Yeah, I know. I've seen the channel. Rose and Jim says it too. So do I.

The body is an object. It's being used to generate feelings. There's no difference paying for a car and paying for a body but only the meaning given to it. You're objectifying everyday using other people's bodies. Just maybe not for a feeling of sexual gratification. Were actually paying for a feeling.

Lol. Love that. Hehe.

To be technical, that's still a somebody claiming to be a nobody.

However much you're imagining it to be.

What is meant by imaginary. It's not that you are imagining things but that there is no you. (yeah, yeah, here we go again). Doesn't matter, as there's no one reading this anyway, it's just writing and reading happening. Anyway, as I stated above, the I am is the dream; the I am is imagination itself. Imagination is imagining. That's what it does by definition. When someone says you're imagining everything, what they're really saying is imagination is imagining everything. Just as the eye sees, the ears hear, the tongue tastes (but not really), imagination imagines. Imagination doesn't imagine itself just as the eyes doesn't see itself. This is why there's no one that knows it's imagining anything. You were told this, and now it's a belief a concept and knowledge. There is no imagining of.....just simply imagination happening. The Absolute appearing as imagination. The sense of I am, doesn't realize it's not there so everything that arises that it claims and owns it's simply imagination doing it's thing. There's no one doing it, it's imagination imagining. The I just claims it to be (after being taught by it's imaginary teacher...the body is there, but it imagines there's a teacher inside that body) to be the one that's imagining just as it claims everything else. The stories are imagination storying, the ideas are imagination idea-ing, the concepts are imagination concept-ing, the IAM is imagination I AM-ing. This explanation is to simply point out what it means when it's said that life is imaginary and that you are imagining things. It's not to say that life is actually imaginary and that everyone is actually imaginary. It's saying that there is no you and there are no others ,everything around you that is claimed by the ficticious you is imagination itself imagining. So, when someone says you are imagining that wall, it's the Absolute appearing as someone saying you're imagining that wall. Now you believe that you're imagining that wall when all that is happening is imagination occurring and you claim it to be your imagining. There's no such thing as imagination, just as there is no such thing as a brain or a mind or reality. All there is is imagining, braining and realitying. They are all appearances. When something happens, a story then is told about that happening. The story is imagination telling that story. Notice how nothing can be said about anything until something happens first. Can you tell a story about something that didn't happen. I'm speaking of something that you believe happened to you. Yes, we can make up stories and there is story-telling, but I'm not referring to that. Everything in your life that happens to you, there's a story that goes along with that. That's what's imaginary. Not the thing that happened. The thing that happened really happened and is not imaginary. What's imaginary, is the story being told by imagination itself. That's what it does. My writing this is not imaginary. What's imaginary is that I believe someone will read this. There's no one to read this. Yes, reading may happen, but the imagination is the belief that I, the fictious I, is writing something that someone will read. That's what life is imaginary means. Life is apparently happening with no imagination. What's happening is imagination appears to be a part of the dream of separation; and dream is the same as imagination which is the same as the separate self, which is the same as experience, which is the same as knowledge, which is the same as awareness, which is the same as consciousness, which is the same as everything claimed and owned by the I. Note: This, and everything i write in this journal, is not a teaching. It is what I've come up with based on what I BELIEVE to be the case. It is not a knowing or what I have or can prove. This is why it's over here in a journal and being written for myself by myself. I may refer to "you" as if I'm speaking to you and trying to tell you something that I know to be true, but it's what language does, and I sometimes write as if I'm telling someone something. I could be delusional, wrong, or just plain insane so read at your own risk and take nothing I say as truth other than the obvious fact that it was said.

