I am just now watching Leo's video on Deconstruction and am at 31st minute. This conversation came to mind. I tried to describe to you in words my present moment experience / contemplation. I was pointing at something, what I was pointing to was what I meant, which was something that was in your experience too. Like a tree, we can both point to it and say 'tree' without knowing all the other elements of it. We can point to what we mean and we can understand each other completely/100% without the need to understand every word completely/100% but only if it's something concrete. Well, on to the rest of the video. It's a fun one to play with for sure.

Selfie before the word was invented #SelfieInquiry (This was animated year 1974)

The bible is filled with Trojan horses of Truth

I believe that paradoxes are used in order to make the mind quiet by surrender. Because mind will get overloaded at some point by the mindfuck nature of a paradox.

Alternative healing is now one of my main passions in life. Anyone else have experiences with earthing? Perhaps it is right in our alley to help with energy work. The video is great!

See? Someone might come to this thread just to correct him. Absolutely genius technique by an inspired young topic starter.

Just better topic name imo, attracts more folks

I was ignorant about the fact that dogs suffer from the explosions. Ofcourse, they have hyper sensitive hearing.. But I never thought about it. I was ignorant about it, even though it is obvious once you know... Perhaps like other *fundamental* things we are ignorant of

I'm "dwelling" here, "marinating" here, being here. The movie will unfold as it is supposed to. The seeds of grace are already planted firmly. Here is a video I just popped into ^^

Who said I'm seeking infinity? That was perhaps your goal, it was never mine... I seeked emptiness and found it. It's exactly what you described in your prev post. The rest I take as it comes.

YEAH, but I don't agree 'forget other stuff', once that freedom is noticed, all other stuff are just there to play with. It's not harming us in any way to learn for example about parallel realities or any other thing. As long as we don't seek ourselves or our happiness in those stuff, it's all good

That's super strange, in my experience, running is a sure way to stop thinking. Also runner's high, ahhhh <3 I thought one of the main reason people like sports is because while you are physically active, the mind is too preoccupied/immersed in the activity to be thinking. Perhaps because you've been doing it so long it has become too routine for your mind and thats why it is blabbing about.

Lol at Bentinho - "Eckhart Tolle unicorn spirituality" Bentinho hasn't grasped the teachings. Eckhart's not teaching the words he speaks, he's teaching the spaces between them ?

Here is why spiritual teachers want to willingly DESTROY people's beliefs. To find Truth. That's the goal. How do you find truth if you placed 10000 beliefs infront of it?

No, what I mean is the image simply is. Do you deny the isness/suchness of the image you see? Although dynamic, it is here now in direct experience. Im only describing to you what I see Right now without the additional beliefs that were generated in time that i am a human looking at a world, or any other beliefs i have including quantum physics and so on. In experience, the image is one and it is surrounded by emptiness in all directions. Again, this is "open eye" investigating without referring to thoughts/beliefs from the past. This means that the eyes are also part of the visual emptiness at that moment. There are no eyes visually perceived, so it's only the image there, even if I refer to "open eyes". That's just thought. So looked in this way, there is only the image and the image is simply being, by itself. Not making absolute claims about the nature of reality or self, only trying to show you my contemplation.

The I is a thought which refers to the empty space behind the image "I see", which contains all sorts of sensations and stuff that feel like a self that is standing there looking. Also the image seen is drawn in such a way, that it seems like it is seen from the angle from which that cluster of sensations is "looking" which creates the illusion of seer and seen. While in actual experience now, it is only the image. "Emptiness looking at image" can be written more accurately as "Image simply being".

I am the screen of being and the movie is about a "real human" living "real life".

I heard that what the Ego hates is a form of moving attention around the body in a circle ⭕. Does anyone remember this post? I think it was a very old Actualized.org post that has stuck with me, but Im sure I've forgotten the actual content and reconstructed the memory slightly differently. Does anyone remember? Can you remember? I think the method was called "Around the World" or something.

What I mean you can see easily too: Just become aware of your direct experience. We're talking only about the visual experience right now. So in your experience, without referring to thought (past), what do you see? Do you not see an image just being? Only if thought gets involved there is the impression that there is a seer and a seeing. In actual experience, there is just the being of that image alone, without an entity that is being aware of it even. More like the image is aware of itself or more simply put, the image is simply being (in a mindfucky kind of way) .

But I don't see seeing as part of 'what is', I see it as an addition by the working mind in order to have this conversation. Just like the use of the word 'I', that doesn't mean that the I is there.

@WaveInTheOcean Interestingly, I just watched a video on this exact topic

"My eyes open" is just a concept in my mind. In direct experience I see an image when "my eyes are open". The "I" is just a concept "see" is just a concept, all there is is the image in awareness, which is not a seer, it is a space for this image. The image is of 3d reality and perhaps of hands in the periphery hinting at a body perceiving this. But since there is only the image present in awareness and no seer, then where is the seeing? How can there be seeing without a seer?

@Ether no, I will be mystical and say meditation does me so that my comment is more flashy

And he makes some so deluded that he would never be alone again #EgoRocks

I read it to my mother, because she keeps on judging me for my 'alternative' choices, while she drinks, eats meat etc, and because it is part of the culture it's somehow OK. But I like Indian culture more sue me Her response: Some people like poetry -.-
