    Not-knowing is not an activity. It preceeds all beginings and is beginningless (Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj).

    It is not to be reached. It is not an attitude. Its always. The problem is all the energy that is invested in denying not-knowing. Even as a lowkey destination to reach. 

    So the question is how conscious am I of my denial? Not a question to generate an answer. But a question to investigate for the sake of investigation. The seeking is the answer.

    Edit: so the endless search stems from denial. Not from not-knowing. The ego's seeking always starts from an assumption. Its that very first assumption that needs investigation.

    Do not confuse Absolute Truth with permanence of state.

    All states are Absolute Truth.

    Never forget: There can only be ONE thing. That ONE thing must be Absolute Truth regardless of what form or shape it takes or how long it lasts. And that thing must be absolutely unlimited and self-created. And it must love itself.

    Must love itself

    Translated: love love love

    Must = love

    Love = love

    Itself = love

    Beware of what the half-truth fairy.

    There's no such thing as half truth because there isn't a whole truth.

    Truth is a man-made concept of the mind. There's just what is.

    Nothing matters in any way at all.

    You could spend the rest of your life sitting on the couch eating cookies and watching p*** or become the president of the United States... it does not matter in any way at all.

    The only thing that places meaning purpose and value on anything is a conditioned thought.

    The thoughts place an illusory overlay on top of reality and operate from that perception. ❤

     

     

    How has this worked out for you? How is the quality of your life? You don't need to respond here, but it would be helpful to self-reflect on the answers you would be willing to give. Why would I answer in this way? Are there things I am not willing to look at? Am I hiding from things?

    @Visionary Thank you.

    I myself am quite familiar with hell. One could say I'm venturing into it quite often these days. For the purposes of releasing some trauma and reaching a deeper understanding of my shadow. Not pleasant at all haha. But it's relevant, I imagine.

    Death is necessary and only natural. Still; I struggle to make peace with it. It seems to me that that's simply a part of the whole process of transformation. It's uncomfortable. And sometimes very painful and terrifying. It's life. 

    Much love.

     

    Yeah same man. I realize more and more that "I" can never heal myself. I have never healed myself. So I pray. And god will not respond to my liking. Only when i realize the depths of my hopelesness and i appear naked before him. And he won't give me what's not already there. My uncertainty turns into Faith. Only by Grace. It's so cruel haha. 

    ❤

    I always love reading your posts my Friend. When you spoke of Will it brough tears to my eyes. 

    I never physically died though i have been in hell. I once dove deep in one of my core wounds and understood it was hell. A collective hell of shame. All prana/energy left my body, i become cold as ice. But it was beautiful and terrifying.

    But death? Physically? No, never. But as you said death is illusory. So its not one specific point. We're dying already, right? Isn't that what is meant by death? Not just the body totally shutting down, but the whole shebang? 

    But i understand, one must experience it before you can understand.

    Telling people not to use their minds is not a solution to our problems.

    This is counter intuitively a very embodied thing to say. Very practical and more integrated than most nondual gurus with anti-mind dogmatics preach. 

    Can understanding be real without embodiment?

    I'm not sure but throughout the healing journey one could really correct the most horrible posture problems.

    Trauma is a multidimension/multilayered manifestion. On an emotional, energetic and physical level. And of course mental. Trauma results mostly in these problematic postures. Creating body awareness is absolutely helpful. And very necessary to deal with either kundalini symptoms or posture problems.

    When you realize yourself as Consciousness, your sense of self dissolves. Your personality is just a field of forces - thoughts, feelings, perceptions, memories, physical drives - that you used to identify with, but now see them for what they are. You are the field within which these forces arise and fall, and they no longer have much pull on you. The forces themselves have lost some of their coarseness, and have become more sublime. As Consciousness, you realize your infinite abundance. You can enjoy the forces for what they are, but no longer take them seriously, or direct your attention to them for long.

    Very well said. As consciousness everything is indeed truly abundant. Infinite recognition and acknowledgement by the eye that sees all (not Sauron).

    look i'm not here to defend trump. but i fail to see how he is more warmongering than obama/hillary/bush/clinton?

    also i didn't want to post this video, but since the voting has been done it doesn't matter anyway.

    but it seems biden is not a decent guy, i just really heard about this stuff yesterday. how he threw young black men mostly into jail for decades for small amounts of crack and was happily defending it.

    the only reason voting for the guy is the environment and hopefully less divisiveness in the us.

     

     

    bern or bust

    It doesn't work like that. You can't just compare without context to state which one is more of a war mongerer. Looking at the personalities its quiet clear who is and who isnt. Its easy to critisize a government after 15 years of failed warfare. You think Trump wouldnt do what the Bush administration or Obama would have done? Lmao. This is about context and momentum.

    I don't know but I get the feeling that Trump is a better person than Biden. I'm sorry if that upsets you. What is your opinion on Biden? Do you feel he is a good person? Do you get an intuition about it?

    So you think the reason Ananda and Ramaji votes for Trump is because they hate themselves? I know them well enough to know that's not true.

    I don't mean just hate as in hating my ego self. I mean the Self. A lot of the conspiracy people are negatively motivated by all the evil in the world. We should ask ourselves: what are people vibrationally/energetically really contributing? We become what we fight against. That is how the devil works. I don't see any of them as existentially evil. I have sympathy for both of them. But that does not mean i don't have to vote. And what would i vote for? The less deluded.

