Damn what kind of new dimension of the psyche have you discovered. I can consciously generate a thought. But when I don’t do that it seems they only come (in response to something for example) How is “experiencing” a thought different from simply having one? Both are us being aware of the thought. I don’t find that I generate thought as an action, you could say my brain does. Thoughts are directly arising and I’m aware of them arising, but I don’t experience an “activity of generating thought” , unless I’m consciously doing it

Sounds like successful day to me Edit: I read the rest and take that back 😂

Because the identity is an active imagination, it’s an effort, it’s not relaxed

@Bogdan Sweet. It was slightly tricky to follow I might have to read it again. What would you say is the thing that has had the most profound impact on your consciousness?

As long as you’re comprehensible , some intellectuals aren’t really to a broader public, it’s like they don’t even try

Ok I could add that it’s a resonance for me too I I don’t know what science says about that

But you’re not conscious of that. It’s just an idea to you so what’s the point in keep saying these radical non dual things when you still have a self Same for me btw

Edited My mom religious and against all drugs . She don’t wanna become god she wanna believe in god

I didn’t say it was unrelated maybe not just 100% perfectly perfectly aligned

Radical Non dualist Jim Newman once said “killing babies doesn’t matter” Thats true non duality guys. Case closed. 🫡

They don’t get it.

It’s not for everyone. It doesn’t penetrate my self either LOL

All replies doesn’t have to be perfectly perfectly in alignment with original post in my view. It can be a valuable contribution that gives another (in this case more meta) perspective

Yes omg. I literally put some of my stuff inside a foam roller thinking I was smart and once when I wasn’t home my dad wanted to borrow my foam roller and they found it😭😭😭

Bruh what country you talking about. I live in Sweden and it’s illegal asf. I got a hold of it but my parents found it and threw it away lol. How could they throw away such precious stuff, they don’t value exploration of infinity like i do 😭

It’s hard to “make conscious” precisely because you’re not enlightened so non duality is just an idea for you Wether you awaken from a teacher might be even more dependent on you than them Or maybe it’s spontaneous

Not a joke Now it makes sense yea I resonate with that although it’s just an idea from my limited perspective

I find Jim Newman very easy to understand I find he speaks very clearly and simply

Ok I like what you write sometimes on the forum, are you realized if that’s a valid question to you? Hope I’m not coming on too strong

What

I think we are staying true to ourselves by allowing ourselves to talk in relative terms while we live in the relative dream. To walk around and deny concepts in the name of radical non duality is kinda self deceptive, because for most it’s not gonna change the fact that they are still operating in the relative dream

I don’t know what that means

It seems that enlightenment is possible because we have a brain. So a table can’t be enlightened because it has no consciousness/no brain. So maybe the brain plays a role in enlightenment. The brain is like a type of form that creates (or at least contributes to) a conscious experience/self, so it has the possibility of getting in touch with the true nature of reality, for the person to become enlightened Nothing I say is something I know of course. Permanent enlightenment in general seems highly unlikely. But maybe psychedelics can increase chance for it, Martin ball for example who used 5 Meo dmt

Is it something you directly experience? So when you have physical pain, the suffering is not inherent in the experience of the pain, instead it’s caused by the minds reaction to the pain (the resistance)? When you meditate on the pain do you put your attention on it directly or how do you do? I have just a little bit of experience in how directing your attention to a physical sensation can change the experience of it

Yea but I guess it’s one piece to the puzzle