What is the dream: The I AM is the dream. The energetic contraction in the body that arose at a particular apparent age, maybe 6-9 yrs old that senses that it's a separate self and I am here and everything is over there. Everything that appears and arises within that apparent awareness is seen as something in relation to it. I am seeing a tree, I am smelling coffee, I am walking, I have a relationship, i can hear the radio, i am, i have, i can, i know, i think, i feel, i, i, i, i, i. Everything now becomes separate and that sense of separateness is what's driving that energy to want. It wants to become. It needs, it desires. What comes with that is a sense of feeling, feeling of lack, feelings of isolation, feelings of desperation, loneliness, hunger (the body feeds itself, the I am feels the hunger), feeling horny (the body goes through it's own cravings, but the I am feels it owns it and now it claims to be the one horny) and so on and so forth. This sense of separateness is where the suffering comes in. Separation and suffering are identical. Can't have one without the other. It then looks to objects to try and ease the suffering; it's temporary relief as the suffering continues because those objects are just objects irregardless of the separate individual. No relation at all because they're not separate. So it continues to seek for more. It attaches to everything in it's dream and tries to hold on to things. It can never hold on or grasp anything and things are always slipping away which causes it to grasp for more. It then tells stories about what appears so as to make the dream make sense (sense-making), but anything that doesn't make sense to it, it curses and that becomes the enemy. It constructs a whole identity around itself because there are circumstances and experiences that occurs to fit well into the dream, it can't help but to see it's reality to be solid, purposeful, valuable and it then claims autonomy of it's life. It's amazing how this happens. It's like magic; it's indescribable, it's fucking genius. It's nothing, really; but it appears just as real as a nightly dream with feelings, images, and a sense of an I. Now, a world is born, a life is being lived......until it's not.

There are benefits to raw and cooked; depending on the vegetable. @cistanche_enjoyerreally broke that down well.

Nothing sexier than a skinny scrawny man in the kitchen making a salad with nutritious raw vegetables topped with over-fried organic pasture-raised chicken puss. Yummy!!! 😆

Please be more clear. Not sure what you're asking.

ALL I WANT: All I want is to want for nothing. To make desiring for anything go away. To not want anything from life. To not want to know anything, to become anything, to be anything, to be wanted or desired. All I want is to not even want these things because they are still desires and wantings. It seems to be a trap. A trap and a cycle that can never end. To want or not want is the same thing because not wanting is the wanting to not want. To not wanting to desire is still a desire. I don't want to feel abundant, I don't want to feel lack. I just don't want to feel. I don't want to know, I don't want to not know. I don't want to live, I don't want to not live, I just want to live for nothing. For no reason. I don't want a purpose, I just want to not need a purpose. I want to just be for being sake. All I want is to experience what nothing is really like. What nothing really feels like. If I feel empty inside, that's still something. That's an empty feeling. It's still feeling something. There's no escape. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I don't have to face anything, accept anything. Surrender to anything. Become anything. Everywhere I go I'm there. There's no escaping me. All I want is not the end of me but for me to not want, to not desire, to not feel, to not become, to not see, to not hear, to not touch, to not taste, to not experience to not think, to not know, to not do, be, or become anything. I don't want to die; I just want to not be alive. All those things make me alive. When I'm asleep, I'm dead to what I want and desire. Then I wake up to wanting and desiring again. All I want is to not be asleep or awake. It's impossible. I cannot get what I want. What I want is more wanting. More desiring. I cannot not want. Not wanting is also wanting. Life is just about wanting and more wanting. It's not about more, it's about wanting. All I want is to not want, so therefore, i can never get what I want.

You're trying to find a "best system" on what's spontaneously happening. If you develop a system, then something or someone that appears to you that doesn't fit into that system will be overlooked. It's best to just prepare yourself, have a mindset that anything is possible, recognize great advice and develop your personality to try and attract what you want instead of approaching it systematically. Logic and dating doesn't really go hand in hand, especially when trying to meet someone. Afterwards, when trying to look for compatibility and knowing what you want, is where that falls into play.

You're trying to find something that isn't there. This kind of response to life will drive the neurosis even further. Not sure what you expect to find or what you think non-duality VS duality looks like. Neither can be applied. It's already not separate. The expression of life will appear dual. Learn to not be so anal about the duality and recognize there's already wholeness and completion. It can't really be recognized but the separation can be seen to be illusory. You're complaining about a talent show competition that's meant to be entertainment and fun. That says more about your ego than those in the show. Lighten up, loosen up a bit. All there is is wholeness as it is. "Tired of duality everywhere"? It's all you'll see If there's a seer. Duality stems from non-duality so how can anything that appears be nondual in appearance? There's an energy there that needs to loosen up.

