@Gili Trawangan xoxo

I'm just here to say: as if you have some thoughts which aren't spontaneous

@Gili Trawangan essentially saying... that deja vu is what you think it is. it is an experieince of experiencing something and knowing/feeling as if it has happened before. you are asking for what it means or a why/how... there isn't a why/how or any meaning

@Shaun no... you as "shaun" cannot will anything into being. you as awareness is willing everything into being you as awareness willed: shaun wanting cars/planes to be electric and it is happening

@Gili Trawangan the experience of deja vu is exactly as what you have described above. it feels like this has happened before. the answer is that reality is not "linear" reality is whatever is in your current experience this has happened before, the "memory" or belief of it having occurred "before" and the dead-on unshakable feeling that it has happened before - all arise together in that moment, during those 5 seconds. that's all it is. an arising of this experience and then back to your "regular linear" experience. based on how you currently understand reality, my answer may not be what you're looking for. but this is the case.

Lolol

@Inliytened1 I AM THE ULTIMATE CHAMELEON!

it can be quite shocking and terrifying initially that what we call reality.. everything we know to be/exists/ past existence... it is simply.. just a thought/mind... but damn, what a powerful ISNESS... the SUCHness of it all.. the very BEING of existence... it is all "made up" but there is nothing else to contrast it with/against also. there is ONLY GOD who is conscious GOD split up into infinte many... but really all, always GOD the moment of the realization it is known/seen beyond doubt that only YOU ARE. not YOU, the avatar, but YOU. GOD! <3 LA ILLAHA ILLALLAH

so if god is all of reality then all of reality is god a = b b = a there is only reality there is only God just God, Godding away eternally

@Nahm love it

god bless your country... same as my country, Pakistan... everything is going down the drain... but often times, before something "positive" happens... it must be preceded by a large "negative"

@Speedscarlet yes all paths (religions) point to / lead to the same destination.

@Shaun that's exactly it YOU ARE THE UNMOVING that senses and sees all movement. and the silence that senses and hears all the sounds. the stillness thru which time moves. YOU are the TV SCREEN on which shows/movies/life is playing. the TV is always eternal.. outside of time/place which appear on it. these are all concepts of course

love it

@noselfnofun a few things to get the ball rolling... for "noselfnofun", Death is very real and WILL happen. BECAUSE YOU (the real YOU) is currently identified and lives/acts via "noselfnofun's" body+mind, it will therefore ALSO feel and be very real for you in the moment... because "noselfnofun" will feel his death coming and you being identified with the body+mind will also feel it... The whole message is about getting the REAL YOU to see that you are not "noselfnofun" and thus not in/off this world and therefore free from life+death already. (just as during a dream, the body which is sleeping on your bed is free from the life+death which happens in your dream) The REAL YOU however, is not somewhere sleeping on a bed... The REAL YOU is no-where and thus, everywhere... Here's the deal, when you become aware during a night's dream, that you are dreaming (lucid dream) then you know that what you know to be the REAL YOU (sleeping on the bed in your room) is safe from whatever maybe happening in that dream and it becomes all safe/playful. But just think what that would mean... if right now in your waking state you come to know that you are dreaming... where would the REAL YOU then be? or heck, WHAT would the REAL YOU be like? But you are you! You always are you! and how do you know that? you just do. you know that you are aware and you know that you are... that's just it. You are the self-aware pure awareness... you are just KNOWING... and KNOWING isn't located anywhere... it's like asking where a temperature is located. so to tie it up. death is an illusion for the REAL YOU but death is very real for the human mind + body you... WHICH IS NOT THE REAL YOU the whole dance is going from being identified with the human body+mind to the REAL YOU and that process is via death... but the moment it happens, you will see that you were always the REAL YOU and just had forgot about it... like someone looking for their glasses everywhere and not finding them, finally collapsing down in defeat only to realize they were wearing the glasses the whole time and looking/searching thru them for them! analogy here I like is this... from the recent Avengers Movie... Death was REAL for Tony Stark but Tony Stark's Death was an illusion/unreal for the actor (Robert D. Jr) death is you simply removing the mask you currently think to be your real/actual face... so it can FEEL very painful ... because YOU currently truly without a doubt BELIEVE that it IS your face and not a mask even after though, it can still be very touchy but very light... just like movie actors also getting very attached to the characters they portray... there are many times when actors/actresses cry/are very sad upon learning the tragic fate of their character.

