  1. We are all in the same place, there is no me or you
  2. We are still stuck on straw men words. "Self" and "you" are nonsensical terms so there is no point in doing an inquiry about them. No need to do an exercise on a premise which we already agree is false No need to mystify it and make it precious. Proper Non-Dualist Speech, let's enjoy it !
  3. indeed, that's the highest form of matter
  4. There is no you, so there is nothing to dissolve
  5. Yes right, she has been laying low since her decision not to vote “yes” or “no,” but instead "present" on the impeachment
  6. We are in a constant state of experience. It is impossible to avoid. There is no me or you but we keep avoiding that
  7. As long as we are living and breathing we are experiencing We were handed a formula But didn't understand it so we could apply to the most fundamental of what we are doing here now, writing these things. The fundamental thing being mindful of the words we use
  8. There we go again with the separation Stuck in our old unenlightened ways we take language for granted and let it hypnotize us into believing in "you"
  9. We can't because Nonduality is recognition that we are all one and separate entities "you" and "I" are delusions
  10. We still get caught in these meaningless questions. We should be asking "what did we do today?"
  11. That might give us comfort but it's due to growing up on dualism. Tt is hard to let go of the bad habit of false speech and instead update the language to ingrate with the truth Give it a try instead of clinging to old fashioned traditional ways
  12. "Staring at people could make you hallucinate" (but you have to have the lighting right)
  13. Sorry the choice here is the world without the color purple or a world without bananas 100pcs/bag Rare Purple Banana Seeds,bonsai Fruit Seeds vegetable Fruit Tree Seed organic Heirloom Seeds plant For Home Garden Price: US 1.01 - 1.15 / Lot https://www.dhgate.com/product/100pcs-bag-rare-purple-banana-seeds-bonsai/406320499.html ________________________________________________________________________ Purple bananas are already available let's not avoid having to choose in this hypothetical, a world without the color purple or a world without bananas.
  14. We are using the separation words here using the delusional pronouns. It only seems hard because we're not used to it A simple answer to our question, those pronouns indicate separation Thankfully, correct speech here (except for the second to last word) , retroactive changes at our discretion Re-articulated version more melodious Yes if we have the time but from this moment on just as well. This will lead us closer to the truth
  15. Here's one of the videos where he talks about Leo but also some on Nonduality teachers in general He likes Jed Mckenna but says he is also in the "consciousness trap"
  16. not trying to promote him but he has a book called "unSpirituality - Permission To Be Human" Oddly Leo has a thread called "Objections To Spirituality Mega-Thread" Is there is some kind of Doppelgangery going on?
  17. . Are these things me? Are these things due unconditional love ? Or is that just reserved for humans?
  18. If millions of people were shown this picture, not all of them but a vast number of people would say it's picture Donald Trump Probably none of them would say it's a picture of Muhammad Ali Why?
  19. If this is true why does he call himself "Erin", use the words " I " and "you" and "his" and Ramana Maharshi ? Isn't there some way to make the point without using the very words communicating falsehood?
  20. twice a day 20 minutes each is a good goal for you to reach. Then in the middle of the day if you are stressed and want to relax or want to focus on a goal do 5 minutes or whatever you can based on as needed what is your current technique?
  21. Do you fell you engage in this more than you should or do you see it more in other people? It's a matter of self judgement whether or not something is deemed laziness or procrastination. Somebody decides they should be doing something for the better of themselves or other people but instead does something else. The function of is to avoid mental pain. The mind feels comfortable in habits. It could even be a habit that is physically painful. This operates on a subconscious level. The conscious mind decides that a certain behavior is unproductive or damaging and says to itself "let's stop eating a pint of ice cream and two slices of pizza each day we are getting fat" But the subconscious mind doesn't understand that it only wants pleasure and it sends to extra pain signals if you try to undo what it's used to, somewhat like a dog. But this dog has a lot of power because it controls feelings and make you feel pain. If you submit to the dog you get that wonderful pint of of ice cream again but then later you pay consequences. Or you could become addicted to something painful like making a little cuts in your arm. And the subconscious mind starts to like the thrill of of that and then starts doing it as a habit. So even something not instantly physically addictive becomes mentally addictive, a habit that compels you to keep doing it. The subconscious mind like the short term benefits and can't comprehend the long term results. It could even be something seen as good. A person starts taking piano lessons. They practice by themselves also as usual. They become good at it and they start doing it more. It feels good. But you need more to live than just being a great piano player. They start to get obsessed and they are playing all day and all night. Their friends and family drop away, they don't have time for them anymore. Other people think their skills are a great thing and encourage it. This is one of the functions of laziness and procrastination: avoidance. Meditation could even be misused this way where the person becomes addicted to a tranquil state in order to avoid more difficult and uncomfortable situations. One person is deemed lazy and tries to avoid work as much as possible . But another works so much they become a "workaholic". That same work become a form of laziness and procrastination relative to other parts of their life which they neglet - too much of a good thing becomes in part a bad thing. That is why we need to add a little discomfort to our lives to practice being able to handle adversity and not run to instant gratification. Easier said than done. It could take some people a lifetime to find balance
