Questions seem to help sometimes if you couple them with direct experience. For noobies/intermediate. Who is aware? (Obviously.) Who is aware of the subject that is aware of the subject that is aware of the subject...? Does awareness have a color? Does awareness have a shape? Does awareness have a boundary? Is awareness a material? What is it made of? Is there a boundary between perception and awareness? What does the subject look like? Where are thoughts occuring? What are the main "features" of awareness? Is there anything behind your visual field? Do you have a face? These questions are meant to be deeply pondered and not answered haphazardly. Any other pointers you have? Thanks.

Nah, sometimes I shoot and miss.

BLUE/Green has an Us vs Them mentality that it has a hard time to let go off while healthy Green can see more nuances and is more focused on common humanity. Im not that into Vaush anymore, kind of bored of identity politics but this debate was very interesting.

It was a joke. Sorry should have put an emoji somewhere. I actually love zooming into the Is-ness, its a real mindfuck.

Awesome stuff! My way be would sort of like Rupert Spiras way. Ask a question like "Where is the boundary of awareness?" and then look inside yourself to see if there is one. Kind of like quickly glancing at a map when youre traveling up the hillside.

What an absolutely insensitive and douchebag thing to do. I will watch the video now.

I know what self-inquiry is. Read my previous posts before you post yourself.

I can see how that conversation would go, "What is is?" "Is is what is." "Yeah but what is it?" "It is what it is" "Got it."

Meditation is one of the keys to get your from Orange to Green. Orange is all about Do Do Do Get Get Get More More More! Meditation is the opposite of that. Literally just sitting down and shutting the fuck up. Thats why most people at Orange poo-poo it. Its becoming more popular though as Orange has hijacked it because they think its going to make them superman, it wont, it will just chill you out. Jokes on them.

I think it helps to clear up unconscious assumptions. We all have images of what certain words should refer to. Growing up in the materalist paradigm I used to have an idea that consciousness was some brain thingy. Obviously its not. But someone had to point it out first. Now its a question mark and an empty cup, which is way better.

Hahaha love this meme.

PICK Chart - for decision making.

You can use different tools. Sometimes language helps. If Leo hadnt told me "You dont exist" back in 2016 I would have never started this journey. But I agree, its 90% direct observation.

@Judy2 @Tim R These are great! I like the one about the tension in the body! I often forget the body and focus too much on the head.

Conservatives are right-wingers no matter if theyre leaning toward the middle or not. Just own it. Dont be scared. Btw its better to call it Centre-Right leaning and not "centrist conservative".

Narcissists are hopeless! Move out as soon as you can! Go to university! Dont look back. "You cant change the people around you but you can change the people around you".

No youre thinking. You can think for a thousand years but never get anywhere. You have to use awareness to look! Drop thinking!

?r.i.p❤️ Pets truly are special. I sometimes babysit a bolognese, hes my best friend for real. So authentic, so loving, so beautiful. Its a meditation just watching him lie around.

They are what they are. You dont have to add anything on top your experience or try to figure stuff out... yet. Just look at what is true in your direct experience then logic will follow. I suggest doing some self-inquiry and finding out what/where/who the so called subject is. You wont get far trying to intellectually figure it out. Start by going inside. Thats the core.

Is it your experience right now that you are those people? It has to be absolutely true for you otherwise its belief.

You see appearances you call people and you imagine they have a "subjective" reality. Their subjective reality has only ever occurred in your thoughts, where else could it appear, you cant switch minds with others. Check with your experience to see if this is true or not.

Easy question to ask yourself: Have you seen the subject? If so, what does it look like? If not, Why do you assume it exists to begin with?

Haha I didnt know this existed! Thanks for giving me a laugh! What a lovely fetish!

Its just a post-nut chemicals in your brain. Dont worry about it. Cooming takes up alot of energy too, especially if youre really in a rut.
