you suffer because you take what's impermanent as permanent, what's ego as you and what you think as the truth you thought a world into existence and then wonder why you suffer when it's not all that

enlightenment is going from the subjective to the objective, i now have an infinite number of eyes to view from you are me

pain is a body holding on and not letting go suffering is a mind holding on and not letting go the former is futile, your body is crumbling every day, pain is telling you where so you can apply your pain patch to get through the day the latter is your problem but easily transcendable, letting go means to be a new person every day, yesterday's drama is all forgotten, today is a fresh chance to enjoy 24 full hours thus attachment is your problem, you think you're a person trying to put food on a table, drop every such story and do what you came here for

ego is my greed to be someone

did you try? ego for me is the pretence that others are here for me and the desire they affirm me by stroking me in sexual but also non-sexual ways every meditation moment culls ego towards that zero level if you dont want to meditate your way to ego death taking a vow of silence is just as good, online as well as offline

thought is creation, look at that tree, you created it by naming it a tree, otherwise there isn't a tree, when thinking stops universe stops

awakening is intimacy with the parts, enlightenment is integration of the whole awakening is, to be is to know but not conversely (i get to know stuff) enlightenment is, to know is to be but not conversely (knowing is superfluous)

best to drop ideas of god in fact drop all ideas, then you can see even be the god that surprise surprise is idea-less too bliss is when finite i am not, is what i found i brought back all the buzz words just for you so you too could get idea-less a buzz word i just coined btw

to be aware is absolute, to be aware of is relative meaning that you limited yourself when you see a tree, that's a lie an illusion a thought an empty appearance, all there is is awareness of the whole before you

God doesn't even know its name. To do so it needs to drop to duality and inhabit my mind

yea able may have been clearer

remember that mega thread about peter ralston, the jist was only the awakened know love all other love is manipulation possession gratification ostentation etc.

the relative is adding, the absolute is subtracting and speaking of math the relative is dividing the absolute is multiplying the relative is differentiation the absolute is integration (ie calculus)

if i awaken i help me and in this there is nothing i can do for you, my words and or my methods will be nothing to you if i understand i can help you, i don't need to help me since i understand the twist is if i help you to awaken in this way, i bring myself to greater awakening to bring the other to awakening is the only love in particular only the awakened are capable of love love is to resurrect your parts the part is what is awakened the whole is what is enlightened

god has never changed and knows not change change is time

replacing god is alone by god alone is, is helpful and means all that exists is god-ness with nothing else trying to infiltrate structure is division distinction duality ... and so there isn't any

if i didn't save you my work isn't yet done

i don't awaken for an ego but for all long lost limbs looking to surgically reattach i am an oracle a catalyst a hollow bamboo stick

theres two tracks survive&thrive and the one precludes the other happiness is survive while thrive is beyond the happiness unhappiness poles thrive is stuff like challenging, creative, curious, conscious, compassionate, calm you get the picture thrive does what's not been done all choose one or the other alas you cant change i say when you're no more you'll know more

lots of gems in nestor's book such as

ego indeed creates all that one sees but for god all that's just the abc's

correct did you notice one man being abused is another man being amused which is god - both for sure but they need a little work

yes deconstructing mind's constructions and that indeed is the only game in town ... good work man deconstruct in order to construct and vice versa, that is all the absolute is up to

nice one lol when you enter a room, it doesn't matter how you feel it only matters how they feel #nice is being n-eutral and i-ndifferent and c-alibrating and e-mpathic enough to stay in control and work it to get what you want you play nice you dont play fair which is what the fool does save authentic for people who know you well the opposite of nice is brash namely someone who thinks they are god's gift to the world and enters the room intent on convincing everyone thusly this isn't nice and few want such a person in their lives

seems dubious ... its reflection of course is
