He talks about food a little here, and the video is pretty entertaining as well. Consciousness / enlightenment, Imo, starts with food.

@NoSelfSelf You’re trying to find your authentic body...?

@Pamela Zamora Yeah but keep projection in mind, and the dualistic nature of the illusion, in the sense, the opposite of everything you said is equally ‘true’, but you’ll have to go full circle to be able to see this.

@NoSelfSelf Observer mode, by not expressing & vocalizing what arises, you’re positioned to observe your reactions, and their roots, and free yourself. Below the reactions, behind the judgements, under the distinctions, is an unfathomable unconditional indiscriminate infinite love, and it’s you, and it’s real.

Maybe those aren’t so different. Maybe it’s you. ❤️

You sure about that? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc

@Gligorije Today is always the best, as it’s the only day we’ll ever get. ??

There is no thing & no one which can not be reduced and revealed to be total bullshit. Maybe Sahdguru represents acceptance of this in self, an opportunity to know the self deeper. Don’t take my word for it though, I’m full of shit too.

@kieranperez Great realization man. ❤️ Wish you the best with mum. In a fun sense, listen to her imagining you actually created her - a lot of resistence from your past relationship can just melt away with that perspective, ego & any issues in the relationship revealed as conditioning. A deep insight of how she truly did her best arises. We’re all really just doing our best, and it’s so much easier in surrendering the past.

Try recontextualizing sin, as speaking and thinking against self, and all is self.

@Durka_Durka ❤️

@Steph30 From that expressed perspective, you are not the dream - so why can’t that you do anything he can think of - because that you doesn’t exist, that you is dream stuff, and all your thoughts are dream stuff. The dream is so convincing, that the real You (consciousness) has tricked itself into identifying as the dream you, quite intentionally. But you are the dreamer of the entire dream, including the universe, physics, spacetime, The Buddha, and me. So to answer your question about The Buddha, who never existed - you try it. You go ahead and tell someone (the person, the who) they don’t exist, because they are actually God. Go ahead and ‘prove’ it to them. Let us know how it goes. If possible, post a picture of their face right after too. ??

@Revolutionary Think There ya go buddy! So happy to hear!

@Butters Someone who gives you dogma is not enlightened and their focus on them, though they might not realize this. Someone who tells you to do the practices and adopt a healthy lifestyle of well being is interested in helping you. All spirituality is ultimately not it, but it helps get you practicing and living healthy, and it expands your mind so you can realize self.

@SoonHei I think they’d still be ‘in the room’, and it’ll be like a month’s worth of joy packed into an hour.

@Feel Good I will. Thanks. ♥️

@Feel Good Coo. I love renters.

@SFRL He is completely self centered. I felt embarrassed for him watching the video. Consider buying a duplex house, living on one floor and renting out the other. A hypothetical example: House costs $150,000, downpayment 3% & closing costs $7,000, monthly mortgage $700/taxes $250/insurance $50: totaling approx $1,000 / month...rent out one floor for $1,000 / month, and live in the other floor rent free. Go travel all you like, using the money you save from not having to pay rent or a mortgage. If you want to move down the road, rent out the floor you were living in too. Now you have $1,000 / month income, and when the mortgage is paid off, you’d have $2,000 a month income (minus taxes & insurance & occasional repairs). Also, instead of living rent free, you could pay off the mortgage sooner. Housing is a pretty sound investment because even if the market fluctuates like in 2008, bodies need places to live all the same, and rent doesn’t fluctuate with the market. As far as accumulating equity, someone would have only lost money if they sold their house around 2008-2011 in the last 50 years.

@Timotheus Yeah. Wtf? ?

Excellent attitude with the fear & the onset / come up of the trip. You are absolutely correct that there is nothing to fear. There is a threshold that a psychedelic ‘pushes’ you through - out of egotown / whoville and into nondualtown / Youville. Sounds like you experienced the threshold but didn’t break through. It could be too low of an amount. It could also be that you need to get some more theory and or practice under your belt. I would also consider this.... Consdider making a strict distinction between those two. Conceptual being nothing more than thinking, and reserve “realized” for beyond what can be thought’ - for when your very reality has changed (real-ized), which you might say later becomes Real - I - zed.

@Pamela Zamora Can you elaborate your question a little more? ?

@TheSomeBody You have to find what works for you, so trying multiple practices / approaches is pretty wise. Most egos refuse to allocate that kind of time, and most minds are too closed to even consider it.

Create something, like a song, drawing or painting, or pottery, etc. If you have a kid handy, ask them to finger paint love. I think your teacher would be happy to see you value creating. Also, maybe make a donation in their name.

Getting to see exactly why everyone loves hide & seek, and playing pretend. ??
