VeganAwake

Didn't know what to expect going into this video but really resonated with a lot of his descriptions actually...

There isn't anyone here... The we that we think we are is apparently some kind of unknowable energy... it's incomprehensible and unfathomable. Whatever THIS is, it can't be understood by the human mind.

The mindfuckery of all of this is there's no substance to anything. That's what confuses... the ego isn't real unless you're identified with it... Life has no purpose unless you're identified with life having a purpose Life has no meaning unless you're identified with life having a meaning Life has no value unless you're identified with life having value We are Freer than free as in there is no goal to achieve... this is Paradise this is heaven on Earth this is enlightenment... for fucksake don't waste it on seeking what's already here...❤ We create our own suffering in life by simply taking shit to serious, and feeling like there's something that needs to be found.. you are already perfect whole complete Perfection at hand.. Life is not serious... when the kids are screaming the wife is bitching bosses are firing territories are fighting with each other.... Simply be the witness in these situations... Visualize you are sitting on a cloud with God watching the show unfold below sipping on champagne and admitting to ourselves damn we created the best show in town... the Priceless show simply unknowable... except for us ?

Yeah it won't feel that way for the individual... But when the individual is gone you will be home ?

True that and our technology is moving much faster than conscious human development currently. Picture Iraq Iran and Afghanistan with Terminators ahhh lol Its Judgment Day rotten westerners Kabbalah la la la la.. (Boom) It's possible I'm exaggerating the threat a little bit...haha

It's crazy how quickly and out-of-control the advancement and detrimental effects of the improvised explosive devices have became when they get into the wrong hands. Now they have drones with incredible accuracy dropping missiles and bombs. It's going to be interesting to see what will arise from artificial intelligence. But just like with any new technologically advanced threat comes technologically advanced counter-terrorism and combative measures.

Sorry I had to ? Prof Stephen Hawking, one of Britain's pre-eminent scientists, has said that efforts to create thinking machines pose a threat to our very existence. He told the BBC: "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."

These are just simply different definitions of the meaning of enlightenment... One person thinks it's when you become aware of the fact that you are God. Another beliefs it's an infinite Awakening process unfolding with no end. Who is right maybe no one and everyone ? They're just words pointing to something... and we all know the words are not the thing. My definition of enlightenment is when the illusion of the separate self falls away and it's recognized the separation never occurred, it was just Maya or the self illusion, Oneness was always the case. There is a disentangling from social conditioning and a snapping out of The Matrix. Life carries on as usual but without the egoic self agenda and pathological conditioned thought patterns running the show. Before Enlightenment chop wood and carry water after Enlightenment chop wood and carry water. What has changed is the resistance to what is. A great thing to recognize is it doesn't matter either way its just a show...? ❤

@GreenWoods I understand what you're saying good stuff... Here's a possibility... The Boundless Energy of everything is free and unconditioned until it takes form... once the Big Bang occurred and physical form appeared the conditioning started... Your great great great grandmother conditioned your great-great-grandmother your great-great grandmother conditioned your great-grandmother who then conditioned your grandmother who then conditioned your mom who probably conditioned You... of course along with all of society's conditioning as well or you could say the environments conditioning. So whenever an action is made the human body is reacting according to its conditioning and there is a false sense of self that is claiming it is the one making these decisions. Even if it appears random the human body is still making a decision as fast as possible and the false self is claiming that it made the decision. So do you think it's possible that Free Will and choice is an absolute illusion... very interesting right? ❤

Hehe I'm just kidding around buddy...❤ I had to remove my mustache picture that thing looked hideous lol..

I've been rereading your response for an hour trying to make sense of it. I think I got it... you are saying you love my red mustache and I should grow a beard to accompany it. ? Is this accurate?

