Unclear. When answering questions or describing something?

This is where you'd like to get to - anyone that dreams of enlightenment. Let me give you a scenario. This man does exist, I'm just giving you my story of him. There's a mad man that walks the streets everyday. He may live somewhere, i'm not sure but he's fairly clean most of the time, a little worn and hair knotted but not all dirty and doesn't smell. (he's passed by me a few times). Every time I've seen this man, he's talking to himself - EVERYTIME. He just walks by everyone and keeps on talking and sometimes smiling with himself. He might look in the trash at times but he always has a shopping bag with him - maybe with food, not sure what's in it. I've been seeing him for about a year now in the same vicinity and sometimes in another city close by that he might have taken the bus to because it's too far to walk that distance. He's always by himself, he walks up and down and talks to himself, bothers no one and doesn't really look at anyone, like how we look at other people. He just seems to be in his own world, but it's obvious he's a bit off. People in the area knows of him and no one bothers him and he doesn't bother anyone. Just talks and smiles to himself all day. He wears different clothes, mostly like jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt, but it's not always the same ones. He does changes clothes, that's why I'm not sure if he lives somewhere or not. Point is, this man is obviously a bit off, most would describe him as a 'mad man'. He's not a bum nor is he just homeless looking for food, he's a bit off but he knows how to get dressed, knows that food may be in the trash, knows how to walk and find his way. He's never lost and I've seen him take the bus before so he knows how to do that where to get off etcetcetcetc. Once I seen him walking and there was snot running out of his nose but not hitting the ground and he was just walking as if it wasn't there. He walked back where I was standing and the snot kept going in and out his nose while he looked in the trash. He never looked my way or anybody's way, just into his own world. This man had no sense of a self. This man had no shame. This man didn't see other humans, just bodies walking around. . This man was like a baby, but in adult form. This man didn't sense himself but he was operating just like any other person meaning he wasn't walking in walls, he understood that food maybe in the trash, he knew where the busstop was, he has a sense of direction, every other sense but a sense of self. He didn't notice that snot just as a baby wouldn't wipe their own snot. A baby isn't going to crawl to a wall and bump into it wondering why he can't go through the wall. Why not? The body is operating itself. Just as this man's body is operating itself without him being there. If you saw this man, you would be able to tell he has no clue but he is still operating. That man is an enlightened being just as the rest of us. The difference is the sense of personhood is present in the rest of us. That man did nothing, that man doesn't even know he is crazy, he doesn't know he isn't there, hence when the sense of self falls away, there will be no one there to know it. Do you think if you ask that man these things he would even know what the hell you were talking about. No, he'd probably look you in the eye for a nano second and keep it moving as if you weren't even there. That man still functions, but without a human being there in that body, just like the rest of us - the difference is that sense is present in us but not him. There's nothing there in us, it's just a FELT SENSE. No shame or guilt or any sense of anything that humans feel only sense there was what the body needs to function. That snot is on it's own, nobody there that cares about it's presence. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DESIRING WHEN YOU DESIRE TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED. You want to be in the mad house. You want your absence. Well, you won't be there to know it just as this man isn't there, nor here nor anywhere. The only reason you're not like that man is because your sense of self is present and all the baggage that comes with that. Osho and sadguru aren't enlightened beings and any other sane operating guru. I say enlightenment is the case for everyone but that's not up for arguing here. My point is that the man I've explained in this post is a true representation of what enlightenment is but in it's raw state. A 'baby' in an adult body that just existed the womb of the Absolute and appeared as a mad man. You don't want to appear as that man, you want to keep appearing as your normal self. If you were to be that man, you wouldn't even know if you were coming or going much less enlightened.

There is no one dreaming. The person and the dream are one. The person is the dream. There is no person and the dream isn't happening.

Nice.

That's it, or somewhere along these lines. Only because you've spoken before. You're playing guessing games and no one on here can really know what's up because of limited info. Also, take Leo's advice. That's it. Move on. If she messages with a direct, let's go out, fine, if not...next. No need to try to figure her out, let her figure herself out.

We're all trying to feel better. To have better experiences. Nothing wrong with that, me too, just pointing it out. No matter what it is, it's an attempt to feel better. We add stories to what's being done to make it appear more meaningful and having other purposes other than just to feel better. Who wants to admit to themselves that they do things just for the sole purpose of feeling better. We have to make it meaningful and purposeful. Feeling better seems so vain and shallow. Plus we have this idea that no pain, no gain, so no one wants to admit that they're just wanting to feel better by doing enjoyable things, we have to also feel pain in order to feel better. That's the insanity the human carries on with. It doesn't realize it's not a separate entity and every one of it's attempt to feel better is a by-product of this sense. Even the attempt to put oneself through pain and suffering to get somewhere is an attempt to feel better about the painful experience. When one says that they're happy and enjoying their life, it's usually that they're enjoying so-called objects. The monks who are just sitting there and are content are also using something to attain this feeling. No difference, just in content. It's all seeking.

