  1. @Shweta bless up! Touche. We are each other's soul crew. Meeting up in here tanks to the interwebs! God bless all your souls.
  2. It’s not all in your head. It’s all in your heart. It’s all in your feet. It’s all in your hips. It’s all in your shoulders. It’s all in your breath. It’s all in your body. Anything unattended to, unresolved, unhealed, and unprocessed lives in your tissues, your cells, your musculature. It may be manifest in your stinking thinking, but it doesn’t begin there. The mind does not source itself—the body does. The trick is to not try to shift the thinking from within the mind itself. You can’t. You may be able to subdue it there, but you won’t be able to resolve it. Because the troubling thoughts are merely a symptom of the deeper issues. They are a reflection of our emotional holdings and constricted musculature. They emanate from the fleshy trauma tunnels that we dug in order to survive this world. Many of us sit in the waiting room of awakening for decades, waiting impatiently for our new birth. And it never arrives, because we are looking for it where it isn’t—within the mind, itself. Babies aren’t born that way. You have to go down into the depths of the body to bring a new birth to life. Down, down, down…. into the alchemical chambers of new thought—YOUR MAGNIFICENT BODY. This is where we are born again. ~JEFF BROWN
  3. each step, decision, thought, action in your life leads you to the current moment in space & time. if you were to pause your life right this second. all the rest of the circumstances, events, people, relationships all around you COMPLETE that jigsaw puzzle perfectly. each pieces is there because of a certain decision/action which was taken. if you moved forward one space, there was a backwards one space. if you took a step up, there was a movement down. your actions create ripples. which affect and spread the rest of the infinite puzzle. what you always end up with is 100% completion and perfection of the puzzle. no piece out of place. ever. it is always exactly what it must be for you to be where you currently are. there is nobody to blame or judge but yourself. you are in the situation you are because of all the steps you have taken with knowing or without knowing better. and this in-turn also means even you should not judge yourself. but totally accept and love yourself. make better informed decisions moving forward. learn from the past. and even then, know there is a never ending journey of learning. all actions of others were required to be EXACTLY what they were for you to be where-ever you are. if you are standing in one place, you can only do so because someone else is not occupying that particular space. all is connected. all is one. you are all and you are one. what's left then? only to have fun. play.

  11. @RickyBalboa we do that 24/7 you ability to "manifest" what you dream/desire/want is locked in with your current set of beliefs and "ability" if you want a glass of water you manifest it by walking to the kitchen and getting it. that's no different than having a dream about starting a business and then doing all the work to go and get it done. but you can radically shift this... when you become aware / start believing that reality is not made out of atoms and a fixed world out there in which you navigate as a body/mind... then things start to get wavy... THY WILL BE DONE
  12. It's so beautiful to realize that you are nobody and be able to sit in a chair and the whole universe is under your command. • You are no longer a puppet being manipulated by the strings of life. You have realized the phoniness, the nonsense of everything. Everything has become nonsensical and you just rest in peace. Usually the term "rest in peace" means you're dead. You are dead. You are dead to the body. It's funny how you give the right terms to the wrong situations. You actually do rest in peace and you are dead to the body. You have no desire to go anywhere, or to do anything, to live any one place. Yet remember also it does not mean that you're going to stay, necessarily, in one place. Whatever has to happen will happen. You may find yourself going to Japan or to Timbuktu, or anywhere, but it has nothing to do with you. You are at peace. You have a quiet mind. It doesn't function. The mind has become the Self. You are free. But yet to others it appears as if you're acting because you appear normal and go through experiences like everybody else. But you realize the truth. You're doing absolutely nothing. The observer may see you working, chopping wood, drinking wine, building houses, yet you're doing nothing. This sounds strange. It sounds like a contradiction, but it's not really. When you discover you are the Self, remember the Self is all-pervading. Absolute reality is omnipresence. Therefore everything is taking place within you. All the so-called actions of the universe are taking place within you because you are self-contained consciousness. That's why there's nothing you can really do, as self-contained consciousness, for you occupy every space, every atom, every universe, and you permeate what appears to be creation. There's nowhere for you to go because there's no room. There's nothing else. There's no space. Space is only for the body, the mind. But when you discover that you're pure awareness there is no space. You encompass all in all. This is the reason why there's nowhere to go and there's nothing to do. It´s like you're a gigantic screen that takes up the entire universe, it is the universe, that takes up all of space. Yet forms appear on the screen. The forms appear on the screen and there's a lot of space between them. The forms appear to be going places, doing things, working, being born and dying, but you are that eternal screen, unflinching, immovable, sat-chit-ananda, parabrahman, and the whole play of consciousness is taking place on the