ramna maharashi and many others use the word SELF do they mean Brahman / The True I / The Real ME ?

Bless ?

@AlldayLoop that's the usage of the word in a different context.

@MuddyBoots you're right you can say it in an infinte # of ways... as long as you know what is being pointed to with each label/word you choose. consciousness is everything and physical matter is a product of consciousness physical matter is everything, and consciousness is a product of physical matter eiofjwojief is everything and OOrjFCC is a product of eiofjwojief lemon turtle is everything and Rubik's tissue is a product of lemon turtle like watching a movie... you can choose subtitles in many languages... as long as you know what meaning they are pointing to and (you understand that language ) then they are all valid. but yes. all these are concepts. taste the concept! like reading about a ice-cream flavor and then finally TASTING it. taste will be beyond all the words/labels/concepts you read about it. BEYOND in the sense... that it is out of reach... not conveyable... not describable with words. TASTE is KNOWN

i am thinking this thought ohhhh, i am not the thought! i am aware of the thought the thought plays itself. thinks itself. mind tries to get the mind. chasing its own tail. i am always watching this dance... at one time, it was as if i am also dancing... but i am simply watching the dance. and without my involvement in the dance. the dance loses its glory i am not the forming of these words or the one seeming reading them in my mind i am the one who hears i am the one who sees i am the sensor which senses and thus knows I AM there is no thought process of choosing which happens for me to write any of this it is all a spontaneous dance of words before my eyes and your eyes and all of our eyes abstract words forming together elegantly as they must so that they make sense as required to convey the message which needs to be given to no-one and everyone for there is only all of this but in all of this there are also others who seemingly think they are separate from all of this there are no characters without the movie and no movie without the characters heads and tails left and right up and down all are and I am all is within this I AM and I AM ALL OF THAT yet stand apart from it

@Shanmugam very nice!

Trying to awaken "everyone" is like going to Disneyland to prove it isn't real and convince children to go home... It's as violent to awaken a young soul enjoying the illusion as it is to force an old soul to conform to it.

enjoy your current view. wherever you are. your sitting in your seat on a passing train. there's an upcoming mountain with a breathtaking view. the passengers at the front of the train will see that view first. but it will eventually come to you. if you sit in anticipation however, you will lose sight of what's in-front of your right now which a beautiful lake in a valley with nature spring all around... enjoy the ride. as a passenger in a train in your seat. the view before you is the only thing you have got. embrace it fully and yes. milk it all for everything it is worth! a secret: embracing and milking your current view gives you a ticket to the front of the train...

universal GEM # 1 <3 also @pluto the mirror analogy i find is so elegant... because it is indeed so simply no to be confused with smiling via face smile with your soul feel your smile-happiness and then watch the reflection and don't smile in anticipation of the reflection... playful anticipation is okay... like waiting for the firework launching in the air and waiting for it to explode smile because you trust that it will and already is on the way to happen

@Salvijus WHY-Questions are never really truly answerable... WHY do you like the food you do? WHY is your favorite color whatever it is? and most of ALL: why the heck is the sky blue?

the enlightened person would be Tom Hanks, the the one who has mental illness would be Forrest Gump. (Forrest Gump, 1994 movie) @Ibn Sina another the enlightened person would be Leonardo DiCaprio, the one who has schizophrenia would be Teddy Daniels. (Shutter Island, 2010 movie)

@MuddyBoots hey Yes. Certainly. What you call "physical reality" is made out of consiousness So u can say it's the same thing, yes Consiousness is the clay Physical reality is the object made out of clay Don't go thinking about the "solidity" of the physical reality. Yes... It is "solid" But just like ur dreams at night, u punch a wall, it will be solid... But it is made out of your consiousness Consiousness is everything.

@Schahin yes. All is devine plan. You asking this question Me answering All of it. You must play your part

@laurel "Ships don't sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."

@Schahin well... you'd be shocked to find that even right now when you think you have control... that's only an illusion of control during a psychedelic... you're pulled back from the experience such that you know that you have no control. you are only aware of the on-going moment. you're simply watching... but if you think you are what you're watching... it can be quite terrifying... surrender in this knowing and you have see the light and beauty and awe, all of which will also be out of your control

@FoxFoxFox bask in the Self <3

winterknight! zindabaad!

@FoxFoxFox love you FOX!

love is the answer love is all you need <3 <3 <3 love all of you Me's

it is a LAW which means it's always at play. without you being aware of it or the mechanics of it. like the LAW of gravity... not many know about Einstein's theory of general relativity yet gravity still affects us all the same. about the Law of Attraction ... it responds to your feeling/state kinda like a mirror... what you get in your experience is how you're feeling/vibrating at a deeper/subconscious level. you feel great/love/peace... your life attracts more of that. keep in mind: "the reflection in the mirror never smiles first" and the universe does not speak English... it speaks/understands vibrations. ergo the SEE IT, FEEL IT and MOST OF ALL, BELIEVE IT... trust the process. surrender in the surety of knowing that it will be and IT WILL BECOME do not expect results overnight. one needs to build traction thru deepening belief and conviction without any doubt... then miracles start to roll

@How to be wise essentially YOU are detaching from the sense of do-ership. keep in mind. the mind/ego is ONE movement... and it was always doing its thing on its own. you having the illusion of control only.

is that what it is? losing yourself in the moment totally... where the attention isn't zero-ed in on any 1 particular part/abstraction of the experience. but the whole of it... and YOU have no knowledge really of the contents as you're simply taking in raw experience, moment to moment. ? and if there is some conversation taking place... it's sort of like you're day dreaming or zoned out... yet when it is "your" body's turn to speak... it speaks on its own accord... just like while driving, the body drives on its own after you drive enough times... or like riding a bike... the mechanics of how you're operating a car now as an expert is unknown to you... (effortless action) is that what unknowing / not-knowing is when it comes to totally being in the moment? YOU do not know what is going to happen next... yet the body/mind is an active participant in the next moment while a task/role/words of its own. i ask this as I find practice of going within myself during regular interactions and not just in quite meditation sits. i feel as if i am zoned out... yet i am talking and replying back to the person i am speaking with... but have no memory really about what was just talked about... is having little/no-memory also part of unknowing? One finds one does not need to remember and all intelligent action simply arises as YOU recede more and more backwards / within.

@Nahm hmmm Is it not thought+Belief = creation of Reality .. for that bit of consiousness? In this case. Absolute total Belief... Totally fearless... More like cannot wait to blow himself up in anticipation of what's to come sort of belief.

@winterknight great work!

@Aakash dunno... BEING for me is understood in a visualization-sense (it's not the real deal, because visualization is a part, not the whole) but think of a 3d cube of reality... floating in space and that BLOCK of reality just being that cubed-block, yet morphing/moving from one moment to the next... the morphing/moving is occuring within its stillness... this is essential. BEING is what is seemingly resulting from it. this makes it all messy. cuz words/concepts... sounds/vibrations are being used to communicate something which cannot be done this way. like me trying to tell you what Kit-Kat tastes like with words.
