No… you are either deliberately ignoring what I am saying or there is communication breakdown. I am consciousness, I’ve had plenty of direct experiences into infinity, and pure consciousness. At the end of the day that’s what I am. I don’t really care how your framework it in your own mind, with or without symbols or identifiers. You’re essentially doing that anyway with your own arguments. Calling it pure consciousness is a word. Calling it “I” is a word. So, what’s the difference? There isn’t one to a Jnani. I can’t look at this thread anymore haha -

Hands are a thought on one level. But, can you look at your hands and see the direct pure qualia? -

Do you think you’re speaking to a bunch of retards? At this point, many of us know the difference between words and direct consciousness and state. -

There is no where to go but here 😉 Thread is sort of silly -

@ivankiss I am agreeing with you in my mind. But, also you can’t deny your direct experience without being lost in your mind. There are hands here. The pure ness of consciousness is The Self, as Ramana Maharshi would call it. The consciousness without an “I” would still be “You” It just “Is”. So it’s you, and not you. Still “I” -

Yeah? Well what else is there RIGHT NOW?! Something your imaging? Like, come on guys. Nothing exists for you other than your life right now. Whatever state you are in. That’s it. Sure, in a sense there is the relative domain of your life, the year, the who, etc… but that relativity is held in the absolute now. That it’s absolutely true. What is absolutely true is simply what is the case. -

Saying I am God, and I am not God is true. We need a more Toaist approach. You can’t understand God using Aristotelian logic. -

In a sense, Your hands right now and your human experience is what is true. So, whether it’s an illusion it’s also more true than another state which you are calling “God”. What is absolutely true is your life right now. Denying that most fundamental aspect can make spirituality difficult if not impossible. Imagining God is somewhere else, some other state, some other thing outside of you isn’t exactly true. God is a transcendant thing that exists in sort of a super position. Your whole life is God’s dream. You are dreaming your finite identity. God does not need an identity to know it’s God. God is infinite intelligence/ mind/ consciousness. It is consciousness, which is what you are. If God in a dream realizes it’s true nature and the finite self realizes it’s God, it can say what it knows but often with will not be knowledge confirmed by any “other”. There isn’t anything that is not God. Human experience is God’s mask, but that is what it is doing. That’s what it is. That’s how it shows up at this moment. It’s you. That’s what you are. Regardless of your identity you are God. You can’t escape it. You can say “I exist” without it being an identity. You exist without identity. Being is fundamental. You are being. Language is limited. You are God. It’s impossible not to be God. My final comment on this thread of symbolic bullshit. -

@ivankiss I think you are hung up on language. You could have 10 people here say “I am God” each with a different understanding of what that means. It can be said as an identity, or it can be said because someone has realized their true nature. Then, when they share it… you accuse them of building an identity. You don’t know what other people have experienced. But, “I am That” Is true. Realizing you are “The Self” is not identity but what remains, and permeates every facet of reality. -
There is a bit more pressure now in that I want the brand to develop and be known for quality (Which will take time), But also I am getting more and more viewers all the time. So I want to look clean, calm, cool and professional at what I do. That will come through, people will feel it.

I've decided to take it down and refilm it. I did another routine after that was different but the sleeves were correct. IT looks much better. The one long sleeve look is bad. Removing that video and recreating it.

