When we talk about the end of suffering, we are referring to the end of psychological resistance to what is. It is perfectly possible, there have been many cases of cancer patients who are in peace, who accept their situation fully. confusing pain with suffering seems like a joke at the point in what it's supposed we are, it's obvious that they are different. btw, I always thought that adyasahanti was a fraud, like 99% of spiritual teachers, they are people with advanced notions of spirituality who struggle to get money

I am alive, being alive is pushing. I need many things, money, maintain my body, a house, etc. If you stop, you are dead. I can stop some hours a day and I try to stop my mind by meditation, but deeply, you are always in motion, being alive means that. You could go to a monastery, an ashram and stop pushing, abandon the world, the control, some people do, but I like to be on control, to push, and i also think that others feeding you is fake. you have to contribute . being able to make that attitude compatible with spirituality is possible but not easy. Inspiration

don't you differentiate between being awake now and remembering awakenings? Is awakening something actual for you or the accumulation of all the awakenings you have had so far?

Yes, I agree, but anyway you will always push in one direction. If you stop pushing, you're lost, or so it seems. You have to work in all fields as inspired and aligned as possible, but you have to work in one direction, always. life is movement. It is very likely that if you are able to stop completely, not wanting anything, you will reach much greater levels of clarity and depth, but it is not time for that yet. We still have to be connected, on the move. The challenge is to achieve the greatest clarity and depth while in motion.

The best It is what your intelligence tells you is best. No one can do it for you, only you can choose, and only your intuition can tell you the direction to take. Nothing is guaranteed, in the rat maze many paths have no exit. They lead to sadness, loneliness, depression, being trapped. human life is a hard game because mistakes usually are not paid for with death but with madness

Simply being realistic and looking for the best option

I understand what you say but realistically, there are things that I don't want to give up and that I am going to fight for. I prefer to have money than not to have it, I prefer to have intelligent and profound people around me than stupid evil people, I prefer health to illness, etc. I know that if you give up all bias, opening is easier, but I think that without having to do so, opening is also possible.

That's right, light is the devil because it shows the illusion. darkness is god because it erases all difference Anyway, the devil is beautiful

Yes, I prefer spend the day on a tropical island than be tortured by the Holy Inquisition and then burned alive. I have never said that I want to not have preferences, but by maintaining marked preferences to be able to be open to the now. Just because the other option is insanity

I think we have to manage to stay at that point full time. It is about replacing our psychological construction with real openness. go from a dead robotic mind to a living mind. A single realization is good, but what do you want? Stay in the psychological mind? In the conceptual? That's a shit. I wouldn't say play, but get deeper in the richness of the now. Well, you could call it play if you want. Reality is like a lake of infinite depth. enlightenment is realizing that you are an infinite lake. To be in the conceptual mind is to skate on the flat surface, a linear dimension. Once you realize the infinite, the surface breaks, the conceptual becomes irrelevant and you are no longer trapped there, and you can begin to truly see what the now is. It is one thing to realize that you are infinite and another thing is the depth with which you can perceive the now. Those who say: I am enlightened, there is nothing else, they are blind. Being enlightened is normal, it is realizing what you are, once you are there, you live. To say: I'm enlightened, so I ve no more desire, is false.

Yes the depth has not end, but you can realize that what you are is absolute depth, so you don't need to dig In the depth. You realize that infinite depth is infinite everything, and that's it, that is the absolute, what you are. By the way, people who say: enlightenment is realizing that you are God creating the universe... well, there are several things here, on the one hand God, then the action of creating, and the result, the cosmos. All this is not total absolute infinity, it is the manifestation of the fact of the absence of limits, but in total awakening there is no god, no cosmos or creation, there is total undifferentiated infinity, the absolute. You could say that the inevitable consequence of the absolute is God, it is, let's say, posterior, so no absolute. The absolute is immutable, and god is change. these are my realizations, they may be inaccurate, except the realization of absolute infinity which is unequivocal

Sorry I can't remove the quote. Anyway, Those who say: I am enlightened, do they mean that they have had specific experiences of the absolute, or that they are installed there full time? because I have had some total openings, some more or less long, but for example right now I am trapped in my mind. It depends on the moment, if you are meditating, if you take some substance, the mind becomes lighter. but then it comes back. For me enlightenment is only now. Remembering an experience from yesterday is not enlightenment. You were enlightened yesterday, but today you are not

No, this is another conceptual thing. It is quite obvious, the nature of your human mind closes reality, makes it completely opaque, hidden behind a curtain of vibrations of desire, fear, attachment, past, future, concepts and definitions. You can say that this is also enlightenment but it doesn't seem like it, but what's the point of this? If it doesn't seem like it, it isn't to you. One question, have you completely stopped the mental flow and opened yourself completely to the now? can you do it easily? Realizing now what you are is enlightenment. having an opaque mind is not. knowing that only you exist and that is not enlightenment, enlightenment is not knowing, it is dropping the mind and being completely open to what is.

