Nahm

You side stepped the question. Fine by me. ? It might be a good inquiry though.

@DoubleYou Absolutely! It’s still ‘in play’ LMAO.

Everything changes. Nothing never changed at all. Everything is Nothing. “Experience” is linguistic, duality, communicational, like “I”, it’s not really a separation of any sort in actuality. If there is experience, there is other. WIthout ‘actuality of experience’, there’s only Hamilcar = Consciousness. It’s the classic Finkle is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkle, situation. ?

@DoubleYou Dude, wife & I been laughin for an hour on “The Mushroom Secret”. Thanks!!!! Fantastic report btw!! ❤️

Because there is only experience of awareness creating dream. This other “thing”, is a thought, in the expereince, of awareness creating dream.

@DoubleYou Namaste ??

@Artaemis Thought, duality, an “I”, now “is the experiencer” of the pain - the “I” who imposes a desired scenario, simultaneously screening what is now. Pain is a sensation in awareness, the “I” story added is suffering (denying what is / “out of the now, or actuality of the ‘situation’” lol.

@Tom T Awesome. @Serotoninluv Awesome. @Leo Gura Awesome. Infinite thank you’s ?? @Rinne Awesome. @Joseph Maynor Awesome. @thehero Awesome.

Some more to consider...there are people born unable to feel any pain, and people born dispositioned to deriving pleasure from giving or receiving pain, and people born predispositioned to achieving sexual satisfaction through giving or receiving pain. Someone could certainly be born with a more typical pain sesitivity level who awakens to such a degree as to entirely transcend it, but you can’t know if they did this, or were born that way, or if it developed at a certain age on it’s own accord, or if they even actually understand with clarity how they themselves arrived there, or if they are being honest in their communication to you about it, albeit convincing as maya can be, or are not. In a sense, the depth of maya itself has the potential to cross over into being one’s own catalyst of long term pain and or suffering, without suspect. I believe it’s transcendable with practices, but then there’s also a nonacceptance of what is to contend with, which prior to, there was nothing to contend with.

@Scholar In the fragmented or duality / thinking perspective, saying all suffering is self imposed via false understanding is perceived at best as stoic, but typically of course as insensitive, inappropriate, insulting, or even psychopathic, but from the nondual perspective, there is no suffering. Suffering is usually related to the path and all things enlightenment in this way. There is a noteworthy relationship between our experiences of suffering or witnessing of suffering, and the severity of falsity it reinforced, that we need to let go of. It’s possible you have not experienced much or any suffering, and find it hard to see because it’s relatively easier for you to let go.

@Aaron p To be now, being presence / consciousness. Notice how you can remember thoughts & events from when you were a kid, and when you were a teenager. Notice how you can not remember the consciousness you experienced it through, because the consciousness, the now, never moved, never changed. The body & thoughts changed. See that the person and everything around it is moving through you, not you through it.

@Empty Why do you think Allah would do that? As in, what reason would Allah have?

@DecemberFlower Post a picture of the entity. Or maybe it’s just a thought, let it pass if so. Return to your meditation.

Wow. So helpful. Much appreciation to everyone! Guys got me doin some pretty deep divin. ??❤️

@pluto ?

@Mikael89 Keep rockin the path then. The sooner you find that wisdom the better. You’re gonna want as much time left as possible, to love. Godspeed.

@Ingit I say write a book review. ?. (Just plantin a seed there. Lol)

@cirkussmile LMAO.

@Ingit You can become aware of all things, from the room you are sitting in, down to nothing and no things. You can be aware you are behind homeostasis.

Sounds like you’re doing really well and have come quite a way. You’ll be a great doctor. For that sleepiness, consider getting some exercise every morning. Also, try meditation after the exercise, rather than at night, twice a day, or both, would be even better. You might see that the worries & doubts labeled “my” or “mine” or just things passing through. If you attach identity and ownership, they tend to stay. You can experience them fully, as sensation, and see that ‘going in it’ (the sensation), releases it. I think Rumi said “the cure is in the pain” or something close to that.

And how are you liking this life, these choices you’ve made, these days you’re having?

@7thLetter No need to equate spending time with practices, with being socially withdrawn, anymore than choosing between drinking water or urinating. Both is fine, plenty of time for each. You are laying the very groundwork you seek to surrender. Contemplate, where did I pick up this need for people to understand me? Who, in my past, never understood me? When did I put this filter of ‘people don’t understand me’ on? Intellectual stimulation is mental masterbation, self inquiry is in bloom. Both are just fine, but you could use more of the latter, imo. See how you make small talk meaningless, but you value intellectual stimulation - this stands to support your ego, that “you” are an intellectual. But you are so far beyond that. Everone will always be thinking differently than you, can you even imagine a world of 7 billion 7thLetter’s? How boring would that be for you? The uniqueness is the beauty. Furthermore, is that really even your direct experience? - that there are other people, and that they are thinking? Hard to hang with people with diffferent values? Realize the falsity of your own values, you can love everyone, no judgement needed. Don’t box everyone out for your intelligence / ego, bring everyone in for love, for your happiness, for their happiness, and watch your energy go through the roof. Consider all that you expressed in you op is the result of being directionless, or thus far, not having sat down, and written out / drawn / created / manifested / planned - your life. What you want. Where you’re headed. Do this, you’ll see the miracle of sychronicty as all of relativity aligns to your knowing you are a creator of dreams. Everything is already relative to you. You are already the center of the universe. You are free, already. Dream big. You can let go of that. You can see the love, the YOU in people. If you see the dysfunction to the degree it bothers you and you are isolating yourself, consider, that is a dysfunction you created in your perception, and because you added it, you can surrender it. Aren’t you simply perpetuating dysfunction, and blaming others for yours? There is a large amount of judgment and dismissing people going on - it’s simply over thinking, distracting you from this otherwise perfect miracle now. People, society, relationships can’t ‘fix’ this for you. What if right now, everyone understood you, and held your intellectual mastery in the highest regard. You think you’d feel more connected, more love, happier? Or would it only disconnect you more? Learn, develop, of course, just see how it can have nothing to do with anyone else. You developed and created over thinking all on your own, and you can let it go too. This ‘fabric between us’, this ‘objective reality’ is love, and adding anything to it, is counter productive to well being, because it’s false. Your inner compass has never told you otherwise. “2 ears 1 mouth” by design.

@Ingit Describe the “I” involved. Tired & sleepy; How’s the diet? Listening to the conscience / “inner being” in terms of what food to eat, or do you ignore it and go to Taco Bell etc? What does your daily excecise look like? What is normal, but a way you make yourself feel bad, by making comparisons to others or a fictitious “normal” which you have never actually seen, reinforcing your frustrations? Normal is a thought you can surrender. In ages, there are natural developments. No need whatsoever in making life harder by framing ‘normal’ and ‘not normal’. What you want is health, alignment, to feel your best, to be the unique expression you intended to be. Normal can fuck off. You’re already worthy.

@Ingit Can you see recontectualizing “mentally strong” and “negative” as egoic preferences? And “stability”, as without imposing preference, without judgment of what is? What is relapsing, and then, what is coping? Is awareness really involved in these things / thoughts, or merely witnessing and allowing what is? A useful practice might be to, in meditation, pack all that into a solid, dense, metallic ball with your hands, really feel it, smell the metal, etc - then place the ball on a track in front of you, and push it. Hear it rolling away, feel the vibration in the ground as it rolls away...so far away, until it is out of sight, and out of mind.

@Nexeternity Look into CIPA, epigenteics, and mind body interventions. There’s some research out there and some related practices.
