VeganAwake

You are in a good place and you understand things very well... The further down this path you go, the more you will recognize how futile practices actually are.( running on the hamster wheel) there's absolutely nothing wrong with decorating the prison cell or making the dream more comfortable Once things are seen clearly, it's literally like a ghost practicing for the Olympics... it becomes a silly non applicable goal for No one. This is impossible for the illusion to understand... But when the illusion is completely seen through, it makes perfect sense.

If there is suffering involved with the whole situation then maybe adjust accordingly... If you have transcended beyond the apparent suffering there is no issue.. ❤

The mind is not involved at all

"When Everything being Everything is Everything, You will be home" -- VeganAwake

Tier two forms is also your God... When everything being Everything is Everything, You will be home ?

I always pondered this when thinking about God Imagining it's Egoic self... Is God just imagining this apparent evolution of the ego along with dinosaur bones and things of the past that science shows. Would God be this deceptive or could it be an evil entity having us run around for entertainment? Or what if were just evolved Ape like ancestors running around trying to figure out something that has no reason!

THIS "This doesn't need anything else, this is already all there is. Whatever is happening—whatever feelings, thoughts, experiences are happening—that is the wholeness that is looked for. It's not the wholeness the individual's looking for. It's not the wholeness that the "I am" is looking for. It will always be dissatisfied with this. It's a wholeness that's beyond the personal seeking, beyond the personal need for something more or something else"-- Jim

@JumboEukaryote What does 'I' look and feel like? What is I? Its not the body... What is identified with the present moment? Not talking about Consciousness either...

@Ibn Sina What is looking for an answer? Is there an actual ME in the body. Who or What is seeking? What does this apparent ME consist of?

@actualizing25 there is a body and a sense of ME in the body. Forget about the body for now.. What makes up that sense of ME? What does it consist of?

Nobody knows this because the one that thinks it's a dream... isn't real.. Its unknowable...

Thanks brother ? ❤ very appreciative of all you guys.

Brother!!! thank you so much for everything you do... we all know you guys don't get paid and just like I said to Anna1, your time spent helping us all is truly priceless.. I know we don't always see eye to eye on every topic but after getting to know you and realizing your entire goal is to help as many people as you can on the forum, it was recognized how much we actually have in common. You're an incredible asset to the Forum brother thanks again for everything and stay safe over there in Chicago bro stay inside LOL...❤ no ? around...

Non-duality points to everything being it. Everything that happens is it. There isn't an inside of it or an outside of it because everything is literally it... There's no positions for everything... Hallucinations and mystical experiences are it, eating a taco is it, walking outside in the rain is it, eating a jelly donut is it, a piece of grass with a ladybug on it is it, a pile of dogshit on the sidewalk is it, dropping your kids off at school is it, a virus sweeping the planet in claiming numerous lives is it, sitting in your house wondering how things are going to turn out is it. Your kids waking up and giving you hugs is it, your daughter getting raped when she's 19 years old at college is it. Everything is it and it's completely ordinary and extraordinary simultaneously...it is Infinite = 0 A conditioned body/mind looks at something and assigns meaning purpose and value to it so it can put it into a box, label it, and now know it and understand it. But knowing is a trap because there isn't anything missing that needs to be understood... everything is already as it is... whole complete perfect. The trick is Basking in the Unknowing.. It's like there are billions of apparent individuals running around the planet with separate dreams, believing their dream is the center of the universe... there is nothing wrong with it... it's what's happening and it's also everything its also it. This has been called (Maya illusion of the self) When Awakening occurs and it's recognized the separate individual was never real to begin with, everything can be viewed clearly... without a story attached to it... without an egoic self agenda determining the value of it for the 'ME'. (what can 'I' get out of this) It's Unconditional Love for everything.. whatever this everything is. ❤

Yes Actualized.org official Appreciation Day ? ❤

❤ ❤ u 2

Its way past due. Its so easy to get caught up in business...much love!! Thanks brother & we r 4 sure!!

@Anna1 I miss our silly wine chats( drinky-poo's)... I'm so thankful for your guidance also...❤ Your forgiveness after my behavior has been the biggest Catalyst for my growth since becoming a member... I know you're not getting paid but you're absolutely priceless...thank you so much Anna

Within the dream there seems to be all kinds of ways to improve the me's situation.... more meditation more peace, more practice more progress... What this subtly suggests is that what is here and now is not good enough... When the resistance to whatever shows up in life gets dropped the suffering ends. Before Enlightenment chop wood and carry water after Enlightenment chop wood and carry water what has changed is the resistance to what is...

The me is looking for a correct answer or a path to THIS.... There isnt a real path because there isn't a correct answer because there isn't an actual you that's asking the question... Lol sorry not trying to freak you out.. Liberation occurs when the separate sense of me has fallen away and is recognized to have never existed( that's why it's referred to as death sometimes) it's only an apparent death for No One ...because no one actually ever existed.. Osho is pointing to the truth that nothing arises out of the separate me because it isn't real.... everything real arises out of post Awakening... I think this is mostly what he was pointing to ?

I'm sure these have probably been posted several times... Hitler video had me shocked at how accurate it was to my experience... it's pretty hilarious also!!

I love you too brother!! ❤ it's unconditional & unwavering.
