My aim is just to simplify things. God is Pure Love, so anybody's teachings that align with that is teaching God. God is truth, God is an eternal consistency, God is infinite. So those who emulate beyond average consistency in how they communicate both in word and action are teaching truth. THIS^^ is how you determine if someone is enlightened or not. You don't need some technique all you need to do is observe and life will reveal. Since we all are an expression of finite love of the infinite we all have our failings our flaws. So this is why consistency/truth is your best barometer. Now one can be highly conscious but inconsistent and one can be lower conscious and more consistent, but is that consistency dogma, or flow? You can discover if it is flow by their ability to adapt both in word in action to different circumstances. If they are rigid in their actions and words then they are missing the integration of Love. Love is connecting without judgment, and truth is consistency. Put the two together and you have what you need to figure out someone's level. Look at their actions, and look at their words and observe with discernment, but without judgment. If someone needs an example ask and I will provide one.

High Quality Post! Glad you discovered what you did.

Glad to know you are doing the work.

Sadhguru is overly complicating the truth. Reality is imaginary. The grasshopper doesn't see reality the wrong way, the grasshopper lives in a grasshopper reality. A human doesn't see reality the wrong way, they live in the reality they constructed mentally. Since reality is imagination, however you choose to imagine either consciously or unconsciously that is your reality. And that's it. All these other constructed teachings are just going to get you lost in your mind and you will never awaken to Love, Truth, All is Mind, Pure Creativity, Etc. It's as simple as this. You are Nothing.....This Nothing is a Mind. This Mind imagines a human life, as it imagines things into existence it records what appears into memory. But it doesn't recall what it records perfectly so it can function in the present and get over things that it doesn't like. So it has a selective memory. This memory is termed the past. This Mind also makes predictions of what can happen next, this it terms the future. So in the present it can imagine a past and a future, and in the present it is also imagining. The same substance that makes up one thing is the same substance that makes up all things. You can raise your sensitivity to the subtlety all around you that first everything is nothing. This nothing feels empty, and absence of all qualia except presence. Then you can feel the fullness. This fullness has a bliss qualia to it, that bliss is what can be called love. Then you realize the full bliss qualia and the empty absence of qualia are the same thing. Then you become aware that nothing is intelligent. Then you later become aware that it is pure creativity. And there you have it. Your human mind is a smaller mind within Universal Mind. You clear out or hollow out your smaller mind of labels and biases so you can receive the flow of intelligence of Universal Mind. The more you hollow out your mind the more expansive your love, intelligence, and creativity is. This takes a concerted effort of mentally dissolving the dualities in your mind. A classic trap is separating duality from Non-Duality. Reality both has and doesn't have duality. To be all inclusive you must include both. You must be able to both see and not see duality. And that's it. Anything else is just a waste of time on the path. You will be running around in circles for decades. To resolve biases you have to activate the heart chakra, to resolve dualities you have to contemplate differences between a thing, if you become conscious of nothing and love, the differences will resolve themselves in the present moment. But the cool thing is reality can resolve the differences another way for example hot and cold are just differences in vibration that is the logical difference, the conscious difference is....Universal Mind imagines COLD, and HOT qualia....and thus an imagined difference is there and it is completely direct. That's it.

Follow your own advice and watch NDE's.

First notice what was bolded. ^^^^Do you notice what is being hinted at?

Yeah.....there is, the book you are going to write to cure yourself of boredom.

When I was younger I fell asleep at the wheel and did not crash. Apparently I was on the highway and drove over multiple lanes, grazed the divider of the highway but did not actually crash. I made it home safely but I knew that was a miracle. There have been many other instances since then, that I have been protected. Share some stories if you are willing of how the universe protected your avatar.

Nice, miracles in plain sight. Wonderful.

All people pleasing is an act, even an enlightened master has to hold his tongue or filter himself on some level when they are in certain environments. How do we know this? Because Jesus Christ got crucified for being authentic all the time. Osho talked about how the Buddha was more wise in his dealings with people because he didn't speak truth to power. It depends on how you want to look at it but looking at someone's facial expressions is not going to determine if they are enlightened. Enlightenment is just being aware that everything is pure imagination. That isn't going to get rid of things you find annoying. Enlightened masters are still living with a human body. Do not pedestalize them. If you want to be able to tell who is Enlightened, become Enlightened and you will know. But an unenlightened person can only SPECULATE whether someone is or isn't. For example: ^^This guy is enlightened, you can tell by his ability to answer these questions that he gets it. Authenticity just IS.

Says the garbage man.

1. Speculation is not truth. Speculation is not truth. You only know what you have confirmed. If you haven't confirmed it you do not know it. 2. Pretending to know something will always be revealed. You cannot hide your lack of knowledge of a thing forever. All phonies eventually get exposed, that is the nature of life. 3. You live in a world of phonies, investigate what the phonies are and you might be surprised.

God is found through Love. Discover that you are Love and how you generate it, and you discover God. The path is the path of the heart. Your mind has erected a barrier through symbols and meaning. You need to love without a condition, have a desire for a thing to be the way it is and not some other way. Practice Feeling Unconditional Love and then you find God.

It's perfect because it was constructed by an infinite intelligence. Your little human intelligence is ignorant. If I dropped you on an island you couldn't reconstruct modern society from scratch. Modern society's greatest intellectual achievements aren't even 1% of the intelligence of Infinite Intelligence. So what's make you think that your little human intelligence can construct something better. It's simple math. God has unlimited intelligence, your intelligence is limited. Why the hell you think you can construct something better. In fact try. Go write a novel or create a video game that is supposed to be better than Reality. Good luck with that. If you knew how hard it is to keep people entertained and engaged as a writer as a creator you would know how silly you sound. The number one rule of creating a world is IMMERSION!!! No human has ever created ANYTHING that can immerse you better than reality.

