Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on, and on, and on ☺️ Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' ♥️

Read your own post. Imagine it's written by some well-known author. So, this is the post about a person who is suffering, let's give it a label - 'I' or 'me'. For lessing suffering you have to investigate the nature of 'I' in your direct experience. How? Watch some non-dual teachers on YT, Abraham Hicks, read Nahm's ? posts on the forum, etc... that's from a theory part of things. From practice side of things - start meditating daily again, as a first thing in the morning, bumping duration to 1 hour over time. Personally, I recommend a sitting meditation, focusing on a slow deep breath. Good luck ??

Look at the sky... does the sky believe in free will or absence of it? Be like the sky. For that investigate the direct experience, find the source of self-referential thinking. These are all very good&solid points ???You are definitely going in the right direction with this:??? - loving what arises, being gentle and more loving with myself whatever happens. - learning to let go more & more - stopping overthinking (should, if, could, regrets...) - enjoying whatever arises, living in joy, cultivating gratitude...

0. There is free will. 1. Everything is just happening. 2. There is free will & everything is just happening are just thinking. Find the source of thinking a.k.a. "who am I?" ?

@Godishere you worded it perfectly imo.

How do you feel my friend? Let go all of this spiritual nonsense about achieving the highest something, manipulating love, etc... just go walk in nature for example, deep breath, it's all good. ☺️??

@Godishere ? Yes, the question "where is the infinite" arises due to believing that you are finite. here = you = 'imagining' = infinity = finite lens

"Infinity vs finite" is a thinking that appears thanks to existence itself, isn't it? There is no such thing as finite. Finite is infinite. Find the source of thinking.

"out of pure love", "the worst conditions" are conditions - consciousness is unconditional.

Hehe ??

Meditation practice is supposed to help you to notice that life is a magic & you are the trippin' balls all the time.

Liberation from liberation :]

@Vynce Try to meditate right after waking up in the morning - when there is less thought activity. What's the duration of the meditation practice? I'd aim for 1 hour daily. Meditation is about dropping expectations - don't expect the miracle - miracle is right here.

@Sonny Imagine ONE screen plays infinite amount of movies simultaneously...say, one movie shows the scenery with souls, in another movie there are no souls at all. If believing in souls makes you more at peace, there is no problem with believing it - the movie is the point of the screen. You are not the movie though, you are the whole screen, that's a self realization. To realize yourself there shouldn't be clinging to the movie, trying to push the movie away is also won't work, just let the movie play as it is. Oneness means One. 'To get oneness' there should be 'YOU' and 'ONENESS' (that's the idea of twoness), but 'YOU' 'ARE' 'ONENESS' already, 'ARE' (oneness). ... I'd suggest a morning meditation practice: Like this, but 1-hour-daily ?

Love it!

@Gesundheit2 I find the relationship with the close people to be a litmus test. You can have a good relationship literally with everyone in the direct experience. Doesn't mean you don't express your preferences, it means you value the existence more than what happens thanks to existence: the fact of existence > opinion. Say, I was always spending time in arguing with my mom few years ago, now we're mostly just laughing and enjoying the time together when she's visiting me. And I am still expressing the preferences, but it's done from the realization that it's in fact "me <-> me" relationship.

That's the road of separation, first one.

Roughly speaking, there are 2 roads: First one is about strengthening the beliefs in separation - levels, states, baselines, etc... and to suffer more at some point. Second one is about investigating the direct experience... perhaps 1 hour daily morning meditation may be helpful... so the bliss is self-realized. There is a choice. Up to you, bro

me... me... who are you? Find the source of me-thinking ?

That's okay

This whole game is about identification, not the states/levels/baseline. Just investigate the direct experience... for example, there are 2 people in the direct experience... can you find the grain line of separation between their levels of consciousness? It is non-sense. But you can identify yourself with the body (with thinking) or just be. Daily meditation for seeing a self-referential thinking clearly. ??

My thoughts... my thoughts... who are you?

@jayfrost321 You can write the whole book how you want to take psychedelics... or just take one up to you I'd suggest to start a daily meditation practice. Psychedelics are great but... there is some 'but' to figure out for you
