Thorns exist only in the mind. Like the hairs of an ox's tail. Where is the remainder of the ox?

@Ayla Is the thorn needed to remove the thorn, not the remainder of the ox?

Yes, we have brief moments that are deep experience's of existence and humanity, And then there is the reality of how things are. It's balancing act. The yin and yang maybe? But yes, the contrast is sometimes stark. I had the deep experience of overwhelming universal love the other morning. I could feel love embracing all of us. It was like a pure love orgy with the total consciousness of all humanity. lol But all joking aside That's a powerful frequency to tune to.

The silent observer is absolute nothingness. It contains nothing, and yet it contains everything. Something that that will always allude the mind. It permeates this existence at all times and everything that happens here, echoes' into nothingness for infinity.. Conscionsceness is that empty space within this experience. It flourishes when there is no mind.

@werlight I had those same type of experiences as you did. Deeply immersed in existence. Those special experiences are something you never forget. Deja Vu would also happen sometimes. Is total enlightenment alot like constant Deja Vu ?

There exists no mind to be "open minded". There's your "trigger". Only the awareness of reality exists as @werlight expressed to you through his personal experience. Everything becomes one mutual existence.

@Naviy I don't do the deep self inquiry thing. To me it seems like giving the ego mind all the attention it wants. Unless there is a lot of baggage to toss out. If that's the case, than yes. But that's too much mind happening for true growth. Where is the pure being in all this? The silent observer that exists beyond the playground of the mind. Transcending the mind should become effortless once the pure state of being is experienced. Have you had a transcendent experience yet? What exists beyond your mind?

Ego is flowing in time and slowly dissolving during the awakening process. That's what I take from the message. Growth is the "vanishing" of the ego, only the sense of being remains. @5:50

I must have become enlightened at a very early age. I can't remember how long ago it was that I first started saying, "I didn't do it ! "

Yesterday I suddenly experienced deep, pure love, I could feel the total consciousness of all humanity. One consciousness. All of it! I was joyous, I was humbled, I was sad, I was hopeful, I was awestruck, ect... I was seeing through the eyes of pure , love at the totality of our species as one collective conscionceness. I can feel that buzz around my head just talking about it. I got the love buzz! lol

@werlight You got a good dose there brother! As they say in Zen. It doesn't trickle out of the bucket. It's as if the bottom fell out and it all comes rushing out at one time......

@werlight Oh yea, On my question about "what happens after awakening?" I felt like I wanted to share this awareness with everyone I know. But I usually don't. Not everyone. It would be beautiful if everyone could experience this. There would no such word as enlightenment because everyone would be awakened.

@werlight Yes, totally. "Everything is exactly as it should be in this very moment". That has become my mantra. I also became aware that nothingness surrounds the space of existence at all times. Whatever happens within this space is absorbed directly into that surrounding space. I talk about it in a dualistic way but in truth they are one seamless space. Sometimes after meditation the presence of nothingness is so obvious that it feels like I could almost scoop it out of the surrounding environment. Yesterday morning when a had the experience of pure love, It felt like the top of my head was buzzing it was so strong. Very powerful! I I must have tapped directly into the love frequency. Amazing!

In Zen there is a saying "A flute with no holes is not a flute.......... a donut with no hole is a Danish"

Peace of mind is yours for the taking.................but piece of ass still cost you 50 bucks

.@Galyna There is for those who do not see

This is all way past time and space. If reincarnation 'does' exist, time and space would be a huge part of what is returned to. Look at the picture that Leo presented yesterday. The see'er should be on the outside, looking in, at time and space.

@werlight What happens after we realize who we are? After our awakening.

A mirage

Only this moment matters. That's all we need to see

Why is Mr. Potato Head enlightened? He's the embodiment of emptiness.

Pure love bought me to my knees...........

@werlight I know. It's all good. We share a space that is totally humbling. You know what I mean.

@werlight I agree. There exists in my heart what words could never describe. That is all I know at this moment. Thank you
