@JustinS ????????

@cetus56 Pure f’ing magic! ❤️

@Seed Loved that book! Told my kids the spoon / oil story just 2 nights ago. I told em the story is called ‘what is the oil’, and that the way the story works, is no one says what their oil is. Much love to you Seed.

@JustinS Holy shit!!!!??? That is much clearer than my babbling! Thanks!!!

@DocHoliday Asking why is thinking. Going within is the other direction all together. Why’s could go on forever in the thinking, but not absolutely. Inherent in the illusion, is a limit on one’s thinking (death). If there wasn’t death, your intelligence would be infinite, and therefore, you would not be asking why. That’s what you’re up against, if you want to know that why. Knowing that why for yourself though - most worthwhile adventure. You’re completely underestimating so far.

@Monkey-man There is no intellectual answer. Think of intellectual as a frequency band. It’s the band of thoughts. Think of another frequency band that is a broader spectrum (awareness) and it contains the intellectual band, but is more expansive thus encompassing of it, and then another frequency band more expansive than that one (being) which is even more expansive and encompasses the previous two “bands”, and then another “band” which is at the same time not a band in any sense like the others, and is beyond being, and beyond being a thing or not being a thing, beyond existing or not existing (those are the dualities of the thoughts band) but yet is the source of all beings and all things. So, there is no thinking one’s way from the first, to the most expanded, to the absolute. It can be done without thinking. This can not be intellectualized, because the thinking is coming from without the most expanded band. I think that’s a way to try to explain it, but in actuality, it’s also happening in that way, but in reverse, within you. No matter how much we look at and deduce, the path is always within, straight through the thinker. Another attempt to point to it - Sight, thinking, awareness, being. In that order. You can visually see. You can think of what you see. You can not visually see your thinking. It goes in one direction. Thinking is transcendant to seeing. You can think. You can be aware of what you think. You can not think your awareness. It goes in one direction. Awareness is transcendant to thinking. You are being. You are being aware. You are not aware of your Being. It goes in one direction. Being, is transcendant to awareness. So you’d have to go straight through what you’re seeing, everything you’re thinking, all that you’re aware of, right into your very being. Then, you’d have acquired the perspective of how all is you.

@DocHoliday You’re describing interests and hows. I took the post as pertaining to the why. What if the collective experience was an illusion? Like, the universe, in it’s entirety, was illusionary. Why?

@Nathan Sounds like you have a glimpse of the concept, but you don’t feel so hot about things. So, what must be the difference between the concept of being “the only witness”, and the experience of being “the only witness”? A solid perplexing situation, as contemplation reinforces the conceptualization. So, how to go beyond concepts, beyond contemplation - beyond thinking? You have the map, you need the territory. You can’t dispose of the map, not at this point in the journey - nor would you want to. There’s no going back from this point you’ve made it to. You can relax now, you can trust. Your job is simply to be in a neutral state - to not attach to any resistant thoughts. No need to ‘think your way ahead’. Just neutral and allowing will do. Watch what comes, and enjoy it. It will come to you without your efforts. Your efforts slow it down. Just allow, and see. You’re going to be fine man. So much better than fine.

@DocHoliday what realization?

@Shakazulu ❤️

@Okaythen Thanks. Very kind of you. ❤️

@okulele Great report man! Sounds a little nuts!

@Monkey-man no.

@Charlotte What’s the current living situation? Does he have a job? Could he find a place to rent? Is he your responsibility, or are you your responsibility?

@Leo-Tzu 6 days a week, 6 mls / 50 minutes, elliptical & ipad,choc almond milk latte, protein shake.

@Joseph Maynor I really liked that. Thanks

@FeelFree I don’t understand it anymore than I am enlightened, but I enjoy them and have been actively interested in both for many years. I’m assuming you’re talking about qm’s (vs physics). Forgive me if my assumption is wrong. I think Neils Bohr is my favorite. He was one smart dude: I discovered Bohr when I was into reading about Einstein. I remember reading their famous (I think) convo after the Copenhagen gathering, when they were reeling in the ‘results’ of their lab test on Young’s double slit & kicking off superposition, and Einstein asks Bohr if he really believes the moon’s not there when he’s not looking at it, I think Einstein says something like God does not play dice with the universe (confirming his determinism) and Bohr says, don’t tell God what to do. I thought, this Bohr guy’s an arrogant idiot! I was so happy when I discovered I was the arrogant idiot! QM’s was not shocking to me for years of learning about it, then one day, on a trip, glad I had it in the foundation, very shocking indeed. How about you? Got a favorite? What turned you on to it?

@Dodo Makes sense. Lol. Jk. Nicknames are funny... Namaste

@Dodo lol. Yeah. Or, maybe there never was a dodo, and it is representative within the illusion. Cavemen too perhaps. Even me, maybe. What do I represent to you, if anything?

@erik8lrl Damn!!! What a trip! It’s so funny I’m not even laughing, and it’s so true it’s fuckin hilarious! Thanks for sharing it. Love the poetry too!

With religion, “X”, is the dogma. With LOA, “X” is what you want. Not what someone wants for you, wants you to have, wants you to do, wants you to give, wants you to help them with. ”X” is what YOU want. Perhaps loa is bunk to you because you haven’t taken time to distinguish what it is you want? Shot in the dark. Hopefully helpful, vs argumentative. ❤️ If the dodo practiced loa, would it be extinct? Lol

@LRyan I wonder about this. There is the ultimate no meaning, but meaning assigned, or meaning relative to the person dreaming and matter? I wonder. I had one dream in recent years, and it was about @egoless. Weird and funny right? The dream was like one of those rare immediate action inspirations, where you think about it after you do it. I woke up directly from the dream and sent a message to him. So, he’s in a position to weigh in on your topic I think. Perhaps it was a profound experience, perhaps it was meaningless. I do wonder.

@egoless I think it’s worth a glance, for the sake of pro-loa, that there is ultimately no difference between belief and knowledge. I look for the distinction between belief and experience, and I call ‘that’ known to me. Perhaps nothing can be known but the Truth it’s self, revealing all knowledge is not true. If knowledge were truth, how could loa be possible? I like how Dave Matthews put it - “In the end, it all piles up to one big nothing-at-all.” “We are innocent instead” So, back to loa - “Seek up an emotion” “Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking”. We are innocent.

@Leo Gura ?

@JustinS Hell yeah man. ❤️ It is really funny.
