  1. “They will tell you you can’t sleep alone in a strange place. Then they tell you you can’t sleep with somebody else. But sooner or later you sleep in your own space. Either way, it’s ok, you wake up with yourself”. ❤️
  2. @Sockrattes Nothing is real. Yes. Yes. @Joseph Maynor Clear, beautiful and elegant. Truly a joy to read. Thank you Jo.
  3. You could be an outstanding life coach. Maybe the right question at the right time is more of an art, than a manipulation. Maybe you are creating the moment. Maybe there are no sheep, really. Just people who have not been yet seen, and have not yet seen themselves, as lions.
  4. @zoey101 So beautiful!
  5. @Wisebaxter Great post! I agree, even to the extent all of reality is a metaphor for nature and essence of reality. “Wisdom” is everywhere, even pop: ”I am whatever you say I am, if I wasn’t then why would I say I am?” The Plight & The Fear “Sometimes I get upset 'cause I ain't blew up yet It's like I grew up, but I ain't grow me two nuts yet Don't got a rep, my step Don't got enough pep The pressure's too much, man I'm just tryin' to do what's best So I try Sit alone and I cry Yo I won't tell no lie Not a moment goes by The Surrender That I don't pray to the sky Please, I'm beggin' you God Please don't let me be pigeon holed in no regular job” The Value of Direct Experience ”You gotta live it to feel it You didn't, you wouldn't get it” Identifying The Traps “Tripping in the world could be dangerous Everybody circling, it's vulturous Negative, nepotist” Doing The Deconstruction Work Whip, whip Run me like a racehorse Pull me like a ripcord Break me down and build me up I wanna be the slip, slip Word upon your lip, lip Letter that you rip, rip Break me down and build me up Hypocritical, egotistical Don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical Discovery of Authenticism Working onto something that I'm proud of, out of the box An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost Realization of No Self , Maya, and The Paradox I'm an apostrophe I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see I'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe And yet a masterpiece, and yet I'm half-diseased And when I am deceased At least I go down to the grave and die happily Leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee Break me down and build me up The Unification Through Acceptance of The Paradox Over time, I've been building My castle of love Just for two, though you never Knew you were my reason I've gone much too far For you now to say That I've got to throw my castle away Over dreams, I have picked out A perfect come true Though you never knew it was Of you I've been dreaming The sandman has come from too far away For you to say come back some other day And though you don't believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over love, over me Over heart, I have painfully Turned every stone Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover I've come much too far for me now to find The love that I sought can never be mine And though you don't believe that they do They do come true For did my dreams Come true when I looked at you And maybe too, if you would believe You too might be Overjoyed, over love, over me And though the odds say improbable What do they know For in romance All true love needs is a chance And maybe with a chance you will find You too like I Overjoyed, over love, over you, Over you
  6. @tashawoodfall Discover by creating, and therefore connecting, to your higher consciousness, through creativity and developing yourself. Get an instrument and learn to play it. I’m bias to guitar and singing, as it is a plethora of spiritual practices rolled into a fun creative activity. You’ll develop concentration, determination, perseverance, focus,...and if you stick with it, just an hour a day-ish, you’ll tap into another level of concentration, flow, and zone. Not to mention it is a fun releasing & relaxing way to develop all the muscles involved in breath control (similar to meditation & yoga but combined and fun). Also, this opens a new higher conscious socialbility with other musicians & performances, building confidence, extroversion, and a new level of unity with others. These benefits of this creative development naturally enhance all other areas of your life, simultaneously deepening your spirituality, resulting in a deeper, richer and more profound, now, and it all goes with you everywhere you ‘go’. On a personal note, this reminds me of a time that after I had been playing out for a decade or so, someone asked me while in between sets -“How do you not care what you’re face looks like, while you’re singing?” It blew my mind because it reminded me I was once in that same self conscious place, and it really drove home how much playing guitar & singing had given me, what a blessing in disguise it is, especially in that I feel I was born an introvert. *Most people don’t think they can sing well, because they try it, and don’t learn how. Everybody can sing well, just like everyone can meditate. It’s a practice. Anything creative, even sketching, or painting a picture, wood carving, sculpting clay, (anything creative) regardless of level of “talent”, is creating. The pertinent factor to your expansion of consciousness is that you are doing it, not ‘how good you are at it’. Over time, this is deeply connective to “The Creator”, and bestows a very strong genuine real sense of your Being.
  7. @Joseph Maynor@Feel Good Haven’t read any of this, but learning a lot here, and just wanted to say thank you to you guys. I hope you have a great day!
  8. Y’all keep underestimating Leo. Expecting him to be other than maya, other than you.
  9. @brugluiz This was a big problem for me years ago, laid up maybe 10 days / year, couldn’t walk, intense pain. Sugar & carbonation free diet, that backwards kick exercise motion (I’m sure they told you) cured it in about a month - 2. Never came back. In hindsight, I was working out nearly every other muscle, and the area I wasn’t, gave out. Sugar & carbs were causing inflamation, etc. Switching to raw foods, plant based (95%) probably had a lot to do with it too. Good luck man!
  10. @Jack River Action is multiplicity, like experience. Sweet. Have fun! ? ?
  11. @Jack River There isn’t freedom or fear. I’m alone. Perhaps more literally than communicable. Which is funny.
  12. @Jack River Well, nondually, I mean, and I am, whatever you think I mean, and I am.
  13. Somebody’s going to have to define enlightenment, and nonduality, objectively first. ?
  14. @MiracleMan It’s a thought. There is nobody here dude. Nobody present. Look, point to time. Look, point to a “you”, point to a “me”. Then contemplate, what the hell is the pointing? Who’s pointing, at what, at who? Belief / Thought: I’m a human being, amoung human beings, born and dies, linear time. Direct Experience: Miracle, veiled with time, identity, belief in thoughts. ❤️ There is no such thing as identity, sans a thought in a dream.
  15. @Athena Ashrams, monasteries, retreat centers, meditation and well being oriented rehab centers, temples. Show us why they exist. Demystify this.
