@cetus56 ?

Knowledge is a veil, duality (appearance / illusion) . The ‘real’ of the feeling of knowing knowledge, is knowing the self derived from having forgotten the self. There is no actual duality known, only an idea of a knower and it’s knowledge. A being which is itself infinite intelligence recognizing itself, never actually knowing any thing. There isn’t actually any knowledge or a thing to know, You just appear that way. Duality isn’t perceived within nonduality, nonduality is known in spite of the illusion duality, like remembering in spite of having forgotten, but what was forgotten was No Thing / The Substance Of Not Knowing / You. A body isn’t dropped, there never was a body. Duality isn’t dropped, because it never actually was some thing, delusion is dropped, in recognition there isn’t any. There is only Being recognizing and knowing itself. If the cosmic joke is not funny, the joke is on “you”.

@abrakamowse If there is infinite, you are infinite. If there is anything which makes distinctions, It is you. If there is any apparent effect, it is you. If you part out survival you create the distinction. So creation seems transcendent to survival. You are creating by default, but the distinction of survival is the duality of the thoughts about dying, or not surviving. If a creative artist adopts identity of a creator, it is still you and your creation which is you. You could knowing lose identity. You could unknowingly lose identity. You could knowingly create identity. You could unknowingly create identity. It’d always be you.

@Bill W Nothing, and no.

The I realize what Osho means but see me as Osho “level”.

Asleep, separate, material, physical... identified with the body. (While actuality is ‘not a body’) Awake, realized the actuality. Nothing actually happened with the “body”.

@moon777light Yes.

I do not envy the pickle you’ve created. ♥️??

@moon777light Babies? No. When you have one you’ll see, they do not aid in your survival. But I am not talking about the appearance of creating, I am talking about Creating. You create every appearance of every passing moment, your body, your thoughts, your perspectives, your internalizations, your choices, etc. You are the Creator of you, a dream of a life time....and “within” this, you are creating the life of your dreams. If you reduce creating to survival, you created that distinction.

Neato! More please. Just a thought...lol...play the video on one device, while using voice to text on another, and you have a transcription which only needs a few corrections. Also, the phone tone is A, the background hum of the universe is C, referred to as middle C, which all sound and music is relative to.

@Aakash The word subconscious is like the word nonexistent. Nonexistent...whatever one uses that word for, was a thought, not actually something which exists. Subconscious...used to refer to what you are not conscious of, and specifically implies it is ‘sub’, or ‘prior to’ what you are conscious of. The “subconscious”, is not a second mind nor some “other thinking”, it is your emotions, and emotions influence thoughts. It eludes you, because thoughts are linear and finite, and you are readily aware of them. “Holding” onto, attaching to, identifying with - thoughts & concepts...rather than letting them go...serves as a protective mechanism to not feel emotions, to not connect all of you together, to not be experiencing the actuality of the whole of you. You can let go on the cushion. You can let go while someone points out what you are missing / suppressing. You can breathe consciously from your stomach 24/7, and embrace every arising sensation & emotion, you can know all of you. And you are wonderful.

@moon777light Excellent contemplations. Creating isn’t survival, it’s inclusive of survival, while transcendent of it.

How is focusing on what you don’t want working out for you? How is desiring the opposite of your experience working out for you?

@Shaun Good to know, thanks.

Awesome.

It’s practically impossible not to overthink the most simple & obvious non explanation. Unthinkably simple and infinitely hysterical.

When you let thoughts go clearer thoughts arise. That can go on all the way from overthinking to channeling. When you let the insights go deeper ones arise, and that can go all the way to awakening. Eventually you’re emptied, and that can be enlightening. I think it’s fair to say our Being, our Love, is more readily shareable. You might try a reiki class. It’s amazing how spending time putting yourself aside for someone else’s healing can reveal a whole new depth of the possibilities of self. It’s quite possible your energy excess is actually a natural gift in the spiritual sector, for healing...but intellect is trying to make sense of it, intellectually. It would makes sense of why sharing conceptually leaves you unsatisfied emotionally.

@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”?
