@Max1993 Welcome to the forum If infinity = unlimited in any way, infinity can appear as any imaginable creation. But if infinity is consciousness, it already knows itself as that which it is appearing as. So there would be no possibility of any experience, as every apparent creation is conscious it is consciousness / itself.

It’s a lovely post and I feel ya, & I hear ya. However, you have not realized Nonduality, and you’re simultaneously creating problems for yourself unnecessarily not only with respect to this (nonduality) forum, but likely in your life as well. To claim to be a disciple in the name of anyone or anything, is to speak via the method of unaccountability. When two people do it, wars are started in this manor. Say what you like, but as yourself, you will find you are entirely accountable as such in any and every case. If you are of nondual awareness, if the Bible has ‘decoded’ before you, please share from you, from your heart, rather than under any false pretenses. There are many passage where Jesus cautioned of this very thing. And you might also want to google Jerusalem to see what’s been going on there ever since.

@Anna1 Feelin that. ?

@dimitri ??? Love you!

@Anna1 I meant the over the top singling-out-ness was getting awkward. No qualms with the brotherly love. ♥️

@Eren Eeager ? Infinite being is the sneaky one.

Somebody know’s how to pick em! A belated congrats! ??♥️

Then why are you saying this to “someone” silly pants? ♥️ The collapse of self & other is the true knowing of Love. Some call it “satchitananda”. Great story though. I’d pick teachers more wisely. The best one or two are superior to “dozens” speaking from a whim. The banter & ‘checking in’ of it is appreciated sir. There’s no better teacher however, than your own profile, and every unanswered question therein. You might even aspire to and attain the glory of the sacred moderator position. ? Too much?

Medi means middle, meditation is the middle way. Unconditional love inwardly, creation for togetherness outwardly. To be ‘in the middle’, is the unification of what appeared as two. Memories are a trick of the light, arising within you, same as all creation. The richness memory ‘brings’ could be said to be of the brilliance of yourself, and your limitless-ness. For one to assume “life” is other than that of human & memory, is to assume there would be a physical reality remaining upon one’s ‘death’.Seeing through memory, one is imortal, invincible, unstoppable in awareness of the falsity of immovable objects. Depicted perfectly imo, in the seen in the matrix in which new see’s the hallway walls for the matrix they always were, “defending himself” slowly, casually, enjoyable, with one arm (and that is saying too much, as you yourself created the word & meaning of meditation, due to the fact there is no “middle”) Imo, this is a fantastic conveyance of the feeling of Memory-less-ness. There’s a certain not-giving-a-fuck-ness vibe in that keyboard patch & riff in regard to the inevitability of departure from the fact others will continue to believe you are their memories of you. Life indeed can always “start up new”. In truth it can do nothing to the exception, believe in memories as we might, in our own suffering & peril. Memory is the exact same as the light deemed “perception”, which is not “in front of you” ...”now”. In short, notice you’re aware of those memories. Thus they are of you, and a second order of your purity, the tongue which can never be tasted. You’re creating them via vibrational proximity of now. Thoughts attract, the mind is fooled by a distinction between a “thought” and a “memory”. Notice, you are the creator of any and all distinction. You’re in control, even when you believe you are not, you’re the one believing you are not, a controlling of the narrative of “control”. Trust in and inspect, the discord. It never lies. The mind is a prophetic liar. Hence “ox”, rather than “mouse”, or “bunny”. It takes time, until time is as transparent as the memories of it. The link is that there is already, not-two. There’s a whole album about where “you’re at” (imo). “Can you feel pain inside? Can you love? Can you cry? I wanna run through your wicked garden, heard that's the place to find you. But I'm alive, o alive now, out of the dark that blinds you”. If you dig that, be sure to contemplate “sex type thing”, a mind bending play on advocacy of rape, in an courageous effort to untwist our paradox and see through it, to heal from our place of non-denial of self, in understanding, compassion for all others without exception.

Great thread. There’s meta-sneakery, if you will, too. “This or that” is also a profound sneakiness. Using the very duality one is creating of oneself, to thwart one’s self & experience of life. Such as one discovering a new desire within for a change in life accordingly, but fooling one’s self into believing there is an ‘either or’ situation, rather then acknowledging the obvious answer is both. Recognizing the perfection in the blend of contrast & apparent opposition, calling upon one’s very source of unconditional. Realizing there is no better experience to be had than that of burning the midnight oil in thriving, in passion, even occasionally passing out, in the unabashed alignment of one’s desire, one’s own calling. Meta instinct literally comes to life. Also, meta-manipulation. Maintaining a facade of unconditionality to serve the conditions one is still believing one is holding. Possibly the nastiest karma there is to be experienced, synonymous with the manifestation of ‘smell’ in it’s absolute directness in suffering. You might say when it walks into a room, even then ‘unconscious asleep’ know there is a smell of significant discord, wether understood or not. Such might even be why prayer was invented, and how “exorcism” was coined and believed to this day. Then there’s sneakery of one using one’s idea of the collective conscious. Then there’s infinite sneakery.

