  1. @Member @Pugfishpanda Duality is a misunderstanding... this video may or may not help ❤
  2. The importance of the emptying your glass before enquiry. The letting go of concepts and preconceived notions. Starting without bias.
  3. no it's not puzzling at all and in fact it makes complete sense... the separate sense of 'I' does not want to die. It will always deny this message. there is absolutely nothing wrong with meditation eating white rice and listening to Rupert Spira at all. All that is being illuminated here is that it's very common for Spiritual Seekers to fall into the trap of the spiritual ego. From the experience here, it usually begins with some sort of awakening, glimpse or mystical experience where as the sense of 'self' or ego feels threatened and sneaks in the back door and relabels the sense of 'I' as Higher Consciousness; The true self; higher self; God; Infinite consciousness etc... It's not an attempt to criticize judge or invalidate anyone else's direct experience. It's just food for thought!! It's real and unreal unnamable unfathomable incomprehensible....THIS ❤
  4. Yes it's a ?
  5. ❤ also if you haven't already, maybe check out: "Perfect Brilliant Stillness" by David Carse Just wow ?
  6. Understanding how the identification with mind creates suffering. Going into details on how our parents were taught certain behaviors which led to the way they raised us and how it affects our lives. David Bohm & J Krishnamurti are great resources on this topic ❤
  7. Nobody becomes enlightened. Enlightenment is the collapsing of the apparent separate individual thus making separation or duality an impossibility... as in it actually never happened. "The separation never occurred" -- A Course in Miracles
  8. And believing it's something that needs to be killed perpetuates it's existence.. Simply recognize its unreality.
  9. Every song is it and not it simultaneously = 0
  10. There is no observer just observation. It's real and unreal... Real because it's what apparently happens.. Unreal because it's empty there's nothing behind it.. nothing manifesting
  11. Yes it's not a one-size-fits-all type of deal. STOP seeking outside of yourself and turn Within. What is 'I'... Where is 'I' located in the body... What does 'I' consist of... ❤
  12. There may be the experience there that there's someone here with wisdom.....DONT BELIEVE IT!!
  13. It's not a comparison or equation that can be figured out by the mind. when you die and become zero unconditional love is the consequence. Simultaneously it's recognized that zero was always the case.
  14. Gotcha...yeah I know what your sayin.. Only when the separate knower fish dies, is it recognized it was never real. And then becomes the unknowable.
  15. Me Leo and Mu attempting to describe that love is more than just a feeling.
  16. Yes physical and psychological suffering. If you stub your toe on a rock, you feel physical pain and slowly as the pain decreases you typically would forget all about it. But now let's say you break your leg and can't work for 4 months... this starts turning into psychological suffering because you now become worried about being able to support the family, and how is this new limp in my right leg going to effect my life...etc. Your boss tells you that you're not working hard enough. You tell her okay I will try to work harder. You think about this all day and dwell on it at home and the next day and the next day( psychological suffering) Now this psychological suffering can lead to physical consequences such as accumulation of stress build-up or constant worry, weight gain/loss, gray/loss of hair, fatigue etc. So it's recognized that both physical and psychological pain can lead to prolonged suffering. But who is actually suffering where is that one. See if you can find him or her ❤
