  1. Effects of psychedelics can occur years later also.
  2. What's being pointed to is pre concept, but the mind continuously tries to understand Pre concept... It's the mind getting back on the knowing hamster wheel .....It's the minds inexhaustible or unrelenting attempt at trying to know the unknowable. It's like saying I want to know Unknowing ?
  3. "The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind" -- Sengstan, Hsin Hsin Ming
  4. There ALREADY isn't a "Self" within the body brushing its teeth....thats the illusion. So there is a conditioned body that has learned to brush its teeth so its breath doesn't stink and get cavities. But the owner/doer of these apparent happenings that claims ownership is Maya illusion of the self. As I have said before, if the body learned how to operate a crane or become a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu... That doesn't change after Awakening.... what changes is the inner self-centered claimant of these apparent achievements or titles... they are no longer important personal achievements which need to be upheld in order to keep the sense of self-satisfied(Maya). SIMPLY THIS: "The solution or the end of the seeking isn't a finding. That need to find something is never satisfied; it never happens. If it does, it's very temporary. I find something and I'm afraid of losing it; I find something and I'm trying to hold onto it; I'm trying something and I'm trying to maintain it. It's never satisfied. The end of the seeking is the end of the seeker, is the end of the experience, that 'this' is real. What's left is what's already obviously everything: THIS. This doesn't need anything else, this is already all there is. Whatever is happening—whatever feelings, thoughts, experiences are happening—that is the wholeness that is looked for. It's not the wholeness the individual's looking for. It's not the wholeness that the "I am" is looking for. It will always be dissatisfied with this. It's a wholeness that's beyond the personal seeking, beyond the personal need for something more or something else" -- Jim
  5. San Pedro is that Mexico? Anyways Sounds beautiful how was the Senoritas and tequila? Did you try any of that Mexican Viagra?
  6. Call it anything...but Only a habitual identification with a conditioned thought was referring to another way of relating. That's what occurred whether or not another conditioned thought agrees or not. ❤
  7. Nothing other than conditioned thinking judges thoughts as pleasant or unpleasant. There already isn't an I thinking thoughts. When this is recognized or seen deeply, so called positive and negative thoughts and emotions are equal. This is the liberation ❤
  8. When you stop identifying with these thoughts and giving them energy and attention, they die down drastically. But it's not the thoughts that really need to die down.... it's the recognition there is no one thinking them, they just arise and are either identified with and given energy or not. ❤
  9. Yep, I, ME, YOU, MY are just words used for communication purposes. There's nothing right or wrong with anything, only a conditioned thought would say otherwise.... there already is no one to do Awakening wrong ?
  10. Who is "I" that apparently goes places? Thoughts seem to go places and when there's identification as them, it feels like real progress. Nobody's actually going anywhere. Freedom is stepping off the habitual thought train. ❤
  11. A clear recognition for no one that there never was a "YOU" or "ANOTHER"
  12. Watch 22:45 - 27: 55 for reference to simulation/matrix Q&A. ❤
  13. Yep ? completeness is already. But the ego mind does not like to hear it because it puts it out of a job. No need to listen to it ❤
  14. Hehe yes I use it to point a lot ❤ They did such a great job directing and catching the key aspects of awakening. Here It was like finding a cold drink of water in the desert.
  15. It's truly unknowable....but you can try all you want, nothing wrong with it.
  16. Reality is constantly changing so it is what it is and also other simultaneously.
  17. This sounds like that synchronicity guy that used to be around on the forum?
  18. Listen to each teacher until the full underlying message is grasped and then move on. No need to land in one spot. ❤
  19. No, the body viewed, smelled, heard...etc Then the sense of "ME" made a story of how this occurrence was not only personal but also meaningful(illusion)
