@BlessedLion Go deeper.

@Shaun https://m.wikihow.com/Breathe

You are not sitting on a beach at all. That’s ridiculous.

@mandyjw Touche’

@mandyjw The quote isn’t real. The joy in the laughter is. Do you see what I am not saying? (Op)

“If we globally organized a particular day, in which every human being on this earth stopped what they were doing, and held the hand of another, forming a perfect circle around the equator of the earth, the majority of us would drown.” -Osho

@Shaun If I might be blunt, you’ve been going about practicing in a manor which is actually exacerbating your suffering. Meditate first thing in the morning for 30 mins, and again in the afternoon for 30 mins. Keep your spine straight, adjust as needed for balance, and focus on breathing from your stomach, while relaxing / sending the “let go” signal to every muscle, from the top of your head, to your toes. Patiently wait with each muscle until you actually feel the ‘release’. Thoughts arise, keep returning your attention to breathing from your stomach. More thoughts are not what you need currently. You are already attached and identifying with them. You need space, and the realization, the direct “experience of” awareness. Then, as the space, as the emptiness, as awareness...contemplate the “things of the world”, and begin to recognize yourself in them. But first, discover the actuality of the self to be recognized. I will be so bold and obnoxious as to further say that anything outside of this, is procrastination fueled by the very thoughts which can be let go of. You will arrive here when you are willing. My hope for you, is that it is today, not decades from now.

Great willingness. Try to be as literal and critical as possible in answering these. Think as slowly as possible. Try to spot assumptions, collective agreements or “givens”, beliefs, projections. How do you know “I experienced” ? How do you know there is an “ I “, which is “experiencing”, and that this happened in a past? How do you know the words read are from an outside source? What / who makes words “mine”, what / who makes words “yours”? How do you know there is an “ I “ which “hears”? How do you know there is “internally”? How do you know “an then”? How do you know a causation transpired? How do you know one thing happened and then another? How do you know an image popped up “from” a stop sign? How do you know a stop sign exists, rather than just the image in mind? Where is the image now? Where is the stop sign now? Are you seeing a stop sign? How do you know you have ever seen a “stop sign”? Are you actually seeing that a stop sign is red and white? How do you know “red”? How do you know “white”? How is the knowing of any of this, actually separate from the things which are known? Do you know the knowing of seeing? Do you know that there is seeing, or only the knowing? Do you know the things which are seen?

@zeroISinfinity Ok. ♥️

@Shaun There is no present moment, no change, and no movement. None of those are possible. You are more awesome than you have realized. Forgetting is more encompassing than you have realized. Creating is more fun, more intrinsic, and more automatic, than you have realized. Attention on the thoughts you have been inattentive to allows unification, wholeness. Forgiveness and letting go are more powerful than you have realized.

@zeroISinfinity You just did what I mentioned.

@Neorez Now look into what you just experienced. What appeared to happen, and what actually happened? What can you say, with absolute certainty, you know about what you just experienced?

@Buba What is it you honestly think you need, to be happy, and complete? When you have that, or become that.... How did it complete you? How did it make you happy? How are you different now, than when you have or become, that ?

@Neorez What color are stop signs (typically)? Please don’t overthink this question.

@ElvisN ♥️ You’re the king after all!

@oMarcos A moment of no mind is better than sex, and without resistant thought, you’ll be having sex. Be attentive, to the thinking which you have thus far been inattentive, self referential thinking. A lot of energy goes into thinking one way and talking, acting, another. It’s ok to let go. Authenticity is attractive, we’re powerless. Where are you in this love story? Looking for it, or giving it? If you give it, you have it, you are it. There are lots of people needing to find it too.

@EvilAngel It’s about you.

@Buba What is wanted? What is loved? What is lost?

@Buba So cry. The tears are a gift.

@Socrates Let the habit of self referential thought go. Be aware every time you reconstruct a separate self, be it you or another. Understand how you create it in mind, watch that creating happening, and it’s inherently, joyfully, transcended. It is not a thing to embrace, but rather an apparent action to become aware of.

@Buba If those are the sensations, what are the emotions?

@ElvisN It’s likely you will have a true experience, and eventually the perceiver of good and bad will be revealed.

@SoonHei ? ♥️

Keep looking into those distinctions and it’ll make more and more sense. (And less) See if ‘human form’, ‘me’ and ‘you’, are appearance or actual, and you might find you can see more of what you’re thinking is “another’s experience” than you might currently believe you could. Try to let go of the hard line distinctions which were learned. Also, look for distinctions between consciousness, brain, mind, perspective, me, other, etc. Dissect them ‘down to’ nothing. They appear, but aren’t actual in appearance. Consider there is only infinity, no matter how convincing the distinctions appear, just magic. Notice claims the mind appears to make, and then be critical in verifying them, or uncovering the inherent falsity. Actually find out. Consider the nature behind them. You might find ‘everyone’ is experiencing the exact same “thing”, yet some see this, and some see only the appearance, some see both. Be willing to consider there is no such thing as a perspective, but rather the direct knowing itself, and therefore no silent observer, and no thinking entity at all, convincing as implication may be. Contrast direct experience of not-perspective, and not-knowing, and how you confirmed there is another thinker, another observer, to begin with. Try to leave room, wild as it sounds, that there is absolute, you, and you convince yourself an “it” is “relativity” - that your perspective already is infinity, in actuality, and nothing is ever hidden. Ask if what you are, and if seeing, and knowing, are outside of infinity, without a thought.

@Buba Recontextualize in language of sensation, feeling & emotion, rather than body parts, energy, electricity. Seems you might be depersonalizing what is quite intimate and personal, thus preventing the release and understanding.
