VeganAwake

I run into this all the time bud... you are just trying to escape doing the difficult work of realizing the ego is controlling you...you just want to call it Divine... everything is fine and dandy and great in the absolute.. Awakening is easy and tricky at the same time trust me.. You are a textbook example of you think you already have the answer so you're not willing to be open enough to realize you are completely wrong.( it's called humility) The biggest obstacle to Discovery is not ignorance it's the illusion of knowledge

You cannot have separation between something that's imaginary and something that's real... the imagined duality can be taken right out of the picture and reality will still exist is that clear to you... If you take The Mirage of the soda machine out of the desert there will be no impact... there will just be less things to confuse us...

Wow that was so beautiful ❤ I want to give you a hug ? One thing to realize is during human Evolution our egos function was to Keep Us Alive At All Cost... this evolutionary ego isn't real... and that is what is so trippy it just feels real and gives us the illusion of separation.. do you see how funny this is. It's not a mistake of the Divine it is simply an illusion that we are believing in...? But the problem is this survival mechanism(ego) went a little wild and overboard. This evolutionary ego mechanism took over and started claiming itself as a separate entity and causing pain and suffering. I have to show you this video... plus the guy is pretty cute lol.. https://youtu.be/M_C5Cua9VL8

Haha yeah there's no great aha moments here, my Enlightenment has been the turtle crossing the finish line with the cookie tied to his shell. By the time I get to eat the cookie it's dirty and Soggy... but I'm still grateful I guess it is still a cookie LOL... I am still scheduled to talk to Fred Davis on Friday I will see what he has to say but yeah I totally understood what you were saying above and it hit me pretty quick. My enlightened friend is pretty much assuring me that I didn't get the full realization yet and that's why I'm still suffering sometimes. I completely believe him but at the same time my understanding quickly travels past the state that I am in, or about to reach and also saw the piece of ending or completing the search you describe.. I feel like my full peace and Tranquility/aha moment's/realizations are slowly crossing the Pacific Ocean in multiple waves. When they finally arrive I'm like oh about time what the hell were you waiting for... Haha. I am having a slow boring vegan Enlightenment if you know what I mean

Well my man there is no need to reinvent the wheel there are great Masters Among Us and those that came before us to help guide us. The only real question to ask is have you realized the sufferer is not real. Once the sufferer is realized to be a fictional character the suffering ends. Has it ended for you?

You are a true Master my friend ❤ wow LOL...? Thank you!!

WTF mate I think I got it....this is a trip bro it is a full circle... it's like you just relax back into it and stop the seeking and resistance.

On second thought I take that back maybe I could what a trip...?

@silene I understand... you are very welcome ❤ Just realize you can't be anything other than enlightenment/oneness.. You are the conscious space in which everything is contained and everything is happening. You don't actually have a choice so the faster you remove the veil the sooner the seeking will end and you will realize you are IT... This is when the suffering ends ? Seeking is to suffer...❤

Hello Oneness ❤ "When Oneness see's its own reflection in the mirror, Oneness wakes up to itself" Once Upon A Now, Oneness realized, oh my goodness, there is only THIS, and I AM IT... Oneness started to observe and look around to find something separate from itself, but everywhere Oneness looked Oneness just saw itself and it was all Divine. When were stuck in Maya(The illusion of the self) : Simply put, our minds(ego construct) tricks us into believing we are a separate human structure divided from everything else. This belief is an illusion or what's called Maya. We believe we are a separate wave from the ocean. You can never actually seek outside of yourself, because everything is You/Oneness. The fact is, seeking outside of Yourself is IMPOSSIBLE because there is nothing outside of Oneness or Non-Duality. So when you believe you are seeking externally for answers you are just creating the Illusion of duality in your mind... you are really still just seeking within yourself. - The ego construct is not real. - Duality is not real. There has never been Two, there has always only been One and it is You!! - The separation never occurred we were always One. It was just a mistaken identity. - Does Oneness see how funny this is? - You actually Can't Screw Up because it's all only you it's all Oneness it's all God it's all Infinite. - Our minds keep us locked in The Matrix believing in this illusion in Maya, we were never separate it's just our mind tricking us and keeping us trapped in this imaginary prison of separation. - Our ego can be looked at as a dysfunctional survival mechanism that was there to keep us alive but now it's running rampant and we do not see it for what it is. - It's time to see things as they really are and wake up out of our slumbers. ❤ ❤ The truth is you can never be outside of this you're always one it's just whether you're conscious of it or not... ❤ ❤

Hey bro ❤...I completely understand what you're saying about going full circle... I love it. What I don't understand is how could one forget that Duality is an illusion. For example I wouldn't forget that the appearance of the 10 million separate waves in the ocean are not still just the whole ocean appearing as many waves. Now I can temporarily play the unconscious game and pretend like I forgot everything was me but that would probably just last for a short period of time. In fact this game is called the Divine game of Lila. I play this game every now and then and dive back into pretending like I am unconscious... but like I said it doesn't last long although it is quite fun sometimes stirring up a Ruckus just for the heck of it.. I hope I didn't sound disrespectful I'm just trying to understand your point of view it kind of sounds like its just the different way that we perceive things.❤.. When we are Awake we are no longer identified with The Masks we wear ...Our Consciousness shines through them. I couldn't put these masks back on and forget that they were an illusion if you know what I mean ❤.

