  1. 1 banana sliced + 1 tbsp maple syrup (darkest type) + cinnamon = heaven (full of b vitamins) It's very light but definitely an adequate source of energy. I pair it with peanuts and coffee in the morning. The crazy part is how simple it is and yet it tastes better than any other processed food, although I do seriously love maple syrup. It is interesting to see that the taste of maple syrup completely evolves depending on what you combine it with. Combined with bananas it turns into something really heavenly. Working with whole foods makes me realize that less is more a lot of times, in terms of taste. I tried to add peanuts to the above recipe and it honestly took away from the rest of the flavors in a bad way IMO. I just eat the peanuts separately for that reason. The more simpler it is, the more pronounced the ingredients become.
  2. There's nothing separate from the body experiencing a body. Thus the question doesn't make sense. There's no one separate from a body experiencing a body which could accumulate separate things. The question is false because it is asking about something which is never perceived. Like asking "Why is the sky green? Explain it to me!" Divisions don't explain divisions, they just create more divisions to be perceived. Thoughts don't explain thoughts, because there's nothing separate from the thought to be explained. The explanation happens now, so no one experiences what the explanation is describing. Meaning, there isn't anyone from the past who is here experiencing the explanation. If you do a genuine surveillance with your other senses, this is very obvious. But there is a confusion that happens with thoughts. For example, there is no such thing as seeing in the past. There isn't a seer which can be seen, there isn't a hearer which can be heard, etc. All the senses are self-contained perceptions which only ever occur now. When it comes to thinking, there is an error which says that there is a thinker which can be thought of, which is not actually true. The thinker is never experienced because it is a belief. Understanding is separation. It is a narrative. Narratives are about separate things, because they describe things. "Non-dual" isn't a narrative, it says no one experiences narratives. You say you understand, I say no one understands. You say you experiences narratives, like past, birth, body, etc. Those are the divisions which are two, and not non-dual. Who is entangled with memory? There's nothing separate from the memory which is also memory. Thus there is nothing separate to be entangled with anything. Again, it is obvious with all the other senses, but thoughts and memory create a belief in a separate self which is never actually experienced. Duality is the belief that someone is owning your body. "My body"? What's separate from the body? If the body is seen, can you see the seer? If the body is heard, can you hear the hearer? If the body is touched, can you touch the toucher? Look at your perception.
  3. In perception, no one is producing perception. You don't smell the smeller You don't see the seer You don't think the thinker etc.
  4. Amazon has failed to produce a camera which can record Leo's alien transformation. Such is the spite of the universe. Alternatively, the ever-present non-dualness of the universe is always presently available to be seen and experienced, by any and all cameras. There is no non-dual cockblocking from the universe. All cameras have non-duality built into them by default. Interestingly, I know of schizophrenics who use their phone camera to discern whether what they are hallucinating is physically real or not, and it actually helps them traverse their symptoms. Not a bad tip at all. Some on the forum might benefit.
  5. You can change her direction by focusing on the foot lol very cool
  6. People aren't beliefs, or logic which can be proved and quantified. None of reality is, actually. Wake up, you're in the map! The belief in non-existence has nothing to do with consciousness. It's just someone who likes doodling on a map saying "this doesn't exist, that doesn't exist, this isn't real, that isn't real, I cant wait to reach the ultimate description of reality through this map!"
  7. Your memory isn't actually describing something that happened in the past because descriptions don't happen in the past. That is an assumption about the memory. Descriptions happen now, not in the past. Physical objects aren't perceived in the past, like a shop. Look at your memory, it is comprised of physical appearances (a shop) which must have happened now. Thought says "I experienced that in the past" but it is always relative to now. The actual experience of a shop doesn't happen in the past. You have only ever experienced thinking now, not thinking in the past. Your entire life has always been a single continuous "now", including thoughts about the past or whatever else.
  8. Difference is a concept not experienced. Like "non-existence." Practically, I would suggest looking at thoughts appear and disappear as suggested before. Assumptions don't need to be experienced in order to be felt. If you assume there is a bear in your closet, you will feel fear without seeing the bear. Emotions and feelings happen now. Concepts and divisions don't. Concepts and divisions point to "not now." But the pointing happens now. The emotion is how the assumption feels. There is a symptom (emotions) which is experienced now, but the cause (thoughts) is not actually seen or experienced anywhere. Similar to mistaking a rope for a snake. Investigating the rope and realizing there is no snake dispels the emotion, because the emotion was equivalent to the belief that there was a snake. Trying to stop imagination is like trying to stop sight, touch, sound, etc. Existence can't stop existence. "Stopping imagination" is a thought about something separate from existence that can control and stop existence. The belief that you can or can't stop things is imagination. The imagination isn't actually controlling whether you can or can't stop things, because you aren't the separate thing that the imagination is describing. Just because something is being described doesn't mean it actually exists; check your experience to verify this. Imagination itself is the idea of control, there is no such idea outside of it; it is entirely self-contained. Imagination can't stop anything, it can only describe it, but what is described is never seen or experienced. There is no such thing as a mindset where you have nothing to lose, because a mindset describes things that can be lost. The point is that you can't be described. Not losing anything is just the default state of existence when there aren't any beliefs about separation operating. In the same way how removing your belief about Santa Claus isn't a mindset, there's just nothing left over. First figure out what the problem actually is before you decide to do anything to it. What is an attachment? Look at it and figure it out. Only when you know what it is, then you can make an informed decision.
