Every thought is an added layer. Layers implying twoness in a variety of ways. If you’re aim is nonduality, then weed out any and all twoness thought patterns, by scrutinizing them at more intense, and yet more subtle and loving, levels. If one has a soul, there are two. The one, and the would which it has. There was said to be electricity & magnetism, then electromagnetism. There was said to be space & time, then spacetime. Human thought makes twoness. Awareness of thought, scrutiny, and all is reducible. “I realize nonduality means all is one”...write different perspectives of this on your board, work it out, reduce it. What is that if there’s no I...if there’s no meaning...if there’s no nonduality...if there’s no all...if there’s no saying of this...if there’s no recipient...? Direct experience...you have it. Question it. Derive your answers from it. ?? You know thoughts about reincarnation. What else about it is in your direct experience, right now, here and now in this moment, not in a thought?

@pluto ♥️

@herghly Yes! ?? It’s a great start! And... a dream board, dry erase board, is ideal asap. Not only because you can easily add to it, but also the fluidity of modifying as you see the pieces all coming together. It’s also very useful for working thoughts out, like noticing the separate self in thinking, self referential thoughts, etc. Ultimately, like all things, you’re creating it and it’s up to you. Imo, it’s tough to beat holon “in the middle of the room”.

You’re aware of changing states, yes? You can not therefore, be the states. You’re what’s aware. Awareness.

@Matt23 Relax & gently scrutinize the thoughts. The “separate self” is only sustained in thoughts. Self referential thinking, and ‘outside force’ narratives. That’s all. Less thinking, more loving and relaxing, and guiding thought via feeling. Who says this about who, are you not simply you? It is the thinking & believing of such things to be let go. There’s not a thing “wrong” with you, sans the thoughts there is.

Unconditional love isn’t really understandable. That’d be a subtle condition. Everybody touches the stove, not everybody is so responsive & sensitive to being. Take care not to dwell in this, just get the message, and feel the better for it. Let the thoughts about the perception go, and notice, in a sense there’s an absolute at play. That’s why it felt relatively terrible to create that experience, to choose It. Notice there’s no condition forcing you to choose that. How’s such radical freedom treatin ya? That absolute unconditional love within you is absolute indeed. It will never, ever bend to conditions. It’s ever-allowing you. It will never impose a condition, and will never meet ’you’ when you do, even if you beg & plead. ‘You’ listen to it. ’You’ align with it. Choose more wisely from the knowing of such discord, make use of this direct experience. It tells you who you are. Feel the answer to the degree you can. Make sense of it. It’s all ‘on time’, reality’s all fine as it is, intervene whenever you like, as you like. We used to have guillotine shows in the courtyard you know. There’s an infinite predicament & a love story playing out. It’s getting better all the time, from the love of you. If you could snap your fingers and have the world in accordance with your “perfect”, you’d regret it in two minutes. For experience, there’s space, time, fields, particles, etc, and here we are. Consider the actual possibility that you are what’s behind all that, and that you can fully realize this. Repurpose your intellect, cleverness, and sneakery in the name of love & truth, and you will know it more & more deeply. Get on purpose, be unflagging about it - you’re already creating. Don’t just be another John Doe.

@Matt23 I hear ya. I still vote have sex.

@Spiral Wizard A belief = a thought, arising right now. The thought arising now suggests it is about a past, trust, and belief. Without the story, you’re entirely, spontaneous, entirely, wholly, completely, magically, insanely, joyously, free. You are not the “self” in this story. You the real deal aware of a single arising thought, and it’s implication. Why’s it seem hard to simply - not believe the story about you? Because of the feelings “attached to it”. But the feelings are not attached, to anything, ever. The feeling, that “down on yourself” feeling...that’s what you should be listening to. The feeling is saying drop the story about you, “it’s not true!”. You’re unstoppable, you’re The Spiral Wizard for God’s sake. No one can stop you!

@Javfly33 What a great breakthrough / realization. Congrats?? Two cents....You could relabel “image”.....”thought”. That’s all it is. “How to not defend a thought?”, brings out the silliness. You can just let that thought go, and a better feeling one arises. “If I totally let go of a thought, I stop trying to defend a thought”. On #1, just take ownership, and it basically evaporates. “ I had this belief (a thought) that certain...”. Girls want to be happy just being themselves too, without adding nervousness, anxiety, etc. We have guidance of inner being, of feeling. It always cuts through the thinking. ”Not sure if the feeling of anxiety, or grounded & confident is the way to go”. Also reveals the silly. You might find there to be an effortlessness here in attracting girls. If you want to probe a little deeper...what you’re questioning “hiding”...also, is just a thought...”weak”. Just a thought. Be on the look out for self referential thought, and let those go. They can’t be true about you, as you are always the awareness of the thought.

@Fede83 Freeeeeddoooommmmm! ??♥️

@Fede83 Yes, and take it a step closer to actuality. Rather than “my mind making up a story”, rather than give a “my mind” a notion of being a separate entity, having influence or power that isn’t actual...just notice the arising thoughts. “My mind”, is itself just a thought. If a thought doesn’t feel so good, just notice, and choose a better feeling one. Nothing needs to be ‘solved’ to do that, and you’ll build momentum in feeling. Notice, “karma”, is an arising thought. You can say, do, think, and feel, better, right now. “The last 20 years”, is an arising thought, arising in this ever-same now, like any other thought. There is feeling as our infinite being is unconditional love, duality for togetherness, and thought for expansion, to create. Have your cake and eat it too. That’s what ya ‘came here’ for. Be steadfast in this, via your dream board. Bringing the life you want into fruition brings forth passion, determination, inspiration, and excitement. As a lovely offset, this is in itself attracting, both the life and the woman/relationship. Consider, what is your preference...being with someone asleep in anxiety, depression, regret, etc - or co-creating a life together woke af? What are you attracting?

These arising thoughts are within my awareness. I am aware of the thoughts. One such arising thought...” I am...” What you are asking to hear, can not be said, you are awareness of the thought “ I “. You are awareness of the thought, “you are awareness of the thought”.

Right on.

@Now_Is_Home You’re lost in thought, not Oneness. Do some thing you enjoy. Listen to something upbeat. Spend some time in nature. Zoom out. ??

@Chives99 Beautiful

@remember Sure. But they don’t. I feel you’re underestimating unconsciousness. No body chooses anger. Feels terrible. Would you estimate that she knows her true being, prior to the thoughts, actions, behaviors, patterns (Duality)? Can a finite mind in paradigm lock flip a duality, perspective, without transcendence of it?

@remember They know not what they do.

@Buba She’s thinking it’s her childhood, it’s her anger, it’s her anxiety. Right now, in this present moment, those are just abstractions, “things” she’s making up. But of course, she doesn’t realize she’s creating it. The Cosmic Joke is, there’s no subject & object relationship. She doesn’t have to “face” anything, nor do we have a time machine in which she could. It’s a matter of becoming more consciousness, present, mindful...not ‘facing’ or ‘figuring’ or overthinking more. “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself”. I hear ya though. We each cause our own suffering, and nobody can let go for us. Godspeed my friend. You’re a good soul. Her too. If only she had an inclination how innocent she is.

Belief is dualistic, thought. Reality is One. “Hollow by thy name”, but reality is far from “hollow”.

@Average Investor You are beautiful my man ????

@LfcCharlie4 Yes, exactly. ♥️

@dorg Thanks. Hopefully it’s useful.