In-deed. ♥️ This, no?

Yes indeed. Words & thoughts appear via duality, twoness, opposites. The smoke & mirrors of it, if you will. ‘You’ got it. Integration can be a subtle perpetuating of conditioning that you’re the person rather than the entirety of the experience. (And even that is saying to much) Even the word transcend can be used in sneakery if misunderstood to be a ‘forward movement’, or a relative ‘attaining’, rather than a letting go of conditions. Truth is so good, we just let conditions & limiting beliefs go, and truth naturally is and is more & more realized, felt, ‘lived’, by & in & of itself. There’s no actual duality of doing & being, only an implication via the thought. The light on the wall is entirely free and spontaneous, and is not separate of the flashlight. “Control” can be “used” as a duality too, but is just words, like you said, lol. This is a tricky one. It’s sneaky because we think there is fear, we believe that it exists. We create the idea of it quite innocently, in forgetting our true nature, to “make sense of things”. Then we believe fear, is a feeling. Fear is thought in discord with truth, not a feeling. There is one source of feeling, not-two. There is one source existing, not-two. The key is to consider that fear is no secondary thing at all even, and it did not & can not “grip you”. What you experienced is the conditions you created, that you’ve been holding, that you were still holding in that experience. If you were to travel to the sun with conditions, and the sun was unconditional, the closer in proximity you got to the sun, the more you’d be aware of the conditions. If you assign those conditions, how they feel to be more precise, to the sun, or to theory, or to anything other than the realization of you’re own holding of the conditions you created, they’ll not burn away. It is we which “grips” it. The sun is not terrifying, it is innocent & pure, realizing, accepting & understanding one has obstructed one’s own light, is just hard to see and acknowledge at first. It’s a complete inversion of experience. You’re doing incredibly well, no rush. One of the greatest things about love, is that it doesn’t ‘work’ like everything in experience. The more you give away, the more is experienced. Such is the relationship of desire and love. “Things”, experiences, visions, dreams, hopes...these are permission slips, trivialities, just so that we may experience the reality of the sun, just to revel in it’s shine. This is simply to be yourself. “And every now and then if I focus I can still feel my body dissipate like smoke if I focus hard.” Likewise, there’s a great insight to be mined there. Focus is not of the physical, it’s not a doing. “You” is inseparable of what focus is. Sometimes it seems all the world suffers in a misunderstanding of this. Trying to get the brain to do in a harsh manor, what only the alignment of thought & feeling can & is already naturally doing. Maybe we don’t need more therapy, more pills, more strategies, just less conditions, more acceptance of the perfection in variety.

@playdoh It’s not something you think, it’s the letting go of conditions and the filling up with feeling.

Thanks! Love you. ??♥️

Feelin the love. Much appreciated. Getting awkward.

@Nevillizer With love man, ‘problem solving doses’ reveal it’s all you and that is why it’s all Good. ? You know. You remember. ♥️ We forget, and start believing there’s a “problem to solve”.

Yes!

@VeganAwake When folks awaken they realize everyone is them, so to speak, as they realized who they really are. If one checks with teachers to validate authenticity of their own awakening, it’s absolutely safe to say, ”that ain’t it”. Don’t stop short man, it’s unbelievably worthwhile!

♥️ Really great to hear! To your question, I would say when the benefit is being felt & realized, and you’re naturally inclined to continue it. Also, when it is seen that it is serving your aspirations and dream for your life.

Yes! They can be entertaining, and they can keep you dialed into and aware of the delightful synchronicities of living. No. The potential issues would be more like addiction, excessive attachment, or using sex to avoid responsibilities, or more relative to your post, avoiding your path / self discovering. Notice how it feels, when you think about these things. That’s the key. If you’re judging yourself, it doesn’t feel good. Enjoy all that life has to offer - again, notice how thoughts feel. Attachment transpires mentally. Desire, wanting, preference, creating, are typically no problem. The belief you need something to be happy, happier, or to be a better person, that is a form of suffering. Live! Have fun! That’s why ‘you came here’! ♥️

@Meta-Man Your gif’s have been killin me! ? You got the gift! But that one literally had me hunching over laughin. ??

“A burning desire for TRUTH is essential to success in this. Don't let people confuse you with talk of how "desire is bad", "seeking is delusion". No! Seeking is essential to breakthrough. Don't burn your ship before you've crossed the ocean! That would be foolish.” https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/7360-leos-practical-guide-to-enlightenment/

Skepticism is scrutiny of information for accuracy, validity, & truth. Cynicism is judgement, and is in opposition to self investigation. It is abiding in and developing acuity in aversion to self discovery & counter productive. If one’s intention is self realization, assessment & critique of anther person is an inherent derailment of one’s own intention. It’s an unnecessary addition of complication & confusion which bears no fruit, making the path more difficult.

@fridjonk F’n spot on. ?❣️

@Victor Mgazi ??♥️
