@AmarSG1 lookin in the wrong place. Look to the practices.

@Freakrik Sorry man, I’m just not inspired to look up the sources you mentioned to get an understanding of this. I appreciate you sharing. Direct experience is always the way to go, so so how this feels when you experience it. Then you’ll know. Maybe you’ll start, and end up laughing about it with your future wife. ❤️

“Considering” and doing meditation & self inquiry - it’s the difference between doing something , creating a life, living, and dwelling / suffering. You’re underestimating and undervaluing your freedom and influence on your reality. It’s a riddle, made by you, that takes years to unravel. It is a miracle in a puzzle in a puzzle in a miracle. You have to increase your very consciousness just to have a 1 in a million shot at a 2 second glimpse. Or you can just skip it and pass on the greatest mystery adventure in th the history of reality it’s self. What was your experience of being born like? What was it like being an animal? What was your experience of death like? Those are beliefs, not your experience. You haven’t scratched the surface yet. You haven’t started yet. Everything you can see and hear right now, that’s all that’s happening. On the other side of your walls, there is superposition / source / whatever word. Suffering is a symptom of a misunderstanding in perception. Your mind is trying to keep track of and account for the suffering of the world, potential nuclear war, what about others, projections of troublesome futures, etc - and it is acutely designed to process “reality” accurately - but reality is only what is within your awareness. That’s it. You only have to focus on and be aware of 1% of what you currently are attempting to be aware of. The videos are great, but their unified message is direct experience & discernment, not thinking about the videos - contemplating all that is you and your immediate environment right now. Without practices, without application of what you’re learning, nothing changes. I don’t mean anything personally, just aiming to appeal to the true you, the one who is asleep. You can do anything you think you can do. Do the practices. Get to a place where you know what you want, and you know you can do it. Death has nothin on that level of living.

@Freakrik I might be wrong, as I don’t know much about pua, but I think you were right when you acknowledged you were following a low conscious path. Would you do that under any other circumstance really? Sex drive is about as tough illusion / awakening wise as pain, but if you’re interested in the long term, follow your highest consciousness paths. Or don’t. Also true, there’s a female or two out there wanting to get picked up. Probably not wanting to be manipulated though. Cuttin people’s heads of is “facinating” too. Real personal growth and compassion for others is also “fascinating”. Just sayin man. What we think, we become. What we feel, we attract. What we imagine, we create. -Buddha (allegedly) Check out epigenetics, and the ability to “switch” genes on & off. Apply that realization to the survival impulse. Transcend it with more awareness & understanding. Do the self work. Females will step right out of the universe for you. Manipulative moves are steps backwards. Hope you don’t take this as judging. Just sharing from experience. Mine is no more valid that yours.

@Tearos Like the word consciousness is used for the human experience, and for the infinite, the term self actualization gets used to imply a descriptive set of skills & milestones/accomplishments in development leading to a self sustained mental equanimity, and it also is used to describe the existential realization of what the self actually is. Either one will retained help with the other, until there is no other.

@Aftermarket Could you add some references/ links regarding the offered content supporting nihilism? Thanks! ?? Or were you referring to posts from members and I’m misunderstanding you? Also, please refrain from directly swearing at people. Thanks again.

@pluto That is the best! ❤️

@Freakrik To each their own I guess. Weird to me. Manipulation in inherently unscrupulous. What about Tinder, etc? Wouln’t That be easier anyway?

@Truth Addict Ha! Just high on nonduality. Thanks!

@Freakrik There is no such thing as “living” or “dead” anything. It’s illusion, an appearance of “alive”. The death of the ego, is the full realization you are the all-that-is. It’s a cosmic joke, you were never alive, and you were never Freakrik. Have you experienced hell? Hitler? Yeah. Me neither. Lol. Have you learned yet, from a very wise teacher, to trust your own direct experience.... yet? ? ❤️

@Freakrik I don’t know man, if it’s hard to use your own words and describe what you’re planning on doing, you probably know you shouldn’t do it. Just breath from your stomach, and talk to girls. Be genuine. Ask em questions. Manipulation is another issue you’ll likely have to do work on yourself down the road for.

