I am the most peaceful I have ever been

[geonagual]

It has been great, now that I am not worried about religion or god. It gives me full potential to do other fun things in my life instead of wasting it on religion. The angst and pain I have put on myself in my lifetime trying to believe in God and making sure I pick the right religion and all that stuff, I could care less about now.

because impermanence is one of the four reminders right?

hilarious. I always feel odd making jokes that are obscure in context. But I'm pulling for you dev...

nah, disregard me when I get depressive. I was just really extremely depressed yesterday, decided I'd give up on life, on buddhism, on everything. Then a rather fortunate turn of events occured yesterday that pulled me out of it. I seem to get these extreme ups and downs, mostly from being in pain 24/7.

oh, and I just realized why that was unclear. I mean I've found inner peace before.

Actually I think I know what you mean, or maybe not but it reminded me of something I said to myself once.

Similar to geonagual I decided to fully give up Christianity since I was probably a piss-poor one to begin with. Seeing the guilt free new freedom of thought and action I had was very refreshing, since I didn't have to wonder if God or Jesus or whoever may be...spying on me for lack of better terms disapproving of my actions. This was my primitive form of inner peace, I was merely spiritual i.e. meditation, delving into astral projection, et cetera.

Soon thereafter it passed and I was "normal" again though the "inner peace" lasted nearly a year. I was lost and uh...spiritually alone. That was a low point for awhile, I kind of got depressed and all that jazz.

Then I read a few things and altered the ol' mind a few times and came to the conclusion that now that I didn't need God I had to clear my own path instead of following his clear cut 2000 year old path. Since I knew I would be okay in the 'spiritual jungle' I call it this resulted a second wave of inner peace.

Man...didn't mean to type out that much. I hope it makes sense and I didn't stray too far off the subject, heh...

...and lastly I forgot to add, congratulations geonagual. Feels great doesn't it?

Losing all hope is freedom.
