The unveiling of Maya.

What is the most accurate definition of Maya? 

I don't know what Maya is.

The problem with nondual teachings “there is no person” “you don’t exist” is that taken literally, it can be used as a green light to avoid confronting your fears, as well as delude yourself into thinking that suppressing your desires is healthy in the long-term.

“Well, I don’t exist. So therefore, I shouldn’t have sex because that would mean that I’m going back to being a person and existing.” 
What a bunch of nonsense!

Who said all that. I didn't. That's just your mind interpreting what it thinks it read and now it's interpreting what It thinks I said into it''s own words, and now my mind is trying to make sense of what I think is happening inside my mind so I can attempt to interpret it back to you who I believe understands what I'm saying, well in fact there's no need for interpretations because all that happened were feelings of sensations in the body and the body is trying to make sense of what it felt when all that happened was nothing to nobody only a bunch of sensations and energy flowing and minding it's business.

Now that's a reason to go have sex because sex does exist and waiting for nobody to have it because sex is just energy vibrating at certain speeds and being itself and will have an orgasm or not depending on what sensation arises for Noone to claim and the orgasm will either feel good or not depending on the type of non-dual teaching it got from nobody. TA_DAAH!! 

Sincerely,

Ms. Nobody.

Illusion.

Illusion.

1. What makes an illusion an illusion?

2. Who's illusion is it? 

3. Closer and farther are points of comparison.  How is my illusion different from your illusion?  How is it same? What is the identity of illusion? What is the definition of illusion?

That it's not what it looks like or perceived like in actuality.

2. Who's illusion is it? 

My own

It's instantaneous, not closer or farther. Only those who are seeking it can be closer or farther.

A stone looks different depending on how you view it.  Which viewpoint is "in actuality"?

Then how do you know another's?

Please explain. Some people "seek it" their entire life and still don't find it. Why?

When people are treating you nicely with lovely words and understanding, your ego can be deceived into thinking that you've reached a state where nothing disturbs you and you're in harmony with the Universe. True transformation begins then your ego is triggered big time through humiliation and ostracization. Act like a crazy person and see what happens.

Anything which shatters your logical mind.

I don't and don't care about another's experience, because I can't experience it myself.

I don't know. Maybe they are not ready yet.

If you are building something, why shatter that which creates? Tell an engineer to shatter his tools, his education, his past work together to build a bridge.

If he becomes so engrossed in his work that he forgets to sleep, I am definitely going to shatter his tools!

Welcome!

Beautiful! You don't know! Thank you. Love you. 

Welcome once again.

We are not talking about the flower here, but the stubborn rock on the top of the barren mountain. It needs a hard pushing to roll down the mountain, to see the fields and the river.

If you think of other people as rocks, then I can understand.

So then, should we step on it "as much as possible" as proposed by the OP, or just a little? Or should we maybe not even step on it, but instead maybe expose it to the weather a little (unless there is a storm)? 

Fun personal story: my mom grows leafy greens in her garden every summer; one patch is inside a mini-greenhouse, the other is exposed to the weather of the Norwegian West Coast, known for heavy rain. The leaves on the ones inside the mini-greenhouse are smooth and thin, like a baby's skin, while the outside ones are rough and thick, like an alligator's skin. It goes to show that the right form of friction, preferably the natural kind that the organism is built to handle, and in the right amounts, makes a stronger, tougher organism. Now, is being exposed to social abuse really that for humans? Meh.

Bias and limited thinking. Over a prolonged period the one that is exposed to rougher elements can evolve to handle change better.

For example exercise is actually traumatic to the body but it can also make it stronger. Kids born in the lap of luxury turn out spoiled. You have no clue how beneficial suffering is. The average military academy graduate has suffered greatly but will be more responsible on average compared to some sheltered teenager.

Yes, if you dont care about not having friends lol

I'm specifically referring to social abuse. You should read some of the modern psychological studies on trauma (e.g. the ACE study).

Very wrong.

Kids "born in the lap of luxury" will become hypermetabolic, physically attractives and very creatives will kids born in poverty will become smaller and dumber. 

Wolf law is wrong and giga cope.

It's not the people who are rocks, but their spiritual ego, the stubbornness in their mind that they are always right and they are 100% enlightened.

Only in spiritual forums, where seeking Enlightenment is the goal,particularly this section, not everywhere. I don't talk like this in my real life or any other forums or when people ask for help.

The problem with abuse is you can be stuck in it without even realizing that you’re in an abuse cycle. You may cope with it via religion, family, friends… basically distracting yourself from the abuse.

Or not, as those systems can be core to the abuse.

I used to go to a religious school that had a few abusive teachers; I had a few family members and friends who were bullies. A few may not seem like a big deal, but even one abuser can make a huge dent in your life.
