@Inliytened1 yes part 2 is even funnier because he is starting to understand what Jim is saying but the dualistic nature of language has him tripping over his own words for like 10 minutes straight... it's freaking hilarious and they both are cracking up the whole time ❤

@Consilience The current belief that there was an individual ME stuck in Maya is the misunderstanding. There was never a ME to be stuck in Maya because the ME is the illusion... it's a mind-f*** from Hell basically. ? There is no YOU that could say anything to Maya because YOU is Maya....ahhh it's complete Anarchy run for your life hehe.

This is true... Yes...there isn't a you to have control of your thoughts or not... Desired and undesired thoughts will arise regardless do to human conditioning. The identification with these thoughts will cause the future undesired thoughts(which were the ones being mentioned)

@The Lucid Dreamer Thanks for sharing.... there's definitely a resonation with a lot of those. Embodiment of unconditional love is so powerful..

If you are saying it's the recognition that there was never a suffer to have suffered and that suffering was caused by identification with undesired thoughts as the self, then you are spot on ? It sounded like that's what was being said..

What's recognized by no one after liberation is that, there never was a you that was on a path seeking, and there never was a you to be stuck or unstuck in Maya. The belief that there is someone here that didn't fall into the no truth trap early on the path...shows that Maya the illusion of the self is still being believed in. The reason Liberation is called the pathless path is because there's no actual distance between what is being looked for and what is already the case. Its a lifting of the veil so that what is already the case is seen clearly for the first time. There was no one ever actually here to find anything that was the illusion itself...its to radical ?

Hehe high low are the same.. There actually isn't any teachings... turns out Liberation is an Unknowing or unlearning... Intelligence isn't an issue the real question to ask is what does it take or mean to unlearn ?

Nailed it... Exactly ..with or without a complex explanation believed/created by ego...its already THIS Perfection sitting here waiting to be recognized for No One. ❤

Actually I think that's a great idea...

No benefits what are we looking for then? What are the benefits for the ego then haha?

@Prevailer When you say this what do you mean?.....It all comes down to whether you believe in God or not... Are there great benefits in life when you believe I am God or there is a God? If you got given all the universal secrets and truth's right now... Would it actually make any difference at all? And what if truth was illusion?

A good way to think about non-duality is, its everything... it's the Absolute...its THIS right now... Non-duality was you thinking about non-duality in the cinema... Non-duality was you thinking about or experiencing some kind of state over physical reality... Everything included here is all Non-duality: After that I was going to home and during the journey I was more centered and felt really good and full of enthusiasm. Whole that state has gone after something like a few, maybe 3 hours. What do you think? Could it be some kind of mystical experience leading to the path to awekening or am I only cheating myself? It's not some kind of state you will reach in the future it's what's happening right now... welcome to non-duality you didn't need a ticket because you were already a part of the show which is one. ❤

@SOUL LOL nice..if I would have found that, it definitely would have been the thread opener... We should all chip in and hire this guy to show up in the middle of the Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris debates... and kiss his magic bunny in front of the camera

There's really just so much confusion in this area... I wanted to post this short video to help clear up some of this confusion.

“Forgive others as quickly as you expect God to forgive you.” “There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.” “Everyone makes mistakes. If you can’t forgive others, don’t except other to forgive you.” “Forgiveness and letting go are step back on our road back to happiness.” “Forgive peoples, not their words.” -Manish Kumar “Forgiveness doesn’t change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” -Paul Boose “Weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” -Mahatma Gandhi “Always forgive your enemies- nothing annoys them so much.” -Oscar Wilde “Let us forgive each other-only then we can live in peace.” -Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy “Forget your past, forgive yourself and begin again.” “Life becomes easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.” -Robert Brault

@LfcCharlie4 thanks bro ?

@LfcCharlie4 ❤ I like that... I'm the only one on the forum that doesn't know how to add those to my profile haha... It took me 45 minutes to update my picture LOL ?

It's purely just dietary. We don't eat animal products. Me and my wife and three sons have been eating vegan for around three and a half years. I definitely wouldn't give any lessons on it as we probably still unknowingly buy leather and other animal products unconsciously. Also for example if someone makes a lentil soup or something like that and there is some bacon in it I look at it as the healthiness of the lentils outweigh a few tiny pieces of bacon so I will still eat it and not waste the nutrition.( although I probably still avoid the big chunks of bacon haha)

I know what he was saying... I listened to the video and that's why I said what I said bud...❤ Someone getting it or not makes no difference to the Absolute.

What's being pointed to is whether you are attached or not, whether you are suffering or not, whether or not you lead with the right statement in your post, or weather you have directly experienced you are God, or believe it's unknowable, or think you have started a whole new thing on a thread has no meaning purpose or value whatsoever..."Nothing Matters at all in any way. Even if you deeply believe something with every inch of your being... it does not matter at all and has no meaning purpose or value whatsoever. It's absolute complete freedom ❤

That's a great video he is so close... there's just two things that I would point out: 1) Just because someone is or isn't living from a place of understanding or embracing "Nothing Matters" does not actually mean it now matters. This kind of reminds me of the duality belief... (just because someone believes in Duality does not make it true) 2) Embracing or embodying"Nothing Matters" is not like turning on a light switch. When someone is not used to living in such beautiful light they have to slowly become accustomed to it just like any new paradigm. Other than that yes spot on ?

I know I've read all these ideas they're definitely interesting ❤ I have to go to bed LOL

Are you sure, can you do any magic tricks then or anything? ❤ This is just what the left half of my brain thinks is going on.. The right half recognizes we are everything and nothing simultaneously haha
