Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

As the person whom the question is begging, I can definitively say it is begged by those posts about the world situation to find out their reason :-) No, it's not a matter of balancing what you say with some "good news", it's about seeing that this may be a pattern, and if it is, is it draining energy from elsewhere.

I didn't say I was burned out by activism, per se, just that right at this moment I am feeling burned out in general. For the most part, I stopped activism, puppy mill protests etc a couple of years ago (at the ripe age of nearly 40) upon realizing it is just counter-activity and not the best use of energy right now.

Yes in all cases even joy passes Beans so yes this to will pass. So  of that we can both see it and  be certain . I am quite certain you will find something you really love to do, maybe you are already picking up the essence of it,  and no energy will be wasted, and no energy from stress, will be needed . :-)

The world rewards the choices and reinforces the blindness. Over time, the path becomes built in and harder to escape-- insidious.

Stubbornness doesn’t see that its energy is not its own.

Whose energy is it?

The point is that it is not owned by a person who believes him/herself to be a separate, controlling entity - even if that entity is overlaid with an image of Nobody.

Despite an image of nobody or of somebody, the entity does not exist: what are you talking about?? Show me one entity who you think is real.

Does anyone have a picture of Bruce I can borrow ? I understand the concept you have of being a nobody is true psychologically only, not true technically about you as far as being a mostly hairless animal who performs habitually like others in society entertaining himself named Bruce and dining himself, and taking himself to  movies other real animals invented for him, and acted in them for him and others to enjoy and to to watch who make a living doing that  .

Re: Sorrow

There are no entities.  That is obvious.  What doesn't seem so obvious to you is that the source of all illusions(including the illusion of self) is the same source(or non-source) as that of rainbows and flowers and the spots on a leopard's back.

Obvious to whom what entity ? It is not obvious there are no individuals even if the masses represent the believer as the believed, and mostly imitate and conform, and live in memory . What created rainbows and flowers and the spots on a leopard's back only created a brain . Thought invented a conditioned tool,  it implanted in children's memories, that could play god running on a program, that can never create one rainbow, a brain a sunset, a leopard, one flower, or one spot but sure can fill itself up with hot air, and make war  . :-)

why are there rainbows and flowers and galaxies?

If that flower can be labeled as such, then it is an entity.

If this body gets sunburned, it will feel pain. The body of Eden will not feel that pain.

The flower and the human body are only illusions to the extent of the interpretation mechanism of the  human (in order for awareness to perceive them).
