“i've forgotten more than you'll ever know”

“It frightens me, the awful truth, of how sweet life can be...”

"To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying"

At least this was hugely important to me as a serious seeker. I was never satisfied with any answer, always wanted to dig deeper. Until one person told me this.. ..There is a perfect theory, or rather a best, most accurate theory, maybe you have heard of it, maybe you haven't. Maybe no-one has discover it yet, maybe it was discovered long time ago. But no matter what, what ever words that formulate the best possible theory of the nature of reality, how ever optimised it is. It has NOTHING to do with reality. Just keep that in mind. Concepts are not bad or wrong, they can be great help, they can be interesting and funny, but caveat, it will never has anything to do with reality aka truth. Namaste.

The best piece of advice I've ever heard! There is only two things you need to know in life.. *Be nice to other people *Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter in modern times

Politics is an ego game. You might get interested in politics, but if you start to investigate politics you understand quickly that your political view are very naive. You have good ideas, but good ideas, wisdom and common sense have no place in the political game. It's about being a devote and blindly follow your leader, and the leader of a party has only his own interests that he looks after. I am a liberal but in the real world liberals are the most dangerous politicians. Use your higher understanding to be compassionate towards others and forget about politics.

Well, I'm fully aware that my thoughts are nothing but projections. It has nothing to do with truth. I learn that from you! But it's great that this is a place where you can share them, be it compliments or polemic arguments. As long as we know it has nothing to do with absolute truth we are perfectly ok I guess!

“You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet, because I don't like the word. I'm a trapeze artist.”

“The truth was obscure, Too profound and too pure, To live it you had to explode”

True! I will. @Nahm has almost 7k posts but I never seen one single time he taking part in polemic discussions or arguments. Yet he has that radical and clear sight. And he is one of few I believe that truly loves good art/music the way I do. He complimented my Dylan thread and he explained the painting I shared above in a mind blowing way. He also interpret the song "Positively 4th Street" by Dylan in a way that I like. I guess I just wanted to share my appreciation! But you're right, I should be me, and no-one else! It's not a bad thing to be inspired though!

You are right! But formulating it in that spiritual idealistic way is not helping anyone. (Even though you are right)

If anyone is consistent, with a radical non dual understanding, without ever pushing it on anyone else, it's you! Since I started to be more serious I see how important it is to always have a calm, careful approach in every interaction with others. Your mild attitude, yet radical in your dedication towards truth inspire me to be a "new" Nahm. Great response to @MisterMan And your explanation of the da vinci(Michelangelo?) painting was so sharp and mind-blowing. You really have the capacity to pick up truth in art, be it, Bob Dylan or Da Vinci. Namaste.

What makes up a room? The walls one might say. But the walls are nothing but a limitation on the one room(which is infinite, and therefore no room at all). Think about it, nothing ever happens within any wall. Everything happens between the walls, inside the space of nothingness. The word "walls" doesn't just describe real physical walls, but is also a great metaphor to all contents of mind. *Thoughts are walls that limiting infinite consciousness to be a "room" within the walls of thoughts *Words are walls that limiting infinite intuition into a "room" of understanding. Every word in this OP is nothing but a wall. But we sometime needs to create a "box" within one feel comfortable/familiar with exploration. But remember, not a single word(wall) tells you anything. Just as you never make love inside a wall, it happens between in the space of nothingness. If you pick up anything at all from this tread, it's because you let the nothingness between the words speaks to you. Some time in your life, when you least expect it, maybe when you forgot all about spiritual nonsense. Maybe some years from now when you're just having a happy moment, and then, BOOM, the nothingness will whisper to you.. The nothingness that is between words, the nothingness that is between thoughts, the nothingness that is between walls.. The nothingness that is outside of time, the nothingness that is outside of mind, the nothingness that is outside of the self.. The nothingness will whisper to you in a mysterious way.. I'm not nothing, I'm open(to everything)

