Arrogance and Self Importance Is Keeping You Asleep

There's really no one asleep but to the dreamer and the "I" thought it surely appears that way. The individual that claims to have a life and is thinking thoughts and is making decisions is a dream, an illusion. Excuse the pronouns and the verbs and the language as there is no other way of expressing this without sounding robotic and mechanical and Advaita and non-dualistic and whatever other concepts and labels you guys have for this. I know nothing about those things and happen to stumble upon those terms. What I'm saying here is what I have come to recognize; and if you feel I'm wrong and you know the Truth then there's no need to defend your stance because the truth needs no defense and I'm not claiming this to be the truth nor trying to convince anyone of anything.

You believe you came into this world to defend yourself. You believe that your parents had you and now they raise you to battle the world and then die and leave you here to suffer. You believe you have to figure this out for your survival or else you will starve and suffer and not have a good life. How's that working for you. Even if you have bouts of happiness and joy, it doesn't last. Why? Because you are in a dream. The dream is forever changing that's it's nature. It cannot help but change, you cannot help but have inconsistencies. That's what a dream is. 

Ever notice how you're never fulfilled, ever notice how there's always a problem to be solved. Ever notice once you get something achieved there's always another thing to achieve. Ever notice how the rich doesn't go away on an island and live happily ever after. Ever notice how most celebrities are still unhappy and some apparently commit suicide or are on drugs. You will come up with stories about why this happens; but they will all be stories. 

Some of you say you are God but still suffer. You will say you are God suffering and that is what God is doing. God is suffering. You will say God is evil and that God is the devil. You will come up with all these ideas and stories about what God is and say you are God doing these things. God isn't doing anything because God is all those things, but I will not repeat these lines over and over and over. 

You have addictions and you can't control it. You go to therapy for this addiction. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You get off alcohol but now you're addicted to coffee or sex or porn or drugs or whatever. You come on here asking for advice on how to stop doing this and how to stop doing that. You are asking people like yourself who you have dreamed up to believe are just like you and who can help you.

If you really think you are special and the world revolves around you, that's arrogance and self-importance. If you really think other people are fortunate and you're not, that's arrogance. If you think you're fortunate and others aren't that's arrogance. If I really think I'm giving you a message that will benefit you or is of any value to you, that's arrogance and self-importance.

Ever notice how you can't stop doing something you want to stop doing. Ever notice how we have to meditate and do processes to try to stop the body from doing it's thing because we think we are in control. This is not saying to stop doing those things because whether you stop or continue, is what will happen. I still do things, still suffer, still get mad, still talk shit, still watch videos, still do whatever but I recognize it's not me doing anything it's just happening. I don't fight it, I don't build stories and find excuses for it, I just let it be there with the recognition that that's what's happening. The energy is gone in no time because that's what happened not because I surrendered or did anything on my own accord.

If you say, why bother posting, you're assuming there's someone posting. This is energy appearing as a post. There's no one here to post or not post. Do you think if I had the senses to decide to post or not post that I would chose to post this stupid nonsensical post that I will get flack for, no I would choose not to. Do you think i'm posting this to help or to bring value, no because there's no value for the individual. You are not gaining but losing from this post and the individual just wants to gain. You aren't even losing because there's no one to lose. This sounds like "of God, here goes again, no doer, no chooser, nothing matters" but that is just you perpetuating the dream. I'm not trying to wake you up here, i'm not even trying to do anything. The only thing that might happen is the dream recognizes itself as so. You are not dreaming. You are the dream. Life is unfolding as we speak. This is life right here. Me writing now is life, whatever responses I get from this post will be life happening but my thoughts about what the responses may be is just my imagination, which is also God. You cannot not be God because there's nothing but God and God is no-thing appearing as everything. Even as your arrogance and self-importance. The ones who claim not to be God are the most arrogant and most delusional and the ones who claim to be God but still think they are making things happen and can change the world are the most delusional and the ones who do neither are the most confused. Then again that's just my ideas about all that, as is of no substance and means nothing.

Replace the word God with any word. Doesn't matter.

Please read your title. And please read what I bolded.


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

Doesn't matter. The message is nothing anyway. If I correct it or don't correct it, doesn't make a difference. There's no meaning to it.

