@outlandish Nice.

@Aquarius Thank you.

(thought of amen)

@Ria Whatever you make it.

@Arhattobe The man who thinks nonduality means other than not two, and thinks infinity doesn’t include everything. Any SAND conference would do, it was a joke. Maybe you could grab that market share Bill Hicks left open.

No! You’re not in any states. You’re the I, the constant which is aware of experiences, states, etc. The states come and go, you were always you. Same you now.

You should take this act on the road. Intermission at the next SAND conference at the least. Thanks for that man. ??

@Aakash By “realize” you mean be in a different state? I is aware of that thought. Same I is aware of that state. Same I is aware of realizations. I never changes. You may not have noticed everyone is calling themselves by the same name. It might be more obvious now.

@Faye Got the chills too. Good for you. ♥️

If everything is predetermined, then why ask this question? Whatever answers you get, you will not be able to choose to do anything with, since you can’t make a choice. Do you have any questions at all, really, if everything is predetermined?

(“Awakening...How Do You Keep Hold Of It”) No! “Keeping hold” of “it” or anything, is how you get sucked back into the maya. “IT” is a thought! When you meditate and find the stillness - how did you ‘get to’ the stillness?! By letting everything go, so you can “meditate”. So awareness is needed on each occurrence in which you leave “letting go” by believing (identifying with) a thought. You can’t “hold on” to anything, that’s how you “hold on to it”. Scrutinize the feelings which each thought arises from.

If that’s not Infinite Humor.... @Serotoninluv “Post-egoic”. So simple & useful. Nice! @Toby Oh, then your comparison between kundalini & enlightenment was really the comparison of direct kundalini experience, and a thought about enlightenment?

@Tony 845 Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize you were enlightened.

@Tony 845 Want to break where you’re at down a little for some understanding? It’s like you’re saying kundalini is a 10, enlightenment 0, but you’re reluctant to explain exactly what either are.

Have you really realized that letting thoughts go is how new perspectives which feel good & serve you can arise? Do you trust that’s how ‘it works’?Sounds like you’re aware of that when meditating but are not noticing how you get ‘sucked into’ perspectives which don’t serve you when you’re off the cushion.

God Love is unconditional, for everyone. Bad & good are your opinion, everybody has an opinion - there is no ultimate authority on bad or good. Eventually you’ll see there is no bad or good, just opinion. And the author of that ‘abomination’ line from the Bible, imo, was probably gay and suppressing his sexuality & emotions. You be you. Every person you run into will have their own opinions and views on what is bad or good. Love yourself & do your best not to judge people, and you will live in love, without judgement.

@tashawoodfall Something’s way off here. Why is there communication with his wife instead of him? Maybe you’re thinking, because she did it. Still, why would you ‘confront’, or be talking to her at all? Why aren’t you talking to him?

Only from the perspective which has a priori distinctions. What is non-enlightening-experience? What is not-God? What is without-deeply-significant? What is not-illusion? What is without-fundamental?

@electroBeam Agreed. One can know what gravity is.

No matter how great, the surrender ultimately needs also the inquiry. No matter how great, the inquiry ultimately needs also the surrender. If you ask illusion what to do with illusion, it can only illude you, no matter the intention prior to it.

No, “ I “ can’t explain it to “you” to a “satisfying” or “graspable” degree. The satisfaction is relative, and that’s precisely what’s so funny. We can laugh together though. Which would you rather experience, really? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CwzQJdvFMeI If there is desire for things, get and or create, things. There will be the illusion of satisfaction, yet still desire. If there is desire for love, love. There will be the illusion of satisfaction, yet still desire. If there is desire still, it is to know the Self, so know the self, and find it is = to knowing the Self. If there is desire still, it is to understand the Self.... but “what a man can do, he must do”....includes Mu! So the best explanation / answer to “Why?”.... is to Be-Cause - there’s no knowledge, there is being. The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. What is sought to be understood is what seeks to understand, and the funniest thing about Robert Frost is that he is me.

Value the architect building skyscrapers above “my” complete & full enlightenment. It reveals value projection, on enlightenment, but there’s no such thing as enlightenment, and value is a thought. ”Quality of life”, is relativity / relative. Then factor in one who is well aware of this comes accross someone who is suicidal, and so they tell a story about how “you’d just be starting over”, or “you lived many lives to get to this point, keep going!”. It’s just hard to spot a story in a story. “Understanding” = Infinite Humor, like a punchline “needs” the setup. Without “understanding”, there is no inner & outer world, only crystalline emptiness, thoughtless and without movement.

@LoveandPurpose Wether you nail it or fumble, is not the point. Enjoying it, is the point. But...potential for embarrassment, right? So, take a good look at what embarrassment is and let me know if it helped. ?

You can know being, by not knowing a thing. You can love being, by not loving a thing. You can understand being, by not understanding a thing.
