There is no end to anything, just as there's no beginning. Try all you want you will not find it on either end; not even on the relative scale. This is why the pursuit of anything is futile, it will not last. I'm not saying do not pursue, just realize there will always be an opposition to avoid which is also a pursuit. This is infinity and it plays out in everything.

The same energy that sees Ramana Maharshi as an enlightened being is the same energy that sees Bo Dick as stupid. Take that energy out and neither exists as anything labelled or in a category. Ramana Maharshi's legacy lives on only as an idea. It isn't real. It was, or will be does not exist.

I keep telling you there's no you already. Life shows us this from time to time but it cannot be seen because the fictitious you is always at the forefront of everything that appears. Drop the you and it's simply an emotion that's arising but for or from no one. This isn't a lessen to be learnt or taught only intuited or sensed. This is why there's no understanding of this. What do you think the ego is. Go investigate that. A bunch of stories, ideas, ideologies, beliefs that are run by emotions.

Yes, I agree with that. The pursuit of happiness, though, is a different thing because pursuit is not the same thing as a response. One cannot be happy regardless of circumstances through a process or practice as there is no guarantee now the body will respond in unexpected circumstances one has never been confronted with before.

There's an emotion that notices that.

The more one chases happiness, the more miserable/sad they'll become.

It's a 3hr+ long video and I haven't watched it all just yet, but I wanted to put this here since it's in theme with the topic and of high quality information. Anyone interested can bookmark or save it for future reference and watch/listen to it at your own leisure which is what I intend to do. I think this guy's channel is full of quality information that is worth the watch.

I loved this video. He broke it down in such a way where perspectives change to see it from an angle never seen before, at least for me. Anything that allows for a new way of seeing things that wasn't perceived in that way before and shows a broader scope of things, for me, is always welcomed; and he did just that. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for posting. I believe it's this very same thing that causes most people grief and feelings of insecurities. We expect too much from ourselves when the very mediocrity of our experiences is what can make for exceptional results because of less disappointments and the reaching of goals more easily attained when they're not coming from a place of trying to out-do others because of comparison.

Doesn't matter, it's always the absence of a thing that makes something else present.

Cannot pursue happiness and succeed. Happiness is not conditioned to human's pursuit. It is it's own thing and arises on it's own. It isn't worth pursuing because it's the very act of pursuing it that keeps it away. How can something be there and one still pursues it. It's because it's absent, right. So pursuing implies it not being there. How is that worth it.

The only reason why you feel depressed at times and suffer is because of the absence of that feeling of relief. When it's present, depression and suffering is gone.

Doesn't matter, I'm just saying that's all happiness is if it's fleeting.

Ok, so shame finds you anyway even though it's avoided. Envy and hate and sadness finds you anyway even though we tend to avoid those. We seek out happiness but somehow that one tends to want to not cone around as much. The only one we seek out avoids us like the plague but the others seem to constantly find us.

No, relief is felt from the tension that is stored in the body,

Is there envy to be found through different approaches. Is there shame to be found through different approaches. Is there sadness to be found through different approaches. Answer that.

Leave Leo alone 😜😜

Yes, that's what I mean. I tried to find the yt video but couldn't. Someone here had brought this up about a year or so ago and posted the video. I forget the exact circumstances.

God isn't anything. "It" is nothing. All energy. It's everything and nothing. The everything isn't really there but only to an observer. We won't go through that again. God isn't both simultaneously. Go to sleep God emerges, wake up, the you emerges. God doesn't actually emerge. It is always there. The you is what seems to mask it.

"I am not human", isn't saying there's no I am. It is saying there is an I am, but it's not human.

No because there is no I am.

Human construct is energy.

All There Is/The Absolute

Energy is nothing. Same thing. All is energy. Energy can appear as anything including contracted. When a feeling of a you is sensed in the body, it's energy that seems to be contracted, tense, tension is felt in the body to feel itself as a person but it's not really happening.. This is why the sense, which is the seeking energy, seeks for relief, relief in objects, whatever that is. Happiness, spirituality, materialism, even truth, all of it is being saught as a way to relieve this tension. Even monks seek relief by isolating themselves. It's seeking in disguise.

When I say you were borne I meant the you that's sensed. Not literally. Just as how a rainbow appears from lights and reflections and however else that makes it seem like it's really there. Can't grab a rainbow because it's not really there only seems to be. Same thing. The sense of self only seems to be there but it isn't. It's contracted energy, just as the rainbow is reflected light. It is nothing. If it were something it couldn't be anything and everything.

You're correct. Existence is everything but also nothing. Nowhere doesn't have a location. It's timeless. Nothing as in not a thing, no qualities, no boundaries, no location, no center, no anything, this is how it becomes everything. But they everything is appearance only and only visible to an observer. Go to sleep and see if there's anything there. Nope. That's existence. That's the nothing i speak of. The sense arises out of that and now you're borne. Go back to sleep, nothing, zilch, nada.