I do enjoy accounting. I like the idea of developing a highly, organized and pragmatic mind. But, I also have to nourish my more spontaneous, playful, ecstatic and creative side..... and also my side that is a merge or my inner scientist, healer, and spiritual master. To develop deeply my personal finances, and my business, and my Qigong, my relationship, my nutrition, etc.... I want to create a profound life. I have been watching some documentaries lately and I see how brutal a human existence can be. It is frightening and challenging witness reality and the things that exist on this planet. It can make you feel ill. But, in that, in that understanding of the harshness is also the seed of purpose. To rise above the challenges you face and to be an inspiration to others. I am only just beginning in this regard with my youtube channel, and teaching Qigong locally. Soon, my Qigong will be a business. I am annoyed about my sleeve being a little long in my video. I've even had thoughts of refilming it because I realize how much I would like to maximize the quality of my work. I want the EQ brand to be strong and recognized for quality. At the same time, I want to honour the work I did. I may refilm it, but I am not sure. With Qigong videos it may be just best to reuse the routine next month and film it again leaving the video in place. I have not yet repeated any of my sequences. But, I will begin doing so with different titles. There is nothing wrong with reusing my routines in other videos later on, making adjustments and refilming them in better quality. I like that each time I make a video I write out a routine which I can look back on, improve and reuse. I want to make thousands of videos over the course of my career. I also want to being to a lot more teacher sessions on zoom. I am considering offering a class each day in the future, maybe multiple classes a day. But, I am not sure yet. I want to go deeper into understanding everything I need to launch my business. Finances are an issue that hold me back. But, that being said I think the slowed down pace my financial situation has caused is making me learn so much about the value of what I am creating, how hard it is to do, and why I deserve to get paid in the long run. I have to get over the fear of getting paid. I am working on that. As I grow in my confidence as a teacher, in the theory etc... IT will come.

I am in the process of mastering life. I don't know what challenges I will face. But, I will do whatever I can do honour each day, and each year of my life.

Feeling fear and anxiety this evening. There is work to be done. The anxiety is from a change I feel coming in my life. Healthy, normal. Will go through it mindful. I also had a bit of perfectionism around a sleeve that was longer than the other in one of my videos. It’s okay, I say to myself. On to the next video. I want to produce high quality Qigong videos, but, also avoid perfectionism

To build something of great value that will ripple through humanity for hundreds, or thousands of years is to create something which is fully holistic and encourages the increasing of consciousness, wisdom, health, maturity, long term thinking, ecology, longevity, respect, integrity, truth, peace, Godliness, etc This great value need not be noticed, seen or recognize as something “I” did, or “you” did but something which exists, is the case and really is if authentic value to society.

True power for a human is to be well adapted to human existence through experience, education and self reflection. A truly powerful person is the result of a generally long term process of work, dedication and refining of one’s whole process and being. They have refined their cognitive processes, had many awakenings, developed sufficient life experience including success and failure, they have done shadow work, they have observed and contemplated in great depth beyond the average of what the human predicament is. They are loving, fully experiencing and One. A truly powerful human is deeply loving, grounded in Teotle, loving, wise, educated, integrous, mature. From this deep root ness they partake in the world of business and human affairs and work to bring more balance and harmony to the world around them. True power stems from a place of wisdom and love, it sees things in wholes, its systems thinking, it works for the greater good of all. It is not foolishly selfish, nor foolishly selfless. It has found and embodies a sublime balance.

True power… is not physical strength but a healthy, stable, mind-body, and a well refined vision and long term, daily execution on the task at hand. True strength is persisting over a long period of time. It largely has to do with your intelligence , knowledge, awareness, perception and ability to align your thoughts, actions, and perceptions with what is actually true. The more truth oriented you are, the more wise and mature you are, the more experienced you are, the more healthy you are, the more patient you are, the more organized you are, the more you think well, act well, do well. The more powerful you are. To really build a deep foundation requires time, thinking, planning, calculating, feeling, doing, visualizing, measuring, creating, readjusting, refining, continuing, adapting, overcoming, learning, organizing, cleaning, maintaining, growing, pruning, letting go, healing, etc Ultimately a powerful person is an Actualized person.

Perhaps join in a meditation in they have one -
Embracing ambiguity in how you feel, think and what you know, is an important aspect of mindfulness. As you sit, notice how emotions come and go. How thoughts come and go. Notice during a sit moments of deep peace, when old memories arrive, when the mind is busy, when it’s calm, when it forgets, when it remembers, when it has insights, when it jams out to a song that the mind remembered. Notice how the mind goes, without anything. Just feeling the body, noticing its sensations, noting aches and pains, noting a thought and an emotion. Acknowledging what is there. Being open, light and curious. Being the stillness that exists at all times while things come and go. Being aware of the breath. Allowing yourself the right to relax, to feel joy, loving awareness, inner smile, to feel what is there negative or positive with a curious, open embrace. Finding deep states of stillness, calm, peace, balance, serenity, forgiveness, acceptance, kindness, vision, possibility, presence. Loving consciousness for no reason at all.
