Well said. Ime, that path leads to the experience of nonduality, which is incommunicable, in any literal sense. When we see the truth in this regard and are then living without the suffering....we tend to want to know the whole truth.

@alyra I had a little trouble isolating the points in the rest, but I love this.... “I see often people talk about ego and it just all seems a little misguided. sure it makes sense that people want to "shed their ego" or however it is that's popular to say it. but you do not destroy what is ego and make it leave, you simply find a way to stop seeing the illusion of ego - the belief of it - you cease from being slave to it.” Poetic and beautiful imo. Thanks.

@sarapr The I preceeds the mind. The I never changes for the mind. The mind can change the dream of the I. “Me” is directly of the mind, and directly of the I. Alignment is alignment.

@Faceless You.

“Reality” (Illusion/Maya) is so completely and wholly deceptive that it gets referred to as reality, as real, as ‘without deception’. Only absolute could be absolutely deceiving. We are maya, you and I are the One. The question imo is, is the undefinable One self conscious / self aware? And as no thing isn’t it, we are all it, so can we experience our true self, the One?

@egoless What was the most plain & ordinary becomes the most magical, radical & extraordinary. Balance of pragmatic vs mystical thinking also ‘flips’, and one is now within the other, fully reversed, inside out. Being in the world with willingness to be open minded to mystical becomes being mystical with open mindedness to meet in a “world”. Expansion, balance. Expansion, balance. Expansion, balance.

@egoless hellz yeah man. A thought on the original post as to requiring belief, Abeism states we can understand our vibration by how we feel (difference in proximity to source), and or by what we’re experiencing in life (manifesting). Neither observation requires any belief. Perception is convoluted by beliefs. Maybe step 1 is a no-belief game? Belief would be step 2, as in, believing we can actually do what we want about how we feel / what we manifest. Quite useful, and exceptionally useful in helping realizations of present being filtered through the past. Love that present being.

@Afonso lol. Thank you.

@saint_charming7 Working out is your new most favorite thing. The best part of your day! When you go to bed, you can barely even wait until you can get up and work out!

Make a habit of sitting quietly in a room alone, no matter what arises in the mind. Get ‘below’ no pain no gain. All suffering is self inflicted. If & then reinforce the if to someone who has yet to see any ‘then’. It’s their own ‘if’ they need to become aware of.

@Joseph Maynor What are “enlightenment beliefs”?

There’s no objective reality. It’s all belief. It’s ALL you. Loa is working on that level. Pure allowing. No resistance of the mind. No “other”. No “thing”.

@smd Go one step previous to what you think about his ongoings. Contemplate that it’s your judgement that bugs you, not what some guy is doing. You mentioned “we all die alone”. That’s a false premise, in a way, and at the base of your misunderstanding in perceiving what dude is doing. That premise requires holding beliefs that you are not currently alone and that you are currently ‘alive’ in the sense that you will die. It’s the duality trap of alive / dead, existence, nonexistence. Dude is less identified with the body / mind, so he is liberated, at least in this sense, and doing what he would probably refer to as ‘just living’. Hear the underlying “why” he isn’t sweating the potential outcomes - it’s because he trusts in the much bigger picture (imo). I find a clear correlation between loa and quality of marriage. Not as a rule, but as a generality. Someone who would say “loa is total bullshit”, is likely to be oblivious to the role of their own attitude and contributions in their marriage (towards parents too). Someone who atleast entertains the actuality of loa, takes ownership for their “vibration”, their attitude, their choices. They take this view to the biggest picture, taking their own personal accountability to a higher level, and their actions and words reflect this. They don’t blame their husband / wife for their own suffering, and they are highly unlikely to have issues like alchoholism and drug addiction. Those substances are typically used to mask their own role in their own misery. Thus it is perpetuated and seemingly growing in terms of difficulty of penetrating.

@Mighty Mouse nice!

@Ian Just use the force, even though it’s undefinable.

@star ark what are atoms made of? I think it could clarify the free will.

@Psyche_92 Does he say anything about what preceded his awakening?

@star ark What is an atom, though?

The eyeball, the air, and the object are all the same. Life is pretty amazing. That there are physics is more amazing - fields that we can’t even see are magically keeping all this happening. Superposition is even more amazing, what it reveals - ?. String theory is just mind blowing. The more we look at reality the more we see how amazing it is. Realizing it was you all along is unspeakable.

@Ian Maybe think about yourself as an everychanging thing, versus definable. Even time you define yourself, you changed. Isolate the catalyst as your anger, not what anyone says. You’re already aware of the triggers, become more aware of the reaction and response, then contemplate on it.

@Ian “When people stand in my way, I become angry”. What’s up with that? What’s going on, who’s “standing in your way?”

@Faceless I understand what you’re saying, that is the value of meditation and psychedelics. Thinking is entirely of the illusion.

Uncover it.

@Highest Just opinion / suggestion - try em again. With a foundation. Systematically. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively and enjoy the best pot on earth. Psychedelics are another thing. They can rip all of you away, and yet leave you in reality.
