Nahm

@metwinn We see one facet of God, and believe it is the entirety.

@SoonHei Very nice. Yes...the light...heck of a clue for awakening...”Godspeed”. Einstein...I’m speculating...but maybe he was wise enough to be whysical & carefree. To sit and contemplate, ime, is quite useful....but for insights...they come while I’m driving & singing, playing in the sprinkler with my kids, entertained by a movie, etc. If you haven’t looked into entanglement, you’d probably like it. @cirkussmile ??...also, both ?❤️. @Victor Mgazi God is the space too, nothing is bound...as Nothing is infinite. God is all that does exist.

@Bernard Me freakin too brother. It’s the past though. I remember a very specific trip in which the love was pressing upon the identity, and it was getting a little rough if you know what I mean, downright gripping, and then the insight / release hit me. I was thinking....if I’m everything, like the Buddha says, then why in the F would I have had that happen to me?!? And it hit me.....That shit that happened to “me”, and the two weeks spent in the hospital recovering from it....that was when I identified the event / incident, with what I am. I’d been identifying with it ever since, for many years. Holding that incident by identifying with it had shaped my attitude unbeknownst to me. I realized what Letting Go is in that moment. I realized I am stronger for it having happened. Letting Go is an art worthwhile of mastery. It is liberation. That is a brilliant insight right there. This entire human experience hinges on forgetting. This is evidence You are remembering now. ❤️

When “ I “ or “me” is used & referred to here ^ , it is a thought of an I or me, it is not the actual Self. Maybe read this (below) and then read what you wrote (above), keeping the a priori “ I “ in mind... The a priori “ I “ ... a pri·o·ri Relating to or denoting reasoning or knowledge that proceeds from theoretical deduction rather than from observation or experience. As in, there is an “ I “ which the brain has constructed (an ego), it’s a group of memories & thoughts, it is theoretical, not actual. Thought is a circle jerk three cups and a peanut game, but there is no peanut. There is no end to the brain’s thinking, when the a priori “ I “ is allowed. The root of every thought must be identified / made aware of.

@Dino D “Empty your cup”, or say “Now is the beginning of self inquiry”. Start with all of those. When did I learn / adopt my beliefs? Did I read them? Was I raised being told them? The difference between belief & Truth, is that one of them is the Truth. I hope this doesn’t appear as argumentative.....that ^ is the actuality, the real eternal you. So maybe instead of remembering a state, the actuality is already the “floor” upon which sits thinking, surviving, desire, concern, (acceptable human selfishness) etc. Not egotistical personal selfishness, but rather who could blame you cause you have to survive in this world and therein people develop a relative perspective, seeing all things with meaning & value relative to their person kind-of-selfishness. Self inquiry like “Why in the fuck do I keep doing A, B & C?!” reveals, “transcends”, liberates. There’s going to be some scenes of fear, but upon going straight through it, the illusion is revealed / the Self is realized. And then it is VERY funny. Awareness alone is curative. Being aware of my whys is enough. The variable is how many times does life (which is actually me) have to kick me in the balls until I self inquire? For me, it was around two thousand lol. @Mikael89 nice!

@Dino D You should definitly not believe me. You shouldn’t be asking these questions to anyone. You should be self inquiring.

Precisely.

@Dino D I’m still an owl. Your accusations & pictures are mere proof. ........”who”? ? ??

❤️

@Dino D “Proof” is looking at the bowl and saying it’s a bowl. I’m a freakin owl Dino. Now prove to me I am not an owl? There is no need for existential thinking or fear. It is enough to be genuinely curious. To inquire and wonder. Just to look around you right now and be sufficiently suspicious that the appearance of reality, is a little fishy.

@Dino D Exactly. You got it. The fish says “how do I make sense of everything?”. The water, fish & bowl are thought, reason, logic. The bowl is the veil. (Ego, ignorance) Outside the bowl is the infinite, and the fish, water & bowl are too. But the fish says “That doesn’t make sense of everything, to a fish”. And infinite says nothing, to no one. But this fish persists. This fish is done with fear.

@Bernard Godspeed my friend. Keep looking, keep inquiring. You will find the strength & the Love in you. You will find the inspiration.

@Dino D Take away the “you” which all of that is relative to and it makes perfect sense, as there’s no you trying to make it make sense.

The Cosmic Joke.

That’s the attitude! Maybe death is ‘bad’ is nothing more than a belief! Self inquire...what is an a priori “I”? What is even meant by “I”? Been sayin it your whole life. Stop and contemplate what it is... and is it which says “I”, and refers to an “I”? In all seriousness, self inquiry is fun, exciting even. Don’t ever believe the gloom & doomers, that’s maya. @Key Elements I think I hear ya now. There’s been no service to anyone in this life, and yet, this entire life has been in service to ‘guests’. Ego is “escapable”, but there’s no escaping love. Not that one would want too. Service is great fortune. ❤️

Glass houses brother.

@Key Elements I don’t see the paradox.

Envy feels false. Doesn’t it, just simple put, feel false? Feels inhibitive right? Why? @SoonHei Orders of magnitude....remember that one pebble by the tree that you walked by 6 years ago? ... See how not-at-all-relative that pebble is to you right now? That’s your life to the magnitude of infinite. It’s not that it’s only a tiny bit relative, it’s that there is no relativity...it didn’t even happen, and You are perfectly at peace and complete. Like a movie happens on a screen, but really the movie isn’t happening....light from the projector appears as a movie happening on the screen, but you know it’s just light. Look around you right now, that’s “light” appearing as reality. That is one heck of a projector.

It’s awareness. Relative to homeostasis - hyperawareness - of “this human” “this body” “this mind”. That awareness can go all the way to the source. During the hyperawareness the ego is freaking out. Beyond it, just the ineffable.

If there is a ‘you’, and a ‘movie / doing’, there is meaning (relativity / maya), but meaning is movie stuff, not screen stuff (consciousness). Screen stuff is ineffably meaningless because it’s infinite, but not what the brain thinks meaningless means, because that is meaning (relativity). Your inquiry draws out the value of direct experience, but if you’re reading this and thinking about what I’m saying, that value is a thought and not what I’m wishing I could actually convey, if I were a who. ❤️

It’s a dream. There isn’t a timeline.

17/18.

The present is just an appearance. ? The tree is the seed, the seed is the tree, both are nothing. ❤️ You’d have to be very intelligent to pull that off.

@Quanty Hey! I’m reliable. Lol

@Revolutionary Think Right on man. Let em be past traumas and angers. You learned. You’re the better for it now. Now you get to have fun. I started with a job counting empty bottle returns, and separating them into bins to be returned to each company. Those bottles all still had beer residue in them and so did most of the customers. I flipped those empties over my shoulders & into the bins like Tom freakin Cruise in Cocktail. $3.35 an hour. I loved it. Got a second job too (paper route), subcontracted it to another kid. I was 13 and I needed to buy clothes. Attitude is everything.
