Exactly, it can't be done wrong when wrong ends up being a concept within everything. ❤ -

What you're missing is that if nothing matters you're free to also pursue anything you want in life... Yep its that free..❤ -

Its not an exclusive experience, its all inclusive. Its every experience with the underlying recognition that the separate sense of 'I' constantly judging everything from self centered perception is an illusion or misidentification with conditioned thoughts ideas beliefs perceptions labels and contracted energy in the body. The game of life doesn't stop being played... this has been called The Divine game of Lila or dabbling back in duality. In that sense 'nothing matters' is the freedom to participate in life without the egoic self agenda constantly scrutinizing or requiring things to be one way or the other for fulfillment or satisfaction to be available. It's the freedom of things being exactly as they are. Because really the only thing that would say otherwise is a conditioned thought(what's in it for me mentality) I'm sure there are some that sit on the couch digging into a pint of ice cream saying nothing really matters so what's the point... but I find that very rarely and it could also be tied in depression or other mental disorders which can be inevitable experiences. It's not somewhere else it's THIS ❤ -

What matters: "The word “nothingness” means “nonexistence, emptiness”; the dictionary adds “death.” “Emptiness” means “concerning nothing; meaningless.” “Void” means “without effect”. The enlightened teachers tell us that nothingness is the final or ultimate reality. Not final in the sense our lives are final, but ultimate in the sense of fundamental, or real; beyond which nothing more can be said. There being not two things which are real or fundamental, nothingness is what is not unreal—as are all other things. All that we take to be existent is not “nothingness”. When one genuinely comes to recognize the truth of this description, it is as good as acknowledging that one is dead, or not “living”: non-existent. Yes, there are the appearances; but the comprehension is that they are not the reality. The reality is that appearances are meaningless. When one perceives that he is nonexistent, or “dead” to all but appearances, what can be a trouble? Can any apparent situation really matter? Even if it were to seem to matter, is this not simply just an appearance? To one who is aware of this, it is clear that nothing really matters!" -- Robert Wolfe https://ajatasunyata.com/ -

Watch an animal apparently make a choice to eat some more food, take a drink of water or walk away...watch closely... Does the choice just happen? 'WE' can create stories all day long.... oh he's a chowhound...oh she's not much into this food ...he likes to be by himself... on and on the stories go. Wait this gets better ? Can a thought effect action ? If so, was this thought a real choice? Or did it just arise due to conditioning? Was it REALLY a free choice? ❤ -

its everything... It's wild and crazy... it's completely unfathomable and incomprehensible. Its freedom!! For no one!! Nothing Matters!! There are no real goals or purpose!! It can feel shocking and terrifying at first... But it's complete liberation.. Breaking Free from thousands of years of human conditioning. It's THIS ❤ -

The body will surely die. The sense of 'self' or 'I' experienced within the body is an illusion. Illusions do not live or die because they're not real. The body/mind is a vessel allowing for the apparent illusion of 'I' to take place, but since it isn't real, the body is actually empty. Hence nobody becomes enlightened... Hence enlightenment is already the case... Hence not 2 or non-duality... If you want to believe you're the Movie, God, The Big Kahuna, THAT in which all exists.... that's what's being experienced there... its whole complete and perfect ❤ It doesn't change apparent existence in any way at all and in that sense it's not important or special... -

Yes this all sounds like ego backlash coupled with burning out or overworking the mind... ❤ Eckhart Tolle has a lot of great information in this area... chilling out and just witnessing these thoughts arise. -
VeganAwake replied to VeganAwake's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Oh well that's a much better outcome for the character... 'I' likes whichever outcome in which 'I' doesn't die. -

@Nahm yes and so funny because in the thank you email they said a man asked a couple weeks before the conference if he would receive a certificate for attending. They didn't know if he was joking or not so they just ended up making one LOL. -
@EmptyVase maybe switch up the approach... Liberation isn't the result of finding something external or gaining new insight or perception.... It's the collapsing of the individual that's trying to find fulfillment or liberation in the future...its the end of the seeker or the feeling that something is incomplete. Its so obvious that it gets overlooked. ❤

There isn't a "you" Who wants liberation... Who wants understanding... What makes up this sense of "I"... What does this sense of "I" consist of... Who is "I"... Where does this sense of "I" exist... If you are physically willing to die for Truth, then you can investigate these questions with all of your energy and focus. Psychedelics are not needed. ❤ -

Yes ❤ No loss or gain. -
1) The ability to seek to death... 2) The ability to drop to death... Looking back prior to awakening: At the time I was a hardcore Seeker for around a year or maybe more...although I wasn't sure what I was seeking, I knew it would be found. I was seeking the truth, even if it killed me. It's as if I had shut off all external outlets to conserve focus and energy. I had also been harnessing my anxious energy to fuel my search, but I was starting to burn out. I remember thinking, I had to of come across the truth by now and maybe I had overlooked it. It seemed to be right under my nose but I couldn't grasp it. I started going back through the material I had already listened to and read for a clue to what I had maybe missed. If I remember correctly, I came across an Adyashanti video where he was describing how enlightenment was not a gaining process, but a letting go or peeling off the onion layers of everything believed to be true. At that moment I completely dropped everything. I dropped it like it was hot. I kept letting go until there was nothing left. Everything started feeling light and free as if a huge amount of weight had been taken off my shoulders. It seemed like everything I believed in or thought I knew was null and void at that point. It was empty... like being reborn or something. The minds conditioned thoughts were still there in the background, but they just weren't being taken seriously any longer.
