SOUL

@Shanmugam It does resonate, I have often questioned some of the 'non-dual' teaching and wondered if it was just adding to the confusion and angst in others. In fact, I am aware of some people who were disturbed by me questioning the effects of it and have taken it personally while claiming they are 'impersonal'. What are your thoughts on it? Does it resonate with you?

@Hsinav There are plenty of topics started already, I did one time but now let others do the starting.

@Shanmugam I'm not making fun of you and I ridicule nobody, that's your projection, I'm just laughing because I find it funny. I asked a simple question about your thoughts on the very content you posted, you refused to answer citing a conversation had quite awhile ago you still haven't gotten over.... that's funny to me. If you don't find any humor in it then that's on you, if we aren't laughing together that's your decision, I'm laughing either way. If you would like to discuss Jeff's words in that quote I'm still opening to hearing your thoughts but that's up to you.

You seem to forever hold onto that conversation never wanting to let it go. You only heard what you wanted to hear, not what I really said. Let it go. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@Shanmugam So an essay you post here suggesting it's something you are trying to convey to others of which I pull out the principle revelation he speaks in it and you think "nothing much" when asked about it? That's hilarious! BAHA!

@Shanmugam There are many more things i find humorous that I do not post about. What do you think about the quote? .... just wondering.

Yes, faith, along with love bring the presence of being to awareness.

Haha

Haha..... hmmmm.

be·lief an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.

Again, this is something that you create for yourself and you believe about your spirituality, it's just true for you and is not a universal truth for everyone.

Baha yea you can try to fool your self but I see clearly the genuine nature of it.

I agree with you. You choose to create separation from wisdom and peace by making an enemy of your 'self' so are left with ignorance and unrest until your own imposed stipulations to have it are met. It's really that simple.

Seeking opponents is creating more separation, seek people to play with not against.... that's a game worth playing.

@tsuki Wait.... argue with me for my own good? Haha, well thank you for letting me be. If that separation and unrest is what you choose to believe then so be it, I choose to have it all in unity and harmony.

Making an enemy within our self doesn't bring peace so create your spirituality wisely.

Still storytelling, huh..... it's a radical deed! Agonizing! No relief! A committed quest! A full time job! Now you want me to tell a story about it? Ok... I will, last night I met a young woman, a beautiful black woman, mid 20s-ish, very smart and curious about life. She was saying how she has lived in various places from a small town to a big American city to even a big European city, a seeker of experience for sure. She was telling me how she didn't feel comfortable in this place she's living now and how she's thinking of moving away, she's searching for something more meaningful, more culture. After we talked about some places and attributes about those places I spoke about the place to visit that would change her whole life, inward. I said find comfort in that inner place, be at peace with being in the moment, find that presence of being, with joy, fulfillment and love of life. Then every place she is, with whoever she is with and everything she experiences will light up to be amazing and special. That savoring the moment and being present in it is enjoying life not just the activities that we are doing. As we spoke about being present in the moment her energy level rose up, mine did, too. This wasn't at a satsang in an ashram, or a meditation circle, it was some random spot not a place of "spiritual significance". It was a casual setting in an awkward in between chance meeting of two strangers passing in the night sharing some authentic part of themselves. The energy in and around us was vibrating intensely, we could feel the hum of it, this moment of awakening was opening up to us and our eyes lit up with knowing, laughing that 'divine laugh'. As it were I had to move on, so did she but before we parted ways she said she had no idea that she would feel this way tonight, even that she could feel this way. She reached out and grasped my hands holding onto them, we looked at each other and continued laughing at the moment. We went our separate ways and I hope this was an insight for her that would inspire her to seek the inner space more often, it's a great place to visit, it's an awesome place to live....haha. I like story time! Baha

Story time! Hahaha

Baha what a story!

Well, even though you have been "learning about enlightenment" and "watching almost every Leo video there is" you still can have fulfillment, joy and peace in life. That might not make much sense at the moment but eventually you can have more clarity of it. Keep in mind that you create your own inner life of your own spirituality and right now it may seem like an out of control and chaotic space. Others will try to tell you what is "truth", what you need, how you should do it and will try to get you to fill that space with endless distractions of their ideas. You are the caretaker of it, find your own "truth" and create in that space wisely. Be at peace.

Hahaha! It's so hilarious!

This thread is an expression of insanity since if all are "God" and no free will exists then this is an example of not being able stop talking to yourself.

If everything is "God's" will and not our will so we don't have free will but we are "God" then we are the one who chooses yet is the divine no one of misperceived awareness of nothingness illusion.......hmmmm

Bahaha so thumby!
