  1. Hahahaha From the place of confusion we tend to make contradictory decisions fosho
  2. Haha. There’s only one enlightened one and it’s I. Another way to think of things from the place of AWARENESS is there isn’t a this or that contradiction. There is only action. So some may think one will be to passive, or to active, but in actuality it’s just a harmony of both. Balance so to speak. Some people are go getters in different ways. Some people are very structured, some not so much. Either way one who is awake will live healthily.
  3. Unfortunately we start to late in exploring self-knowledge(SELF-KNOWLEDGE) as a society (as the whole). To me the sooner you SEE CLEARLY, the better. Also good to remember; not all people want to play the game the same way. Squares need circles, prickles need goo
  4. SELF UNDERSTANDING takes all one’s energy. If you are caught in a cycle of contradiction and are feeding off that contradiction, chances are you will continue wasting necessary energy to understanding yourself(SELF KNOWLEDGE). It’s obvious to say what ever is done out of confusion leads to more confusion. How we view ourselves/others/world determines the action we take. It seems common in society that such mental health problems influences what we do or do not do. Unless we see clearly, we are not able to make healthy decisions. And such action will be expressed in relationship. I mean look at “society”, isn’t it clear what has happened?
  5. It’s cool to die these days. It makes for a great story. What’s the fun in dying if there’s nobody left to tell the story.
  6. Knowing/Experiencing one indivisible whole (?)
  7. Many use the word GOD as just pointing to the not so obvious yet very obvious indivisible unchanging & changing whole (KNOWING/EXPERIENCING). God as in reality.
  8. What!!! Haha that never had an effect on me, it made things worse. I think it just strengthened psychological continuity.
  9. ‘Understanding’ arises between movement Understanding in essence arsies “from”, or better yet as THE SUBSTANCE (?).
  10. It depends on how it’s all approached. Some need to integrate or practice and such, and some don’t. To me INSIGHT into I AM was action itself or total. No integration that followed truth. There is an integration in regards to expressing the essence of BEING in daily life of course. Or in communication, creation, and so on. Not really a practice, but an expression of TRUTH. Your question cannot be answered by another my dude. YOU do YOU ?
  11. Out of source comes that insight/action. And whatever that happens to be will be an action born of intelligence(wholeness). There will be no question about what you should do. You can go at it from both angels. Try what winterknight suggests, which is self-knowledge, and you can also explore subject/object activity (also self-knowledge). I find that may bring about a way to step out of the stream of separating experience(duality). You shouldn’t have to go back to source, as if you ever left ?
  12. Just as KNOWING is of itself, so is your answer to this question. It’s all clear in or as truth.
  13. Many seem to have a problem discerning the I am’ness from subject/object activity. They seem to have to continuously reset back to source as if source wasn’t the underlying substance. Seems to have something to do with the mind and it’s mechanical tendency to divide “its” experience. To separate AWARENESS from what that awareness is aware of. As in divided the knowing of something. Where as the reality is of itself (‘KNOWING’)
  14. Subject/object activity will express itself in the form of being dissatisfied with the silence and wanting more(psychological time).
  15. how to react to people who shout at us? We can use such experiences to explore our reactions to the other persons words/physical reaction. Observe yourself in relationship in that experience. Observe how we interpret the experience in regards to our own self image. How we react to our resistance in relationship to that interaction. How the thought brings upon the emotion, feeling, and bodily sensations in association to that interaction and so on.
  16. In this case.. Insight = innaction which is holistic action. Without insight we respond according to our memory (accumulated subject/objects experiences). In this case reaction is never spontaneous. Reaction has it s root in thought(subject/object) response, which is always tethered by the past(time). So inherently the response is limited to that of the old. Which means it’s a continuation of what has already been, therefore mechanical conditioned pattern triggered by external stimulus. It’s a response with its root in habit registration/recollection which is then projected on to the present as another subject/object experience—duality). In this case experience itself is the enemy. Thought can never anticipate the new and act spontaneously (holistically/intelligently) when being limited by that of the old(thought). Pretty important thread. Especially with all us assholes around here heh?
