  1. There is no you to become awake. There is no point. Everything is as it is, for no one. You have no control, you do not exist. You the person will never get to the end goal, it is an illusion. Everything is already what it is, there is only preference when there is position. What IS does not care what appears. Right now you are what you seek. If there is movement towards something, that is what is. If there is dissatisfaction or boredom appearing, that is what is, appearing as that, totally complete for no one. The person will have resistance to this message, because it doesn't fit into the person's story of what this is. Some will say that what I am talking about is spiritual bypassing or avoidance of god realization or whatever. What the person can't see is that its whole journey is an attempt to escape wholeness, or call it god if you like. Looking for God realization, whatever, whatever, etc. is an attempt to avoid the fact that you are totally hopeless. The person is not even recognized by wholeness, there is absolutely no seperation. There is no one outside of god or wholeness to know anything, it is wholeness for no one. It can not, not be complete, because there is not two.
  2. Imagine you're a hamsterwheel. A hamsterwheel turning by itself. Within you, a hamster spawns. You begin to identify with the hamster and you (the hamster) are now seemingly making the wheel turn. The hamster runs and runs and runs, the wheel keeps turning. After a while the hamster gets tired of running, it wants to know why.. One day the hamster hears something called non duality. It hears great things such as liberation, merging with god, bliss, union, absolute love. This makes the hamster excited, this gives it hope. So the hamster starts running again, it runs faster than it have ever ran before. It is determined to reach this thing/state, it is determined to realise non duality. After years of running the hamster suddenly forgets that it is running and falls of the wheel. What is left? The wheel, turning. The hamster wasn't doing anything, it wasn't getting anywhere. Everything it strived for was an illusion. It's whole life, it's whole story was an illusion. The wheel was already complete, hamster in it or not. You were a hamster, you felt all of it's experiences, the tough times, the good times, the realness of it all. You were sure that you were getting somewhere, that you were on a journey. That you were real... But just like that, the hamster never was, and the wheel keeps turning ?
  3. The ego is not the one who jumps away when a bus is about to hit the body. The body will usually jump away by itself. The ego is the one who ask "should I?" - Jim Newman (paraphrase)
  4. Yeah over analysing is a pretty common byproduct of picking up lots of non dual concepts I would imagine. I too am prone to over analysing when uncomfortable thought patterns and physical sensations show up. The overanalysing/trying to get rid of it, is what actually fuels it/makes it "real". If the thoughts doesn't attach to a personal story, it will flow right through like every other thought. But patterns of thought/deep held beliefs are tricky, as they seemingly attach to something unconscious/something that doesn't allow them to enter, and therefore doesn't allow them to flow through. When I say loud it can mean all forms of thought. Images and past memories can be loud to, in that they cloud/limit perception. When thought totally ceases, it is quite surprising/shocking. You realize non of your stories are real and all there is left is this unknown field of sensation appearing.
  5. Yea Ive been there for a while. I guess you could say, the ego is slowly dying into what is happening. Do you get these huge transitions from loud thoughts to absolute stillness? I get these at night sometimes and it has made me realize the actual power of thoughts. The ego is an all engulfing trance like state. Awakening is literally like waking up from a dream. The stories that was put on top of this "isness" simply falls away. What is left is the total unknowingness that this is. This is the opposite of what the ego wants. The ego wants to know what this is, because knowing creates meaning and security. This can be terrifying, as there is actually no reason to why this IS. Its total anarchy.
