  1. @Andrey “Well-reasoned” ....... “well conditioned” or acceptable & agreeable to society? Could you be more well-reasoned than for your real-I-zation to transcend reason? Consider the possibility that people are not intelligent and reasonable, but rather brains are filters of infinite intelligence, as a means which makes possible ‘your’ human experience, by convincing yourself of the possession of intelligence. What’s “reasonable”, anyways? Isn’t that opinion? If you really look, aren’t you just as unreasonable as reasonable?
  2. @tentacion Execellent! Funny how nobody bats an eye if you talk about the unknown unseeable force which holds the whole experience together with absolute perfection, as long as you use the word gravity.
  3. @Scholar Take the Joy that we are, fragment it, diminish it, add overeating, unhealthy food, an ego based society, over stimulation, over thinking, over competing, addictions, denial, and some blame, and it’s suffering.
  4. @ajasatya I hear ya. @AMS Take a look at spiral dynamics. Interest in this topic might be green callin ya in. ? Veganism and vegetarianism were very foreign to me at one time, but I tried it and the difference, ime, in clarity, energy, sesitivity, and overall health really can’t be expressed. It’s so worth trying out.
  5. @kieranperez ?? Happy for ya! You can do anything you set your mind to, and I know you have the stamina & endurance, no doubt there.
  6. @Ook Infinity is infinity (awareness). There isn’t infinity #1, aware of infinity #2, nor Infinity aware of a “you”, you’re already it. Thought is the veil. You can’t comprehend “why”, cognitively, but you can know. It’s better to exhaust thought, with self inquiry - to “empty the cup”, and or meditate into samadhi. “Why am i not aware of myself at all?” Because you’re only aware of yourself, there isn’t anything other than you to be aware of, if there was, you’d know something about yourself instantly, by comparison. It’s the obviousness that makes it difficult to see.
  7. Q: What is love and truth? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: “There is a strange relationship between love and truth? If there is a competition between love and truth, it is the love that will win. It is the fear of losing love that makes someone tell lies to the most loved ones. They are afraid of losing their love if they tell the truth. So which is powerful? Love is powerful. And it should be that way. What is love? If you have not known, there is no way you will know. Even a single creature on this planet cannot say that it doesn’t know love. Because that is our second experience. Our first experience was pain. The first nine months were easy, we were fed for 9 months in a comfortable warm environment. Then suddenly you have to come through a narrow passage which was so painful, with your head getting stuck. It was very painful experience. They cry because of this pain. A baby makes so many funny gestures and faces the first few days, because they did such a great job of getting out like moving a mountain. After the pain, they look into the mother’s face and catch the love of the mother. They realize that they are love, and know that there is nothing but love. By the age of three they start to forget. That is when the intellect starts to form, asking 101 questions. They keep asking questions. Half the time they don’t even listen to the answers. So what is truth? This is the most mature question. You can know love but you cannot tell the truth. Truth is that which is unaffected by time. With this definition, all that you see is not truth, isn’t it? This building is not the truth. It didn’t exist in the past and it may not exit in the future. Same for the body. It was not there in the past and will not be there in future. Everything that is changing is not true. That which is true is not affected by time. Truth is that that existed, that exists and that will exist. The spirit of inquiry into what is that which is not affected by time, leads you to one substance that doesn’t change at all.”
  8. @Sbilko Thought is one thing happening in the big bubble your body and brain are happening in. Thought makes distinctions; tree, cloud, thought, finger, sky, sun. These things appear separate, but they are all consciousnesness / awareness. The bubble is the knower, the awareness. The ‘things’ in the bubble don’t actually split up or divide the bubble. The bubble is like the light in the refrigerator, you can never tell it’s off, cause if you look, it’s on. If you could ‘see in the fridge’ without looking, or ‘when the light is off’, you’d see infinity, or superposition. Awareness is the looker, and the light, and the infinity (in this sub par analogy). When thought is accepted and allowed, thought is seen as like any other thing in the big bubble (all that is in your awareness). Then awareness stops believing thoughts. Then awareness is aware of awareness. Then thought has been exited, and there is a knowing. The knower, is realized to be the known. Being, love, awareness, consciousness, me, you, etc, all the same. You can’t believe the truth, because it’s not believable (thought). But without thought, without the acquired habit / conditioning of thought, what’s not true is no longer believable. Thinking about this, is like looking in the fridge over and over and saying, “see! Told ya”. Meditation, yoga, reiki, meditative nature walks, retreats, psychadelics, nondual theory...these are not more thinking. These are un-thinking. You can’t just think about them, you must do them. Thought will make 1000 attempts to trick you into not doing them. But if you do them anyways, you will know. ❤️ Thought = Resistance. Resistance is found nowhere, but in thoughts.
  9. @pluto All the words like one, nondual, awakening, are so interchangeable, communucation falls apart. People have a realization of the oneness of all that is, and say “I am enlightened”, but “I” is still the ‘realizer’, an ego, so what was realized is the oneness of “an outside world”. When that “I” facade is realized, so is that there is no enlightenment. No?
  10. @SoonHei ?Till then, just have fun. Have fun discovering your truth. Have fun afterwards too. World needs a Matt Kahn of ‘fun’.
  11. @SoonHei Just keep it as simple as your own experience. Read your op through a filter of, is this my direct experience, or a thought?
  12. @SoonHei Brain doesn’t do infinite very well, though it is. The heart only does infinite. Just sit for a bit, pose a cognitive question, recieve the feeling answer.
  13. @Hamilcar Well what would be the point then really.
  14. @Roman Edouard Why do you want to do any of this for yourself?
