@PsiloPutty You mentioned Lora's ego as being what induced fear.If Lora is, right now, willing to let go of the limitation, illusion, regardless of what you call it, then ego is not holding her back. Because it isn't an "ego" choice. Then, she is making the correct choice for her.

@PsiloPutty But the ego doesn't want anything. The ego is a concept in a limited/dual experience. It's connected to all of the universe. If what you were saying were true, it would mean that you want Lora to think that.

@Leo Gura Doesn't an actualized person have agendas?

Saw this on http://enlightenedwithoutguru.com . As long as we are looking to "get enlightened" this will only remain a mental and abstract concept that cannot be attained. The reason I believe it cannot be attained is because when you realize and embody the state of enlightenment it will not nearly resemble that mental concept that your Ego created, it will be something that perhaps cannot be explained nor expressed. The Catch 22 is that you cannot make enlightenment a goal that is to be attained in a non existent future. However you can focus on enlightenment in the now, an ever present goal so that every action or non-action you "take" in the present moment is infused with the intent of becoming that which you already are: an enlightened being So that tips the scale, right?

This might seem too deep, but, the part you talk about emotional problems. Is "emotions" the problem? If not (in what you perceive), what makes that a problem/s?

Actually when I was depressed as a teen, I had a "ban book" list for myself which included mainly spiritual and philosophical books. That does work. the illusion indeed is a paradox...

This is an opportunity for real personal growth. The path is directionless. It's not good or bad.

They're all just thoughts, right? It's like you're in the Matrix, and you are helping to feed the system (like how people are just batteries in the Matrix, remember). You're feeding both sides of the conflict! Not computer guy. Not any other people. You! If you work on the conflicting thoughts first, then these problems will diminish downhill... If you have to, besides meditating by observing thoughts, label the types of observations you have about them. A member on this website, Shu, for example, put his chaotic thoughts in four-preparing(waiting) for, reasoning, trying, worrying But only do that after you know you're able to observe your thoughts in a quiet place (or with music, whatever helps)

This is for if you personally are interested in channeling: Ok, first you might want to really study the process of channeling/channelers in general, though. Check out some channeled messages. Compare messages from similar "sources" (e.g. Archangel Michael) in other channelers' writings and communications. One that's crossed my attention recently is Andrew Bartzis. Go here: http://andrewbartzis.com/shop and check out his process, towards the bottom of page.

When they put the "you are here" marker on a map, it really seems like you are here. (lol)

@Leo Gura Useful "meta" work Love this idea.

@RichardY sure, people like us don't typically do that.

@RichardY Interesting. Yes, that's something that gives me feeling, too, but it's usually more like a mystical awe (also the room is huge and as far as the eye can see)

Well I cannot tell you how you can feel "human" again! That's how I feel most of the time, too! It all depends on your perspective. Try to be really conscious of when you are behaving this way, in a communication situation (such as when you were talking with friends). Be aware of when you are acting, because that's all you're doing! You're not separate in thinking this.

Wow, that's an old meem.

Reduce this post into a single topic so the situation is more clear to help with.

Also, starting out at one minute can be an excellent start for meditation the way you describe.

Yes, this is true. I can be more clear! I have come to the understanding that past and future are only projections, in the dual-world. Also that the "Present Time" is you:it's all You are, really. You could worry about something you did in the past (ex.dropped a small pet as child) and then try to make the past look better. Is that a sign the past is true? Do you not think about the future using exactly the same technique as you do the past? The Present is different from the past, no? If you do not perceive a difference, then you are just in The Present (all of these things are, right now). This is a really educational discussion, so I thank you.

What is the reason for posting the thought/thoughts. What if people try to summarize them or put some into a single category?

That's ok You can choose to think in that way, and I can choose to think in a way in this moment. This is a journey of one.

My favorite idea of "yours" of Love for "ones" on your forum@Leo Gura

But is trump the problem for him? Or an outer projection, in reality A projection: that illusion. It's making You question the fact that this is not outer. No, it is within.

Don't take my word for it! I don't believe Id have reached this knowledge without Alan Watts videos.

Have you ever absolutely known about something that wasn't your self? Are you sure? Are you one? Can you expand to be over one? To do this, do not think there is a center, and don"t think something/someone else is a center(to think you are all you are, you believe you are "the" center. see previous sentence)

@alyra The only way I am able to describe it now is to go through the process is which the rest of you is aware of this. There will be nothing positive or negative for you to be concerned about anymore, for you will know in time all is with you, and "under control", in other words. (This is also a kind of non-duality)
