VeganAwake

There's only one thing going on here... THIS! Within THIS, an illusion gets created within the human body. This illusion thinks it's real and has Free Will and choice. Sometimes for no apparent reason, this illusion Falls away and sometimes it does not. This is all that's happening

What's longed-for is what already is.. Sometimes what can be found during the seeking is the knowledge that there is nothing to be found ❤ It's a falling away not a gain.

Bingo Yahtzee that's because there's nothing to find...❤ The separate self / seeking energy feels incomplete. That feeling of incompleteness will keep you running on the hamster wheel and seeking infinitely. The trick is to recognize you are already complete, step off the hamster wheel and turn that seeking energy 180 degrees Within... Ask Who am I? What does this I consist of? Where in the body is this I located? "The separation never occurred" - A Course in Miracles ❤

@Beginner Mind all the separate self / seeking energy can do is seek. It feels separate and incomplete. The seeking perpetuates it's reality and keeps you seeking infinitely. But there's nothing to find because you are already complete. The trick is to recognize this, step off the hamster wheel, turn that seeking energy 180 degrees and go within to recognize your true nature.❤ Who am I? What does this 'I' consist of? Where in the body is this 'I' located?

Only if you think so ? It's interesting as Consciousness expands every time I go back to a teaching it feels like I'm reading it for the first time, you seem to understand things on a deeper level... Actually I heard he stole this from Rupert...?

I agree... it's incredible when it's recognized what the Seeker wants is what the Seeker already is.❤

I remember that one, that's a great video ❤

@Inliytened1 Andreas Muller is having an open webinar tomorrow at 11a.m. California time. It's free if you are interested ?.. just Google Andreas Muller non-duality.. his website tells you how to participate ?

One thing happening appearing as many ❤

Relative absolute duality and non-duality are just words. The experience is where the answer lies. If the sense of self has not fallen away, the experience will feel like a separate individual here, experiencing existence out there. (This is a relative/dual experience) This is called Maya the illusion of the self / duality. If the sense of self has fallen away, the experience will feel like existence experiencing itself as itself. (This would be considered non-dual awareness or non-duality) But in the biggest picture possible and when Awakening occurs it's recognized that the separate self never actually existed, it was just an illusion. And what does the separate self represent? Duality. Duality isn't real, it only feels real from inside the illusion. ❤ You literally cannot grasp this with the mind because the mind thinks dualistically.

That communication isn't saying there isn't apparent consequences... It's saying that the consequences and outcome have no meaning purpose or value. Whether you keep the job whether you lose the job whether you find a better job whether you go on unemployment whether you're homeless... Nothing matters in that sense... who knows you may have the experience of your life living under the bridge with an enlightened homeless guy... Basically whatever path is taken isn't any better than any other path... Only the mind with an agenda thinks otherwise...

Try to beat THIS THIS...

Not having any resistance to what is. Full acceptance of the current situation. This does not not mean that you brainwash yourself into liking everything or become a meditating pacifist accepting all behaviors... Rather when there is no resistance to what is, suffering is reduced greatly and there's a peaceful undertone in all walks of life ❤

@Beginner Mind I was joking by the way hehe... I'm sure you figured that out but just in case ?

You better watch it dammit I don't want you to be eating magic brownies next week and posting threads about how you realized your brownies are Enlightenment because they make you happy. ...

I don't know whether you're being sarcastic or not but that's funny as hell either way ...? and it's THIS as well lol

Yeah bro you're not just going to sit there and stare in the mirror in amazement saying oh my God I am God... Get out go on dates with yourself drink yourself eat yourself s*** yourself out flush yourself... watch yourself making a movie about yourself on your cell phone which is also yourself.

@Beginner Mind If you haven't seen this full video yet ❤ It won a lot of awards at numerous film festivals including the Buddha International Film Festival. In my opinion it's one of the greatest films of all time depicting traditional Awakening/Enlightenment experiences described in yogic tradition.

Shocked lol? I really think there is a lot we don't know about each other my friend ❤ I was starting to assume you labeled me as an Eckhart Tolle Fanboy/Neo Advaitist's. I don't follow any belief system or have any kind of identity or attachment to any kind of teaching/teacher whatsoever. I am free.. Nonduality is just apparently the best word to describe the experience that occurred here for no-one. Awakening or Enlightenment isn't something to be rated... that's simply another form of dualistic perception causing division in the whole.

Haha yes we'll watch it together on my couch ...I got the cookies you bring the vegan eggnog with Soco...?

Yeah no problem... and that's totally perfect because it's what's happening ❤ What was said was not just their influences, it was my own Awakening experience along with dozens of other spiritual influencers / Masters.. Osho and Robert Wolfe we're also very big on the communication that nothing really matters and there is no goal.

What if there were no goals? What if there was no meaning purpose or value to anything and it was recognised these are just concepts created by the disease of the Mind. What if nothing really mattered.. Would you feel afraid or free?

There isn't any certain way anything needs to be... and no one can predict how things will turn out... and the opinion of how things turned out, would be just that, an opinion. Someone who believes they are God may have an amazing life.(but what is a great life, it's just an opinion).. one person may believe a great life is being single and having sex with thousands of partners... another might believe it's being happily married with a great family and kids. Some of what I considered the worst experiences at the time, I look back on and think wow what an incredible journey and amazing learning opportunity. There's no telling the outcome of a path... therefore whatever path is chosen is the right one unless you believe it isn't.. " The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind" - Sengstan, Hsin Hsin Ming Suffering is caused by the resistance to what IS. I've heard it said to "take the middle way"... but what is "the middle way"... everybody's middle way or middle path is different lol. Any way you choose, becomes your way. And even if you didn't choose it it's still your way. The perception of the situation is what makes all the difference in the world. And I have a secret ...perception can be changed infinitely. Perception is your god-given power ❤

When the mechanism that creates suffering and separation(ego) is understood, it's much easier to have compassion and understanding for people's behavior. To me that's literally what unconditional love means. It doesn't mean you become a meditating pacifist, you still set your boundaries and hold your ground if someone's behaving inappropriately. Unconditional love was something that improved in increments as the effects of Awakening became clearer and clearer. The Paradox is you can really dislike someone's behavior and actions and simultaneously have a deep love respect and compassion for them. Like Leo says Awareness alone is Curative... It's typically not something that happens quickly... do not beat yourself up over it ❤
