  1. @Breakingthewall Fortunately, we don't need to understand anything. Trying to understand is the reason for insanity in the first place. Just be.
  2. Once you realize who you are, you are able to use your mind rather than being used by it. It is good to have goals and work toward them, as long as you don't take it too seriously and get trapped into reidentifying with the role. Staying grounded in who you are is of primary importance; everything else will happen as it needs to happen.
  3. Who created the character that is creating the super character?
  4. After ecstasy, the laundry. Or more classically: Chop wood, carry water. Only now there will be joy in every step
  5. @bennett oppel What if You already are, and "you" are just a character creating a supercharacter?
  6. Maybe Source creates because it loves to create, manifests because it loves to manifest, and plays because it loves to play?
  7. Love is nonduality, pretty simple if you ask me.
  8. Do you believe the universe is timeless, or that time exists only within the universe? Is it possible Source singularly exists outside of the universe(s) itself(s)? Is it your belief that there are multiple Sources? If dualistic, why?
  9. The observer = consciousness = the first cause = the eternal subject. Consciousness is self-aware.
  10. If Source isn't a thing, wouldn't that make it nothing? Just because it isn't a thing doesn't mean it lacks light or essence.
  11. The essence of everything is nothing. Do you think Source is a thing?
  12. @Danioover9000 If you move to another house, do you think Crysty will move with you?
  13. Actually, the Gita is small. The version I just finished has < 400 pages, and most of that is commentary.
  14. Time, space, and matter are all illusions. Don't be surprised that you can infinitely divide or multiply them The thing that creates everything is actually nothing.
  15. What is anything but just a thought? Nihilism isn't all it's cracked up to be. You chose to create this world for a reason, after all.
  16. By creating a finite structure, you are cutting that structure out of infinity. It's an illusion of scale. If I arbitrarily define the tiniest cube as being dimensionally 1 foot, I am excluding all of the smaller cubes I could have defined instead. The definition itself is completely arbitrary. Definition is the illusion. There is no ultimate definition, only unity.
  17. "Visualization trick"...kinda my point Anything can be artificially defined by scale, then infinitely subdivided. That doesn't mean the artificial definition is real. You're just arbitrarily cutting it out of infinity, then acting surprised when you get infinity out of it By definition, something with an infinite value cannot be measured.
  18. We choose to survive because evolution selected us for making that choice. Organisms that choose not to survive tend to get their wish.
  19. The apple is the illusion. It is not really a solid object. It is a miniscule amount of matter, mostly held together by electron wave energy. We can agree to call it "one apple", but in the ultimate sense the apple and everything else is divisible. The only nothing that cannot be divided is nothing itself.
  20. Even the idea of finity in length is an illusion. At what finite point does the line start, and at what finite point does it stop? The length cannot be ultimately defined, because the points cannot be defined. All we're talking about is dividing infinity by infinity, which is undefined.
  21. I wonder which is greater, the fear of death or the fear of uncertainty? Fear is the feeling that something bad is going to happen to you in the future. When you realize there is no future, only the present moment, fear dissolves. Easier said than done, I know. The answer is simple: accept what is instead of struggling against it. Accepting reality doesn't mean refusing to change it. If a lion walks into the room, you probably want to GTFO, but you can only do that if you aren't frozen in fear.
