  1. Maybe It seems difficult because there is a belief that the individual has to recognize THIS. But when the individual gets out of the way or collapses, there's just clear seeing. And this doesn't mean all the questions get answered. It reveals the seeker or the questioner with all of its conditioned beliefs and concepts, was never real. ❤ Nothing actually needs to happen because it's already that way, it just needs to be seen clearly (hence the term Awakening)
  2. I understand everything you were saying. Underneath the stories there is a deep love and satisfaction for all of existence. Unconditional love ❤
  3. Fred Davis is pretty good. Jim Newman, Tony Parsons, Andreas Muller, Richard Sylvester, Robert Wolfe, Eckhart Tolle, Osho. ? ❤
  4. There is a conditioned body just like the tree, but it's empty of the individual... the self the me the I is the only absolutely unreal part of THIS entire appearance known as life. Check out 1:05 - 8:10
  5. Yes and seeing it clearly is key. The identification with the seeking energy and thoughts runs you around trying to find something that was never missing. The thoughts can still continue for some time they're just no longer identified with or taken seriously. The ego is identification.... it will constantly try to identify as something... see it for what it is and it will deconstruct itself sort of speak. ? ❤
  6. It's not a problem because the self was clearly seen to be non-existent.... so who would it be a problem for? Or in your belief structure, why would God have a problem? ❤
  7. Love, hate and self are illusory constructs of a conditioned mind. When the mind is empty of these concepts there's just everything and its freedom, salvation, enlightenment ❤
  8. Take a close look at what makes up this so-called "I". Deconstruct it....break it all the way down. There are memories, thoughts, beliefs feelings, ideas..... but does that accumulated bundle of things make up an "I".... or is "I" more of a concept of mind than a real individual? Take a real close LOOK. ❤
  9. Awakening is the recognition that there never was a "YOU" in which could be asleep or awake in the first place. It seems hidden by already being the case. Sort of like looking for your glasses when they're already on your head. ❤
  10. The peace and happiness longed for is the complete acceptance for each and every experience that seems to arise. Constantly striving for a better experience in the future seems to hide that freedom, and makes the present moment feel inadequate or less than. Everything is already whole, complete and perfect but you're too busy looking for something which is already the case.
  11. Maybe he means reality is already itself, already complete prior to the illusory individual attempting to place concepts and biases over top of it.
  12. Seems to be a survival tool run rampant and became an entity unto itself.
  13. Be the watcher. Watch the mind and how it operates. Create a gap between the thinking and the identifier.
  14. He is good ?... Although you can't really move closer or further away from that which is everything. The moving away from truth is just a concept of the mind. ❤
  15. What's karma? There's only what's happening regardless of whatever name its given.
  16. Yep free fall / dancing emptiness And even that is just a story ?
  17. Hard for who? There isn't a real YOU!! Stop identifying with the ME thoughts. Then its just thoughts for no one.
  18. It wants to understand THIS. It wants to place THIS apparent happening in a box and check it off as understood or figured out. It wants a belief system whether it knows it or not. It absolutely hates not knowing because this makes it feel vulnerable or insecure. It's always on the move keeping itself distracted from recognizing its own unreality as a real entity. There are no answers to THIS because any answer would just be another conditioned concept of the mind. In that sense, THIS is truly and always unknowable. And NO, it is not wrong to try because that would just be another conditioned concept of the Mind. ❤
  19. Enlightenment is recognizing YOU as the seeker of enlightenment is unreal. So the question is WHO is trying to get organized in pursuit of enlightenment? Take a close look ❤
  20. There will always be apparent inconveniences or emotionally tough situations. It's not avoidance,becoming naive or dis-attached to these situations, it's accepting them exactly the way they are(non resistance) and then adjusting. Riding the wave of change, not drowning in it. When the judgmental illusory 'YOU' gets out of the way, it just flows. Or "If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.” - Eckhart Tolle ❤
