@sleep Godspeed. Yes, love to hear back from ya. ?

@Mosess Coulda just led with that you know.

@LastThursday What a refreshing thread man. Can I say that without it being validating, or taken to be implied as intended to be validating? ? I don’t know but it doesn’t seem so. But that’s just on me. Lol! Or reversed, and projected ‘back onto me’ that it is said for sake of self image inflation, for ego to be stroked as it is an “astute” or “genuine” or “insightful” ploy of a comment, and thus it can only be a seeking of validation? Is it arrogant on my part to even have used the quotations on... ‘back onto me’? L.m.a.o. Seems simple, like, “great thread, vulnerable comes to mind, from the heart, cutting the shit so to speak, a thread of a place of ‘real’ expression”. ....But then there is also the experience right now of realizing there isn’t even a clear knowing of what those emoji’s mean, or are intended to imply, if they even are intended to convey anything. Lol! What do emoji’s imply lol! I don’t know! I commonly think so but I don’t really have any idea. It initially seems like an extremely light shame oriented triple emoji, sort of eye roll like ‘get over yourself’, or ‘here he goes milking even the vulnerable thread’. Can’t stop laughing! Literally no idea what’s going on. Not adding an emoji now in an attempt to convey this laughter is lighthearted and that that isn’t in any disagreement or dissonance with having used the least popular word on earth, shame, in the explanation. But now I’ve said it twice! Lol! And now I’ve accused someone of “shaming”, the antithetical of the holy grail the format is made for!!!! The peace that surpasses all understanding, and yet doesn’t stop the show at all. Great thread dude.

The ‘better’ half of my posts are a vague rambling void of any actual insight or utilization. More an opportunity than a flaw, but accurate nonetheless.

That question is like the original question. These can’t be answered, but only because the premise is an assumption. (That there are humans, and that there is already evil). Without the thoughts, in the clouds in the sky sense, the clear sky is readily absolute certainty. Knowing there is no evil is really more acutely knowing the love. Delusion naturally falls away and becomes light, and funny. Where then, is the evil, other than in thought? And what is not convinced? Right on. Stick with direct experience. Nothing is hidden. Reality is the Self, ‘it’s’ self evident. Sans only thoughts to the contrary. Reality can’t of course be found. Thoughts can be let go. True nature does what ‘it’ does. Fills ya up. Right on. Keep inspecting assumptions. Thought experiments are very helpful for shaken em out of the bushes. ??

There isn’t a separate self, there are self referencing thoughts. Thoughts which go unnoticed, “me”, “my”, “I”, “mine”, etc. This is thought attachment, or attachment to finite thoughts which identify, or, the finite mind. When these thoughts are inspected and seen through, it is nothingness, infinite intelligence, which see’s through. The trap at hand is the dualistic nature of the self referential thought attachment, combined with the narrative about said separate self “being nothing” and “being made” infinite intelligence. That is what’s already the very awareness of these un-inspected thoughts. “It” is actually you, and as such “it” is uncovered, by you. This is the greatest joy in all of life. TLDR: Without the thoughts to the contrary..... there’s just that which you’re asking about. This is reality, as in pointing to what is actual right now. No one could tell you what “these” are, because it’s you. If interested, meditation. ?

@Brandon Nankivell 1. Obviously there would need to be people first. This is self evident. 2. Also seems obvious. ?

It’d be most helpful imo to be aware of thought’s about a you going into nondual awareness.... ...the off shoot is believing thoughts about there being a “duality”, and a you identified with it. Paying attention, inspecting these thoughts, unravels the pattern, and uncovers “the now”, or presence, being. That veiling narrative happens literally one single thought at a time, always in the exact same now. Noticing it is effortless. “Body” is only the thought “body”. There’s no “ghost” in “a body” attached somehow. It’s thought attachment. Meditate daily, first thing in the morning. Again in the afternoon. Try telling the story of when “you first attached to the body”. Have a laugh. ? It’s a funny story when inspected, and having a laugh when spotted, it breaks the chain. Who’s that all about there? In a literal sense, who are you even thinking about? There’s no chest moving in & out of stuff. Nonduality isn’t some kind of haunting. Right now, awareness is aware. Inspect thoughts about yourself, about time, about nonduality & duality ?.

Will never be possible.