No, enlightenmentIt is opening yourself completely to what you are. It is not understanding, it is being without barriers. It is the absolute total infinity that now and always is, manifesting itself, making itself transparent. But on the other hand, I think there is more. not more absolute than the absolute, but more consciousness as gura says. understanding of what this experience is, clearer, deeper, broader vision of the now. Why don't you admit that both things are compatible? It's obvious I think. One dimension is the quality of what you are, another is the structure, the manifestation. You could say that it's relative, but Just because it has form does not mean it is relative, everything is absolute.

I don't think it's like that. It is human nature, which never settles. For me, the fundamental step for now is opening up to the true nature of reality in a permanent way. This is what is called enlightenment, realizing what you are. Not what you are doing, the structure of reality, etc, but the essence of reality, the absolute. But once I have achieved this in a stable and profound way, I don't think I will it until my death like a Buddha, but will continue exploring. my human nature pushes that

Could be. For now I'm starting to see what reality is, the quality of the now, my realization about how things happen are zero.

I can't see how I'm doing that. But I don't understand how the reality appears as it appears

I understand that the couch It is the appearance that infinity has now, and it could be a cluster of galaxies, in fact, within it is all existence, as in everything that appears. This moment now is infinity, everything is here, but only part of it is visible. In some way you could say that this is imagining, although it is rather limiting. Imagining implies creation, and nothing is created, everything already is

I don't understand the analogy of the dream because it involves someone doing something, and different levels of reality. all the realizations I have had are: reality is total absolute infinity. This experience is because it hides part of the total absolute infinity, just enough to function as a stable pattern of existence. This experience tends to increase in depth, to show more of the total absolute infinity, but it can only do so progressively. existence is eternal cycles in which total absolute infinity is . where is the dream? who dreams? Everything is real, even dreams. reality is absence of limits, this, now. The relative is as real as the absolute because it is the absolute. Everything is the infinite, in its entirety, now you are the infinite in its entirety, trying to show everything possible about yourself while maintaining a stable pattern of existence. using your infinite intelligence to make this. Nothing is unreal or imaginary, everything is the only reality, the shape that the absolute has now, and now is everything

It means that there is a subject doing something with a result. I'm not sure if it is a good description.

If imagination is absolute, why you call it "imagination"

Its difficult to say , but I'd say that you as a human are a pattern of existence, a form in reality, or consciousness or whatever you want to name it. Each pattern of reality represents a blockage of the level of consciousness, a limitation, since if it were not so it could not be organized in a certain pattern. The human pattern has a range of opening possibilities. from closed degrees, I don't know, Attila the Hun, to more open degrees, Ramana Maharshi, etc. So, if you can increase your consciousness by reconfiguring the pattern that you are to open yourself more to reality

In you reflection you could try to understand why knowing what others are and what you are is important. who wants to know? What does it mean to know something? What is the difference if the others are real or not? Who is this important to? The answer is simple: it is important for the conceptual framework created that you cannot get rid of. let it go, and that's it, reality remains. the moment you think: yes, ok, that's very nice, but then, the others are...that's it, you're back inside. in the conceptual mind. If you want to see what others are, it's easy, meet a person and talk to them, that's what others are, reality flowing. you can only be. think about it, and you're out

I believe that the change of consciousness begins by forgetting the idea of God and any other idea. The screen must be clean so that what appears is not immediately corrupted. As you yourself have said many times, you are a person who exposes his realizations, not a guru. Think about the entire process (a whole life), and the personality configuration (genetics, whatever) that has led you to reach the opening you have reached. What would be the way for other people who are at a different point to take a shortcut and reach the same thing? very difficult to know, but I would say that the first thing is: make your mind an empty screen. Drop all ideas. From this, we will see

Yeah sure, I'm not saying no, I'm saying that the way it is presented leads people to take it as a belief, rather than realizing it themselves. How many people do you think really dare to leave all the structures behind and see? Not a lot right? So, if you tell them that of look at your hand, it will only help them form a mental construction mixing all the content they have absorbed, and think: yes, I am God and I am alone. until they realize that it doesn't work that way and have a little crisis
