Whenever was an Ambitious Mind Satisfied by Acquisition?

m.n

Take a lesson from the fowls of Heaven, and the brutes of the field. It is not the elevation of place, but the conveniency of accommodation that governs them. Ambition is an accursed germ of evil in the human mind. Like a conjurer’s wand, ambition had so confined my mind that I could no more give my thoughts liberty to range than if I had been under the power of enchantment. This potential to transcend the limitations of the human condition is certainly a most essential human capacity. The human plane is particularly interesting and significant in its own right. I want World peace and all that good stuff, but you know, we still require a little evil to keep us all happy.  #RyanPhillippe 1 of 16

You know the pastor be drinking and smoking weed after church, too. And he probably dating a few of the members. However, that is okay, as long as his wife approves and he keeping a roof over the church house, service is on time every Saturday and Sunday, or Wednesday, whatever day you feel me. Be not too ambitious, else wilt thou die of thy victories. And do not love the polar star, lest thou set fire to it and fall to ashes. I really do not mind on occasion hearing the gossip birds babble, talking about, “Girl, she had the never to snatch open my door, and walk up in my house with her hoe and called me a bitch in my own house, then slammed my mutha fuckin’ door!”  #RyanPhillippe 2 of 16

Although I have no clue how that story ended, I just had to stop and asked what happened because I got into it with that bitch before, too. A youthful mind is seldom totally free from ambition; to curb that is the first step to contentment, since to diminish expectation is to increase enjoyment. Indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable; and we all know the difficulty of carrying out a resolve when we secretly long that it may turn out to be unnecessary. In such states of mind the most incredulous person has a private leaning towards a miracle. The realm of the human World is one of six Heavens. It happens to be the most fortunate realm to be born into. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 16

The World owes all its onward impulse to men ill at ease. The happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits. The human platform is the best for liberation, and that is what makes it especially significant in itself. It is the only realm in which it is possible to become enlightened. And I feel like I am required just to let you know, I am not really happy with you because you do not spend time with me, but then you get mad when I go somewhere with someone, or look at somebody else’s picture on Instagram. I really feel like you are taking advantage of me and wasting my time. I want someone who is hear with me all the time and like to do things with me. I am really honestly getting tired of you and everyone else.  #RyanPhillippe 4 of 16

What is the point of being alive if all you do is sit there typing, sleeping, cleaning, doing laundry, and walking to stay in shape? Then on top of that because of some unknown reason I cannot go anywhere, and what I do I get assaulted, or threatened. And furthermore, then there are people running around playing spy hunter and instead of asking questions, like a bunch of spooks, they run around snooping. Americans seem to place special value on human incarnation in its own right, and are more interested in fulfilling the meaning of this incarnation than going beyond it or finding release from it.  #RyanPhillippe 5 of 16

All I know is I am not happy, but glad you are enjoying all of this. I am so ready to just give up and stop doing everything. I feel like it is a waste of time because I am not getting anything that I want and I have been trying so hard. Regardless of if I do this or not, I will be in the same situation. So what is the point of being so understanding and supporting someone who does nothing, but leave mean waiting, struggling, suffering, and longing for a real and true companion? Instead of liberation, Americans focus on humanness as an evolving vehicle through which the divine, or unconditioned being, can progressively manifest in conditioned, Earthly existence. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 16

Ambition is temptation which could disturb the bliss of Heaven itself. If you are like me, you have been happy in your relationship for a while, but lately it just does not feel right. Do you suspect your man might be calling Becky with the good hair and cheating on you? The usual suspects: Lipstick on his collar or clothes, unexpected marks indicative of sexual activity on his body, another person’s scent on his clothes or hair. Especially if this happens more than once. All of the sudden, his working days are longer, maybe he even had to travel, so he is away from you for days, weeks, and even months at a time. You start seeing him posting pictures on social media with other people, hugging and kissing them.  Then on top of all that, lifestyle expenses are increasing (drinks, meals, hotels, drugs, clothes, cars, gasoline) that do not include you.  #RyanPhillippe 7 of 16

Americans also emphasize fully inhabiting our humanness, with all its precariousness and vulnerability. This means fully engaging in the relationships and existential situations we find ourselves in, and also giving ourselves to the evolutionary process of transforming this World. However, he is not even present. Even when he is physically with me, he is off in his own World, and he is not really hearing me. I could say that to be human is to be vulnerable and indestructible at the same time. He takes a lot more trouble over his appearance by dressing better, keeping his hair cut, using aftershave, and has an infatuation with the gym and lifting weights. Fully inhabiting our humanness involve a willingness to open fully to the rawness of creaturely existence, and feel what it is like to be subject to hurt, limitation, conditioning and death. #RyanPhillippe 8 of 16

xfcgvhbjnm,

In life you must not wait for the prize of the race till you touch the goal. You can tell a person is acting unusual when they start changing things up at the house. Showing before coming to bed sometimes signifies guilt or a desire to avoid detection of the scent of a lover, is another clue. One may also be cleaning the car to remove signs of another person. Transcending our humanness means gaining access to the larger domain of pure being and limitless awareness that is not bound by unreality at all. When your man starts a new enthusiasm for a colleague at work, a newly single female, or even a friend of yours. Suddenly, he is talking about her a lot and only too willing to help her out. In fact, he is almost over-helpful! It feels like he has a crush on her to me. Then on top of that he stops noticing you. You could probably have just gotten beat up and be covered in bruises and he will not even hug you, offer you a cup of koffee, not ask you how you are feeling. #RyanPhillippe 9 of 16

