Thank you so much I am going to try it with a clock. Yes, when I become what I observe I splice with the observation and there is nobody there to register time.

Stimulus based on desire, regular thought won't produce any action, and might stay latent. Otherwise every thought would lead to manifestation, this in turn, would be a disaster. everything is made out of consciousness----it is literally consciousness, remove the word "made". There is no fine line, everything is absolutely an appearance within consciousness, which is in turn consciousness. White piece of paper with bunch of printed letters on it, are letters made out of paper? Or are they a paper with blank ink on it? So black ink is a appearance created for a purpose there, to separate and make sense.

Not when you realize that the other is literally you. Would you want to do any harm (emotional gaming I mean, not physical) to another? They are literally You. All you can do is just to love them unconditionally. Game comes from mind. Connection comes from heart. If you realize that there is no you, nor other. What is the point to play? No one can hurt you, because there is no one there to be hurt. Everything happens naturally. Suffering ends when you realize the irony that every connection hinges upon illusory nature of this “I”. but for many people it is better to suffer and pursue the illusion rather than to let go and become undifferentiated awareness. I am struggle with this too. Illusion feels so charming that you want to drown in the silhouettes of others just to never lose the ground. BTW: the other was created precisely to keep this “i” in the illusion. As long as we believe in others, we believe in existence of this separate “I”.

I disagree, been there, done that. not all people can trigger you. There should be an element of a soulmate connection where you recognize yourself in another being. There has to be this attraction where you have a lot in common. Otherwise connection will be just “pale”.

Of course, people love when you listen to them attentively, actually listening but not wait your turn to say something meaningful that might inflate your ego.

Today I came to the conclusion that I can (I don’t know yet how) influence the flow of my subjective time.

Absolutely, so this is what freaked me out. I looked back and retrospected about past events and it seems like a week was one day. However, when I began to notice it, as an observer, for magical reason time slowed down: double slit experiment ?

I remember I was crying in my crib. However, this was a traumatic experience due to abandonment. Again, I realize that this event has never happened and is fiction of the ego-mind that happens right here and right now. But the illusion that event happened when I was little is somewhat persuasive. I get what you are saying, as I clearly see that the time is a mental construct. It is easy to see now how appearances (of anything) juxtapose themselves creating the illusion of a motion.

Not necessarily.

@axiom yeah, because both are fictions

I freaked out a little bit because I had an experience where time went super-fast. Ego freaked out a little bit due the fact that I will approach inevitable end sooner that I expected. Also, yes, something happened to my short-term memory, I cannot remember things at all. How can I if I do not think of them. Friends ask me things to bring or for example doctor's appointment...if I haven't set up the alarm, it will evaporate from my mind. About four weeks ago it took me some time to remember the season we are in, just in a split of the second I could not recollect. I was holding an apple in the grocery store, and my awareness was sucked in so much but I was in a heighten state. It felt that life slowed down. I hope it will restructure , there is a desire to be in this state all the time, but no...naive "little" me, ego had a backlash again. Man, I did not realize I am so attached to my identity, "I" literally does not want to let itself go'. And the mind lurks in all the time by engaging into a new things. Now I completely understand how difficult it is to achieve permanent enlightenment. It is a road in a length of life. Mind creates projections/mirrors and plays with them to not disappear. I want to write a new post about it. Because intuitively, I know that the Higher truth will take up. Ego will surrender eventually and it is just a matter of time.

yes, space and something that "holds" this space.