Great post brother!! I think one of the easiest ways to identify whether something is ego-driven or from an awakened heart is to watch the feelings that arise when this motivated action is NOT carried out. If feelings of guilt or the diminishment of one's sense of self worth arises, it was most likely an egoic motivation tied to social conditioning. For example my wife gave a homeless man a cheeseburger and told me later that it made her day and made her feel good. Now its true this is a win-win situation as in my wife felt better and the homeless man got a meal. But if you look deep into the actual motivation behind her action you will find something quite startling... I will leave that for another discussion. Before awakening I remember walking past a homeless man asking for change one time. I just continued walking and the guilt got so bad that I actually turned around and gave him like five bucks or something. I remember feeling like an uncompassionate human and my sense of self-worth felt diminished in that moment. When your sense of self-worth depends on a certain outcome, action or inaction, you're tied to social conditioning and caught in The Matrix as I like to describe it. True self Love or Unconditional Love has no conditions. When this Unconditional Love is fully embodied and the ego has fallen away, a sort of disentangling from social conditioning occurs and it's recognized that actually nothing needs to be done... but why not do something? The paradoxical nature of existence reflects perfection on every level... but then a question arises within THIS perfection. But why not make the world a better place? See you simply cannot go wrong in whatever THIS IS. ❤ Great post brother I thoroughly enjoyed reading have a good day my friend ?

Awakening could be described as becoming aware of what is true.(the bottom of the bucket has fallen out and it can never hold water again... it's just a matter of time) there can still be an oscillating period... falling back asleep and waking up over and over again. Enlightenment or liberation could be described as living fully embodied in this Truth. The oscillation has ended and only Being remains. I really enjoy his videos ❤

I know this isn't anything new but I wanted to share anyways. I was laying on my couch feeling so free, so light, so wonderful, so at peace...I questioned where did this feeling come from or what caused it. Then the word EMPTY popped into my mind....I felt Empty. But not the bad or lacking Empty that most would typically associate Empty with. This is like an Empty Fullness, a Pregnant Nothingness, an Everything and Nothing Emptiness. It's not having any belief systems, attachments or idea's of the way anything should be.... it's the Wayless Way...or No Way. I realized, I don't believe in anything except BEING. And anything and everything is welcomed in BEING. I would describe it as in natural surrender to what being reveals. ❤

@Javfly33 ❤

I'm just confused... somebody said my mustache was ugly today but it sounded like they were giving me a complement!! This is my first mustache so I haven't learned the mustache lingo yet. Can somebody help me with this?

Yellow: so how is it up there? Turquoise: feels pretty good thanks for asking!!

I really like that....? Here is a clip from Samadhi part 2 (it's not what you think): "When you realize the center that is everywhere and nowhere, duality breaks down, form and emptiness time and the timeless. One could call it a dynamic stillness or a pregnant emptiness, within the center of absolute darkness. The Taoist teacher Lao Tse said "Darkness within darkness the gateway to all understanding."

I like that...yes THIS is all-encompassing and literally can't exclude anything. It's what's happening. With that being said, one can point out that although it's all included, does not mean it will produce the same outcome. For example: Some people enjoy seeking. And for others it becomes a vicious taskmaster that causes pain and suffering. (satsang after satsang, the constant running on the hamster wheel which only perpetuates that there's something that can be found) So different interpretations of being can produce different outcomes. Good material...

Yeah this is a pretty interesting topic. Some believe free will and choice is an illusion. They're saying the conditioned human body/mind makes a decision and then the separate self claims that it was the one that made the decision. It's also recognized upon awakening that this separate self is also an illusion. So essentially they're saying everything; feelings thoughts ideas perceptions beliefs arise out of nothing and fall back into nothing... with no real meaning purpose or value for anything. The infinite communicating to the infinite.

Hi, Being is the opposite of seeking. Being is what is left when it is recognized there's nowhere to go nothing to do and no one to be.. Being is what is already the case, but it's what's recognized after the illusory sense of self crumbles away and THIS is all that remains. The egoic self agenda is eliminated. Being = THIS THIS = Being Being is all there is, everything else is unknowable ❤

Haha we are funny... I'm seriously trying to transition back to a whole food vegan diet. I've gained like 25 lb eating vegan junk food... here in California they have the Beyond burger at Carl's jr, and now Beyond sausage biscuit. Del Taco has the beyond meat for all of their burritos and tacos now and they have a delicious California epic burrito with french fries in it and guacamole. And then of course Burger King down the street has the impossible Burger and I can pretty much order anything vegetarian from Taco Bell. Help lol ?

I love you as well brother take care and talk with you soon ❤

You should change your forum name to Instigator7 lol... Life purpose is to live.. I never mentioned once about not helping people... it's just whether it's egoically driven or not. I value truth over being liked on the Forum...
