Reading the book Cosmic Nutrition by Mantak Chia found this quote ”The Oneness (Wu Chi) splits and becomes two. These two are the poles and energies of yin and Yang. They emerge continuously from this point within the expanse of infinity as a result of the endless movement within the primal sea. By their combination and interplay, the yin and Yang give rise to all forms that inhabit the world of the relative universe. Thus, all antagonistic complimentary dualisms of the phenomenal world are but the two faces of the front and the back of one ultimate reality”. Wow, Chinese medicine has quite the epistemic foundation.

Quote from “Be as you Are” By David Godman and Ramana Maharshi “The Self This is the term that he used the most frequently. He defined it by saying that the real Self or real “I” is, contrary to perceptible experience, not an experience of individuality but a non-personal, all inclusive awareness. It is not to be confused with the individual self which he said was essentially non-existent, being a fabrication of the mind which obscures the true experience of the real Self. He maintained that the Self is always present and always experienced but he emphasized that one is only consciously aware of it as it really is when the self-limiting tendencies of the mind have ceased. Permanent and continuous Self awareness is known as Self-Realization”

@sholomar eggs are the bomb The only animal product I buy regularly

Non-duality is very paradoxical How is it I can reach that state and then time is real? Or it continues. This I find a miracle

@Metapath wow, neat

All in time my friends

Oh oh oh ooohhhh

@Schizophonia If someone is developing and working on a meaningful life we can act in a way to nourish them, and nourish the community.

@trenton Well, you love chess. Why not build some kind of career around it regardless? Are you competing in tournaments regularly? Are you hanging out with other chess players?

Question if the day: What does it mean to nourish? Nourish the body, the mind the spirit. Nourish industry, community, friendships, relationships, marriages, healing, etc

B12 comes from bacteria from like dirt and water. Most meat your eating that has B12, unless it’s like small farm, organic likely was given lots of B12 supplements. So you can eat your supplemented fortified B12 from meat or oat milk. Up to you

Most of you here don’t know the truth on this. Patience, say “I don’t know” Be kind to one another. Check and monitor yourself for triggers. Bring value to forum.

You.. if you know so much why you asking

Stay with moderate to low doses. It’s not about “Going higher” It’s about a long slow process of tripping, integrating, growing, etc Be balanced

@trenton Because it’s important to you and you realize how badly you want it. Perhaps it’s something to refine into doing the work everyday to make It meaningful.

You can make a post introducing yourself 😉

Take my title with a grain of salt. Open to criticism.

Self Is. This one thing he points to which simply exists under all circumstances, non-dual awareness. It’s worth reading to deepen understanding of reconciling non-duality, with duality and daily life. It’s worth clarifying questions and developing your spiritual vocabulary and list of questions of your own.

I’ve been reading recently a book filled with Q and As with Ramana Marashi. I am finding the book very insightful, when held along with my 5meodmt use, Actualized Lectures, study of the Tao and Chinese medicine, and my continued and evolving practice of Qigong, Meditation, mindfulness, self love, breathwork, and enjoying of nature. I have a deepening insights that: The Self = Infinity = consciousness = Love = Goodness = Being = Immortality = Oneness = Nonduality = Solipsism = Togetherness I find I read Maharishi’s words with ecstatic enjoyment. I think this is my Self, enjoying in the ecstasy of hearing words well spoken and truthful about reality. Maharshi is a spiritual master. I am also realizing the richness of this divine, spiritual experience that is life. The great joys of life including learning about, contemplating and experiencing Gods love, studying health, wealth, and truth. Being Mature, wise, educated, experienced, and deeply rooted is how to live the best life. Developing mastery over body, mind and spirit, and developing tangible skills in the dualistic aspect of reality is important. When I read about the Self, when I contemplate it and when I feel my spiritual connection to my true self, and the mystery of what I am I grow in deeper curiosity, ecstasy, love, compassion and passion and motivation to honour this life that I have to the highest degree. I realize that all this duality is taking place on the absolute bed that is my own Self, which is immortal, absolute Goodness for eternity. I am this Self, expanding in all direction… from the smallest ant, to the biggest ant. It’s all me. I am realizing that part of the point of my life is to develop such a profound and deep understanding of human psychology, the Self, the principles of living well, health/ healing, music, Qigong/ meditation, etc and to use this deep mastery to create a profound world of love, healing, and connection in my life. That my YouTube channel is just in its fledgling phase. Become a master of life, a master of self. The only thing that makes sense is to love, to Honour the Self. Being a Holy person is the best life. Being aligned with the self, resting in self, acting in self and creating in self is the point of reality. It is its own point. Hope there is a thread through this that makes sense, and that you found this an enjoyable read. Love, Yourself

@Ishanga So? Who cares about his journey. He is worth reading for those of us not easily accessible to Self Realization. Ramana speaks about 3 types of people. Those who get it quickly, those who take longer and some longer still. I admit to having insights for many years since youth which I ignored which no one else thought about around me. I was always contemplative and questioned my very existence quite often. But, I simply ENJOY spirituality and truth seeking and the beautiful nature of learning about God, infinity and truth. These things excite my spirit. I want to gain deeper self knowledge. Reading his words about the Self against many different questions is very useful for contemplation. Though, I admit not in isolation is the book useful for most I think but, as part of a toolset. It may be worth reading for those interested in self Inquiry. I am really just getting started, reading through it each day now. Also, I admit to still not knowing. But, I think I have more insight than I have in the past. The understanding I know will vastly deepen over the coming years. This post I made for this thread is dense.
