Great little collection of videos.

? Yes, the sense of self would expect there to be a grand firework show, but it can also be quite ordinary.... it's never what's expected that's for sure. Liberation isn't a particular state of mind or particular experience within everything..... it's not exclusive it's all inclusive. Simultaneously you don't become a meditating pacifist where everything just slides by without any judgment or skepticism whatsoever. If that was the case It would be very difficult to function in society, it's actually the opposite because without ME decisions can be made rather quick and easy without distraction as you mentioned. Liberation is recognizing there already isn't a YOU. That's why it's common to hear the phrase "Enlightenment is already the case". The individual isn't a real entity it just seems to be. ❤

Staying centered. Not swinging too far in any one direction. Not buying into everything and simultaneously not rejecting it either. Push Pull. Walking The Razor's Edge. The middle path. Radically open-minded and simultaneously grounded.

Freedom is completely free. It allows for Change and Unchanging. Perfect/imperfect, right/wrong, good/bad....all conditioned concepts of the mind.

No one experiences it. It's just recognized that "I" will never find enlightenment because "I" isn't really there. ❤

@Kksd74628 If that body was born in Ethiopia it would have a whole different experience with different beliefs, concepts, religion, etc... The illusory self construct is a product of its societal conditioning or upbringing. There isn't a real individual entity within the body, it's just a conditioned experience being identified with as "ME" & "MY" experience.

Yes, Is recognizing a mirage in the desert isn't real, a happening? It seems like someone's witnessing a seeing through the illusory self construct, but the witness is the illusion. No one sees through it, but its seen through nevertheless. ❤

Surprisingly what's longed for has nothing to do with finding the correct technique, pointer or stumbling across the right information. Look for who is seeking.

Yeah but the experience seems real for them. You can unconditionally love and accept everything while stopping the rape and putting out the fire. Yep it's that free. Much love to you as well brother ❤

No one actually ends the chase. It's recognized that the individual chasing after a better experience in the future isn't a real entity within the body. There SEEMS to be a real individual chasing enlightenment but it's an illusion of self. ❤

The needy individual IS the prison. Trying to become is referred to as "painting the prison wall". When the individual is clearly recognized to be unreal it's run on the hamster wheel game is over. A poem. "Ending the chase leaves the ego no place and it tends to fall away" ❤

But that's just the ego trying to get what it thinks it wants by becoming a more loving and accepting individual. This is known as spiritual ego. It's better to recognize this needy spiritual ego attempting to become a more loving and accepting individual is completely illusory. ❤

Hehe only joking ? But yes the belief of right or wrong/ good and bad is like a web of societal conditioning and survival instincts. There can't be any real right or wrong in that which has no meaning or purpose behind it.

Just referring to how the experience of assuming the dog was on the leash and assuming I am a separate person is similar. When it's recognized the self structure is completely unreal its simultaneously revealed that separation is an impossibility because there is no one which could be separate. Everything could be referred to as just stories because there's no real meaning or purpose behind anything. ❤

I'll give you my address but you probably can't afford the trip ?

Yes it can be shocking, scary and simultaneously liberating when the parameters of our own beliefs are recognized to be meer conditioned concepts held onto by an illusory self.

It's recognized the individual that worried, believed there is nothing to do and that everything has already happened is completely unreal. Its that free ❤

Yes exactly, for ego/sense of self there will always be one step further that needs to be done. This is the ego trick to keep itself intact. As long as there's someone seeking, it perpetuates the belief that there's something to find, and someone to find it. The seeker is unreal ❤

Well truth is a man-made concept which points to something particular or something narrow. So in that sense truth isn't real because it's not a particular something within everything. It literally is everything..... including the experience of not being able to find truth.

Well the individual attempting to be free is an illusion. Freedom is the unconditional love for everything exactly the way it is which includes the judgments, the happiness, the fear, the confusion, the anger, the bliss..... Freedom is that free completely all inclusive. It's so close it seems hidden which is why Tony Parsons describes it as the Open Secret. ❤

The freedom that's being pointed to here does not have stipulations or should and should nots. It's literally being okay with not liking someone, or a job or a religion exc.... It's not like a denial saying everything is actually just great while your house is burning down and your sisters getting raped. And it's most certainly not becoming a meditating pacifist letting people walk all over you and such. Its like an underlying peace of being with the situation(because that's what's happening) weather that shows up as anger, frustration, confusion, happiness or sadness and then adjusting to the apparent predicament as needed without creating a big drawn-out personalized story about what should or should not have happened.(Eckhart Tolle actually has a lot of good information in this area). And it's not that there's anything wrong with creating a long drawn-out personalized story.... it's recognizing the one creating this personalized story isn't real. ❤