@noselfnofun overcoming any fear = seeing its reality fear is illusory often it is the case of miidentification... such that we may find fear/danger in a place where it does not exist, but gives the appearance of danger/fear. take Bob Bob is afraid of snakes... well, most people are afraid of snakes but Bob, he is VERY afraid. He has a phobia of snakes. Now Bob is going for a stroll around his neighborhood and sees a snake in the grass up-ahead. He freaks out and screams and starts to run the other way. Next day, Bob is again out for his stroll and goes on the same path, thinking the snake must have gone by now but he sees the same snake again in the same spot! again he screams, yells and runs away... the fact that he saw it at the same spot and didn't move much or react when seeing him scream/run made him want to go back and see it... when he carefully approached from what he felt was a safe distance, he was surprised to find that he could keep on getting closer and closer, until he started laughing... Bob, who has a phobia of snakes did not magically cure the phobia... but instead he saw thru the illusion. He had mistaken a piece of rope on someone's from lawn to be a snake. with this, he continued on his stroll, not having to worry about the "snake" his fear had evaporated upon discovering the reality of the illusion same thing with death. what makes you fearful is what you project/think about death. death is an illusion and overcoming fear of death = seeing thru its illusion. keep in mind, there are some fears also must be faced to be overcome... avoiding of fears is not a permanent solution. some fears are factual - such as Bob seeing a real snake. with death, what you can come to observe is that YOU cannot die... only that which is alive can die. You are beyond life and death, and thus, death cannot touch you. upon the discovery and as you're getting closer to it, there will certainly be fear due to uncertainty and of the unknown... just like when Bob is approaching the rope-snake... and upon discovering the truth, you, like Bob may also start to laugh

@Pure Imagination thank you for being you ! in the process of answering things, many of my own delusions come to light you will always find this to be true as well. try to read someone else's post with the knowing that it is simply their ego talking and you can see the solution to the core issue of course the answer isn't always YOU ARE NOT THE BODY/MIND but it will allow you to see where you are having similar drawbacks It is all one after all. you are being helped by yourself and i am helping myself and in processes helping myself <3

@Pure Imagination it is very easy to be deluded . but once you see how you were deluded, you don't fall for that same trick again. so there's some good that comes out of it as well that way and keep in mind... you're not going to "find it" as you wrote above... that "I'm failing to find it at all lately." the one who is searching for his glasses while wearing and looking thru them... does not "find" them... he simply remembers/recognizes that they do not need finding as they are always here. also now, step back and witness this one who has the basic understanding of what he is shooting for that is not you. because YOU neither have understanding and nor are you shooting for anything

boom. right on! @Preetom well put and all the while being careful and watchful... and as long as one knows quite well and accurately what one is "shooting for" then it only gets easier and easier

i am no poet i am nobody i don't have a will and I have no hobby i am no human i am no mind i am not hidden but cannot be found try and seek me, you keep spinning around in circles and loops, hollow and true you think you coming for me but I AM coming for you

yupp this right here is a gem. looking at the whole process... your own "path" so to speak.. you can see, it is this ego/character which you are operating as... the body+mind doing the practices, watching videos.. reading books, retreats etc. and then also the key message that you aren't this body+mind... so now watching the above story of the last 4 years.. you have this character trying to end itself... which is impossible... what ends the character is the seeing that YOU are wherever YOU were at the start of the process... as you aren't the body+mind.. you have always been free.. you are simply the knowing of that story. ever knowing, ever now.

@Pure Imagination @Pure Imagination the "you" who assumes there is more does so because that is it's function... and in doing of that perpetuates it's existence. YOU are free from all of that already... just your belief is misplaced.
