    Leo was wrong to give winterknight the boot.

    He wasn't booted, he left. He wasn't banned I mean. At least, in his last post he said he was leaving. 

    Edit: I just went back to read the exchange, guess the disagreement was such that he really couldn't have stuck around.

    @Anna1 I'm putting my dating profile together and I'd appreciate your input on something.  A few years ago I had a psychosis episode and I was thinking of including that briefly in my profile.  Would that be too much information, too soon?  I don't wanna weird the ladies out, but I also want to be honest and also weed out anyone who might be turned off by my medical history.

    Hi @Beginner Mind, I'd advise you to not put it in your profile, once you are chatting with someone and if they already like you, then bring it up, if you still want too.

    Give yourself a chance first though, putting it in the profile would be like shooting yourself in the foot. Ppl are more apt to be understanding once they already like you/are interested in you.

    It won't be dishonest not to say that upfront, that's personal information and one isn't privy to that sorta info, until they earn the right to be...or that's my opinion.?

    Without past & future, now wouldn't exist.

     "Now" is all there ever is.

    When ppl refer to "no time", they are referring to the "psychological sense of time" that we create in our minds.

    We imagine the past (show me the past right now?) and imagine a future. We do this to solidify ourselves (small self, little me) in the mind as a separate entity.

    Isn't realization something that will completely make me fearless..that what I expect all the time ...

    No, you keep your human-ness.

    Perhaps you generally won't have fear, but yes, you can still have it.

    You can have any feeling, thought or emotion as you did prior to Self-realization.

    You just know its something that comes and goes, so can not be your true nature, awareness.

    Just be present . Whatever it is that you're identified with will let go of you...

    I agree.

    If Im upset about something and don't yet want to let it go (ie, I'm not done being pissed!), it takes so much thought and effort to keep it up, lol.

    As soon as I relax into the moment...whoosh, it's gone. 

    @yangmilun Maybe stop telling yourself that you are lazy, unless of course, you aren't done holding onto that belief yet.

    the realization that you are pure awareness will not be a thought or a concept.

    it will be known.

    Yup!

    My first awakening was during a video when the guru was doing self-inquiry with a man. Leading him step by step through her own process and she got to the mind blowing part... and wow. 

    ....There was no-mind here... just gone.

    When it came back, it was like-"whhaaaatttttt just happened"...lololol.

    No, but because he needs activities that occupy his time. You can have profoundly simple life that's full of joy and gratefulness. The time only arises after you start thinking about it. That's the point of this video.

    Hello,

    My comment you quoted was meant to be more of practical advice for the poster, not only because of what he said here, but another thread he had started. 

     

    My response more so about the video is here-

    All there really is, is "now" and thoughts of a past and thought of a future. Neither truly exist, but seem to, in thought. All these thoughts though appear..."now"

     

    Maybe you missed it. ?

    Now the real question is can I ever be the entire awareness!!!!!

    You already are and what you are calling "I" here is just an appearance in you. 

    The real "I", is you as your true nature, awareness/consciousness. 

    As awareness you dont need a mind to know yourself or know that you are aware, but you do need a mind and body to experience.

    Experience is intimate to the experiencer, hence why you can't experience through multiple ppl, it's just not set up that way.
