Do not underestimate what you can plan today, nor the peace in doing so. Do not underestimate what you can achieve in a year, in five years, in ten years, nor the passion in doing so. Do not underestimate what can be created in a lifetime, nor the amazement in doing so. Do not underestimate what can be created together, over lifetimes, nor the love in doing so. Do notice all that you create, manifests & transpires, in this very same, inexplicably, magical, now. Dream, imagine, feel. & Do not underestimate now.

The best day, by far, is today. Today, happiness is. Today, experience is. Today is for loving. Today is the most miraculous day, it is the day which implies there are other days.

Reality is not consistent, it appears to be. Now is not a product of a past, nor an indication of a future - now appears to be. Stop and look acutely at what appears to be, it can never be located. You can not know where it is, and where it is going. Choose where it is going, and it does.

@TheAvatarState For sure. Been noticing sitting with a pad of paper, and a little distraction, same thing happens like w the insights but w questions.

@TheAvatarState Great post. You ever have that experience where you do some daily practices, address the day’s responsibilities, etc, all the while with the awakening perspective open, connecting some dots here & there, pondering things,...and then you lay down at night to go to sleep, watching a video or whatever....and boom - an insight, or something you’re wondering below the surface pops up? Almost feels like wtf, where was that all day?

Use a pad & paper, and write “what exactly is this existential fear?” And just write anything at all that comes to mind. Really, just anything at all. Even anything that doesn’t seem like it has anything at all to do with the exercise, just write that down too. Whatever comes up. Let your mind basically relax, free-spew whatever and begin to untangle itself. As you see what’s on the paper, you sort of are assessing it’s validity automatically, subtly, so make sure you’re really relaxing over & over head to toe, and breathing nice and deep. There’s nothing to fear, your head just needs to have a look at what’s going on, so to speak. To see for itself. No rush. If it takes a month, great. The point is, just a simple start, five minutes & put it down for the day - it’s a game changer. It’s the beginning of gettin in the driver’s seat. Sometimes the tiniest things make the biggest difference. With the self inquiry, also try the opposite. Purposely think “ I “... and add your personal preferences after it, whatever stuff it is you like. I.. like this. I...like that. I...feel tired. I....feel excited. I....wanna get something to drink. I....am looking forward to this thing this weekend. I....am not looking forward to this other thing next. etc etc. I think it’ll draw out how I is the beginning of thoughts so often, it just seems so normal we miss it. Then when you self inquire next, let the I thought go, and let all those thoughts which follow the I thought go with it. Notice how nice it feels to just put that “ I “ category down for a few minutes.

@Angelite I studied the Quran (been a minute), there’s wisdom there no doubt. This passage seems to be coming from a misunderstanding of suffering & the Truth. I’d consider the parent child relationship as an analogy / example. One can threaten kids to believe and comply, and even use Allah and words like disdain, grievous, penalty, to get that job done. Another route is assisting kids to develop open minds, not believing, but learning to think for themselves, pointing & helping them to discover Allah for themselves. What does the future of the nations of those two examples look like, when those kids grow up, in your opinion? What is the implication, of power, in terms of honesty? What effect might each scenario have on someone?

For. Sure. Exploration-nauts! ??? @tsuki ?♥️??

Not to be cheesy but the moon is integral to gravity, a “localized” orbiting pointer. (“heavenly body”.) Yes, ‘hides complexity’, but more specifically what is within one’s own axioms & actions, but unrealized to be there. Like a cover up, of the cover up. For some “my”, “self”, “this”, “it”, “always”, “never”, are write offs, which I think you already understand. For others, triggers you, misguided assumptions, grace, denial of hierarchy, meaning, emotionally loaded for you, you perceive it as, etc. Unless one actually knows that another is thinking, and what another is thinking, these are write offs, cover ups of cover ups of what one is thinking. (I don’t mean that sarcastically, it is possible to know if and what someone is thinking.) If interested, use the yin, yang, circle, and dots like Byron Katie does with duality, self & beliefs, but with gravity. It’s a great way to reveal write offs imo. She’s absolutely deep in no mind, and imo has mastered sensation / wisdom / simplicity, which is an ideal approach to gravity. Also, in Katietown, thoughts indeed do arise, yet there is gravity. ? I didn’t say gravity was nonsense. If you know words are symbols, and know compassion, why create accusation in leu of understanding? Is that not nonsensical? If gravity is the question, there is an answer. A question arises in answer, inseparable. There Is however, at least one question which does not have an answer. I definitely did not say anyone was lazy. Questioning and inspecting are the humbling opposite imo. @mandyjw ? ?

