If I am were just a thought or a belief I wouldn't be so convincing. But the illusion of being me is such a powerful bodily felt sense that separation feels utterly real for most human beings. The felt sense of being me is so convincing that most don't ever entertain the notion that "my truth, and my reality" might be an illusion. I didn't choose to question the reality of me .. I am knows better than to look at itself .. it has an idea of what might be seen. No, it's life .. it's this ... it's love that drags me kicking and screaming to my death .. ... and in the seeming annihilation of me, no one died, nothing is lost, nothing happened. There really is no one to recognize the absence of me. There really is no me who lived and died. How terribly wonderful is that. - T. Cliss -

Peace is simply the absence of the one looking for peace. If it's tasted, then on your seeming return you may say "Wow! .. what the fuck was that!?" .. .. and then set about trying to find it again. I know life's just not fair! -

Is it by taking a high jump or perhaps by a rocket or through a mental leap [that you want to 'reach reality']? And where exactly out there is this reality, and what will it do for you, that you are so anxious to reach it? Don't you realize how funny all this is? • Trying to capture the unknown and unknowable within the parameters of the known is impossible: That which was prior to this body and consciousness, that which is ever-present . . . that is your true identity . . . that is reality. • When the impersonal consciousness personalized itself by identification with the sentient object, thinking of it as 'I', the effect was to transform the 'I', which was essentially the subject, into an object. It is this objectivation of pure subjectivity, this false identifying of the unlimited with the limited, which can be called bondage. It is from this entity-fication that freedom is sought. Liberation, therefore, can be nothing other than the immediate understanding that self-identification is false . . . . . – freedom is the unshakeable knowledge of your real nature; it is the total negation of entityness. Once it is understood that an entity is merely a conceptual notion, then what follows is a reintegration into universality. Then you just watch life 'being lived', realizing that relatively speaking, you as manifestation are but a puppet being manipulated in a dream world. When you apperceive this intuitively, spontaneously, thoughtlessly, then this itself will be the awakening from this maya-dream. Having understood that there can never be any individual entity with independent choice of action, then how could 'you' entertain any intentions? And in the absence of intentions how could there be any involvement with karma? Then, you become perfectly aligned with whatever happens, accepting events without any feeling either of achievement or frustration. Such living would then be non-volitional living, an absence of doing and deliberate non-doing, going through your allotted span of life wanting nothing and avoiding nothing, free of conceptualizing and objectivation. Then, when this phenomenal life disappears in due course it leaves you in absolute presence. Nisargadatta Maharaj -

We are wrongly persisting in unreality, that is, attachment to thoughts and worldly activities. Cessation of these will reveal the truth. ~Sri Ramana Maharshi -

We dream that we are awake, we dream that we are asleep. The three states are only varieties of the dream state. Treating everything as a dream liberates. As long as you give reality to dreams, you are their slave. By imaging that you are born as so and so, you become a slave to the so-and-so. The essence of slavery is to imagine yourself to be a process, to have past and future, to have history. Nisargadatta Maharaj _/\_ -

" The very idea of going beyond the dream is illusory. Why going anywhere? Just realize that you are dreaming a dream you call the world, and stop looking for ways out. The dream is not your problem. Your problem is, that you like one part of your dream and not another. Love all or none of it and stop complaining. When you have seen the dream as a dream, you have done all that needs to be done." ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj ~ -

The joke is you keep coming back again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, having all sorts of experiences, until one century from now, or one billion years from now, you get tired of playing the game. And you say, "Wait a minute. I seem to be going around in a circle. Does it ever end?" And then you finally ask the question, "For whom is the game? Who believes in their humanity? Who believes in their experiences? Who is it that seems to suffer or who is it that seems to be happy?" Remember human happiness and human suffering are two sides of the same coin. There is no difference. You get tired of the whole thing. So you pose the question to yourself, "For whom is this karma? For whom is this world? For whom is this game? Who has to go through these things?" But instead of doing this most people go to psychiatrists, to psychologists, to preachers, to ministers and so forth. They never get the right answer, because those aforementioned people tell you how to deal with effects. You go to a doctor and you say, "My arm hurts when I hold it like this." So he says, "Don't hold it like that." And that's what we all do. We’re looking for answers from external means, and you can never get an answer to your problems or to anything from the world, because the world changes continuously. One time the answer may be this way and another time the answer may be that way, depending on circumstances, depending on the time. As an example, fifty years ago if you had a cold and you went to a doctor they would draw blood. They would give you all kinds of antibiotics and they would give you everything that was in style in those days. Today if you have a cold they do something else. Everything changes and people who are going to do what's in vogue at the time, but the real answer is within yourself. The solution is within you. Yet you go about it in the wrong way when you're looking to solve a problem with another problem, which is your mind. You cannot use your mind to solve a problem, because your mind is the cause of the problem to begin with. And you cannot ask anybody else for the solution, because they are using their mind to give you the solution what they think is right. The answer of course is to know your Self. {…} Simply ask, "Who am I?" Robert Adams, T42: The Fourth State Of Consciousness -

