Took the words right outta my mouth. ☺️

You don’t have to. All there is, is love. You don’t have to judge either. Notice it doesn’t feel good. Connect the dot. Because of the feeling of resistance. You are The Love. There never was a hate to begin with, only the thought, and the feeling of resistance to self-love, relative to the thought. Rather than considering your perspectives, own them. If it feels like shit, say “it’s my perspective”, and listen to feeling, and choose a better feeling perspective. Notice there is no effort involved in this.

It still is.

Comment & picture go together so well.

@Leilani So happy for you! Beautiful!!!!

I have a friend who doesn’t necessarily believe in solipsism, but is a bit stuck there because he is struggling to disprove or get beyond his thinking. So two days ago I asked him, what evidence could potentially surface which you would find satisfying to disprove solipsism? A few minutes ago he texted me, crying happily, thanking me. Said he’d built a wall of arrogance to protect himself from his dad. Not sure about all that, nor am I implying that’s relative to you whatsoever, but thought I’d share because he found his way beyond his own thinking in trying to answer that question.

One of the chief benefits of daily morning meditation is thinking no longer gets ahead of you, sts, telling a story, contextualizing self & experience. Then, one is positioned to tell the story they want. Even 20 minutes twice a day (with proper technique) can yield significant change in this regard. Reality is completely unconditional, and eternally patient, yet plays like a carefree lighthearted child. Stories aside, one discovers one is being infinitely loved without exception, always, now.

Yes, definitely psychedelics.

It’s just...made up. Crazy isn’t it?

My dad was (it seemed) always angry & stressed about work. It wasn’t a pleasant environment to grow in, in that way. So I learned about loa, passive income, standards & delegation, and stopped.

@Raptorsin7 Is there any curiosity in regard to ‘how would it feel to not give up’? Could be just the feeling you’re seeking. Did that Six Pillars book provide any specific insights? Also, you might consider, if it’s helpful....going back to the op...anger isn’t a feeling, it’s a perspective. Resistance to truth is a feeling.

@Nightwise How are you on the fundamentals like getting enough sleep, eating a clean diet, and daily meditation?

Get your feet nice and wet with that, and then try then same with pain. You might be pleasantly surprised, I hope so. Maybe try an intermediary step, feeling for the separation between the two. Going back to the op though, only enlightenment / awakening will do. So have such an experience. Feel into any resistance.

@Someone here There might be a conclusion about an experience via the thought of the experience, rather than from the experience. It’s just a suggestion, or pointing to a distinction that something unseen can be discovered in the actuality of the experience. That a difference between deeply suffering vs limiting or eliminating suffering is found in proper inspection, vs resistance. The resistance is easy to spot, as it only occurs in thinking, as thought. So only feeling into it, over and over, sincerely, genuinely, would do. Maybe a few days or weeks, if interested, and then make a determination.

@Someone here That was fast. How did it go? Creating Tinder profile... Tell us a little about yourself: Reference point.

@WHO IS It is.

@Javfly33 Even that there is a call for the solution can go.

@Patrick_9931 Awesome! Great start for sure. I’d surrender all of that to that superior force guiding us. Seriously. Just as soon as it bubbles up in thought, surrender it to the higher self.

If nonduality could be explained, no one would believe it. You & a universe is two. Nothing is emerging to dismiss. I love creation, I’m not dismissing it. I’m saying there aren’t two. Dogma is the opposite of inspecting direct experience, or, nonduality. Yes, the idea of reincarnation is not the direct experience of it, just like everything else. Direct experience requires seeing through beliefs. Direct experience is ‘correct’, because it is direct experience. If direct experience is deception, then the direct experience is that of deception. There’s no direct experience of a brain, sans a thought, ‘brain’. The ‘brain’ appears to, but does not produce. What is can’t be predicted, it’s already what is. 100%. ?

Very understandable. You might find insight in the writings of Rumi. He wrote a lot on revealing light, divinity, beauty, truth & love from pain & suffering. There truly are no words which can communicate how the entire experience of reality can flip in regards to your op. So much so, that it couldn’t be believed or imagined, prior to experiencing it. I wish that for you very much. I feel continuing to scrutinize direct experience, especially feeling into the pain or suffering, though it is not always easy and is very counter intuitive at first, is the best way to go. I have come across people in very similar situations a few times and what I believe has been the most help is looking at events in a timeline fashion. Simple put, if you write down whatever comes to mind as events in your life in which you experienced or witnessed intense, sudden, or unfair pain, a new light shines on the situation. That light often also shines on the many other subjects or situations which were discolored by the original event(s). You might say there is a realization as to why one person can be more skewed towards the aversion than most, which occurs, or ‘clicks’ when considering events which made a significant impression. Events like spending time in a hospital, or someone passing unexpectedly, especially if you witnessed these at a young age, can be worth considering. Also, and this is a hit or miss comment...is there excitement, enthusiasm, eagerness, in your experience of living? Might be just the thing. Please don’t take this personally, but as you’ve shared at least on this topic, your outlook on the path feels a bit daunting, maybe as if it’s something you’re considering that might be ‘just something you have to go through’. I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be most helpful to liven it up, to reframe more like an adventure, a mystery to solve. If that resonates, I highly recommend Abraham Hicks on YouTube, and the book Ask & It Is Given. Sometimes people who suffer and or fear the most, become the happiest and most enlightened btw. Often, that leads to living a very fulfilling life in passion, with a profound connection of our source. Wishing you all the best. ?

@MarkKol They’re so inherently the same imo that I’d go so far as to say anyone doing only consciousness work, practices, etc, and not continuing to expand on all fronts in their life, really isn’t doing actual consciousness work or at best is doing half the ‘work’ & missing the boat on the ‘other half’. All roads lead to making this place somehow better, ideally, in your uniquely God given way. Sounds to me like you’re right on track, headed for more & more awesomeness. Keep in mind, desire or rather the experience of it, can go through shifts, similar to those explained in spiral dynamics. It also, for some, does not.
