  3. I haven't seen anyone talking about this so I thought I would share this insight, if this helps someone then that would be great. Enlightenment or any kind of awakening doesn't happen within the dream. By "outside the dream" I don't mean some other dimension, but Absolute Truth itself. In earlier enlightenment experiences you may get glimpses of Absolute truth, but thats not exactly the right way of expressing it. It is more like Absolute truth is glimpsing itself. In enlightenment, enlightenment becomes enlightened, not you. The false self cannot pass through the gateless gate, not even a microscopic inch of it. My point is that you are not working towards enlightenment. You are letting enlightenment become enlightened. Dream exists within duality. Non duality(Absolute Truth) cannot exist in duality. This includes you and the world. Only Absolute Truth remains because its the only thing that is true. Hope this helps
  4. How the hell is your grandma 65 years old?! Mine is above 70 and Im 18
  5. The insight doesnt have any practical implication really, just be aware that enlightenment happens outside the dream. How can you be anywhere else other than now.
  6. @Ether Peter Ralston says that contemplation should become a part of life, not something you do in your idle time. So yh do consciousness work all the time whenever its appropriate.
  7. Who is experiencing the 5 senses? If the 5 senses belong to the body?Whos body is it...Where is the body located at? Do the content of the senses have any reality of their own? Does something that is truly true needs evidence?
  8. Everything in the dream is false if taken to be true. Reality is One, not dual. Life is just that, an appearance.
  9. You are assuming that everyone exists Objective reality doesnt exist, only subjective does
  10. "Dream exists within duality. Non duality(Absolute Truth) cannot exist in duality. This includes you and the world." Did you even read what was said lol "Only if we believe that words could accurately or inaccurately depict reality would we ever concern ourselves with speaking ‘correct non-dual lingo’ – otherwise we’re free to use language in any way we want; because we know that we aren’t trying to capture reality in concepts – we’re merely trying to invoke an intuitive sense of what the the words could point to in direct experience."
  11. @Sukhpaal Rather than being afraid of seeking and never attaining enlightenment, be afraid of not doing anything and living in ignorance. The price of truth is EVERYTHInG Stake life upon truth
  12. I like this quote: Step by step you get ahead, not necessarily in fast spurts
  13. I think the best representation I found of the carefree attitude was leo's example of a summer vacation given by school. I remember being very carefree and enjoying life during those times.
  14. Ofc, you cant go back to sleep once your awake, unless you mean physical sleep not metaphorical.
  15. I see. Ive traveled a lot with my parents to foreign countries when I was young. Im 18 currently so maybe when I get older, I can travel on my own.
