  1. That must be hard for her. From first impressions it seems like you blame your girlfriend for all of your problems. We don't know the whole story though.
  2. There are great sources of mental health help available on here, it is more a matter of being able to receive it. But, actual psychotherapy does have additional benefits.
  3. The fear of death comes when a resistance or "ego" interferes with a mystical experience. The ego comes in and says "if I go any further I'll die," but the ego was already dead untill it uttered those words. When the world reappears it let's out a sigh and says "that was close, I almost died." What is, is the glimpse. This is the big bang echoing. There is no death, only for the dream of being born.
  4. No thought or idea is ultimate. What is ultimate/absolute must by definition be what is already, unknowable because it is every object in appearance. There can be no real seperation from all there is. All realizations are what is, but revealed in them is not more what is than what is. The belief that an ultimate truth will ever be realized or achieved is a sign of the dream, it is a belief that you are seperate and that you need answers to become whole or to find home. All there is already is home, and it is appearing as this. It never moves and is simultaneously ever changing. It is not bliss, it is this. Reaaaally disappointing for the seeker, haha. People really can't hear that enlightenment isn't about them, somewhere there is an expectation in every seeker that some end or final state of endless happiness will come and fireworks will go off and they'll know for sure that they've made it. See how obvious it is that even you don't know what you are seeking, nothing you can come up with is satisfying forever, it is a dream based on false hope.
  5. I dislike that Tony Parsons, Jim Newman and the rest of the so called radical non dualists focuses on the individual even though it doesn't exist. The whole point in the message is that there is nothing here for the individual, but why all the talk about this non existent individual and what it does in it's illusory dream then? This seems to create more tension than it releases, it makes it seem like there is someone that needs to be gotten rid off when there isn't. When I hear a message from nothingness directed towards me as nothingness it seems to resonate more. It is more direct, less descriptive and more energetic. It doesn't even recognise an individual, it is source talking directly to source with an absolute trust that source hears source. It doesn't need to explain how the individual doesn't exist and how this can't be understood and what not, it just knows that intuitively already. What I've also noticed with Jim and Tony is that I'm sort of conditioned to reject or not listen to other messages from so called "teachers", because "they" teach personal teachings. Many of the teachers they say teach personal teachings are in my estimation not personal teachings though. The personal pronouns they use aren't directed towards a person but to the underlying essence that is the mystery of all appearances. Lil rant Lemme hear ur thoughts
  6. Just went through the emotional scale thing and I just gotta say, wow.. Thank you so much.
  7. @Nahm Yea, I know there is something there and that it is so so subtle. Lately I've just been dealing with very heavy intense energy that seem to get more contracted with the message. This is what I'm talking about. What is "it" and who is the "you" that it leaves empty handed? To me that sentence seems directed towards an individual, not God/nothing (whatever you want to call it.) It could be read as being directed towards nothing/God but that is just not what I feel. (Please don't get stuck on the words here, like "directed towards." - Be honest.) I'm not sure what you mean.
  8. @Raptorsin7 @zeroISinfinity oh yall are still playing the game of who's more woke? I stopped playing that game years ago. Guess that makes me more woke than you...
  9. No one is free from ego. The someone you think will be free of ego is ego. Enlightenment, freedom, liberation, awakening, are all a part of the dream. The need for answers is a part of the dream. That there is a dream is a part of the dream.
  10. All that we can understand is perspectives, "what is" is not a perspective.
  11. Yes it does. The crazy part is just a symptom of resistance, you can't stop it or do anything about it. Stop resisting resistance! But you can't, because you're resisting resitance by trying to stop resisting it. The "crazy" seeker experience is this loop trying to untangle itself from itself. The illusory self is the knot, the knot is trying to untangle the knot, the harder it tries the more entangled it gets in itself. Awakening is realizing that the knot is illusory, it is not actually there, so there is nothing that needs to be done for it to disappear. Trying to make it disappear gives it the illusion of something being there, that shouldn't. There is no answer on the other side of the illusion, there is no other side, this is it. It is not "known" what this is afterwards, that is the goal for "me" but that is what is ultimately so disappointing for it, because that goal is never fullfilled. Life is not known, life just is, TOTALLY unknowable. To the point where the concept of infinity has no more meaning than the word potatosalad.
  12. I guess a climactic happening in my life was when I crossed the point of no return. I didn't do it consciously, I wasn't in control. I just smoked a joint and died into infinity, my whole life was seen to be a dream of the infinite singularity/god, my human name and life was infinitely significant, it reverberated through eternity and I realized that everything in "my" life was perfectly designed and synchronized for me to have that realization then and there, and that my human life was Gods life. The point of no return is that you from this awakening no longer can believe the dream fully, you can get lost in what is happening but you can never believe in the commonly accepted human story anymore; that there is a real separate me with consciousness and matter outside of me. The juiciest insight that stuck with me is that this, what is happening right at this moment, is the infinite singularity/god/nothing appearing. These words are Gods words, there is no hierarchy, all is equally GOD.
  13. They want to escape existence, to exist is to suffer. This all arises from the experience of being seperate from everything. A person arises and goes on a search to find that which is before and beyond itself, what it can not see is that what is before and beyond itself is arising as a person looking for it. There is no seperation, not even in seperation.
