Spirituality may point you right back to this domain - enhancing the integration through effortless activity.

Perhaps they wish to feel like special snowflakes? There is a bit of 'I am above, I know more' at play, I have noticed. Many self self selfs playing word games on forums. In real life? Gutless I have had little success. I would say - 5% hits. I have no idea how it happens, I wish I did. I don't think I have a talent for it. I have only been able to do it successfully on holiday (very disconnected from work, usually when I have had some great clear meditation sessions) and when I was particularly unperturbed emotionally or obligation wise. I draw what I perceive, it ends up as a gestalt. I also note the smells and textures that might come to me. I suppose it helps I have been an artist my whole life, so rendering things is easy. But I fail to interpret what I render. If you are thinking at all in the process - it won't work. That is the only constant theme I can pull out. Don't try to interpret anything. Erase all the stuff in your mind. Empty it all out. Hope this helps!

Awareness is typically framed by humans as subject - object. The awareness is the subject - the object being the 'thing' EG thought, concept, feeling, sensation. YOU are aware of thoughts. YOU are aware of smells, sounds. Subject + object. What is the subject (awareness) without the object? IE when something is not present to be perceived? This is deep sleep. So, in deep sleep - the subject (awareness) has no object to relate to. No experience is being generated. Nothing is being perceived. No sensations. No feelings. No thoughts. There is just pure awareness present. And only pure awareness. So this is why deep sleep is said to be pure awareness. Something like that

Theft of joy by comparison These moments can be milestones for another's experience, who are we to distract from this?

Then we do not share the same raw sensing, if you prefer I don't think I understand the point, of course there is no one. Emptiness sensing. All one. I must be either misinterpreting or I am assuming some knowledge in error

@Eskilon but if a woosh moment for me context wise? 🤣 I think I see this statement : And think... Hmmmm. I question. But good to consider

@Eskilon There might be more to not knowing that is not apparent. It is worth going further into it. It might not be what it seems ...

One could argue seeing or experiencing the same thing is an assumption. We do not actually experience the same thing when, for example, you and I sit and watch a lamp. Each sees different light, different angles. We just share the 'thinking' minds label and context as a descriptor for experience, as a mutual agreement. It's all conceptual. All arising from the social doman. You could argue we never see or experience the same thing. We agree for the sake of simplicity and cohesion. Is experience still shared, in this case? Isn't this the paradox? Indras net. One and seperate as a hologram? Just random ideas 🙃

I bet this was the target ay? 💀

How do you know that? 🙃☺️🙃

@Leo Gura BOUNCE LIKE A KANGAROO & GET THE FUCK IN HERE TO EXPERIENCE THE LOVE

Self enquiry - am I that? What am I? What am I NOT? etc

@Joshe It could be just the next step? True self stares at you point black after the illusory ego-self is directly seen through You will face the question 'Why is there something, rather than nothing?' True self - the oneness, unity, love and clarity part The silence

Yes it reveals how hollow it is - literally! The attention goes elsewhere, from abundance, rather than lack. You can still generate material things, but they are a by-product and no longer the main focus. Just a means to some end. Just in my personal experience - apathy did not arise at all for me. The spiritual process has been one of clarification. If one experiences the total unity and oneness, it becomes hard to neglect responsibility. I do what I do, to help. To give back, to express love. I look after myself with honour and respect, so I can be there 100% for those that need it.

I love how wildly different everyone's experience is! My experience with spirituality cemented my resolve, love, awe and inspiration to commit to expressing myself within limited reality. The pointer went smack bang right back to where it IS. I felt a totally renewed interest in perusing reality and expression, from abundance, rather than any lack. This time, in REAL authenticity

@Joshe Just curious - is the above based on your experience?

39:46 For remote viewing. This is Joe McMoneagle, the CIA’s Remote Viewer No. 1 Try this website - https://intuitivespecialists.com/target-pool/ Turn off your thinking mind. Turn off the ego. No thoughts. It helps if you have a lot of meditation experience and know how to 'empty'. It helps if you know how to visually deconstruct your perceptions. Art and creativity training help. See how you go

@Emotionalmosquito Thích Quảng Đức Apparently - the monk's heart did not burn. Not even upon his re-cremation. It is amazing we have this image, as with the advent of AI, these could be faked. It is also the cover art for a self-titled Rage Against the Machine album.

The reflexes and brain are for certain the body (to me, anyway). If a reflex a choice though?

So do we think we are the body?

There would be an implication something else is present to exert it's will on us? Do you think unconscious behaviour is not originating from 'self'? Not saying yes or no either way

Feel free to go into this. Perhaps you mean it can be misunderstood? But just judging without presenting an argument is sort of empty, no?

Regardless of if the boy understood the action and consequences - did the boy not start smoking cigarettes himself? He purchased or obtained them, lit the cigarette and smoked it. If there are permanent neural changes, these may generate impulses. But the self still decided to take up the smoking. Who else did that?

Everyone is in process. What was the intention behind this post?

I think this internalized shame due to self blame is a huge issue for most on the path. It seems to arise from a moral judgement made against the self when it is revealed the self is the doer. 'I am doing something wrong' There is no wrong Just a realization and correction. A mentor once told me 'The self needs to be healthy and whole before it can be realized for the illusion it is. Otherwise, repression and bypassing.'
