The Goal Has Created the Misery for You

[DoctorWho176]

Is his viewpoint a mix of absurd-ism and nihilism? 

[shadowmanfan]

Yeah I like this guy too! He's very straight forward. I have the same attitude as I have grown to see and realize, that all around me I am being spoon-fed BS in numerous fields - religion, history,education etc. Realize this fact, by watching, listening, then research, compare. And you will realize, you will wake up, and realize,they really are telling us BS. But deny it as such, because they have been brainwashed to believe all they've been taught is fact. escape that madness!

I wonder what UG would have done if Lao Tzu had appeared in the garden. Would Lao Tzu be shivering or would UG be shaking like a docket and saying 'This man is a dragon!'

[witn3ss]

@Velasca trust me lao tzu would shit his pants

Don't get lost in philosophy and words from someone else... Practice.... Anapanasati- breath moving in and going out... the mind/personality has much to say about it- insights that arise from levels of intellectual comprehension, experience... Vipassana is the best ever practice for making it more likely to have an accident know as satori, realization, meditation... Philosophy should be the byproduct of ones own meditative experiences and not anyone else's "insights"

ug showed us that trying is failing :) just be

[xjoe1988x]

that dude tripped out near the end there... lol 

[22mar79]

@Sneakyshoes102 But not taking a step is a step too, hehe. No way out. *BOOM!* (LOL)

[NondualAwareness]

@22mar79 any step is a step away from who you already are. Mooji says this also.

[22mar79]

@NondualAwareness Yes, but he is just repeating what he learnt somewhere, he seems to have seen the thing as it is but not really tasted it. Otherwise, he would be finished with the whole thing, but he keeps on repeating that nonsense and selling books, you know? Where's that a book seller is enlightened? There are no means at all. It's like a blossoming, either it happens by and for itself or it doesn't happen at all. The means to achieve or attain it is the problem. There's no means at all.

[JustSomePerson888]

@22mar79 - how does being enlightened mean you are somehow immune to having to make money or get food etc?

i'm not saying publishing industry isn't done all wrong for the most part, it is like nearly any other system done in ways that fuck up the planet, so it's stupid & evil, but - being enlightened isn't the same as having your magical powers that can manifest what your physical body needs to survive happily now is it.

I could only hope to have this man's wisdom, punch, gumption, humor and outlook when I'm his age...or younger. Thank you for posting this. Namaste.

[NondualAwareness]

@asana1973 throw away your intelligence and you'll get his wisdom. Check out my channel. Peace

[nothingnesswithouten]

i love to hate UG and hate to love him and then everything seems rather silly... aargh!

[mrcuteblackie]

true

[kensho3]

The title says it all. Goal implies future. Future-thinking is denial of "now". That's OK but if it becomes a life-long habit and after 80 years, you are left with an unexamined life and that is a pity.

[capgains]

@kensho3

to examine though is to look back in the past.

however, i do agree with you that introspection can uncover today's results

[22mar79]

@kensho3 The so-called 'now' is past too. An already memorized moment that you frame and call 'now', but it's past too. The moment you frame it and call it 'now' it's already past, present can never be experienced.

[gravisan]

@22mar79 as I think about what I want to reply, it occurs to me, the internet is a huge time machine.

[22mar79]

@gravisan It's not that it's a time machine, it's repetitive, repetition is all that's there.

[human2011able]

@22mar79 what do you say about Mooji?

[22mar79]

@human2011able A book seller of the thing he learnt somewhere and keep on repeating, nothing else. (Strange, I didn't receive the message about these comments to me in my mailbox, I just found them now because I came here to check if I had already added this video to my playlist on UG. Well, it's answered anyway.)

[DoctorWho176]

@22mar79 I disagree partly; we experience the present every moment (as long as we are mindful of it). But the moment we experience it, (every moment), it is gone.
