Watch distinctions. I’m referring to the limits themselves. I’m not limiting anything but simply pointing the the very limiting factors(what is). Each particular fashion, path, religion, thinking or non thinking all fall within those very limits. This is an example of the exclusionary nature of psychological evolution. Choosing between things of the mind(between the opposites) only perpetuates confusion, contradiction, conflict. This is effort in action(inattention). Hehe....Freedom first my dude. Or as a great friend once said don’t go beyond that which one has not yet begun.

That’s an opinion people adopt yes. The reality is analysis, evaluating, is resistance and therefore push compassion off in time. But compassion is without time(the past).

@peanutspathtotruth you as well dude

To discuss things amongst each other is only possible without effort as well. Notice how every step we take is away from what is. Manifests in the form of “help me”, “what should I do”, “how do I” and such. Not seeing that by doing so, we get caught in the trap. Trap of duality.

The self will say effort is necessary or not necessary, the self will not move without concluding on either or...this is what binds(enslaves).

To ask for help is itself resistance (effort). No one can help us (guide us). It takes a mind free without dependence to see what is.

No, it’s seen when observed in ourselves.

Many people say they understand intellectually/mentally, but that isn’t understanding. That is resistance. To see this is simple, to simple for a mind in resistance to what is.

The self is effort. The me tends to move within the field of effort(time) because that effort itself sustains the continuity of the me(time). There is an inability to stay with what is by a mind seeking security in dependence(abstraction-time) or becoming or not becoming. Many say effort is necessary or not necessary. That is besides the point/fact. The fact/reality is effort is resistance away from what is.

Compassion is when observation without evaluating/examining/analyzing-effort is no more. Acceptance/condemning fall within the field of time(measure).

Imagination is the you(subject-object). Imagination= the past(time). When time ends, the creative is. Until then it’s all invention(modified from the past).

Do-nothing in this case implies Effort/duality. To move away from what-is perpetually(effort-duality)

Yeah the momentary seeing is still partial/fragmented. No center is of a different realm altogether.

Duality? Align your ego with truth by ‘practice’? Cultivation to truth? Is this Dualty resistance?

Who is the entity who is going to work on its character? As in a duality?

Oh ok

To choose between Enlightenment and Life Purpose is itself implies confusion/contradiction/conflict. To the conditioned mind choosing either or is silly. The conditioned mind can’t know other than it’s actuality/fact/what is. So to choose either one from an unfree mind is kinda silly right? So then what we say?? Maybe intellignce doesn’t choose,...maybe observation without evaluating/applying effort is the first step of the necessary freedom heh.

Just an illusion? Reaction/will/choice all born of time right? As well as the conclusion “just an illusion”. No will is free. Freedom first. Effort-resistance denies death. Die now, not later. Until moment to moment death to the past all action simply perpetuates further confusion, contradiction, conflict.. namean dude

Never heard of this wu-wei. Interesting, this wu-wei has a nice ring to it. Is in reference to undivided action?

So every action we take until then is reactionary? Does the person denying they are the pain sustain suffering? Maybe those nerves are dulled by consistently denying/resisting what is. Maybe that’s the cost in a life of action influiced by reaction.

Truth is action. Either way what is, is truth. The question is do we live as truth in the sense that there is no distortion/resistance to what is from moment to moment(the now). Do we live in reality, or do we hold/contain reality within ourselves? Distortion/illusion/self deception is bound to happen when we feel we live in reality. That is to live dualistically. But when there is a seeing that truth is all there is we see that reality is in us. That’s the difference...truth holds reality. Reality doesn’t hold truth. To live true means we hold/contain reality and act from that place of wholeness/order. Which means there is a comprehension of the whole of reality. Then there is no reaction psychologically/spiritually to what is(truth). To see/understand holistically the underlying order in disorder is order. Truth can then put order in reality.

It can be seen that All actions born of ashes (the past) imply no awakening at all. To act in accordance to what is dead is to live as a dead being. And to do so means there is never dynamic living. To awaken from death means to meet each moment without that dead content(conclusions/speculation)(me). To wake from the dream and then to go back to the dream is still born of ashes/reaction to the past. Can we meet each moment without the past? Do we see how much the past interferes with the now? It’s amazing to be aware of the continual ash cloud that is perpetually influencing our day to day living.

I’m personally not goal oriented. Since a few months ago I have realized that I have continually acted from “my” own ideas/concepts/theory’s(thought) with regards to action in life. By doing this all my actions and non actions in life are a result of that. To act or not act due to these past conclusions (my own personal past judgments/bais-prejudice) is to act dualisticlly, and therefore not act wholly. To act in accordance to the past is to be caught in the web of contradiction/fear. What happens when there is action that doesn’t have its root in the past? Isn't that to be integrated, undivided, non fragmented? This can be assured, when one lives whole action is instantaneous(now). There will be no “well there is no self so I don’t need to have a life purpose or I do”. That is acted on a past conclusion(concept-idea). If there is an actualized ending of time(self/fear) then there is no choice to act or not act, but there will be just action of itself. Total and holistic Action doesn’t choose. For me I’m not concerned with living a purposeful life or non-purposeful life, but one of total and complete undivided action. Wish me luck dudes?

Only divided awareness is trained, cultivated, and an energy exerter. The amount of energy needed to maintain steady consistent awareness is demanded, but also the amount of energy derived from awareness is brought about in that non reactionary awareness. This awareness demands full energy, and replenishes that energy as well. As well a self feeding loop of unlimited energy.

I feel ya. Having to respond with thought itself makes it more difficult. He once told me he has to set a timer when goes on rides, walks, and such. Otherwise he will wander into oblivion haha. It happens to me from time to time on the water. Then I realize and the thought of Sharks swimming around me sets in
