There is no sadness and badness and madness Don't delude yourself Disabuse yourself of illusions Don't confuse this fake reality here with the real thing You only know happiness as nothing else exists

Just beware of any spiritual ego popping up Here is a beautiful thread you may enjoy reading from a person who went all the way: https://www.reddit.com/r/nonduality/comments/1gg1f6p/my_search_has_ended_ask_me_anything/

Two wrongs always make a right right?

Subscription models are I deserve a job for ever vs. Pay me for what I do The rich thief leverages the former to steal from the poor normie Everything in life is best done for a one time payment, one year term Any longer is preying on the innocent

Was trying to say that you are no different from them Be compassionate as you look on their muddled thinking and be grateful that you can look down from a lofty mountain peak

Everyone is a blood sucking parasitic maggot. Everyone is the absolute made manifest. Be what you will in this one brief gift of an incarnation but look on everyone as another chance to see god in action and as a light-filled reminder of your true nature and ultimate destiny

You're a cold calling used car salesman slime ball which is fine provided you're just roleplaying and not addicted End does justify the means I say

Just some semantic distinctions: Sacrifice indulgence. happiness sadness, samsara nirvana, pain pleasure etc are fleeting experiential dream states The unlimited state is peace joy love - sat chit ananda - truth existence oneness

Note that you are referring to relative reality here Absolute reality meanwhile is your true self and the source, silence, stillness, substance of reality

Nice to at last meet you here, my dear teacher 🥰

Glad you enjoyed too. He shared quite an extraordinary story and writes beautifully. You can see his back story on Reddit too if you browse his profile. He has had his demons. Surprised me that he opted for a Japanese monastery after coming so far. Then again if you know the truth then why not do something fun. Especially if you have a partner who is of one mind with you.

My realization is that the absolute is the highest peak and that this reality is ever accessible, even as I engage with the everyday concerns and joys of life. The challenges and beautiful moments I experience are no longer seen to be distractions from my true essence but opportunities to merge into it. My true purpose and nature isn't found only in rare and divine moments; they now flow spontaneously into daily life as I have learned to hold lightly all the worries and attachments, all the while honoring their presence. What I behold in the beautiful interplay of the relative is a reflection of that supreme underlying unity - each moment and each connection triggers something deeply real within me, gently locking me deeper into the wholeness that’s always been mine.

Yes. And it's a choice. The only true free will there is. A rubbish existence or a ravishing one. Should I return to my palace or stay in this mud hut. When one returns, one realizes it was all a drunken idea that was corrected as soon as it was entertained. Time and space seem so fixed and solid but they are just stubborn remnants of madness. Nobody will choose the moment they remember what they are doing. Most who have lived don't realize they have this choice. Spirituality is being a light unto yourself. Religion is being the light of the world.

While I see that ego does reflect aspects of the absolute in its essence, it also acts as a filter that impedes pure awareness with experience of separation, deception, and violence. To recognise the absolute means looking beyond the ego's illusions to align with the unchanging essence behind it. This essence is shared by all, and seeing this allows us to experience an enduring, unifying presence within all interactions. Therefore the challenge ISN'T to see the absolute within the relative, but rather in not getting lost in the ego’s projections, which distort perception. Through this inner clarity the absolute can become unmistakably visible in the relative world.

The ego is conflicted, inconsistent, dysfunctional, hell-bent on lies and unable to understand or question. The absolute meanwhile is the realm of love, and innocence, grandeur and fulfilment. We are designed for greatness. We tried to get away from what we are but it was always a non-starter. This here is not happening and never could.

I will concur and say you have to do the most you can while apparently a relative being. All the while be normal be ordinary and be sensible. Then the absolute will take the reins on your behalf. What your role is, is to see the meaninglessness, the unimportance, the unsatisfactoriness of this ill-conceived and unfruitful realm. And thereby arrive to openness beyond it. This is characterised by joy and elation and fulness of light. Just shine and share this as long as the whole deigns fit. I would say that embracing an absolute perspective in no way means we will justify harm or downplay destructive actions. Instead, it means recognizing that beyond behaviour, everyone is part of the same unchanging essence. The transient relative blinds us to reality because it’s focused on forms, labels, and judgments. When aligned with the absolute, we see beyond any surface distinctions and experience the oneness that underlies all differences, bringing unconditional compassion and understanding that holds true for all.

Yes these are some banging pointers. Limits are simply the belief that you are confined to a body, bound by its physical boundaries and constraints, which restricts your awareness from extending beyond it. This perception of limitation creates the illusion of separation and the duality that fuels all conflict, fear, and chaos. In truth, this is an error - a mistaken identification with an imaginary self, bound by personal interests and isolated from others. To overcome this illusion, shift your focus from self-interest to a vision of unity and abundance. Recognize that your true essence is not confined to the body or personal identity; rather, it is limitless, expansive, and part of a collective awareness. Aligning with this truth allows the healing of blockages and illusions that obscure your deeper nature. As these blocks dissolve, you open to the boundless substance beneath the surface, the formless essence that you truly are. This journey toward unity is both the path and the goal. By remembering your oneness with all, you transcend the limits imposed by the body, allowing you to awaken to the awareness of your true nature - unchanging, eternal, and whole. Here, you no longer seek or strive; you simply are. This realization is the end of the illusion and the recognition of your inherent freedom and peace.

Absolutely correct. This is knowledge. It is arrived at by undoing all the knowing one thinks one has. Like you say, relative knowing is meaningless and will trick you that you understand what is going on. Finite understanding is a game of futility. Emptying and being and seeing are what work. Nothing can be more simple, more obvious, more perfect. Well done on your extraordinary articulation in this thread. Every letter and phrase resonates to the bone. Thank you.

It is more than your life is worth to confront this You will be crucified and hung out to dry Put your energy into something that can yield returns

Society will never green light it - at least for many millennia It is too traumatizing triggering toxic tumultuous to be part of social discourse Paedophiles are the modern day lepers Never to be seen, never to be discussed, never to be thought about, never to be given an inch of licence in the world People are scared if this topic is given air-time that paedophilia would thereby be more and more normalized Over my dead body, will be most people's response to that scenario

I can choose nice or electrifying Why would I settle for blah and dull? I deserve the world Shape up or ship out My dreams will be fulfilled

That'd be putting a thoroughly enlightening spin on intoxication. I'd be out the door, out the sky and out the universe before any stool-pigeon knew different. Fair exchange is no robbery, right? And if you don't make it home in one piece I say you can pin the blame on @Someone here

I somewhat agree The problem is thinking one knows what the world is about This needs to be undone to become free and innocent and receptive This I call forgiveness and may bring one to what you call emptiness Your thoughts and ideas are often difficult to follow You have enthusiasm and excitement and want to convey it quickfire style I understand maybe one third of what you write Even so you are for me the most valuable and the most credible contributor to this forum
