Do you see how your comment reveals that to you, I am these things? I am not a moderator, an authority, nor a figure or an I. No, there is no such thing as autonomy. There’s the illusion of it. This doesn’t have anything to do with rules, nor did I say or imply that it did. Can you see how this reveals you have a resistance to authority & following rules? No there’s no such thing, ultimately, as freedom. There is the notion of freedom from something, a duality, a counter reaction to the belief you are already in bondage in some way. You are not, and could scrutinize that belief, and transcend it. What should or shouldn’t be taken seriously is up to you, as you are the creator and experiencer of the very seriousness you hold. My comment was to take a look at your intentions in making a post, prompting a question...only to shrug off the suggestions from others - which again, you yourself asked for. Imo, this shows you have some beliefs about yourself, which leave you feeling helpless. In an effort to avoid inspecting this, a solution oriented to the long term, you instead are at the whim of cleverness, asking a question only to then diminish those who try to help you with an answer, or a perspective on your question....which was.... If everything is made of love, why don’t I feel it 95% of the time? If you are out of alignment with (whatever word you like) God, Source, The Higher Self, The One, The Truth, etc - you feel it, and it sucks. You’ll ask for help, and immediately turn it away, because you are unknowingly seeking power. The power is within you, all the while. The sensations are direct ‘connection’, to Truth, to true power, to the “other 95%” of you. This means you have to inspect the perspective you created which is not true, not aligned with The Truth / Love (95%). I have a hunch what stands for you to inspect is not what anyone would call “easy”. I am sorry for that. But here we are, right? What can be done now, yes?

@AleksM Awesome.

@EvilAngel Because you aren’t inspecting your intentions. Consider your intentions in making this thread, and then ‘turning it’ on the person who responded.

@Key Elements Any thoughts on black holes, gravitational lensing, etc?

Let’s say you continue living in alignment with your passion, you’ve orchestrated all your planning and preparations as best you can, and you’ve opened your gym. You’ve done the advertising, handed out the cards, spread the word, etc. You’ve made the best choices you can, working within the restraints of your budget, and you have put your heart into your dream as well as dedicated the majority of your time, attention, money and focus to making this happen. You’re a month into the grand opening, things are going well, clientele is growing, word of your approach, your dedication to well being, and your compassion to share this with the world, is spreading. One day, in walks a new client. He is overweight, struggling with sugar addiction, self image, self esteem, overthinking, and general overeating. A month has passed, and in working with him, you have been at his side as he too made the choice to confront his fears, to rise above and better himself and his circumstances, to care for his health, to love and appreciate his body - to make the best of his life. There were moments of extreme resistance, many moments of “I can’t”. But because you were ‘there’ too, and you chose to keep going in the face of your fears, you know what he’s going through, and he knows you know, he deeply recognizes this, feels this, and you coach him straight through it; gently when needed, firmly when needed, supporting just as needed, and challenging him precisely when needed. You see that in his toughest moments when everything in him wants to give up and settle back into his old habits - you see that he draws upon your guidance, and your inspiration, he recognizes that he can, and he keeps going forward. Now a few months have passed, and he has made significant progress in his physical well being, he’s making choices more aligned with his true intentions. He shares the impact this is having in his life with you. He shares that in his new found energy & clarity, he is mending relationships, truly becoming a better person, and doing the things he always wanted to but just couldn’t seem to muster the vision and energy to do before. Imagine it is in that exact moment that you fully realize the magnitude of the impact you have had on his life. You realize the driving force behind your efforts, what truly kept you going in your darkest times, the very heart and source of your passion - was always, in it’s rawest nature, simply unconditional love. Imagine that you become aware that this is the unstoppable drive you yourself, in spite of every obstacle and via your relentless dedication, have tapped into, imagine he too realizes this along with you, for the very first time in his life - that this power exists within him as well. Now, imagine the appreciation he holds for you and your efforts on his behalf, and he simply can not bare the weight of holding out on you a minute longer, as he shares with you that it was him who posted the video. And you laugh, as you tell him, “it’s ok”. And you remind him that we are indeed all in this together, and that this love is for sharing, and that he can come to back to you in his times of doubt, and draw upon your inspiration any time it’s needed, so that he may remember it is also within him. Imagine that in this recognition, a sort of communication occurs which is transcendent of any words, more powerful in fact than any communication - rather, a bond is remembered, and realized. Imagine your newest client, yet to overcome his fears, has observed this interaction, and is quite taken back by this genuine display of selflessness, and he asks you how you could be so forgiving, so accepting. He just can not fathom or understand this, can’t grasp it. And imagine you simply tell him, in your knowing of this love, in the conviction of the knowing of your source, simply that, ours is not a caravan of despair.

@krockerman Insightful.

@Aaron p Awesome.

@Leo Gura Of course there will be. ?? You rock man.

@Wekz What a wonderful share! Congrats!

@Serotoninluv Like when you ‘peel the onion’...tears.

@Serotoninluv ?

@Truth Addict ??? Love ya!

Direct experience is always king.

@winterknight Thank you! ??

@Mikael89 Awakening is far more radical than has yet crossed your mind. Imo, you are well ‘on your way’ as of late. ?? Get that kensho bro.

