Or, does observing not want to be observed? Does awakening happen only when observing observes itself? And would observing want this awakening, or would it try to avoid awakening from ever happening ? Would it prefer to remain forever veiled from itself in hiding?

I am my distraction. Because what am I without the mind as my projection screen.

Yes Unborn Tao, I am remembering to keep it experiential. 😊

The end of lack implies lack is very much a part of reality. It’s not going to go away just because someone becomes enlightened. Lack is included within the syntax of human language, which the sense of ‘me’ or ego is bound by, and cannot escape from. This is why I ask the question does ‘Awakening ‘ want to awaken to the end of this so called knowledge. Or, would it rather stay in the dream of knowing, never to awaken from the dream. To just stay in the pure innocence of being without the sense of otherness. Awareness can become aware it is dreaming, where the sense of a separate self doesn’t exist, but this awakening from the dream might not be so appealing in a sense. Most people believe they exist as a separate real entity, they might not want the illusion of separation to come to an end. They may even prefer the sensation of realism, not the knowledge that is the end of knowledge, as in the non existence of a separate ‘me’ Awaken can be a double edge sword in this case. I’ve seen many people who have never heard of nonduality who are living completely blissful and compassionate lives, whom I’m sure would be pretty devastated if they found out they never existed as they once thought they did.

Yes, I agree, the immediate moment is all that’s real and true, the best teacher for sure. You look around at nature, it’s pure beauty and silent, it’s not contracted or judgmental, or complaining, it’s simply all allowing and effortless. The human noise heard as words, are but fleeting mirages, full of fury, or whatever you want to imagine, all signifying nothing. They tell a story for sure, and it’s fun to read. But ultimately it’s seen as pure fiction, not really out there in the real world. It's no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk. Woof Woof. 😀

The chair is no different to the human voice that overflows with words.. Is how I see it. But I know what you mean though. It’s all good 😊 Thanks, however, it does upset me to think that the way we use our words are sometimes inadequate and don’t seem to be quite good enough, and that because we don’t use them in the proper context that this metaphysical language demands, then they can potentially become a banning offence. And yet we’re only trying to do our best to share with each other our true claims, and words are all we’ve got, even though they sometimes end up making a complete shit show when trying to use them to point to the truth. Often being judged very harshly. Thing is we can all understand God without ever speaking one single word. That’s the ironic paradox.

@Xonas Pitfall My words are very clumsy I am aware of this. I’m more of a listener than a speaker. I understand what God is, but can never find the right or exact words to use to express God. Sorry for the mess I leave here.

Perfect beauty. Thanks James, I’m beginning to understand your unique expression now. It can take me quite a long time to understand the way other people’s minds work. But hey, you’re really okay man. 🙏👍 I really resonate deeply with Leo’s work. I just naturally understand what he’s saying. I can see the beauty in his demeanour. I like Ivankiss too. Love ❤️

I am a human being who knows I am a finite role infinite God is playing. As a human person who is being played, I know nothing, and that knowing that I know nothing is known by infinite God who is playing this human character in his conception. Concepts are known by the only knowing there is which is infinite omnipresent consciousness. Consciousness is this immediate infinite observer observing itself as and through finite physical eyes. I can’t locate the omnipresence I am because where would the centre of infinity be…. The centre must be everywhere all at once. Attributed to "God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere"

@kavaris Observer means infinity observing an infinite number of finite appearances for eternity. That’s God. Finite appearances are the infinite God observing what it’s like to experience a finite observing experience, like the experience of being a human that is also able to observe for itself, apparently, but not actually, as God being the only solo omnipresence already knows this omnipresence is the only observer looking through every finite human eye, and already knowing that no human being ever observed anything because the human is just a dreamt up character that God has imagined to appear in his dreamworld. God doesn’t need to observe his dreamworld, but God wants to observe his dream characters because that’s where all the noise, action and drama happens. When the dream is absent, God is just pure dreamless unaware unconscious consciousness, as if he was enjoying a very long deep sleep or coma. Which is blissful, but then God it seems wanted to wake up from his deep dreamless comatose sleep as the desire to participate in his dreamscape reality was an option, or, for want of a better word, was a potential that could be actualised.

It’s me that plays hide and seek with myself. I know all is God, but I’m aware of separation too. So it’s me that hides my knowledge from people who are not me, even though I secretly know others are me. It’s not like I can tell my friends and family that I am God. They’d just laugh and say no you’re not. That’s why I have to pretend I’m a human being just to fit in with the others who haven’t awakened yet to their sovereignty.

To me, it doesn’t matter what it is. I don’t even need to find it as if it was separate from me. I’m it already. That’s all there is to know for me. I know I am God, and that’s enough. I don’t need to explain what God is just that it is. I’ve known I am God all my life.

Mark Twain, suggests a liberation from self-consciousness to fully embrace a moment of pure, uninhibited joy. I’ve watched babies, toddlers, lambs, foals and kittens jumping around like they’re on fire, like there’s no one watching. It’sa pure uninhibited natural joy of not caring about being perfect, or wanting to be liked, but just being comfortable in your own skin.

Sweeeet!

Nothingness or emptiness exists as a placeholder for everything infinitely for eternity. Emptiness is hidden within the fullness that’s already here within plain insight.

Even no man’s land is it. It is and is It. It’s the question and answer both simultaneously. No word can define IT, or, every word define IT… even not it ..is it.

Unborn Tao….The answer to the question “what is”? Is.. the one asking the question is being perceived and observed. There’s something that is aware it is aware.

LOL

Raising your game/vibration. Now. Woohoo. Yah baby, lets Love, Laugh, joy, dance, hug and cry.

@Ishanga Nice!

@CoolDreamThanks Nice!

Yes, this is being perceived/observed. There can be a desire to want desire fulfilled, and there can be also a desire to return to not wanting anything. Dreamscape is alluring, the yank back is optional though, not a necessity. The observing could want it, but never actually need it,

Yes, but being real with you must also include hiding from you, so that you may shine too. Otherwise, God would be confined to shadowland. God hides so that you can appear 'This town ain't big enough for both of us'.

Awakening happens when you realise nothing is manifested.nothing is needed, no attachment, no desires. You’re just “here now” not seeking anything.