It's too funny how attached most folks are to their precious self-importance. People take themselves and their fancy ideas about life, the universe and everything * sooooooo seriously... it's HILARIOUS. Just look at this forum; you should think that the pursuit of spirituality is all about lowering one's sense of self-importance, but nope. If anything, it seems to get catapulted into hyper-drive in certain cases.

But of course, it's all part of the divine (clown) show. And it's a hoot to watch! xD

---

* And this even though the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything was clearly and unmistakably given a couple of decades ago... but of course, this type of stuff always just goes in one ear and right out the other, doesn't it?

You have made meaninglessness into an identity and you don't even know it. It's a phase, we'll see how long it lasts. Also there is a meaning to it. If there wasn't, we wouldn't be able to communicate. 

Meaninglessness and meaning are the same thing. When you say there is no meaning, THAT is meaning!!! Now to someone who doesn't know English...THAT would be meaninglessness. So you see, you are communicating meaning while calling it meaninglessness and this is just mental game of self-deception.

The point of saying things like its an apparent illusion, is to wake a person up to what's going on, not to have their ego attach to it and keep repeating that everything is an illusion with no meaning. When someone asked Tony Parson's if the appearance has no meaning he responded "I never said it doesn't have meaning." I bust out laughing and was like "Tony they are so scared to be deluded that when they realize it's an illusion they will keep repeating it to themselves because they are afraid to fall asleep again.

Nobody walks into a movie theater and states "It's all an appearance, it has no meaning whatsoever." No, they enjoy the movie and individually, create their own meaning. There is no difference between meaning and lack of meaning. Construct awareness is the realization that you always create meaning, even...in silence. 

You cannot escape duality with non duality because non duality....is duality. The only way to escape duality, is to combine non duality WITH duality. Otherwise....you become foolish....or as the non-dualists say "An apparent fool."

These are just words. We give meaning to words. There's no escaping anything. Like you said we cannot escape duality with non-duality because non-duality is duality. If I appear short standing beside a tall person and i appear tall standing beside a short person I will still be the same height. If I appear wise to a fool and I appear foolish to wise person, doesn't make me any wiser or any more foolish, both collapses and I'll be the same as I was before. You see, it doesn't matter what you or I say, what is, is and no amount of word play can change that. Duality and non-duality are the same thing, neither one is real because saying non-duality implies there is duality, which is just an illusion.

If something real couldn't emerge....then you wouldn't know what real is. Because you KNOW what real is....real exists. Saying everything is real and there is no illusion is EQUAL to saying everything is unreal. That is the point I am communicating. You are lost in meaning and are denying it.  

Reality is and Illusion and Illusion is reality, Everything is Pure imagination, Everything is Real, are ALL EQUALLY accurate statements. If it weren't so, all of this wouldn't go down the drain if I took a chain saw to you. Your next question needs to be, what does it mean to say something is REAL. What is REAL? If you can answer that, then you have full understanding.

God knows what REAL is, it takes an infinite intelligence to know what REAL is, and the present moment is PROOF of that.

Ok, so my words are an illusion appearing real. So that's reality. It doesn't matter, like I said about word games, it changes nothing. If what I'm saying is hogshit, then it's hogshit. Doesn't even matter if I have full understanding or not because the man up the street probably doesn't even understand his wife but we will end up the same place when this apparent dream is over or whatever you want to call it.

Oh yes I forgot, you're a fully self-realized ascended master who is totally unphased by earthly matters and is riding the eternal wave of divine bliss 24/7. My bad!

Talking nonstop about the infinite perfection of existence and then getting all worked up by some schmuck who is poking fun at him... man, you crack me up.

Yeah, you could talk a bit more about your realizations and bit less about how stupid and ridiculous is the people here.

I have to admit that that type of attitude of non-constructive criticism dislikes me, but not because it affects me personally, but because it reminds me of the typical father who insults his son, that type of vibration, I don't know if you know what I mean. that father who, in order to feel good, needs to put his son down and gives him little drops of approval to keep him wagging his tail in his presence, like a submissive puppy. I ve to admit that this attitude provokes me...let's say not sympathy