screen, all within yourself. There's no place for the screen to go because it already takes up all the space there is. The only movement there is, is in the images on the screen. But the screen itself has no room where to go, what to do. It just is as it is. That's the way it is. Your true nature is absolute reality, the screen. There's nothing you have to do when you understand that you are omnipresence. There's no room for karma, or for sins, or for anything else. The game is being played by the beings who are projected on the screen. They're going through karma because they have a lot of space. They can go through all kinds of things if there's space. They're going through different experiences of birth and death, of happy and sad, of healthy and sick, of poverty and riches. The images are going through these things. Then they die and they appear to be born again in different lives, and the game continues for ever. But you are consciousness, you are the screen, and you remain the same, always. There never was a time when you were different. There never will be a time when you change. Consciousness is consciousness. The Self is the Self. It has no manifestations, no attributes. It just is. That is your true nature. The question therefore is, "What have you been thinking about yourself? What do you believe you are?" And you can tell by the way you look at yourself, how you address yourself, what you imagine you are. Most people get up in the morning believing they're a body, and right away their mind is filled with their personal problems. They go through the day trying to solve problems, and thinking of ways they can enjoy themselves. There's no end to it. But for the self-realized being there's no one who sleeps, there's no one who wakes, there's no one who does anything and there's no one who does not do anything. There is absolutely nothing going on. Now can you see the truth about yourself? The more you fear, the more you worry, the more you fret, the more you desire, the more you think you've got to make the world turn the way you want it to turn, the greater the delusion and you're pulled deeper and deeper and deeper into the mire of delusion. It becomes difficult to awaken. {…} This is why it is written in all the great spiritual manuals - like auto manuals, they've got spiritual manuals - where it tells you that unless you are mature spiritually you can never really understand this. It looks like a bunch of ludicrous sayings. "I am the Self. I am consciousness. I am pure awareness. I am not the body. I am not the mind." It sounds totally ludicrous to the average person, for the collective unconscious is so strong. The collective unconscious is another name for maya. It appears to be strong and it pulls you in very deeply. The more you identify with it, the greater the pull. And you identify with it when you feel sorry for yourself, when you believe something is wrong with you, when you have wants and needs, when you're human. You do not want to be human. Simply because a human being goes through all the nonsense of the world. A human being has to experience all of the worldly conditions that all the other human beings experience. Therefore you do not want to be human. You want to be inhuman. You want people to tell you you're not human. When you can see that you're not human, that's when you'll begin to bloom, and you'll realize happiness you never knew before. Do not read the newspapers, or listen to the TV too much, or go along with all the news that's going on in the world. That's for human beings. Be yourself. You are selfcontained. If you have eternal happiness what in this world can give you something better than that? All you really have to do is to realize that you are eternal happiness. You cannot get eternal happiness from anything in the world, or from anyone. Eternal happiness is your true nature. You are that. You do not have to acquire it, or look for it, or find it, or beg for it or pray for it. Eternal happiness is what you really are. But that only comes when you let go of your morbidity, when you let go of all your nonsense, your fears, your foolishness, preconceived ideas, judgments. You have to empty yourself out. When you empty yourself out you become filled with consciousness. {…} Can you imagine yourself as nothing, where there's no God, and no universe, and no world, no people, no body, no mind? Sounds scary, doesn't it? But it's not. Robert Adams, T105: You Are No-Thing
  13. What is Agnosticism? Agnosticism is the portal to the awakening of Knowing that does not attach to any form. I don't know who I am, is what Buddhadharma said to Emporer Wu when he asked the Zen monk who he was."I don't know." This does not mean that in time I will know, this means that I'm fixed, and being unfixed undefined. So I cannot know who I am as something defined, something fixed. So in this context, I would say Agnosticism is Not Knowing, but not the knowledge that needs more evidence. Agnosticism in my context means being OK with the question: I don't know. This keeps the mind open to the breeze of wonder. Impermanence means everything is change, not things change. Things ARE change. You ARE change. You are a verb, but we function as nouns. The open question is a mind that does not fixate on form, which is death, because all things are dying. Remember, things don't change in time: things are change. Things are time. You are time. Time cannot die. The realization that you are Time, change, is Zen.
  14. 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
  15. 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!
  16. 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
  17. We are wrongly persisting in unreality, that is, attachment to thoughts and worldly activities. Cessation of these will reveal the truth. ~Sri Ramana Maharshi
  18. 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 _/\_
