PROUD TO BE DEVOUT MUSLIMS

[joinery11]

this has nothing to do with dogs, this isnt crap, its makes perfect sense, its real hard to give in to non duality totally 100 percent, those who cant see it are in denial, end of. Waking up is an incrediable thing, life is hard, good and bad work hand in hand, time to let go again and surrender to it.

Thanks for posting.

The pain that you felt from that doG being gone, was your mind not realizing the truth. If you live your life on feelings, you'll never cope with the reality of life my friend. I here you mention God, and call your doG Buddha. What's up with that, is your mind all mixed up.

So what's the point of this video anyway? I'm feeling joy everyday. The truth that sets you free my friend is accepting reality as it is. If that's what you've done, that's fine with me - but know that I've done it too!

Anybody heard Beached by Orbital? Caprio's speech is very poignant! ^.^

There'll always be problems but if we resist or add suffering through thinking the problem get frozen ...like a frozen lake the ripples can't expand out and dissolve. Let's keep things moving and welcome the non duality.

For the first time in a year I felt a small spark of hope which kept growing for a few minutes till I felt peace and happiness for the first time in years. After that my external world very rapidly changed.... I was in limbo for a year prior, the changes that happened almost immediately no one here would believe but they did and I'm living proof. There'll always be problems but if we resist or add suffering through thinking the problems will get frozen ...like a frozen lake the

Wow...I can't believe I heard my experience so beautifully verbalized by this shining spirit. My dog was healthy at the time but my conceptual life was at it's end. My co dependant marriage was ending and I had only my young son, enormous guilt, red hot grief, crippling fear, and blinding confusion. One morning as I was routinely miring in it, this miracle spark in my heart began as Ayshanti described - i then surrendered ...100%... to it all. For the first time in a year I felt li

I let my dog, Coco, go December 21, 2010. She had lymphoma and was ready to go. It is the most intense grief imaginable. I haven't yet found the way to let go 100% like Adya is talking about. The grief goes on... I love her and miss her so much. I just have to accept that this is what it's like for me now. Nothing stays the same.

[hydrogenroar]

@grejambri I hope you're getting some peace. My little friend was murdered several days ago and my grief

was so deep it entered into the realm of cosmic despair. I finally let it reveal itself to me as I watched every painful thought and sought out the deepest pain I could find just to examine it. It is not easy, you have to burn.

I feel some blessed relief now, but please know you're not alone even though you feel like you are.

[kstilwell2000]

I am honored that my dog found me and I found him. How wonderful the joy we shared. If we had never found each other my true sorrow would be the life he may have lead and the life I may have lead - life w/o each other. My grief is such a small price to pay for so many years of a such a blessing. He is now on his journey as I respect this passing. I am at peace.

[moqutpar]

This really gives meaning to the phrase that loving somehing means being able to let it go

[cspace1234nz]

So funny how many people seem to think he is talking about his dog. I get that but I never used to.

[sapphireey]

i don't get it: can you surrender consciously or is it something beyond our control and just happens whenever it happens?

[moqutpar]

@sapphireey that is the path to awakening... to know that there is no doer...just awareness and acceptance of what is

Boringshi, i believe he says "all week long", not "i'll weep long"

[bubgum00]

I just put my dog down a month ago...it is killing me.

[LeftCoastSTi]

I love my dog so much it is difficult for me to enjoy the time we still have together knowing I am destined to great pain when I lose him. I am always searching for help with this. Thank you

[boringshi]

I've often had 'weird' moments where my intense suffering and grief suddenly dissipated altogether. I suspect it was because I discovered the peace behind it (emptiness) through surrendering to the maddening grief.

Fantastic sentence at the end there: " I don't mind if I have grief; I'll weep long."

[sivko23]

people usually say "i m stubborn" with pride.....

this story deeply touched me with deep meaning , wonderful just touching... thank you adya..

[LuqmanNaq]

Beautiful... psychology, alternative therapy and spiritual/religious traditions teach the importance, freedom and power of self-acceptance... not disowning our own emotions and thoughts, regardless if we like them or not. Wonderful message. May God help us all accept our vulnerablity, longings, suffering and happiness.

Molleen Matsumura:

Reason guides our attempt to understand the world about us. Both reason and compassion guide our efforts to apply that knowledge ethically, to understand other people, and have ethical relationships with other people.

Oh Lord, help me to be as wonderful as my dog thinks I am - anonymous

[tobiaslarsgunnar]

YES!, we forget that 'feeling is healing' with a lot of spiritual paths - we try to go around our feelings. - it only scars us - real healing in fully feeling...Natural Balance occurs.

[authorgirlpetparent]

Yes! 100% burn! When my canine bodhisattva died- there it was- when I was broken open totally- in the depths of me- a place where the agony and the ecstasy were merged...one in the same. Thank you for speaking it so clearly in this video.

[pseidell]

when your heart is opened by

the horrible torture of pain from mourning

there is an explosion of love paul

[airedog]

Heaven is the place where, when you get there, every dog you ever loved comes running to greet you.

[kikikilly]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!! love that comment

[universalwholemind]

That would be nice. I have had a lot of dogs I've loved.

[veggiebiker]

@airedog i sure hope thats true! i had a beautiful lurcher called Wilf- you know the sort ....fun,mischivous,scruffy,kin­d eyes. Take him to the beach and watch him run for joy! he would run in circles of eight sometimes, i think he appreciated the turning excelleration and once when in top gear greyhound mode he leapt completely over the heads of a group of picnickers!

When i buried him after a terminal illness i planted a silver birch on his grave, a graceful beautiful tree...................

[Roziedoz]

So true whether the dog is the four or the two legged variety.

[seizeallhearts]

I just lost my dog of almost 10 years on March 19th, 2007. It was nice to hear you talk about what I'm going through.

[nicolatwo]

We just lost our girl Samantha. She was a Great Dane and Labrador mutt. She died on her birthday, June 9th. She was 11 years old. It left me with this void in my chest. I also let myself cry all the way. Once you completely let yourself feel you become balanced. Feeling the pain fully simultaneously eliminates the suffering.

[arunachala1008]

ya, thats what its all about