  14. Good to hear ❤ I'm doing okay, thank you.
  15. Loosen up man, be vulnerable, go with the flow and stop analysing everything to see if it holds up to non dual dogma.
  16. Aren't those people only working under him while he is president? You could hate your boss and conspire with your colleagues to get him fired, it doesn't seem super implausible that many of Trumps own employees dislike him. Yea, I think we agree in many ways. The mishap I think is that you're already firmly placed in a fixed position (that there was no fraud) and I'm not, so recognizing that there might have been fraud is a total fairytale to you, where it for me is a possibility. I'm not just saying that it is a possibility because everything is possible, but from information I've gathered in my lifetime and watching alternative media I am open to this worldview being an actual thing. Can you please give me an example of this? If the people owning the clubs behind the scenes had whatever agenda, maybe for Arsenal to finish at 3rd place or for Arsenal to lose a game, do you think they would go tell the media that there was fraud behind the scenes? Do you think any of the people working at Arsenal would have this information other than the top people at the club, the players, the manager and owner? Do you think they would risk their own livelihood and have the possibility of getting humiliated on the news by coming out with these baseless claims without any evidence? Some would probably have the balls to do so and they would be humiliated by every Chelsea fan for doubting the fairness of the game, but most Arsenal fans would begin to be skeptical and some would listen to what these players risking everything had to say.
  17. Thinking that having flaws doesn't make me good enough.
  18. Number 1. The reason is that I haven't heard of, read about, thought of or seen pictures of any three headed lizard from planet Xenon creating the corona virus. The difference between the two options you gave on a scale of probability is a lot bigger than the difference there is on the subject matter at hand. I have heard of, read about, thought of and seen pictures of corruption in the government of the USA. Every idea is equal from a higher POV. Many people mistake their belief system for absolute truth, this is the essence of so much hate and misunderstanding. I'm not saying that you shouldn't believe in something, if you stay aware that what you believe isn't absolutely true then you won't take yourself so seriously, you'll be able to listen and understand where other people are coming from. I completely agree. I think your assumption and portrayal onto me is that I'm a conspiracy nut that is seeing through a binary lens. Extremely unlikely from a certain worldview and likely from another. You have evidence from direct experience that you are human or at least that there is a human body here and not a potato. All the knowledge you have about the election is second hand.
  19. I see your point and it is a good point. But, being open minded is not a state of certainty, it is a state of unknowing, a much clearer view but also very unclear. So yea open minded people might still be open minded to the idea that I am, but they'll also be open minded that I'm not. From this POV it is much easier to see things without bias, because you're not attached to any outcome. You definitely have done your research but all of your findings are colored by your belief system, you have a deep trust in the system where other people from their research have good reason not to trust it. I'm not against you, I find it very interesting to hear your perspective on this. It is a much nicer perspective to have than that of the "conspiracy theorist." I just gotta say, the label "conspiracy theory" clouds many peoples ability to think for themselves, they instantly discard whatever is being presented just by reading that label. It is good to do your own research before agreeing to that label. Many "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true. And btw. Someone saying you're something is not evidence that you are that. I can say that you are a potato, now there is evidence that you're a potato.
  20. Leo examined my point and reflected back on me what he percieved it to be. Then I used his metaphor to let him know where he misunderstood my point. Then he makes the decision to ignore it completely and focus on a slightly defensive comment I made afterwards. This signals to me that he has no intention having a constructive conversation, but rather to shut me up with a gut-punch because he never can admit that someone has a good point or because he simply can't see it. Yes and I can see the point about how this could compare to the election allegations, but there are other points that I've made where I've explained why it isn't the same form of allegation. One is empty based on nothing, the other has evidence and "somewhat" credible people. Keep in mind that I'm not saying it was fraudulent, I'm merely saying keep an open mind. But I guess the left has a lot of trust in the media based on what I've gathered, so if the media says it's not fraudulent then that is the one and only truth. My statement didn't solidify my position on politics, I made a comment based from an onlookers perspective who isn't hypnotised by the world of right vs left. If you have a strong stance on either side, then everything challenging your perspective will be labelled "in opposition to me" in your mind. You can't actually hear what I'm saying while you're under the trance of the political circus.
  21. That is not my point, it is the intention behind it that is slightly triggering to me, not the word itself. Everybody gets triggered, Leo does too and I actually think he was in this case because I insulted his baby (the forum) and called him a swear word (closed-minded).
  22. No. They try to prove me wrong by using my own example with an emotional trigger word. The thing is yes, be openminded that that is a possibility if someone (Trump and many others in the case of the election) who actually knows me makes that accusation. If not and it's just some conspiracy theorist that doesn't know me at all that have no real evidence to support that claim (Leo), then it's probably not true, then it's probably just some nutcase trying to stir up drama. This is where their logic stop making sense, they don't know me so their accusations are empty, but there are many people that know a lot more about the elections than we do that have said that it is fraudulent, that is why we need to have an openmind. They don't have a real argument against my point, that is why they resort to cheap manipulative tricks, using a trigger word with very negative connotations to trigger a defensive responds from me or to force me to change my stance or perspective. I'm not interested in having a childish fight over the Internet like that, that is why I'm pulling out of this if we are going to use these methods.
