Here's a couple of thoughts,
What are you avoiding by smoking cigars and drinking alcohol?
And how specifically are they enjoyable when they are so detrimental to your health?
I have asked these questions of myself btw.

Have fun,

The more "enlightened" I become the more I want to experience EVERYTHING. What is it to be human? To experience EVERY emotion.

Have fun,

Here's my $.02 IMHO Jed is Adya. Way too similar not to be. However it doesn't matter either way. I listened to Adya for a couple of years before I found Jed. I kept getting close but never fully "got" Adya. Then I read "Damndest" and "got" his explanation of "enlightenment". I have since read the o...

Good luck

For me, its the opposite. Mind created life is painful and full of suffering, but transcending that (i.e., realizing my...

I sent this to Jed McKenna a few days ago... ------------------------------------------------------------ Your book almost killed me. Seriously. I debated with myself whether to write you or not. Guess now you know the outcome. A little back story, I had been for years reading/listening to Tolle, Ad...

Hello All, Sometimes I have an insight that all around me including the place I live, people, animals, my girlfriend and even the food I eat are a creation of my own consciousness (or soul), so my mind and body can go through the life experiences I need to become more aware. And that is also true f...

I like your reply Onceler, thanks!

I really liked Avatar although it reminded me of "Dances with Wolves". Very similar storyline. Leap the movie was really cool too, watched that about 3 times...

Edit: Thanks Ananda for finding this thread for me... :D Hi folks, I looked here for a while for a previous thread on spirituality in movies but couldn't find it so I'll post a new topic... I recently re-watched "Total Recall" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and (although I didn't remember the acting...
