@Matt23 Owning it, is noticing it’s your own chosen point of view. Then be done with it, and chose a better perspective. One that actually feels good.

She did it from a place of Love. You are not “there”, you are here, now. You are grand central station, and the thoughts leave you like trains. You can hop on one, sure. If it gets a bit crazy, notice, you were never really on a train (it’s just a thought story about a “you” and a “past” - notice this, and realize you are right here, grand central station, ya never left. The LOVE is through, ‘behind’, ‘prior to’ - your own sensations. That is the path you are on, regardless of the thought stories you entertain. Sensations arise, and you keep linking them to a thought story (“you” & the past)...while the sensations are telling you, the way you are choosing to look at things, which is causing resentment, abandonment, etc,etc - is not true. You are here now. That is true. Keep going to thought stories, and you keep suffering. Seek some quality counseling if need be, read some books, if need be. Meditate, slow the attachment down - you don’t need to believe thoughts, ever. You are a creator. Not a regretter, not a resenter. That will never feel good. Dad was doing his best - he ignored his sensations too. Mom is doing her best, living in non-sense. What about you though? Same? Doubt it. You can create.

@Aakash This.

What if we were all having this conversation in a room, and after so much deliberation we actually came to a democratic conclusion, a consensus, all the while not knowing there is a button outside the room which removes the floor, so the room can be filled, and emptied again, and again. At some point, that button should be addressed, no? Probably best if we just don’t talk about it. Nice room.

@Aakash I don’t know how sneaky I am, a no-chance-level-sneakyness. So infinitely sneaky indeed, got words like “infinite”, and “sneaky” to pull the wool. Sometimes I understand that there is no understanding while I’m referring to the understanding there was never an understanding, and pretending someone is there understanding the reference that there is no such thing as understanding. An eye roll and a psshhh to “Sneaky”.

No, we can’t, we’re that web you weaved, but you can. Godspeed, “Charlotte”.

@Paul92 The division, threatening people, and creating debate, is one’s own creation, one’s own doing in perception. Word’s, often the word “it”, is used like a shelf we put the responsibility of examining direct experience on. As in, “not me...it”. Examining the “it” is examining one’s own perspective, a big step closer to Truth, and a huge step in the ‘elimination’ of suffering, specifically anger and triggers. The frustration about “talking about it“ is actually a thought story about talking about “it” (something not me), and a sensation saying “this view is not True” (because “it”, is you, and “it” is love). In misunderstanding the sensation, the sensation gets labeled “anger”. The non-sense (Thought story & misunderstood sensation) gets reinforced. In believing in this falseness, from misunderstanding, the anger & frustration are experience (created) over & over again. Essentially, this hands the helm over to an “it”, and that does not feel good because it is not actually possible / true. “It’s” a denial of Self. “It” doesn’t resonate, because you are truth. When “it” is realized to be a thought, the triggering is no longer possible / created. A chat sound great. Traveling a lot lately, hit me up mid week.

@Paul92 You kind of repeated the same thing. I mean, literally tell me how you know his direct experience is that he is ‘an understander’...and you would have your answer.

@Paul92 Tell me how “surely it is”, and you’ll have your answer.

If there was an “it” causing division, threatening people, and creating debate in my life, I’d definitely see what “it” actually is.

@assx95 Meditation is the way. You’re believing you are a separate self, the one in the thought story. You can’t be anything you think, because you’re aware of the thoughts. Awareness. When those thoughts don’t feel good, it’s because they’re not true, yet you’re believing them, and identifying with them. That it doesn’t feel good tells you that you are so much more, so much bigger and better, than any thought could imply. Meditation will help you slow down the cycle of thought-about-self-arises-and-is-believed. When you say “the ego’s identification with my facial looks....” You’ve already fragmented yourself , and are shifting the responsibility to an ‘ego’, and already identified with what is seen.

@Leo Gura Awesome.

@Wisebaxter Infinite intelligence, spontaneous creation unbound, appearing as wisebaxter & the world....so....the appearance will appear the only way it could...finite intelligence, chosen creations, appearing bound. In the same fashion, what is eternal and appears to itself, while unknowing of, or, in unrecognition of self...there appears to be “time”. Infinity...unrecognized, appears as ‘being in space’. Infinite love appears as a limited ‘product of’, etc, etc.

Conscious stomach breathing meditation allows thoughts to pass, emptying the mind. Then self inquire, and in a similar fashion, let all thoughts pass, until there is the unmistakable arising feeling & knowing. Thoughts are like clouds blocking the clear sky, yet within the clear sky. Don’t make a goal of stopping or being without thoughts. Just consciously breathe from your stomach, and the sky will clear all on it’s own.

Something else is missing, and reveals something about yourself.

It’s because the perspective is false as it’s rooted in objective materialism. You are reality, you are not physical and ‘in’ reality. What you can experience has zero to do with any ‘proof’ in what is seen and heard / what people say and do. Asking from falsity, all answers are unsatisfying. One can not satisfy a thought story, satisfaction is sensation. Thought separated from sensation is unsatisfying non-sense.

No, opposite direction. (Not implying there’s anything wrong with that.) Basically I’m not talking about people and stories, rather making the plea not to wait, but to see.

Siddhis aren’t ‘higher states’, it’s what mind does naturally when calmed for the duration (transpires in no-mind / “not-individual-mind”). Your thought story, and that there is a sensation to be tapped into. You can go to Reiki classes and see for yourself that we are capable of healing ourselves. These thought stories function preventatively relative to doing that. Make that jump.

@fridjonk Great post! Please change your picture though. Thanks! ♥️ https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/

@Rilles If you pay critical attention to direct experience, to only what you know to be True, you will find you are aware of “other people’s” thoughts, and “other people” is just a thought.

@GreenWoods There is a tendency to ‘claim’ the understanding or knowing of higher truths with psychedelics. Nothing “wrong” with that, but the shaktipat is a blissful not-knowing-ness, so the timing of the two might not be ideal as one might not have awareness to their barriers of knowing. I’d suggest finding someone who can offer the shaktipat as well as assist you in unwinding the things you know.

@kieranperez ???

So beautiful. Will give that a read. Thanks!

@Aakash SO SNEAKY!!! LOL
