@Nemo28 your welcome ?

Really love this lady... she actually passed away a couple years ago ❤

Exactly.... the story of the ME character falls away...Maya is seen through. ?

Yes we are definitely going around in circles. I think it can all be chalked up to just sharing different opinions. No need to even call it a disagreement there's a kernel of Truth and everything. Let's just leave it at that ❤ I am still your friend and I'm always here to chat ... These good deep conversations is really when the best learning takes place?

@LfcCharlie4 Im sure that some of their material can be helpful. I've listened to several of their videos including their Enlightenment video. It really sounds like they're trying to repackage spiritual self-help material and sell it as a process of Awakening. When I watched their Enlightenment video... I was really surprised at how hesitant they seemed to even discuss the topic. In my observation they appeared to just dance around any meaningful discussions about what enlightenment actually is. I couldn't even finish the video it was ridiculous. Now obviously Enlightenment is a tough topic to discuss but that would play right into their benefit of assisting people to awaken when they're not even really sure what it consists of. They seem very loving and authentic... I can tell they truly care about helping people. I'm here to help as well, which is why I share some of my thoughts and opinions... (Update) I just watched their video again.. Now they discussed recognizing the true self as the absolute.. but they completely left out recognizing Maya the illusion of the self (most important part in my opinion).. and how the egoic self agenda will keep you running on the hamster wheel seeking outside of yourself to feel complete. Basically the understanding that your mind is controlling you. See without having this experience( completely seeing through the illusion) you would just tack on the knowledge that you are the absolute and can become a very bad spiritual ego. To not mention that in an Enlightenment discussion would be a major red flag in my opinion and a clear misunderstanding of the whole picture of Awakening or enlightenment. Now I'm not saying they don't understand this or mention it elsewhere I'm just saying what I noticed from watching their basic videos ❤

Well they probably won't rate you too low... that might insult you and turn away the paying customer... My guess is somewhere in the low-to-mid 500's so they can work you up and collect payment. ❤

Nice that's right... what is driving you to do all this seeking and practicing. What is driving that machine over there? Turn within and investigate... the answer is quite surprising!!❤

It's amazing how stored energy and thoughts become a real felt entity... Once one becomes aware of this and investigates, the energy seems to dissipate and then it's recognized it was never real to begin with. So wild ?

Yeah!

What you are experiencing right now is all that there is. Its THIS and its everything and nothing... it's the best show in town.. don't miss it seeking for something illusory ?

I think a lot of the surprise Factor depends on your level of attachment to the self image, and of course how clearly the illusion is seen through. In my own experience it was more of a shock like WTF. Gradual Awakenings are even a little dull sometimes because of the belief that something was radically going to happen... sometimes it's instant sometimes it's a gradual recognition. Each has its ups and downs that's for sure.

Yes exactly. The "I" thought loves to take credit for anything perceived as good and then blame someone else if it's perceived as bad..lol

I had that feeling as well, it's radical to think about...

Pretending to know is the sickness and Samadhi is the cure. Please stop pretending, it's so obvious ?

Yes..Unconditional love and forgiveness ❤ This is a very powerful story of how a woman forgave her son's murder.. she describes unforgiveness as a cancer that eats you from the inside out. ❤

Nonduality teacher Jim Newman This video mimicked almost identically my own experience...❤

Those are good ideas and advice thank you ❤

Is it because he doesn't have a beard and talk slow enough? Hehe joking.. He grew up as a hardcore Christian ...pretty interesting story.. He's not vegan though so that's a huge area for improvement... That was another joke ?

@TrynaBeTurquoise ❤ your very welcome ?

Sorry lol...you are my favorite ? Watch from 45 sec on ❤

yes I honestly thought this portion would be a dead giveaway that it was a joke: ❤ I was thinking about changing my profile name from VeganAwake to Duality Police I wanted to see what you guys thought first before making any super important complex choices.

And what lies are those my friend. I'm pretty sure I can quit well backup everything I've ever discussed on this forum. Why do you think I'm acting or playing? That last post was a joke to try to get some laughs. I apologize if it sounded like I was trying to be a jerk it was out of fun.. guess it was bad timing... I was trying to lighten the mood ❤ I use videos that I've watched and listened to because I do not need to reinvent the wheel and spend an hour typing a message... a lot of times the videos I post are describing exactly that of my own experience. I do not discuss anything on here that I have not personally experienced.

I was thinking about changing my profile name from VeganAwake to Duality Police I wanted to see what you guys thought first before making any super important complex choices. I was even thinking that maybe Leo would be willing to pay me a little bit for my services... maybe just a hundred bucks a month... My main job would be to infiltrate dualistic conversational threads posing to be nonduality topics and straighten them away as quick as possible. The other profile name I was thinking was MillennialParadigmShatterer or MPS for short.. What do you guys think?
