@Patok If you try to grasp nothingness with the mind it will forever elude you. It is everywhere and nowhere. See what I mean

@Fountainbleu This just popped up on youtube and I thought of you. Ask the universe and it will answer.

@Fountainbleu Leo's back. Just my 2 cents worth but give the meds more time so you can adjust to them.

@Serotoninluv Nailed it!

Who answers is no other then you.

How to know if Your Inside a Dream? Call to someone around you. If they answer it's a dream.

@Dodo Sorry but this topic needs to be locked now. Enough has already been said here and now it's gone completely off the rails. BTW- almost half of this topic (158 out of 326 replies) was about Mikael89 who has no intention to help himself.

@David Hammond @Amun Break it up guys. It's getting nasty now.

@Manjushri The same reason to climb Mt. Everest, "because it's there"

All spiritual teachings are just a "finger ponting to the moon". Look past the words to find what is actually being conveyed otherwise your only seeing the tip of the iceburg. He walked into a valley All alone And there he talked with water And then with the vine.

@Tony 845 Just my 2 cents worth. The kids best intrest comes first.

@Shin I said 10,000 words couldn't describe it. I Kept it to 9, 999 .

@tedens So true.

@Highest The absolute prevades everything. Sometimes you see it and sometimes you don't. But it's always here. And nowhere.

The body and mind will continue to knock around within the manifest realm. Why not feel it while it lasts?

@Highest The absolute.

@Jack River

@Highest One fleeting glimpse couldn't be described with 10,000 words.

@Tausif Ahmed Welcome aboard. Atheisim, God, perspectives, rationalism, spiritual experiences, illusions, reality itself all arise on one empty screen of consciousness. Consciousness is prior to any experience. You came into this world as consciousness. Nothing would exist if it were not for consciousness. To answer your question. You are not any appearance that arises within consciousness. You are the consciousness on which all appearences (hallucinations) happen. Think movie screen. Any movie can play out on the screen. But the screen itself remains empty and untouched.

@How to be wise Nice! Reminded me of a quote of Nisargadatta "I see the same world as you but I see it differently" The absolute is here - now.

Ever hear of the Mound Builders of north america?

That's an accurate way to put it. A one sided awakening.

Edit out the "when we die" and make it "when we become enlightened". The "D" word is a little harsh.
