  1. Negativity can still happen because there is still a conditioned body that may have been abused or taught bad habits and things like that... what has changed though is the identification with the human body / Ego construct as the self, and the resistance to what is has been dropped. There's no longer suffering.

    So basically what happens are these conditioned unhealthy patterns aren't entertained any longer or fed any energy so they are usually drastically reduced if not completely eliminated ...sometimes upon awakening these shadows are surfaced immediately from the subconscious and dissolve in the light of awareness. 

    As Consciousness expands and the further one moves on the path towards Samadhi the less suffering and negative behavior seem to arrise.

    @VeganAwake "THIS" is consciousness. Otherwise there would be no notion of THIS. No awareness of it. Consciousness is still duality. Surprise! xD

     

    You are correct from your view point.

    There is existence and something that's conscious of existence..

    That which feels like an observer and is conscious of existence is Maya the illusion of self. There never was a separate conscious observer outside of existence. That's quite literally the illusion itself.

    It's absolutely crazy and irrational.

     


  3. Oneness police here:?

    Everything that was mentioned here along with the comments on this thread are all happening within THIS one apparent experience.

    Nothing happens outside of THIS one apparent experience.

    The simple misunderstanding that something separate is happening outside of THIS is also happening within THIS.

    Duality is an illusion..

    Illusions happen within THIS, but they are not separate from THIS.

    Yes, this is inescapable, and i agree. But i also see attempting to teach or reach it can be kind of a trap

    Bingo Yahtzee that's because there's nothing to find...❤

    The separate self / seeking energy feels incomplete. That feeling of incompleteness will keep you running on the hamster wheel and seeking infinitely.

    The trick is to recognize you are already complete, step off the hamster wheel and turn that seeking energy 180 degrees Within...

    Ask

    Who am I?

    What does this I consist of?

    Where in the body is this I located?

  5. @Beginner Mind  all the separate self / seeking energy can do is seek. It feels separate and incomplete. The seeking perpetuates it's reality and keeps you seeking infinitely. But there's nothing to find because you are already complete.

    The trick is to recognize this, step off the hamster wheel, turn that seeking energy 180 degrees and go within to recognize your true nature.❤

    Who am I?

    What does this 'I' consist of?

    Where in the body is this 'I' located?

    @VeganAwake Is it bad that I literally can hear that in Eckhart's voice from how many times I listened to the Power of Now xD

     

    Only if you think so ?

    It's interesting as Consciousness expands every time I go back to a teaching it feels like I'm reading it for the first time, you seem to understand things on a deeper level...

    Actually I heard he stole this from Rupert...?

    @VeganAwake Yes bro! If you ask people what they want 99% of people will say happiness! (Unless they're starving or something) 

    And, then we stop demanding things and people to give us happiness and paradoxically we can enjoy them even more! 

    Life is beautiful :x

    I agree... it's incredible when it's recognized what the Seeker wants is what the Seeker already is.❤

    I look at it as Absolute and relative domains.  Purpose and meaning are relative.  From the Absolute perspective it is perfection.   It just IS.  There is no duality so there is no difference between anything.

    But as humans we dwell in the realm of the relative - though through wisdom we can embody the Absolute and take that perspective as much as we can in our daily lives.  Although a degree of relativism is necessary for survival.  Because if you took the Absolute perspective all the time in the relative domain than that would mean to you there would be no difference between walking off a cliff and not walking off a cliff.   And from the Absolute there isn't.  But if you wish to remain in this domain than you must take into account relativity.

    in Truth though we are in duality it is still a part of non-duality.  And simultaneously it is non-duality.  So it's all One.  The finger is also the hand.  It is just shifts in perspective.  Shifts in consciousness.

    Relative absolute duality and non-duality are just words. 

    The experience is where the answer lies.

    If the sense of self has not fallen away, the experience will feel like a separate individual here, experiencing existence out there. (This is a relative/dual experience) This is called Maya the illusion of the self / duality.

    If the sense of self has fallen away, the experience will feel like existence experiencing itself as itself. (This would be considered non-dual awareness or non-duality)

    But in the biggest picture possible and when Awakening occurs it's recognized that the separate self never actually existed, it was just an illusion.

    And what does the separate self represent? Duality. 

    Duality isn't real, it only feels real from inside the illusion. ❤

    You literally cannot grasp this with the mind because the mind thinks dualistically.

    Yeah, nothing matters... Until You're fired from your job. Then suddenly nothing matters a whole lot more than it did before lol

     

    That communication isn't saying there isn't apparent consequences...

    It's saying that the consequences and outcome have no meaning purpose or value.

    Whether you keep the job whether you lose the job whether you find a better job whether you go on unemployment whether you're homeless...

    Nothing matters in that sense... who knows you may have the experience of your life living under the bridge with an enlightened homeless guy...

    Basically whatever path is taken isn't any better than any other path...

    Only the mind with an agenda thinks otherwise...
