thanks for your comment. I specifically said that body&mind&spirit are closely related, so I'm not sure where you got your idea of me believing in separation. As a matter of fact my view on life is for over a decade something that I could sum up like this: There is no separation, besides in the illusion of the mind. Everything in existence is connected, actually the life itself is proof of interconnectedness of all things. I highlight that in most of my "spiritual" posts, which are many. Also, your label of "self-denial" is definitely not something I fancy. I am very much with Osho in this and again, as I said- body IS the direct gateway to Primary Creator, not it's inhibitor (or was it in my previous post earlier today?). Any self-denial is ultimately not the right choice. What I talk about is restraining the distractions to my higher purpose. That does not mean that I will not have sex or beer or coffee anymore. But I won't have it every day and at every whim of my ego. Ego gratification is the easiest way under the sun and can easily convince anyone that it's the right way, because ego is the smartest cloak/role changer under the sun. Lastly, my resolutions are pretty much the same every year and do not mean a radical change anymore. I've been on this path since my twenties, so I know that I am choosing something I can sustain, not a fantasy. All this being said, I appreciate your comment and time and I follow you now. Have a great year bro! :)
P.S. "Belief system" is a hindrance to real growth because "belief" is product of mind, which needs to be eventually transcended to reach "wisdom", which is not ours, we just tap into it. I do not believe. I either know or don't know. And by knowing I am talking about direct experience, not something that I "think or agree with". Much Love!
