It's not something that's remembered, it's a clear recognition that this seemingly real self is a complete illusion. It's a completely personal experience with an impersonal outcome. So-called positive and negative emotions and feelings can still arise but they are no longer identified with by the sticky self illusion claiming ownership over all experience.(ie. my emotional baggage). And yes of course human problems still arise like needing money to purchase food and a place to live. Nothing matters transcends the self illusion that would immediately ask the question "so then what do I get out of it" or "so how does this help me". It's the recognition there isn't a ME, there only seems to be. ❤

Well the message attempts to point out that the individual experiencer of said emotions is an illusion of self. So in that sense it's a completely useless message because it disregards the wants and needs of an illusory individual searching for a correct recipe to deal with life's problems. Simply put: It doesn't leave a leg for the "sense of self" to stand on. There isn't a solution for an unreal problem. ❤

Its everything... love fear happiness sadness anger bliss jealousy confusion excitement contentment loathing. It can't be pinned down and hung on a nail or squeezed into a label box. Why would anyone want to. ❤

❤ Yes its frustrating. That's why it's referred to as the cosmic joke. The ME that finds it frustrating isn't a real entity. The ME that feels like it needs to find something or understand something for liberation to occur isn't a real entity. Yes, emotions arise in the body and this message is not denying that. This message is saying there isn't a real owner of these emotions and feelings.... it's an illusion of self. And this recognition can be shockingly ordinary. ❤

I'm not trying to criticize or pick on you or anything like that. I'm hoping you can see how many concepts are typically held about the right or wrong way to be spiritual... there spewing out of the top for most so-called spiritual people. Liberation has nothing to do with somehow falling into alignment with all these so-called correct spiritual concepts and landing on the one perfect path. It's literally recognizing all these concepts are held by an imaginary "sense of self" attempting to get somewhere on the so-called spiritual path. There's nowhere to get to and no one that could get there. ❤

If nothing matters then there ALSO isn't a problem with "you" going into your feelings to so-called properly deal with them... Spiritual bypassing/mental masturbation isn't real because it suggests that there is a real wrong path that someone could accidentally take leading them further away from the correct path. When it's recognized that there isn't a real right or wrong path, the idea of spiritual bypassing becomes a silly concept within the dream story of being a separate individual. Don't paint your Prison Walls pink... See that their parameters are unreal. ❤

Liberation is recognizing the very one seeking liberation isn't real. It has nothing to do with a new righteous self-proclaimed identification as this or that. And that recognition doesn't matter at all because no one acquires anything..... no one becomes enlightened and reaps the apparent benefits. Its the end of those illusory needs. ❤

? & the really insane part is it's not even real.

He's kind of skimming the surface. It's clearly seeing this fantastic incredible individual is an illusion. It's not an action like attempting to become dumb. Its an unhappening which also sounds like an action but it is not. Enlightenment is so already the case that it seems hidden. And It seems hidden by already being everything. ❤

?And simultaneously there's nothing wrong with thinking you know. Right or wrong, this or that are dream story concepts of an illusory individual or knower.

Yes levels are within the dream story of a separate individual that believes it can get somewhere else. There is no where to get to and no one in which could get there. ❤

Everyone has fear it's the nature of the human. Just see it for what it is and it stops being so scary. ❤

Love is acceptance of everything exactly the way it is.. It's unconditional. It has nothing to do with hugs, kisses and feelings and simultaneously it's that as well.

❤

Yes because any label given to THIS is just a concept of a conditioned mind. It's neither real nor unreal. It can never be pinned down labeled or hung on a nail because it's everything and simultaneously nothing. And that's the freedom longed for.... knowing that THIS is completely unknowable. ❤

❤ ? Do sensations, thoughts, stories, and experiences equal a ME having them? Or do they just seem to happen?

?

You are trying to find a way to escape death and there already isn't someone that's living.... it's an illusion of self. It's hopeless and that's simultaneously the freedom. ❤

Whether it's given the name illusion or reality doesn't matter in the slightest. It's just what seems to be happening. Reality equates to a dreamlike experience because when you awake in the morning the dreaming ends... when the body/mind dies the experience of being alive ends. So what happens in the dream doesn't matter and what happens in apparent reality also doesn't matter. No one gets out alive. ❤

There isn't a lower self or a higher self, they are both the same illusion of self. ❤

It only seems like it's in the opposite direction or any direction for that matter because the individual feels like something's missing and needs to be found. Nothing is missing because the individual that believes something is missing, isn't real. It's impossible to get closer or further away. It's not something that's learned or found either. It's the end of the experience that something was missing for someone. ❤

There will always seem to be a character that prefers coffee over tea, will turn its head if its name is called, and jump out of the way of a moving train.... nothing can ever touch that so-called character. Awakening is recognizing these responses within the body/mind do not equal an individual.... There is an apparent conditioned body, but there is No One inside of it. Its emptiness or energy believing it's an important separate individual. Awakening is freedom from the very individual that thinks it needs to get free. They're already isn't an individual it just seems like there is. ❤ ❤ ❤

You're burning out because so-called spirituality isn't something separate than everyday life. The map IS also the territory, there is no separation. The apparent issue is an illusory individual attempts to find a particular something within everything in a futile attempt to make everything better... but there is only everything without separation already. There's no getting outside of everything to point at it and say 'see i found everything, it's right there' and this is the path which led "ME" there. There's nothing in particular to find, everything is already whole, complete and perfect......this recognition is like Kryptonite to the "sense of self" which lives in a world of meaning, purpose and value where something always feels like it needs to be found. Nothing is missing already. That's the Cosmic Joke and Open Secret. ❤