  9. The key is understanding what it is, not looking to stop it. You only want to stop it because you are assuming that it has some kind of power to it. That assumption is the attachment. And now because of that assumption, you are ironically attached to stopping attachment. The belief in attachment is itself attachment. Attachment is purely an assumption, nothing else. It is purely fueled by an assumption, otherwise it has no other power to it. If you understand what it is, it will lose all of its importance because you will realize that it isn't describing anything that actually exists. There is no experience of attachment, there is only an experience of a belief in attachment. In the same way that there is no Santa Claus, only an experienced belief. This belief goes on until the belief is dispelled, and realized to never have been experienced. The only reason you are attached is because you think you can imagine things to be attached to; but there is no such experience. There is just the assumption that there are objects from past and future which relate to you. Very simply, if you stop imagining the past and future, there is no attachment. Because then there is nothing to lose. There is your "liberation." Attachment is the assumption that you can experience a past and a future. The assumption can be dispelled by examining the experience of thinking. "Attachment" is thinking happening now, and your entire life has been thinking happening now, nothing else.
  10. Attachment doesn't stay. It is very ephemeral. It is like a hologram that appears and disappears. You have to make a conscious effort to bring it up and think about it. Pay attention to when it vanishes and how it feels for it to vanish. If you watch it appear and disappear like that, you will naturally become disillusioned.
  11. Love isn't a relationship between two things, or what that thought points to. There aren't "things coming into your life and loving you." Where is the boundary in feeling, which would create that separation? Separate objects aren't love, they're concepts not experienced. Feeling isn't an object. It's now.
  12. Not worth it unless heavy metals are tested IMO, otherwise it is very nutritious.
  13. You are not a human. You are a lemur overdosing on millipede juice. This is a message from the universe to make you remember. Come back to your true kind. The jungle is waiting for you. Take the lemur pill. Lemur awakening!
  14. Being away from Cat Infinity for too long makes you homesick.
  15. Wow you're right. If you don't have the genetics for Wall Consciousness™, you can simply just use a door to walk through the wall.
  16. This is just one ultimate plausible explanation you pulled out of Ultimate Plausible Explanation Infinity.
  17. Duality. Duality. No one experiences or accumulates memories. Memories by definition are happening now. Memories aren't about a past experience, that is an assumption currently made about memories, but it is not the experience of memories. There is no such thing as a memory of you being inside of a past or future. Your idea of "liberation" is separation. THAT idea is your actual "karma." They are ideas you have which aren't truly experienced, yet you believe in them. Liberation isn't an idea about past, future, "finishing games", etc, those ideas ARE the perception of time which is your ego/karma.
  18. You can walk through all the walls you want, that doesn't mean you understand what your conscious experience is. It is completely irrelevant to enlightenment. If someone hypothetically gained that ability in the real world, it would say nothing about their intelligence/understanding/cognition lmao. This is so silly. You can probably even do that while dreaming or astral projecting (apparently low states of consciousness?). It literally means nothing. If the question is a more primordial philosophical one, like "why doesn't God allow us to walk through walls", then that is just the classic question "why is reality this way and not another way?" which is more of an intellectual inquiry that extrapolates into the future, and we all know there is no such thing as a conscious experience in the future. There aren't two experiences that can be compared.
  19. Something something DMN. Enlightenment is realizing that there isn't any experience of separate things (brains). Which makes you think less about brains and separation, since brains are thinking. Which in turn gets measured as low activity in the DMN region or whatever, since it seems to light up whenever you imagine anything. Side effects of enlightenment involve a rerouting of the entire emotional system since you can't imagine separate situations to be emotional about anymore. This percolates into energy levels, how we experience dreams and sleep, etc. etc.
  20. Divisions are limitations. You are imagining divisions like "humans" and "walls" right now lol. No one has seen or experienced a difference, only believed or assumed that there are. It's all one occurrence. Consciousness is not a materialist's version of omnipotence, like infinite knowledge or some such thing (this contradicts because all knowledge is finite). It's realizing that there wasn't something separate to lack knowledge/cognition in the first place. Your psychedelic experiences are throwing you into intellectual forms of non-duality, which aren't non-duality, but are very dual.
  21. L-theanine may or may not create such brain waves IIRC. You are always in the present though. If a thought is occurring, ask "to whom is the thought occurring"? The answer naturally follows as "me" and it will bring you to the present occurrence (you).
  22. Survival occurs. Life occurs. As one occurrence. Now. All words you see humans speak point to one occurrence. There isn't any room for a self to be separate.