    I explained why spiritual people vote for Trump, do you have a different theory? No need to make fun of each other or get upset, I even wrote that I don't know what the truth is so no one would be upset :)

    You said trump has a soul dude. How would you know? What does that mean according to you? Why don't others have a soul? I mean the reasons people vote for Trump...at a certain stage of development you should easily be able to see through the man. The spiritual community is full of self-hatred. Especially the pedophile/satanist elite conspiracy spiritual people.. or whatever we would call them.

    Many spiritual people vote for Trump. He may have flaws but at least he has a soul and he is fighting against the establishment. People feel that it's a choice between voting for someone who have flaws but wants the best for his country vs vote for some corrupt evil. I don't know what the truth is but my teacher also say that Trump has to win, that's coming from his intuition and not from some conspiracy theory.

    Wants best for his country? How would you know? And what about whats best for the world? Whats best for the environment? Whats best for the poor people?

    I mean.. theres so much stupidity in your post. Its mind boggling. Why do i even start ffs ??

    Your teachers intuition? Oh lord

    @Visionary I still don't get what you mean by "awakening the body" and with "grounding" but I will reasearch that.

    I am still confused about your assumptions about the nature of self-enquiry.

    You wrote: "Most folk here use it as a way to form new conclusions by dissecting reality. Self-enquiry is not about reaching conclusions at all."

    Leo told that self-inquiry is about finding your true self and disidentifying yourself with the idea you are a body/inside a body and that there is a solid material external reality and to understand, this is all imagination.

    What's self-inquiry about then?

    Imagination? Then jump in front of a train.

    Disidentification? That is not dissociation. 

    This is very delicate business once again. The reason people aren't doing self-enquiry the right way, is because they don't have the energetic awareness. They're mostly blind to what their hidden intentions are when self-enquiring. But you need to do it wrong a lot of times before you realize it for yourself. So i'm not saying you're not on the right track or anything. Just trying to spare you some time. I've been there myself 4 years ago.

    Awakening of the body is where you go through all the trauma. Anchoring the consciousness into the body. That's also where the labels will fall away from what you thought your body was. It's the alchemization process. That's something far more different than dissociation.

    Often people use this path to run away from being a person. Enlightenment is a way of not being "me" anymore. An escape from pain. This hidden intention is something that must be dealt with eventually. And it will be dealt with. But mostly further up the process.

    And you will never understand what grounding means by my words. Just do research and start practicing. It's probably the best advice you can have on your journey right now. And like Dreamscape said... eventually it's about residing in the heart. Sounds very poetic and fluffy... but its actually very practical and essential.

    Thank you @Visionary for your reply and for your tips.

    I want to state, that I am not trying to do intentionally insight hunting, but to reach enlightenment.

    I don't know what's happening to me. One day I just woke up and I found myself being despersonalized just like that.

    I quoted everything I felt/I am feeling to give you a proper picture of what's happening to me, not to boast myself or such.

    I want to explain what's I noticed about my mindset too:

    I am trying to understand through constant brute force meditation/self inquiry what's happening and I am trying to search for that single thing that will "unlock" it.

    Still, even if I understood what I am and what's all about, I cannot "unlock" it.

    I get thrown there and here some nondual insights, but nothing more happens.

    My depersonalization is still in force.

    What do you mean "grounding myself"?

    What do you mean by "You cannot be the insight without doing body work. Body work is absolutely crucial. Don't be a slave to your mental insights/intellect or what you're able to achieve during meditations. This will all become very silly once you understand what it's truly about. The state of non-attachment can only come through involvement. Not through dissecting. Thats dissociation."?

    I see! Well grounding into the body makes no sense until you experience it for yourself. This whole path makes no sense without grounding. The problem with self-enquiry is that its very delicate business. Most folk here use it as a way to form new conclusions by dissecting reality. Self-enquiry is not about reaching conclusions at all.

    So i would advice you to really take your time to search for the definition of grounding. And that still is far away from the actual experience. To me it looks like you're done awakening the mind. Its time to awaken the body.

    Methods: breathwork, tai chi/qigong, yoga for example.

    What i meant by that is that the only way you can become the insight is when the body and the mind are integrated into the consciousness. Do energy work to realize. Vipassana meditation is also very very powerful.

    It looks like you need to ground yourself. By trying to understand everything you're dissociating from your senses, hence the depersonalization. Its rather about being involved in your senses than distancing yourself from pain by mental gains.

    1 tip: throw away the attitude to attain insights. Its about you being the insight (which eventually comes with grounding and embodying the higher consciousness states). You cannot be the insight without doing body work. Body work is absolutely crucial. Don't be a slave to your mental insights/intellect or what you're able to achieve during meditations. This will all become very silly once you understand what it's truly about. The state of non-attachment can only come through involvement. Not through dissecting. Thats dissociation.

    @Dodo the point is that you're conflating two things. You could have made the same post leaving Jesus out. It kinda creates this misleading thought that Jesus adopted the name for that purpose or that he somehow meant it. When in reality it is you who is perceiving it like that falsely. 

    I'm trying to say that whatever you're saying in the post has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus or his name. You have simply separated his name and given your own meaning to it. It's very misleading 

    Thats nonsensical and surface level thinking.
