  1. There’s no such thing as nothing because nothing is not a thing. Only something matters, not nothing.
  2. Leo Gura is a story book character written by no author. The story is inseparable from the book. A bound set of blank sheets for thoughts to land on. Is Leo a thought, or, is a thought Leo. Define thought? What is the exact location of a thought. Can a thought be stopped from appearing ? Can a thought be started, forced to appear. The answer is no, thoughts have zero thoughts about the nature of thoughts.
  3. That’s a very good point, actually. The claim to know something as an appearance, is thought.
  4. No problem, you've earned it, so deserve it.
  5. There's nothing known about nothing, so nothing can't author knowledge.
  6. Give it to yourself, the self you thought up.
  7. There's no such thing as Nonduality, because Nonduality is not a thing.
  8. Preference is mind stuff, it's artificial truth, not actual truth.
  9. You have a self? If that's what's been thought up here, then that's just the self talking to itself.
  10. There's nowhere to stay because there's nowhere to go. Your only home is homelessness. Right here, and never not here.
  11. I checked out the Robert Wolfe video. Nice one. Thanks for posting it. It reminded me that I'm the 'IT'' in the ''Check IT Out'' 😊 IT being the outside in, or IT being the inside out. 🤷‍♀️
  12. Nobody knows what’s going to happen next. The present moment is blank of knowing. Existence is unwritten memory.. so even this present moment that feels alive is dead.
  13. Speaking in absolutes involves using words like always, never, everyone, or no one to make a point, which oversimplifies complex situations and can be inaccurate. Examples include "You always leave your dirty clothes on the floor" or "That's the only way to solve this problem," as there are almost always exceptions to the rule. Examples of speaking in absolutes Instead of: "You always forget to lock the door." Try: "You often forget to lock the door." Instead of: "No one likes that new policy." Try: "Very few people like that new policy." Instead of: "This is the only way to do it." Try: "This is one of the best ways to do it." Instead of: "I would never do that." Try: "I would rarely do that." Instead of: "Everyone wants to be rich and famous." Try: "Most people want to be rich and famous." Instead of: "Everything goes wrong when you are in charge." Try: "Many things go wrong when you are in charge." Instead of: "You can never be too careful." Try: "You should usually be very careful." Instead of: "This is always the result." Try: "This is the result most of the time." Why people might speak in absolutes Desire for simple answers: They may want a simple, yes-or-no response rather than a nuanced one. To be perceived as correct: Some may use absolutes to appear more knowledgeable or certain. To make decisions: It can be a way to feel more in control or to shut down debate. Preconceived notions: They may be ignoring facts at hand with a predetermined response. The pitfalls of speaking in absolutes Inaccuracy: It often oversimplifies complex situations, leading to factual errors. Rigidity: It leaves little room for exceptions or different perspectives, which can make a speaker seem inflexible. Miscommunication: It can lead to misunderstandings and conflict because it ignores nuance. Example A relative thinker might say, "In my experience, that approach is usually effective," while an absolute-thinking relative might say, "That approach always works".
  14. I feel that. It’s beautiful effortless living, freedom from myself at last. Service to others is all that’s left for me to do. That’s if there’s a demand for it of course.
  15. Yep, I must ensure I show up every night to monitor my sleeping body just to make absolutely sure I’m remembering to breathe, and to be there to wake the body when bladder needs emptying, save the feeling of cold wet sheets in the morning.
  16. What a ridiculous presumption. Do you believe in Santa Claus too. 😂 Narcissist! 😫 Oh gosh, don’t tell me, that you’ve never looked at a mirror in your entire life.
