You just provided a two-word assertion. What question or communication could you make to promote inquiry?

What about goals and life purpose? 

Heaviness, limitation, not freedom.

Deeply knowing this, surrendering is inevitable. Anything and everything belongs to God, so give back and be completely free.

limitation

But what if your goal is to overcome something you feel is limitation so it’s actually moving you towards more freedom, or maybe you’ll say we should drop the idea of having limitation to begin with?

Look at the bones in grave. Do they attached to any beliefs or idea? Give back the mind. Be free not as you, but as freedom itself. Be / free.

Do you truly live by this or is it more a saying, an ideal?

You decide. I am just done with holding/controlling, so much suffering. Owning something (including the body) is so much suffering. So, Fuck it. I gave back. İf body dies let it die. Freedom is priceless.

Be open™. For real. Not as a pretension. The implicit arrogance behind this kind of spiritual talk is tiring and does not seem to help much - except, perhaps, in making oneself feel better.

Can you let go of your attachment to this kind of talk and thinking? Question something. What about "What is surrendering?", for example?

Do you feel like you spend a lot of time suffering today?

Search. And after be witness of the searcher.

Can you drop that? I'm curious why you post these things. They can be pithy at times, don't get me wrong, but I can't help but suspect that you're stuck in a spiritual worldview that gets in the way of actual questioning.

One's realization happens that there is not actual person in body, just so called voice or mind chattering, then there is no need to drop, ideas arises and falls, but no owner, including dropping as mine having something.

When you lose everything you are free to do anything.

Constantly looking at death is essential in spirituality. Death is here, a micron below the surface. Looking at death doesn't mean thinking you're going to be reincarnated or become a god; it means accepting total dissolution, the end of control, of form.

What you are, the energetic pattern of body and mind, is a reality. There is a will to be, and that is what you are, and denying it is useless. Every breath expresses the will to be in this way.

This answer above what death is, end of controlling. That's all.

No. This is a belief or attachment to words, which functions under controlling such as giving meaning / imagining.

I see, so the "self" died, but why does this paradoxically make you free to do anything?

Okay, we lost him. xD 

I seriously doubt this is your actual experience.

It's a fact described by words. Are you breathing or not?