Let's try to think about this as simply as possible. If you are looking at the ocean from a satellite image and you counted eight million waves in the ocean you would not say wow look at these eight million individual waves apart from the ocean. You would understand that from a certain perspective they seem separate but they're really just the ocean, they always were the ocean, they never were separate. The separation never occurred it was just an illusion ❤

Sorry I did not mean to focus on the eyes during meditation. When I meditate I just listen to the breath, allow my thoughts to arise, simply notice them and let them fall away. I've also had that pressure feeling in the third eye that is normal. I would not be concerned about your progress of realization. Continue meditating and staying in the present moment as conscious awareness within the conscious space of Oneness. When you do a 180 and turn within ask yourself who am I over and over again and see what comes up... Try to find where this sense of self resides within the body...

@Raptorsin7 to make it easy anything that causes pain and suffering is undoubtably the mind-body. Anything that causes happiness peace and joy is conscious awareness or Oneness... You're doing the right thing just continue staying present in conscious space with your attention as the eyeballs of conscious awareness. The more you practice the more you will be able to stay in this Oneness state... aha moments can happen but they can slowly happen as well if that makes sense. There is nothing other than THIS. You are IT. You are Enlightenment itself. PS ..don't try to kill the ego you can't..simply see it for what it is and it will sit down with its nose in the corner by itself.

Of course you can but the mind is conditioned and reacts on autopilot..

The body-mind is duality, it is the defense mechanism between a body-mind and Oneness realizing its the same. The separation the body- mind creates with Oneness is obviously an illusion. Just this realization alone is a big first step....Awareness alone is Curative. Ask yourself what's prior to the body-mind? What you are is prior to language and Body-Mind. You are what does not change. What does not change? The Conscious Space in which everything exists inside of, and the Conscious Awareness that is aware of this space and can focus its attention on it. It is not two different things it is still Oneness. It's Oneness observing itself that's who you are...❤ Let me know if you understand what I said ❤

Duality is like believing the finger, the point, the moon and the distance between the hand and the Moon we're all separate things/events Non-duality is realizing it was always only Oneness happening inside of itself.( big picture thinking) ❤

The separation never occurred. The idea that he could ever be multiple separate(duality) things was the illusion itself... Yes He Is ❤

@pluto ❤

Matt think about who is trying to become awakened... The character otherwise known as the false self cannot awaken. It doesn't have the ability to awaken because this character is a fictional entity created by the ego construct. Yes there is a real human body/mind but there is NOT a character named Matt which you are trying to awaken. Do you see the problem? You are trying to awaken an illusory sense of self. The person you described as inadequate and plagued by addictions and emotions is an illusion. Your true self is what does not change its what is always here it's the pure conscious awareness that you need to notice and realize as your true self. Here is a video called the illusion of "I" and I would also like you to watch the movie: Samadhi (Maya the illusion of self) on YouTube okay...... trust me on this one...❤ Good luck Oneness!! Become aware ? ❤

You're asking a very deep question ❤ You see this Oneness/Non-duality realization runs a lot deeper than almost everyone understands. A lot of people pretend to understand as they stay safely in the confines of their comfort-zones without even realizing it. Oneness is all there is. It is YOU and YOU are IT. THIS is IT. This is ENLIGHTENMENT. There was never 8 billion separate waves in the ocean there was only the ocean/oneness...diversity never existed. Diversity, separateness and duality is an illusion of the mind, a figment of the imagination, a fictitious belief. The separation never occurred, we have always only been one and its YOU... You are the Conscious Space in which everything is occurring, THIS is all happening inside of you, as you, by YOU. Everything is you the Dolphins the whales the seals the Bears the antelopes the trees the grass the mountains. It's literally all happening inside the Conscious Space of YOU as YOU....trippy right ? There is nothing happening outside of YOU outside of THIS!!! This Pure Conscious Awareness is waking up to itself, inside of itself, as itself. It's like all the atoms in the human body waking up and realizing we're not the individual atoms were the whole body... This is why all the Great Masters say you are already enlightened. There is nothing else you could be ...you are it NOW. You are Enlightenment itself. This is the realization the Big Kahuna that everyone is seeking and they don't even realize they already have it haha... all that is required is to see it right now in this present moment....DO YOU SEE IT!! Can YOU believe it was that easy. You are enlightened!!! You just needed to become aware of it!!

@Billy Shears haha thanks I needed that...❤ Happy Thanksgiving!!

Oneness see's what it is saying... yes this Oneness understanding is tricky. ❤ You see even something describing Oneness as paradoxical would almost imply a separate entity describing Oneness as paradoxical implying a separation. Does Oneness see how tricky this understanding itself can be LOL... Oneness would not describe itself as paradoxical. That would be like a horse describing itself as having a funny way about itself. Oneness just IS.... Can you see how funny this is? A lot of people try to ponder Oneness, with the belief they are outside of it... Thanks my friend ?

Can you describe to me what you mean by the Paradox of Oneness please... I'm trying to understand where you're coming from. I think I know but I'm not positive

Ha this work is prior to kindergarten level it's what you were before you learned anything. You can still private message me anytime good luck Oneness ❤
