  1. Yes exactly... feelings still arise but they don't feel personal and they absolutely do not linger here whatsoever like they used to. So there is nothing here enjoying everything after enlightenment ? and these feelings are deeper and richer than ever.
  2. ? ❤ time for bonus points haha...
  3. "All of this silly circus is simply the eternal play of oneness apparently seeking itself. It is the wonderful cosmic joke oneness plays on itself by pretending to be an individual seeking something called “not being an individual”. When it is suddenly and directly rediscovered by no-one that liberation brings with it the realisation that there is nothing to seek and no one to become liberated, then there is much laughter" - Tony Parsons
  4. ME 2...they are incredible movies ❤ so detailed!!
  5. Yeah its totally the best show in town. ❤ it's gloriously meaningless.
  6. Like it's real and unreal like it matters and doesn't matter. To an individual things matter to existence nothing matters. Ultimately nothing matters. Whether you spend your life in a cave or become the president of the United States they're both exactly the same thing. Pure free Boundless Energy with no meaning purpose or value whatsoever ❤
  7. Yeah definitely don't beat yourself up over this... it's completely normal and it's good that you recognize your judgments..❤ this is all just conditioning. Without our conditioned judgments on things, everything is neutral. There are no real good or bad's, should or shouldn't's. What happens is we place an overlay on top of reality. Without this overlay everything is just naturally flowing perfectly. Once we lay down this overlay, things that help the 'ME' character are labeled as good and things that do not are labeled as bad. If I think meditation and eating white rice are good, people that meditate and eat white rice are doing the right thing, if not they're doing the wrong. We think our perceptions are important but things are just happening whether or not we're sitting back judging them. Without our perception on life, things are just flowing perfectly. Nothing needs to change or be done. ?
  8. A crazy thing to recognize is nothing matters at all. Whether you suffer your whole life or have the best experiences and visit every single world attraction. Glancing down at a pile of dogshit on the sidewalk is exactly equal to any other life experience. None of it matters or holds any value whatsoever. Or you could say they both hold the exact same value. Completely neutral...equal 0. Nothing needs to happen, nothing needs to be done, nothing needs to be achieved. Everything is perfectly whole and complete nothing is missing, the separation never occurred it was an illusion. ❤
  9. It seems like there's a lot of things that can cause suffering but It ultimately boils down to "the resistance to what is happening". And yes, when you are identified as a separate self and it feels like it's happening to an individual ME character, it can intensify the feeling of personal suffering.
  10. The separate self is an illusion anyways so nothing really needs to happen. But If seeking happens, it happens...so it is. At the end of the journey, what's usually recognized is what was longed for was already the case. Everything is already perfectly whole and complete. All that's required are eyes to see this. ❤ Follow your heart for your truth...?
  11. Just tell them it's unknowable, which it is ❤
  12. Liberation can feel like the combination of a lot of different things, but it's really just freedom from our own minds. When I had my Awakening the energy of the Me character dissolved, which untangled me from social conditioning, and I snapped out of the Matrix. The egoic self agenda was completely seen through and was no longer able to control me. We go to Great Lengths to fix up our prisons and make them more comfy. When our self-image or sense of self-worth is still connected to the outcome of our actions, true freedom has not yet been achieved.(example: If your self-worth can feel diminished by your actions or lack thereof). When your self-image and sense of self-worth stays neutral whether you sit on the couch in your underwear eating cookies all day? Or save a family of 6 from a burning down building. You've reached liberation.
  13. Wow ? I'm in Ventura CA... I don't know any psychics, but you should check out Shakti Festival in May ❤ There'll be a lot of cool spiritual workshops & men group discussions.. I went last year. It's awesome.. best yoga experience of my life with Kia Miller https://bhaktifest.com/shaktifest/
  14. When I recognized the ME was an illusion, there was an energetic shift that took place. I started shedding these layers and feeling lighter and lighter until there was nothing left. I felt like I became nothing and simultaneously everything. I have been no-one for almost a year-and-a-half now lol. There's still a character left over the essence of me you could say. It's been pretty wild to say the least. ? When you become nothing you're free to be everything. No one can enter the gateless gate so be nobody. ❤
  15. What are you talkin about dude? There isn't even a you. You're not in control of anything, you don't exist.....a bird just flew over your head and you didn't even know it.
  16. I continue to hear this message around enlightened circles. Could it be true? 1) There are no individuals here on Earth. The individual is an illusion. 2) The supposed ME character is Just Energy identifying as a ME character within the human body. 3) Free Will and choice is an illusion. The human body/mind is not even aware that the illusory ME character is identified with the body and thinks it's in charge. 4) Basically, there is a conditioned human body running on autopilot and an energy within that body that thinks it is real. That energy is US, but there is no US...that's the illusion. There is no one here LOL... 5) There is no God in charge or running things. There is no meaning or purpose to anything. Nothing really matters. 6) Basically, everything Is real and unreal. It's wild chaotic Boundless Energy... pure beloved Anarchy! 7) Its THIS.... Is this anyone else's experience?
  17. *Breaking news* Humanity recognizes it's a complete illusion. We're all streaking to Arizona for an endless orgy for the remainder of existence...
  18. @Mafortu ❤ thanks for the info...checkin it out 4 sure ?
