Dear Friends
There are two aspects of these concepts
1 Lawukika 2 Lokottara
In the lawukika side these words use to explain a Dhammic aspect to layman.While in the Lokottara aspect you do not find them as explain in Lawukika aspect.Instead it will be to Pragnhana eye.That is for Srutawath aryasrawakaya.Former catageroy for Asrutawath aryasrawakaya.

Thanks

But you think that you can change things, or you wouldn't post questions and comments here, and sometimes you thank people for sorting things out for you. It's best to keep positive, and maintain the view that your actions make a difference.
The actions i do become better and better i believe because the downs become better.

That depends on the meditation technique you are practicing but broadly speaking it should be paying attention to what you've decided to pay attention to.
Pronouns (no self / not self)
“Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.”
