Yes form and formlessness. And then there is the absolute from which these spring.

Nothing is a pointer to what I am in the dream. I am nothing that mind has a clue about and nothing that can be observed or measured. Inside of that nothing exists the absolute everything.

For me consciousness is the dream. There is beyond the dream too but not for a body mind ego. Consciousness begins and consciousness ends.

There is duality where most live then there is non-duality where a few arrive. Non-duality is "better" in the same way that if everything becomes seen as love that's better than coursing to and fro between love and hate. But non-duality is still a duality and not it. Non-duality is better also because sitting as love you have the chance for the all to scoop you up.

My take here is, however bad another treats you, that is YOUR karma coming to pay you back for all the bad stuff you committed even in previous lives. How you react determines whether this karma stays or goes. If you are no longer triggered, these bad behaviours from others will cease. Your enemies will become your brothers and you will awaken to truth. The truth is that anything that happens I am doing to myself through reinforcing of karma. Forgive everyone for they know not what they are doing.

Everything is equally false in this time-honored illusion. There is no better or worse. It has to be seen to be an illusion and then swiftly exited. True is the absolute realm which cannot entertain notions of falseness or else it wouldn't be true. The absolute is ignorant of this world but perfectly accepting of our desire to dream up new frontiers. This world is a needless yet easily correctable deviation from what we are. You are simply mistaken, my brother, but there is another way of seeing available.

That nobody has a clue. This is the most crushing truth to discover. Every minute of life up to that point had been an utter waste. Now I could get serious for the first time.

He is going over your head. His pointers are spot on and as good as you will find. You and Peter need to go deeper in my humble opinion.

Truth is in fact the worst thing ever. All my hopes and plans and dreams and lovers and legacies and largess got flushed down the toilet. But that's okay because that's just from an ego perspective. All that I was taught about this world is pie in the sky. There is a much better reality sitting in the wings as soon as I'm ready. (There is true there is false and there is TRUE. TRUE is that everything here is false no matter how true it seems - bar one thing namely me. The world isn't anything except a fanciful thought I had and just as quickly let go of.)

Your musings have been brilliant lately and they lift me greatly. They mirror what I know as the case. As for 5meo, I haven't been able to incorporate this as it's not available in the UK. Some day I will cross this bridge.

Haha no alas. Haven't meditated this year. Dealing with some toxic painful stuff so meditation needed to be paused. I am able to bring awareness with me most always. For 3 years I did 3 hours sitting each morning and it brought me a long way. I feel jaded and depleted at the moment. So I have no idea when I'll be back at it. Am in a huge transition phase with my life at the moment. When I get re-settled I will pick up again.

Some of us appreciate and endeavour brother

The reason we view the world as lying is because we are lying to the world. I would deal with this before thinking of dating.

I prefer old to young. Young is dumb and old is bold. Young you have to listen and follow and believe, Old you can assert yourself authentically and not give a shit. The young have to impress to get anywhere. The old can be true to themselves for the first time. The young cannot love only the old can. Only when you know you have less breaths left than already breathed can you see things correctly, namely tomorrow never actually comes so do everything today or forget about it. Only the old can be grateful for life. Not everyone gets the gift of the second half of life.

Fear is the assertion I can be harmed and thus in looking for it anywhere fear is the tool for awakening to safety. I need to seek out the most fearful situations for example someone who is angry at me and defuse it skilfully. I understand your anger but it is wholly unnecessary since I declare you my brother not my enemy. You anger poisons you and not me.

Everyone in my life are those I warred with in previous lifetimes. You are my enemy and I desire to keep you firmly under my thumb. I raped you brutally and now I carry pepper spray awaiting your attack. The work is to turn the enemy into a brother. Absorb the fear the world is pummeling me with and turn it into love. You are my life lesson and you are no threat to me if seen right. Making everyone brother is called bringing heaven to earth. Everyone in life brings only two attitudes: a cry for love or a call from love. Interpret every interaction correctly and act accordingly to transform the past to the future.

Fear is inevitable since dropping identifying with the body mind after investing a lifetime in it is horrifying My life has been for naught, the person will exclaim. No! You are awakening to what you really are.

God is that which experiences supreme joy forever and ever. In this absolute state of perfection, there is nothing that needs adjustment or intervention by God or its creations. Who are its creations? God delights in extending itself, creating expressions of its own infinite nature. To extend itself is to share its limitless being without constraint or boundary. God naturally grants its creations sovereignty and free will, for creation without freedom lacks the vitality of true joy. This freedom ensures a reality that is dynamic and alive, not static or dull. Yet, within this freedom, one of God's creations is free to entertain a seemingly rogue thought: What if I could separate from the Oneness, from the limitless and the Allness? This thought imagines being the creator of a separate, limited reality. It is a fleeting idea, contemplated in the dream of sleep. Yet, as soon as it arises, it is recognized for what it is - a ludicrous impossibility in the face of the perfect wholeness of where one truly resides. The thought is effortlessly dismissed, and the imagined, fragmented universe vanishes like mist under the light of truth. Dreaming, then, is but an innocent and transient misunderstanding - an ill-conceived thought in the mind of one of God's creations. No harm is done, for the dream is immediately seen as unreal. No time passes, for time itself is but an illusion. In truth, the Oneness remains untouched, and all is well, eternally.

Good to incorporate 30 day vacations from both into one's yearly planning and together ideally. Be sure and give everyone a heads up before checking out in such a manner.

Seems I need to become a zombie.

They are opposites. Empathy is I feel your pain and therefore I make your pain real. Your pain isn't real and thus you have been harmed by me. Compassion is I carry your apparent pain on your behalf. I take it away from you and thus you have been helped by me. Former keeps you stuck. Latter gets you beyond. Empathy is saying, I acknowledge what you are going through my friend. = pretty much worthless Compassion is saying, my friend there is another way. = pretty much priceless

My take is, anyone who has interest in the world is a fraud. The world is my past coming to life to see how I deal with it. I am not looking to keep on giving it energy. I have to learn that lesson and drop the significance of it being there. I am here for me. My breadcrumbs may be useful for you. But I am not fussed if you don't visit my ashram.

The 1001 things cannot be fully understood. This place doesn't have any logic. When Newton thought he cracked it along comes Einstein and proves there is something completely different in relativity. And as we know Einstein's approach doesn't come close to explaining it all. Nothing here can ever make sense. It is an idle hologram. Do what counts only.

We do spar on the regular. Gloves come off. But it always deepens understanding. We can both take good hits. And hints at the ultimate.
