You can love NOW. And breathe. That's all you can do. There is no need for hunting down your "ego". Just let thoughts go. And when they do arise, love them, don't resist them, acknowledge them as they are (NOT YOURS) and let them fly by. In a way, you have to ignore the shit out of them. But still love them. This is how the "ego" dies, slowly.

@Hellspeed @ground So Ivan will never be able to bend the spoon, ay? He is not meant to do so. IVAN MUST BE DESTROYED

How does the spoon bend if there is no spoon? Why does the spoon appear to be solid, when it's clearly not? Where does it begin and where does it end? Where are it's limitations? How does it appear to be? How does the spoon bend?! What makes it seem solid? Concept? Belief? Anyone experimenting with this? Any results?

Everything is possible and nothing is. The only thing that's woowoo is the thought of youyou. Don't forget to laugh and love. Thoughts might go crazy and take your breath.

@Mezanti The mind is supposed to be fucked. Hard. With Love. Embrace contradictions, they are key and unimportant. "Enlightenment" is the ultimate paradox. And it's yummy.

You would not be you. You would be everything and nothing simultaneously. In fact, you never even were you, ever. You just thought you were.

Why do you assume the master would crap his pants? How can you know? What if he would actually smile? What if the lion is the master? Thoughts cannot be enlightened. Nothing can change in actuality. "You" would still eat, sleep, have sex, or whatever the heck. There just would not be a thought of "you" doing anything. This might be horrifying or Godlike. One cannot avoid one's purpose. Love and passion are present regardless of thoughts.

@ground Been trying, not bending yet. Confused about what and where exactly should bend. Is the belief that there is a spoon preventing the bend?

Both are necessary or else the story would not be the story. One has to be open so One can destroy. Loving your message.

One could spend lifetimes proving or disproving enlightenment exists. There is no such a thing. That is what it isn't. One has to know one does not know at all, with certainty.

The smartphone is just a distraction. It is also you and necessary. You are trying to "distract" yourself from yourself. Try loving the distraction, it may make the distraction disappear sooner than you think and your work will carry on smoothly. The "issue" is on the mental plane. That is why it cannot be solved from there. Love is the answer, trust me. Or don't. Just love even deeper Once you accept it all, you become actually free to choose what and when to do. Also, this might not be true at all. Just trying to help

Your life IS the reward. You love grinding and doing what you do, don't you? You are passionate about it, aren't you? You also have all the time in the world to actualize your intentions, don't you? Does it matter then what comes first and what second? It is all about what you are already doing anyways. Don't judge yourself for not doing things when you think they should be done. Love your story

Why do you think you have very little practical, real world application? Why do you think you are not open minded enough? Logic is not logical, actually.

You hate it cuz you ain't it. You must go through. The spiral IS you.

Knock knock. -Who is it? It is You. -You Who? You Whoisdeluded.

A thought chasing enlightenment. Enlightenment says: You can't catch me. Thought becomes spiritual.

Two polarities hanging out. One says: We're in a bar. The other one says: There is no bar. Nothing happens.

How does the giggle occur? This might be fun.

Yesterday I was reminded that I am home and that I was home all along. Love is omnipresent. I am Love, Love I am. Today, I am new. And this brings up new questions and wonder. Can anyone satisfy my curiosity? I've been contemplating like mad for the past couple of days. This forum is so helpful, I love it. So. Questions. Is the "ego" the direct "Opposite" to The One? Does it only appear to it this way, because it believed it was excluded, rather than included this whole "time"? Is the "ego's" biggest fear being excluded and facing the fact, that it only deluded itself into believing it was ever excluded? Does the "ego" resist inclusion while simultaneously desires to be included? Is this what creates the paradox? Is this the loop? When and where did I separate myself? Am I doing it now? Does this paradox directly give birth to the 3 dimensional reality, that appears to be? Is the "time" that passes before my finger touches the wall merely a "lag effect"? Is there nothing between me and the wall, in actuality? Where exactly does the touch occur? Is everything right in my face?! Is everything somehow glued directly onto me? Onto Nothing? Why does the Whole appear to be somewhat hollow? Does this seize to appear so after the One is correctly actualized? How can I fully recognize the ongoing coding/decoding and catch up with it? How does One make the cat move while remaining still, doing nothing? How does One keep moving the cat around the apartment? Is the cat moving the One or is it appearing within IT? Is reality as it is known some sort of a glitch? How can I be and not be at the same time? Is reality the field between two magnets, that are somehow One in actuality? Is this the definition of The ultimate Miracle and should it be left as it is and simply be admired? How can the "ego" feel included and stay home? I'd love to clarify these. There is a desire to close the open endings. Is that a "no-no"? Should they be left as they are? Is any assistance possible? Thank you.

The Truth is the Lie. There certainly is no One, and there definitely is. The Truth is insignificant and all-important. Everything IS even if the One isn't. One is here now. Luv you @Nahm

@Nahm Is there a source of the light that shines over nothing? Is this how One is? Contemplation is fun. And somewhat scary. Which makes it even more fun. The mind is still distorted though. Will zoom out, thank you.

@Nahm That...Was...Intense...And...Extremely...Precise. Please be more gentle with me, haha. I needed to take a short walk to catch my breath. I noticed the subject starting to become an object. Everything got super synchronized. There is more fear. I guess I am not ready just yet, I want to take one step at a time. My cellular memory was not happy about this (if there is such a thing). I desperately needed to distract myself immediately... I'll keep on reading through your answers day after day until I slowly merge with them. Thank you so much. @ground Reading this, after the walk, grounded me a lot. Thank you. @Strikr Thank you for your wisdom. I proved a lot to myself here, with your help. The question of free will is precisely that. A question. Love you all so much. No further questions.

How do you play the game after realizing and fully integrating the fact that you are playing a game? Do you dedicate yourself to waking "others" up and triggering them into their version of the same realization? Or is this attempt paradoxical and/or even impossible to achieve? Is it a "waste of time"? Do you keep on expressing the Self and planting seeds for everyone? Or do you simply allow the unfolding? Do you play the game while intentionally not breaking character or do you try exposing the fact that everyone is a character within the game? Is there a point after the point? Should you become even more self-oriented after this realization or open up yourself for service to "others" and serve only? Should you just simply be? Or should you be a conscious co-creator? How do you play the game? I am honestly curious.

What if playing the game is my highest desire? What if I choose to be involved in the "storm"? What if I choose to keep my one eye closed? Can I harm myself or postpone my evolution in any way by choosing to do so? Am I allowed to do so? Is there even anyone who can allow or disallow me to do so? Am I asking anything that makes sense? Should I stop asking? Should I be playing? Is wanting to experiment, have fun and express against anything? Is wanting to feel and be involved a bad thing? Thank you for your clarifications

How can I practice not forgetting that I am the calm appreciating the storm? How can I be the unconditional love allowing the expression to unfold?Will everything unfold on its own or do I need to participate? Why am I afraid of not having everything explained and put in right place before fully letting go? I know I seize to exist once I seize to think. But I am not powerful enough to "resist" the urge to eventually return to thinking and call my thoughts my own. Who will do "the work" if I let go? Nobody? Where do I create everything from? Only here and now? Do I create at all? Or is there meant to be observance and allowing only?
