Seeking can begin & end, what is found cannot.

@mandyjw It is pretty Gnarly. I re-member when, I re-member, I re-member— when I lost “my” mind There was something so pleasant about that place. Even ”your” emotions have an echo In so much ”space” And when you're out there Without care, Yeah, I was out of touch But it wasn't because I didn't know enough I just knew too much Favorite version. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sXLhh6p5hjo God bless Corey Heuvel. Such a beautiful soul.

I hear ya. It’s like how a present is just, better, when it’s wrapped. It’s fun to unwrap, but then, we keep the present, and pitch the wrapping paper. Imagine giving someone a gift so good, they just forget about the wrapping paper. Forget the past, you are the gift. You are here now. Ok...admittedly ‘ball busting here’....but no. Don’t go the ‘wisdom route’. I get what you mean, but it’s not “wisdom” - it’s feeling. Even to label with “wisdom” has already created that foundation of something which could should or must be “caught”. It’s sneaky, I know. Imo, the world will soon awaken to two things; death was always a a belief, and wisdom is the same. As a reference, wisdom, sure. But as ‘that which you don’t have & must acquire’, I’m calling bullshit. Love & wisdom are identical, and you are made of this. I would suggest thought has not become a substitute for experience, but for feeling. That’ll change the understanding of the angry friend scenario. It’s not about having or not having the evidence that he is or is not angry at you....it’s about recognizing it is your thought which does or doesn’t feel good to you. Then, there can be the understanding that he is “in the same exact boat”. His anger, is his discord between his thought, and his feeling. In any case, the experience is actual. In any case, you are the magic. Only magic can pick a more aligned thought. Do so, and reality responds in kind...and your friend’s gonna think you’ve got some ‘magic wisdom’. There is no wisdom ‘here’. Only the reversal of the relationship between thought & feeling. In feeling, I am you, you are me, we are One. In feeling we are edgeless, immeasurable, infinite. Thoughts, preferences, alignment and or discord...that’s infinitely unique...and downright breath-takingly beautiful. That, is creation. Your presence, is wisdom. Your presence, is love. You are Being. I know. It can be easy though. Purification is effortless. It is the fundamental reality, that all your concerns and tensions be carried aware by an unseen and all-loving ‘energy’. “Give it to God”. Let go. Trying to get the past back is suffrage. This is feeling saying, here, now, that is enough, that is the magic. The trip revealed now. The trip did not say “hey look at how if you can focus a whole bunch on the past you can feel great! Don’t notice those trees now don’t notice those kids playing carefree now”. Thinking you should know more than you do, be somewhere you’re not, feel some way you don’t - that is suffering, and it is only found in thought. The body is reality, and purification is always the Gift and the order of the day. A single tear will change the world.

Because there is no separation. ‘Connected’ is already the case, already the truth. ♥️ Even if there’s a belief to the contrary...even then, the belief would be felt, and as such, let go of.

No body is in this reality, already. Living & death is a dualistic thought, and that is all that it is. It is not found in perception nor feeling. Quite the opposite in fact. What a sense of humor you must have, given your phenomenal hijacking of yourself, with the dogmas of heaven & hell.

“My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb, and all I remember is thinking, ‘I want to be like them’. Ever since I was little - ever since I was little, it looked like fun...and it's no coincidence I've come - and I can die when I'm done!” Maybe I'm crazy Maybe you're crazy Maybe we're crazy Probably

Thought you might like this...regarding self inquiry / inspection work.

@billiesimon Very understandable. Decontextualize the entire landscape: ”Self inquiry and confusion - is this progress?” Scrap “progress”, and bring “realization” onboard. No one is “progressing”, there is nothing to “progress” towards. You are already complete, whole, and perfect. When the “aim” is changed to realizing this...this is the same as saying....realizing what is already the case, what is already actual. The love known on the trip is still present, identical to and synonymous with “now”... ever-present, eternal. Love does not come, love does not go. Thoughts - come & go. Simply notice, via relaxing, ‘allowing’, observing, seeing what is already the case. Scrap “confusion” and bring “seeing what is already the case” onboard. There is no longer the potential for “confusion”, as that is recognized to be a thought. The feeling of confusion, so to speak, is saying “let the thought go!”. What is “it”? (It is a ‘write off). There’s no “It”. “Self inquiry” is not an “it”. “Self inquiry” is a thought. Let the thought, go. Concepts arise, of you. Let them go. Sneaky thoughts arise, of you. Let them go. ‘They’ arise of you, like the drops of water at the very top of a sprinkler arise of the sprinkler. “The ride” to the bottom, is simply in letting the focus of “the top” (thoughts)....go. You might consider self inquiry to be exactly like: ”Don’t think of a pink elephant” <— that thought won’t “cut it”. It’s not actually helpful, because it is still focusing on “a pink elephant”....it is just sneakery...or, focusing on the absence of a thing, which focus wise - is still focusing on the same ‘thing’.

@mandyjw “ohh ohh oooohhhh!”

@billiesimon Feeling is feeling, not any who. If you boldface any I’s, me’s, my’s, I’ve’s, Leo’s, character’s’, myself’s...in your op...it can be insightful and revealing of the very thought activity which is veiling feeling with a bunch of ’who thoughts’. The thoughts don’t hear a Horton - Horton hears “the who’s”...or...awareness is aware...thought - is not aware. I’s, me’s, my’s, I’ve’s, Leo’s, character’s’, myself’s <—— those are thoughts feeling is aware of, those thoughts are not aware.

@Exystem Check out Abraham Hicks.

You might be becoming more aware of how much overthinking goes on, and that the nature of it isn’t exactly pleasant. If so, the name of the game would be relaxing, breathing, and allowing - not getting sucked up into thought and or thought stories. Like that old story about the two black and white wolves fighting in each of us, and the one that lives, will be the one we feed. (Self-love)

@Rodrigo SIlva It relative, they can be both. Journaling might be good. Any chance getting what you want in life in front of you might unclog some things? Some self doubts etc?

I’d just keep it to....if a thought right now doesn’t feel good, let it go and relax. Do stuff that feels good. Get back to basics with diet & daily meditation. Let the body relax and release as needed. Don’t ruminate and think. Relax, and let go.

@billiesimon Yes & no. There’s a difference between not conceptualizing, and feeling for the “answer”. Also, how quiet the mind is from meditation or yoga can have a lot to do with how self inquiry goes.

The “answer” of self inquiry is feeling. So if there’s a contextual question, (a ‘perception question’ and or ‘feeling question’ is only contextual / conceptual) let it go. Letting it go is the key. The “work”. The fear is not of feeling, it is of thought. Let it go.

@StripedGiraffe Indeed. Thanks for sharing.

That ...(imo) is far better to inspect non-trip, than in a trip (going back to your op). The trip will ‘say’ there’s no you, no here, and you are not experiencing stuff...that feeling / here is not inside the body. That’s what “could be lost”, that’s the “fear”. You can ‘peel it off’ with a psychedelics, but that’s like taking a band aid off with a bulldozer. This is generally indicative (no offense) of a local culture of psych’s being “the work”, whereas imo they are “the reward”, the pleasure cruise through infinity, for having done the work.

Totally agree. ...and...“Surely” might have different connotations....might, might not, ultimately, be neutral.

@Prevailer “Glassy sea” is a ‘write off’, an a priori belief. A definition is also a thought, and not perception. “It” is also a ‘write off’, as is “equal measure” (hence the undefinability of ‘science’). The Prevailer is not anything it thinks it is.

Nothing is pure of devilry, it is synonymous with dilution and delusion.

@Prevailer “Atom” is like “cup” in that the actuality is a thought rather than perception. Thus, so too is positive, negative and neutral. Belief is a glass ceiling.
