ajasatya

@Samantha can you be precise in stating what is it that you truly want and how you're planning to achieve it? when it comes down to embracing duality and acting on this world, the less abstraction the better. ideally, you should be able to come up with an action to take as soon as you close this tab of your browser. in other words, you can try to answer the following question: what should you be doing right now that you aren't? if no assertive/clear answer comes to your mind, then a lot of introspection is mandatory (if you don't want to waste time).

@Truth Addict it's not a matter of people believing you. it doesn't make any difference! it's simply a matter of contemplating what you are and having a direct experience of the purest and highest awe for existence.

@Truth Addict this current experience of GOD (ajasatya) hasn't even done 5 years. and yet, it is possible to speak from the Source, as IT desires (unconditionally!)

1) for the most pure and unconditional awe 2) no. every experience of BEING is completely new. it's impossible to reach 100%, 90%, 50%, 10% or even 1%. we're bound to an eternal 0%.

@Truth Addict each manifestation of GOD has its own map, for which there is no territory! all that exists are maps! (this is also a tiny display of the power of GOD) GOD, when conscious of Itself and embodied as a human being, will speak from the perspective of the map perceived by the "individual experience" because that's all that can be said. this is why enlightened beings have particular ways of teaching.

@Leo Gura people think that you're speaking from a logical framework in which falsity exists. they think that you're talking about an idea or a model. no manifestation of GOD can prevent GOD from forgetting what IT is. it's a movement with an inertia that's too powerful.

@AudibleLocket retreat?

who/what was the first human the afterlife of? in other words: who was the past incarnation of the first human being?

something like a person or a dog.

@CreamCat we're certainly living afterlives. and we're also the "beforelives" of... what i'm inviting you to contemplate is: are you the afterlife of an individuality?

nope. words can acquire different meanings from the ones presented in dictionaries. language is not a static phenomenon. the word "bug" is a simple example. when we study something with a specific group, it's very likely that the group will come up with its own set of meanings for certain words. this is exactly what happened to the word "nothingness", which is an attempt to point to the same "thing" as "sunyata", "buddha nature" etc. i don't know whether or not those are of your interest. in any case, i'm not trying to convince you (or anyone else) of anything. arguing is useless... you either have had a mystical experience beyond the mind or you haven't. i'm done here.

why a ghost? why not Life itself?

oops, sorry if i failed, master

there isn't any . i'm using jargons. "nothing" usually means "devoid of anything". "nothingness" usually means "pure consciousness".

@Farnaby "children" was just an example. some couples join forces to reforest the world. some couples join forces to teach yoga around the world. some couples join forces to fight against world hunger. this is what i meant by "bigger than you".

yes. i only said what i said because you seemed concerned about this whole "am i deluded?" issue. those are mistakes that i made in my own journey, thus it's very unlikely that all of them will resonate with you.

@Farnaby this is an insight i had: if you can't fully embrace something bigger than you together, then the relationship is already doomed. maybe you're too young to think about having kids and building a family. or maybe you're just not experienced enough. a longevous intimate relationship requires a DEEP link.

damn, that one was too good. i got what i needed for today. thanks.

yes, we do! i don't understand what you're saying. maybe it's because i'm a dormant noob

yes. by "yes" i mean i know that i can't speak the absolute truth. i can only share what has led me to a increasingly better experience of life.

@Truth Addict here are some signals of delusion: you become too bothered about what people - leo included - believe/say your ability to enjoy life and love people gets thrown off by your eccentricism you're unable to experience peace of mind because you're thinking too hard about spirituality/metaphysics you can't overcome the dependence on the wisdom of others you can't overcome the dependence on the use of substances that facilitate the shutdown of the mind chattering you become attached to certain ideologies

@Soul-lover 2020 persons, plants, monkeys, lions, butterflies, rocks, water, atoms etc are the avatars of GOD. GOD lives through everything, as everything. GOD lives through dogs and barks; GOD lives through birds and sings; GOD lives through human beings and composes music, writes poetry, observes the Universe (also, GOD itself) and says "I AM". GOD is creation, creator and creativity. and by "nothingness" i don't mean "nothing". this is pretty much as far as words can go.

i don't know... the body just knew it somehow.

first, i feel like introducing myself. i come from a rich family. they taught me that life could not be appreciated because there's no time for such thing. when i was very young i was sexually abused so i grew up ill. i developed peyronie's disease. everyday up to 2015, this disease caused me extreme suffering in many levels from physical to psychological. i became an alcoholic and i met my ex-girlfriend. we started to date and she showed me marijuana. then i was drinking and smoking a lot. in march 2015 we broke up after 1 year and 3 months of relationship. i experienced an even deeper suffering, which made me collapse. i started researching about true happiness and this lead me to leaving my parents' house. i quit smoking and drinking. feeling totally free, i started to experience a lot of things. many yoga classes, reiki initiations, i became vegetarian, i forced myself into starvation situations, i started to walk on the streets to see the world from below, i became a member of sukyo mahikari, i started practicing zen, i joined a group called nacion pachamama, which gave me this spiritual name "iago iriarte". i decided to read about the life of the historical buddha, which made me laugh a LOT. in july 2015 i started to study about death very deeply. in september 2015 i went through a surgery to fix my penis. for 2 months i wasn't allowed to have an erection otherwise i could break the stitches. this experience taught me to achieve celibate. in this period i went very deep into the dharma and zen. i started to drop a lot of dogma and beliefs i had acquired on my journey. i started to listen deeply to a lot of people and this experience showed me how immersed in suffering almost everyone is. this made me realize how rare was the experience i was living. i was growing compassion in my heart. listening to people and hugging them became my passion. i quit my job and went back to my parents. i started to go to retreats to expand my consciousness. i met leo's youtube channel. with his help i could have legit no-self experiences. i found nirvana, a life without craving, attachments and uncontrolled desires. i entered a master in computer science and left my parents' house again. now i'm living in an urban ashram. i added "arhatha" to my spiritual name, which is the combination of two sanskrit terms: arhat and "atha", which means "right now". i met an yogini. she takes part in ayahuasca ceremonies, which i'm gonna join soon. we're living a happy long term relationship. i started a zen sangha called "zen passo a passo" (zen step by step) and my girlfriend is part of it. the sangha is growing quickly!

because GOD is the very nature of what everything is. GOD is the ultimate experiencer, experienced and experience. it will sound crazy until you integrate a few (or several) heavy mystical experiences. nothingness is reading these words...
