@mandyjw Have you seen this thread? I bet you're gonna like it.

Very good. When will you see the doctor? Make sure to not confuse enlightenment with the death of the body. Here is a great post by @Preetom that highlights this difference:

@mandyjw Are you acquainted with chakras? Are you sure it's not solar plexus chakra waking up? When I was dying my whole body was on fire.

@mandyjw Are you trying to be in the present sometime in the future? Are you worried that you've lost the present moment in the past?

And it keeps being hell until you realize it's no different from paradise.

@mandyjw "Will you take the apple?"

That's your man, not mine. I like how brutal this is.

At that time I saw this as a horcrux that I still clung to. Crossing this sentence out brought me relief. Never understood what law of attraction was all about, but I found it attractive nonetheless. I really disliked it for being proposed as a tool to achieve goals. I never had no goals to begin with so I couldn't buy into it. The moon only shines with a reflected light.

You're wise, old man. Let's have a dinner.

USA is going to be a very fertile ground in a few years when it will have its existential crisis. With the increase of importance of self-driving cars, there will be massive unemployment among truck drivers and transportation in general. If you are able to provide universal basic income for people that are unemployable because of this (and they are), what else is there to do in life than become spiritual? Other than that - if you need somebody to tell you that you're full of shit - then this is it: You are playing the lesser jihad.

@Zigzag Idiot Hey, I was wondering where would you put me on your ladder of idiots? I really enjoy when you talk about enlightenment from your own experience.

First of all, nonduality is unprovable. Period. If science were to realize nonduality, it would first have to become self-conscious. This self-consciousness, would be a branch of science that studies science as a whole. This meta-science would have to create a theory of science. Its centralized identity. Then, newly-created branches would have to conform to this identity until stagnation. Then, a question would arise - is science that studies itself conforming to the identity that it created? After a long turmoil - it would have to admit that science does not exist and it has never existed to begin with.

I haven't drew a hexagram in a few days. Mostly because I learned the message that the book had to offer. It had helped me tremendously. Thank you @Zigzag Idiot . It would be great if you took care of the journal. I may post here from time to time.

What is that person made of? What does this person hinge upon? Like really, contemplate that. Write this stuff. This is your enlightenment theory. It's not enough to believe that there is no person. Sometimes a theory is a record of lies to be disposed. A record you need to write to see through yourself. If there is no single thing that this person contributes to the totality, then what does it even mean to be a person? And don't make the mistake Leo makes. You do not contribute that theory to the world. That theory is garbage from the start. Write that on a piece of paper and burn it down once you're done.

@Preetom

Really? There's not even an ounce of originality in you? If all you do is sit, that's just monkeying enlightened teachers and there is no person in there to become enlightened.

@Joseph Maynor Now that's a koan.

When is the right time to look at a watch? Do you look at the watch to know when is the time to look at the watch?

Time is a delusion.

Don't worry Joseph, you're a part of my harem. No need to be jeaous, mkay?

@now is forever By realizing that there was no suffering to begin with.

Can you? Would you? Have you not learned when you were a 'mindless' child?

It is. The purpose of art is to take a piece of yourself, work on it until it's beautiful and then discard it. Have you ever heard an enlightened master hammer the same thing over and over? If so, stop listening to this madman because he can't find himself beautiful.

If it's insulting, then you are misunderstanding it. It's a position said from a point of view of a person that is so spiritually pure, that this is the universe that he would create. There is no such thing as God, ultimately. Talking about God is a way to express yourself. It's like poetry, or abstract art.