Being fully human means honoring truth—immanence, and fully engaging with our humanness, and transcendence, or liberation—equally. If we try to deny out vulnerability, we lose touch with our heart; if we fail to realize our indestructibility, we lose access to enlightened mind. A client of mind once told me that he had been choked, and hit, and two people threatened to kill him while he was driving on his way to the house, and his spouse just pretended like nothing happened, of course he may not have known, but he did not even notice when his mate almost passed out in a pot of boiling water while cooking dinner. It is almost like he does not care, just keep letting it ride until the injuries are too noticeable to overlook, or he will just grief at the funeral? #RyanPhillippe 10 of 16

To be fully human means standing willingly and consciously in both dimensions. This makes human existence an extremely interesting crossroads. Another client told me she once stuck s strand of her long hair in the flame during a candle-lit dinner with her husband—and he did not notice. If your intuition is screaming that you he is having an affair, it is possible that it may be true. Your intuition does not have an agenda, it does not want you to hold onto this man at all costs, it just tells you the truth that it picks up from a thousand subtle clues. His accusations are that you are jealous and/or crazy. Attack is a cheater’s best form of defense. These are classic ploys for making you doubt yourself. Unless you are a habitually jealous person, you are required to trust your feelings and emotions.  #RyanPhillippe 11 of 16

A view that honors and appreciates the full range of human experiences is characterized by survival concerns and dualistic alienation. The dualism of the egoic mind sets up a strict divide between self and other, resulting in endless suffering and conflict. An accomplished cheater will have a mobile that you have never even seen which he uses for his other women/men. The same goes for email accounts. As regards to social media, unless he is an idiot, and/or wants you to find out, you probably will not find any traces of cheating on his social media, unless he is posting the pictures up there for you to see, then pretending they are old or digitally engineered to make you feel comfortable and rationalize these signs of infidelity when they arise. #RyanPhillippe 12 of 16

Then there is nirvana, evolution liberating him, characterized by a pure, open field of awareness that is not divided into subject and object. Are they suddenly being overly nice? Allowing you to watch whatever you want on TV, buying you gifts, asking if you would like to go out to your favourite restaurant. For some, having an affair can make them act happier in their life…or guilt can make them try to make it up to you subconsciously. This awareness of the mind is ready to reveal itself and knows it is time for you to tune into it. Awareness is the doorway to liberation by revealing absolute truth: There is no separate self and no separate other, and thus dualistic alienation and conflict cease.  #RyanPhillippe  13 of 16

There is a human domain proper, which comes to full measure through bringing the complete openness of suprapersonal awareness into personal responsiveness and vital engagement with the situation and people we encounter. Sometimes I hang on to a relationship, even when I am ready to let go, because I think it will get better. However, when your spouse is constantly picking fault with your or accusing you of cheating, one has to recognize that when attraction fades in a relationship and there is something going on the side, it is easy to get irritable. The added burden of deceit does not help. Plus, once someone has successfully cheated undetected, they start to think if they could do it, why cannot you. On the human plane, our lives evolve and unfold through the relative play of duality—otherwise known as the relationship.  #RyanPhillippe 14 of 16

Indeed, the central, defining feature of the human realm is relationship—the network of interactions with others that supports our life from the cradle to the grave. I cannot understand what you are doing and I am not happy with the way things are going. We all know you have cheated and that is why you suspect me of cheating, and I am not happy. You are not doing anything for me that I know of, and I am really ready to let this go and just take my chances out in the World meeting people on my own. Relationships only happens when there are two—who engage in a dance that continually moves back and forth between twoness and oneness. In this way, the human ream serves as a bridge linking us to love. #RyanPhillippe 15 of 16

However, the way you have done me over the past year in particular is not okay, and I do love you, and I know you have problems, too. Nonetheless, you are by definition abusive and I am sure you would want to kill someone if they treated your daughter they way you have treated me. This is why being human is a living paradox, and also a field in which a vast range of feeling—from unbearable sorrow to unthinkable joy—is possible. However, there is a one-sided perspective circulating in this situation, and it is time for you to show absolutely that you love me and want to be here, or we need to just sit down, over dinner, and say a final good-bye. I know everything about you. We even shared our first kiss at the Castle on  29 May 2015 at 6.36pm. #RyanPhillippe 16 of 16
