  1. @kieranperez Sensation arises, thought tricks us, stay with the sensation, see what it is. Don’t believe the thought, and settle for it, or you are tricked again. Notice where love is - ever experienced it anywhere, but in yourself? No. (See how sneaky thought is?) Seeing Yourself With Love Practicing Seeing Yourself with Love can help shift your perspective to see the good qualities within you that others see every day. Through this practice, you can begin to reclaim and embrace the good that you have overlooked, and see how lovable you really are. Imagine seeing yourself and good qualities through the eyes of someone who loves you. Then, come back to your own perspective and notice how it feels to possess these qualities. Long Version · Choose someone in your life who truly loves you. o If you have trouble thinking of someone, try choosing a person that you knew previously or briefly who made you feel “seen” and accepted. Or, try choosing a pet. · Now, imagine you and this person sitting across from each other beholding one another. · Begin to see yourself through this person’s eyes, focusing on the good qualities he or she sees in you, and this person’s love for you. · Ask yourself, “Why does this person love me? What does he/she see?” · Go slowly with this exercise until you can really see and feel what this person sees and feels for you. · When you are ready, come back to yourself and notice how it feels to possess these good qualities. · Really take in the good of this experience, savoring the love, worthiness, and good that exist within you. · If you wish, write down these good qualities and read them daily to remind yourself of them. This method was adapted from a practice created by James Baraz in his book Awakening Joy.

  2. @EmendareIgni Great post! I think you are wiser than you realize.
  3. Don’t you see we are saying the same? Coral is not in duality of identity silly head. When have you ever experienced verbalizing such things as “them being closed minded”, without soon discovering nonduality again? Who are them, Robert?
  4. @Sven What led to asking? Just curious and wasting your time? What’s your answer?
  5. @Rachityczny It’s beautiful. You can do anything you truly put your mind to. Nice ass. Really nice.
  6. @ULFBERHT YES! It’s not only possible, it’s actual, it’s being. https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/19223-the-work-of-byron-katie-turning-this-world-into-heaven/#comment-202920 https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/7587-list-of-enlightenment-exercises/ https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/12385-how-i-became-enlightened-fast-and-how-you-can-do-it-to/?do=findComment&comment=128838 https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/4902-awakening-practical-toolkit/
  7. @kieranperez How should it be?
  8. “ Stop. Talking. “ & “I think it'd be a cool idea to use the socratic method, in other words, never introduce any concept or any belief or anything by yourself, but just ask questions, with the only instruction being that he should only focus on his direct experience” @beaucoup Nice. This works. It’s very common for someone to resort to anything not to stay to their own direct experience.
  9. An understanding of nonduality is not nonduality, it’s a filter on duality, resulting in confusion. An idea of infinity, or death, is not infinity, or, “death”. Help people understand the self imposed nature of suffering, consciousness is not an identity in dualism, it’s all there is.
  10. @Aakash Vijayan
  11. This seems to be the a priori thorn. Have you experienced otherwise, yet?
  12. Good luck. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eHiH1NytwjM
  13. @bejapuskas Nobody’s eating anything for you.
  14. @Baotrader Yes. It’s kind of up to you if it’s ‘painful or interesting’. Was that part of the cammode awakening? The groundlessness?
