  1. @egoless Bliss of what you are is the opposite of addiction to a substance.
  2. @tatsumaru “real” has the hilarious potential to launch 100 pages,lol, but I experience it as what I am. To another, I am what they say I am. That’s the nature of illusion.
  3. @Zedi There’s just so much detail and ongoings in life. It’s easy to get caught up. Meditation is the opposite, the zooming out, and then we have that tool or ability so maybe we don’t get too zoomed in as often.
  4. @Aquarius Left field maybe, but I think the guilt derives from a deep belief that we can know what others think. If you resonate with this, I’d contemplate on how we can never know what another person is thinking - even if they’re telling us right to our faces. Also, superposition is worth reading about to get at least the conceptual understanding of how no one outside of your awareness is in the form that they are in your presence. - how relative the experience of ‘them’ is to ‘you’. I find it very freeing and clarifying. Hope you do too. If you find that helpful, quantum erasure may also be helpful to see how jut how not existing the past really is. Even what we remember ‘accurately’, is really superposition. ❤️
  5. @molosku But what if all of it is true, and it’s our minds which are the limiter? How could someone know, since it’s experiential?
  6. @lmfao Contemplate on which one transcends the other. One directional not two.
  7. @Zedi build the practice of ‘zooming in and zooming out’. On one hand life is short so you should choose and get on it, on the other hand the now can be tapped, time exists only relatively. Use both hands.
  8. @Dodo I wish you all the best in experiencing the absolute. Nothing compares.
  9. @Leo Gura I just have a hunch the mystical message was less about shooting a video and more about direct engagement with audience members. Your wisdom and conviction have the power to change people’s lives, to help them realize and redefine what’s possible for them. That’s the rarest gift on the planet a human could give and you can do that. A minute spent covering a topic could be spent directly enhancing an individual’s perspective on their own life. I’m betting if you put all agenda and any planned presentation aside, and just were asked questions, the answers that arise pulling from the culmination of all your experience, would take your breath away. I would attend either though and Godspeed!
  10. @Leo-Tzu Brilliant. Bill Hicks too. Hoping Jim Carrey follows suit on the ‘truth’ comedy.
  11. @Brsczkv I think this is a very wise thing to realize and question and you should consider building a foundation with practices and venture into psychedelics, and if interested, listen to some Abe hicks and see if your answers to this category come from within you.
  12. @rorghee After a year and a half of meditation, you should be in love with it. Try simply returning your focus to breathing from your stomach.
  13. @Shakazulu It’s possible but a mix of practices is more reliable. The runner’s high is nice though.
  14. Doing even a little bit, right now, of what you love and really want to be doing, is better than the best ideas of what you could do. It gets the ball rolling.
  15. @BobbyLowell In my estimation unconditional love is the source of all of us, everything else is attaching to a thought relative to the self/person. Deducing if everyone can be loved will only ever be a thought, self inquiry to one’s own unconditional love is a worthwhile experience and the gift that keeps on giving. ❤️
  16. @Dan Arnautu People assimilate and integrate & implement at different speeds.
  17. @Leo Gura it’s optional with an on off radial in notification settings.
  18. @rorghee May I ask, what are you actually doing in your meditation?
  19. @Flora1437 Imo, self inquiry and “reality” inquiry compliment each other well. I found breakthroughs from doing both; meditation to go deeper within and asking what am I - learning about superposition, quantum erasure, schrodinger’s cat / uncertainty principle and entanglement to open up my mind on what ‘outside reality’ is and what is “my” relationship with it. Though this is not what is traditionally meant by self inquiry, it was useful in revealing the facets of the illusion, and what I am.
  20. @h inandout My wife and I did this sort of exercise thing for a while where we weren’t ‘allowed’ to apologize for anything we said to each other. It was very interesting. We realized apologies were all to freeing, and being ‘stuck’ with what you said was interesting. @Nexeternity I think you’re awesome and I love your contributions and I am a selfish ass as well.
  21. @tatsumaru “The subtlest level of mental activity (mind), which continues with no beginning and no end, without any break, even during death and even into Buddhahood. It is individual and constitutes the mental continuum of each being. It is naturally free of conceptual cognition, the appearance-making of true existence, and grasping for true existence, since it is more subtle than the grosser levels of mental activity with which these occur. It has nothing to do with “light.” (Alexander, Berzin. Berzin Archives Glossary.) Take a look at the above picture. It is meant to be a depiction of clear light as a pale moon. What you actually see is yellowish-white light surrounded by fields of blue. Metaphorically, clear light is the ambient light that you are looking through when you read these words. It is the medium, the matrix, which makes the perception of any frequency of light possible. It is formless, yet existing. As such, it is also a metaphor for causal, “empty,” or high transpersonal consciousness. It is most closely associated with the “way of the sages,” in contrast to the lower transpersonal “way of the yogis,” or the middle transpersonal “way of the saints.” Another way of understanding the clear light is to think of a prism: White light goes in one side and through refraction is split into a continuum of frequencies or vibratory wavelengths that we call “colors.” But white is a color too – the combination of all colors. The clarity of the colors emitted from a prism is dependent on the clarity and intensity of both the incoming white light and the clarity of the prism. The prism itself is not white light. It is clear light. Similarly, if white light is for the moment taken to be analogous to subtle, dream, or bardo consciousness, then the degree to which it is subjected to clear light determines the clarity of the resultant manifestation, or incarnation in matter. The implications for the evolution of our consciousness are that if we desire to live in harmony with life we need to focus on those qualities of consciousness that are analogous to both pure, intense white light and clear light itself. If prismatic white light is analogous to intense, focused alignment with spirit, then the clear light of the prism itself is analogous to self-transcendent, fully open, integrated emptiness. The goal is to maximize both of these states not only while awake, but while dreaming and in deep sleep. Beyond that, we need to balance the frequency output – the “colors” of the spectrum of our lines of development – through the development and maintenance of an ongoing Integral Life Practice. Intense, focused white light is your waking intent aligned with the intentions of life dreaming you. The perfect prism is your purified, clear, enlightened mind. The perfect spectrum is your healthy, balanced, and transforming life. http://www.dreamyoga.com/what-is-clear-light/
  22. @tatsumaru Maybe there’s no objective reality and neither have a grip on anything. Maybe we’re all One schizophrenic.
