  1. It doesn't matter if there's an experience of a self or as everything or as nothing. It doesn't mean or charge anything. There's no value in anything Reality is already itself And it doesn't matter if reality is experienced in any certain way or at all Literally nothing matters in anyway at all, whatsoever. It's already complete whole & perfect because it's everything.......it's not perfect because of certain reasons........it perfect because it's everything ❤️
  2. Purpose is a made up concept ✨️
  3. The physical bodies are separate, but they are empty. There isn't a real "you or me" inside of them. The relentless energy running the body around endlessly seeking a better experience, is the self illusion! You, the seeker isn't there! ❤️
  4. It's worse than that. "There was never a first step" 🫢
  5. Yeah, the collective reminds me of human versions of the ant colony, animal herd, bee hive etc.... And as above so below. Then each individual ant is simultaneously It's own colony along with every one of its cells. A living speck of dust within the infinite and near a random heat source, allowing for self sustainable life. And no other evidence of life detected as far as we know of....crazy! PS You really did a great job on that collective ego video. Always enjoyed it!
  6. Survival is such a wide ranged topic/word. I feel like most survival instincts are natural to each human body. Like the natural animal instinct to survive and thrive. I refer to the ego as that entire self construct . That "sense of self character" that gets offended if someone insults it, or gets inflated if someone flatters it to much. That which gets conditioned by its surroundings and believes it needs to earn $300K a year and drive a Mercedes to be happy. Or a stoner hippie that recycles, lives off the land, grows his own food, and rides a bicycle for transportation. The conditioned upbringing shapes the character and attempts to create a good soldier, mostly for the good of the collective. What's your thoughts on that outlook Leo? Thanks 😊
  7. Things just seemingly happen, & then stories are seemingly created about those happenings! ❤️
  8. Yup, very similar. It's actually nothing, appearing as similar patterning. In a certain sense, there's infinite similarities/patterns in everything. It just takes pointing them out, which then seems to make them special or important 😉 ❤️
  9. There are layers of the self illusion. They are intertwined & woven like a wool blanket of self referential memories, thoughts, experiences, beliefs...etc...etc... This self illusion can feel very heavy at certain times and also light or nonexistent at other times. Nevertheless, it always seems to be in the forefront or subconscious. it's identity/separation. But when these layers of the apparent self are examined closely, they can start becoming very questionable and unstable. They can quickly start shedding or peeling off. ❤️
  10. This is kind of funny because nonduality is a word pointing out that, "separation isn't real" So the very question "Non dual versus God realization" stems from that illusory experience of duality. The belief that they are 2 different things is the illusory experience that the meaning of nonduality is attempting to reveal ❤️
  11. You guys need to let go of letting go of letting go..... 🤣
  12. It slows and can even temporarily stop the endless conditioned mind chatter or monkey mind distraction. Recognitions occur easier with that distraction eliminated. There are many different meditation techniques, and one isn't really better than the other because every body is wired a little differently. I personally recommend the focusing on the breathing technique 👌 ❤️
  13. "The ego construct is nothing more than the impulse to repeat. It is simply the path that energy once took and the tendency for the energy to take that path again, whether it is positive or negative for the organism" - Samadhi Part 1 Maya (illusion of self)
  14. The self illusion is never satisfied, It feels incomplete within the illusory experience of being a separate individual. So it seeks & seeks & seeks.......Financial success, stardom, religion/spirituality, materialism, intelligence, truth. There's no real universal purpose for anything, including spirituality. Any answer would just be an opinion/belief or guess. Spirituality isn't even real......it's just a grouping of differing actions/beliefs that people are in agreeance with as being "spiritual" For example, is riding a horse less spiritual than a meditation/yoga practice? The self illusion is needy and never satisfied. Because of this, it gets into all sorts of endeavors ❤️
  15. @PurpleTree Hi, Awakening is a clear recognition revealing that this needy self character wanting to attain awakening.....isn't actually real....it's an illusion of self construct. There isn't a real "You" inside that PurpleTree body over there There IS a body, but its actually empty...... that needy "You" character isn't really in there. That's the self-illusion So the issue is: how could there ever be a practice or method, to literally help an illusion, recognize that its an illusion Any spiritual practice or method suggests that there is in fact, a real "You" which could benefit from spiritual practices in the future Awakening isn't a result of spiritual practices, methods, meditation or genetics.........it's a simple recognition which allows for an enormous energetic relaxation of the body. An energetic shift away from upholding this needy self construct It can seem to happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone....but it certainly does seem rare Nothing actually needs to happen in the future because, it's already that now It's just either recognized, or it isn't........doesn't matter either way ❤️
