"I don't want learning, or dignity, or respectability. I want this music, and this dawn, and the warmth of your cheek against mine." Rumi

Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. The entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you. Rumi

@Someone here To have sickness there should be reality inside which it manifests. That reality is never disturbed. And that reality is the only reality, your true nature.

Not implying that you have the same situation... perhaps, it may bring some clarity: • not going into details... one person was really angry on me, shouting and tried to threaten... I kept label "perhaps, she is mentally ill" for a long time... until 10 days Vipassana retreat... there was insight... anyway I just called that person and genuinely apologized for the past moments, we talked calmly... that was such a relief • another story... I was blaming one person over and over again... until 5-MeO breakthrough after crying a little bit... it was clear that blaming doesn't make sense at all... such a relief At some point, it may be the case that to be at peace is going to be the priority number one (so to speak). So, anything that happens in dream (so to speak) won't have much of importance compare to peace. So, you forgive everything for the sake of seeing the peace, that is here & now. Doesn't mean someone should tolerate abusive behavior, on the contrary.

"be happy" seems to be overloaded, "at peace" is a better pointer imho

@Mason Riggle exactly

"The truth will set you free"

Well said ? "There is no peace of mind, there is peace or mind" Osho

This is great! Keep trusting yourself. Thanks for sharing.

This is how a human being can change. There is a worm addicted to eating grape leaves. Suddenly, he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something wakes him, and he is no longer a worm. He is the entire vineyard, and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that does not need to devour. Rumi

No, it is godliness.

@Gianna ? It's a gradual process. Daily meditation may help. If there were only one pointer it would be: "Love whatever arises".

@Gianna 'Selfless' means living as a whole, as One. But not through 'thinking' how to behave as One. It is through 'feeling'. By collapsing any apparent separation (duality), by relaxation, by loving, by allowing, by undoing.

If you want what visible reality can give, you're an employee. If you want the unseen world, you're not living your truth. Both wishes are foolish, but you'll be forgiven for forgetting that what you really want is love's confusing joy. Rumi An illusion doesn't mean it does not exist. An illusion means it's not what you think it is. Investigate the direct experience, what it is. Meditate by focusing on the deep breath for example. Then, the question about interest in dreaming falls away, since there is no more apparent separate entity that can have it or not. You are pure Interest, dreamer dreaming dream.

Too much wording about @Loba, guys do your own inner work first. Thread locked.

@Hen Zuhe ?

@BlackMaze thanks ☺️

So, why do you follow Dr. David Hawkins studies then? 'Unconditional non-duality love' don't put any levels on itself, the gradation strengthens the belief in separation. 'Unconditional non-duality love' sees everything as One. I appreciate Dr. David Hawkins work, the "Letting go" book is amazing. If you really don't want to be duped, don't take any teachings too seriously, find your own way. 'Living' guides you through the feeling all the time.

@benjhenry Yes, much appreciated Leo to start the forum. What I can add except a little of Rumi: This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Giving, expressing, creating.

Fear is an illusion, Love alone is real:
