The ego isn’t in thoughts it’s the universe. And it isn’t.

@aklacor727 ??

@Maximo Casas You got thoughts, perception and sensation. That’s it. You’re weaving a second entity of them, on the backs of other separate entities.

Yes, relative, the movie.

‘Goals’ are thoughts. Useful in creating your own reality when properly aligned with feeling & source. Want for the feeling, the aliveness, the ride, the journey, the adventure of creation - not to attain, not to feel better when. Love is always Now. No thing is better than love. No thing is outside of Now. Maybe forget “goals” and it’s potential pitfalls of connotation, and just write everything you want on a dream board, and enjoy the non resistant ride of it coming. This is a miracle. “Goal” is a thought. This manifests - becomes what you are wanting. This has always been the case. Enlightenment reveals there are no ‘problems’, as all is you. However, by simply taking your “problem”, and writing it’s opposite on your board, you begin to see for yourself that a “problem” is just a label placed on the coming of the very things & experiences you are already wanting. All thinking is relative and therefore not to be believed or identified with. Thoughts are themselves absolute. There is only absolute. It’s like building something out of Legos designed to help you find Legos. You are made out of happiness already, it can never be found, you’re free to build whatever you want out of your Lego self.

@Meraki The inner child has been kicked around quite a bit for so long, the Truth within has become unrecognizable. You are so much more than appearances have led you to believe. Some understanding of why people project To actually defend, and how to know your true self and not get sucked into other people’s’ stories when they express their ignorance would go along way. In kind, seeing the falsity in these narratives liberates you of them. Appearance is entirely relative. Overthinking & under feeling - ignoring the voice of the inner child - won’t feel good. This can most definitely be turned around. It’s never going to settle, if identifying as the body continues being reinforced with thoughts. It’s always in change, while the eternal & perfect self (you) never changes. When there is emotional pain, unbeknownst to us, awareness is imbalanced, disproportionately shifted away from feeling almost entirely, to perception and thinking. Overthinking distorts what is perceived to compensate for the lack of feeling. You meant to have lots of amazing feelings, and the good news this is within you to be tapped into. Many false narratives can be let go. Thought overcompensates for the lack of feeling, and weaves stories about who you are to make sense of it. But of course, this never works, never “makes sense”, as sense is sensation, feeling, and more feeling is what was needed from the get go. More love. So it’s not your fault! It’s created in total innocence. And you can reconnect with a proper understanding of thought, sensation, and the source within you. Creating emotions based on the experiences of the outside world and identification with the body will never feel great. It is imprisoning. You can come to understand this, and feel amazing unconditionally. This clarity is the light, and it is accessible equally for everyone of us. What we all too often label as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, “something‘s wrong with me”, etc... is a complete misunderstanding of ourselves, and the functionality of thoughts with feelings. This results in the absolute unconditional love that we truly are being entirely misunderstood and shuttered up. The inner being is not going along with terrible self referential thoughts - because they’re not true! You’re so unthinkably awesome that it feels terrible when you believe these negative things about yourself. The absolute love you are + tons of thoughts to the contrary = chronic suffering...because you’re awesome, not because anything is “wrong with you”. How you look is relative...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This suffering is indicative of overthinking, trying to make sense with thinking, of what can only feel better in feeling. Sometimes we learn a really deep environmental / micro cultural defense of judgment. This can be understood and let go. The belief in need & judgment is the foundation of this suffering. When there has been such chronic unwanted feelings in the body for so long, it feels at if it must be justified & validated, which perpetuates the suffering. It can be very tricky. You can become free of this suffering. You can understand the past and transcend it with presence of now, and enjoy the amazing future it’s naturally leading to. Alignment of thought, feeling, & source will change everything. If you want to talk anytime, just let me know.

@LfcCharlie4 Omg yes. ?? The truth in that is clearer with every passing day!

@Rasheed This one might be taken in a new clearer light. ??

Path progression / understanding wise...infinity + ‘understanding’ superposition = everything is nothing, as nothing is everything, comes to mind.

@Raptorsin7 Not really sure what you mean.

@Highest An image comes to mind of ‘where you’re comin from’, as an ascension which once transcended, what is attained is effortless permanent residence in the highest possible state. That accurate of how you size this path up?

@Maximo Casas That’s the best thing anyone can be. Put all your attention into perception; seeing, hearing, feeling the body. Feel the breath, the air on your skin. Let your eyes relax taking in sight as a whole. Listen in to the sound bed of silence underlying all of sound, feel into the sound bed, feel into the hearing, and feel into the seeing. Attuned in perception, there’s little thinking, and everything makes sense.

@Bill W Meh. You’re exactly where you should be. Luv ya. ??

What is non-duality without that belief about it?

@Bill W Your understanding is that non-duality is an idea a person came up with? That it does not point to the actual Truth?

What beliefs and ideas are you talking about?

@Nak Khid If there’s you, and anything else, what’s the word Nonduality mean?

@Bill W Self actualization is the point Bill. You’re on a Self actualization forum right now. It’s about discovering the Self. Not reinforcing an idea of you, and an idea of God, but the actuality of Self. Does that make sense, logically?

@moon777light I agree with 1g. You can always increase next trip. Always better to go slow. For future reference, never do 3g’s. Always more or less. I’ve found this calculator to be accurate. Play around with it. Reading their descriptions (when you change the amounts in the calculator) is very beneficial, so you know what’s coming and aren’t freaking out about it. Arguably, the best possible preparation, is the simple practice of consciously breathing from your stomach, and letting thoughts go. If the shit starts hitting the tripping fan, just relax your body, and consciously breath from your stomach. Just like when you’re at the movies, and the tense seen comes. Just relax, and breath. From now until the trip - imo, the most ideal scenario, is simply you loving yourself, doing things you like, feeling good. Abraham Hicks on YouTube is a great resource of positive perspective, and love. If possible, outdoors is best. Nature’s beauty. ♥️ Above all - EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY FINE. YOU, ARE, TOTALLY, FINE. RELAX. And if you feel you need a nice, comforting, happy thought...we’re all there with you, loving you, wanting the best for you.

@Highest ♥️?

It’s always safe to surrender. This is like saying, without resistance, fear, self doubt, worry, anxiety or depression - how would I make it in the world? By living the life you actually want to. By making as much money as you want. Doing what you really want to be doing. This (you) created the appearance of a universe, within yourself, to create within, in togetherness. You’ve never moved. You are “in” your creation, you are not of your creation. All appearance is deceiving, until all appearance is known as Self. Not even “in”, rather, appearing as if. You can’t wrap your mind around it, because you don’t have a mind...you are Mind. You are the infinite mind, appearing as Rasheed, claiming a separate self, with a second, separate, mind. There’s no identity to transcend, there is nothing to become. You created, imagined, all of this. The entire universe. Just continue as you were. You’ve always been creating your own reality. Create the life of your dream, consciously. If you want to.

Inspect the validity of your own thoughts...it’s not perception taking you for a ride. For example, why ‘have a disagreement’ at all ? When you’ve seen through your own sneakery, you’ve seen through everyone’s, and there is little surprise left to throw you ‘off center’, there is no ‘self’ to constantly protect and defend, such as with disagreements. ‘Trying to be grounded’ might just really = not feeling (creating the resistance). Handing the power over to everyone - “I hope you don’t throw me off my ‘grounded ness’.” Trying to be an object, when you’re the emptiness the scene ‘transpires in’, will never ‘click’.

@Jahmaine Right. It’s entirely eye of the beholder. (You’re the beholder)

No, you aren’t in states, awareness of the states, yes. The beauty, the moment, the ugly, the dark, you’re Awareness of by default, already transcendent of states. Awareness of the arising thought of states. Aware of the perception. ‘Mundane situations’ is a single thought yet a paper thin veil of duality. “The better moment will be in the future”. The self recognition, what is extraordinary, ‘magical’, can’t come in a ’future moment’. It’s now, or it isn’t at all. This moment is being, and has convinced itself it is a spiral wizard in a reality with time, space, and a future. The recognition of infinite being is only possible now, as time is illusory. What’s time without a watch, a clock, etc? Just change. Everything is changing. Not awareness, not what is aware of change. Time is also a single thought yet a paper thin veil of duality. Love, is the root of all emotion, and gravity is already your centerless center. Go literally anywhere you like, you are always here, and you are always the center of the universe. Awareness appears to change, and does not change. Appears to, as in, this isn’t a screen or language or anything at all. Appearances can be really tricky. When what you’re writing on a board appears as reality, the aliveness, or exuberance is obvious & abundant. Of course you could also stare at a rock for a few hours.

@Maximo Casas Each one is The One. There are no separate selves. The guru has no use for the model because there’s no guru believing the guru is a guru. It’s entirely a projection on the part of the seeker. Which, there isn’t. “The seeker” too, is The One. @skywords I like the word ‘communion’ for that. The One is absolutely non communal.
