If being able to sit and do nothing while feeling blissful as fuck is useless I don't know what is useful ? I'm at a point where being locked up in a cell forever would be amazing ? And you can too ?

We have to practice 100% of the time. That's how it is done. That doesn't mean sitting and doing nothing, or doing a specific technique or activity, that just means, being willing to be conscious whatever the circumstance. Seriously guys (not talking specifically to you ?), forget avout having to do x amount of yoga or meditation or whatever, those tools are only there to make you understand what being conscious is. Then you use those practices until you can't be unconscious, because that's how life is when you stop to identify as thousands of thoughts in your head. Then the real spiritual work can begins, which is to die before you die, and realize there is no death ?

What if there was no one to be enlightened ? ?

This is bullshit though ? There is no «special» activities that are more spiritual than another one. If you believe that you're fooling yourself and still create a duality. ?

??? Did you even try to meditate, let's say a month 1 hour everyday ?

It's only useless if you can be totally present each second of your life without ever identifying to the ego. That would mean you would already be meditative 100% of the time.

God isn't an ego. You're imagining and thinking about it as if it was a human being with a rigid moral code, there is no code or moral of any kind, it's infinitely free. It's infinite free, so it includes every horror possible, but it's also infinitely loving, so when there is no illusion of a separate self, it's all love, even genocide and torture. ??

Don't. They smell bad and they don't shave. Very bad idea !

Think of a pink elephant. When you don't think about the pink elephant anymore, that's death.

Exactly ? Just hold on tight Max ?

The illusive self asking an illusory question about an illusory paradox ????????

Because otherwise the illusion that thinks it needs to drinks dissolve. And you want to have fun with that illusion in this dream (otherwise you wouldn't be here talking), until you don't and let it go.

Are you implying you have an individual soul ? Because even if it was the case, it would still be the real you (the one true soul) dreaming shit up your arses ? So it only matter if you're a devoted religious person, because what you believe will be real for you. If you believe there is hell and that you will be punished if you don't act a certain way. Sure it matters, you could dream up going to hell in that case ? Your own intelligence has turned against you !

You will find another excuse later, something else than money. Don't fall in the reverse trap, which is to do nothing productive of your life, because «nothing matters anyway». Only deluded hippies use this excuse ?

How what you are could ever be a position or cultivated ? You are it already ... Happy to disagree ? Now it's dangerous for an ego to hear this, because it validate his lazyness and ignorance. There needs to be actions taken until there is the realization there never was a need to do anything ? We could say the journey was useless then, but without the journey we would never realize that nothing had to be done ?? And then you laugh your ass off of the prank you did to yourself all this time ???

Do it.

As a human, certainly, but you're not human. If you truly realise what you are, there is no need of anything whatsoever to be infinitely happy and peaceful. Even when the human you incarnate is sad you are still blissful, which can be a paradox from an ego point of view, but it really isn't. I don't know if I'm minserterpeting what you're saying or if you misinterpreted what he said, but phrased like that it isn't true in an absolute sense, just relatively when we experience life through a human mind. No you don't. It's the belief that you need something to happen, or be doing to be happy that is precisely why you aren't. Do you see a baby needing anything to be happy ? You can say that he needs to be able to eat when he's hungry and cleaned when he is dirty, and you would be right, he's still an ego, but that doesn't explain why he is blissful 99% of the time when those desires are met. And the reason is simple, he has no subconscious beliefs about what happiness is. And what happens when there is no beliefs about happiness ? You are happy ALL the time ??? You can't bring it back to the present because it's ALREADY THERE !!! Already there means you can only realize it RIGHT NOW ! And not as something else than you, because IT IS YOU ! If you were searching for your legs to walk, you wouldn't go very far would you ? ? You're like a beggar sitting on a bag full of gold, asking for some cents to eat ???

Still, it's fun to have a person you can be closer than most people and with whom you can be more intimate on a daily basis. Not necessary at all, but it's not because it's not necessary that you can't enjoy it and have fun with it if you want to

I should use a sarcasm meme sometimes

It's what is aware of thinking or not thinking that is what you have to focus on, not the silence. The state you seek is there even when there is huge amount of noises and sensations. Even when your body/mind becomes unconscious, the real you is still fully conscious.

That's not non dual enough. There is no dream, for you need to think there is a dream for a dream to be. There is only it, or this, or that. If I could speak without using words I would say nothing. But we're on a forum so I have no choice to write words to look smart.

You can love everyone, but practically speaking, you can't be close emotionally and physically with everyone. So relationships still make sense.

What does that even mean ? ?

No idea, maybe because I use a night mod extension on firerox

Forget about techniques and wonder how do I become more conscious and/or more loving. There is really no techniques per say, that's the ego mind trying to find a way to go towards a goal like it always does. There is really just one thing, and It's to realize how conscious and loving you already are, and no one and no techniques can teach you that. Find a way that you like for this, a «technique», but also remember that if it is too easy, it's probably not working. It's already there, so how could a technique can do anything ? Wondering about that without thinking about it is a «technique», paradoxically. The point is, the will and the determination is more important than any techniques, because by definition a technique is mechanical, and you're not. So you will change all the time, so clinging to a technique is useless if you wanna really grow, believe it or not there is people meditating for decades and still unconscious. People who awaken are driven by a deep desire to know what the Truth is, or what true love is, and it doesn't matter what they do or not when they have that desire, life takes care of forcing them to awaken if their desire is deep enough. So ask yourself why you want to awaken. Why and for what reason ? What do you think you will get, and for what purpose ? If your reasons are deep and genuine enough, you will awaken for sure, otherwise no matter how perfect you practice a technique, it will never happen. It's about what you want, dream and wonder that counts. If you get that right, you can't be lazy anyway, not on the long term.
