  1. Yeah it's funny how things make sense in your head and then when you post it you realize it is all over the place. Kind of works out because I'm an all over the place kind of nobody ? Thanks for the feedback ❤
  2. You're very welcome. That whole explanation of course is also just a story but can seem to pack a punch. ❤
  3. There is a reason why it's called awakening or non-dual awareness. It's kind of like if your roommate started going into a very detailed and dramatic story about his dream last night at the breakfast table. When he starts slamming the table and crying into his eggs about why things went the way they did, it becomes obvious there's an inherent misunderstanding that's not being recognized. It's not that there isn't empathy for the feelings or emotions experienced about the dream. It's that the best way to help your friend get over his apparent dilemma isn't by reinforcing the delusions that there is in fact a real dilemma. It's by pointing out that this whole apparent dilemma is founded within a dualistic dream story of separation where meaning, purpose and value seem convincingly real but are ultimately NOT. ❤
  4. you can't know that it's not that either it's just whatever is apparently happening ?
  5. This is what's referred to here as the spiritual ego. But don't take my word for it, investigate whether or not this unlimited being is real or just a new ego identification in a last-ditch-effort to avoid its demise. ❤
  6. Just allow the thoughts and feelings to arise. There's no one doing it anyways. Don't focus on them and simultaneously don't resist them either...is the middle path. ❤
  7. Thx, I love to throw a little more fun into the mix when possible. ?
  8. Who is asking the question "what are good self-inquiry questions to ask"?
  9. A crazy recognition is that there already isn't anyone to stop seeking... there never was an individual that could be complete or incomplete in the first place. It's wild. The seeking energy feels separate and lacking & attempts to find a solution to an unreal problem. It will even try not seeking as a way to get what it believes is missing.... Yeah it's a real mind-f*** ❤
  10. Yes the seeking energy feels constantly needy, lacking, incomplete and unfulfilled.... it feels like it's missing out on something right? I call this FOMO, fear of missing out. Do you think it's possible for that experience of lack and unfulfillment to be recognized as a completely false claim? ❤
  11. Enlightenment reveals the questioner is an illusion. It's the end of questions and answers. God I hope you become enlightened soon!! Joke! ❤
  12. @WokeBloke This video is a perfect description of reality ?
  13. This reminds me of a short poem about the problem with overthinking things. The Centipede's Dilemma A centipede was happy - quite! Until a toad in fun Said, "Pray, which leg moves after which?" This raised her doubts to such a pitch, She fell exhausted in the ditch Not knowing how to run. ❤
  14. The body just moves and then the sense of self claims "I did that"
  15. I can see eyebrows eyelashes cheeks nose lips and tongue
  16. Gotcha, yes I understand what you're saying. When the word illusion is used here it's pointing to an experience that seems real but is completely unreal. ❤
  17. The word points to the end of the experience of separation or enlightenment, samadhi, nirvana, awakening, moksha, liberation, freedom, paradise, this. ❤
  18. There just isn't someone there waiting to attain mahasamadhi. That's the cosmic joke. Like a self-perpetuating illusion, the waiting/seeking perpetuates the belief that there is in fact a real individual that can one day arrive at enlightenment. This never happens. Enlightenment is the recognition there was never someone separate from it in the first place. ❤
