We know what consciousness is so what is the role of intuition. Has intuition ever told you there more to consciousness than you know?

I'm reminded of the story where Nisargadatta would ask a follower "what is your experience of Truth" and no matter what answer they gave his reply was always the same "No that's not it".

That can go the other way too. You could be sitting at a bar getting to know the girl sitting next to you. Then she "accidently" drops her napkin between your stool and hers. And before you can get it for her, she says "just smile" and bends down to pick it up.

@Hardkill Possibly one girl in the group wasn't attracted to me. But she sure liked my GF.

You'll get used to it real fast. When I was in my early 20's my GF and I lived together in an apartment complex and partied with a lot of neighbors. Over time we all got to know each other better and one thing eventually led to another. They were all cool people. I mean nobody was creepy or pervy or anything. Just all clean fun with people we knew and liked. .

This topic will soon be locked. @Vladimir If you have any closing statements you would like to leave us with, pls. feel free to do so.

That's good. There's a guy just down the road from here and another in the next town over that stand on main street all day telling people they are the second coming of Jesus. The one Jesus will either wave or shoot you the bird as you drive by. If I get the bird, I feel damned all day.

I was just going to ask that.

Have you been sharing the good news with everyone you meet or just here on the forum?

@Hojo A flute with no holes is not a flute. But a donut with no a hole is a Danish. Go figure.

The rocks were cool too.

Have you seen the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once?

That was a joke. When your gone your gone. Let the samadhi consume you.

Yes. Amazing as samadhi is it too must be surrendered. The last gate. @Hojo One foot in each world.

I'll miss me when I'm gone.

.......and vanish without a trace.

The ultimate realization. But can one really live like that? Or would you choose to live 'just this close'. Finding a 'sweet spot' so to speak.

Yes, it's a process for the most part. But for some it can happen spontaneously. But that's very rare. The "process" is really about breaking down the limitations we set on ourselves. In truth everyone is already awakened.

@Twega Sure thing. The most important take-away I got from watching the video was when he said it's a matter of where (in your mind) you place your awareness.

Observer and observed arise mutually. One could not exist without the other.

@Twega Saw this interesting video and thought of your post............

Exactly! I have MS and gravity/weight is wreaking havoc on me. Just moving from point A to point B feels like I'm swimming against the current and it's exhausting. Before the illness I never gave a thought to the degree muscles need to work to counteract against weight and gravity. But now that my muscular ability is somewhat diminished, I'm acutely aware of gravity's effects.

Like: it's infinite diversity and intelligence. Dislike: it's density/solidity.

Adios terra firma. The fear of losing one's tether to the physical.