Maybe they didn’t feel it. I think if you regroup, zoom out, all of this is going to start synchronistically coming together right before your very eyes. Imo, it already is, but just isn’t seen yet, because you’re too zoomed in. Hourly / annual income is often a great means of actualizing your dream. You are not a slave. Dreams need dream seed money sometimes. Hold up on throwing in towels like that. Everything you’re learning is culminating into realizing your dream. It always has been. Zooming out is needed. Imo, you are utilizing the term “purpose” as a means to create guilt & shame. As in, ‘what I’m supposed to be doing, but can’t because I’m a wage save’. The term ‘life dream’ might help you ‘take the power back’ so to speak, or, recapture the ownership of your destiny. “Purpose” will naturally come around again later, in a natural reinterpretation, from a different vantage point. “Wage slavery” is a concept which you give meaning to. By attending to the concept, at the expense of your sensation, you are creating the concept of oppression, and the emotion of oppressed. Throw out the terminology which is not working for you, and adopt new ones. Breath life into the new ones, make them yours. YouTube “As A Man Thinketh” (James Allen), and read Think & Grow Rich N. Hill, and Ask & It Is Given E. Hicks. You are the creator of you, and your world. How you see, is more important than what you see. Get a very large dry erase board, or better yet, paint an entire wall with chalk paint. At the far right side, write what your life dream is. Not just income oriented, but what you most what your life to be, what you want to have, what you want to experience. The biggest dream you can must. “Empty both barrels” into it, all of you. Then start working backwards, from right to left, and write what comes to mind in terms of everything that would be needed to get there - be sure to write from right to left, rather than jumping around. Whatever doesn’t come to you - let it go. Drop the whole dream boarding, and do things you like, that are fun, and feel good to you. Pump some music, shoot some hoops, whatever your thing is, just let it all go and get lost in some good old fashioned kiddish fun. Then, when your feeling is lifted, elevated, return to the dream board and write anything, any steps, which arises from that good feeling. Be sure to get this, even if logically - If you wake up next Tuesday with a flu and fever, you are not going into work for a day or two. Everything you think you have to get done, will not get done, and life will go on. Notice, how you feel is primary, it comes first. Try to notice, or consider - this is always what’s going on. How you feel is always first already. Don’t force life to scream this at you. Listen while it’s whispering. Dream board bruh.

@TrynaBeTurquoise It’s just a cumulative thing. I read the religious books a lot when I was younger, kind of a full circle. Btw, the four noble truths and the eight fold path are often easily overlooked in their simplicity, but in application realized not to be simple at all, and eventually reveal themselves to be the very means of ‘access’ to the more meta understanding of them. Buddha communicated in a divine near-perfect style unison of actuality and parable, much like Jesus spoke in absolute / nondual parables. "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."

@OmniYoga Radical open mindedness is essential.

Imaginary and mind are write offs. (?) Imo, this is Self inquiry. All is consciousness, and yet there is self realization consciousness, collective consciousness, cosmic consciousness...

@AlphaAbundance “I can’t get there” is not a feeling. It is content of thought, overlaying sensation, and can be let go. Inspect why you feel impatient. Why, in self inquiry, how really, could there be somewhere to get to? Who’d be getting ‘there’? An I ? Doubtful. That’s just a thought you’re aware of. A first class thought, but a thought none the less. The world appears in the outward perception of mind, and there is no self. The self appears in the inward perception of mind, and there is no world.

Well....If the question is, is gravity imaginary, then the answer is no. It can certainly be known, what gravity is. My best guess in terms of what’s helpful for that kind of mind opening would be quantum mechanics, Abraham Hicks, Rupert Spira (specifically the books breaking down the actuality of thought, sensation, and perception.) Gravity is (imo) probably one of the hardest realizations to grasp. Broken record, but, daily meditation and psychedelics sure don’t hurt.

