@egoless If I’m hearin ya right, I agree with you. I do think it would be a little more decent if they had more consideration for animals and used fake meats, and if they didn’t use a clown to entice kids to tells their parents they want a happy meal, which comes with a toy for the same reason, and some of their stores have playscapes in them too, for the same reason, and they named them the Golden Arches based on psychology, and if they considered health when choosing the ingredients that’d be nice, no trans fats, etc. All that though, to me, in on the corporation - the marketing. But workers who take pride in their work are the same in my book no matter what the work is. A lot of people with mental and or physical challenges that could be milking the system are instead working at many fast food locations, taking pride in working, and deserve the same respect as the rest of us. I hear you on the “healthy” factor, but their psychological game is 100 psychologists strong. The bigger picture though, in this, is, nothing actually exists beyond our immediate awareness, even in the maya, let alone the reality.

I hear ya. Too simple to let it be simple. lol. I just meant it as the answer to the joke/riddle. But, it seems like a metaphor for making the distinction between experience and thinking too.

@Shin ?

@Shin wow. ?

@WildeChilde (Relative to the journey) I’d tell him eat clean, meditate and exercise every morning. When you’re feeling pretty good most of the time, start with 1g shroom tea and work up monthly until you experience the absolute.

Sorry I wasn’t much help. If you could phrase what you’re wondering in a sentence or two, I’d like to try.

@Galyna @Galyna Just stop imagining. ?

@YellowButterfly ?❤️

Alone.

@Gerhard Love.

You’re God/All that is/The One Being - whatever title you like, conducting an illusion that you are Tsuki. We are all the same Self. There are no brains, no universe, no people, no matter, no air - there is only The Being, deceiving it’s Self into believing this is not the case. The point of the deception videos is to deconstruct the ‘person’, to become aware of the the dream actuality of the situation.

@MarkusSweden I find you to be pretty smart.

@StrangerWatch A ridiculous riddle attempt at lightening the thing up a little.... Imagine you’re trapped in a concrete room, no windows no doors, and the room is slowly filling up with water and will eventually drown you. How do you get out of this?

@PsiloPutty You might find this post useful. There’s a ‘posture meditation’ at the bottom, and well as some info on breath meditation, etc. Also, laying on the floor on your stomach, and lifting each leg off the floor for a few minutes each day builds the back muscles and often eradicates the issue if it’s not too serious.

I was just the pawn in a triangle. Well played Patang.

@herghly When the panic hits, just breathe a little slowly from your stomach. Just be present for it, so you can see it passes and you feel fine again. That’s what makes them go away for good in my experience.

@cetus56 YES!

@Shanmugam ❤️?? Your book is great. I’m gonna make a thread about it. Not because I wanna do you a solid (though I do), but because in my opinion, everyone here would benefit from reading it, I know I did. It’s better than most books on the subject.

@Joseph Maynor A great one!

@Patang

@cetus56 Had another thought along the ‘if this were real’ line and thought of you...not positive this will translate, but...we’ve all, to whatever extent, experienced that actuality of Now, the stillness of actual now - how would that even be possible, if we were not eternal? Know what I’m pointin at / saying?

@Patang You point at absolute and relative, and it melts my heart! Thank you❤️?

@Shanmugam Thanks! I understand and I do apologize if what I said seemed personal to you. I am certainly guilty of being direct. I am experiencing an illusion in this ‘moment’, not reality. I am reality. The only being that there is, is the only reality. Everything else, is illusionary (or the dream ?) When you stated you are nothing, and everything.....it appeared as when someone is stating they have free will, or they don’t have free will, or that there is a paradox of both. It reveals they have not experienced the absolute, the source, what they are, love. Having experienced this, I would state it differently. It is very clear that I am absolute/love, and all else is my illusion. Perhaps we are saying the exact same thing and using different words, but there would be no way for me to deduce that. I don’t see why anyone who has experienced their source directly would refer to what they are as nothing & everything. They would know they are alone, an infinite conscious being, and they are not everything - everything is maya, the illusion of the being. You just posted a reference from two days ago, from your memory, and an implied slight against me with psychedelics, immediately following is a post about being enlightened and in the moment (as in not thinking, and further not thinking about yesterday) I am curious, have you tried psychedelics? Which? How was your experience? If you like, you can state what you’re perceiving as a discrepancy between what I said the other day, and what I just said. I am not really interested because I don’t feel it was any different, nor do I see the point in doing so. But I am also happy to entertain and discuss. The absolute is the absolute lol. I do appreciate your convo’s very much! It is ok to think, it is ok to think about yesterday, and the day before, it is ok to think about tomorrow. It is ok to be in samadhi too. It is ok to use psychedelics. It is ok not to use psychedelics. It is ok to learn from Osho, and to quote him, I love his writings. It is ok to put down what others say, and focus on direct experience too. That is the dream, directly. Very funny, but as I’m typing this, the radio is saying “I wanna run through the halls of my highshool, I wanna scream from the top of my lungs - I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world - just a lie we got to rise above”. ? I’m not saying John Mayor is enlightened ? just that maya is so damn funny to be playing that song as I’m typing. It had seemed to me, that all became clear between us yesterday in your post which you said was intended in love. I think all in all, in the maya, we are 99.99999% the same, and we got caught up in the tiniest of fragments in which we appear otherwise. I, am guilty of that, no doubt. I suggest we each feel this now moment, appreciate the breath of life, and take comfort in the silence of what we truly are, One. Just for a moment. Just to clear our thoughts. ❤️
