@Javfly33 Is there or is there not, the actual direct experience, of talking to your self? Or is there a safe guarding at play against what is only the thought that you are?

And what did she reply to that?

@Javfly33 I just want to know the truth. I is a thought repeated, believed, assumed, more than a thought inspected. The truth is not a concept an “I” can know, because I is a concept. All that “need” transpire, is the recognition of how much you’re thinking & talking, about yourself. (“Beating up on yourself” for it, is more of the same.) You are black & blue into your dream. It’s time to stop beating up on yourself. You’re Good as you are.

@Javfly33 The release is the recognition you were told this, vs realized this. The acceptance of a false authority is the loss of intrinsic curiosity, interest, eagerness to know Self. Imagine you’d never been told ‘it’s’ solipsism. Imagine there’s no you looking up to people anymore. Receive the message of the dream. When monkey mind of teaching is playing out even in sleep...it’s time to acknowledge it and liberate of it. It’s time to stop being so easy influenced by “other”. ?

Theory is away, not toward. There are no ‘things’. What if God is unconditional and is simply happy being you...while thinking on behalf of “a God” that there are ‘mortals’, ‘biological immortals’, ‘infinite time’, ‘life forms’, and ‘getting stuck’? It’s the thought there is time. There isn’t time. Infinity is infinity. (No “parts”). Inspect direct experience. Find ‘parts’. Find ‘separation’. Find division between what is seen, seeing, and knowing seeing. Find separation between thought, perception, and feeling. Recognize thought attachment. Notice the twoness of thinking. (God and ‘that’...God and ‘everything’). Can you ‘back that thinking up’...by finding this division, or twoness, in direct experience? Notice the apparent effect of thought attachment. In believing the duality of thoughts, rather than inspecting direct experience... you assume you are not aware enough. You assume you are not the awareness aware of the thoughts. ‘Not aware enough’ is a thought about yourself, only from believing there is this ‘other thing’...consciousness...which is immortal, all built in thought upon the false assumption there is consciousness and an ego. Immortal God, and myself, “the ego”. “My finite mind” is a thought. “Something beyond language” is language, thoughts. “Your thoughts, insights” is a thought, of which direct experience reveals there is no actuality.

If only people would meditate such that the thought of other people meditating is recognized as the thought of other people meditating. What a wonderful world it is.

@electroBeam Yep.

When you let go of the ‘why’ question the answer to why is readily known.

? If you want to have a monogamous relationship you can. If you want to be single and date you can. Take time to reflect on how you feel about her, and about what you really want. Express what you want openly so there is minimum room for confusion and her getting hurt down the road. Expressing is like letting go, letting blockage out. It is then much easier & very natural to focus on what you want to create & experience, and to feel the excitement of creating. Make a Dreamboard. It really shines here. What you want comes into focus easily. It also helps along letting thoughts which don’t feel good go. We experience the story we tell. How do you want the story to go?

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

@ShugendoRa Yes imo you should, as well as utilizing all other resources available. And not just one person, but multiple people. Wishing you healing, understanding, love and all the best in your life. ??

@levani The lesson I learned is not to think of these as separate things, but rather to recognize thought is thought, and instead inspect myself for what is actual & true.

It’d be like thoughts, perception, and feeling.

For each of these, feel your way to a thought that feels good to you, and write that thought....

@VeganAwake ?? ♥️ It really is The Good News folks!

‘Final awakening’ is a thought about yourself. You’re what thought is made of. Thought attachment is the missing of this (yourself), by considering if the thought is true or not. The consideration of final awakening or not, is monkey mind.

What’s not resonating (imo) is the narrative... ‘automatic negative thoughts & emotions’, the ‘mind/emotions that I keep getting 24/7 are causing this’. I don’t doubt one bit that this is how you are experiencing, but the more this is inspected and the more that thoughts which don’t resonate are let go, the more you realize you’re in control, creating the experience of suffering. If thoughts which don’t resonate have been repeatedly focused on for a long time, it would seem as if the emotion is caused by the house, or some other ‘outside’ source. When you are heading back to the house, have a piece of paper and pen at the ready, choose to be willing, and notice the thoughts that arise which do not feel good, and write them on the paper so you can see. When you spot the ‘negative meaning given to the house’, it won’t be related to the house, but to you...which it isn’t resonating with.

What is the fundamental root of desire?

@4201 Sounds like everything (& practices) is being reduced to meeting expectations, benefitting, solving a problem. Like it’s all about insights, awakening, enlightenment...vs just feeling good right now. Letting go is much deeper.

Beautiful. So true.

@Preety_India You truly are radiant & beautiful Preety. Better vibes & times are coming. ??

@No Self Absolutely.

That is incredibly insightful...no? (You ‘went into it’ / inspected / addressed it, and it disappeared...’shot out of existence’.) I do not mean this in any ‘your wrong’ argumentative sense at all...just testimony / information to consider because if might be helpful to you... I have talked to hundreds of seekers and woke folk in recent years and those impressions are not at all in accordance with what’s been seen & experienced. Not even remotely, like not even 1%. I would consider the opposite, not attributing / accrediting / associating this with spirituality, awakening or enlightenment at all. I also think there is some serious misunderstanding of some teachers in that they are suggesting you’re ‘perturbing the natural inertia and homeostasis’, or that you should be ‘trying to get distance from your ego’.

@Yoshy Love makes sense of everything. Don’t think of yourself in those ways.

It’s as it appears / is experienced...there wasn’t a universe or consciousness here before you.