Spirituality is just spiritual materialism. Nothing special about it just in a different category, different labelling. Spiritual people are no more special than religious people, it's just on a different level and that level is illusory. One is no more or less delusional than the other. We can talk about religious people and their stupid practices, and they can talk about us and our stupid practices; neither is right nor wrong, both are what is. If you want to argue this, go ahead, if you want to come up with ideas and concepts about what's being said here, go ahead; won't change a thing. We are no more closer to or further away from God/Absolute than they are. Everything is immediate. No space. If you think you're any more special than anyone else on an existential level, then you're right, if you think your practices mean anything other than to you and your dreamworld, you're right; if you think you're getting anywhere other than where you appear to be, you're right. That's the beauty of the illusion and nothing being everything. Freedom is everything and is free to appear as being right. If I'd said you're wrong, then that would have been the case, but I said right so that's what is.

Because it takes great effort to achieve unnatural results for the body. The body doesn't know anything about these practices on a natural level so in order for it to be programmed it takes lots and lots of practices and repetition to program it. You don't need to constantly eat to know how to eat again and you don't have to run every day for the body to know how to run. All these practices require constant attention and effort because they are not natural workings of the body. The effects happen simply because of a response. The body responding to what it's being programmed with. A baby learns to walk in a very short amount of time, laughs, smile, teeths, waves, cry all these things are inherent and needs no practicing because they are natural to the body's functioning. These things you mentioned aren't, so it takes years and consistency to see results. I'm not saying they are not useful in certain ways and some results and effects can be very soothing to the body, but they are no more or less any different than any other body trainings, they are just on a different level and produce different results but nothing of any real meaning just as everything else, but only to the one interpreting them as such. Other people are doing other things to get other results for them and it's all a matter of subject/object relationship which really doesn't exist because there are no subjects and objects really only in appearance. It's all empty.

Ok. Still, you're a relationship machine. Still, seem to be doing something wrong....or right...depending on how one looks at it. Doesn't matter. You seem to attract them.

Yeah, but he said 10. So, if 2yrs x10 that's 20yrs of relationships without a break in-between and in succession. 2yrs to me isn't even long-term and anyone with 10 I doubt thinks that's long-term either. Anyway, seems like he's 80yrs old, lol. Exaggeration, of course.

Damn, how friggin' old are you. Those long-terms for you must have been between one and two years.

No, never heard of or seen her before. Checked her out, she's ok.

Wtf..

There's no one to dissolve into nothingness. Nothingness is all there is.

The separate seeking energy is, by nature, irritable and it seeks anything out to blame for it's irritations, e.g. thoughts. It goes to silence retreats to try and find a cure for it's irritability. It might work for a while, but irritability seems to come back. Thoughts are just happening just like birds are flying.

You go into a room and completely forget what you went into the room for. Ever happened to you, I know it happened to me a few times. It's because walking is just happening with no one in the driver's seat and the person forgets because memory wasn't being 'deployed' at the same time. Walking is happening, memory is happening, only walking happened in that moment. Nothing walking. Nothing wasn't being memory then, so the body got stuck, then it remembered, the absolute appeared as memory.

It's miraculous.

What is Reality. Trees, clouds, animals, air, the stop light, the road, birds, stones, the ocean, mountains, thoughts, ideas, concepts, a bicycle, a light bulb, food, water, a cup, urine, fish, a rose......i dunno, what is reality. AIR? What is it. God.? Me? Consciousness? What is it? Existence is nothing, but what is Reality? Something? How can Reality be known. Is there something outside of it to know it. Who is knowing it, is that a part of Reality as well. How do you grasp it. With the mind? Is the mind outside of Reality. Dunno.

What is God-Realization. I thought everything was God. I thought God was Nothing. How can nothing be realized. How can anything be really realized in Oneness and no separation. What would one see. If not seen with the eyes, what sense is used to realize God. Is God an object to realize. Who is realizing God. God is realizing itself. How is that possible. Anything is possible with God. Is the person realizing God. That seems like God would be limited to a position, time and space a thing to be realized. How does the process of realization happen. That requires time and space which doesn't really exist. Am I realizing my myself. How am I doing that. Psychedelic use. There's a process that has to take place. I thought God was timeless. Let me stop before I realize something I don't want to realize.

The body eats not you. Simple. Take the hand and put it on a plate and pick up a burger and put it in mouth. The body does that. Not you. Chop off both hands and the rest of the body still remains. Chop the legs off, the rest of the body remains. Pluck an eye out, take a kidney out, gall bladder, appendix, is that still you being hungry. Where is the you. Hunger is not an illusion, you are. Hunger happens, the illusory you claims it even with half of the you gone.
