@Spinoza Everything is literally you. Yes, you. Not the best version of you, or a potential future you, or a more loving you - just you , sitting there, now - that you. The regular you. Lol. The you that you’ve been calling “me”. This includes your spirit, your soul, your ego, your person, your words, your brain, your emotion, your imagination, your thoughts, all that you hear, see, smell, taste, touch - EVERYTHING, is you. You are not real, nor unreal. You do not exist, nor are you nonexistent. The “things” you see in the “world” are not real, nor unreal. They do not exist, nor are they nonexistent. Those are referred to as dualities (thinking), pointing to the truth of One - YOU! That thinking, is also You. You can believe everything is not you, and that belief is also you. Synonyms for You: me, him, her, it, God, Nothing, YHWH, Everything, Source, lamp, Satan, The limitless One, table, The all that is, Allah, Yahweh, The Devil, The King of Kings, flower, The Light, The Love, Lord of Lords, ABBA, Elohim, clouds, El-Shaddai, Jehovah, water, Adonai, I am, frogs, Advaita, Brahman, poop & The Tao. All those names are your name. They are just words you say to you. Of course, the Truth is not believable. But that “problem” is also You. People generally misunderstand the term Oneness, as in “He became One with everything”. A more accurate wording is, “Holy shit! It’s all me”. If all things seem like ‘not you’, then it is appropriate to refer to all things as illusionary, as an illusion is transpiring in appearance. The deep inherent “problem”, is to even use a single word, or say “It’s all One”, implies duality. The one telling the truth, is you. The one lying about the truth, is you. The fearless one, is you. The one who is scared, is you. The depressed one, is you. The free one, is you. Say “nonduality”, and it is not nonduality.

@bslpiontds Sit with fear to see what it really is, or be afraid forever.

@Slade How could you know for yourself? If you want to know about playing the piano, go ask someone who has never played a piano, but nonetheless has a strong opinion on it. Someone who assumes and speculates would be ideal as a resource for you. Makes sense, right? Of course not.

@Faceless ♥️??

@Faceless ❤️ Who do you think you’re talking to?

Self inquiry must go much much deeper than that though?..One has to go into the nature of thought, ego, time, psychological becoming, fragmentation, nature of realtiy, actuality, truth... nature of fear, conflict, and division and more For sure ❤️. That’s a great recipe to no self, empty cup. Then the real work can start.

@TruthSeeker47 There is no assertion. This is self inquiry.

Don’t bother.

@abrakamowse ❤️

@Jed Vassallo What do you mean when you say nothing? What was your direct experience of nothing like?

@Sukhpaal Codependent need vs independent wanting & giving.

So true man.

Actual honesty & compassion.

@DavidBorja Critically important topic. Lives are spent criticizing as a means to never start anything, unknown to the critic. I feel compassion for the reductionists, reducing everything, never adding never creating, never living.

@Neph There is an actual test for this. If you think your body is unholy, then you think your body is unholy. It works the opposite way too. If you think your body is holy, then you think your body is unholy. Or you could implement honesty, that if you believe God is judging anything, you haven’t experienced God, so you can identify the belief and acknowledge it as, a belief. And let it go. Do you think “God made you” just to judge what he made? Come on. It doesn’t even make sense. It’s ok, and therapeutic, to laugh about it. I’ll go first.

@Sahil Pandit Start a new charity drive, “Stop running and Start Actually Running!” Or get “Trackualized!” or something more catchy and clever. Raise awareness raising money helping people while raising money raising awareness. You can work the details out.

@egoless Hell to the f ya bro. Do it all. I relate.

I had major anger issues. Grew up in an angry household and didn’t really realize it wasn’t normal. I was introverted too, so I became manic depressive. Therapy & medications didn’t work, side effects made life worst. Meditation & a few trips more than cured me. What I realized is, it was me (completely me) the whole time. Anger’s weird that way, cause I thought it was who / what I was mad at. Felt logical & justified. I was the unhappy one with the anger though. Seems obvious now. Hope that share helps. Anger sucks ass man. “Anger is like holding a hot coal and expecting another to be burned” - Buddha (or some guy on the internet)

The difference is inspiration, what one actually wants to do.

He hasn’t tried psychedelics. (Jed)

@Spiral what do you want? and tell me about the last time you did something that was uncomfortable for you, Not as in me, as in outside of your comfort zone.

@Spiral woah slow down. Start by caring about people. Discover love and compassion. I don’t think you’ve been uncomfortable yet.

@TruthSeeker47 Ya fizzled out.

@Spiral @Timotheus I love you! Fyi, for me, it was conflation.