@Freakrik I’m completely ignorant to the pua world, so the references to teachers and jargon of the industry are lost on me. If you would, in ordinary language, what is it you are actually planning to do? I am “seeking first to understand”, and I appreciate your help.

@Freakrik Could you share what it is you’re talking about doing?

@Applejuice That’s awesome! Next time, look around and say your goodbye’s first. Appreciate the life, and know it’s time to go. When that state is again, surrender! Just let it go! ❤️ ??

Think about the difference in understanding & meaning between a 10 year old boy, and Hugh Hefner, when they simply hear the word “sex”, as an example. Direct experience is all that matters. (The rest is bullshit, learned & repeated from a teacher or book, and or beliefs). What is the maximum understanding one can reach? The word absolute is used. It leaves no questions. It is, absolute. But of course, this ‘word’ means one thing to someone who has not experienced it, and something completely different (beyond experience - into current identity / Now / nondual “reality”) to another. The word “being” is also of this nature of course. To someone who has not experienced the One Being, the word “being” implys strong nowness / letting go of monkey mind of past / future / etc - as in “just be” or “just being”, “being in the awareness”, like “being present”. To someone who has experienced the One Being, it is a change in identity, which can’t be undone, awareness of what is actually going on here, now, from nothing, to an atom, to the entire cosmos... it has been revealed to them what they actually are, it is blissful, they are not alive, they never die. All worry, doubt and fear are gone, because they have seen exactly how the illusion, and the human being within the illusion, operate. Direct experience! Not learned wisdom, not repeatable one liners from anonymous authors, not “humble” egoic passive aggressive facades - direct experience!Get practicing, or hope you get hit by lightening one day. If you do, hope your ego doesn’t assume “done” mode. That is one of the hardest traps. Being is beyond existence and non existence. Those are human notions based on the duality. The state of samadhi is not Being. (But it’s pretty nice, right!?) It is a state which is in proximity though. Keep that going, and a psychedelic might “pop” a glimpse of Being (perhaps Yoga too, but I wouldn’t know) The practices will really shine, as you’ll integrate that glimpse into regular ol “reality” much more. ❤️❤️❤️ “Consciousness”, imo, is a word not even worth using anymore. It has been used for everything from what Being does / is, to what a brain does. I’d scrap it. Saying things are the way they are, because they are, without directly experiencing Being, is a sneaky way of negating. There is no actual answer in that, though it feels like there is. Don’t settle for such bs just because it feels lovely. Keep going until you actually see the “Why”, and have no questions (existentially). And no, it’s not solipsism. Similar, but again, even just a glimpse will show you the distinction which makes all the difference.

??❤️

@Torkys Very insightful man. ❤️

@Torkys Very insightful man. ❤️

@Freakrik It means direct experience only. If you look to illusion for “why’s”, you get an illusion answer every time. How, which, when, who - these are questions for the illusion.

@Monkey-man I agree on the three, ultimately the realization not of oneness, but of course, of the One. It’s a great post. It breaks my heart a little when someone ‘reaches’ the oneness, and then is “done”. All is well though.

@Monkey-man I hear you, but these are distinctions made, which only serve to imply separation, which is gas on the fire. In actuality, there is no separation at all. It’s just hard to accept things like Hitler, Buddha, Jesus, Monkey-Man and Nahm are the same. See how those words trigger some emotions? Look into those, and that’s where the enlightenment is found. (I assume)

@Monkey-man What would the absolute / God use to make anything? Some boards or something? Some “matter”? ☺️

@IvanV21 Come on man. I mean, you’re making a point to say you’re not attracted to her, and referring to her as your girlfriend. An older woman would see this, but a younger one in this case obviously doesn’t. You’re keepin her round until someone you are attracted to comes about, and asking why it’s causing troubles for you. Just trace these things back to you, and they get pretty clear.

The variety is delicious! Somewhere there is a guy wanting to pick up a chick, and somehwhere there is a chick wanting to be picked up. Somewhere there is a someone wanting to start a family, and a potential partner who wants the same. Somewhere, there is a couple who wants both, and somewhere a couple who wants neither.
