If it looks hopeless and you think all seems to be impossible..just hold on to Jesus and tell God you are stuck and need help just do that Because nothing is impossible with God and if you let him Jesus will lead you to victory! Believe and Amen.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Sometimes, when life becomes challenging, faith and reliance on a higher force can lead us to inner peace and strength. In Buddha's teachings, belief and mental focus also help us overcome despair and reach enlightenment. I hope you always find inspiration and serenity on your path
Well done for being brave enough to share your personal transformation story 😉🙏🏻. I look forward to hearing about how you also think never laughing or crying again is a requirement for "Zen enlightenment". "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water" Zen Proverb. I could as well say, stroke wood, spill water, but the point remains the same. The vehicle gets you there, you don't spend the rest of your life driving it, you go back to living your life in your new location (enlightenment). Keep up the good work 🕉️☸️☯️🙏🏻🕊️
Hello and greetings, Thank you very much for your warm comment and encouragement.💚 I truly appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. Your courage and support are incredibly valuable to me. I also believe that Zen enlightenment is about a shift in perspective on life, not about abandoning emotions and daily responsibilities. For me, enlightenment means a deeper and more mindful understanding of the present moment. The ability to continue our daily lives with a calm and open mind, even while performing simple tasks like chopping wood or carrying water, is significant. Our emotions, including laughter and tears, are natural and essential parts of our human experience and should not be dismissed. I strongly believe that Zen enlightenment helps us achieve greater balance and tranquility by embracing these emotions and living with them. The Zen proverb you mentioned truly reflects this idea that our daily tasks and responsibilities do not change after enlightenment, but our perspective and attitude towards them do.
@@BetterThanBefore_btb Ironing is just a Zen garden with steam 😉 Zen for me is knowing I couldn't write a better script for my life than the one the universe continues to write for me. The hardest thing I found to accept was that no matter how much we try to lead them, some people haven't lived enough lives to understand or believe enlightenment exists. They will get there in another life though. The wild fox is another good koan to back your point that, despite our enlightenment we must still interact with the world and let the world interact with us. The Buddhist Siddihs and Taoist occultism might interest you if you haven't already come across them. Obviously they're distracting for the ego before enlightenment, but after they can be quite reassuring with regards to the unity of all 10,000 things. Enjoy the show and blessings be upon you 🕉️☸️☯️🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you so much for your profound and meaningful comment. ❤️ Your comparison of ironing to a Zen garden is truly creative and shows the depth of your connection to Zen philosophy. You touched on an important point: trusting the flow of life requires faith in the wisdom of the universe, something many of us need time to fully understand. The "wild fox" koan is also a great reminder that even with enlightenment, we must remain engaged with the world rather than separate from it. As for Buddhist Siddhis and Taoist occultism, I agree that they can serve as tools to deepen our understanding of the unity of all things after enlightenment. I’ll definitely explore these topics further. Thank you for sharing your insights and positive energy. Wishing you clarity and light on your journey!
Thank you for your thoughtful words. It means a lot to know that the efforts I make resonate with others. Wishing you clarity and light on your journey🙏❤️
Absolutely true, truth and inner peace can guide our lives. In Buddhist philosophy, understanding the truth and connecting with our higher self are keys to transformation and lasting peace. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Any attempt to control a body action with guilt is a sin within itself. Any guilt will intensify the problem. Guilt, like fear, are not real. Look for the internal block that is blocking whole perfect Love from flowing. Body denial is not necessarily a solution and may be responsible for a greater peoblem.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective. The points you’ve raised about guilt and fear are deeply philosophical and worth reflecting on. However, my perspective is that while guilt can indeed be destructive, it can also serve as a sign of moral awareness and a need for change. The key lies in transforming guilt into self-awareness and constructive growth rather than suppression or self-punishment. Additionally, the body and its needs are an integral part of our human nature. They shouldn’t be denied but rather harmonized with our spiritual and emotional dimensions. The perfect love you mentioned flows most freely when we learn to embrace and balance both our physical and mental selves. The purpose of this content is not to instill guilt but to inspire reflection and encourage a path toward growth and balance. Perhaps, as you’ve pointed out, acceptance and awareness are the true keys to overcoming internal blocks.🌱🪷
EVANGELIST MIRANDA, you shouldn't be masturbating anyhow if you are a believer, God condones this act but not unforgivable, repent, confess, be set free in Jesus Name EVANGELIST MIRANDA 😢
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This video discusses the topic from a Buddhist perspective, emphasizing mindfulness and self-control. My intention is not to promote or justify any act but to provide a space for understanding and personal growth. I respect diverse beliefs, and I encourage constructive dialogue on such matters. Thank you for your input.
Pardon please. I fear you may have placed the wrong word, condone mens to say it is okay and I promise you God does NOT codone self pleasuring the temple of the Holy Spirit. God bless and thank you.
@@frankmiranda5623 Please point me to chapter and verse/s please, Im learning. I do read, I am reading and I will again. Condone can mean to forgive, overlook, or pardon. Found it seemed a bit out of place to have forgive in front of unforgiveable in the context you utilized, like saying the same thing two different ways, thought I ws misreading or just a bit confused. Offense was not intended. And yes He will forgive it with proper repentance, totally agree. For myself, that cycle revolved around weak faith and a lack of willingness to forego the pleasures Ive grown accustomed to. Each day is a pleasure for now, but i have come to know that this can change in a blink making constant contact with Jesus a must for me. By the way, Im 69, just finished the bible a month ago for the first time, back on Exodus and its amazing that it does seem clearer, cant wait to get through and read it again! God bless you

It doesn’t matter where this story originated or who wrote it; what matters is the power of its message to inspire and resonate. Sometimes, stories serve as a means to help us understand deeper values and concepts, regardless of their source. Perhaps it’s worth focusing on the message rather than the origin.