It is definitely amazing. But it only works that well if you don't value truth. The level you value truth will determine how easy or hard it is to bullshit yourself. The one rule to create a smooth life is to only allow people who value truth access to you. The more untruthful the person the more upheaval they will add to your life. You could surround yourself with people like that as a spiritual practice, but you will only be able to do it temporarily. Circumstances will force those relationships to change as devilry cannot continue for too long unabated.

Soup is still a structure. Also anyone telling you to drop meaning to reach the Infinite doesn't know what they are talking about. There is no difference between meaning and lack of meaning. You cannot divide it because meaning and lack of meaning are the same thing.

Crazy!! I might need to start calling you daredevil.

I have another one for you. Steph Curry is considered the greatest shooter of the basketball ever. He shoots 42.7% from three point range. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/curryst01.html He literally misses more shots than he makes yet he keeps shooting. So what it shows you is failure is a part of sports, and sports teaches you to normalize failure to reach success. Wrap your mind around that one!!

This was the juiciest one for me. This is where you get downloads of crazy amounts of creativity. You suddenly have the ability to free style rap, you suddenly have the ability to dance, you suddenly have the ability to write a story/novel, you go out and try a dance move and can pull it off, you basically get shown you can do anything creatively as a human and the limits placed on you are illusions to force you to love and appreciate the creation by having you devote time and effort into repetitively practicing it. It's amazing because it shows you that you can really learn to do anything. It happened spontaneously for me after deep concentration and contemplation on what does it mean to be a Co-Creator with God. It means to allow the creativity of God to flow through you unhindered by selfishness. 1. What is wrong with Ego? This is another issue I have you all demonize ego. Without ego there is no memory of a human life because ego is the memory of your human life. Without ego there are no goals, no trials, no triumphs, no failures, no story, no life. No ego= Death. If you don't want ego, go die LOL. I speak from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. You cannot speak from a position of authority unless you have experienced a thing. I have died. After dying, you come back and see all the B.S. that people who have not died spew. Many of you on these forums are full of it, and I point it out when I see it. Everyone is going to experience INFINITE LOVE when they die. You can experience it now if you are brave enough, you don't have to physically die. But that is the gift that everyone gets at death. Anyone who has died knows this, those who haven't speculate, like you. Speculation is not truth, either die, or stop talking as if you know what you don't know.

Close your eyes.....dream a bird flying. Investigate what that bird that is flying in your mind...what is it made of? Open your eyes, feel your body, notice that the same feeling of being that the bird you imagined in your mind had...is made of the same stuff that your body is. What is that feeling? What was that being that you sensed....what is it made of? If you can crack this question....you will become aware why everything is ONE, there is no separation, and will understand how you are fooling yourself that distinction actually exists. There is no distinction and you are creating distinction through language and meaning. Everything is PURE IMAGINATION. Imagination is a thought conjured up within a mind.

Being cannot know that it is, unless it experiences that it IS!!! That is awakening!!! You are only able to recognize the experience, because...you ARE EXPERIENCE!!! YOU ARE IT!!! You are eternal, so what occurs, is ALWAYS occuring. Also everything is made of the same thing!!! It is made of NOTHING!!! When you awaken to everything being NOTHING, then you realize that there is ALWAYS EXPERIENCE!!! Because BEING and EXPERIENCE are the SAME THING!!! This is the VOID!!! Right now this is the VOID!!! This is why I can tell who is awaken or not because when I entered the void, I realized the flaws in the logic of those who think like you. When you enter the VOID, who you are right now....will still be there. Your ability to think will still be there, because thinking is not some human thing. Your ability to feel emotion will still be there because again emotion is not some human thing. God is a mind that is able to emote, and think. God bestows this ability in a limited capacity to humans. All is MIND, the void is a mind that can communicate what it is, and that it is YOU. Everything is a thought in the Universal Mind. It is BEING and it is EXPERIENCE. It experiences itself and does not need a human to experience itself. But....without the human and other creations it cannot have a life of its own to share what it is. So it creates to accomplish that end. Otherwise it is just an empty void, floating NO WHERE.

I love athletes, so I love that you are sharing your inner mindset. Study other athletes. For example Phil Jacksons says Kobe Bryant worked harder than Michael Jordan. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/phil-jackson-kobe-worked-harder-in-training-than-mj/#:~:text=(CBS) In an interesting tidbit,perhaps the sport's most relentless But despite this Michael Jordan still accomplished more than Kobe Bryant in the game of basketball. Kobe got injured more than Michael Jordan, he took longer to learn how to be a leader and connect to his teammates because he entered the NBA from high school and there was an age gap, he also wasn't as physically gifted as Michael Jordan , Jordan could jump higher, had bigger hands, and was more durable (less injuries) than Kobe. So notice even though Kobe did everything he could, he couldn't control the outcomes he had. When Kobe was in the last year of his playing career he finally realized that he never had complete control over outcomes. When asked how he wanted to be remembered he said "To think of me as a person that's overachieved, that would mean a lot to me. That means I put a lot of work in and squeezed every ounce of juice out of this orange that I could." Kobe Bryant

A thought is all of your writing. But according to you it doesn't exist, so as that is such....there is nothing to come back to and discover because...it isn't there according to you.
