VeganAwake

Awakening refers to this apparent reality, including the conditioned human perception that its typically judged with. Ultimately, reality isn't good or bad or confused or suffering or ignorant. These are conceptual human labels.........reality doesn't require a label.......it just "is what it is" Thats why reality is often referred to as nothingness.............without a label or judgment placed on it, .........it's just an empty happening. Full of appearance and simultaneously empty of meaning. Exploding with light, colors, sounds, smells..............but ultimately empty of meaning, purpose and value ✨️ Full and empty at the same time. Looking at reality completely judgment free. ❤️

People fear the unfamiliar. The answer is fear!

Every path taken is perfection, but knowing it's also where you stand is the freedom!

Im gonna slap the crap out yo neural pathway 🤣

There isn't a "you" to be or to recognize the tao. It's just tao lol That which wants to be the tao is illusory. ❤️

The matrix isn't actually real. It's just a word describing physical reality through the lens of the socially conditioned me character. ❤️

I think it's very very slowly becoming more common. 🤷‍♂️

Clearly seeing that the me character attempting to become enlightened isn't real and never was! ❤️

It can be called anything. There is a physical body over here and a physical body over there typing on this forum............ just like a deer in the woods or a dog and cat in the house............ but they are all equally empty. Everything that appears is a part of Everything/Tao. Nothing is excluded. But that which wants to be a self or god or consciousness or the eternal tao.........is the illusion. Illusions of identity and they were never real from the start. ❤️

Everything is the Eternal Tao including the attempts to use words to point or tell. It's not somewhere else, it's everything. That what nonduality is pointing out. There isn't a "not that" to point at "what is that" ❤️ The separation is an illusion 🫶

This is a great example of how a self illusion reacts when its belief system is challenged or threatened! It attempts to discredit the threat at all costs. See, if you can kill the messenger, you don't have to take seriously the implications of the message. It's just a lazy survival tactic of an insecure self illusion. Maybe the self illusion will be seen through over there, maybe not. Either way it doesn't matter because that individual isn't real. It lives in a dream story/matrix where meaning, purpose and value are inherently important. ❤️

No one is controlling or choosing or doing or not doing. It's already completed! Nobody is driving the runaway train 🚆 ❤️

Is it possible that an "eternal god awakening through divine consciousness and intelligence" could also be "mental, grounded in conceptual knowledge and backstory" ? Look closely please! 🙏

Either the self illusion is clearly seen through/recognized to be completely unreal, or it is not. There isn’t scale to it or an in-between! Enlightenment is when identification as the self illusion comes to an abrupt stop. There is no longer an identification as this or that! When its just emptiness appearing as everything/fullness. Its the end of imaginary stories, beliefs and concepts, and illuminates the empty nature of apparent reality! ❤️

It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. 😁

Nothing from the past creates a real character in the present or future. The past is gone and the future is only a thought! Past and future thoughts about oneself does not = a real self in the present. There is nothing actually there......take a close look.......it's emptiness appearing as a conditioned self. The past conditioning simply does not equal a present self.....its an illusion......a really good one at that 🤣 LOOK 👀 👁 🧐 ❤️ 💙 💜

There isn't a real seeker now, just seeking energy contracted within the body. There isn't a real You in which could reach Enlightenment. Enlightenment IS already the case......it's just the insatiable self illusion believing its somewhere else in the future. ❤️

I get what you are saying. The apparent issue is the misunderstanding that an illusion can be broken down in the first place. The self illusion doesn't want to be broken down, nor can it be. Rather, it wants to be there front and center to bask in the apparent benefits. It wants enlightenment for itself, and why wouldn't it right? It sounds like the ultimate spiritual achievement of a lifetime. Its constantly reconfirming itself through these endless spiritual practices. The very practicing itself insinuates that there is indeed a real individual getting closer to achieving spiritual enlightenment. It also perpetuates the belief that the current reality is not already complete and perfect...........it's endlessly needy......it's never satisfied. This misunderstood approach is like trying to use gasoline to put out a fire or shouting for silence. Enlightenment ends this ridiculous hamster wheel fiasco. It stops the seeking dead in its tracks because its now recognized the seeker was never real from the start. The constant seeking is the prison and never finding satisfactory results is the suffering! But there's nothing right or wrong with seeking in general ❤️

I was in the military for 20 years so I do lay around quite a bit now. But not all the time....I have 3 boys, a girlfriend and an 8 month old german shepherd/husky mix pup lol. This wasn't meant as a bs brag post or something for an inflated ego to munch. Just information sharing....that's it! There are flowers and trees and plants and animals and bodies. These physical appearances are as real as real can get........& yes if you poke a hungry mother bear with a stick, she might rip your throat out and allow her cubs to eat the carcass. Enlightenment is not about anything physical with apparent reality. It's not about anything in particular at all. It's also not about dying or surrendering or denying or avoiding. But the whole recognition simultaneously includes all of these things.......enlightenment is all inclusive....it includes everything and rejects nothing. Enlightenment pertains to the End of a seemingly personalized identification experience. And nobody realizes it. Nobody wakes up. Nobody continues on living the good enlightened life. So it's not for anyone 😔.......I know, it's disappointing. What continues living on, is an empty body until it physically dies. This emptiness or nothingness is simultaneously the fullness or completness longed for by the self illusion. But this emptiness phenomenon is only recognized when the self illusion is also recognized as emptiness. It's just no longer energized, when it's clearly seen to be unreal. But nothing actually dies because it was never real from the start......hence why its referred to as a self illusion. Bottom line: It's very very very rare......so be skeptical of anyone claiming enlightenment......or don't......it doesn't ultimately matter either way......nothing does. ❤️

The word individuals was used for communication purpose..... Otherwise it would be: Emptiness recognized that emptiness hasn't recognized that its actually emptiness appearing as a real separate individual. And it's surprising to emptiness that emptiness doesn't recognize the emptiness more commonly! ❤️

It's unconditional love 🙂

If I haven't seen or experienced it.......it's market as hearsay for me!!

Awkward silence

Oh come on........it's accidentally a C+ at least 🫣
