Your post reminded me of a saying from the movie Vanilla Sky - "Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around"

@OmniYoga perhaps what Osho means here is you must first Love yourself and care for yourself before you can become selfless. That's not the same as being selfish in the sense that you tell your spouse to mow the grass herself when its your turn but you would rather be on the forum posting.

Duality = creation = non-duality = Love

I think the true write off is to write off duality. That's the trap in coming full circle in this work.

You're not the only one.

@kiwua only you will know when it is a non-dual state because you can't miss it. But it does sound like your consciousness levels are in a flexible state right now and levels are higher than normal. This is the time to pounce on it. Ramp up your techniques bigtime now and drown yourself in spirituality. You may be ripe for an awakening but have to align with Being now as much as possible. Just my 2 cents.

Ironically if he was truly conscious of this he would probably be woke. @AlphaAbundance realize that death is a concept in your mind. It doesn't exist so therefore the option itself will collapse (its a duality) and you will be God awakening to itself.

It can be both.

@Jack River you aren't floating right now are you? You are probably sitting in a chair or laying down perhaps.. but you are not in the air weightless...so that is the force the earth is applying on you right now. But yes if you remove little you which is the subject or perceiver there is just consciousness or isness or being or pure objectivity. So that is accurate.

Meaning you see it transcending the dream and being outside of that? I'm not sure i follow

@Jack River oh so are you asking if it is an actual phenomenon within the dream? Then yes it is.

@Jack River reality is a Mind...hence everything is mind stuff mind stuff can affect other mind stuff of course. The tricky part is that You as God are imagining reality and imagining it is being little @Jack River and @Jack River is then imagining it is physical and real

@TrynaBeTurquoise Actually going thru an audio book on the New Testament now just to learn about it and it's very interesting how all the gospels contradict each other in many ways - were written by different people, decades after Jesus died. Most didn't even know Jesus. So there's a lot of uncertainty and speculation among scholars on whether the stuff in there actually happened or not. So you have to take anything in there with a grain of salt. The people writing it were going off other sources or what they heard from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone and so on who supposedly knew Jesus....

@zeroISinfinity Zero = Love = Being = God = Goodness

Yes. To me it seemed he had a complete melt down on air and Joe was regretting it deep inside but it was already too late. He made a mistake on this one but hey, life goes on. I think it didn't do his show any justice from a serious standpoint. If you want mindless entertainment it fit the bill. But i think Joe wants more for his show than that - he was just stuck at that point. He should have known better though knowing Alex. I don't know what he was thinking...maybe he wasn't.

@Samra its not something you can really get with language - you have to go beneath language and concepts to really get this..you have to go to the root level Requires an awakening to Oneness. But you can glimpse it as concept

Wow. Just listened to a good bit of this. This dude is completely off his rocker. DMT opens the portal to aliens and he has seen all of reality in his dreams.

It's like pulling back the curtain on the Wizard of Oz

@Danioover9000 awesome! No pic required - i imagined it. Is there a difference? Tell her thanks again

@Danioover9000 has she made any progress on the sculpture?

@Nemo28. When you grasp this you will be awake. Anytime you ask why am i me and not you, you are doomed to get lost in concepts. Remember as Leo said, reality is that which is the case. Become conscious that you are all of reality right now. If you weren't being you right now then you wouldn't be you! You would be something else! You being you is precisely so you could be you. Don't make it any more complicated than that. You are pure consciousness - that is the lack of subjectivity. If you realize that your perceptions and experience are illusions on top of Being, than so too is "everyone" elses! So why would you need to see through someone else's eyes when they don't really exist other than as an illusion? Wouldn't it make more sense to become Being and be the whole damn thing? In other words it's all One - you will come full circle and Be it all. As well as know it all.

Yes. - i like "What is the Nature of Duality?" personally.

@kieranperez which is of course - nothing. The distinctions are being imagined. Imagination is nowhere and nothing.

@kieranperez well Infinity is formless (non-dual). Pure isness is the lack of any distinctions or differences or dualities. (its One) Reality as we know it (form) is a system of contrasts or differences or distinctions. The only way anything can be is by contrasting something else. If your dog wasn't distinct from your cat then they would be One. So in essence you are a distinction, as is your dog.

@Schahin Look at it like this. You as God are pure Being - formless. You are nothing. But as Infinity you contain all possibilities in a raw state of potential. So as the finite you, you are one of those possibilites. God is exploring a particular possibility as you. So as you - any decision you make plays out a particular possiblity - that before was just in a state of isness or pure potential. You are exploring a particular possiblity as you make your way through life. If you choose to go left - that possiblity then plays out. If you choose to go right, rather - then that one plays out and the other remains as isness. Think of it like a choose your own adventure book where all outcomes are already predetermined but you get to play out anyone you want. Ultimately the Big You will play out all of them to Infinity.
