Being Sober

[ROOBIO]

So right now, in my direct experience, I can see how the world is being constructed around me. And it is self-knowing, self-luminous. It's aware. When I'm looking at the door, the door is aware, and it's just existing as it is without a perceiver. It feels like this light of awareness is shining through every single perception, and it's creating it right now around me, and that me is nothing. Inside my body, there is nothing there, and there's a swirl of this perceptive, conscious phenomena just being. It's like a dance.

The looking is not the thing it’s looking at. And the thing looked at is not the looking.

 

So now what? Everything is not, that’s what. 
 

Might as well just laugh out loud. 🤣 Because ultimately, nothing matters, and nothing cares.

Fear, pain, suffering, the illusion of life comes from feeling and thought. With direct consciousness, you'll be able to see through that wispy ghost, merge into everything, disappear into nothing, and just BE

Nice!

The darkness - what you called fear, pain and suffering - is aware, too. But it's "upside down" in a sense: Directed against Life.

We will never be free as long as that darkness persists; as long as there are parts of ourselves that are lost within Darkness.

So there is something to do: Making peace with every part of ourselves. Ending the war within ourselves, so that peace in the outside world expands, too. That goes way deeper and is far more difficult than just to "disappear into nothing". It takes everything we got and then some.

Only then will the Divine truly awaken. Not by leaving the dream, but by realizing it is the dream.

But it's still deeply lost in it, because there are parts you don't even know of yet that it didn't want to accept. We're so many layers deep into dreams in dreams, and so on. It ran away from itself so many times... and now we're here.

This is the chance to finally stop running away from what we are and embracing the fact, that ALL is our own Creation.

There's no escape. And only in losing the hope to do so there's the possibility of True Peace.
