@Average Investor Eliptical, wireless earbuds, Ipad. This morning I ran 8.5 miles before I checked to see how far. (Distraction can be used too. )Also, with an elliptical you are potentially saving yourself from many joint problems down the road. If you feel short winded, or like you can’t go on, just stop for about one minute and wait. You’ll notice through feeling, that a body in motion does tend to stay in motion, regardless of the mind.

@moon777light Get up at 6 am no matter what. Splash cold water on your face. Ideally, go outside asap and just see nature. It’s so beautiful and it’s all just for you. Meditate at 6:30am, and know meditation is just for you, to just be you. Perhaps subconsciously, but, what is deeply worth waking up for, is unknowingly worth falling asleep for. (You, are worth anything and everything!)

@Arhattobe The cycle of lifetimes is a lesson for now, it is not intended to imply a past & future. Therefore, the same goes for karma.

It’s a doozy, but the earth does not revolve around the sun.

@noselfnofun Yes.

@Truth Addict All perspectives are the absolute too. (You) Funny? You can’t step outside of You. You can’t find You. Come on man. That shit is funny. Just stand up and say ok, I’m gonna look at myself once and for all. Take two steps forward, and turn around and look at yourself.

@Truth Addict Sweet. Whatever is perceived as not-me, once inspected enough, it’s me too. Toasters, hubcaps, etc.

Yes! What specifically are you saying you ‘haven’t been able to doubt”?

@Truth Addict Holy shit your avatar is funny.

@Truth Addict There’s no devil, no evil, no ego it is a perspective and it is not yours - it comes and goes!. God allows no thing to be, there is no thing, there is only God, no allowance - even that would be a limit, a condition. This often appears to be a “higher level” realization, but consider taking away “higher levels”, in actuality, this is appearance of appearance as one is closer (more accepting) of one’s self. One’s self is God, so upon encroaching in ‘proximity’ - thus “the teacher appears”. In actuality though, One, only consciousness. So we say things like when the student is ready, the teacher appears. One can always flip the coin though (if one is willing to let go of the currently ‘held’ perspective / need for understanding). So say there is no spiritual master. Kill The Buddha, he begs you to. If that’s too much too soon, say - a spiritual master might not be as I think it to....consider this profound wisdom and “it’s source”... “I'm a man without conviction, a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction. You come and go, you come and go. Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams! ....Didn't hear your wicked words every day and you used to be so sweet, I heard you say that my love was an addiction. When we cling, our love is strong. When you go, you're gone forever. You string along, you string along.”

@Dima logach Consciousness already does not exist as physical. This is just what a loop “says”. There’s no loop though. Picture a swimming pool full of only consciousness. Then within the pool consciousness imagines a person / body / brain. That brain, in & of consciousness / awareness, will see the situation as the consciousness / awareness is it’s. This we call the ‘ego’ (delusion / wrong view). Because the brain claims the consciousness as it’s / or a product / output of the individual brain, what is missed is that the brain is just consciousness, as is all the pool, and all there is is pool. A quest is a loop, but the loop too is consciousness. The pool is itself the ‘right view’, so it see’s no thing.

Merely seen through, that’s all.

@Truth Addict ? (The tongue can not taste itself, the Tao can not be spoken)

@Truth Addict That’s wonderful. I’d add that while it seems silence is the absence of the sound of a spoken “X”, truly all sounds arise within the silence (you). And so “you”, can never be said, and the sound is secondary, or, always of the silence - though the sound appears not to be silence.

@Arhattobe Imo, that is a very good explanation of something impossible to explain. The explanation itself can not cross ‘from an 8 to a 4’ “barrior”, so to speak. Very nice! If it could, all would be lost; arts, sciences, etc. So it is, experience only for experience is revealed. Even, and imo especially, the “1 - 10” experience of itself.

@Truth Addict Impossible! We’re you too.

@Ria It’s always up to you. And I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. Maybe you have more of a how question about something?

@Faceless ?? @Truth Addict The dream and machine terminology was as much a play on the op as it is true or not true (lighten up ☺️). No one can tell you what you are, we can only help you with what you are not. When you are what you are, then we are not. You were just dreaming us.

@Truth Addict You.

You didn’t hear that from me though.

Nothing can do everything, and nothing, and neither. The dream machine is not the ultimate Truth because it Is.

@oMarcos The dream machine dreams thought machines, one is asking about the dream machine now.

@Deano That’s pretty astute. They also use the hand held things (EMDR?) to detect psychology behind the slightest tensions.
