@Truth Addict ?? Imo, what is needed, is for you to notice the apparent separation of awareness and thoughts. It seems that pointers are going right to being contrasted against existing thought patterns and beliefs. I’d contemplate, by reading your last post, with the filter of “how much of this did I hear and believe, and how much is true, from my direct experience”. Scrutinize every word, belief, and perspective. Loosen the adherence to beliefs. There are projections like an idea of God, that I’d lose something, that I’d lose my parents, etc. You’d expand. Not lose anything.

....with thoughts? First, forgive yourself for having been undisciplined your entire life. Then redirect the thinking into a feverish stream of inquiry and actually do the work; inspect your own direct experience of your birth, and of death. Investigate your own direct experience of being not alive; which is being used as the basis to believe “alive”. I’d suggest doing this right away, and until you fully realize that birth & death was always just a belief, that you perpetuated, now. ...“Used to believe in”?

You dream of annilation! You can never be anniliated. You can dream there is a “real” and you are “alive”, but then, “you’d” be scared to “leave it”. A dream is just a dream, only when it’s “real”, do we make up stories...like birth, death, alive, etc.

? you too.

One more sentiment on the subject.... Why in the world would anyone have kids? What’s gained? For what reason? Not for a reason. Same as God and lives,.... just for the experience. Love.

NICE!

@Ingit Why does the words of the other hurt me? They don’t.

@Thoth Pick up a phone, dial 911, and say “I’ve been abducted”. Then wait a few minutes.

You’re self discovering, turning the awareness that you are, into itself, to know yourself. Don’t blame therapists, which YOU asked to help you do this. Just appreciate the help man. Then, there is no longer a “you” pretending some “separate entity” is “causing” “your” “depression”. Do you see? What you’re calling “depression”, is your own story you’re telling! TELL ANOTHER ONE. ONE ALIGNED WITH FEELINGS. AN HONEST ONE.

(Face palm) Sharp, you are in the very materialism mindset of which you ask of. Notice the subtle nuances of separation still present.

You’re pretending to have removed yourself from reality when you judge it as good & bad, thus reducing your Self to a separate finite thing, and enabling a perception of opposites (duality). Do you see that you yourself are creating the dualistic view of which you’re asking about, by remaining unaware? Now, put yourself ‘back in’ “reality”, don’t hold it as separate. All that you see, is you. Now, are YOU bad or good? Are YOU love or hate? Are YOU bliss or pain? YOU don’t know, because instead of looking within, you’re looking for answers without. The path is - YOU find out the answer to these inquiries. They are inquiries, about YOU. YOU will need to unmaster (surrender, know) feeling. Or, don’t ‘be on the path’, remain ignorant & lost in abstraction (thinking), live in a surface level of experience, take ‘other peoples’ word for it, adopt beliefs instead of discovering the actual Truth, keep imposing YOUR morality, YOUR judgements, on this separate “reality”. It does not matter either way. To see “other” is already an act of violence, to hear the word “Truth” is already the path.

Nothing is taking place from the mind, “ordinary reality” is Mind, so there is no ‘mind some thing is from ’. That mind is “the veil”. ‘Everyone’s’ experience is the same, but is also uniquely different, just as you are like everyone but also uniquely different. There are countless facets that get categorized, but can’t be really, and no distinguishable facets at all. Yes. There are no things. There is no such thing as a separation. It’s a conditioned thought. ‘How big’ “it” is can’t be thought because “it’s” “infinite”, and also because you can’t separate from “it” to measure “it” a part from you. There aren’t parts, separations or pieces. (Also, that’s what she said).

Ok. Take care. We wish you well!?

@Sri McDonald Trump Maharaj Great to hear! Sugar is a tough one but well worthwhile. For sure journaling! Keep healin man ?

@Highest You never move, never come and never go, nowhere. There’s no body, nothing leaves it, there’s no death. You are not alive. You are God with omnipotent power, and this, is what you are, now.

What else would you do? ?

No. It is so easily ‘done’ blinking your eyes is more effort. Do you have thoughts? Are you aware of thoughts? Are you awareness then, or one of the thoughts?

You’ve had some awesome realizations lately and I love you, but humility is headed your way. Buckle up, and know it is worth it, and it will pass. Or of course, I’m wrong, so just ignore.

@CreamCat Oh yes it does.

@Highest The Truth.

@moon777light Don’t try to encapsulate a memory, or thought of the past. I was suggesting to utilize those methods to continue expressing, emptying, thus self understanding / self knowing has space to arise (where thoughts of what self is used to be). There is a realization of that as the actuality (the ‘glimpse’), and when you see you are perpetuating and carrying the barriers, they are transcended, and that ‘glimpse’ is realized to have been your default state 24/7. Don’t focus on / attempt to relive the glimpse. Be willing to be aware of how you are adding the barriers (thought patterns against self), everyday. Another way to look at this, is when you are humble enough to say “I don’t know what / who I really am”, then negative thoughts against yourself (worry, anxiety, etc) are no longer justified, and the silliness is revealed. Let them go.

Keep lookin.
