Exercise: State the #1 sign in the last 5 years that has told you your ideas are on the right path

[Aštra’el]

All around me I can see that through developing my own spiritual-religious system, I have given myself countless reasons to never regret a thing.

How many can honestly say that they do not feel regret?

 

[idea]

one indication I might be on the right path, in these past 5 years, is that I feel I'm starting to achieve better happiness and peace in life, .

On one hand, knowing others are in pain and knowing injustice should mean we are not at peace.

My increased confidence in my own self-reliance gives me hope that others can also solve their own problems too... so with that rationalization, I can find peace, and see the suffering of others as their path to self-reliance, their path to inner strength.

The serenity prayer, do what you can, then let go.

 

[idea]

I use life and reality as my template now. I listen to nature rather than people for the straight skinny.

People are part of nature too.
Peace is found with the mindset- it's not personal attacks, it's just the laws of nature. Predators eating prey. The trick is analyzing our own natural behaviors and experimenting with different interaction techniques.
