Excellent question. You seem well on your way.

@JoshB Take a read carefully of what everybody is saying here. You seem to be misinterpreting everything to suit your own worldview. Seriously sit down, read, and fully understand what exactly is being said.

Im saying you ARE the source of the reaction & the emotion.

Thats not the suggestion. I personally suggest harnessing egoself to break free of abuse. Do not tolerate that shit. Just realize it is not the dropped ice cream cone that induced your anger. It is your reaction to it. The anger is aroused of self. That is perfect and beautiful. Utilize that survival mechanism. It is placed there for a reason. Do not tolerate abuse.

This is an insight of self transcendence. It is not that you as egoself becomes an all supreme being & can do however you please. Is it in recognition that egoself is falsehood that consciousness expands to include all authority imposed upon your limited self. You merge with God, but not in the sense you may initially imagine this.

It doesnt seem relevant until its time to wake up. And then youll wish you took the time to understand dream mechanics

There you go now you're onto something.

Nobody is saying you must be selfless in the face of cruelty. That's counter productive. We are simply attempting to provide you the pointers to see within yourself the very source of your own upset. It is none other than?

Don't assume what I or anybody else here has been through. You are operating from self right here as we speak. That is the source of your anger. Your anger is not a magical spell placed by anybody else. It is a spell of your own mind/body ego unit. Regardless of circumstances. A child drops his ice cream cone, he gets angry. Is the anger placed within him magically by the ice cream cone itself? Or does it arise of himself? Of his own internal workings?

Yeah if that arouses anger that is out of ego reaction. Anger arises of the self. If you were completely selfless you would not need to defend yourself from abuse. The reaction of anger would not need to arise. Anger is an internal mechanism that forces reaction.

The entirety of the cosmos is held within your eye. You are incessantly in touch with it. It is as a constant signal, not a representation, but rather as a presentation emanating from imagination itself.

Of course anger arises within and of truth. But it is a 'direct result' of ego defense. You can see this if you trace the cause & effect of it in direct experience. Everything you see from ego perspective, is interpretation. All anger is a survival mechanism created by the ego. From my current perspective, given my operating system and current state of consciousness, I see that anger can provide the ferocious aggression necessary to ward off a threat to survival. In these cases its better to work with the anger than simply let it go. This is not to say that anger does not have the capacities for ruinous properties, or cannot cause internal or external harm. I feel it should be minimized in modern human life, where reasonably possible. It is important to see it from all lenses.

Are these clips of a broad spectrum of ideas? Are they strictly enlightenment focused? Or are they including things such as human relations and career/financial success? Are they conveniently categorized by these general slices of information? Say for example 'Dating, relationships, sexuality' focused clips all together in one? Are they further categorized by specific area within such a slice? Perhaps that is too much, they all blend together to some degree. Are there clips about psychedelic/navigating altered states?, or is that too serious to condense into a short form media? How deep do the philosophical insights reach with such a form of presentation?

Leaving the house is a dangerous place. Being in the house is a dangerous place. Sleeping is a dangerous place. Hell, even your dreams are a dangerous location to your dream self. Welcome to limited existence. Pick your poison. Everybody has personal style & chemistry. There is no obligation to 'keep up' as you might be able to tell by some of our members here :} State alteration is not a requirement, but it sure is wicked useful. Insights are cool, but that is only the tip of the insight iceberg. Insights go wayyyyy beyond cool. Insights can be awe inspiring, terrifying, beautiful, magical, unsettling, love inducing, disturbing, incredible, hellish, divine, good, bad, or indifferent. Insight can be survival assisting or stifle those abilities. It can be traumatizing, or healing in masterful ways. You could never imagine what insight is capable of without first having it, as insight itself is what lies beyond your current vision & imaginative capabilities. It is like breaking through into another layer of reality. Like living your entire life in two dimensions, suddenly to realize there is a third.

If Truth were to have no mode of outward expression, precisely that would be Truth. Truth is, no matter what it is.

'only' its meaning & existence, is dependent upon knowledge, association, understanding, perspective, interpretation, state of mind/deciphering mode, state of consciousness, & sense of reality. Many factors. Without these there is no 'only'.

Up until the moment where you wake up. From where it all comes immediately clear. But what do you wake up to? That is the question. Can you wake up to anything more than just another dream?

Floating in a vast empty expanse. Don't identify too much with our little speck. That too could be deception.

Where does planet earth sit? upon nothing of course! the 'only' way it could be.

We all know how awake it is to feel inside a dream.

If you wish to wake up you better be sleeping.

Do you know what this is? A mirror Do you know how they work? A reflection? Find greatness within. You, if taken seriously enough, may just find that it is within yourself of what you speak on.

You may just encouter it this way ! Fun fun!

Magic Pure magic Through Imagination Through setting up Illusory divisions within itself Through differentiation of the undifferentiable Via creating structure which has no ground, distinction which has no opposite A forgetting of unity Fantasy, through means of having no alternative, so it cannot be separated from what is real.

No place like home. I feel similarly to how is expressed in these words. I find this place is one of the most effective tools for the refinement, correction, expansion, broadening & deepening of my personal understanding of not only the whole of existence/consciousness, but also the separate parts. We learn how each 'individual' fragment functions within it. We come to learn and understand how the parts relate to one another, what the various possible interactions are, and how they relate to the whole. We come to see how the parts & the whole are not so distinct. While simultaneously remaining in touch with the nuance of fine detail & distinction. We can develop a deeper understanding of subtlety, while at the same time through reconciliation seeing that it is all in perfect unity. This is the perfect place for that! Say any word, you choose, perhaps, for example: 'only' & like clockwork, the rabid wolves or hyenas –the pack– will come to tear shreds of it. Through this is found deeper personal vision on our own blindspots, misunderstandings, & misinterpretations. I love recursion!!! Also, I clear out my cache regularly here, for the sake of personal clarity. I hope in the future we can bring it all back to the surface. But for now, what is hidden remains as so. I sure would love to see it some day. ;}
