This hopelessness, suffering, dependence on others with there information/knowledge. All this means fear wants to escape itself. It’s looking for answers, but doesn’t want to stay with the prob. Just like in that movie fight club. When Tyler poors the acid on nortons hand. Norton wanted to resist by blocking out the pain wth his imagination. Resisting is conditioned response/ reaction. And that reaction feeds the loop fear that prevents freedom. Just a shity example

Are you suffering?

Illusion arises with fear running from itself. Freedom means not being caught in the continuation of action/reaction or fragmentation.

Illusion arises with fear running from itself.

Only when it is pursued brah. Actual Freedom is the absense of the pursuit of freedom. The absence of escape from what is. Illusion means we are seeking an abstraction and not facing the fact. Slave to fear and always trying to escape fear. The more the escape the more we feed fear.

I feel ya my man. I with you there?

Same for me but I didn’t feel dead inside, but the opposite brah. I did the opposite. Me too. My parents are wealthier than shit. They say they live there life purpose but they are miserable. I never been a life purpose dude. I’m beach bum through and through and I don’t see that changing soon. I live an RV and couldn’t be more thrilled about it...I will continue to live life a surfer and die a surfer.Life purpose has it’s place for some. But so does life without the need of purpose. That’s just me. Anyway my purpose is sharing freedom bombs for others now. I have recently been free’d from my cage. Now I want to share it.

Me too. But I went the other way and was the opposite of critical. I feel ya though. Reaction to experience is the same one way or another. I like your threads @Serotoninluv . You seem like cool dude.

Right man. We tend to cling to what we already know. Then we are not open to anything new.

Fear, defend, attack. You got it dude. Yeah man. Didn’t expect it here. It’s ok though. Maybe the unafraid will balance it out?

You know I didn’t really expect the subtle attack when I signed up on the forum. I thought It would be a pretty unbiased atmosphere. Got to say it has been a little rough lately dudes. Has it always been day if the dog environment in the forum?reminds me of elementary school sometimes

Not look down as judgemental but it’s an Awareness sees all of maya. It sees how the entire trickery of maya is performed because there is no reaction. As in respons of thought which determines experience. Only identification with maya is there this reaction response of thought/experience.

F that man !! Throw me in the ocean ? float till I drowned or get eaten by a shark

Resist what is..nice dude

I think I’m getting you dude. Concentration is reactive. And that concentrated attention cant go beyond its own limit of conditioning. Only awareness being unconditioned can look holistically at the concentration-reaction. Is this kinda what you mean dude?

Fosho dude. Experience, thought, self, really all the same. To see the whole of this is amazing man. And actually all of that deadness isn’t actually carring. Thought, experience, both being fear in resistance to newness or anything not in line with that accumulated thought/experience. Identification clings to old/dead, and FEAR means there is not real carring for whatever.

Nice man. To not be fooled by the magic trick is crucial dude?

Fosho man. Action followed by experience is divided action. Nice. Just recently saw that. I will dude. Thank you.

thanks for respons nahm Surf time??

So there is undivided awareness. No suffering and such. I get what you mean. Alone but not isolated. Fosho brah?. Cool way to put it.

@Nahm you know, no more divided action.

As in Nondual awareness actualized.

I knowI mean is there freedom without this feeding fear in “your” life?

@Nahm so from nondual awarness there is no feeding duality right? Like in daily living