Time is a mental construct of the ego-mind. Time only arises when there is an identity to whom this time exists. I have noticed that when "I shifts" toward impersonal perception, times slows down vs when "I" focuses on the identity. Similar to undifferentiated attention that flows freely and does not stick on objects and things. Rather it becomes what it "sees" ( do you understand what I am talking about @Someone here? ) I am sorry if it is a bit convoluted. I've described it in my " Collapse of dualities" post. Have you ever become it, when you are looking at something/someone and the feeling of this dense "I" disappears? Inner and outer collapses into One experience which does not have any cognition of self. Einstein proved that time is relative in his Theory of relativity, time depends upon your vantage point, and so there is no single absolute time. Therefore, it is highly relative and hinges upon itself. It is highly subjective and therefore! it is an illusion. Let's even drop science....what is time truly? Memory that is created by the liner perception and sequencies of events. But everything that has ever happened unfolds right now in your field of awareness, do you agree with me? Time is a quality of consciousness so it can self reflect upon itself and create the illusion of physical reality. When people refer to the prove aka from the past like pics and things, they do not understand that illusion of physical reality unfolds as they go creating their past pictures and notions of the past events in their minds. Simple answer hides with the non-dual, non-liner perception. Have you ever noticed that the nature of Consciousness is "to become what it creates" Why do we even say non-dual? Because there is only One thing that can exist at a time, even though there are many appearances that "pretend" to happen simultaneously, but one is always being held within the conscious experience. Very simple to check, try to concentrate on many things at a time and see. There is always one primal perception and "other things" that happen on the background of it. That is the quality of mind to put tag on something it fails to comprehend. We do not have a direct experience of it, it is just a theory that does not hold any ground. Just bunch of symbols, do you agree with me? And yes, so true, because there is nobody there to be aware of it. The biggest joke of Lila. Bury the "character" and they will take "time" with them into the "grave". Sommie, you made a great point. Thanks for putting some time to explain things. But you have not answered my question from the relative standpoint. I was just curious how people perceive the flow of time when experience the impersonal awareness. Does it slow down or get faster for you? I agree with everything you say, but on the personal level, what has changed for "you" with awakening in terms of time flow. Thank you....

@thenondualtankie it depends. If you truly want to master one thing, 80% of your you should be focused on that thing. I would say no more than two aspects.

@Bob Seeker Live by spontaneity not intention! Don’t force to open your self up. Open yourself up as you go with relationships. The right time will come and you will say the right things. Everything will unfold naturally because there is no doer here who will orchestrate things to happen. Go by your feelings. Relax. If you feel that saying or doing something doesn’t resonate, then take some time to know the person. Be your authentic self and you will attract people who are also authentic. Remember what person thinks about you does NOT characterize you, it characters them! A movie character doesn’t need any validation from others because both are just fictions. Be who you truly are!

Cognition is the biggest obstacle to Enlightenment. Atman is not a realization, it cannot be achieved, it’s always present, however, it is hidden! The reason you cannot become IT because your thoughts are superimposed on the Being (Amness/Atman) which in terms creates the illusion of ego, false knowledge of your true nature. “I am…” is the thought, root of all suffering and all the falsehood is dancing around this cognition, and enforced by it, by I AM something. Guys, I want to share with you step by step practice that helped to recognize impersonal awareness. Disclaimer: there is no doer in this process, there is no “I”, “me”, blah blah blah. Using these nouns to help others, no more, no less. Step one: Observer and observation: notice the thoughts and notice something/someone who observes them. This is your mind creating the split between the observation and the observer. Step two: Observer and the Void! State of mind where it masquerades itself under the guise of void. No thoughts state is still your mind’s games. One is creating the state of silence, another is watching that silence (both of them are your mind) . Still two! Notice it. Background. Space. The absence of any thoughts is still…..a subtle game. Still separation because one is noticing and the other is thinking, even this void, no thoughts is still a separation, meditative space in your mind is still a separation, because there is a cognition that meditations occur to someone, void occurs to someone, in this case minds pretends its void, it can even pretend to be quiet and non-talkative, but notice mind is still there, so funny. Still two. You and another you which still thinks there is no mind, aka some progress hahahah. I was stuck in this phase years and years. Step three: total collapse of the cognition, final surrender. In this state of Being, you won’t be able to recognize any void, any space, any observer with the observable. You become literally Reality itself. There won’t be any inner/outer separation. You look at the chair, you become a chair and observation of it, nut now you are aware and one. Observer is not there any longer. If there is still a notion/cognition or any separation, you haven’t got it. If any thoughts that follow/above/beyond this cognition is still a mind. If you are fully present, in the state of Being, if you become what you see, literally, you won’t be able to register “I” on top of the experience. There won’t be any room for the observer and the observation. It is nothingness! Awareness which is not aware of Itself! You won’t be able to register or observe any experience. You won’t have any cognition. But you will exist as an experience. How cool is that? The only way you will be able to register it, understand, cognize is a post factum, in the retrospection. But not when you are it! Because pure consciousness can only become either one, no two! It will be either the non-cognitive experience, or the thought ( I am the observer of the experience). Two different states of Being. You real face is in the absence of any image, experience, cognition. Just a pure non-dual awareness!

