There is a being, and it is just being. Within it, it is ‘imagining’ being Afonso, and within Afonso is a thought about what it is to be only the being, which isn’t being experienced, because it is being Afonso, thinking, and asking the question. This Being, being Afonso, minus the thinking, minus the question, is the actual answer - because then there is no answer, because there no longer is a question, no duality happening within the Being. Also, Being, no longer being Afonso, is the actual answer, because then Being is not being Afonso, so there is no Afonso thinking about this. When we are only being, such as ‘on a trip’, or in meditation, this gets real funny real fast, because we see that we were already this Being all along, which was being Afonso. Then we tend to come ‘out of’ the trip, and resume thinking, and eventually we say, (because this is the nature of thinking, of duality) “wait...what was...how did that...was I?....etc”.

Meditation makes it a lot easier to see more of what’s going on and to be more aware of what the hell I’m doing.

@How to be wise that’s the materialist paradigm. You would not be able to lose enlightenment because there wasn’t anything gained to begin with. The brain, and the person it’s in, are a dream within what is permanent. Ultimately, that’s you. There would only be the illusion of something gained and something lost. No one could know what the experience is without experiencing it.

@Angelo John Gage i’ve watched a lot of debates as well. Even though he’s really limited to the science paradigm, don’t you kind of come to love Richard Dawkins? Or is it just me?

@How to be wise just breath into your stomach & diaphragm as much air as you can, then breath out as slow as you can, keep repeating. It takes around 10 minutes to expand it to 15. Singers do this to warm up.

@Ilya There is the experience of someone who has never asked themselves what they are. Then there’s the view of Godhead / Absolute / “outside of everything that is”. We’re all somewhere inbetween. The greatest adventure that never happened.

@Max_V I love it. You’re made of atoms. Atoms are empty. Yet here you are. Is that “alive”, is that “dead”. An illusion is when something appears to be something other than what it is, or when something appears to be happening, which in actuality isn’t happening. Another route is using a pen and paper, and writing everything that comes to mind about your experience being born, dying, not being God. When you’re done, scribble out any beliefs - things which you honestly have no experience with. Without white, there’s no black, without black, there’s no white. When you see one, you know the other. “This was just a complete illusion” he says. I’m very excited for you. ❤️

there is as much nothing in something as anything and everything.

@LiakosN well yeah. Sorry. Please let us know how that goes.

@Blackjohn great revelation. All there is, is what you’re aware of. No one knows what anyone else is thinking, even if they tell you. Over thinking is negative thinking. Practice flipping the coin. The post about technique of letting go could be a life changer for you. We can let go mental or physical resistence.

@LiakosN put wipes in the bathroom. when you finish a call with your buddy, you’re laughing, she asks why, and you tell her what he said about a girl with that issue, and you’re like yeah, that’s why I bought those wipes, I don’t wanna be that person. Lol. Excellent post man. Really drilling down to the shit.

@Dsteller BRUUUUUCE I love it Johnny 99...huh...right...? I love Nebraska. I got to meet Bruce a while back, maybe 15 years ago. I had a few minutes with him. Could’ve asked him anything. Instead I stared at him, 2 feet in front of him, like a moron. Lol. ”Let em shave of my hair, and put me on that killin line” Get’s me every time. I think meaningful art triggers a “me too” reaction, wether it’s from suffering or from joy, and also sometimes, it says “there’s something here you haven’t seen yet, or something you’ve missed”. You might like this one. I feel like he’s describing a typical ‘man’ situation in the verses, and then being and expressing the unspeakable in the chorus. And her little laugh at the end,

@cirkussmile ?❤️

@Slade if you want to understand depression, research the physical manifestations that it can bring, and how the body can heal itself. Uncertainty - choice - is a powerful gift we have. Also, psychedelics can take you right to the brink of uncertainty, the isness. That would be a helpful perspective in your tool box. Best of luck to you. That’s a noble lp imo. I think you have a unique gift. I often think, though it is an enormous generality, that depression is life without spirituality, without stopping to say “what am I”.

This life is for you. Living it through the past is not for you.

@Marks199 choose meditation, twice a day, 30 minutes. Everything else can wait. None of this is urgent, though I understand it feels like it is. It’s not. Relax. A lot of people spend a lifetime searching for love, never discovering they are it. Your energy has served you well, 5 languages- that’s impressive! Imagine if you hone and harness that energy, with meditation, and begin to imagine the life you want. The past is gone. Gone. Don’t resurrect it anymore. ❤️

@Angelo John Gage makes sense to me. Unconditional is an infinite rabbit hole. We can all find something to get hung up on. That’s easy. Too easy.

we can tell we’re lying by the moving lips.

@egoless You could experience everything you want. Money isn’t even real in the ‘ physical ‘ sense, let alone existentially. It’s 3 cups and a peanut, but there’s no peanut - just people who know there’s no peanut, so they get movin the cups. What if YouTube keeps working fine. What if Leo keeps growing his influence and makes millions a year, and helps millions a year. What if he’s the catalyst to the change. What if you are. What if love is more powerful than money. What if none of this is real and our own thinking is creating it. What if, is an exciting game. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one What if, there’s no system to escape.

@Marinus I am sorry to hear that. got to let it go man. Sounds like you’re hanging on to some thoughts, those ‘block’ the flow. Blocking the flow starts to effect the body. I believe In this way... It’s helps me to be mindful of the duality, and flip that coin. It is true that it is hard to just let go of thoughts, especially ones relative to the heart matters - it is true that it is easy to just let go of thoughts, especially the ones relative to the heart matters. The one we repeat to ourselves, is the one we believe & experience. You’re a smart guy, you’ll figure it out. ??❤️

@hinawashi choose how you feel over being right.

@Samuel Garcia the ego hangs on to identities and attaches to thoughts, over thinks etc. Let go of that, and consciousness is the revealed default. Consciousness is whatever anyone is calling it though, whatever meaning one is giving the word.

@Petar that’s so great to hear! ❤️? A had a migraine so bad I couldn’t function once. Lasted 10 days. In & out of hospitals. Meditation is so powerful. This post reminds me of @Afonso ‘s post. Letting go...powerful stuff!

@Sahil Pandit do both

@Marinus how’s the quality of your thinking? I believe stress and worry contribute to acne, as can food etc.
