seeking_brilliance

For me silly. We can be one, or not at all, or whatever. Who cares anymore? Just write, for me (and you). Have a living dream about writing something, for fun, drawing upon the endless stories you've dreamt before. If you wish, wouldn't want to tell ya what to do

I have absolutely no idea.... Isn't it awesome?

@Hulia @Hulia I definitely am not the best example to follow... What comes out in art is a pure expression, whereas I live daily life with still a heavy atattchment to self character of @seeking_brilliance. I'm on a path of authenticity, that's all. For me, dropping charades extends beyond the charades of the character, but also all the nonduality speak. It's all charades to me. Honestly sometimes it gets really annoying and feels better to not think think about it, like you said ?

@Hulia if you write a story to a painting I'll write some music ?

@Hulia I don't know what to think of that either ? why so blank?

Misty Maze Forest If someone asks how long I've wandered the forest, I would have no clear answer. Not that there's anyone around to ask… The Misty Maze forest is near endless to those who get lost, and large enough to never cross paths with another-- yet teeming with ambient life and hidden beauties to discover. In keeping of our customs, everyone enters the forest when it's their turn. Those who emerge on the other side are given new clothes, a roof, and a family to raise if they still hold their youth. (…Or is that something I've made up since I've been here? Wait, what is at the other end of the forest?? At this point, only one way to find out…but I digress…) In truth it feels as if I have been on this path forever; trudging down the same weathered boardwalk for ages on end, never quite knowing which direction to take when given the choice. At times it's exhilarating not seeing what is around the bend--at others, terrifying. It takes way too long to admit when I am lost, and even longer to recognize when I'm back on the correct path. In times of weary stupor, I've even wondered if there is a correct path… And then something happened. Well lots of things happened, I guess, but something truly amazing happened when I stopped thinking so hard about which way to go. I just let go and watched as I went left towards cheery sunshine; or right, a detour through spooky shade. And each time I walked a new path, it was more beautiful than the last. Now, there is no fear of choosing wrong or missing out on anything, for the constantly changing scenery keeps me infinitely entertained. Sometimes I wonder if there really is an other side to the Misty Maze. Sometimes I dream of my youth, before I arrived. It helps to keep up the charade. Must keep walking...

More chances for Connor on that one...

This is super cool!

@flume thanks! We have some really cool things in the works. ?

@Bojan V well perhaps someone else will jump on the idea and we can just relax and participate

@Bojan V check out the one I started on The Book Of Not Knowing... (its in eternal limbo right now, though there's always the chance of resurrection?) I suggest not posting excerpts from the book, since that's illegal ?, but give us a section to read and then we all discuss it and apply it. Could just post one chapter a week, or small sections of the chapter broken up over the course of a week. Would be important to set a thread rule of NO Arguing. We should only discuss the book from direct experience, and make it a group meditation not to parrot. There could also be a sister thread where we log our workbooks online.

I think someone should do a ACIM book study ?

You beat me to it ?

@Wilhelm44 it's rather easy to 'switch realities' in thought. For example, want to live in a world where all the oceans are clean? Simply forget they are dirty and ignore all evidence to the contrary. Voila! Hey, Christians live in a similar reality 24/7 ?

To whom do thoughts come next? When thoughts come next they shine bright up on the morning daisy, who knows not her breakfast of dew drops and earthworm poop.

A good gentle sativa should get you through if you're only missing one night. ?

@Derek White dang, sorry to hear that. ☹️

Do you ever hang out with dream characters in a lucid dream?

Hmmm well I dunno... Do you have to work?

?

@Shin @Shin here's the video, as promised:) and you can use it to explore older dream worlds as well.

Hmm I dunno... I actually delved straight into my art with whole heart and my business has started sliding. ?‍♂️ Damn. It sucks but it'll work out. Probably

@Moksha ok that one was fishy.... I mean cool ?
