Princess Arabia replied to AION's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I'm sorry but I don't believe in this concept. You can, if you choose. I'm not undermining people's suffering either. I've suffered too. We all have. We all have been there. When you realize it's energy at play, you allow for it to pass through without holding unto memories, ideas and concepts about the suffering. One can experience suffering in a whole new way when they are aware of it's nature just like happiness, joy and whatever other emotion. Happiness doesn't stick around because we don't put too many stories and ideas around it. Suffering on the other hand, we resist and what we resist persists. We don't suffer suffering, we suffer the stories, thoughts and ideas about the experience. God did not invent suffering, the mind suffers it's own thinking. God doesn't do anything to us. God is the suffering energy itself. God is everything. Consciousness. You are conscious that you are suffering the energy of suffering. Suffering is it's own entity. When we identify with the body/mind and we believe we are here and everything else is out there, then every thing is owned, including suffering. When we don't, then suffering becomes just another emotion or sensation being observed. -

Who are you referring to? -
Princess Arabia replied to AION's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
She wasn't summoning hell on you, she was communicating figuratively. Figure of speech. -

So does walking, dancing, talking, loving, sexing, shitting and peeing. The body doesn't suffer, the mind does. -

If you notice the word suffering ends in -ing, just like walk-ing, danc-ing, talk-ing, ski-ing, laugh-ing. It's an activity. Do you call all those other activities a blessing. Maybe, but only if they've served a purpose for the body like make it stronger. You can also break your leg while skiing and stub your toe while dancing, was it a blessing then. So you see, it's all just activities and the blessing is only when it has served it's purpose within the story..... until it doesn't. -
Princess Arabia replied to AION's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah, only if you live in the mind, past and future which doesn't really exist. It's a blessing for the stories you tell yourself and the egoic structure. It's energy passing through that the mind holds unto and recontextualizes the thoughts that appear and rebuilds a new story.....until it collapses again and the loop continues. -
Trying to capture a vision through memory isn't the same as perceiving it in live action. Recalling a memory will have loopholes and not be remembered in the exact same way it was perceived. This is why eye-witness reports all have different stories. You're trying to hold on to what is ungraspable. It's very interesting what you've wrote here because it's a prime example how life cannot be captured and grasped. It is alive and kicking and each moment is a new moment and that's even saying too much as they're not really moments. It's always new. That car you look at is not the exact same car in the next moment, neither is anything else. When you had that vision, that was happening now, it will be slightly different trying to recall it through memory. Trying to use memory is also happening now but not the experience itself that you are trying to recall. This is why it will never be the same and why you lose it. This is why, knowledge, words, meaning etc are all concepts because they are thoughts and ideas about,.....not the real thing.

Go into your room, lock the door, turn off all technologies, close the curtains and shut out the world. That's solitude. The neighbors will still be there.

Ok, thanks.

@Leo GuraRegarding your latest blog post stating that Consciousness cannot be defined. Isn't the word "divine" a definitive word, yet you used it to define consciousness while also saying consciousness cannot be defined. Since consciousness is total and is everything, then according to your words, everything is divine - or not. Please explain.

