No, in my view it's totally unnecessary. Life will take its own course without anyone at the rudder. ?

There are activities which are part of the "Me/I" concept and these fall away but progression of life still happens without the "Me/I". It might even be seen as running smoother without the push/pulls of it.

I've found that using different techniques, such as labeling and noting gone, can be effective. If you feel like progress is to slow you could try implementing those.

Yes from my pov there is no separation between nothing and everything. They are one occurance. I'm just trying to communicate that it can seem to be an arising and passing based on what one has realized and what ones perspective is. I guess what I'm trying to say is that they are ONE is a separate(?) realization. But good to point out. ?

I would agree but we also need to take into consideration that it is subjective realization and that it can be perceived as an arising out of nothing aswell depending how far into the continuum we are. To me it seems that that both perceptions can be correct. Also please take into consideration that I've take a few glasses of beer so my words are not exactly spot on. ?

Thank you for sharing. Never heard of Angelo Dillulo before but he seems like the real deal. ?

It has changed very much. I don't perceive it anymore. I can look at the clock to see if it's time to make dinner or time to go to work but I don't think of it as time passing by. I also don't really have much memory of the past or when I did something. I can remember that I have done or haven't done something but it's hard to say which day I did it. It all sort of blend together. I also can have a hard time remembering to do things that is out of my regular schedule or routine. But thanks to my phone I get a reminder to do those things. It can take a while to get accustomed to but it's not a big deal.

Yes the "I" wants to grab ahold to stop falling. Your job is to let go of the hold. ? No experience is absolute. If it was then who is seeing it? Yes, explore and enjoy! ?

There are no correct words objectively speaking. Words are pointers but completely subjective. So a word can seem to be a perfect pointer from the talkers POV but not resonate at all for the listeners POV.

Sacrificed because humans misunderstand what God is not that God wants humans and animals to be slaughtered.

That's great. I've been doing the same for 6-7 years and it seems like it's a never ending deepening into presence.

What did you attain?

Yeah I've actually quit all social media except youtube. ?

What I did was stop writing on this forum for about a year or two and grounded myself in direct experience. That really helped to create some distance from the mind and gain clarity.

@Galyna Seems like you're going through some kind of awakening process. Enjoy. ?

@Breakingthewall I'm not sure where in the process you are. let's not derail the thread. I'll pm you.

That's good. I think it is the way the body acclimatizes to it before being able to let go completely. No way to tell when it will happen though.

@Breakingthewall I agree, it is terrifying and the end of separation, death. Have you tried sitting with the fear, meeting it?

@Someone here ??

If this moment is all there is, how could you be missing something? And if you were in bliss would that question arise? Probably not. Usually these sort of questions come up because there are an uncomfortable feeling in the body (contraction) and conditioning to move to change that feeling to something that feels better. So instead of finding an answer to the question you question it and then you feel your body to identify the contraction which is causing the discomfort. Then you focus in on the feeling. Usually that feeling will start to dissolve and when it has dissolved completely the question has disappeared. What's left is peace.

@iboughtleosbooklist If you don't like listening to Jim Newman and Tony Pardons find someone you do enjoy listening to. My favorite for a long time was Adyashanti, maybe he will resonate better with you.

Great quote. Like a compulsiveness to the known and the avoidance of the unknown. ?

That would most certainly change the world for the better. ?

@Gabith The most significant thing I did to start love myself was to recognize all the thoughts where I was talking down on myself. It could be in small ways like "oh why did I say that?" or the bigger ways "what's wrong with me?" This constant negative self talk really put me in a state of constant self doubt. Doubting what to say or do especially in social interactions but also doubting myself in what to do and if I actually was capable of doing the things I wanted to do in life. When I finally realized what the negative self talk did to my feeling of self worth my life really started to spiral into self love and happiness.

Yes, I do agree with you in large. Preferences are still there after the realization but some preferences were only a part of the "identification construct" and these tend to fall away. Some of these preferences that were a part of the construct does not fall away with the realization and needs further inquiry/investigation into. They might be recognized as a distraction from the realization itself and the uncomfortable feelings that comes up to the surface such as fear, anger and sadness. And then theres the identification in the gut which can be recognized as contraction in the stomach area. That is the most fundamental part of identification which all parts of the construct revolves around. I might have missed some significant information around identification but those are the broad strokes. In short I'd say, look for the contractions within the body and use them as a guide. These are the seats in which identification resides.
