Nothing important is happening

8 posts in this topic

We are just like the grass growing and the salmon spawning, just like a wildfire or disease spreading. 

It's not crucial or important. It just happens.

It doesn't matter if it continues or stops.

It doesn't matter if reality is understood or not, or if you keep trying 

The fame and fortune won't matter or eating healthy and exercising. The meditation, yoga and spiritual practices neither.

Nothing will save us, not knowing, not enlightenment, not not knowing 

It's totally hopeless, but in this understanding there is also a sense of relief, a relaxation glimpse, a sense of unconditional freedom maybe.

An invitation to inevitable hopeless freedom 


“Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.” — Eckhart Tolle.

"I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I've been knocking from the inside." -- Rumi

 Nothing will Save us from what ? 
if you mean death then yes but there is a higher intelligence that runs everything. When you sleep ..what keeps your eyes closed?  What digests your food right now ? What makes the earth orbit around the sun and around its axis? The ego self has no participation whatsoever in these processes yet something else is doing everything.


 "When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly."

-Leo Gura.

I love that life is meaningless.  An insignificant life is the best life to have.  Who the hell wants to be burdened with universal meaning? 

It also frees me to find my own meaning and purpose.

Why do you think that’s the case? You made serious existential claims about life without explaining anything

Imagine God appears and gives you a choice: your penis will be sliced thinly with a bologna slicer, then you will eat it, and then you'll be slowly roasted on a grill with your whole family. Or, option B, you can go to the cinema and then have dinner at a nice restaurant.

Which option would you choose? If the answer is: "I don't care," then yes, you don't have a self and nothing matters.

All of these are stable processes that occur in reality. The universe is a process; everything is a process. Processes occur because there are no limits, so what is possible appears, combines, stabilizes, and then disappears.

Absolute intelligence is the impossibility of incoherence. Reality is absolutely perfect in the sense that what is not perfectly synchronized does not exist. There is no one directing the spectacle; God is not creating; it is creation itself that creates itself, emerging from the source, which is the absence of limits.

The absolute is a well of unfathomable depth, which, having no limits, is. And we are that. Being open to it is scary, but when you get used it's absolute freedom