@Aeris Right in the feels. ♥️

I know, right? Can you even imagine what transcending your current position to the realization you are all of everything which ever occurred? Can you grasp how liberation feels? Probably not. But, there’s a fail safe for you, which you are not taking advantage of. You are not the first to suffer, you wil not be the last. But there are millions of people willing - dying to - help you. If you need some milk, you don’t curse the grocery store, you take the first step out, towards it. Liberation = Happiness, bliss, truth of self. The difference between talking the path and walking the path can never be communicated. But, see the obvious simple logic, that you can start taking steps, that you must.

@Shaun When I was about your age I did see several therapists. The therapy didn’t help in this case, no transference, more offerings of Amway schemes , but the choosing to stop blaming other people, videos, what have you, was a major paradigm shift, resulting in a major “breakdown” / “transference to Nothing”, in which I lost my name. In a nutshell, it was a big step closer to what I needed, along with other efforts in accountability for my own well being, resulting in realizing I needed to chose radical responsibility, over complaining. Best I can remember (24 yrs ago) I don’t think I was aware I was almost constantly blaming & complaining, thus creating the very perspective in which I was experiencing the suffering, just like you are creating now. The perspective creates the suffering, the suffering is fear, the fear prevents the inspect of the creation of the perspectives. A circle I would not wish upon anyone. There’s a paradox which is tough to swallow, but when the fear & protective mechanics of survival are inspected and addressed properly by inspecting the creation of your perspectives, the paradox dissolves revealing the love it was all along. If you had awareness you are creating your reality, you would of course not relive the past, nor use it to filter your creating of now. Notice no one awakened plays the victim role, and try to make that connection. In a hindsight clarity, you’d be well aware you were deeply asleep, and were not aware you were creating. Notice - you can not rationally deny, all of your choices have led you to this exact here now. You can not both be in a thought story of self / past, and present here now creating. Because in actuality, there is no you in the thought story’s (though it is insanely convincing there is) there is no you to resolve anything in such thought stories. The opportunity for resolution is always present, you must not continue running from it. Here now presence is the “resolution”, to leaving to the past or future via thought stories. Face it, see what it is, now. You are one, not both of those “you’s”, if you will. Create the reality where you let the past go, actually, then you see, then your trajectory of realization is pointed to Wholeness. You are the understanding, that’s why it feels so good and releases falsities. The understanding of the fragmentation you’re creating is itself the recognition of you true being as what was formerly referred to as the fragmentation. It is worthwhile. Taking all the help and resources available to you is the key. Humbleness, humility and peace - “more of true being / self” - are always found within this, wether the methods per se “helped” or not, it’s about you seizing this life of yours. It’s about the choice to move forward in admitting the fear. Anything inspected amply dissolves, fear is not exceptional at all - you’re creating it. You can stop in any given moment, though I acknowledge it is easier said than done, it is away’s nonetheless the truth. Trauma creates a greater void, literally, between thought story you, and The Light You (pls forgive the linguistic of separation). You can forget who you really are, but you can not actually not be who you really are. To pretend you can, is suffering. The you that you think you are has no creating power at all. It a thought, just like the thought ‘toaster’. It’s not a toaster, it’s a thought. Actual you is present indeed, right now, you are just aware of this. As such, you are The Creator, and you can forget this, but you can not not be The Creator in actuality. The painful, painful, painful! Paradox you’re choosing to dance with is the denial you are experience exactly how you’re choosing to perceive. This literally expands void, as all is ineffable truly, - imagaination, Mind, etc - your choices of self denial, God denial, your whole solipsism theory, the rejection of assistance and love from everyone, etc - you are painstakingly expanding the void. The only thing that will enable you to feel better, is to lesson your void, to admit for yourself you are indeed choosing your perspectives, and to begin choosing perspective which are authentic - aligned with your sensation, rather than against them. The practice is so fundemental and apparent, you’re missing it. Simply feel as you say something negative about yourself, and something positive. Notice how it feels, and listen to the sensation. Allow all of life to be so simple, cry out, punching bag out, run out, scream out - whatever our style - but let it out with certainty. Where you’re at is too much for one to bare and resolve alone, because your primary paint of your suffering is the topic of Alone. It’s toooo much. People can be helpful too you know. Perhaps that’s what you stand to discover so innocently. But we’re all here, and you are not alone. You are choosing the perspectives of this, because it seems the hurt is too much to revisit. That is a misunderstanding, which you could do without recreating anymore. If you’d like to chat lightly, nothing heavy introspective, just an experience of a different perspective, I’m up for that today. If not, at least consider why you would not accept the ear of one who lived through the hell. I created it too. I didn’t know either. Either way, thank you very much. I am most appreciative of you.

@seeking_brilliance Heaven is a pinch boring, so it is Good.

Do you see teachers who openly talk about this as misleading? Rupert is a good example. He is understanding of the ‘my’ ‘experience’ situation, fully understands the sorting of this is for the seeker to discover, and thus talks about his wife, son, Malfred, etc, openly. How is he misleading people in doing this? Thanks! ??

@Truth Addict Neither. Was sincerely asking you because I don’t see it.

The way you’re seeing it is what suffering ‘actually’ is. You’re recreating it daily via reactionary perspectives. Create perspectives instead. No one is making you chose the perspectives you’re choosing. You are doing that. It takes a tremendous amount of effort to withstand Truth to this degree for so long. I really do feel for you man, and hope you get some professional help asap.
