Selflessness is lack of resistance, and the absence of insistence, and is the only perspective that has any clarity.

What does it mean? 🤔 , please elaborate?

Simply to tell you the truth.

Would you say that emphasizing that truth too much comes from the ego?

Interestingly, to me, I think the puzzle fits perfectly. Not that the mind sees the perfection, it can only speculate that from what it knows about the essence of creation. To not see perfection, is to not see the Source as perfect since everything is Source. When the student is ready the teacher will appear is a perfect example of this. Maybe if you look back at your experiences, some of the things you understand now wouldn't have made much sense to you. Its a process, like planting a seed; and if you water it properly, it blossoms into its full potential. Our limited minds are incapable of seeing the full picture because we are a part of the picture. We need a mirror to see our backside but someone else can see it from their angle. Its like you stepping out of ourself to view yourself from a meta level. Most, not all, people stumble upon Spirituality because of suffering and mental pain and most people are just coasting through life believing that when things go "wrong" its just a part of life, which it is, but they don't  question why are things happening the way they are. They just accept it as a normal way of being and go to their grave believing it as such. Most of us, tho, meaning Spiritual characters intuitively know there's more to life than whats being shown to the naked eye so we begin the search to find what we believe is missing. Its just a game Source is playing with itself and when its ready to awaken to itself it will. 

Great Post!! Loved reading every minute of it!

The more conscious you become, the more you’ll realize that ego truly does not exist.

It can. But there is also the matter of skill. Speaking truth requires skill, which takes a lot of experience to develop.

Anyone here who claims to be AWAKE, or to understand what AWAKE is, or what GOD is, or what CONSCIOUSNESS is -- is fooling themselves.

The only one here who understands these things is ME.

This does not mean, however, that I cannot sometimes be full of shit myself. I can. I am not perfect. But not on this issue.

Enlightenment is not AWAKE.
Buddhism is not AWAKE.
Nonduality is not AWAKE.
No amount of meditation is AWAKE.

There will be a lot of bitching and moaning over this issue. But I simply told you the truth.

You've been warned. This is way more tricky than you ever imagined. My function here is to guide people through every trick. But the problem is, they don't want to be guided because they already think they've figured it out. Don't be that guy.

So? Where is the explanation of that? The truth is that now that post sounds quite delirious to me. especially since after those statements nothing incredible has been seen coming out of the mind of the most awake guy in the history of the human being. Still waiting to make an opinion.

We are talking in the realm of spirituality… what is this “real” you speak about! Humans want things to be real, tangible, and logically sound… that’s what makes humans limited.

So, why it's absolutely genius?

[Yimpa]

@Breakingthewall Pulling out all the hair on top of my skull one strand at a time would be wiser than explaining why this post is absolutely genius. 

And no, I’m not Leo, so I do have a full head of hair.

What do you all think?

If you are completely AWAKE, do you even bother to join discussions on a forum? Do you even care to talk about Spirituality? Because Spirituality is the path not the TRUTH.

I don't know what to say, think or assume about that.

I'll contemplate.

It's sad because humans tend to be pretenders and seekers, never arriving, always chasing Spirituality and other ways of feeling good about themselves.

What a trick path we are triving... oh GOD!

Ken Wilber, One Taste:

"Monday, March 24. With the awakening of constant consciousness, you becomesomething of a divine schizophrenic, in the popular sense of “split-minded,” because you have access to both the Witnessand the ego. You are actually “whole-minded,” but it sounds like it’s split, because you are aware of the constant Witness or Spirit in you, and you are also perfectly aware of themovie of life, the ego and all its ups and downs. So you still feel pain and suffering and sorrow, but they can no longer convince you of their importance—you are no longer the victim of life, but its Witness.

In fact, because you are no longer afraid of your feelings,you can engage them with much greater intensity. The movie of life becomes more vivid and vibrant, precisely because you are no longer grasping or avoiding it, and thus no longer trying to dull or dilute it. You no longer turn the volume down. You might even cry harder, laugh louder, jump higher. Choiceless awareness doesn’t mean you cease to feel; it means you feel fully, feel deeply, feel to infinity itself, and laugh and cry and love until it hurts. Life jumps right off the screen, and you are one with all of it, because you don’t recoil.

If you are having a dream, and you think it’s real, it can get very scary. Say you are dreaming that you are tightropewalking across Niagara Falls. If you fall off, you plunge to your death. So you are walking very slowly, very carefully.Then suppose you start lucid dreaming, and you realize that it’s just a dream. What do you do? Become more cautious and careful? No, you start jumping up and down on the tightrope, you do flips, you bounce around, you have a ball—precisely because you know it isn’t real. When you realize it’s a dream, you can afford to play.

The same thing happens when you realize that ordinary life is just a dream, just a movie, just a play. You don’t become more cautious, more timid, more reserved. You start jumping up and down and doing flips, precisely because it’sall a dream, it’s all pure Emptiness. You don’t feel less, you feel more—because you can afford to. You are no longer afraid of dying, and therefore you are not afraid of living.You become radical and wild, intense and vivid, shocking and silly. You let it all come pouring through, because it’s all your dream.

Life then assumes its true intensity, its vivid luminosity, itsradical effervescence. Pain is more painful and happiness is happier; joy is more joyous and sorrow is even sadder. It all comes radiantly alive to the mirror-mind, the mind that doesn’t grasp or avoid, but simply witnesses the play, and therefore can afford to play, even as it watches.

What would motivate you if you saw everything as the dream of your own highest Self? What would actually move you in this playful dream world? Everything in the dream is basically fun, at some deep level, except for this: when you see your friends suffering because they think the dream is real, you want to relieve their suffering, you want them to wake up, too. Watching them suffer is not fun. And so a deep and powerful compassion arises in the heart of the awakened ones, and they seek, above all else, to awaken others—and thus relieve them from the sorrow and the pity,the torment and the pain, the terror and the anguish that comes from taking with dreadful seriousness the passing dream of life.

So you are a divine schizophrenic, you are “split-minded” in the sense that you are simultaneously in touch with both the pure Witness and the world of the ego-film. But that really means you are actually “whole-minded,” because these two worlds are really not-two. The ego is just the dream of the Witness, the film that the Witness creates out of its own infinite plenitude, simply so it will have something to watch at the movies.

At that point the entire play arises within your own constant consciousness. There is no inside and no outside, no in here versus out there. The nondual universe of One Taste arises as a spontaneous gesture of your own true nature. You can taste the sun and swallow the moon, and centuries fit in the palm of your hand. The pure I-I, the greatI AMness, breathes to infinity and creates a Kosmos as the Song of its very Self, and oceans of compassion fall as tears from your very own Original Face.

Last night I saw the reflection of the moon in a cool clear crystal pond, and nothing else happened."
