  1. Remember its not about denial or detachment.(not saying your doing that) There was clearly a body that went through so-called traumatic and pleasant life experiences. There might even be pictures and or videos to back that fact up. It's about clearly seeing that the individual that identifies with the experiences and turns them into a good or bad personalized story, is an illusion. It's that conditioned self-centered perception that creates the dramatic dream story. It places a conditioned overlay imbued with meaning purpose and value over top of reality and operates from that perspective. When these memories are reflected upon after awakening, they are recognized to be more like fictional tales in which self-centered perception distorted the reality sort of speak. Suffering is recognized to be simply a misidentification with so-called conditioned negative thought patterns stemming from an unreal self-centered experiencer. ❤
  2. There is nothing wrong with this behavior. When that's realized the problem ends. There may even be less craving attention because you have allowed yourself to crave as much as you can handle. ❤
  3. It seems hidden by being everything. And its not what the 'ME' expects that's for sure ?
  4. Thanks for the share bro, I really like this video from him. Its cut and dry and he explains it as well as any I've heard. ?
  5. I understand it feels like there's someone here attacking your concepts, believes and or identify. I'm attempting to get you to examine whether this bundle of concepts beliefs ideas and thoughts being identified with, actually equal a real individual. Is there a real You underneath the habitual patterns of thinking and perceiving. Remember I don't say this to people walking down the street or anything like that. I say it to you guys on this forum that are attempting to find something that was never missing for an illusory individual. I'm attempting to throw something over the head of the individual. Because the individual cannot grasp what's being pointed to. ❤
  6. Thanks for the share. I have seen this more than once. There are some really good non dual pointers within. The video kind of comes off as a backlash against some very good non-dual teachers. Like an attempt to discredit them and their message. Just be careful not to completely throw out the baby with the bathwater sort of speak, there are nuggets of wisdom throughout all teachings. ❤
  7. It's unknowable... And there is absolutely nothing wrong with attempting to know. Trying to know and not knowing are perfect zeros. ❤
  8. That which believes its God is nothing other than ego....bet on that ?
  9. Ego knows nothing of death because its real identification. It can't even begin to fathom its own unreality. Ego is cunning. It will fake its disappearance if necessary.
  10. Nice ? Like trying to point at gravity... sure it has an effect like ego, but there's nothing solid to point at.
  11. Very true, and what makes it even stranger is that afterwards the experience is realized to be more of an non happening or non experience. For how can a non experience really be pointed to. ?
  12. Yes that's true and its extremely rare. Usually it's a loosening up of identification as the ego construct.(glimpse) Typically the identification returns and hijacks it, turing it back into MY experience. But yes even a glimpse can have a rather large apparent impact. ?
  13. Yes, the ego is identification with conditioned thoughts/feelings of separation. Ego = identification It's not a real entity, it's a misidentification. When it's recognized BY NO ONE that the individual is an illusion, the disentangling happens by itself sort of speak and in most cases not instantly either. ❤
  14. Relatively is another name for separation or duality. Its a fictional story in which an individual living in a world of meaning, purpose and value, endlessly strives for fulfillment in the future. In that relative dream story the individual never finds what's truly longed for because what's truly longed for is the end of feeling separate. What's longed for is the end of ME that feels separate, incomplete or lacking. The cosmic joke is that "the separation never occurred" -ACIM It was only a dream story all along. ❤
  15. What's to know about anything, its already itself. EVERYTHING is already what it is. Its a Done Deal.
  16. @RMQualtrough You are onto something that was never actually hidden. Nice inquiry ?
  17. Are you asking? Has the homo sapiens mind evolved to the extent that it now has the capacity to become an entity unto itself, and therefore believes itself to be real and does not want to die. Maybe it deep down subconsciously knows it isn't real and tries extra hard to prove its reality. When identified as it, it seems to have an actual physical effect, so it seems more than just a thought... when identified as it, it becomes an actual experience in the body as well. That experience is, I am here, I am real and everything else is out there and I need to defend myself. Maybe just maybe but who would know ❤
  18. This is ? It's not about detachment though. Detachment sounds like a forced action. Its seeing clearly. For example: The Mirage of water up ahead in the desert looks convincing, but say you then pick up your binoculars and see through the Mirage that there is in fact no water at that location. There would be no need to detach because it was simply seen clearly... Seeing through it clearly WAS the Detachment process sort of speak. ❤
  19. It's so free that you can call nothing something and simultaneously believe it matters. Now that's what I call Freedom ?
