I need to organize my book shelf and create a collection in my common place book of all the books I've read, own and want to buy. I have been putting this off.

There relative duality in the non-duality

@Breakingthewall How does consciousness imply duality?

Life needs to be looked at holistically, and realistically. Does it hurt me I may never be in a great band like Arcadefire? Yes, it does. But, I can still enjoy the music and I can still build my own thing. I am a good musician as well. Who knows what maturity will bring.

I want to keep refining my life each day. My debt is an issue. My plans are changing around it. It really needs to be a primary focus. It will get paid, I see it coming down. I’ve paid off some debt this year. But, for my mental health and vitality I have to balance myself which means there is no quick fix. My personal finance spreadsheets are accessible on my phone and laptop. This means I can easily review it at any time and on a regular basis. I also have a debt repayment calculator for a truth based approach to debt repayment and future debt free living. Other than increasing my income. It’s sort of a shitty position to be in… but, at least I am here and it’s making me learn. I have my vision for debt free living. I am maturing greatly financially through this set back. I have everything I need. I have plenty of books, I live in a good place, I have my Qigong certification, I have plenty of books. Of course, I want to buy more courses, books, etc but lack the funds to do so. Which is a cause for hopelessness if my past. However, with YouTube, ChatGPT, the books I have, libraries, and budgeting small book purchases each month I can ensure I continue learning while paying down debt. Each week I will continue to develop professionally at my day job, develop my speaking skills/ leadership at Toast Masters, develop my Qigong teaching skills by making a video and running a live on Saturday. I will also continue to contact local places to begin teaching local classes. I will likely host a bi-weekly Meetup group. I Will continue to refine my nutrition, sleep, rest, and phone use. I Will continue to attend Pace groups to get my socialization needs met. The app has been a huge help. I will also each week improve my task management, to do lists, and practical budgeting. Each week I will move inch but inch towards my goal of teaching Qigong full time.

Things I will be teaching over the coming years: ChatGPT generated list: Certainly! Qigong practice offers various benefits, including: 1. Improved physical health 2. Enhanced mental clarity 3. Stress reduction 4. Boosted immune system 5. Increased energy levels 6. Better balance and coordination 7. Enhanced flexibility 8. Improved circulation 9. Enhanced mindfulness 10. Reduced anxiety 11. Enhanced self-awareness 12. Strengthened respiratory system 13. Increased vitality 14. Better posture 15. Improved sleep quality 16. Enhanced focus and concentration 17. Emotional balance 18. Pain relief 19. Lowered blood pressure 20. Overall sense of well-being

I’ve experienced states so radically different from normal human reality that… what we are speaking about is… infinite and it’s alive, and it’s intelligent, and it’s not random. It has no limitation except the one it wills. It’s the only thing that exists, and is utter perfection. Because of this the only thing for it to do is dream, and explore, and enjoy the dramas that it creates for itself. You whole like is the mask that God is wearing. All your limitations are actually your will. Not the human will, but God’s will. It’s like God designs video games for itself .

@Breakingthewall I do kindly disagree. You could say you are God dreaming the world. Many people who realized this do say this. Including the Aztecs, It doesn’t imply duality at all. How would an omnipotent God be a limitation? What exists is unlimited Mind, infinite mind. It’s consciousness. So, it has infinite will. It can sub divide the will and artifially limit itself. Here you are as a human.

@Inliytened1 ah I see

@Inliytened1 Except God is consciousness which is sneaky. God realization is a radical state, but God is also normal states.

Every dollar has a purpose

All of us are (ideally) learning and growing and expanding our understanding of what truth is. Which, I think is Good

Haha, I love this shit. But, I am working on not engaging.

This is what I am saying. You can’t use Aristotelian logic to understand God. Your logic is not adequate for understanding God. You have very poor theoretical understanding of God in this area. You + God = 1 You, yoooou, sneakily are sliding in duality. God is not an object that exists in duality. It also IS duality. That’s how non-dual it is.

Though, it may take time for me to change this.

I Will be limiting my time on this forum going forward. I just wasted valuable time this morning “arguing” over whether “I am God” or “There is only pure consciousness” or “my hands are just a thought”… all of this is for fools and retards to debate about. God obviously transcends identity. To say your true nature is God, is true. Not an identity. Being gaslit for days on this is very annoying. I will work to not longer engage in debate around this subject and waste valuable time that is to be put towards my life purpose and my own deepening of my life.

Yes, direct pure consciousness. Yes, that is what God is. You are that. Thinking you are pure consciousness and that that isn’t God is delusion. You are God. There is nothing else in reality. It’s not an identity.

Idk, I am open to everything and I’ve seen a lot of the comments here many times. Reality is challenging to understand. Many of us here have had direct insight to things regarding God and consciousness. But, how we choose to explain it and relate to it is different amongst us. I can only ever speak for my own experiences, can only ever use my own vocabulary on a forum to explain it. A problem I see is when one person says their words for explaining it are correct, Ivankiss, and everyone else’s words are wrong. Sort of hypocritical if you think about it. If I call it “The Self”, then you say “No words or identifiers are God” and then I say I agree. Then you say “It’s just pure consciousness” and I say I agree. Then, i could said “No words can be used to describe it, it’s not the words ‘pure consciousness’. It’s silly

Reality is just a miracle
