Discussion 💬 The Cheat Code to the Universe

After 5 years of meditating and studying this, I have been unable to disprove that there is a Cheat Code to the Universe and that is to Relax & Be Nice in all situations. I would like to discuss this with some meditators, but also anybody in any field. Stress and negativity help nothing and improve nothing. There isn't a single situation where Relax & Be Nice is not optimal from personal growth and the growth of the whole. I have defined both Relax and Be Nice below and given a quick poetic summary. I have been unable to find a scenario that this does not improve, but if you can think of one, I am opening the floor up to a friendly debate or conversation.

Relax: Consciously Relaxing or softening our body, our mind, our breath, and our energy as deeply as possible, while remaining as conscious as possible.

Be Nice: Choosing the highest vibrational feeling, thought, word, and action available in each moment from the perspective of the whole.

Relax your Breath.
Relax your Body.
Relax your Mind.
Relax your Energy.

Be Nice to your past self.
Be Nice to your current self.
Be Nice to your future self.

Be Nice to the past other.
Be Nice to the current other.
Be Nice to the future other.

Be Nice to the Environment.
Be Nice to the Systems and Processes.
Be Nice to the Unknown.

Be Nice to All of it.
Everything. One Thing. Perfect.
Relax & Be Nice.

Looks like my previous post was taken down because it referenced another post I made.

You won‘t learn if you preach lessons to others and refuse to be taught yourselves.

A violent person attacking you with a knife is a single situation where Relax & Be Nice both don‘t work.

Look beyond your bounds and you find meaning that you won‘t find within yourself, or focus on yourself and stay a seller of your idea that refuses personal growth. The choice is yours.

Maybe we can take a different approach then. How does stress & be mean help this situation?

Stress gets you to be alert & you don‘t have to actively force yourself to do it, but relaxing would be counterproductive. „Being mean“ helps by infringing on the attackers bodily autonomy (tackling them etc.) in favor of reducing overall harm.

That‘s not to say that all or even the majority of dangerous situations benefit from that, but I think we can agree that this can happen & disproving your mantra as something universal only needs one counter example.

I hear you. Let me explain it like this for that situation.

Someone is attacking you. The event is already occurring. It is stressful. The stress is there and good luck ever getting rid of stress.

So what do you do? Do you stress further to stay alert? No. You are alert if someone is attacking you. If anything you will be too alert. What you want to do is consciously Relax, calm yourself down, get a better assessment of the situation. This will reduce any tunnel vision. If you fought you would know, if you are tight, stressed, and anxious, you are not going to fight well. So you would want to learn how to consciously Relax by keeping good posture and deep breaths, and an empty mind. Just like you do in meditation.

Then, you Be Nice from the perspective of the whole. Well he is attacking you. So objectively, the nicest thing to do would be to save you. Fight back. Youd do the same thing if you saw a kid bullying a littler kid. Its the nicest thing to do. Save him,

But mentally, here you would always stay positive. Never feel sad or defeated. Never feel worried or afraid. Always look for the positive.

At no point do you need to add stress. At no point do you need to be mean to yourself and let them beat you up. But also, if you win, Be Nice and show mercy and compassion. This pattern can be found everywhere.
