VeganAwake

Check out from 10:30 ET explains how sneaky and low key this new ego identification can be. He is highly underrated imo.

I had a very similar experience to what Eckhart Tolle experienced after about a year and a half of meditation (often twice a day/focusing on the breath) One morning I got up and the voice in the head(monkey mind) was silent. It was realized how much identification with thoughts was distracting and influencing my life. I got a lot of work done that day because I could put all of my attention on what I wanted to focus on without distraction. I could still think just fine about what I wanted to think about. It also started becoming clear that this veganawake character I saw myself as, wasn't real. It was like a fictional roll I had been playing for a long time. The settings and the scenery had changed over time, but the character was mostly the same. It became clearer and clearer over the next couple of years. It was a very radical experience especially being sober and level headed at the time. Later it was recognized there never was a veganawake character from the start. It only had seemed to be real. Buddhists I'm sure experience the self character Doing meditation and trying to Attain liberation. But it's an impossibe feat because the self character illusion never finds the peace and wholeness it's longing for. It's never satisfied. Nobody becomes liberated!

It's interesting to watch people functioning within their belief systems. How they experience life from a certain perspective and operate from that interpretation They can seem very immersed and invested in the game of life. Their bubble of reality is usually the center of the focus. Then you can watch yourself watching others and actually realize, there's not big difference, if any at all.

Truth = We are temporary organisms on a planet that sustains life. I would be very skeptical of anyone or any belief system claiming to know more than that.

This is similar to what I would describe as enlightenment. With enlightenment both perspectives are simultaneously the reality and clearly seen to have always been the case. It's understood why there seemed to be that experience of separation.

Well sure, survival seems to matter from a personal perspective. The fear of pain and death(unknown) is a very powerful emotion. Ultimately nothing matters though because every living organism will eventually die including you and me. Life seems to matter because the alternative, death, is unfamiliar and terrifying for most. Imo, a programed biological desire for survival doesn't necessarily make it important. Both tribes were going to die eventually no matter what. I mean, every single living being from that Era, is now dead........so what did it really matter?..........it didn't actually. It only seemed to matter temporarily. Makes no difference at all in the big picture.

Sometimes choices that seem correct at the time, are later realized to be incorrect. "Nothing mattering" loves preferences and choices. It's the freedom to choose x every time if you want. Wouldn't it be interesting to see the faces of people who spent their entire lives trying to save the planet, only to have a giant meteorite the size of Australia smash into planet earth at 118 times the speed of sound, vaporizing every living organism in an instant? Can you imagine watching that happen from a spaceship in outer space?

@Breakingthewall I get what you mean. I was just sharing the website, because I used to be stationed in the military near Robert Wolfe's home in Ojai, California. Apparently J. Krishnamurti also lived near by. Robert passed away in 2021. Imo, nothing is a recipe or guide to live by........not Ajata, Jim Newman, Tony Parsons, Ramana or Buddha. They are just pointing or attempting to expose something. Let me ask you a question. Did anything matter before you were born? Was anything meaningful or meaningless? When that body dies, do things still matter for the living?

@Breakingthewall It's pointing to impermanence and meaninglessness It's not necessarily a denial of current physical reality but it simultaneously is also. It's a denial of its permanence and meaning. Like a mirage or illusion, it ultimately lacks in reality regardless of the period of time in which it seems to be real. It's not to be logically understood because it's real and simultaneously unreal.

I knew repeating over and over would eventually reap benefits 🤣

🤣😅😂

It certainly helps to have a concensus on what enlightenment means.
