  1. @aklacor727 One consideration is that of an actuality of creating & co-creating vastly transcendent (prior to) to abstract models of the projection of mind. “Using” reality, so to speak, which is only ever here & now and does not comprise of past or identity. Perhaps a dreamboard for you, and your s.o., and one shared is the pointing to this. Have to taste it to see. The sameness prior to the fleeting thoughts of difference is delightfully sweet, and most satisfying. If you’re a science buff, you might allow the coagulation of the life and the apparent particle sharing the same true nature of a knowing of what is, or a dreaming and knowing of what’s coming, what’s being created, creating. Where, ultimately, does ‘who each other are’ really ever arrive, but ‘back’ here in the shedding of projections... now, present and aware of creating, here, now, appearing & becoming. The supporting of each other’s creating, and the lifting of it in togetherness as such, as well. Two people knowing what they are wanting, and sharing this adventure, doesn’t know differences between as no mind is paid to what separates.
  2. @John Iverson You can’t be unconditionally loving to someone, that’d be the condition...that there is a separate you and therefore a separate someone. You can not, not be you. It is love ‘itself’ which rises as the mind, which then holds that it can find itself, by being found in ‘something’ outside of itself. The ‘substance’ of the very activity, is the the love you truly are.
  3. @raphaelbaumann What if the price of admission to Disneyland was forgetting who you are, and while on one of the rides, some dude tells you you’re dreaming Disneyland. You’d be like, yeah right. Ok buddy.
  4. @zeroISinfinity I love you. I know. Same love bruh. Ya. Can’t beat God indeed. Can’t fear coming to this love either. (Subtle sneaky op call back)
  5. @zeroISinfinity If it doesn’t feel good, it’s the thought. The believing of the “I do not put up well” thought, and the believing of the “someone’s blaming me & guilt tripping me” thought. The protective aggressive response is not a response, but a reaction from believing of the thoughts...which are not true...which is why they don’t feel good... to the truth. “I can dream up & create & do anything I want to, and I can enjoy it, as I know it will be experienced in & as this now, this dream, this ‘one moment’ at a time-ness -so, no big deal really”....feels good. *Feels good “to me” though. You get to do your own feelin, your own exploring of this mind of God, so to speak. Ya don’t even have to focus on this person’s business, if it doesn’t feel good to you. They have their own thought & feeling relationship, or at least we can deduce and assume they do, and relish in the mystery that Is. ?
  6. @Rasheed Compare to discover nuance. What is the experience of being present like, compared to the experience of not being present?
  7. The goodness that you are. There’s no ‘you inside there’ to protect from anything, and there isn’t any reason to judge anyone or thing as bad or wrong. It’s the thoughts that don’t feel good, because you’re good.
  8. A couple years of three hours a day meditation, if I heard him right, sounds pretty on. One would have to first do that to be able to see if he is gifted. Then they wouldn’t of course.
  9. The origin of the word medi-tation is - middle way. You might say the ‘middle’ is between source and the apparent person source is appearing to be. All tension, stress, etc, is source identifying as a person. It is the resistance of Being, being, Being. Source being a ‘person’...no tension, no stress, no states. An identity trying to feel better, chasing states..tension, stress, etc. So how to let go of the thoughts which are being believed which constitute the “identity”? Let EVERYTHING go, via meditation. Give it ALL to Being. Rather than expecting anything from Being.
  10. @mandyjw Eight year old daughter wrote in Father’s Day card she made.. Thanks for “being” such a great dad. I jokingly said, you might have the quotations on the wrong word. She said I know, that’s why it’s funny. ?
  11. @The_Searcher I get what you mean. Do you get what I mean when I say time can’t show you anything about yourself, because time does not exist? Planets orbiting the sun, all kinds of apparent change happening, like the using of calendars & clocks, yes, but actual time passing, ...no. If you focused on say, what other people think of you or potentially think of you, a lot, let’s say for a few days straight, and then went to a party...you’d probably experience it as apprehensively, or through shyness. If you focused on what you love most, fantasized & envisioned all the things you want to create & experience in life, flipped all that you know you don’t want, to the opposite, and focused on thought about all that you do want.... for a few days straight, and then went to a party...you’d probably not experience it as apprehensive or shy. You’d probably share a little about what you’re into and excited about, and in kind you’d probably be interested in what other people are creating in their lives. Though there isn’t time...there is momentum with respect to what thoughts you focus on. The focus, thoughts, and momentum, are in no way whatsoever separate of, the entirety of your relative experience of reality. Simply put, you experience more of what you focus on. It’s a tricky ‘thing’ though, like trying to see if the refrigerator light stays on when the door is closed. Because experience is one, without time, without pieces or parts...it’s a bit hard to notice one’s own influence. But nonetheless, it is present and known, by what you are creating - how you’re life is going relative to what you want...or by how you feel. Some might say experience showed me I am shy and fearful, and now I’m stuck in feeling low and not too excited about life, don’t know who I am, and don’t know what I want. While others say experience showed me being shy and fearful doesn’t feel so hot. I must not be shy and fearful, cause it’s not fitting well.
  12. Investigate. Up to you. Imo, those are thoughts arising, but there isn’t any actual thing they’re about. Like the thought “brain”. No. Just feeling. Like how you might use an eye to look into a microscope, through but with and through feeling.
  13. Yes. “Body” is a word you learned, which appears now in the form of a thought. A body has never existed. Just the thought, and not even. “Is there still awareness of the body after clinical death?” That question is asked on the assumption that “body” is something which is “alive” and is something other than a thought, which one day “dies”. From those assumptions, awareness is in question as to wether it carries on “after the body dies”. Appearances come & go. Awareness does not come & go. Awareness appears.
  14. That’s the point of the inquiry. To realize awareness is not dual, it is ever present and infinite. There’s no on & off to it. Yes. You can ‘look for separations’, and realizations might occur. Look at see. Is there a “thing”...and a “you”? How are “they” separate? Right. Notice you are directly aware of the thoughts...and you are directly aware of the sensation. You “mix” them to arrive at the concept of identity, creating the experience there is a you and a pain and a foot and a there and an I which could lie to a myself. As feeling, awareness...”feel into” the sensation “in the foot”, investigate it via feeling. See exactly, precisely, acutely, what the pain is, as literally as possible.
  15. @ArchangelG How are you conceptualizing definitions?
