You said all you see are bones in the grave, not a person. How do you know what you are looking at, who told you what you are looking at are bones?

So the body/mind are thoughts. Yet you answered No, when questioned if they are thoughts. You mentioned earlier on my thread, that the I can't see the knowledge and thoughts. But you ignored my question, when I asked if the I can see an apple, or an orange?

I've no idea what you are saying here, James.

What are spiritual teachers teaching, exactly?

Time is what stops everything from happening all at once. Only one frame of the movie is being experienced, in a sequence of beginningless, endless now's, in space and time, infinitely for eternity.

This statement is asserting the I can't see the knowledge and thoughts. So my question to the statement is...If I can't see the knowledge and thoughts, can I KNOW what I assert I cannot see?

Why would God even be bothered or care one iota about things that have been stolen from Him? since anything and everything belongs to God anyway?

Imagination is seeing with the eye of God

The only God is I Am

Can you imagine, you are God taking away and giving back?

@Eterno Watching this video might help you understand something about your terror. What if your deepest anxiety has no object? What if the dread you feel at 3am isn't about anything in particular—not failure, rejection, or danger—but about the very structure of existence itself? Explore the anxiety that emerges when you face your own freedom, your own nothingness, your own radical responsibility to create yourself in a universe that provides no guidance.

Just Love. 😊

@Breakingthewall Okay.

Awakening is being conscious you are conscious. It is an awakening from unconsciousness. It makes sense, otherwise, what's the purpose or point in life at all unless you are aware of life. That's why the universe awoken from unconsciousness, simply because it could, and it desired it. Imagine life never knowing it ever existed, what a complete waste of time and energy that would be. All that matter just lying around unconscious forever, how dull and useless. So the good news is that nothing was ever dull, boring or wasted, and so here we are, now, and knowing it.

Check to see if she's okay. This is the most purest of the pure truth, because love always wins. Just being aligned with the real authentic truth of your very being, is all that's needed and ever wanted. It is very rich, because none of us are a beggar in our own kingdom. We're each and all, a unique miracle of life, by just being here at all.

You exist, as both body and mind and the awareness of both. Ultimately, you are your mind, you are the author of your own reality. You are not some passenger hitching a ride on and off your physical vehicle. You are literally the authentic sole driver of your physical vehicle. No one else drives your bus, but you.

I think separation had to be, it could not have been any other way. Separation works primarily as a fundamental function necessary for the survival purposes of every living life form. The myriad of life forms that do exist, I believe, were not meant to discover their physical essence was built from the exact same ingredients needed to manifest all life forms, we now know as particles, atoms, electrons etc, etc, or whatever building blocks formed physical appearances in the first place, I'm no scientist. . I do understand that separate appearances had to be, and that each one is being a totally unique centre in it's own universe, completely sealed off from any other centre. I believe there are infinite I AM's and each I AM is a unique universe unto itself. So there are also infinite universes. Fundamentally, everything is manifest of the same one source, whatever source is, I don't know, I can't know source, because I AM source, that's all I know of source. Miraculously though, source was able to manufacture infinite individual unrepeatable unique life forms, that are each a one off, unique manifestation of the one absolute original source. How that happened, I've no idea, except that it happened, obviously. Ultimately, there is only source sourcing nothing but itself, in myriad of different forms. This I believe was never meant to be realised as Infinite Absolute Oneness, it was meant to give the impression of infinite multiplicity, which is ultimately the same as Absolute Infinite Oneness. So even as it is able to see through the illusion of separation it didn't change a thing. It didn't really matter, because Multiplicity was always going to be Oneness, or, Oneness was always going to be Multiplicity. It was always going to be the same switcheroo reality, no matter which way you chose to look at it. Anyway, this is just my theory based on my capacity to think and use linguistic language and to form some kind of sensibility and coherent meaning and purpose to the reality that is my life as an individual unique never to be repeated, I Am.

I used to buy into the idea of no separate selves. But then changed my mind, I now see separation as an actual truth. For example: From the perspective of 'me' here, I know I am not someone else, nor is someone else me. Only I am being me. I am the centre of my own universe so to speak. No one else is experiencing the experiences I am experiencing. And because I know I exist, I also know other life forms are existing too. Like cats and dogs and trees, and people. While these other life forms exist, I am not them, I am not a cat, or a dog, or a tree, or another person. So I agree with the idea that Nonduality is duality.

Yes.

Find out. A clue is in the OP

Have you seen an apple, or an orange, or a banana?

@Inliytened1 Great answer.

That's like asking is there one of you, or many of you.

This is simply known.

In a nutshell, we are talking about the absolute truth of knowing you exist as a thinking being. It doesn't need to get more complicated than that simple absolute knowing.
