Maybe, but look at it this way, do you choose to love or do you choose to hate someone? I choose to love, but it’s still okay to dislike someone out of personal preferences for personality types that might clash terribly with your own where the pair of you just don’t gel together like oil and water. But that’s different than Love. Love is just accepting them for who they are in their own right. Doesn’t mean you are not loving someone just because you choose not to hang out with them.

Oh yeah what a coincidence I’ve just seen GD too lol I see dead people. That’s a good one isn’t it?

@kavaris Maybe their lips are moving but no one can hear what they are saying.

Yes, men are loved by women and vice versa. I doubt for one minute people really hate each other. They may be users and use each other for sex, or for whatever else another can give you, but they don’t hate each other. Hating people is just weird, because you don’t hate yourself do you. And if they are just using each other, as long as the transactions are consentual then there’s no harm done. Sex is a healing activity that can enhance our overall wellbeing. And that’s why men and women will never turn their backs on it. But even those who choose celibacy who have healed from their emotional traumas still now and again crave human intimacy. That’s why God made a pair of humans. Male and Female, they are complimentary opposites. It’d be a weird world otherwise.

Watching the documentary made me think about how some humans are like cancer cells just hell bent on destroying their host. Such is the nature of life. I’ve heard many people say they think humans are like cancer cells. Most humans are normal cells thank God.

I think human society is steeped with the Spiritual underpinnings that refer to our core values, philosophical beliefs, and transcendent principles that support a person's worldview, actions, or an institution's framework. So that’s why I posted in spirituality forum.

I think the documentary is right up your street. It even mentions something about The Grateful Dead somewhere in the programme. It’s a coincidence that you just happened to be the first to respond to this thread.

Mods move this if it’s in the wrong section. Apologies if it is.

That is the one question to all y( our) answers.

Yes, and I believe that’s what everyone does, who is interested in nondual message, they describe the same idea in multiple different ways, and most are aligned but some descriptions can seem contradictory and oxymoronic.

😂.. you’re such fun to interact with, so naturally easy. Just the way I like it.

I too have heard about that as well, and also how prisoners of war who were held in camps were able to escape their situation by going into their own mental mind space which felt comfortable for them.

@Wilhelm44 It feels like a coincidence that we both experienced a gun to our head. I understand this happens to loads of people. And also a coincidence is that 44 is my house number. My mother died on the 4th and I had 4 children. The number 4 is very dominant in my life.

I too was held at gunpoint while walking home from a visiting the library, I later found out by the police that the gun was loaded , he was an escapee from prison, he was after money for drugs. I won’t go into details but I survived because there was another man walking his dog at the exact same place who managed to diffuse the situation. I remember the moment as feeling a sense of surreal calm sweep over me even as it was simultaneously terrifying.

Speculation is not this natural immediacy. Speculation dams up the spontaneous flow.

I don’t mind what happens. There is no mind minding the mind.

There’s no peace without war. I don’t mind what happens.

It’s both terrifying and beautiful at the same time because the snake has to eat something to stay alive. Something wants to stay alive so this something has no choice but to eat itself. And in doing so keeps itself immortal. Its like a self sustaining feed back loop.An energy feeding upon itself.

Being terrified is allowed. It’s okay to be terrified. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s nothing wrong with you, everything is allowed to be unconditionally. Even torture and abuse is allowed. Therefore being aware you are conscious can be seen to be a curse because it’s terrifying. Being swallowed alive by a boa constrictor snake would be terrifying for me.

Jim’s amazing. I love listening to him. Notice how effortless his talks are. There’s no tension, there’s just an oozing outpouring of pure immediate clarity.

They’re like little sparkling diamonds in your pocket, you didn’t know was there, but was there the whole time. Thank you 4 being here 4 💎

Nothing ever moved. Everything is already here right now in the infinite space of imagination that is everywhere at once.

@Wilhelm44 Absolutely beautiful 🤩 Unconditional - all allowing Love….perfect in every immediate moment even in it’s seemingly imperfection. Thanks for this pure immediate grace.

That which appears to be fragmented is never fragmented. Awareness cannot know awareness because it is Awareness , one without a second. The knowing is the known and the known is the knowing. And never the Twain meet. Fragmentation is an illusion as there’s zero gap between the knowing and the known.

Awakening can mean different things to different people. Awakening realisation for me personally was the obvious recognition that there’s an ever present awareness present during both deep dreamless and dreaming sleep, even though there is no mind or conscious awareness of ever being asleep whilst asleep because the conscious mind has switched off. The switched off conscious mind is unaware of the awareness that is always present in both dreaming and deep dreamless sleep and only becomes conscious of this ever present awareness when it switches on becoming conscious of having been asleep. This happens only upon awakening from the sleep. That’s what awakening is in my personal opinion.. This awakening can be recognised without the use of any mind altering substances. Awakening then is simply our true nature, and no one is required to reach it, achieve it, or teach it, it’s simply always what we already are in every waking and sleeping moment.
