You’re welcome.

Everyone and everything in its place. No judgements here.

To see integrity in others, you have to "be integral" yourself.

All right. But this is not my thread, and people get triggered with my writings. Why don't you create a thread so we could continue this discussion there, and be polite and respectful to other members of our community. Alex, good luck to you, my old Friend. Hope you will feel better.

I agree, lets finish this conversation. Sometimes it does not lead to anything. Better be loving and using other ways/mediums to convey the meaning to each other. Experience is the king! Words are nothing. Much Love.

Absolutely you are creating me. I do not have any perceptions. Please wake up, I am begging you. I am tired to argue with you for years!

Very simple....You are creating this "I" who thinks that everything is BS. There is no you at the first place, when "you" see it, it feels amazing.

Share, please....

"I" am constructing you as an interlocutor right at this second to only fall asleep again and create this woman who has a personal life story and a name. This is crazy and mind's game. and...in all honestly, I love it! hahahahahahah You are right, thanks for waking me up. Phew, no need to argue and prove any points. I am talking to myself all this time.

@Amit Sure, I will try hard to explain. There is only one perception real, only one, and this perception is YOURS. Look around, feel your body. Your perceptions are creating this chat, me, room. You think you are talking to a human being?

I know it hurts the identity, and mind tries to invent the universes and others, why do you think "people" go through an existential horror when awakening happens?

Conceptually, yes, there IS! Factually, no, there are no others. Period!

Perspective, levels, us, world - conceptual thinking. Period. Your mind creates is right now, you are just not aware of it. Right at this second. There is only ONE thing that exists, and this thing is YOU ( call it perception)

@Amit Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t write it, correct? You are just a pixels on my screen. There is no me or you, no others. Remember what we are doing here: deconstructing reality! I will post about my 1h 52 atma vichara I did yesterday. don’t switch the channel…

@vibv The problem here is that you think that words point to something in the real world, but there is no real world. There is no consciousness that exists and can be spoken of. Words only point to created concepts, to themselves! 😊❤️ There are two levels of understanding: conceptual and factual. There is nothing but perception that lies in your direct experience (this is a fact not a concept!), the rest is the conceptual understanding. In the context of the dual thinking we can say " there is a perception of (any) experience, and only this "thing" aka perception creates the illusory idea of reality. Unfortunately, I fail here to express it with the human language.

You can go to my profile and read about "my" perception of "myself". I write about it very often.

Then don't cry when your "fun" will be over, remember "the feature" and move on. Because people only want and desire the good things from "the feature" and they reject suffering. Suffering is a part of "the feature" and it is important to remember it.

Ignorance is the big issue.

please read carefully what I wrote as I've never mentioned the words "ending life".

The answer will depend on what you mean when you address to me as "you". Elaborate on that and I will answer your question.

if you say so....

@Rafael Thundercat can you please elaborate a bit more. what are you trying to tell me?

Tomorrow will never be the same as yesterday, and yesterday never felt like today. The fundamental principal of Maya that it morphs and changes so fast! In this “world” there is nothing and no one to cling to. The nature of your feelings, emotions, sensation is the void. It does not mean that they should not exist, however the main thing to realize is that you should not do anything with them. Just observe and let them go. People is your mirror that shows you the parts of yourself you must work on. During the day, catch your dreams and thoughts. Notice them. What is the major part that takes 90% if your thinking: relationship, money, success, self-development, etc. It is your biggest attachment. Food for your brain, therefore suffering. “Thou shalt not make into thee any graven image; do not worship anything or anybody blindly”. And we are constantly worshiping our thoughts more than anything, thoughts are tasty, they feel pleasant. Mind’s fantasies put people into depression. What we can do throughout the day is noticing our thinking patterns and slowly put attention on the body, or any external stimulus to come back from annoying thinking, becoming more aware of here and now. Practice it every day and you will see a huge difference. I used to have an alarm on my phone that helped me to emerge from thinking, relax and return to awareness. You can choose the frequency and set it however you want. As soon as you hear your alarm, stop for a moment, and get in touch with external environment: look around you, feel your body. It feels amazing to be able to drop this massive weight of thinking and not to worry about the future. Here and now! Always fresh, always new, always joyful. And really you do not know what waits on you around the corner.

I understand what you are talking about, so be conscious enough to see that fun will be replaced with boredom as this is one of the fundamental principle of reality (Maya) . And once you are ready to jump off from the "carousel of life", your practice begins.
