Obviously you should respect the opponent and only do what's necessary to win but I think it involves some form of anger so im not sure if it should be done

@Genesis you don't need anger to be violent. That's just what your anger/ego wants you to believe.

So you can be at peace whilst still being a good violent fighter?

Indeed

ok

Peace is within, violence is without

Hey fellas

heyyo

yo I also have another question when jesse says all thoughts are lies how in the world are u meant to decide what to do with your life without thinking

Stiller do u participate in combat sports?

sometimes I spar with friends

but not competitively no

Stiller, the thoughts pretend to be you but you're actually deeper than the thoughts

You can do everything you do now without thoughts

Try out the silent prayer, brother.

Sparring is fun.

I have been doing the silent prayer, but sometimes u know u gotta think about things like answers on a test or what to learn and what to ignore

amen brother

I wouldn't say so necessarily. For example when I am counting change for a customer, if I try to think about it, my mind goes blank. Yet, if I merely look at the money, I already know how much to give back

The ego actually restricts us from using natural talents

I doubt that you instantly know how much money to give back you have to think throughout the day right

The mind should be reflective of reality and it shouldn't add things onto it

Stiller Perhaps thinking is different than holding on to thoughts?

Ruminating

That could be but jesse also says to let go of all thoughts as they are all lies

No, I instantly knew how much money to give back, @Genesis

Observe and let go, no?

yeah observe but don't control them

And badger thats good but there are important questions to contend with in life right that you should think about

for instance in one of jesses biblical questions he talked about how this is the stuff that you should be thinking about

No

I don't think about important questions

I already know

and if I do not then I wait for it to be revealed

Contemplation and discernment... stillness psalms 46:10

Jesse tries to get people to think rather than just go around like a busy worker bee slave to Satan

It's a way of triggering self-awareness and presence

But the thoughts are not the goal

So he is trying to get people to think about important questions right like what is love, was jesus weak things like that

Part of it is he doesn't just want people to follow and agree with him

he wants them to be able to be independent
