Jack River replied to Manjushri's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So any psychological dispute with ourselves is the above in motion. The dispute/conflict needs 1# the entity(me) and 2# “its” experience, and what it wants or doesn’t want in regards to that experience, in order for there to be a problem. Fear/anger/sadness/pain arise through that divison between 1# and 2#. What if 1# and 2# are the same? Then what happens? -

Resistance|attachment|identification in movement. Yep, one unit in motion of self supplying its own structure. -
You are the spiral One “progressive” unit of “movement/time”. Step out...end that movement.

Then I am not either dude. And what does this time have to do with it? The moment we invite time as a means time becomes the very movement that pushes it farther into the “future”. When mankind negates this time as a means, the conditioned consciousness comes to an end. Until then consciousness in unenlightened. -

Look at the feeling/emotion and its association to the word/concept (thought). Learn about its relationship. -

Are you? -

I forgot to add that in... Which includes the focused attention on breath. -

Come get your kundalini experience everyone!!! “How do I” cultivate the kundalini? ? All it takes is time/effort/will/desire. Tell me the way, the method, the techniques to achieve it, attian it please? The more “you” chase “it”, the more it’s pushed away dudes. Leading with assumptions is the same as wasting energy on reactions. Don’t waste dudes? -

Takes awareness to another level dude. It’s a monstrous insight. An insight that is truly whole/total. And it’s surprisingly not discussed here on the forum. When I first encountered it, as you know, it was very foreign to me, but once I saw the whole of it there was an explosion of understanding/seeing. It was and is gnarly as hell dude? -

To meet the complexity of thought from the standpoint that such “things” are separate is to meet the dynamic happening in a very difficult manner. Instead can there be a meeting/approach to the “dynamic now” simply? As in can we approach the dynamic with an awareness of movement/time in motion? It can be a most excellent approach to awareness -

Anger and fear are both different and the same when seen as movement/continuity of the self. All of it is in association to one another. All distinctions of thought content /emotions or the experience/experiencer are actually one unit of movement in time/thought. They are different relatively, as in “things” of thought, but as a whole are one movement of time in resistance/reaction to what is. Thought seems to separate and makes distinctions out of what is whole. Is the cause the effect or the effect the cause? Does an emotion come first or does the thought come first? -

From a place of divison can we approach/see the whole? Does the “progression/continuity of effort/strife of the “me”(psychological becoming/or not becoming) lead to its own ending? Should we start nearer before going far dudes??? -

Are we moving within the limited field of conflict?, and if so, can that which limits the relationship with the ground (wastes the necessary energy), be in movement? It is said that energy can not be wasted. Conflict(all movement of self) is a wastage of energy. So that being said shouldn’t conflict/all divided action come to a stop to touch on the ground of being/nonbeing? Most excellent Questions to get closer to this complete/holistic action? -
Jack River replied to Manjushri's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It takes two “things” (subject/object) in opposition to cause conflict(anger/fear). Is there actually two “things” in opposition?, or... -
Jack River replied to Tony 845's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Or End first then there is THE NEW(the ground). -
Jack River replied to Manjushri's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Anger can be seen as a reaction to fear(resistance to what is). This anger/fear in resistance to itself imples that the “me” has the notion of itself as being separate from what “it” feels/thinks. This seems to be why fear/anger arises in the first place. Through the “divison” between the experiencer and the experience. Without that supposed divison thought to as being true there is no fear/anger. In the seeing that the experiencer is the experience actually as a fact that fear/anger ends. Check it out for yourself though dude? -
Jack River replied to Tony 845's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Resistance/attachment(psychological time). Start with all that dude. -

This will always happen when the image of the past (the self) looks at the person or what is said. Getting wrapped up in assumptions/bais is bound to happen then. -
Jack River replied to caelanb's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
There is no end..once you get to what is considered to be the end, negate that too. Then we see there was never even a beginning. The truth is we are blind? -

To me Allan watts talks are much more valuable than leaning about Buddhism. He talks about Taoism which I think was early Buddhism too. He talks about key points that get to the essence of libertarion. He gets into how the self tries to use effort/control to end itself too. That’s really important. He also goes into other awsome things. Most definitely worth listening too. Not just helpful but fun to listent to him as well. ? -
Jack River replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I agree. Attachment(fear in movement of escape that avoids a state of possible insecurity) brings about the process/movement of identification with an idea that fortifies or validates “my” belief/point of view. Belief imples fear/seeking security in a psychological illusion. -
Jack River replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yep. Again, no sense of our own limitations. -
Jack River replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Ignorance or lack of understanding of our own limits (thought) seems to augment our false sense of perspective as being total/compete. Thought seems to go beyond its own limit due to not seeing the fact of that limit. Seems that without understanding the nature of the self with its fear and assumption based structure, mixed with the tendency for thought to fragment itself, then it will be impossible to ever meet anyone half way. -

Watts was a most excellent dude. I’m not sure how correct his interpretation was of Buddhism, but beyond that It doesn’t matter. He was very very wise and had an outstanding intellectual capacity too. A double whammy ? -
Jack River replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I have noticed this as well dude. If there is attachment/identification which is resistance, there will be a clinging and projecting of what we already know. We gain a sense of psychological security in our own bias(train of thought) like a belief/idea. Probably the biggest barrier to communication.