Princess Arabia replied to Vercingetorix's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Nice. Now take this and realize that all your limiting beliefs, memories and traumas are also complete, everything and nothing. You just said it, so is it the neurosis and/or delusion game you're playing with yourself. The clues are everywhere, like I've said many times. Just gotta spot them. -
Princess Arabia replied to Vercingetorix's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
There are no opposites, period. It's just what is. If you say my answer is vague, or whatever you have to say about it, it's what is also. Period, end of story - and that's also a story. Anything anybody says will be a belief, which are also just thoughts. Go ahead and believe in all your stories because without your stories you're no one. Now, let's get back to reality and all the stories about it. -
Princess Arabia replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Sounds like the ego is trying to comfort itself. Knowing absolutely nothing is also KNOWING you know absolutely nothing. IOW, you're stating that you know something. Everything is ok, implies there's something that's not ok. The fact that you're saying that implies there's a thought that once believed everything was not ok. Sounds like a thought trying to comfort itself. "It's gonna be good in the end" implies there's a beginning and an end of which there is none, but only in the mind that created a beginning and an end. Everything is not you because that's duality. Do you look at a tree and say it's you. No. You only say this because you were told this. If you really believed this, you would have no problems and no need to stop doing anything you're doing because you would know it's you. Saying you don't need anything and is like saying the body doesn't need water to survive and you don't need air to breathe. The person you are talking to is not perfect and complete just the way they are. That's like saying the rose bud is perfect just the way it is and need not grow anymore. The apple tree as a seed is perfect the way it is and need no watering to grow to it's full potential. "Each atom in the cosmos follows the laws of physics"? That may be true, but I thought the atoms were me and the laws of physics was me, as in "everything is you". Everything as in what, the material things but not the abstract? I am the creator of reality? This Universe? How? Where is the thing that created the other thing. Where is the Universe?. You see, these words are empty. I know language is all we have and a way of communicating. What we communicate is essentially meaningless where this is concerned. It's only meaningful in the dualistic, relative world where it's all changeable and not permanent. Impermanence means not permanent, so the meaning of these words are also impermanent. Not knocking your efforts, only showing how it's not truth. Absolute Truth. They are only a representation of the Absolute. Nothing you or I say holds any weight. Why speak? There's no one speaking. Why anything? Because there's no one making that choice. Life is happening and there's nothing anyone can do about it. There is enlightenment within infinity. Infinity is everything, enlightenment is a concept within infinity. If I'm everything then I'm already enlightened. Who is there to know what enlightenment is if everyone is everything. -
For men and women.

The only thing that exist, doesn't need to be enlightened. The unchangeable doesn't need to be enlightened. The permanent doesn't need to be enlightened. This world is an illusion, a mirage, which is also real but only within the realms of the illusion. A magic trick of a woman getting sliced in two is an illusion but the illusion is real, in that sense. It's a real illusion. A rainbow is not really there and cannot be grasped, it's still a rainbow and a real rainbow. It's colors reflecting to appear as a rainbow. Nothing here is really real, so how can enlightenment be really real. It's only real as in the sense that everything else also appears to be real. Take away the world, enlightenment goes with it, take away the world, what remains is what's always present and what's aware that the world no longer exist. Something is aware of the world and that something will also be aware of the "no world". Awareness is all there is, and Awareness is also aware of the one claiming to be enlightened. What does the world consist of, everything that is forever changing. Nothing real ever changes, nothing unreal exists. -

This is like saying the cat recognizes it's a cat. The cat doesn't see itself as a cat. The I doesn't see itself as an "I". The "I" doesn't think, thinking happens. There is no Universe, there only appears to be a Universe. Who is the one that realizes enlightenment. The one that doesn't exist or the one that does. The one that doesn't, cannot realize anything but only within the realms of it's own illusion and will also be illusory. and the one that does cannot know it's enlightened. To know you're enlightened means separation because knowledge IS separation. Who is the one knowing. If all there is is mind, enlightenment has to be within the activity of mind, which by definition, it isn't and is a contradiction. -

Ah, shush. Nothing is happening. Kidding. 😅 -
Lemongrass sauce for cooking. To food processor add finely chopped lemongrass, garlic, thyme, scallions, ginger, lemon or lime juice, parsley, red pepper flakes, s&p. Process pouring in olive oil through the spout until smooth. Finish in blender for a smoother consistency. Rub over fish, chicken or vegetables and cook. Baked, grilled or pan fried. Gives a nice flavor to whatever cooking.

When I say this, people respond saying "drop a hammer on your foot and see if nothing happens🤣". This fucking reality shit is bat crazy. Nothing happening, but it appears to be. I understand it, but it's still wild. It's so obvious nothing is really happening when you realize what Infinity is. -
Very good interview. Lots of useful information regarding toxic chemicals in foods and household products.

Your inner being. Bask in your own beingness. That is what you're really searching for. You'll deny it, of course. -
Princess Arabia replied to Razard86's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You might have a point there. Can't fill on an empty cup. Can't give what you don't have.
