@FocusOnTruth yep lol. I’m tired lol.

Pain is the greatest teacher if we let it be. Pre and post non duality. When we have an agenda though. Truth becomes irrelevant.

What is ignorance? Within most non dual circles ignorance is synonymous with recognition of the “self”. Disodentification with “ego”. The personality structure. Yet. People who do & abide in it. Still might suffer from tremendous issues. Subconscious and conscious cravings, fears, and walls that we put up to deal with a reality we can not fully look at. A reality we are afraid to open up to. Arrogance towards our fellow man, dehumanisation of them, not understanding them, not understanding ourselves, our limits, our blind spots all stem from this lack of opening up. This fear to truly look. Ignorance of the fact that we are not the identity is but one type of ignorance and on the path we should shed light on all these parts of ourselves. life is hard. We simplify it to make do, but having the courage to grow and become better is one of the most respectable qualities to have, and I believe the best quality for growth. Towards a non dual understanding, and further towards embodying it. Towards humility, respect and the understanding of life itself.

But it’s not relevant to the post lol. Post was about how ignorance isn’t simply or only ignorance of non duality. Then people were like ignorance is being ignorant of the self... haha

Wasn’t a question guys. Just sharing a perspective.

No question : ) but you are a cool dude mu. Keep at it.

Ignorance is just a thought is oddly enough due to ignorance. Thoughts are merely the surface level of an entire structure that goes very deep.

@Joseph Maynor Revolutionary good sir.

@@DrewNows @Nahm ❤️

Smh lol

Was talking about op. Insights are cool, but these posts are dripping with a ton of negative egoic tendencies. Written in such a bizarre manner.

Why are some people on this forum like this?...

@Jkris sure . Have a flight to catch but will do so in a day or two ❣️

@Jkris A healthy approach to the path. Non duality gets rid of gross identification. Identification with the personality and beliefs. A number of fetters revolving around instinctual and subconscious fear and control mechanisms. Self awareness of this fact, and not denying it will make the embodiment process post awakening a lot smoother. There is a very long road from a stream entry person to an arhat who has rid himself of all defilements and sees reality without any distortions. At all. @Aakash ? cool

Are your bodies reflexes due to the conscious belief that you are a human? It is a gross oversimplification to say all woes are due to identification with thoughts. Most your traumas, issues, and ignorance are not due to any conscious doing. The deep reeceses of your subconscious can not be untangled by mere non duality or disidentification.

@thesmileyone Not all sahaja samadhis are equal. Baseline awakened states vary greatly in depth.

@Ry4n what you call enlightenment I call non duality. It is not enlightenment and yes, that does not make you perfect. Post awakening a process starts to rid you of all defilements as Theravada Buddhism states it, and has been my experience. Working with that process will eventually rid you of all defilements, delusions, fears and cravings that make you “imperfect” as you said it.

Martin ball is clearly not liberated. He said he still has issues. His sleep thing. Extreme ones too. Jan is not liberated either though. He regularly talks about suffering. Ralston is also arrogant. Not liberated. Lacks nuance.

And yet a devil pretending everything is perfect can lead to even more devilry for its dishonest and hinders growth.

Seretonin you seem like a nice enough guy. Didn’t read the whole thing, but are genuine and show vulnerability which is a good quality. Joe. You are, lol well, not as much, but have integrity internally I believe. Arguments happens. Let’s move on : )

Who is it that gets triggered? No one. Triggeredness just arises. No one here got triggered. No one here did anything. Let’s move on.... wait. There is nothing to move. Nothing to on. Very profound. Very deep.

@AlphaAbundance most of what you said . Mostly about enlightenment

Lot of assumptions. Unquestioned and stated as fact.

Well according to that. No effort, stable, and no mental disturbances. No fluctuations. No excitation. Nor being above excitation. No weird non dual talk to hold on to anything. Im a fan of the Theravada map though. More substance. Less fancy talk. Jnana maps lack a lot of depth.

@Aakash I’m short don’t cling to insights or take them to be the whole truth.
