  1. @Phoenixx Nice. Maybe that’s why we call them ‘our relatives’.
  2. @rorghee Sorry but I’m not clear on what you’re saying. Can you state what you want in as few words as possible?
  3. @rorghee I am understanding of what you don’t want. It’s just not interesting. I am interested in what you do want. Are you interested in sharing more of what you do want?
  4. @rorghee What would you be doing if you didn’t have the fear?
  5. The path never leads you to doubt a relationship. What you seek, is seeking you.
  6. @matthew7 Real, is just another thought.
  7. @matthew7 Purification occurs when we become willing to see how sneaky thinking is, and we recognize we create our own thought stories, which is so sneaky we create an “identity” with it. We didn’t really though. That’s delusion, falsity, misunderstanding - not actuality. And it is let go.
  8. @OBEler Not one to ever discredit music, nor having a great time tripping on it.... but... in the context you’re asking, I’d say the best thing is to simply sit down. That’s it. Ideally, in nature. Just more or less say, “ok, I’m done tree. Tell me now”. And just sit there. For “best spiritual growth”....the more it’s just you, the better. Even waves are distractive.
  9. The previous verbiage, of the “contents” we mistake for a separate self, right on. Then, here, you are claiming the desire. So is desire more of the same “content”? Is desire yours ? Because you are “it”. Honesty is not a thought. Only linguistically can honesty appear dualistic. Honesty limited in thought to something that can be reasoned won’t due. What if the answer you receive is yes? What if it’s no? Who could know? Who would you listen to, who would you place above yourself with such authority? How could that be... “honest” ... really? A separate self is conceptual, and can not have purpose, because it doesn’t exist. (Sans a concept) Defense. Go counter logical to that. Rather than attempt to disidentify, befriend and inspect how you re-create it. If there is no identity, there is not the potential to disidentify, only the creation of the identity the - ‘one who disidentifys’. What is the calling? Why do you want to? If it were pulled out by the root a month ago - what would you be doing differently, now?
  10. “Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? You think that's air you're breathing now?”
  11. Welcome tot he forum Something to consider, when you ask questions, you are finding out the answer for yourself.
  12. @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.
  13. @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.
  14. You’re already doing all of this. Consciousness is about realizing it, not becoming anything.
  15. 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.
  16. @winterknight Godspeed Beautiful! & a sincere thank you sir.?? All timing divine, I give it three months.
