Jim: “I see myself in the mirror”. Peter: “I see myself in the mirror”. Jane: “I see myself in the mirror”. The nature of the inquiry is if there really is self & other, and the hearing of the answer is said to be contingent on it coming, from someone else.

@EmptyVase Lovely.

Explore non-drama.

There’s no “ I “, sans a thought that there is. Same for physics. It’s that it’s simplistic / self-evident...infinite can not know finite. Without deflection, projection, & ignore-ance, which you’re free to employ, it starts becoming rather obvious.

Fear is a belief. You’re making it up. Fear doesn’t exist. You can not ‘be fearlessness’, any more than you can experience or be ‘unicorn-less-ness’ - because unicorns already don’t exist. You can however, see that you’re making it up. Notice the audacity of the assumption ‘fear is out there’, or ‘everyone of course experiences this fear’, or, ‘I am not the creator of experience’.

You can believe in unicorns and leprechauns as well, but good luck loving them (actually finding them).

Nobody stopped nowhere.Your ideas of consciousness(es) are actually ideas, and that idea that an idea is other than an idea, is the illusion. Nonduality points to ‘not two’, you and consciousness, or consciousnesses. Precisely because there is only consciousness (not two) there is no such thing as a problem. If you say there is, you create that experience, as you are the creator of the reality you’re studying. When one finger of self-indulgence points, there are three pointing back, yet noticed. You haven’t yet recognized the distinction between your finite ideas and infinity, or, consciousness. This is like thinking about what hot chocolate tastes like, and in believing the thoughts, believing something is known about hot chocolate, when the thoughts are known, and the hot chocolate is not experienced. This is not the direct experience, or taste of, hot chocolate. A million pages on the hot chocolateses never amount to even a wiff of the actuality. Quantum mechanics, general & special relativity have always been unified btw. Only ignore-ance appears to separate.

See it on a dreamboard. It brings how you want life to unfold into focus, and it does. There’s a belief to be let go. Most thoughts come & go unfettered, but that belief can be spotted in that is elicits a reaction when that topic, category, or thought arises. A feeling that is undesirable accompanies the belief. In non-reaction, & non-believing the thought, how one has identified with the belief is recognized. The feeling is recognized as the related only to the occurrence of the thought. The feeling is listened to, rather than the thought believed. Focusing on fearlessness is perpetuating the belief that that feeling, is fear, when it’s not. “Fear” is a label, a thought, not a feeling. Focusing on what you want on your board, seeing it in front of you brings the limited belief up and out. Let go of what you’re been unwilling to let go of. Experience what you have ruled out thus far. One can take a look around at one’s life and see the story ones been telling. One can tell the story of wanted, and one will see that all around as well.

In letting go of the story of me, there never was fear.

@VictorB02 Yes! ?

Ego, death, thinking, vantage, stubborn self, killed, others, escape...are all a priori.

Heaven is amazing.

Advancing what?

@James123 Yes, absolutely. ?? Only if the thinking arising “what” is “it” does “it” seem as if “it” is not nothing. Meanwhile, the “thinking” is nothing. It’s a trolling-for-of-by-beauty thread, imo.

@Gesundheit Look at their work. What is it.

@Gesundheit Absolutely, yes.

@lmfao The point of pondry perhaps, is precisely that there is no one there. @Gesundheit

@Rolo You, “the hooker”, might benefit from a dreamboard. Alluring, but you’re the the pole & the fish.

@Endangered-EGO It doesn't matter what I say, so long as I sing with inflection that makes you feel I'll convey some inner truth or vast reflection. But I've said nothing so far, and I can keep it up for as long as it takes, and it don't matter who you are, If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks. Because the hook brings you back, I ain't tellin' you no lie. The hook brings you back, on that you can rely. There is something amiss, I am being insincere. In fact I don't mean any of this, still my confession draws you near. To confuse the issue I refer, to familiar heroes from long ago. No matter how much Peter loved her, what made the Pan refuse to grow was that the hook brings you back, I ain't tellin' you no lie. The hook brings you back, on that you can rely. Suck it in suck it in suck it in, If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn. Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see what you're doing to me, this MTV is not for free, It's so PC it's killing me, so desperately I sing to thee of love. Sure, but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self, and I can't keep these feelings on the shelf. I've tried, well no in fact I lied, could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside to hide or slide, I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died and only then shall I abide this tide of catchy little tunes, of hip three minute ditties. I wanna bust all your balloons, I wanna burn all your cities to the ground. I've found I will not mess around unless I play then hey, I will go on all day. Hear what I say, I have a prayer to pray, that's really all this was, and when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because the hook brings you back, I ain't tellin' you no lie. The hook brings you back, on that, you can rely. John Popper, waf harmonisist.

Which way though?

‘What’ makes ‘love’ ‘the exception’.

If nothing lasts forever, what makes love the exception?

@Beginner Mind Thanks, you as well.
