This question wouldn’t arise, if the answer was already known. Where is God is the one question to all our answers. God has always existed therefore has known himself forever, “you” being God's body. The vessel for spirit to experience aliveness. Infinitely conscious.

I think it’s a shut up made up, reminding ourselves that God knows you, and that you don’t know God. Eh!

‘And the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.’ Ecclesiastes 12:7

Did God not want them to see him? Rather, God just wanted them to know him through the recognition that there can’t be two seers having a face off with each other?

Solitude is your true home, the home of perfect peace and harmony. No one wants to live there. 👻

And God said: Earthly man is not man enough to take my woman. 😉

That’s the one question to all our answers.

Consciousness comes from the curiosity shop.

Yes, you are no one. That’s the ultimate polarity of creation in this conception. No one is one.

No one knows infinity because no one is Infinity. No one can know because no one is the “Knowing” that cannot be known.

I enjoy reading the conversations here. Nice forum. Highly conscious humans here. 🙂

The void, rather than being an empty nothingness or a definitive conclusion, is the eternal, primal substrate from which all reality emerges and to which it eventually returns. The void is not the end. It’s what has always been. Pick your death sting. Is it better to be aware you are dead, or, unaware you are dead?

Nice! I know what you mean. Thanks for your insightful comment. This is why I love coming to read this forum.

That’s a blinding irrefutable truth. Thanks for posting the video. Here’s a weird thought ▶️existence had to exist as ‘you’ right here now , just so that your parents could meet up, fall in love. and copulate. 😍 lol.

Nice! 👌

@Breakingthewall Okay.

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.
