nice one thank you ... reading nisargadatta yields some beautiful start of day prayers

consciousness has shacked up at the house of ego but better not get overly attached to bricks and mortar it desires to expand in every direction to every molecule with every move grafting its parts together is called love and can be done in one swoop rather than one lifetime

am happy to take my chances, am not particularly attached to this dream, i will forge ahead in the direction i am going regardless

all completely true but takes lifetimes to arrive at this realization or at least a large chunk of a current one yet there are ways to extricate from the dream ... sure they are not necessary but they do the job

for me the path is to turn explanations into experiences at which point you are the captain of the ship and everyone else is gravy

the finger isn't the moon right? i am here solely for fun, i do inner work each morning but here and youtube is just relaxation for me its social more than spiritual of course i share some insights and pick up a few nuggets but what matters is what i do alone

@Carl-Richard non duality isn't a truth to be absorbed but a reality to be experienced as such it cannot be done in a group but only one by one

is religion hierarchy? and is spirituality seeking the kingdom of heaven within which can only be done alone i didn't get this from a book or from culture, this is me just teasing out the dualities as best i can

i don't understand," your more general worldview given to you by your culture"

religion is hierarchy; while spirituality assets i am my own authority spirituality however has to begin with religion since when you are young you have to take things on faith then if so inclined you have to find someone to trust if you just believe them that is religion; if you realize for yourself this is spirituality because religion is hierarchy it is about groups, one is the leader one is the follower spirituality on the other hand is about the individual and as explained is the outgrowing of religion

this is the best sprong book imo ... he brings non-duality to the gospel of john a trully fascinating labor of love https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fourth-Gospel-Tales-Jewish-Mystic/dp/0062011316

read john sprong or bernadette roberts to get the real jesus and to untwist chritianity

i would say religion needs two and spirituality needs one jesus wasn't interested in starting a religion but in finding the kingdom within

religion is my god is better than your god and i am going to try to help you understand spirituality is i am going to do me and keep tweaking whatever anyone or religion tells me so that it works for me and i will leave others be until and unless asked

no chrisitian wants you in their building, you are corrupting and dangerous, you are not willing to embrace their one true god you are a wolf in sheep's clothing and deceiving innocent well-meaning people under the banner of open mindedness and love you are not welcome and will be barred as soon as you are exposed

if you like IFS and Alexander Technique i will recommend you check this site and if it resonates you can set up face to face with the author: https://lovingawakening.net/

i suggest for basic stuff to ask chat-gpt so you are more on her frequency ... there is one yt vid of her but until you are familiar with her it wion't make sense ... her autobiography detailing the 1st 20 years of her life and all the awakenings and disasters that took place is an easy and fascinating starting point https://ia601904.us.archive.org/20/items/roberts.contemplative-autobiography-of-the-early-years/roberts.contemplative-autobiography-of-the-early-years.pdf

read all the holy books so you know what everyone else is thinking and you can engage them in conversation meditation in the beginning is about cutting existence to no thing to no self to no mind to no experience, staring at a blank wall; mind hates this and won't let you do it for long so instead go read some books

its nothing to do with death, jesus likely didnt die on a cross, what is being communicated is ego death, jesus woke up after tending his wounds, read the links i posted, he is showing people how to die to self so you might realize your true nature, read Robert's The Real Christ here is some of Robert's perspective courtesy of chat-gpt: Bernadette Roberts regards Jesus as an exemplar of the transformative spiritual journey, emphasizing his teachings and experiences as a model for individual self-discovery and union with the divine. In her writings, Roberts highlights the significance of Jesus' life as an illustration of the potential for ego transcendence, emphasizing his radical self-surrender and identification with the divine will. She interprets the crucifixion of Jesus as a symbol of the ego's crucifixion, where one's attachments, desires, and false identifications are willingly sacrificed in pursuit of deeper spiritual realization. Roberts views Jesus' resurrection as a profound event that signifies the possibility of transcending the limitations of the egoic self and experiencing a rebirth into a higher, more authentic mode of existence. She underscores the importance of personal, direct experience and inner transformation, suggesting that Jesus' life and teachings invite individuals to embark on a similar journey of inner exploration and self-realization. Roberts offers a unique perspective on Jesus' teachings, seeing them as pointing towards a state of consciousness beyond the ordinary egoic perception, encouraging followers to move beyond superficial religiosity. She highlights Jesus' emphasis on the Kingdom of Heaven within, suggesting that his teachings call for a shift in focus from external rituals to an inward journey of self-discovery and communion with the divine. Roberts suggests that Jesus' intimate relationship with God exemplifies the potential for direct and unmediated union with the divine presence, emphasizing a personal and immediate connection with the sacred. She explores the idea that Jesus' life represents a radical transformation from a human perspective to a divine identity, illustrating the possibility of realizing one's true nature beyond the confines of the ego. Roberts encourages readers to engage with Jesus' story as a metaphorical and experiential guide for the spiritual journey, offering insights into the profound shifts and realizations that can unfold when the ego is transcended.