@wesyasz train yourself instead to belief in positive / feel good thoughts only and pass on the rest of the thoughts like bird chirps or zebra farts. -

This here is an amazing illustration! the compass points to what you want most in the world elizabeth loves william and wants to save him he's trapped with davy jones jack sparrow explains to elizabeth that the compass points to what you want most in the world she wants to save william jack explains that she can do this by 1st finding out where davy jones chest is and to go get it, thus drawing him out and negotiating william's release @ 2:07 in video "what you want most in this world is to find the chest of davy jones, is it not?" - jack "to save Will ! " - elizabeth "by finding the chest of davy jones" - jack and then they are shown the way WILL is her Apple. But the apple becomes davy jones chest to be able to get her ultimate desire - that's her path... the path she is creating to get to that. change your focus and direction as required. you will eventually get there -
Focus on the destination! Try to find means to the destination! Desire deeply what you actually want! Not the way you would get it! You must figure the way out, then walk it and end up at your destination! Focus simply on it, sharply! Don't desire for the seed when what you truly want is the apple! Desire the apple! ? Go get it! Walk the path to it and get it! What is your apple? Find your Apple!

As the unaware seed manifests into a tree; Same way unaware consciousness manifests into life. The seed consciousness contains all in it in utter unknowingness. As the seed again appears into the fruit; same way consciousness again appears into the Guru. It is spontaneous, effortless and natural phenomena. Guru is the fruit of life. This divine circle of experiences end into Guru. Peace as the substratum of all experiences remains. Guru as the seed of life is the unaware principle. It is this unaware principle which is manifesting as life without any dreams or imaginations. It is inherently as it is. No external or internal effort. Life as you witness it is the natural potential of the consciousness seed. This seed is the image of Awareness! Pure Spacelessness is the mirror in which this image is appearing. -

@Moreira there's no "how" Only by consious effort. By realizing that it puts you off course from your goal. Like someone trying to lose cake. There's no "how to not eat a cake every day... Or how not to drink coke?" There's only consious deliberate effort to not do that which moves you away from your goal. Won't initially be easy... No pain, no gain. You got this champ! And knowing what you really want helps to narrow your focus as well. -

@Mikael89 yes. The Mind is reads you because it's the same mind. You are creating the mind reading... Which is no different than your mind actually being read aswell. @Preety_India The Seed, or the Symbol of your actual desire should not be your focus. If your favorite singer is in town and you want to go to the concert, and find no means available to be able to go... What you must focus on or ask for is not the concert ticket. You don't want the concert ticket, it's just a piece of paper, you want the experience it will give you. Focus on that! That is your Apple! "Apple" being what you actually want. Nobody wants money. It's also just piece of paper, it's worthless! People want what it enables them to buy/experience! That should be object of focus... The experience or the thing desired... Not what enables that desire. In a crisis situation... Actually like in that movie Titanic, there's that scene where the guy throws money in the man's face who was bribeing him... It's just a piece of paper, and it's usefulness is only for what it enables you to get. A billion dollars wouldn't matter to anyone of us is it was being given to you on a sinking ship vs the same billion dollars in your current daily life will totally make you scream and crazy in joy! It's not the pieces of paper (seed/bridge) which will make you excited, it's what it enables you to buy/experience! Of course work must be done to be able to access the seed which will get you the apple. So figure out what you truly want What truly drives you Inspires you What you ACTUALLY want! Plant the seed, water it, care for it, but focus always on the fruit, not it's symbol/pathway.
