What if someone else sees something else as true in addition to what you said. Like truth as a mathematical truth. Or scientific truth that if people learn would live better lives. Obviously Im not talking about the capital T Truth here.

@Shin What about the constant assertion of truth? Usually people believe that their belief is truth, and they assert it as such. It doesn't have to be fear, it could be simply that they don't know it's only a belief.

Forever to be watching a movie? I think I have the best seat in the house already, from which I'm also a part of the movie and watching it.

My post was not an answer, it was a buncha pixels on a screen ?

because mind wants concrete proof

Ofcourse no effort is made, that's the entire reason people always look for distractions. It is externalised awareness however, the sense of goodness of being is not being experienced if one is totally sucked in the doing. I myself enjoy watching movies or playing games, but sometimes I notice how I totally forget I am even alive. The goodness of being gone, because mind becomes completely externalised and absorbed by the stimulus and doing.

Every experience is equally infinite when seen from the absolute zero, the present moment

The Void would contain within it absolutely everything. That means the Void can be seen both as dark and empty and bright and full. In order to get to the Bright and Full, we need to see the Dark and Empty. Edit: In essence, to see the fullness of every experience one has to realize the empty nature of all experience.

I am not describing the void. If it is not clear, I already told you that emptiness, void, zero, etc are pointers. I know they are concepts. But what do they all point to? I say they point to who you are. How far in are you with your self enquiry? If you want results, you have to go for it. Void = Absence of anything Zero = Absence of anything Zeroth Dimension = Absence of anything Emptiness = Absence of anything Void = Zero = Zeroth Dimension = Emptiness = Pointers. Your true self =? Absence of anything If "Your true self" = Something, this is the current boat - This already we know is what is commonly called Ego. Therefore "Your True Self" = Void = Zero = Zeroth Dimension = Emptiness = Absence of anything. These are still just pointers, but that doesn't make the equation between them wrong. Non of them are IT. Only You are it. Go self enquire and find it out for yourself. Please don't be allergic to pointers and maths. Void, Zero, Zeroth Dimension, Emptiness, Absence of anything - They are ALL pointers, what do they point to? I say they point a finger directly at YOU.

Zero is also, in it's actual nature the absence of anything. What's your point, really? Just because we have a symbol for it, doesn't mean you are seeing zero or that it exists. 0 means the absence of anything, that's EXACTLY what it points to. Why are you against the pointer Zero and you are all for the pointer Void. You yourself mentioned that "the word void is still too much for it", this is absolutely obvious to me and everyone on the spiritual path. We know what pointers are. I don't understand how you got rep for your comment, it's obvious wtf moment from you, sorry Soul.

Don't you understand that you've never seen Zero? It Is the void, it is emptiness, all these words point to the same thing. They are synonymous. All words are pointers here as you might have guessed. Not my fault that your conditioning has made 0 into a concept for something trivial and void for something non-trivial. Did you watch the video?

Now, about this (I have copied a link with time stamp I want to talk about) I hope nobody on here gets doubts in Leo's words here. What he is talking about is literally finding less than a needle in a haystack, so for the rationalising mind it is going to sound fantastical and impossible of course. This Truth with a capital T cannot be perceived by the 5 senses, because the 5 senses originate and report to the one who can perceive this Truth, because the very one that can perceive this Truth is this Truth, it is You and it is the thing that is less than a needle in a haystack. You wouldn't be able to find this Truth if you weren't this Truth. That's how tiny it is. It is the null dimension. The haystack is all the delusion.

I laughed more at this intro than people claim to laugh at time of awakening

You want to achieve a minimalist lifestyle. Your friends are peer pressuring you into going out for some drinks! What do you say - Namaste or Yamago? Source: Funny conversation with Loreena

No need to reject what comes from the mind, just observe what comes from the mind. See that it's only a blob of dust on top of you, but it doesnt polute you, you are always pure. You allow it to be, with all its unreality, because you're love.

Found My True Elf:

For me meditation is self enquiry, the two are not different things. Have you heard of the following: Who is meditating? Meditation is not a doing. You ARE meditation. You are already enlightened. What do these point to? I once watched a video with Osho in which he say that meditation on objects is not meditation at all (He talked about mantras /transcendental meditation). Meditation, he said, is when you are alone with yourself. Not lonely, but alone with yourself. Objects removed.

Same here. It's like a dance between Truth and Ego

Self enquiry cuts you off from the stream of mind and stills the mind leaving only you. This is the very process which if used properly can make you forget even a cigarette addiction like it is nothing. It's one of the ultimate self help devices. (My view) Can you see how it works? Whenever you perceive anything, you don't go towards the object, you try to turn towards the one who is perceiving it (you are that), leaving the pattern cut off, it is no longer fed. PS: Mooji calls it marinating in the Self

Me all the time. Deal with them through self enquiry

I found you becus you're freaking everywhere!! Go on a diet pls Jesus

What Toby said. If you want higher consciousness, then you are still identified with the character and happenings in the movie and not with the screen of consciousness, which is a constant and unchanging, is within and without everything, is everywhere at the same time yet it cannot be perceived by the 5 senses.

I want to add to this: Mantra indeed is used to quieten the mind, just as concentration on breath. This, however is only a temporary ailment for mind. If one wants to be forever free from the depths of Ego, one must go for the path of Self enquiry. Self enquiry is to be done whenever possible, not only in a sitting meditation. Any time mind is not required for some task one should enquire as to whom do all these thoughts arise. This is not to be done in waiting for mind to tell you what you are. Mind already has the ultimate definition that it can use - Consciousness, Emptiness, Awareness, etc... The enquiry is to be done by the very You, the deepest sense of You that you can find within you, the very subject of your experience. Find it. Look for the apparent thinker of thoughts and the perceiver of perceptions and see who's looking.

Nothingness is real and is who I am "Split wood, I am there. Lift up a rock, you will find me there." - Jesus