Spirituality can be somewhat dry after a while, too technical in a way. We like to cut the BS and go strait to the bone, that's great, the direct path so to speak. On a contrary, we need storytelling as well. It's a great way to communicate truth sub consciously. Legends, myth, fiction, fairy tails can all raise above any conventional teachings. A fictious story can communicate truth more effective then facts and anecdotes taken from reality. Stories can highjack our conscious mind, and we become highly involved due to excitement, intelligent dialogue, great dramaturgy. Great stories put us in a state of alert presence which is a great window into the listener/reader that the story use to tell secrets and spiritual truths sub consciously. Prabhaker tell stories sometimes, we all should be better at that. I'm from a nordic country and one of our fellow neighbours in Scandinavia, namely Iceland has great tradition with mythology, old Icelandic stories, fictious godly and spiritual characters. Their storytelling tradition, often from mouth to mouth, is more important then anything else in the Icelandic culture. Maybe that's why they seem so happy and calm. They have better contact with higher enlightened realms. If you have a short story to tell with spiritual significance, please share it!

Yes, that's exactly my point! Is my broken english that bad?

That's great! I let others tell you how to go even deeper. Go with flow and enjoy your new understanding. And if you ever fly "too high", go spend a week or two with your parents, and you will be grounded again.

-I'm infinite (the nothingness says to the walls, doors and windows.) -No, you are a room(the walls, doors and windows tells the infinite)

@Dodo You're right, but let them have the argument, we are above all of that. People like to argue and force their opinions upon others. But that's not for us, we speak like silence without ideals or violence. @Dodo In the dime stores and bus stations, people talk of situations, read books, repeat quotations, draw conclusions on the wall. Some speak of the future, but we speaks softly, we know there’s no success like failure, and that failure’s no success at all! Let us rest were we belong dodo, among the gods, where our consciousness can't get affected from anything. Have you noticed that in the most nasty wars, the surrounding nature is perfectly indifferent. A flower on the ground in the middle of a battle zone, couldn't care less about the war. Untouchable! That's is what we are! You, me, Prabhaker, Loreena and Pinoccio NTO! (The former spiritual elite ) Together, the five of us make up the greatest line up that Actualized.org will ever know. You got the creative mind, the capability to think unconventionally and outside the box. And a natural high awareness to start with. Loreena has intuition, social skills and female beauty. A necessary kit the hold us all together. I have humor and a high understanding for subtle art(sing/songwriter, classical music, abstract paintings, sculptures with enlightened proportions) Pinocchio-NTO has the capacity to beat mental masturbation dudes in their own mind games, although he despise all of that philosophical argumentation nonsense. His consciousness is naturally high. Prabhaker has all signs of enlightenment. Often truth arrive to the threads when he enters them. He was one of the most dedicated devotes to Osho that ever lived, now he stand on his own two feet, living a life in solitude, peace, happiness and share it just for joy, creating a better/happier world in the meanwhile. People might be jealous of us, but we always stand together, the five of us, secretly we know we are above them all, without looking down on them. We are.. "The compassionate 5" (The elite of spiritual truths and compassion)

@Prabhaker How can people stand working for mainstream media? Factory of spreading hate, division, conflict and negativity. If there anything I would like to extinct, it's that.

Words! So true! Tnx.

@Mikael89 Don't listening to Tolle, he will only delude you. You don't need mind/thoughs in any situation. NO mind is the most powerful and joyful state in ALL situations. Go find out for yourself and wake up!

denying of awareness is a thought! Just as recognise of awareness is a thought. ANY thought is a movement of time. Mind is dependent on time, but truth is TIMELESS. Therefore you can't use the mind to arrive there. The whole question about awareness existence or non existence dissolves, not because there is no answer, but because there is no question. Your question arise from duality/self/mind/time, you can only get a "matrix-answer" to that question. Because from absolute perspective, there is no such question. It's so simple it's crazy. Wake up!

@Dodo One word: Beautiful! Symmetry, numbers and magical nature. That's how God whispering to us. Love it!
