If you could tell by looking, you wouldn’t be seeing.

Without judgement, what is forgiveness? The forgiver is already the forgiven. Thought is sneaky, but Love never fails. The baseline shifts in consciousness are often in two parts, the expansion, and then the flotsam & jetsam.

This.

Bliss is an experience achieved from LIMITING YOURSELF. I love you, and also you have no idea what you’re talking about. If the Truth were horrible would you be pursuing it? If you already new you wouldn't be pursing.

@reves Awesome. Thanks!

I see where you’re coming from, and I apologize. I meant that in the sense, sometimes it’s more simple than our conversations suggest. Sometimes in addressing the sensations one is experiencing rather than the thought content of dogma, nonduality, religion, etc, etc, the polarity is known in the self if you will, and then the Self begins to become known, and the Will becomes known. Again though, sorry. I am probably the biggest thread hijacker in the community and I can be more mindful of that. ?? Simpler said, rather than “what are you thinking? ”...perhaps “what are you going through?” Helps.

This is you creating. Give it a quick read, and decide if its being created from repetitions of the mind in avoidance of self. If so, stop creating it. Instead, accept the sensation, without a word, in silence, alone. Become distinctly aware of what you can point to, and what is a thought. This Truth will set you free. You can not point to the past, nor future, nor the self. You can point though. And you can point yourself in the direction you desire, without fear, without thinking. The power of Love is a curious thing.

Earlier when my seven year old daughter walked out of the bathroom, my wife said “did you drop the kids off at the pool?”. She answered “Ya. But they all died”.

The entire show is perpetuated by ignoring one’s own sensations, essentially, one’s self. It could not be more simple. Thinking however, the alternative to sensations, is an infinite relative carousel; both in Truth offering and Truth seeking. Suffer a lifetime, it is complex. Seek the message of your own sensations, it is simple.

@Not me https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/34667-shroom-tea-recipe-other-psychedelic-methods/?do=findComment&comment=420087 Of course you should shroom at a music festival. Make tea. Empty stomach. Drink lots of water, watch the hydration. Every year I’ve been to Bonaroo someone died, always of dehydration.

Very zoomed in. How’s your zoom out (meditation discipline)?

Unconditional Love is the actuality. The “seer” of all “duality”, even ‘one’s’ about unconditional Love.

Sometimes it’s not about nonduality, religion, truth, dogma or even liberation. Sometimes it’s straightforward loss & suffering, and just saying “I don’t want to be alone, Jesus is with me, God watches over me”.

@kieranperez I hear all that and again, you’re doing great imo. The things you mentioned, would you consider labeling each of them with one word: as a thought, or a sensation? I think it might be helpful, especially with the ongoing overwhelming.... self acceptance trust faith trauma shame fear guilt anxiety type 6 indecisiveness self doubt stuck in a rut quitting giving up apathy laziness self hatred terrified demoralized seeking validation seeking security let myself down overwhelmed

You’re creating the fear (psychologically). Stay with the sensation to realize this. Godspeed man. ??

@Pouya The entire “bubble of awareness” if you will. Think of yourself as the whole scene, not the actor and or writer. The appearance, the interpretation, perception, internalization, emotional response, emotionally driven thoughts, reactive or creative response. Then shine on the really nuanced, but more powerful stuff.

@kieranperez Not sure how I missed it, but fantastic trip report! Thank you for sharing. You’ve come a very long way. The details will fill in. Getting that solid vision was a detail that filled in. That’ll keep comin. Let go & enjoy it, the challenges to. They draw You out. To ‘connect your dots’ so to speak, is change your interpretation & perception of meditation. That ‘come down’, leaving the trip and going back into ego...I would dial the awareness into that. Understand how you recreate it each day. It is nuanced and takes time, but is also always readily available. A “nothing is hidden from you” suggestion. Again, you’re doing great imo. I wish you’d be easier on yourself. Little bit heartbreaking. Meditation is the way.

Thought & emotion is clearer when the analysis is not limited to the body & mind.

That’s it. That post. You’re great at this.

@kieranperez Ya. Lol. It really is. Seriously though, do for you until you’re full, whole. If a day comes when you do for ‘others’, great. If not, great.

@kieranperez I’d do what you want to do. If it happens to be that, great. If not, great. Someone will always admire you. Someone will always resent you. Do what you really want.

You are doing exactly that. It’s relative. ?? @Inliytened1 Absolutely. ?? ...and just to shake the haters out of the bushes once more...Ester Hicks. ?
