  1. @AlwaysBeNice When I suggest the scrutiny of direct experience, am I speaking of a “future”? Are you speculating that I’m speculating, or are you absolutely certain I am indeed speculating? Be critical of direct experience, as well as critical of assumptions, projections, deflections, write offs such as “no one could know” (you don’t know), etc - notions of things you have not directly experienced, yet take as true and accurate. Such a non-sense reality is a house of cards, and crumbles quite easily in the light of willingness. When the “greatest masters” agree with you, it’s time to find the “greater guru”, one which makes no claims of “mastery” nor “teacher & teachings”. What do you assume “after” actually means? In your world of such causations, what is the first? What is the last? What have you believed “life” is? Have you ever once slept? Is there an objective reality? What was your direct experience of birth? On a scale of haven’t even actually started yet, to have realized the actuality of reality, where are you? Wake up. Get a dry erase board, and some questions. This is not a rehearsal.
  2. @AlwaysBeNice You, don’t. Don’t limit ‘your consciousness’ by missing what you have no direct experience of. The irony, is you could also know, solely from scrutinizing your direct experience right now.
  3. You’re already doing all of this. Consciousness is about realizing it, not becoming anything.
  4. Evaluating and trusting are thinking. Draw upon your being, rather than reducing yourself to guide points. Sensations don’t have meaning, that’s the beauty of it. How you feel is how you feel, wether you’re honest, clever, sneaky or whatever, how you feel is none the less, how you feel. To one’s degree of expression, willingness and self honesty, sensations transcend thought in intuition. Purification is ideal, regardless. Write about your sensations, separate the thought stories.
  5. @winterknight Godspeed Beautiful! & a sincere thank you sir.?? All timing divine, I give it three months.
  6. @Tom T No, not a great idea. Read up https://www.askmen.com/sex/sex_tips/how-to-finger-a-girl.html Nice.
  7. That is no small thing to be able to say. There was a time when you weren’t able to say that. You did that. You made that change, made it happen. You can make other things happen, you can make anything happen. Sometimes it’s good to have some help too. Sometimes just having someone around, someone who listens, someone genuine, can change everything. Different ‘stuff’ arises with such a person, in such a communion if you will. That’s a great fortune in imo. Also imo, you’re in luck, cause that’s all you need. I’m no fan of dogma, but wisdom is irresistible .... “Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you in heaven. For wherever two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.” Some times we just can’t see what is closest, and we can get ‘stuck’ for a long time. We’re not meant to bear such burdens for so long. Consider, to bear, is to hold weight, such as how the functionality of ball bearings, is essentially, weight-bearing. So consider no longer bearing it, but rather, beginning to bare it. Shedding it, via vulnerability, talking about it, sharing and discovering a new perspective, and a new feeling. You, your friend, and a dry erase board with “what do I really want?” on it - and the magic is indeed there. Don’t bear it man, bare it. You’re just too good to be down like this.
  8. @non_nothing I love you.
  9. You know, if you weren’t distracting yourself, you’d be focused on what you want. But when you begin to want, you feel uncomfortable sensations, fear, self doubt. So, you go to the distraction. But, if you inspected the sensations, wrote about them, begin to understand sensations - clarity arises, great feelings, relief, release. Don’t procrastinate. Inspect. Trying to ‘not do something’ is exactly the same as doing it. Try ‘not thinking’ of a blue pick up truck next to a red barn. See? Tat’s precisely what you are now thinking of. You must, you must, you must - choose to think about what you want. You must allow the release of sensations, so that your entire body and mind may fill with sensation, inspiration, and so life becomes effortless, inspired. You are not what you think of yourself - EVER. Get a dry erase board and a couple boxes of tissue. Let’s get living. Let’s get experiencing, and understanding, forgiveness, acceptance. Self. When you let all this attachment to the past go - and you catch even a teeny tiny micro glimpse of you who you really are - you’ll probably shit. Are you hearing what I’m saying man? You’re wonderful. Let go!
  10. Looking for ‘ways out’ is adding yet more thinking to the existing catalyst of the suffering, which is overthinking. More thinking won’t help. Letting go is what is needed. When we let everything troubling us go, all those thoughts, we eventually realize - you ARE the happiness itself. That is why it can not be found. Happiness is being, is the essential nature. You’ve been Happiness, for those ‘years and years’, believing thoughts, experiencing unhappiness. Everything can not look like delusion & illusion, and that is a very important thing to understand, a critical point, a turning point: Illusion - you’re being tricked. Such as a magician cutting a woman in half in a box. Delusion - you are holding on to falsity, projecting, unwilling to let it go, not understanding how you are holding on to it. This is so important because while one says “everything looks like delusion”, one is missing the very trigger of releases itself - which is that you are holding the delusion - it’s in your perspective, your perception. It would be hopeless is the delusion was in “everything” - but it is not, you can realize you are holding it - so there is indeed ALWAYS HOPE. This is not to be solved. This is to be let go. BECAUSE YOU ARE ENOUGH! YOU...YOU ARE ENOUGH! YOU DON’T NEED ANYTHING. Sans maybe - to begin letting go, of all beliefs against yourself, all resentments, all projections. Uncover YOU. YOU ARE GOOD my friend, and you will see. WE ARE GOOD.

  12. Yeah. That and the pesky fact all experience is “happening here”. In all universes, galaxies, etc, etc, so far reported experience on earth 100%, the rest of the entire infinite universe other than earth, 0%. Just worth considering the odds of this. Lol. So far objectively speaking, 0% odds. Or 100%, depends.
  13. @Inliytened1 Is a fish a high enough level of consciousness to be considered in enlightened?
  14. @mandyjw .....return to the Statue of Liberty....rather than meet there. @zeroISinfinity No, it can’t. Love ya! ♥️
  15. @Pouya Life doesn’t have context. I can not put pressure on myself. Hone into the sensation accompanying such a thought, and you know from the feeling it is not true. (You are not-two). Aside from that / those, you are creating as you go. Any “content” is also your creation, and there is no remaining apparent choice between feeling good, or being productive. Any residual is dissonance between what you really want, and what you are choosing.
  16. @Inliytened1 If nonduality is not a state and intellect is defilement, then relative is a “write off” of the intellect veiling nonduality, and there is no paradox. No?
