Notice in your direct experience you can not point to “free will”, nor have you ever heard, seen, or touched it. It is the content of a thought, of or about a thing - “free will”. But free will is not a thing, it’s your reference, to your idea. Notice there is not actually any “free will” found in your thought about “free will”. All that is found in a thought, is thought. Same for “no-free-will”. Notice these are thoughts, you are aware of. Notice in your direct experience you can not point to “me”, nor have you ever heard, seen, or touched “me”. It is the content of a thought, of or about a thing - “me”. But you are not a thing, that’s a reference, to your idea of you. A thought about you. Notice these are thoughts, you are aware of. Does thought content “me” have thought content “free will”? Or am I aware that I am the awareness, of all thoughts? Then draw whatever distinctions you want. They’re also thoughts.

That rollercoaster is happening as states, within you. You are not on the rollercoaster actually, as you are aware of it. Meditation every morning, and again in the afternoon, will change your entire outlook and life. Meditate, letting ALL of it go. All these things are happening within the infinite peace you truly are. Self discover. Meditate.

The perspective that I am experiencing something other than what I am putting the focus on - that the focus is other than the reality. Quite obvious, if you focus on it.

@Truth Addict Life is eternal.

@Peanut Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

@Truth Addict Greatest life possible..?

@Viking Awesome! That’ll do it.

@Viking How’s meditation going? That will settle the mind. Your natural state is bliss.

@pluto Not at all ??♥️

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Come, come, whoever you are, Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving— it doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a hundred times Come, come again, come! Rumi

@Serotoninluv lol wow!

@seeking_brilliance How’d I get here? ...Big Bang, conceived, universe, via a parent. Apparent indeed.

@zeroISinfinity ??♥️ Iron Maiden, of course. Missed their wisdom entirely, thank you.

@Serotoninluv The Care Bears? Assuming you’re going freakin Care Bears on me...personality.....facets....nothing...?

@EvilAngel “I think I just went to sleep” There is the awareness of, the stated “I” which the thinking is being credited to, and then the third “I” which is being referenced as allegedly having went to sleep”. Of the three, which One is You? Are you aware I am asking you this? Or are you aware of a screen, implying there is this me? Are you aware there is a screen? Or are you aware of seeing? Are you aware of seeing? Or are you awareness, and honestly have no idea at all what is going on? Is the word “awareness” you? Is the meaning it points to, you? ________________________________. It is ok to laugh.

@Serotoninluv Don’t get me started. ?

@Bryanbrax The brain is an appearance of the “underlying” actuality. Like explaining how the toaster and bread work, without acknowledging the unseen electricity.

@Serotoninluv I like the theme of the Goldilocksness of the universe, and the psychedelic breadcrumbs leading us back home...home being death. @pluto I hear ya. Me too. I’ve also seen a couple ‘trips gone wrong’. I’ve seen some say “wow, that was a nightmare, but I now see how much I’m carrying, and what the call of spirituality is all about” and then get on the path. While others say “wow, that was a nightmare” end of story.

Psychedelics are quite funny in the sense they can reveal there was never anyone knowing anything, including of course what psychedelics do. @Serotoninluv Do psychedelics induce / cause trauma though? Or do they reveal the trauma that is identification, is attachment, is suffering, the falsity of materialism in general - in a materialistic culture / society, etc? Thoughts on that...? Isn’t it the “mind” of the “person” which is completely relative (made up), and the psych’s are simply Truth, so the reaction to absolute (Truth), is what is “relative”...?

@Shaun Well how bout just from your current perspective then....whatever you put in front of you, you experience, and you choose what that is, in an ongoing manor. Nothing other than all of your choices thus far in life led to the post you just made. You’ll choose what to say next, you’ll know how it feels, and you incorporate / listen to / align with that feeling, or not. In the same manor, no one has ever won the lottery, who did not buy a ticket. They chose to buy the ticket. You can make choices that feel good to you. In what you say, what you do, etc. @Natasha ♥️

@Serotoninluv Awesome. ?? “I want to know what enlightenment is! ....Oh, there’s nothing to know. Ok. Alright”

?? Sensation is far more powerful that thought. Listen to it. If “it feels bad to think about X” - listen to that sensation, ponder the Truth in the message of that sensation. Why does it feel bad to judge others? Because the perspective “others” is simply not True, and you did not “come here” to think, you came here to make your music, and enjoy living. You would not turn on Mortal Kombat, and then set the controller on the floor, and ponder what the other character in the game is thinking. You would play. Life is intrinsically the same. You are pretending there is a separation, that you are a separate being / entity - separate from the universe, separate from other people. Then, from that false perspective, you tend to think more about what other people will think, than you are focusing on doing what you love. The truth is you could make the exact music you enjoy, and there will be an audience for it. Check for yourself. Think of something you believe nobody would want in a million years...google, YouTube, amazon it, and you will see, people actually do want it. Seven billion interests is so vast, you can do whatever you can think of and there will be people interested, and people not interested. See “life as a buffet”....if you like chicken, eat it. If you don’t like liver, pass on it. Don’t dwell on liver when there is chicken. When someone expresses judgement of you, or your music - simply know you are doing what you love, and they wish they were too. Perhaps your music strikes exactly this nerve, in it’s message of living, loving, and letting be. You are indeed no thing, all things, and you have the sensational guidance of God, hardwired within you. This is the greatest thing anyone could possibly ever have, and you already have it. You will never be without it, yet you are free to choose whatever perspectives you like. Might be wise to listen to the ‘opinion’ of the sensations as you go. What if “baby, baby, baby, ohhhh” - is closer to the Truth than the culmination of every book ever written? What if life is simple, and you can dream it up, and experience it? Notice, when someone is talking to you, the tendency to think about your response while they’re still talking. Just notice the mind drifting etc. In being attentive to this, return to actually listening - actually experience the person as they are, without any input from your thoughts. You might “blow it” a few times, but you’ll notice now, and that will begin to open a door for you, a new ‘seeing’, if you will. Also, more practically speaking, you already have an audience. I want to hear your music. Also, you have arguably the greatest example right here in front of you. Have you not seen the threads people make, judging Leo? Do you not see how the Love he is giving, his dedication to the betterment of mankind, stirs up egos, and the judgement of? Do you think he gives a fuck? No. Why? Because he knows he’s creating, and that is just the nature of The One forgetting “it’s self”, and working it’s way to remembering. We all die. We don’t all live. Time is short. Don’t give a fuck.

@Shaun Perhaps you are making a material distinction which the teachers you reference are not intending, in the sense, it is much more nuanced than “giving to the universe & winning the lottery”. You are not a person in a world, but an entire magic experience, which appears to transpire as a ‘person in a world’. You are the creator / creation, so intrinsically, you are unnoticeable to you. Any “you” which can be thought of or pointed to, is a “you” which You are creating. Every feeling, thought, choice, intention, intonation, desire, etc - all consciousness, vibrant, infinitely intelligent and connected. Consider last night’s dream. Where you in it? Or did the entirety of the dream all take place within You? What is your dream life? Are you inspired by it, living it, knowing today chalked full of opportunities to enjoy the realization of your dream? In doing so, the barriers you’ve created become apparent, and thus there is the potential to liberate, to let go of such barriers.
