NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Don’t try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it irritates the pig.
Anthony de Mello\
Never knew pigs could sing but can they fly?
They cant sing, that's why it irritates them...
The full quote....
"People don’t really want to grow up, people don’t really want to change, people don’t really want to be happy. As someone so wisely said to me, “Don’t try to make them happy, you’ll only get in trouble. Don’t try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it irritates the pig."
"Do you think you help people because you are in love with them? Well, I’ve got news for you. You are never in love with anyone. You’re only in love with your prejudiced and hopeful idea of that person. Take a minute to think about that: You are never in love with anyone, you’re in love with your prejudiced idea of that person."
Ten_of_cupss: It comes when some other people tell you that you have been wrong the whole time...
"As one man said, "I got a pretty good education. It took me years to get over it." That's what spirituality is all about, you know: unlearning. Unlearning all the rubbish they taught you."

When you admit your faults in a situation and stop twisting the narrative, and realise that in your drug induced state and living in poverty that you really are nothing of what you speak.. But miracles don't happen usually

And isn't it annoying when they don't live up to our prejudiced idea of them! Which they couldn't even if they wanted to try because they have no idea of what they're supposed to be like in order to match the prejudiced idea of them
Although quantum physics demonstrated that the observer has the power to influence the outcome. Ie the outcome of an experiment will be different depending who is observing it... That could mean that observing ourselves could bring about a different outcome than if we weren't. Not by choosing to consciously make changes but by the simple act of observing self... Not sure how aware we truly can be and at the same time be rxperiencing the above process. What do you think Pedro?
Selenite: Give us an example of how you've experienced it being an illusion
That's easy. I think I said as much. This physical life, of course. I experience it as everyone else does, though through a different lens or perspective if you will which contributes to an infinite number of possible experiences along with all entities of consciousness.
"Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists."
This is difficult to explain and even more difficult for some to accept. What is real is your soul, your energy body. (not your meatsuit) It is the only thing that is real. It cannot be threatened, cannot be killed, it never ends, it exists forever. It is that 'part' of you, the "I Am" that exists infinitely, with or without a meat suit.
However what we humans tend to think is real, is our meat suit and material things. All in this 'life' can be killed, it all ends and in fact it changes all the time as well. It is not consistent nor solid. The body senses deceive us with the illusion of 'time' as helper. The illusion is well built by intelligent infinity, aka god, aka source, aka allah, etc
All situations are defined by one's perception or point of view yes?, which is different for everyone. This is unreality as well since reality, in my definition, requires truth, consistency and constancy. The only thing that has that is our soul aka energy body.
All of consciousness is real. Even a rock, the trees and animals all have this 'energy within consciousness' though the actual physical rock or tree is illusion. That we are all one is the real kicker but let's leave that for another thread.
When one is in a night time dream, it seems so real yes? One cannot deny this feeling of feeling real during a dream, yet you 'wake up' and think, "pheww that was just a dream, an illusion of my sleep."
One can wake up to the world's 'life' illusion as well. It runs deeper but that is the best I can do on short notice. Time is the additive that supports what we think is reality but there is no time either. That is an even longer story.