@sleep It might not have anything to do with the internet or the content focused on, but the relationship between you & You so to speak, and the dream in you that you want to focus on & create together. Give this a quick read, and listen to this. Then this, then this. Love to hear what you think. This is a meditation specific to what you described. Go for walks, spend time in nature. Get away for a while if you can, away from your norms. Get something cathartic on the calendar. A retreat, float tank, or something like reiki, or a massage. Something newish can be a fun & easy way to change focus, wake up a bit and change a pattern effortlessly, inspired. Watch for the trap of believing you need something so you can change the viewership. By spending time without screens, being, good feeling, floats automatically. It’s not per se something you can even do. You’re intrinsically good. Just focusing that goodness in a direction that is leaving you uninspired. Also consider your power as a creator & as a contributor, which is so inherent, effortless and consistent in all of us it’s actually super easy to miss. If the creators of those videos had no viewership, they’d have no means to continue. You hold more power than you might realize. Truly, you’re loved in all cases, no matter what you do. You literally can’t get it wrong. That love can feel weighty when we’re not giving our best though. You’re the present brother, the gift. Open it up. It’s good. Super good. You’ll be amazed by what you got in you.

@sleep You can tell a human is bullshitting by the moving lips. But the duality of language is all we have to communicate, at least linguistics wise, to conversationally point to that there is a truth. The truth literally can not be spoken, no one can tell you who or what you really are. (Imo) Thought is for communicating and choosing, exercising preferences (creating). Trusting what someone else says would be misuse of thought, which would feel off. Trust is not a proper lens for thought to begin with. Contemplation, proposing a question and receiving insight directly from our source is direct, and strengthens intuition. Noting that, always listen to your own intuition, which is not a thought, and is not dual like thought. It might be helpful to view conversations as ‘the middle’ or ‘where we meet’, existential or otherwise, as Epistemology which is essentially the philosophy of knowledge, all of which is an illusory appearance, or duality. But again, linguistic communication wise, that’s what we have to work with. For some, it is a passion, an art, and imo quite beautiful, and there is an large spectrum of helpfulness when it comes to pointing. There is also the relativity, or ‘where you’re at’ to consider, and at times one ‘pointer / teacher’ is better than others, yet things can go full circle, and a ‘pointer / teacher’ which didn’t resonate before can suddenly strongly resonate, or help things ‘click’ into place. Skepticism is scrutinizing or doubting knowledge, healthy (imo). Cynicism is one’s own attitude of distrust of others based on their motives and intentions, and (imo) can be healthy and unhealthy. I would then default to your intuition. Every human which speaks, also eats, and no human will ever be perfect, because reality is already the truth, perfection. What you might be looking for, what might resonate is Brahmavihara. To really inspect, it is most helpful imo to recognize one can not think perception, nor perceive thought. Awareness is directly aware of thought, and of perception. Self doubt (again imo) is never justifiable, or appropriate, because it is self referential thinking (thinking about yourself, when your self is already the awareness of thoughts) and it is always ‘off’ in terms of feeling, but one must decipher between thought-doubt, and self-doubt. Again, default to intuition, and or contemplate a question with source. Feeling on the other hand, never fails, and is never wrong - yet is the most misunderstood misinterpreted subject matter on earth, apparently imo. A great habit whenever you are experiencing a ‘problem’, is to flip your own script. Say ‘this is not a problem because_____’ and let the ‘problem perspective go’, and source will fill in that blank from goodness. That positions the mind, or yourself, to be the benefactor of the deepest teaching of the best teacher, life, and suffering. At ‘the end of the day’, you are the authority.

Direct experience. Who cares about the “rubbish”, it’s really just thought about someone’s direct experience anyways. There are experiences to be had that are not only unbelievable, but are beyond understanding & explanation. The best experiences ‘of’ reality are the meta spiritually speaking, and aren’t shared publicly, in the same sense the best bands will never get signed. The ‘average person’ would not be able to relate at all, to the degree they’d say you’re lying, a charlatan, crazy, or all three. Direct experience reveals you can even offer this for free, and people will still call you some degrading identifying name without even recognizing their mental dissonance. Reality only seems consistent. But in actuality you aren’t. It’s hard to grasp if Siddhi’s are real because the mind can’t grasp what is not in it. Siddhis are more real than cars & houses. They’re experienced post the finite mind being suffused, post identity. There’s no concern of anyone using them inappropriately because there is no such thing as anyone using them, which is likely why they’re ‘rare’.

Seems like common sense. “When you train us to be like you, know that it is only for you”. Especially that.

@Javfly33 ?

Roger. Congrats guys!

I don’t recall saying that no thought means enlightenment, if I did I misspoke. I agree with your recognition of truth in regard to that otherwise dog-matic assumption. While I wouldn’t suggest your dog is enlightened, I would suggest it is not possible for your dog to be enlightened, because it is already enlightenment. If a thought arises to the contrary, let it go, don’t be it’s bitch. Thought is the activity of the finite mind. Thinking and thinker, are belief, and are the looping & perpetuating of this activity. In more intense experiences, rumination, overthinking, anxiety, etc. Brought to rest though, insights begin to arise within and fill the meditative mind with it’s own true nature of infinity. An apparent series of insights (plural & individual) ensues. The nature of these insights is the inevitably of the finite mind ‘eating itself’, ultimately casting itself aside like a space suit that got you here and no longer fits, and is no longer necessary. @Javfly33 ?

