You are so correct in this
In the time i been away from the forum, i have meditated every day and i find now dhamma in everything both the pleasant but also what feels negative, because when something feels negative it means there is still more to realise, more dhamma to see 
After almost a month away from this forum, I choose to come back. After much thought and searching, I can't find a forum like this. But I probably won't be as active as I was last time. And I will mostly stick to the Dharma Dir but will from time to time respond to some other parts of the forum too
Great to see you back.
Regards Tony

It is good to be back too.
One of the reasons i did leave in the first place, was that i needed to sort out where i was in life, so i have been on a meditation retreat alone for a few weeks, to see if this could give me clue to where my path lead me
Good for you. It's good to sometimes take a break to reflect on things.

Yes, sometimes there is to much happening in our lifes, and if we are not mindful enough about it, it will lead to suffering (in my exerience) So to pull back from society for some time, and look within during meditation often lead to a form of answer to what is needed to be done

It took me a very long time to see that. Sometimes it still does, but I find that bothers me for shorter and shorter increments. I think what changed my disposition was during a Dharma talk that advised one to run toward what scares you the most. I think it has to do with that red ball of iron lodged in the throat that can never be extinguished or extracted. ;O)You are so correct in this
Of course, that doesn't mean a challenge to go blindly into the worst part of town, (*grin*) but rather when you're faced with negativity and adversary, you charge toward it head-on and in doing so eventually see it for what it is. Another facet of Dharma that is undifferentiated and undistinguishable from the other end of the spectrum that's regarded as amicable and pleasant. It's probably why they say Buddhists can easily traverse through Heaven and Hell Without flinching.
Once realized, you should find that adversary and negativity dosent cause the amount of suffering that it used to, less clinging and attachment regarding the after effects, and a positive impact on your overall wellness and health would become noticeable in the course of time..
"Run toward what scares you the most".
Whatta teacher, eh? =O)

When i had the realisation or should i say when i finally understood the dhamma in a more pure form i noticed that the monkey mind was suddenly silent
And within the meditation the sensation of a physical body was gone, the freedom of being able to exerience a non physical existance, even for only a short time changed the very way of understanding life. But again, i still have much to realise. But it is right in front of me so no need to travel to find it

I knew you'd miss me too much to stay away!
Seriously though, I, for one, am glad to see you've reconsidered.

It is when one leave something behind one understand how much it meant in the moment before leaving it.
He didn't make a production about leaving. He posted a departure thread and unlike most, stuck by his word and didn't come back to read who posted on it.
But I digress. Do you feel better now that you've judged someone else in the interest of stroking your own ego?

I would have failed in that miserably.
I now announce that I will be leaving the forum for several hours.
Good bye!
*whispers to Tom in a hushed tone* Nicely played. Now no one will figure out that you're my favorite.

It's our collective animal magnetism, isn't it?
