@zoey101 This is good. You’re taking a look. Becoming more aware usually comes with being more aware of some changes you’ve been wanting to make. Maybe you learned to frame things up as good or bad according to what you’ve been told, and it leaves you beating up on yourself for not being ‘good enough’ and seeing yourself through a lens of judgment. Then beating up on yourself for beating up on yourself. There’s a great reason that it doesn’t feel good. Who you really are, will never see without love. So you can choose to if you want to, but at least you understand why it doesn’t feel good, and a little more about the ego. Don’t wait for a reason to love yourself. Love’s far more powerful than reason.

@onacloudynight Planning is planning. You’re adding the stressful color. How did it come about that planning is not enjoyable to you? Planning is something you’re doing now.

@Hsinav Good point man.

@Viking Ya. Like ‘placing the awareness’? Do really slow head to toe wave relaxations.

@Timotheus I’d just be aware of both and keep the long term in mind, seeing how doing one thing can lead to the next if you’re open minded and interested. @Lynnel That’s inevitable.

@zoey101 Agreed.

Don’t. Don’t.

@zoey101 This might be a ‘down the road’ thing for you.

@zoey101 Cool. So pick a specific belief. It sounds like you choosing one is really your first step.

Any and all, making your own distinctions. It’s a process. That’s great stuff right there. Studying ‘reality’ - what is outside you, and also you body, brain & mind...in addition to contemplating questions....are all really self inquiry, but that’s seen later, after the processes. Another way to say what your sister wrote is that all anything is and all anyone wants, is consciousness, even after awakening, though it’s all recontextualized. Then sort of a catch, imo, if she had ample theory, she probably would have had much more of an awakening, than a fleeting glimpse. (Assuming is was fleeting)

Are you wanting to, at some point, discover the truth? (Vs ‘being open to beliefs’)

@zoey101 What is the specific belief? Christianity in it’s entirety in terms of your identity might be too much too soon. If this little convo / exercise is successful, it will only lead to the truth. So whatever that is, that’s what you’ll be left with.

@zoey101ya

@Lynnel Become entirely self reliant, need no financial or emotional assistance from anyone. Then turn your focus away from you, and entirely to what you now have to offer in helping others.

@Delmo Anything inspected enough disappears, even death.

@Igor82 You’re asleep right now, so this is not possible to communicate to you. But a moment will come when you wake up. The theory, then, will play a role in not falling asleep again.

@Igor82 So you don’t go back to sleep when you are enlightened. It’s up to maya how much is enough, until it is up to you. When it’s up to you, that was enough, and there is no such thing as maya, or theory, and there never was.

You’re an illusion, which is actuality infinite nothing. Ego’s don’t like this, so they create thoughts like spirits, reincarnation, gurus, religions, etc. Ego strives to hold on to that falsity of separation at ALL costs. Without ego this is obvious, and hilarious. ❤️

@B_Naz yep!

@electroBeam mic droppin wisdom man. Nice. Can you expect someone who hasn’t partaken in psych’s to relate to ‘no objective reality’ though? I don’t think so. It’s so convincingly real.

When you realize what nonduality is, who would you ask a question to? All knowing = you are already that which you might otherwise consider knowing. It does not mean you’ll have all the knowledge. Just that you’re aware knowledge in total is illusory. There’s no past, future, present. There’s Now (You) , and not in the ‘time’ sense. It is indeed magic (an illusion). The deeper magic, once you know the Now is You, is that you don’t know what happens next. That is an inconceivable magic.

@zoey101 If you care to pick one, I care to help.

yes

@blazed Miserable.

@Chives99 You were asking why. You changed your inquiry to what.