Don't know, but this just seems backwards; like it's the other way around. First week fast because it's new and second week slower. Also life can feel short if constantly doing different things. Instead of on autopilot, it's spontaneity.

Of course, including yours and mine and everyone else's. Such an ego trip. Ugg. You go away and come back wanting everybody to just listen to what you say and calling people's ignorance to something evil. Not once since I've been on this forum have I seen you asked a question. All you do is come here to say what you think you know about God and Reality and everyone should just shut up and listen to the master guru of the forum. No one knows everything and everybody is still trying to figure this shit out; but not you, you know everything and no one here can tell you otherwise. Such arrogance and narcissism. You're the most delusional one here, but because you sound like you know what you're talking about, no one will notice. How can an illusion be deconstructed; it's an illusion, which means it's not really happening. This doesn't even makes sense. What is a perfectly honest mind. Thoughts just arise spontaneously without anyone actually doing it and no one can create a mind because there's no mind. If all is mind, then where is the mind. It's like saying create water where there is already water. Yes, so there is no source.

Ok. Nice.

Lmao

Whatever that means. There is no plant separate from the seed. There's no post separate from me. There is no plant or seed or post separate from me. There's nothing separate from anything. It's all Absolutely nothing appearing as everything. There's no source from which anything came. Everything is the source. So therefore, there is no source. Don't like, don't agree, that's fine. I write what I feel to be the case. Why should I put down what I feel to be the case because you said differently.

A fantasy doesn't necessarily equate to desire. A desire is something wished or hoped for to become a reality; for something to happen in one's experience. A fantasy is something one may use to generate a desired feeling and not necessarily want it to come to fruition. One can only be violated if they felt a boundary was broken, felt as if a line was crossed or was disrespected. Having a rape fantasy doesn't make a woman feel violated because it was of her own doing. Please get these distinction in their proper perspectives so as to not be mislead and thinking things that are just a product of your imagination. A desire to BE violated is different from a fantasy that suggests violation. Also, actually killing people has nothing to do with a fantasy; now it's a reality with serious consequences and is a far cry from having rape fantasies. Most of the time a woman will only act out those fantasies with someone they know or has already had sexual encounters with as a role play.

For there to be a Source, there has to be at least two. Something and it's Source, There's but only the Absolute which has no Source. This is direct. Space and time are illusory so therefore nothing is really created. This is Absolute directness. Being, (for a better word). Creation is an appearance and since the post is about what can and cannot be proven and what needs to be the only thing known, then it is misleading because nothing can be really known without space, time and a subject/object. Your proof that God can be proven were only words that serves the one showing the proof and not the one hearing or seeing it because what you've stated was still just a matter of perception and belief and not Absolute facts of which there are none because there are no Absolute facts in directness Saying "God is it's own proof itself" still doesn't lead us to the proof because that's just a matter of what you believe to be the case. I'm not saying what you've written isn't the case, but there was nothing there that showed proof of anything and only what you believe is the only thing that needs to be known. What I've written also is just a matter of what I believe to be the case and can only be grasped and understood by the one that thinks it's separate from Reality and that it is here separate from out there. Bottomline is, this is Absolutely unknowable and anything known is illusory and cannot be grasped without a separate sense of self so how can it be true in the Absolute sense. Without that separate sense of self everything is just simply what is without a knower.

My vegetarian meal for the day. Sautéed Mushrooms, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Red Peppers, Red Onions and Garlic. Sautéed in Coconut Oil. I put the Broccoli 🥦 and Brussel Sprouts in first for 5mins then the rest. I added S&P and Italian Seasoning. Served over a bed of Garlic Mashed Potatoes and topped with Fried Plantains. Delish.

Where is this. What country do you live in. It has some very beautiful places. Your pictures are lovely.

Yes, I'm the same way also. I'm not saying to accept it though, more to understand where it's coming from.

I'm starting to learn and understand that I have to be careful how I project my own beliefs unto the world. Sometimes it's my own thoughts I'm projecting unto others and could be wrong about how I perceive them. If it's very obvious that it's racially motivated, then I turn it around and just tell myself it's coming from ignorance and that they're also projecting from a belief. It's not true and doesn't need to make me upset because that means i believe in what they're saying or even that there's a possibility that it could be true.
