I will tell that to my boss next time I’m late 😋

It just happened. Sadly there’s not a formula but meditation, praying, asking, searching, investigating your own experience, self inquiry etc can help. Some use psychedelics to have an experience but you need ground work because the truth is too strong or harsh for us to accept it.

If you pay attention you will notice that even in his last days before crucifixion not even his disciples understood what he was talking about

Exactly 😊

This can quickly backfire 😊

Got you 😊 it’s like “don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow”

It's Ok... I had a direct experience of that. But you have to find out by yourself, I agree....

You are talking about the life of the characters in the movie of Life. You think that when your body "dies" (the body doesn't die in reality, it gets transformed and it goes back to earth to continue being a living part of the universe) so you won't be there because you are "dead". Well, you are life. Life is everywhere and is infinity and it never ends. Life = Consciousness Life doesn't stop and it will never stop.

What is alive is alive because it just "is"... it was always like that. Not need to earn anything. The way you say it sounds like life has a beginning, so you have to earn it to have it... but the thing is life is eternal. There's no time, nothing it just always existed so it doesn't need to earn anything to be what it already is.

Now this saying of Jesus makes more sense to me. Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who so much as looks at a woman with evil desire for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

@Razard86 Thanks Razza for your comment again. Agree with what you say regarding free will. It is something that I have always sensed but it is difficult for us to accept, but ultimately everything that happens is by the will of God. Not from the will of an ego that believes itself to be God hehehe... This text that you posted helps me refresh concepts, we "human beings" tend to forget what we learned, and fill those forgotten spaces with biases and as you well say with dishonesty to make us feel better. So is always good to refresh those ideas continually and keep that ego under control. :-)

I need to read that page 34 😋

You cannot discern because that thing you want to understand goes beyond your comprehension. That’s how the delusion gets created and the world gets created too. Because you are that thing you are looking for. And you because you are one thing you cannot experience yourself. You need to create ideas that you are separated. There’s objects etc others persons, that you were born etc etc You will never discern or understand with the mind or logic. It only can be revealed by an epiphany or some experience that will give you a glimpse of what you are. You are what you are looking for.

We are all one so it’s ok hahaha What is teaching to itself 😊

If you are really James, thanks, I have your book The Essence of Enlightenment. Now that I see I have to read it again. I also watched your videos in YouTube. Thanks for your teachings.

Thanks for this Razard.

I think the idea that we have free will is illusory. We feel like we choose. But suppose you were born in the same situation, parents, family, influences everything the same as hitler. Do you think you would act differently?

Nice thanks @Bazooka Jesus & thanks to @Water by the River also for the pointers

Exactly.

That’s what is taught in the “churches” Even though some teach we have to be like him but no one believes that. At least from what I learned being there. But I agree with you.

The “I am” is existence, basically God. I am means I exist. It’s not a self. (But everything I say it’s just words trying to explain what can’t be said explained.) So there’s a big I am that is God and inside this I am, you can find the little egos that also think they are and have existence separated from the big I am. There’s no me or self means those little I am really don’t exist, they are just manifestations of the big One. God, I am or whatever you wanna call it.

Matthew 43 - 48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Thanks for sharing. Awesome experience :-)

For my those are concepts. We create the duality. If there was no duality we wouldn't be talking about nothing and everything. We can know there's nothing because we know everything. But the reality is oneness... everything has nothing included. I know, words suck to explain Lol...

Consciousness is always there, even in deep sleep. I agree.
