A lighter brighter voice in radical nonduality

[Wilhelm44]

Radical nonduality is not a big deal.

It's just the immediacy of what's always already the case.

The cool thing I'm discovering now, is that instead of trying to feel through heavy feelings, 

simply to make a subtle shift in focus, and notice how this immediacy is already receiving it all with love.

@Wilhelm44 Absolutely beautiful 🤩 

 Unconditional - all allowing Love….perfect in every immediate moment even in it’s seemingly imperfection. 
 

Thanks for this pure immediate grace.

They’re like little sparkling diamonds in your pocket, you didn’t know was there, but was there the whole time.

I still love that phrase: "This can appear as anything"

@Mellowmarsh  When you say there is something terrifying about having no choice but to be aware of all the hardships etc happening here, How do you reconcile that with  " Unconditional - all allowing Love….perfect in every immediate moment even in it’s seemingly imperfection. " ?

Being terrified is allowed. It’s okay to be terrified. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s nothing wrong with you, everything is allowed to be unconditionally. Even torture and abuse is allowed. Therefore being aware you are conscious can be seen to be a curse because it’s terrifying. Being swallowed alive by a boa constrictor snake would be terrifying for me.

[Mellowmarsh]

It’s both terrifying and beautiful at the same time because the snake has to eat something to stay alive.

Something wants to stay alive so this something has no choice but to eat itself. And in doing so keeps itself immortal.

 

Its like a self sustaining feed back loop.An energy feeding upon itself.

That would be crazy terrifying.

Just over 20 years ago I went through an attempted car hijacking, where a gun was held to my head.

The sheer terror was unbelievable.

I managed to escape unharmed, and when I got home I literally downed a bottle of wine.

Adrenaline was so strong the wine had no effect on me.

(I have heard stories of soldiers who claimed they never felt more alive than they did on the battlefield.)

I too was held at gunpoint while walking home from a visiting the library, I later found out by the police that the gun was loaded , he was an escapee from prison, he was after money for drugs. I won’t go into details but I survived because there was another man walking his dog at the exact same place who managed to diffuse the situation.

 

I remember the moment as feeling a sense of surreal calm sweep over me even as it was simultaneously terrifying.

@Wilhelm44 It feels like a coincidence that we both experienced a gun to our head. I understand this happens to loads of people.

And also a coincidence is that 44 is my house number. My mother died on the 4th and I had 4 children. The number 4 is very dominant in my life.

I too have heard about that as well, and also how prisoners of war who were held in camps were able to escape their situation by going into their own mental mind space which felt comfortable for them.

All those things happened to me too, including 4 4, And my name online is also Mellowmarsh too (jk im fkin w ya... That drives me nuts tho, like... "oh my name is actually all the things you are now" WHILE you are in the middle of talking about it... its more than enough for a little crazy making... or wen everything goes array, while you are feeling turbulence... i just ignore it, or try to, if it happens)

[kavaris]

I cant count the # of situations when someone was like, "Oh im actually the thing now", like... Fk... Yous surely know wat im tlkin bout. or yous mightve forgotten (n/m ignore this second post, i went too far w/ the sentiment / joke reveal)

Yeah it's surreal. 

(I later heard from the police that the same guys tried to take a bicycle from another guy in the neighborhood. This guy put up a fight and they actually shot and killed him for his bicycle.)

I'm sorry about your mom. Both my parents are still alive, so I don't know what that feels like.

Been on my to do list for ages to read Viktor Frankl's stuff, but somehow not getting round to it.
