@dvdas That is a fantastic insight. Great work! Connect it to feeling suffering, or even out of alignment, and uncover limiting beliefs & conditions.

I have complete and total access of ‘your’ finite mind. I AM ‘your’ finite mind lol. It’s an appearance of me! Solipsism is a limiting belief. It limits actual self realization. That’s what “you’re” not getting, while you’re too busy making a case for it. It’s avoidance, not progress. Suppression, not liberation. It’s not a fault thing, “you” can’t understand this because a thought about transcending the finite mind is not at all the actuality of it. You’re believing rather than doing the work and transcending, imo, and appear to be stuck on mistaking the belief for the actuality. This is also why you struggle to distinguish thought & feeling properly. Scrutinize reactionary behavior and research defensive mechanisms. Just a suggestion of course, but that’d be the ideal start imo. You’ll be feeling like you’ve never experienced feeling before. That and daily morning meditation, and writing about how you feel when emotions come up and empty out. Then start considering retreats, trips, etc. Again, always up to you. Suggestions are like a buffet. Take what helps you where you’re at and leave the rest. If you read this thread from the beginning, as well as your other thread, with an open mind, you can spot the reactions and behaviors. There is more than ample evidence for you to see. “This requires proof since it's not In my experience.“ Gotta let go of “proof”. It’s no more than thoughts being believed about what is prior to thoughts.

@Someone here No!!!!!!!

@Javfly33 No!!!!!!

@zeroISinfinity Aquarius. @DrewNows Great journal! ?

No!!!!!!

Something to consider... it does appear we can be vulnerable to influence, ideas and suggestions, and we surely can be. However, we’re actually only experiencing our own thoughts & perspectives about what someone says. One of the best benefits from daily morning meditation is getting some space between awareness and arising thoughts, which is the opposite direction, or, no longer being influenced. When we do this, the misunderstandings we’ve previously filed away arise, and emotional misunderstanding empties out, and clarity, focus, concentration, joy, love, inner peace...our being, remains.

In the sense of course words are story and point out of the story...I awoke from just meditation. That’s what lead to ‘getting it’ about psych’s, and trying them.

@Raptorsin7 Meh. You’re not stubborn.

@Someone here Indeed lol. Godspeed. ♥️

@Raptorsin7 I think you’re doing great and you’ll get a lot out of those books. Give yourself some credit ya know? You are doing the work, this is the work lol, and a little recognition of that & some self-love goes a long way. All resistance in feeling, is really resistance to this crazy love that is.

In his case, rather than feeling, and doing the consciousness work of transcending the finite mind, he’d built a wall via solipsism. His relief was that he realized that he did so. Not implying that’s indicative of you or your beliefs, but that the question helped him to see that solipsism was his belief.

Can you see how that doesn’t really add up, if solipsism = Truth?

@Someone here How can solipsism be true, and yet I am on or at some higher level that you? If solipsism is true, you are the only, and or the only real, person. Were you able to understand that? I could try and state it a different way. I don’t mean that sarcastically. You have to appreciate that I don’t know what you’re not understanding because you aren’t communicating it.

Sorry. Not getting what you’re saying. What’s false?

@Member lol. We both know I didn’t do anything.

✊?✊?

I love you how you are. I don’t care how you are. I care to love, and thus I see you as you are. I play guitar & sing for God, I write for God, and only for God. I love being alone. I love togetherness.

@zeroISinfinity Meh says who. You thinkin I got somethin. I have nothing. Careful not to assume an ideal of my life. Funny thing, ya check in with black thingy who can be any thingy, and it’s being you thingy. Good enough for Goodness, good enough for youness. Even Nahm isn’t being Nahm.

@zeroISinfinity I know man, I know. I’d rather get yelled at by my wife than have her be mad at me. I’d rather get stung by a bee than worry about getting stung. You know what I mean.

@zeroISinfinity Should’ve caught me six or seven years ago for that.

Lol. Me too. Sometimes I can’t even. You’re doing great. As much as possible, notice that isn’t happening / stick to direct experience. We aren’t even designed or equipped for anything more really. This basically requires a recognition that what is actual is the perspective. It might be about a future...but notice it is not the future...it is a perspective that appeared, now. That recognition, perhaps over and over...will not only change the relationship between that thought / perspective and feeling (by putting feeling & direct experience first)...but you are solidly on the path of self realization. It only takes a glimpse of who you really are, and you’ll see that it all makes perfect sense. Again, work towards that glimpse, not towards resolving thinking which doesn’t even resonate with you. If you’re to master one thing, make it letting go of what feels out of alignment for you. Become an Olympic level letting goer. One day the profundity of the depth & empowerment of letting a single thought go will strike you like a lightening bolt of love. Wishing you all the best! ??

Took the words right outta my mouth. ☺️
