@cosmicrays might help to look at more basic tenable facets like your eating & exercise habits, and of course daily meditation so you’re not carrying and mental baggage throughout your days.

I think he should sell t shirts... solid black of course, On the front: There is no YOU!!!! On the back: But Leo!!!!

@Ether if we didn’t think unwanted thoughts - worrying, etc - there wouldn’t be so much to let go of when we meditate. Real-ize you get a fresh start every morning - a clean nondual state. Then stay where you are. Stay in the now. If a worry some thought about the future, or the outcome of anything arises and concerns you, if a troublesome thought from the past arises, you must find it in you to laugh, to openly talk to someone about it to surrender it, to accept it as what got you to be here now - to do what helps you. Keep doing this for a while, everyday. Eventually a day comes where you’re thinking stays on wanted. It gets very easy to flip the coin of duality, and see the other side. Ultimately, to accept both sides as One.

It’s a game of hide & seek, you are the hider and you are the seeker, so you can never find yourself - you’re the One looking -, you win the game by surrendering. Some look more than others. Go through the suffering. Straight through it like a Lion.

@Will Bigger yes.... to you. But when you take the ‘you’ out of it...matter, consciousness, and you...are all the same.

Nonduality perspective in a dualistic reality/illusion; "I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I imagine you can also feel me. You won't have to search for me anymore. I'm done running. Done hiding. Whether I'm done fighting, I suppose, is up to you. I believe deep down, we both want this world to change. I believe that the Matrix can remain our cage or it can become our chrysalis, that's what you helped me to understand. That to be truly free, truly free, you cannot change your cage. You have to change yourself. When I used to look out at this world, all I could see was its edges, its boundaries, its leaders and laws. But now, I see another world. A different world where all things are possible. A world of hope. Of peace. I can't tell you how to get there, but I know if you can free your mind, you'll find the way."

@LiakosN beautiful man. Truth expressed! Great post.

That is likely much wiser than what I just said. The practices are the way for continued expansion.

@Telepresent Write two columns on paper; belief & experience. Contemplate what you are, and start listing. Honesty is paramount. meditate and focus on the breathing in your stomach, it is the entire illusory universe flowing through, aka air.

@kieranperez being authentic is being honest, wherever you are at in coming to know what you are. If struggling with honesty, talk slower, listen longer, acknowledge the ignorance. That ignorance is not shameful, or embarrassing, is a cultural paradigm. It is not true.

@AleksM interesting! Thanks for the info!

thanks for the reply. mine is too but try shooting for and octave or two lower if possible.

@aurum cool thanks. I’ll see you at the temple next Sunday.

@EyeOfTheStorm Start with your whole body and end with nothing; biology, psychology, neurology, neuroplasticity, physics, general relativity, quantum physics, homeostasis, human adaptation, genetics, epigenetics, symatics, field theory, superposition, the LHC, potentiality, chaos theory, string theory, twisters, then the Planck scale stuff. Or, you could just take psychedelics. Then you’ll see the biggest picture in a matter of minutes or hours, but it will fade away after. Foundation is as paramount as any individual experience. Either way, you’ll see that what is sitting in front of you right now, is your own perception. So, avoid the traps of other’s perceptions, like philosophy, epistemology, religion, history, etc.

@aurum ‘mod conspiracy’ lol!! Awesome. In hindsight, we could have had a lot of fun with this one.

@EyeOfTheStorm 1. How can I really make myself wonder who I am? I mean I know that there is something that is “covered” etc. but how can I actually really make myself wonder? Skip The Who. Wonder what you are. Start with contemplating your assumptions, this begins the process of discovery that we take the most basic things for granted. Such as air. Your ‘who’ is a separate identity. Separated from other things, by air. Yet, it is the air which has always unified you with all things, not separated you. This is the level of ‘game’ in the illusion. You’ve been playing hide & seek. You’re the hider & the seeker. The game is only ‘won’ by surrendering. Surrendering is your ‘ace in the hole’ on a trip. Also, it is the air which is keeping you ‘alive’ ?

@Shroomdoctor I love your post. I’ve been singing for a long time. I made use of a ‘bridge’ I discovered. I learned about vocal warm ups and breathing to stretch out the diaphragm, and how the pitch is controlled there, not in the throat. A solid ‘practice’ in life, to connect, is to breath from the stomach 24/7. It’s a game changer in life, and after some number of days, it’s a total game changing for singing. Not that I am a great singer, cause ‘eye of the beholder’, but because it played a role in my liberation from the talent paradigm. A way to express my perspective now, is there are singers who are singing from their diaphram, and there are singers who still believe in talent. Also, when singing, the sound board or register of stomach, chest, and head MUST be engaged. The practice of this in singing leads to a new awareness of the body in general. Best of luck to you!!!! One more misc thought....have you learned guitar yet? Being able to go on a solo retreat, and just play and sing alone, man, I have no words.

Loa is a guide to freedom, to nonduality. (I am referencing Ester, not ‘the secret’) It takes some serious commitment, but one can learn to wield the actual nature of creation.

Unconditional love is powerful.

@martin_malin i love reading this. The system is the very means to our experience of freedom. ❤️ I ‘got the fuck outta there’ and started a business as well. Just a thought on the retreat...a retreat alone, with a trip or two in it, can reveal “The Alone”....The One. You win either way, just a thought.
