what does he need to DO in order to end his search and find the glasses?

in the end... whenever that "end" maybe. what's being looked for is "found" by realization it was never lost - exactly in the same way where one was looking for his glasses - all the while wearing them the whole time. so ultimately, yes, whatsoever you're doing, any effort, to look for yourself is precisely what's keeping you from finding yourself - yet, it is also exhausting the "fuel" which drives you to seek yourself. that fuel for seeking is not infinite. once exhausted it brings one to rest... a total giving up of the search and in the moment that seeking is given up totally, the goal is achieved. same way if the person looking for glasses searches his entire room, his whole house - 4 rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, lobby, living room etc etc... gets tired of searching and finally crashes down on his couch... and as he is sitting there, letting out an exhale... he happens to see what he had been overlooking... the glasses already in-front of his eyes. so don't try to stop seeking because you have heard that seeking is opposite of the goal. true stopping of the seeking is not a doing. it is a happening, and it will happen when it's meant to. till then, take what you can, there are shortcuts you may find along the way that can bring you closer to the end of the search.

@Ellenier will the reader of the book ever find himself in the book? directly find? the book can only point you back at yourself... the issue is that we attempt to find ourselves within the pages of the book... but that's impossible. we are the ones reading. the reader is outside of the book he is reading... if a book had a page which was a mirror, that can be the best pointer back at yourself... notice how even that would be an image of you. but it will at least show you where it is you are. you are already where you are. you are with yourself. you are yourself. the answer to WHO AM I is not verbal, experiential ... YOU are the answer itself. YOU in your alreadyness. you, right as you are. not the body-mind you. the you-you that you are.

@deso because you cannot stop life. It is continuous and unending. The attempt to "end" life puts you much more deeper into the misery for the simple reason that you think life can be ended or not continued

@VincentArogya @traveler @LovingYou god bless you all. much love. xoxo. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

Thankful "forever" is just a blink of the eye in the land of eternity

"whereas we are able to experience consciousness?" because that WE you wrote above is not the human-body... it already IS consciousness itself. consciousnesses experiences itself just as the whole-body-being (whole) experiences the body and not the finger (part) same way, consciousness/we (whole) experience ourselves, not the soonhei/an young being (parts)

@NorthNow indeed. only awareness. it is all and everything and nothing and something. ONE at a time. just like you dream one dream at a time when you go to sleep at night. the infinite is experiencing them all at once. consider the infinite-one like you who is the entire body. you feel the feelings in your fingers, feet, face, etc... different places. but you are the central feeler of them all. but from POV of the finger and foot etc. they only feel the feelings of themself. the finger will feel only finger-feelings and not in the foot. the foot will feel only the touches of the foot, not the finger/hands. but YOU (the one who know yourself to be, as the one in the body) are feeling the finger and the foot and all else.

@An young being well. to answer your question simply... it is "yes" but really... "stories" etc are just concepts and ultimately it is all ONE GIANT INFINITE Story. ONE infinite story with infinite parts/sub-stories.

@DivineSoda indeed the answer is relative. it is and also is not - depending on which POV is being taken. in the exact same sense as this: do characters in the book have free will? absolutely: no. they will do what the author of the book writes for them to do. relatively: yes, they have free will. the characters think about what they will do and make a decision. freely.

god is existence. everywhere you look, it is there. it is experience/perspective/reality itself. it IS before it's cut into pieces and analysed and conceptualized. it is the ultimate superset. it is all the sand (formless) and out of it, all sandcastles (forms) are made.

@knakoo you never really "lose" the stream of awareness if it's being tracked enough in your experience... even "death" in this life will have you wake up a few weeks or moments before that moment of death. there's no espcaing aliveness - it is your very nature. your life itself is a huge trip. who is there during the life, during the trips, during the in-between. you are that. be only that and exit the levels. then you becomes the levels. and not someone in the levels.

@Winny the one who says "i'm the awareness" is NOT the awareness. "winny" is writing this. and asking questions etc. awareness is aware of the writing and the questioning.. the conceptualizing... it's all a divine play. spontanoues ultimately. but from your relatative POV you very much have the "free will" you are free to take any action you are able to - but you're not free from the inevitable effects/consequences of those actions.

Inevitable. It's by design. It's actually not "paradoxes" until we start defining it and breaking it down. All definitions exist with their opposite. You call a certain movement "up", you create the opposite, "down" And so on. Paradoxes because it all loops in on itself...

The awakened sleeper. Learning to lucid dream.

i'd be in love with myself totally.

Truth is what seeks thru the eyes of the seeker the more you search the more you weaker can one ever find oneself via looking thru a telescope? i guess if it curves and bends in space-time and comes from behind you looking into the telescope or some mirror reflecting. BUT not directly never

@dimitri ? indeed

@Cyrene yes. you can get to that level whereby you can be consciously creating each moment of your life. frame by frame. your conscious-level needs to have expanded enormously for that. as @dimitri said, the script writes itself you are the one-script, the more you realize this, the more you return to your author-like qualities/power and the more the script, writes a script in which the one from whose POV this one-script is looking becomes the shot-caller and conscious creating center. ultimately, your entire eternal experience will become one unending lucid dream... will you ever kill yourself in a lucid dream? you be the decider. it is eternal, and you will never again lose your lucidity. eternal creation and beautification of the endless worlds you will give birth and rise to

money let's you enjoy and engage in all experiences and for the most part, karma free in a certain sense. without money, one would go steal food/clothes - karma. will get caught/arrested/punished for it. with money, you can go and buy as much food/clothes your money allows you to, without one bit of a worry or karma... yes, the food you eat has the bodily karma so better watch out there. but that's money for ya we seek experiences, grand, fun, as much as we like, and without having to worry about it or have it limited in any way. money is that ultimate currency in this realm... but there's a currency which trumps even money itself... it is the end result, it is the goal, the reason for wanting to experience something... we have strong desire to want to experience something because we want to get rid of the wanting to desire for it... we can do this in 2 ways. seek out and end up having that experience OR drop the desire for it directly. use a thorn to remove the thorn you've been pricked by and then discard them both. both methods lead you back to the center - peace - a state of desirelessness. this is that end goal. the highest currency. the ultimate desire - desirelessness... something which can never be taken away from you because it is what you are. be who you are.

Who is it, that is trying to be me? Who can make such an attempt and never succeed... No effort is needed to be me. All effort and energy is wasted. Already All and already One. Already whole. You slow down your walking as you gain weight... Be light... Be like light. Has no mass and you will reach infinite speeds. Be at all points in zero time. Don't pick any fruits... Don't buy any clothes. Less is more. Less is a lot more. Nothing is eternal. Just window shop. Just watch the show.

27 pages of posts confirming solipsism is true... self talking to itself... unable to digest this solipsistic truth

@zeroISinfinity haw you doin' babey???

agreed. the concept or idea of it certainly is. you cannot choose to do or or be desireless because YOU are DESIRELESSNESSS itself. it's another name for you. it is being centered in your very being, each moment. and the rest of it gets taken of automatically and more magically than ever before. like a flower grows, so does your body. you will eat, drink and breath as needed when centered in your being. much better than before even the center of the hurricane is calm, still, unmoving and peaceful and it accomplishes the whole of the system just perfectly
