@cetus56 Okay gotcha!!

@cetus56 Was not aware of that. You can lock it if you want. Doesn't really matter to me..?

Okay haha...? I understand Well if you would have, I would have explained to you how every single one of those characteristics are not you. They're just a compilation of thoughts, perceptions and beliefs you have about yourself or have allowed yourself to believe. So essentially you are telling me that a bunch of words thoughts perceptions and beliefs are what make up Mikael. Mikael is more of an idea than a real entity... doesn't that seem a little funny. In fact the whole story of Mikael is just that... a story

Give me a list of 15 characteristics that you believe describe you...please lol Just 1 word characteristics like: nice

Suffering is caused by resistance... what are you resisting? Maybe try some self inquiry. Where is this ME character located in the body? Is it in the hands is it in the arms is it in the shoulders it is in the feet is it in your legs is it in your torso or your chest is it in your head is it behind your eyes where is this me characters location? What is this ME character made of?

Yes there's endless masks.... When you identify with the masks you are caught in Maya... When one becomes awake there is no longer an identification as the character. And that doesn't necessarily mean one stops playing the role of the character either... some do some don't

I guess it depends on what you consider a big deal... it's what is. When it's recognized there is not an individual ME character inside the body it can be very liberating... the suffering that was felt prior turns into something almost laughable. There are quite a few other things that occur when this illusion is completely seen through such as disentangling from social conditioning and snapping out of The Matrix(as I like to call it). Yes pain would still be experienced because the human body still has its sense perceptions. It's just not being experienced for an individual located inside the body anymore. Feelings sights sounds tastes smells all still occur... they just don't occur for anyone... it's just what's happening ❤

That's the cosmic joke.. there is no one under the mask... there never was Just compiled energy thinking it's a real person. The whole thing was a sham and a misidentification with the body. complete boundless free energy... It's truly unknowable and completely radical...❤

The resistance to what's happening in life causes suffering. Don't resist or fight against what is, just recognize you don't have control anyways, no one does.. having control is the dream of the individual and there isn't one. ❤ Accept yourself 100% exactly the way you are right now in every situation. Nothing needs to be done nothing needs to be found nothing needs to be attained. Completely accept life be grateful for it. Surrender to life... Enlightenment is freeing yourself from your own mind that keeps telling you something needs to be done to feel complete. You are already complete you are already perfect. The egoic mind says seek but do not find. The trick is to recognize it's an illusion and that you are already perfect and complete and nothing need be done...?

yes ma'am...Rodger that..❤ It was an ox ?

Yes it's part of the infinite as an illusion or imagination. When Awakening occurs and the illusion is completely seen through it's recognized it never existed.

@Anna1 I don't consider anyone that awakens special, it's just something that happens within THIS. People can still screw up... there are so many misconceptions about Awakening it's ridiculous. I have apologized to you for that multiple times. I was completely wasted and barely remember anything. I know that doesn't excuse the behavior...❤ I'm glad the mods were there to remove it. Sorry Talk 2 u soon ?

First and foremost I am speaking about Awakening not about calming the mind or enjoying life more in the illusion. Also when I use the words I or me it is just an expression so you understand what I'm talking about. Yeah the pathless path to the gateless gate. ❤ I'm not open to discussion because Im completely liberated from the egoic self agenda. I'm not seeking on this forum for advice. I've spoken about meditation and other practices before. Until recently it was recognized that although these practices appear to help with Awakening, they can actually perpetuate the belief in the self illusion and can prolong Awakening. If you read through a lot of my posts you will see that I talk about turning within often, because that was what led me to Awakening. I know your trying to look out for people's best intentions. ❤ Maybe I will try to label my post better specifically pointing out what I am targeting with the message. If you guys compile your questions I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. It's difficult for me to go through paragraph after paragraph trying to catch every question. I'm having a heck of a time just helping people understand Duality is an illusion. Everyone keeps talking about it as if it's real as if it's a part of the absolute. A fictitious belief created in the mind is not part of the absolute... because it was simply never real to begin with ❤

@Nahm

@Nahm I got a playing on my TV right now let's watch it together ?

Have you watched Samadhi part 1 (Maya the illusion of the self) ?

yes unconditional love agreed ❤ never thought God would need to practice so much ? THIS is God and it doesn't require anything. It's already perfection ❤

You drink alcohol to...oh god help us...jk ❤

Personal attack really....Anna here is what you said: What your preaching is very neo-advaita, and its not helpful. Everything I'm saying can be summed up very quickly and easily: 1) There's no separate ME character inside the body that is an illusion.( nonduality) 2) Practices are not required to have this recognition and in fact they often perpetuate the belief of the illusory self because one is trying to Enlighten the illusion. If this is neo-advaita then so be it. This message is from personal experience of becoming liberated from the egoic self agenda. Ps... My spiritual ego only puffs up when I'm drinking red wine lol.

There simply cannot be separation between something that's real and something that's unreal. If I had what seemingly appeared as two things: 1) A Dr. Pepper soda machine. 2) A Mirage of a Dr. Pepper soda machine. You can't say this is Duality because the Mirage of the soda machine technically isn't real. It was an illusion created in the mind. The only thing that's left is the real Dr. pepper soda machine. Even though it appeared to be two things, it was always just ONE. I like to use the ocean waves analogy: If you're standing on the beach and you look out at the ocean on a windy day, you can count millions of separate waves. Although each wave appears to be separate from the ocean, the reality is the waves were never separate, it was always just one ocean appearing to be many individual waves. You can call it an individual wave all you want... you can give it a name, an address, a birth certificate. After time It may even start believing it's an individual separate wave. On one particular day though that wave crashed into the beach, flattened out and sucked back into itself. Later on it got to experience itself as many different waves, but it could never again be tricked into believing it was a separate wave, because it recognized its true nature as the whole ocean. The illusion was completely seen through ❤ The moral of the story is the belief in Duality doesn't make it real. Fiction is fiction and truth is truth. A Fictitious belief is not part of the Absolute because it was never real to begin with... Just like unicorns and flying dragons are not real. Duality=illusion=Non-Duality ❤