@Adamq8 ?? ?

You couldn’t be lame if you tried. Like a woman at a urinal, there is simply nothing to shake. Nonexistence is a thought. Like unicorn. There ain’t one. Existence is not a duality. You are not a duality. There’s no “it”. That’s the implied duality, which there isn’t. You’re shaking nothing. What’s really happenin over there? Is awareness to you? Or is awareness aware of the thoughts, ‘you’, ‘me’, ‘his’, ‘hers’, ‘mine’, ‘my’, etc. What is a ‘my’ ‘awareness’? Seen that? Heard that? Thought that. Anybody seen my outer monologue? I seem to have lost it. It must exist, just can’t seem to find it.

You can’t think death or nonexistence because reality is nondual, and you are ‘that’, or if ya like, ‘this’. ‘It’. Is. This. Not the thinking about a thought you can’t even think! Surrender the nonsense! Be done with it! Acquiesce to the R?al. Align yo ‘self’. So lame dude. More of the same nonsensical references to thought of not even anything. I’m saying exactly what you think I’m saying. You = Magic.

It’s just a lame paradigm. Breathe in this prana, slap yourself, splash some cold water on your face, recognize you’re pretending you’re serious and be sincere, and shake it off. Change perspectives like you’d change liquid pairs of transparent shoes. Always coming or going, never fixed, never expected to be fixed, right, etc. Need is a belief, ‘disconnective’ of truth, of source. Imagine standing in front of an audience...”ok everyone, what I need you to do”. Most people would already feel the discord. Motivation is the avoidance of unwanted. Motivation for survival needs is the avoidance of death, which is literally love, which you’re trying to align with. Love is not lame sir. This paradigm is lame. Wanting is connective. Wanting is infused with feeling. Inspired. Inspiration. Feeling is not a paradigm. Feeling is not a paradigm about yourself. You’re not in a future. You’re presence. Intelligence and feeling are not in a future, ‘they’ are obnoxiously abundant right now. Stop expecting ‘them’ to be in a future! Life is like “you’ll enjoy this moment or else!”, cause ‘it’ LOVES you that much. Ain’t nothing you can do about that. Can’t escape this love. Come up with all the conditions you can, love is like “whatever, ‘thoughts’ “. Don’t ‘double up’ on discord using me calling your paradigm lame. It is lame. If you notice you are, that is ‘beating up’ on yourself. It’s mechanical, robotic, asleep, reaction, and it will not do. It isn’t true, it isn’t you. It is so far off from how amazing you truly are, and what you’re capable of, and it is not indicative of the simple unavoidable fact that you actually love everything. Jump off the thought cliff. Free fall into now, not a story about you. Mother loving you bro! You! Look around, the “answer’s” in the room, and in your heart, not your head. That’s just a preference tool, nothing more. Comparing yourself to the you in the past - or is that just a thought? Now? The very habit you’re letting go of...? My neighbor isn’t focused on a problem and has no clue what you’re talking about. Yes. It’s like saying “this, this is shit. In the future though, this might be better”. That’s thought attachment. That’s believing you’re an object in time. There’s no future. That which is appearing as this will also be that which is appearing as that. ‘Your’ thoughts are perfectly accurate in their depiction of this “past” you speak of. ‘Your’ thoughts are also perfectly accurate of a “future” you speak of. What say you? And it shall be. You came here to bring the love & inspiration, to kick ass and have a good time. Not to find something to point a finger at. Not to “get to the bottom of the problem”, not to solve lack. Rather, to enjoy the miracle of focus, and not to take it, life, or experience (NOW) for granted. Throw your whole consciousness work paradigm in the garbage. Every morning when you wake up - notice you did. That’s an unexplainable miracle. Don’t go to the screen, don’t go to thinking about your “situation”. Don’t go to your thinking about what other people think. Put headphones on. Sit still for ten minutes. Inspire and awaken yourself. I triple dog dare you to not allow your body to move to the music. If you can do that you’re a ‘better’ man than me. But not as Happy. It’s ok to be crazy you know. You don’t have to live in anyone else’s world. Tomorrow, wake up, take a piss...and then listen to this. Let the content go. It’s not about the content. FEEL the frequency. You’re entire life will change.

Thinking you’re thinking what other people think is a consciousness zapper. Being you is nothing like the experience of other people. Not even remotely similar. Being you is a real miracle.

You are shining brightly for all to see. Nothing is hidden.

@bejapuskas Nothing specific. A google of ‘how to deeply connect with your partner’ will bring up some good articles.

Death is like sleep & nonexistence in that there is no direct experience of these, sans this, which can’t be named or thought, and yet appears to have meaning. Again, it only seems some thing is being denied because it seems some thing is known. If thinking, think both, neither, all & none.