  19. My experience was similar to that of this video. I always show it to everyone it was a gift for me. ❤
  20. Yes It makes you feel like the world's going to end without it. It's never completely gone, but it deflates to a point where it's rendered harmless. ?
  21. Yes its just an accumulation of energy trying to be a ME. Its cool you understand this...good work!! Notice is and let it fall away like everything else ?
  22. "What is sought remains hidden from the seeker by already being everything. It is so obvious and simple that the grasping of it obscures it. Never found, never knowable, being is the consummate absence that is beyond measure. Looking for being is believing it is lost. Has anything been lost, or is it simply that the looking keeps it away? Does the beloved always dance constantly just beyond our serious focus? The very intention to seek for a mythical treasure within life inevitably obscures the reality that life is already the treasure. By seeking the myth it dreams it can attain, the seeker effectively avoids that which it most fears … its absence. Liberation is like a fuse that suddenly blows, and all the little lights go out and there is only light. This is not a message about you or me or anyone getting anything. This is about the realisation that there’s nothing to get … that what has been sought has never been lost. This isn’t about seeking or not seeking; it’s beyond the concepts of Advaita and non-dualism and beyond the idea of reaching states of awareness or mindfulness. There’s no goal. There’s nothing on offer. This is totally beyond knowing. This is really a description – a sharing together of a description of something that is beyond attainment, something that can’t be lost and also can’t be grasped or gained. All the time there’s separation there’s a sense of loss, there’s a sense of a feeling that there’s something that isn’t whole. And so the seeker attempts to fill that void, fill it with something – whatever. And some look to something called “enlightenment” because it is felt that enlightenment might be the thing that will fill this sense of loss; it could be the answer to some secret that we don’t quite get. And it sounds, when we read about enlightenment, as though somebody else has found the secret. But nobody’s found the secret. There’s no such thing as an enlightened person. It’s a complete misconception. But the difficulty is that being seekers, the energy of seeking pushes us into being attracted to the idea that somebody else has found something that we can find, because we grow up believing that effort brings results. So, if effort brings results, and we’ve heard of something called enlightenment or liberation, we can make the effort and then we can become liberated or enlightened … like this guy up the road we’ve heard about, or that woman that’s giving satsangs. They have got something that I want. If I go there I will learn how to get it. In the dream there’s still an idea that enlightenment or liberation is something that’s attainable. And so there are teachings that reinforce the idea that you are an individual that has choice, so now you, as an individual, can choose to self-enquire or to meditate, or whatever else, and eventually you could become enlightened. You can go all over the world and find teachings offering something to get. It is rare, however, to find an uncompromising communication that offers nothing at all to the seeker. This aliveness is nothing being everything. It’s just life happening. It’s not happening to anyone. There’s a whole set of experiences happening here and they’re happening in emptiness … they’re happening in free fall. They’re just what’s happening. All there is is life. All there is is beingness. There isn’t anyone that ever has or does not have it. There’s nobody that has life and somebody else doesn’t have life. There just is life being life. This message is so simple it totally confounds the mind. This message is too simple. Already your mind’s saying, “Yes, but come on … what about the levels of enlightenment and what about my emotional blocks, and what about my chakras, they’re not all fully open? What about my stillness – I’m not really still yet, and what about my ego? Somebody told me I still have an ego … it’s a bit reduced but it’s still there.” But all of that, all of those ideas are adopted lessons about how it should be. The ego is what’s happening. The ego is just being ego. Thinking is just being thinking. There is only being. There is just being. There’s nothing else. There’s nobody that’s running that. There’s no destiny, there’s no God, there’s no plan, there’s no script, there’s nowhere to go because there is only timeless being. Being is totally whole just being. And it is alive and fleshy and sexy and juicy and immediately this; it’s not some concept about ‘there’s no-one here’. It’s not some concept about ‘there’s nowhere to go’. It is the aliveness that’s in that body right now. There is pure beingness, pure aliveness. That’s it. End of story. Really it is simply that. So there is no-one, there is no choice. There is no choice at any level. Oneness didn’t choose to become two. There is just oneness. All there is, is oneness being alive with nobody doing it. Is anybody doing breathing? Is anybody doing blood circulation? Is anybody really doing anything? No. There is just apparent doing. Apparent life in freefall. There is no answer to life because life is its own answer. It’s happening already. It’s this. You never lost it. That’s the amazing thing about liberation. When liberation apparently happens people say, “It’s amazing because the thing I was looking for has never left me. It’s the one thing that never comes and never goes – the one constant that can’t be known or held onto.” And the one constant is being" - Tony Parsons (www.theopensecret.com)
  23. Unknowing comes to mind. Looking at the world again with childlike wonder and curiosity. With practice I've noticed the Mind slows down labeling and judging things when you don't pay it any attention. I like to use the mind now instead of it using me. At this point I am aware anytime I become identified with the mind it's pretty wild. The mind feels like a tool now that I can decide to use or not. As humans we place a customized overlay according to our conditioning over reality. What we perceive as helpful is labeled good and what we perceive as unhelpful is labeled bad. If it's something that goes along or helps the story of me it's good. But if somebody doesn't meditate do yoga, eat white rice or do what I think is good they're labeled as bad. Looking at the world for the first time everytime. ? Like abiding in unconditional love and forgiveness. ❤ like Jesus probably.
