@seeking_brilliance Weird, not sure why. Can you edit the first post (op)? Maybe copy & paste the second into the first, then hide the second one.

@Aakash Yes, great distinctions. Love to see a ‘psychoanalysis report’. It’d be great for some testimony from direct experience to get some exposure here. It’s a natural transition too, where it seems you’re at in life. A shift if you will, form parental influence to independence, on a lot of levels. That growth can be noticed & appreciated, and enjoyed. Decades from now, in hindsight, you’ll be glad if you enjoyed each day to your best ability, regardless of what that is any given day.

@Aakash Eventually aspects of you would be revealed as falsity, purged & vanish, having gone deeper into yourself. Currently your focus is on fears, and bees & wasps, while you’re actually getting stung by overthinking, attachment & identification, suppression, and some denial... and not practicing, expanding on your well being & health, doing consciousness work, purification, etc. I believe your sense of tension is the relativity of your ability to be doing exactly what you want to be doing, but aren’t because of emotional avoidance, which fuels overthinking, which makes focusing difficult when it could otherwise be effortless. If you were doing what you truly wanted, life would purify you along the way, and you’d feel quite aligned. “Purification” would be recontextualized, relative to how you think of it now. IF you are not discovery and or doing what you really want to, get he best assistance you can find. I believe what you really desire to be doing, is trying all kinds of things, without knowing what they are right now. Without knowing ahead of time what will help, trying things. In a way, that is what ultimately helps. It’d be extremely rare that one single method would be enough, wether that’s general health or enlightenment. In any case, utilize every resource available. As soon as you start the smallest step, you’ll feel relief.

@Aakash In practice.

Thinking is more relative thinking, purification at the root is consciousness. More is cleared, and there’s more clarity. Love/Truth reinterprets, and there is more inspiration. Then you begin to know yourself as the concepts, not by the concepts. Go to the gym if you want to. Either way, if you know who you are girls are no problem.

@Shaun How do you want to feel?

Are you aware of the thought, “solipsism”?

@Pouya Real indeed. ♥️??

@Pouya Try to describe the sensation / emotion, “scary”...without resistant thoughts, without judgement, without conditions on the Love that you are, without ignore-ance of the Truth that you are. Be the pupil which is looking, not those which are seen.

@Shaun Are you aware of those thoughts about nothingness & space? Are you the awareness of thoughts?

This is a reference to Shaun’s thoughts. Not any actuality of the content referred to.

What is the difference between your thought about nothingness and space and the actuality of nothingness and space?

Does an apple have infinite properties?

@SoonHei So the apple tastes better. @Shaun At what exact point did the apple become the jobby?

@SoonHei When you eat the apple, at what exact point is it no longer an apple?

@ColdFacts Same for you ??

If you ‘might’ eat a hamburger and then compare having eaten it to the ‘default state’ the distinction wouldn’t shake out. You’d have to actually eat it, if you will, to compare the “chose identity state”, to the “default state”. (The default state is the ‘identity’ state, so it is what’s to be inspected.) You can’t ‘might have eaten it’, you have to taste it, feel it in you. Any thought about the self is also itself the self, so a thought can not be the actual ‘identity’ because the thought inherently implicates a separation by distinction. If there is an implied separation, it can’t be true of the self, because the self is what is aware of the thought about the separation (about the self). If one chooses a God identity, or a human identity...they actually chose a thought, not an identity. The actual ‘identity’ is behind the choice to begin with. You would have to ‘get down to’ the actual you, so to speak. You have to see what is actual, for your self. They’d still be in that ‘default state’. The reference to the distinction would actually be to a thought about it, not it. More importantly though, the turn from ‘installed to them’, to ‘I’m what identified with it’, is a good turn. I have a hunch your cold factual world will not go down easy. ?? The self image doesn’t actually die, so no worries. You become aware how you create it perpetually, and starting letting go. It is a transition to less baggage, carrying less weight. It is good.

@Inliytened1 Absolutely! I believe we have securely reached infinite humor here. This could go on infinity. ♥️

@ColdFacts How is identity something you could choose? You’d be you...choosing. What is identity?

@Cody_Atzori Awesome. Curious...what are you drawn to, life plans wise?

@seeking_brilliance Awesome thread! @Shin Hey! Nobody actually talks in riddles!

“It” is you, and you have never been, and can never be, two. Notice, you have only been one. Yes. Everything is One. There is no illusion. There is no collapse Really? Then what are you as your ego?. You. There is no other, no “absolute” to reference. You are only speaking from Being. Form and duality are a necessity that you are completely missing. Can you explain a little, how form and duality are a necessity. Maybe some examples. There is no other ‘highest perspective’. Then what is your perspective as the ego? I don’t know. There is not a here. Nor an All. Again, you are limiting infinity. Your not seeing the whole picture. What is the limiting nature of that comment? Could you give examples of here and all? Form is not an illusion, form is a thought Reality is a Giant mind. Its substance is nothing. Conscioisness is made of nothing..so everything is a thought that is form. “Form” is a dualistic thought (“Formless”). There is no Absolute thought....aka “Not Knowing”. Look at your hand, and notice hand is a thought, likewise, form is a thought. God is you. You do not need anything to know yourself Awakening is becoming conscious that you are God. You always were but you forgot. Where you ever not you? “God needs humans to know itself”....is a sneaky means of perpetuating the idea of duality, and separatism. Well intentioned though. ?? God uses dualities to explore itself. Not just humans but all form. Even your coffee table. This is hard to grasp without Awakening. Nothing, Infinite Intelligence, Nothing to know, Nothing to explore. There is nothing - nothing that can become known by exploration, whatever that would be, is already infinite consciousness. Dualities are not things used, they’re dualities, unrecognition of self. What is an example of a second thing which is not you? Infinity dualistically interpreted allows “uses”, “explore”, “form”. Who is something hard to grasp for? Who awakens? The only thing you can not do, is not be you. Yes you as big self. But small self can and will dissolve. You are two selves? ♥️??

You guys are hilarious.
