Habit, monkey mind, the ego, desire, all of reality being an illusion...that’s a formidable path! On top of that, it can only be walked alone, and it leaves us unable to communicate what we find to anyone. It’s understandable that a newb might need to be told what mental masturbation is. It’s supposed to happen just like it does. Makes em feel a little self conscious about pleasuring themselves in front of everyone. They aren’t conscious enough to know they are, so it takes a few reminders. This is happening so compassion and love can be experienced. Ideally there’s a big smile & a lot of laughter behind saying ‘stop playing with yourself and get back to work! That’s the world we want, right? The one were we’re increasing our consciousness, and having fun? The whole process is really funny isn’t it?

@Ilya bliss is the default, but you want to be doing more. That’s great.

@eputkonen do you see the paradox?

@The White Belt ?

@Leo Gura She would have benefited from psychedelics. ?

@cetus56 neat. It’s hard to read the words squishing and crunching, and popping open a full bag of potatoe chips without now hearing those sounds in your head.

@Joel3102 can’t go wrong with learning.

@Preetom what do you think you’re doing reading and learning and sharing what you found on this site?!?!? Have you no complaints?? No one to blame!??! What’s wrong with you! ? you got it! It is your expansion! Get back to reading and keep up the good work!❤️ When you finish it, get a solid meditation in. Let it permeate. ?

@Dodo ok.

@BjarkeT the practices are the superpower. With dedication & continuity in doing them, we discover there is no need for ‘superpowers’.

@Dodo what’s up with your body? Whatcha talking about?

That’s beautiful!

@Leo Gura I’m excited too. I hope there’s a paradigm in it for me. Thanks!!!!

Maybe he realized he wasn’t alive. Maybe he realized the Now. As in, there actually is no past, just the expanding now. Maybe he, and all the other spiritual individuals / gurus, exist only in your mind, in the form of a backdrop for this experience you’re having, which also doesn’t exist. So did he rise from the dead? To debate that would be to miss the entirety of Now. There is a a cute little Christmas house / Kleenex box holder in front of me at the moment. As I focus on it, the relativity of it to me becomes revealed deeper and deeper the longer I give it my attention. It seemed like an arbitrary purchase, just a product made somewhere that ended up in my house by means of my wife. But it’s not! It’s me!!!

Before I came into this life, I bet I asked for a trillion hours, and had to settle for 10,000.

@Spence94 If you’re feeling negative emotion, you are experiencing something with far less awareness than you are capable of using, and that does not feel good enough for you, because you know you know better and are not applying what you already know. How else could it be possible to feel bad? The very experience requires two points of relativity. One is the way you’re seeing it, the other is the way you could be.

@Jedd A good new hire is a highly coachable student who does the practices every day before arriving. They assimilate the information & organize it, making full use of it. They can apply their highlights of their own personality creatively to production that would otherwise be repetitive and monotonous. Attitude is everything.

@DEV we’re human beings. Not humans being X or Y. The being is nondual. The Self imposed duality ‘splits’ make for the unique specific experiences. The illusion is that we are “beings”, but I find, we are Being. Any definition is self imposed duality.

@nexusoflife That’s great!

I hear ya! Thank God for psychedelics! One can have his cake and eat it too. All is possible. The Devil’s in the rush.

@nexusoflife What a share! Thanks! ❤️? and....I wanna read that book when it’s done!

I like the disappearing act.

@zunnyman Thank you for your inspiration! One more note, and I’m not trying to be semantical...but...I have not “showed you the significance” of what you’re about to do. I get what you meant, and thank you - but, only you could do that. You’ll see.....muahhhh ahhhh ahhh!!! I am loving being a spectator though! You got balls of steel bro!

@How to be wise You’re unstoppable. So where is the motivation to come from now that you have realized the magnitude of your undertaking? If you haven’t, read Outliers, the book of the 10,000 hours study. That book is about people who were unstoppable, and I think you would relate and that would prime your mind so to speak, ‘reconnect you’, and get you back to loving being ‘whatever it takes’. “Whip whip - run me like a race horse, pull me like a ripcord, break me down and build me up - cause I love the adrenaline in my veins, I love how it feels to break the chains - take me to the top, I’m ready for whatever it takes”. - Dan Reynolds We all love that feeling. It’s the worthwhile one.

@Leo Gura The bookmark enhancements are fantastic. Thanks!
