That's fine you won't fully let go if you don't want to. So don't stress about it. Enjoy the dream. The mind tends to run but that is why sometimes not knowing is better..in other words quiet the mind down and just enjoy this reality. One only awakens when one is ready.

if he has nothing to hide then there is no reason to be up in arms.. I agree with @DocWatts this is perfectly fine for the FBI to do. Raidsa are conducted all of the time - its just that becuase its Trump the republicans are up in arms.

@no_name if you were to completely deconstruct your mind and ego you would awaken as God. The ego is very solidly put together though, like hard clay - in order to keep you surviving. It is a complex web. But you can also do it just by realizing you aren't the ego, (that the ego is just an idea) which can be done by self inquiry. You don't have to deconstruct if you just realize what you actually are. So this is kinda what @Carl-Richard said. As far as being reborn none of us have ever directly experienced that or rather we don't remember our last incarnation...otherwise we wouldn't be talking to you as our current incarnation. We would be another incarnation with no memory of the previous ones. Now if you could somehow forget your ego completely (awakening) and had a new ego injected then yes you could, even if you were in the same body it would be like you were reborn as a different person or ego. Everything is Mind.

Haha. Maybe I shall. How is retirement treating you? Love you too bud.

Appearances aren't always what they seem.

He is a classic example of one who has adopted these teachings as a belief. Namely the neo-advaita teachings.

Happiness is found within. It is in your Being. You do not find happiness externally. However, the ego does not grasp this. It seeks happiness outside of itself and seeks to fulfill itself with something external that it feels it needs.

But what as a human is true happiness?

Indeed.

Banned. We are here to question reality with intelligence not mock it with ignorance.

He is completely lost.

The unnamed are the highest masters because they do not seek anything. So you can't even call them Masters.

There are many masters that remain unnamed.

Stop with the low quality posts and rambling. Make your posts of quality or you will be kicked out of here.

In reality no difference. You are imagining the difference between 2D and 3D.

Everything is imagination.

Enlightenment is mystical. You will know.

He's correct here. There are levels of consciousness. At the lowest level is the waking dream- in which you are a selfish bastard hung up on survival and "manifesting" things into existence.

@Michael Jackson great stuff as always

You got it bud But it's not that's its how it seems for mosr people... I'm telling you there is Absolutely no difference between appearance and reality. Absolutely so. Also you will find that ultimately all differences collapse - not just the difference between reality and imaginary

Precisely. Appearance IS reality.

@UpperMaster there is both free will and no free will as the ego. It's tricky There is the appearance of free will that the ego has - and note that appearance IS reality. Thus there is free will. Because all you need is appearance- you dont need a layer below that. Yet on the larger scale it is actually Your Will as God that is in play. You are willing everything to happen precisely as it is meant to on a level that you do not allow the ego to see.

I think one is the sharpest first thing in the morning. For me that's when insights come..even when I'm still I'm bed. You can figure stuff out instantly that maybe you had been struggling with for weeks and it will just come to you. Paradoxically this is also the best time for no mind meditation as well.

@SOUL where ya been hiding?

Your level of consciousness has been limited to that of a finite human so that you can experience the dream as a limited player. Otherwise it would lose its realness and then wouldn't be reality. Awakening will allow you to cut through and see this because your level of Consciousness will expand to Infinite levels. However if your ego still has attachments to the dream and to survival then you as God know you aren't ready for full on God Mode because you are still selfish. If you weren't selfish you would be dead and Infinite Love and selflessness. You would not be concerned with selfish desires such as putting a million in your account. Your higher self knows what's best for you. Even if you don't.