@TrynaBeTurquoise Those who kill the body (thought, duality, relativity, materialism) but not the soul (absolute, eternal) are enlightened, there is no fear in love. The one who can destroy both the soul and body in hell, is a reference to a sleeper who has yet to seek refuge, take caution. Also, it is written to the reader directly, not about others. The sparrows in your father’s care is a reference not to assume or project human suffering onto an inner world of animals in ignorance. The hairs of your head are numbered deepens this message, as in, all is cared for in God, worry not, he made a perfect world. Then one nondual layer deeper...don’t be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows. (The rope is not a snake, and you are not a human) It’s not a statement of worth, “two sparrows” is a pointer of duality / relativity / twoness. “One penny” is a pointer to nonduality. I would not take it metaphorically, I would take it as a pointer to the truth of self & world. Nobody knows if there was a person Jesus, or if he was enlightened. In the same sense, no one knows if there is a TrynaBeTurquoise. The message, the realization matters, not any personifications or statures. Imo, it’d be ideal to save Jesus’s teachings for last. It’s very ‘hidden in plain sight’ ‘nothing is hidden from you’ ish. The Dharma, Ramana Maharshi’s teachings, and quantum mechanics might be ideal preceding teachings to grasp the Gospels. Everybody’s different though, so who knows.

@Barna You can not forget on purpose, nor make the world perfect, so there are questions.

No.

@Dan502 Do you want to be working there? If not, have you made a dream board, expressing what you do want? Doing this, can turn a grind into a means to what you want, naturally evoking appreciation, gratitude and a feeling of synergy with life. Also, anything noteworthy transpire under the age of ten? Anything come to mind which might have made reality seem unreliable, undependable?

Negative thought means a does-not-feel-good-thought. Listen to the sensations, let the thought go. Stubbornly sticking with the thought, and suppressing the sensations, is what the ego is. Often referred to as delusion, because it is a delusional thing to do to one’s self what does not feel good to one’s self. It’s more simple than what you are thinking, and has nothing to do with enlightenment. That’s a write off you created to make sense of living out of alignment with sensation. ? Choose a better feeling thought, more aligned with sensations (better feeling). Do this all the time, pay that dear dear price of feeling good...momentum builds, reality responds, synchronicity ensues. Notice, you do not stick your fingers in electrical sockets....just bring that same simple wisdom to your inner game.

@Avi Tal The being level? Sit and listen to your sensations (Inner being).

@Avi Tal What is initially just 'powering through' in spite of one's sensations becomes discord with sensations. Chronically, this becomes tension & stress. In continued ignore-ance of sensations, this becomes dis-ease, manifest. Still resisting, now this ignoring of one's own sensations becomes habit, and one forms beliefs about self, other, and the world, to make sense of one's own ignore-ance of one's own sensations. Beliefs about the nature of the self, the world, judgements, etc. It's not complicated, one must go to the sensations one ignored to begin with, they are still present. Love will purify us of the beliefs in falsity - one must allow this emotional purification, and not impose the same thought stories and beliefs, but rather, let them go. No one can let go for another. But one can exemplify and communicate, one can love & offer their understanding of self. Each one is the same pure consciousness, the same love. Overtime, one creates a gap, a dissonance, between their desires, and the thoughts they're choosing. One covers this by speaking covertly, in 'write offs - but often doesn't recognize they're doing so'. One begins to disparage and diminish one's self, because they do not understand they have always been the one making themself feel this way, by ignoring their own sensational guidance of their own creating. Whatever one put attention on, one gets more of. Dis-ease, leads to disease, though it's the same discord the whole time. More of it is being created, in focusing & choosing self diminishing thoughts, which are not at all true. What you do not want, you must take your attention from. One can not continue to think blue, and be surprised of the continuation of the creation and experience of - blue. Not thinking about a pink elephant, is still actually thinking about a pink elephant. Avoidance of a thing draws it nearer. Attention on shortage creates more reality of shortage. The pure consciousness that is you, awareness, consciousness - aware of thoughts, sensations, reality, others - can not be harmed, hurt, nor tarnished in any way. To repeat perspectives as if you could, from a place of defense and protection by ‘othering’, judging (be it self or other), etc, will never feel good, and only draws more of the same not-feeling-good. Healing = Love. Reconnecting with sensations is realigning with the source of you, true pure love. One's well being, and one's reality (the world) does change right along side, in accordance, right before our eyes. One must however, let go of "what is" - so that reality can bring, can in truth - become, what one is wanting, in alignment with the very fabric of the dream, Love. This is conscious creating. Perhaps a good read..."Dying To Be Me" by Anita Moorjani Maybe a timely movie...Billy Elliot, or What Dreams May Come.

@zeroISinfinity Right on. The key dons the veil. So basically, we’re all each other’s donkeys.
