VeganAwake

I used to occasionally speak with Robert on the phone years ago when I was going through an awakening of sorts. He has since passed away but I always enjoyed his videos........check it out

You believing there is a conflict which needs correction is your own internal conflict......it's your self created mind prison 😉

There's no conflict. It's completely normal happenings given the 7.8 billion people on one planet.

Life is the phase and everything is the path. Dont believe the feelings of being off track. It's a pathless path and everything is IT. Sometimes it can fell like rolling a bolder up a mountain. Sounds like maturity is taking its place! Rest well keep stretching and doing physical therapy. prayers for a healthy recovery 🙏 ❤️

Maybe you're the kind of person that keeps chasing a mirage of a cold Dr Pepper machine through the desert. Nothing wrong with that 👌 ❤️

The sense of self/illusion/ego is very stubborn and sneaky. It's illusory survival tactic will even attempt to identify as nothing or the unnamable or as everything/infinity/god or whatever............this is a super common phenomenon when there is a spirituality background...... I have heard it referred to as Spiritual Ego. It doesn't want to die, it simply cant recognize its own unreality. It attempts to survive in every way possible......trust! Recognition doesn't require a witness or an owner. Thats the shocker! There isn't a true self or higher self or unnamed self or true nature self or infinite self or invisible self or dualistic self or relative self All selves are an illusion attempting to remain intact.........it's just an identification preservation tactic of something that's already not there! This phenomenon is either clearly recognized, or it isn't. Even the slightest sliver of self identification is being completely asleep. Enlightenment is when it is absolutely clear that this self illusion was never there from the start. It was always unreal. It's not a denial or bypass or brainwashing or disattchment process. Either it's clearly seen to have never been or it is not.......end of story! 💞

Sounds like a solid plan if you want to be a tired horny frugivore 🤣

No one is here, nothing was created, nothing is witnessing and nobody knows it! It's fucking radical, completely illogical .........total anarchy describes it pretty well. ❤️

There isn't a something or someone to always be............. that very experience or feeling of there being a witness to it all........is the illusion of self. The witness doesn't exist.......it never did! That's the big shocker or cosmic joke! It's emptiness 😱

For me the word God refers to an eternal creator of some sorts. All knowing All powerful Yada Yada Yada Completely shattering this deep seeded belief is required to really get outside of this whole paradigm and realize just how ridiculous of a story it truly is. Hey maybe there's a pink polka dot dragon that flies around the cosmos farting out planets from its anus and belching stars 🤣 yippee, I'll believe that one! ❤️

For example, I have only come across maybe 2 members on this forum since around 2018 that even remotely reflect a clear, solid recognition if you will. And even on YouTube, I have only noticed maybe 7 total in the last 6 or 7 years. Even more interesting is that most can seem very convincing for a while, but then fall back into the dream story/matrix rather quickly. See, its not an achievement or something that can be worked towards with spiritual practices. In fact, just the very knowledge of there being an achievable goal in the future called Enlightenment, seems to be the biggest spiritual/religious trap of all time. The very act of pursuing it only reinforces the illusory experience of being a separate individual that can one day become whole and completely satisfied! But self illusions for some apparent reason, never become satisfied. They endlessly seek and long for something better in the future. Self illusion = Unsatisfactory experience. Either the self illusion ends or it doesn't. Nothing can be done. Its completely hopeless in that sense. Ultimately it doesn't matter at all. Why? because the individual labeling things with a scale of importance,..........Isn't Real! ❤️

It's more like recognizing this needy individual that believes it could possibly grasp infinity, isn't actually real, thus making "knowing" an impossibility. But there is nothing right or wrong with trying either 🤙

Awakening refers to this apparent reality, including the conditioned human perception that its typically judged with. Ultimately, reality isn't good or bad or confused or suffering or ignorant. These are conceptual human labels.........reality doesn't require a label.......it just "is what it is" Thats why reality is often referred to as nothingness.............without a label or judgment placed on it, .........it's just an empty happening. Full of appearance and simultaneously empty of meaning. Exploding with light, colors, sounds, smells..............but ultimately empty of meaning, purpose and value ✨️ Full and empty at the same time. Looking at reality completely judgment free. ❤️

People fear the unfamiliar. The answer is fear!

Every path taken is perfection, but knowing it's also where you stand is the freedom!

Im gonna slap the crap out yo neural pathway 🤣

There isn't a "you" to be or to recognize the tao. It's just tao lol That which wants to be the tao is illusory. ❤️

The matrix isn't actually real. It's just a word describing physical reality through the lens of the socially conditioned me character. ❤️

I think it's very very slowly becoming more common. 🤷‍♂️

Clearly seeing that the me character attempting to become enlightened isn't real and never was! ❤️

It can be called anything. There is a physical body over here and a physical body over there typing on this forum............ just like a deer in the woods or a dog and cat in the house............ but they are all equally empty. Everything that appears is a part of Everything/Tao. Nothing is excluded. But that which wants to be a self or god or consciousness or the eternal tao.........is the illusion. Illusions of identity and they were never real from the start. ❤️

Everything is the Eternal Tao including the attempts to use words to point or tell. It's not somewhere else, it's everything. That what nonduality is pointing out. There isn't a "not that" to point at "what is that" ❤️ The separation is an illusion 🫶

This is a great example of how a self illusion reacts when its belief system is challenged or threatened! It attempts to discredit the threat at all costs. See, if you can kill the messenger, you don't have to take seriously the implications of the message. It's just a lazy survival tactic of an insecure self illusion. Maybe the self illusion will be seen through over there, maybe not. Either way it doesn't matter because that individual isn't real. It lives in a dream story/matrix where meaning, purpose and value are inherently important. ❤️
