SOUL

.....absolutely.

@Shin

It's clear someone needs some more money so the guerilla marketing tactics....

If a thought is untrue, then wouldn't the thought that just being a thought makes it untrue be untrue? Hm

There was a time as a very young adult where this sort of discussion baffled my mind with all the conflicting ideas and the volume of information would serve as a distraction. Although after many years of personal experience in awakening consciousness there's such a degree of clarity it transcends understanding. Now when I encounter these discussions the effects of personal experience in awakening consciousness in another shines through the chatter. It isn't a matter of agreeing about ideas, it is recognizing the genuine nature of awakening that resonates in all consciousness and is not a mental understanding that comes from merely studying.

I don't doubt that.

@Mighty Mouse You have such complete faith in your own doubt that you absolutely doubt another's faith.

!

@alyra Yes, it is quite a bit of food for thought fought though be aware the mind fight doesn't make a brain fart causing heart fraught so letting go will ultimately be good for taut taught.

Then I encourage you to finish barking up that tree. Barking about no mind, no self, no ego or no brains is no sense in no duality, no shit? If all distinctions ultimately collapse in unity then right/wrong, reality/illusion and truth/false collapses ultimately. When the barking ends the silence begins or is that just another distinction that ceases to be in being 'one'?

You are accurate in part, well, just one aspect and not really as you intended but close enough that you may understand more from it. It's really quite a significant revelation and I may have only realized it because of my own personal autodidact path to awakening. Because the 'absolute' in it's absolute form is so formless it appears as 'nothing' even though it is anything but nothing, it's the fullness of everything and missing nothing so it has no distinctions to observe in the same way that absolute nothing appears but is absolutely inverted. How one gets to be aware of it's authentic nature is through it's reflection in our consciousness from our personal experience. This is why no two descriptions of it from different people will ever be exactly the same, similar yes especially if they share common personal experience but it's revelation is as individual as each of us are. Even the way it reflects in us revealing it's nature appears to transform as we evolve mirroring our growth, it's our changing that creates this appearance of change, not it's changing. This is why I avoid describing the exact details as much as I can, I realize it's such a personal revelation only I will fully appreciate it and it may only serve to confuse others without their own awareness of the absolute. Does that make any sense?

@blazed The challenge is communicating something indescribable. Is that an organic free range meal worm fed small farm locally-sourced egg you want me to suck? Nevermind I'm going vegan.

Anybody can awaken to being as long as they are asleep to it, except animals, they aren't asleep to being. Yes, your dog and cat are a zen master always being, what's your excuse? Haha.

@Faceless Gah please stop the spinning wheel my friend it will make you dizzy. I said I'm not about truth, I'm about well being... now... here. So using love with it's characteristics of acceptance, embracing, faith and surrender filling whatever may be the self dispels any fear and creates a sense of well being bringing joy, peace and fulfillment. That's it, got nothing else on it. The details about the "truth"? Well, I'm on a need to know basis and I don't need to know...so..... We cool?

@Monkey-man What is before it....and all during it......now....so be it.

This begs the question to be asked.... how does one know that nothing can be known?

@Faceless The physical manifest is created through love but it is kept through fear. It is embraced, pulled together in love but it won't let go, gripped in fear. This includes self identity.

I don't really watch Leo's videos but i did this one and it's so funny watching consciousness negotiate between the finite and infinite. Being aware of how obvious it is, how simple, it's not the 1 or 1000 hours to prepare for it, it's the it of it, the infinIT, the be now here happens in an instant, every instant, every moment of the seamless inseparable now and I can see it in his eyes, the 'mind blown' is shown. It's so funny watching the realization of trying to justify capitalism in view of enlightenment with how can a finite me take money me from another me to tell other me about infinite me to pile it in bank me to get beans me to feed body me when I am aware it's all me.... how can me justify taking me from me to hoard me for capitalism? It's so funny I'm literally laughing out loud with tears in my eyes typing it. Haha you see it! @Leo Gura InfinIT bean... er... being! Now you get it so don't forget it now as the body impedes being awareness recedes into a memory of infinity. Yes, fire the finite desire to take it's bite so make it's fight or die trying to kill the enlightening eye of awakening. Smothering coals hiding candles under bowls blind shadow screams remember dreams & goals gotta pay the tolls. Yet, hire infinite me so see clarity the feel of eternity's endless wheel unspun with nowhere to run now life's begun. Oh snap, that just popped right out. Maybe I'll call it Infinite Beans, now I need to make finite breakfast... haha

I updated a previous post to add words I couldn't find earlier to describe the characteristic of surrender in 'love'. Which really does draw a distinction between love and fear in how fear tries to preserve separate self and won't allow the embracing in faith of infinite self that swallows up the separate self. Surrender appears as a self-less act by giving away separate self but is really continuing to collect self so it overflows the 'cup' of our individuation. In that surrender there is no limit to our cup, not an absence of our cup which why there is fear to relinquish the separate self because the mind can't see it 'edges' anymore so to speak, it's infinite self. Fear prevents the transcending of separate self to be one with all self in surrendering to the whole.

@Leo Gura Be infinIT! Haha

Haha

Examine.... where does this idea to 'make life matter' come from and what does it mean for you? What are the feelings associated with it? Then break it down even more.... What does it mean to 'matter' for you? Where did that idea come from? What are the feelings of it? Where does the idea of you need to "make" it matter come from and what does it mean? Feelings of it? What memories are associated with all of the ideas and feelings? Do you agree with the ideas and feelings? What ideas and feelings do you associate with that agreement or not? Do you consciously intend to agree/not with them or is it an unconscious impulse? Are there any ideas and feelings about effects or consequences that are related to your agreement or not with them? Will changing the ideas and/or feelings surrounding it all alter it to help? If these are examined and you are made aware of the dynamics you can find your genuine inspiration and motivation to live as you intend for your life. You may find you are contented in what you are doing but expectations from others has crept in to steal your joy, if you aren't genuinely at enjoying it, figure out the actual culprit in suppressing your joy and deal with it. Changes or work with no awareness of what is going on will only make for ineffective consciousness work or possibly create more obstacles. I could tell you how it works for my life but that is like giving you the combination to my lock, not your lock and thinking it will open.

@Faceless If you are looking for truth then I've got nothing to offer you, I'm about well being.

Apparently you said you have the "obvious facts" to come to those "truths", then why ask me? Just enjoy your... um... truths.

Uh, my apologies to have wasted your time.