  6. You can not figure non duality out. There is no separate "I" to be "=" the "universe." A better pointing would be there is just "I", or there is just "universe," or even better: there is just what is. Non duality means not two, it is a paradox for the person because the person experiences itself as separate to everything else. In reality there is no paradox, there is no separate self with a real story, there is just the formless appearing as whatever is happening. Formlessness never actually become form, it can only appear as such. Much like changing images on a screen or waves in the ocean. Everything is complete, always, no matter what wave appears in the ocean or what image appears on the screen. Complete; it contains experiences of incomplete. How could you use any understanding in terms of thoughts to figure out what is already? IT IS ALREADY. Anything that appears is by definition already accepted, it is already allowed in. Thoughts of responsibility for the whole universe is appearing in this. Taking a shit is appearing in this. It's this, what are you gonna do to figure that out? How are you going to find what already is? The quest of trying to find it would only happen if an experience of a separate self trying to find it happens IN IT. I went on a tangent, excuse me, but it is not totally unrelated to the topic, as what you're really looking for is what is. Nothing wrong with looking for higher levels of consciousness or huge existential answers, but it has nothing to do with non duality.
  7. In "mahadamadhi" you bathe in love for eternity. It's a perfect balance between everything in the universe. It is all experienced but is simultaneously untouched. From my experience in mahasamadhi there was no time, I was in mahasamadhi forever. Eternity. After a while (sounds so contradictory) I had enough and got sucked back into form. In the world of form I was in mahasamadhi for about 10 min. You could say the universe went into a single point and was singularity forever, then exploded into the world of form again. For this to happen it had to localise itself in a body, as soon as the person was back, the whole world was too. What apparently wasn't realized by Leo was that the resistance is part of mahasamadhi. It is resistance and surrender playing with itself for an eternity. You take the whole universe with you in mahasamadhi, but the whole universe can spring into being instantly from it too. If the world is apparent, it is what is, if you rest in mahasamadhi it is what is. There is nothing for you to do, this is always complete, always home.
  8. Bruh, did he just let him take his chi so easily??? Why oogway whyyy? Oh the other is king fu panda. I got to watch these movies again, they are too good
  9. My dad played for Manchester United when he was younger... just saying.... I've also met Cristiano Ronaldo personally ????? I feel like I'm 12 years old again, bragging about this stuff lol. My main passion is making music. I love creating something out of nothing and seeing the different pieces coming into place making a whole, full of life and emotion. I was a huge football fan when I was younger, but I sadly grew out of that. My memories of it are great. Another passion I have is awakening new perspectives in especially my family when they have problems. When I can listen to their problems with no judgement I can see the relief and love that they feel just by being heard. After the feeling of getting heard, they are more inclined to listen and take in your advice. My sister is anorexic, and we had a real good talk yesterday. I cant pinpoint many other passions, maybe a passion for friendship and laughter. I love laughing. Who doesn't hehe.
  10. You dont. Maybe you havent outsmarted the devil like you think you have. He takes you when youre not looking.
  11. You are already absolutely selfless. Of course a person cant be absolutely selfless, that is a contradiction in itself. SELFless. Thank God you're not a self, ever, even though it appears that way. Time to drop that need to be conscious of your selflessness all the time, that is incredibly selfish of you ?
  12. Bro if we talk plans for the future, having no idea what you are going to do, we are in the same boat. Difference is that I dont have all of these negative thoughts about what is going to happen. All is good, take it one day at a time and notice that all of these thoughts are just thoughts appearing for no one. You are not your thoughts. You've probably heard this many times, but that is because it is true. See them as clouds passing by. You are the sky on which they appear.
  13. Guess @VeganAwake was right all along! Get shitted on haters!!! In total seriousness, think you should keep expressing your love and vulnerability that is prevalent in videos. That is what touches one to the core. It doesn't matter which avenue you choose. I love you <3
  14. Really killed the vibe there... hehe, was just getting fun. Love you
  15. ?? Be careful that the people booty licking you on here, seeing you as a spiritual headmaster supreme authority doesn't get to your head. It could blind you from the pointings you are giving yourself through all of these "delusional" people who have 0.00001% the consciousness you have. Btw not related to your comment here, that was funny
  16. It's like you deliberately overlook my point just to be right. I've made what you just said very clear multiple times. Btw that is a shitty metaphor I came up with on the spot don't start picking it apart like that ?
  17. Yall are getting boners for experiences, not realizing what's right in front of you. It is like fapping to porn, with your model wife next to you