@Fernanda I absolutely recommend reading this. This book made me cry, so poetic, sensual and touchy about ying and yung energies.

@Preety_India it is a state of being, deciding is a mind! You ain’t gonna miss you, don’t worry. would you miss something like a fall from the Eiffel Tower?

@tuckerwphotography yes, but he speaks Russian. https://youtu.be/vETq3Fnj0J0

It seems like not a big deal, but when woman shifts her polarity from Omega to Alfa spectrum, she then in the future will be doing it all the time. This is not a good idea for sexuality and relationships. Otherwise you will be making first move all the time and resolve all your couple issues.

Hi there ?, I wouldn’t rush. Actually you are in the sweetest spot right now, I am jelly…because when both people like each other and love is in the air, but they still feel a bit awkward to kiss or hug. Oh me, this is the best time for poems and daydreaming under the moon. ❤️❤️❤️ Enjoy this state as much as you can, it will only last for a while and as soon as you get intimate with him, this feeling of anticipation will evaporate. Secret becomes known. this is a wonderful time for making yourself even more attractive for your man. Go get some nice lingerie and romantic dress to send your man this feminine energy. It will make you feel confident. this is the time to enhance your feminine nature. He will feel it through your body. With time he will make a move. I wouldn’t do it for one reason: have balance in your energies. Let the man do his job, trust him that he knows what is the best time. He will lead you. i don’t think it is a feminine prerogative to make first moves. stay in your omega polarity and make him feel important. By allowing him to make a first move, you will make him feel important. Otherwise you will take initiative in your hands and the flow of energies will be disrupted between two of you. Beautify yourself, be romantic and soft. A bit naive, a bit mysterious. He will do his job. I strongly don’t recommend to change your polarity and becoming Alfa to chase him, won’t be good even if you have a future relationship.

I do apologize for my language, I feel it is a bit deceitful to my reader. Awareness cannot become Itself, it is already Self. I meant to say: While you are holding on to the context of a certain story, Awareness can not see Itself. But again, please do not be too hard on this statement. I am trying to point that in order to see your true nature, you need to remove all the concepts and notions. Remove your thinking capacity. Very often, you can notice it after your awakening in the morning; you need this split of a second to remember yourself. Have you ever noticed it? Tomorrow when you wake up, try to be aware of this process, Matt won't be there immediately, you will need a bit of volition to remember who and where you are. So that blank state is what you are prior to remembering: "Oh, I am me, I am in my bed, in my house!" Notice this. Also, you can notice it on the border line of sleep, just right before loosing consciousness and falling asleep. Usually, you become this screen that registers reality, and thoughts are like running сredits after the movie is over. That space is what it is, you can notice it. It is not an understanding. Consciousness contains all possible qualities, but God itself is not any of them. Okay imagine this: an empty space. Then imagine something in that space. Dot! So, Consciousness is that space that allows a dot to be. If Consciousness would have any quality, it could not contain what it holds. It would become automatically an object/quality. But what is it that allows everything to be? It is like an air. But again, even space and air is a bad analogy. I am just using it to explain Nothingness. User friendly example. How have I arrived to this understanding? I do not remember. In all honestly, I do not remember when I became aware of awareness, of this "space" which is not me. It was a very gradual process for me. Eventually, you will notice it, do not be too hard on yourself, just keep up with the work and it will unfold naturally. The best practice is to put your attention on attention itself. Attention on everything: thought, feeling and perception. After a while, you will notice that space I am talking about it.

Hard to say what is the proper definition. Everyone's mind has its own associative capacity.

Sorry I did not mean to devalue your experience. I was trying to explain you what lies behind the I AMness. You asked me what I called this True Self...but it does not have any qualities. This I AM is a psychically objectified living system, we can not deny it. It recognizes itself through I am. However, in this I AMness, there is always a need to define itself as “I am someone”. Immediately creating the history about Itself. This is very important to recognize. This Amness is our true being and it does not hold any qualities, therefore I said it is nothingness, because "something" is a quality. As soon as we define it, our mind is being hooked. This is a form of a mind game: categorization. While you are holding on to the context of a certain story, awareness is not capable to become itself. It is truly nothingness that allows everything! That is what I meant. Again, I am sorry if it sounded nihilistic. Good quote came into my mind: "When you are left alone with yourself, look at both"
