LOL What can this donkey do?

LOL I'm sorry @Someone here and the rest. Let's just leave it there

I AGREE WITH YOU. You think we don't understand what you are saying but we do. The problem is that you are just using no-self to dismiss practical advise. That's mental masturbation. Every spiritual master knows about no-self and still gives practical advise, because it does make a difference.

You are just being a pain in the ass about language. You made a post about Ramana Maharshi, in his talks he often advises having disinterest for the content of the thoughts, I guess you know this. Do you think that this is because he doesn't understand that "you" don't control your attention? Or because he knows that if you recieve this advise, the pulling away from attention is more likely to happen?

Yeah, but the modification the thought patterns still happens. That's why meditation can happen, for example. You are playing word-games.

Nobody of course, but it still happens. That's why LoA is useful, if you are not a pain in the ass about language.

Yeah that's cause we're using language man. We understand what you are pointing to. But there are other valid perspectives that point to different asspects of reality. Things still get done without a doer. An antivirus software is not an individual concious entity and still can filter viruses. The same way your "mind" can gain the ability of rejecting unuseful thoughts.

Yeah I get what you are saying. I'm pro-lockdown and masks generally speaking. But there are people and goverments who look at it very myopically.

Thank you guys, very useful answers. Love to all of you

Well, in my daily life I would say I've progressed a lot in embodying Love, as I feel it quite strongly troughout the day. But I haven't realised it to be equal to God yet. My awakenings are always more Void-like.

Yes, this I have experienced, Unconditional Love as a temporary state. My question was more about in what way Love = Conciousness like Leo says, if Love is not always present whereas conciousness obviously is.

This is a really good explanation. It's like saying they are the Masculine and Feminine asspects of God, right?

Well, I guess this is an asspect of awakening I haven't realised yet. Thanks for your answers

Why is it that there are states of Awakening/Samadhi (whatever you wanna call it) where there's no Love? Why they don't always go hand in hand?

How would one know how much time someone is online without being online at least as much? LOL

Well it's different for everyone The Universe may wanna express its smartass side trough some awakened beings, why not?

That would be a perfect answer for that "choice" thread that's going on

Here's the thing, "magic" is NOT some special occurrance that breaks the laws of nature. That's just how it looks from the materialist POV. Actually, the mind exists and interacts with subtler planes of reality, like I already explained. This you can confirm by direct conciousness. These subtler planes have an effect on the material level. This is how nature works all the time. This is the law. It doesn't mean you can change anything, it's limited. Be careful buying crazy science ficition pictures your mind may create which make it seem ridiculous.

Didn't see the Video, but it's 6 years old, he wasn't so much into spirituality back then.

@Consept Man, if you want to take the attitude of "I see reality is non-dual conciousness, but still basically behaves like mainstream materialism tells us" it's fine. You will miss 90% of spirituality unfortunately. I tried my best to encourage you experience more and expand your understanding, can do no more. Good luck.

Well guess what? The mental phenomena that psychology studies in an abstract conceptual way, actually happens on a subtler "material" level of reality which you can become concious of. You are taking a lot for granted. You make a duality beetween mental and mystical stuff without knowing what the mind really is.

NO. Again, you are portaying it as something very stupid. It's like if I was talking about God and you were thinking about a bearded men in the clouds. It's more subtle than that. Can you manifest signs out of thin air? NO. Can synchronicities cause you to take a different path where you see a sign that you wouldn't have seen otherwise? YES. How do you know that's the case? - Because these sort of things will start happening you so consistently that you won't be able to dismiss them as random. - Because you will be much more of aware of the real nature of the mind stuff and the subtler planes of reality. This is impossible to explain, you have to experience it. - Because when you advance of the spiritual path you develop a strong intuition and knowingness about this stuff. Like Leo and many masters can also tell you. From your POV, I understand that still all of this could be BS. Without experience you will never get it. It's up to you if you decide to experiment and see for yourself or not.

Relax, I just said that that interpretation is materialistic, no need to take it personally. Yes, and you can become much more concious about these subtler forms of conciousness. If you did, you would find out that there's much more going on with mind stuff than what you are currently aware of. And suddenly vibrations wouldn't seem so stupid as your mind is portraying it to be. You have to understand that you can be concious of any particular thing at many levels. For example, most people when listening to a chord in music, cannot separate out the individual notes, but it doesn't mean they are not there and that people who can and liars, insane or dogmatic.

I actually already have, maybe you should do that too.

That's your materialistic interpretation about it. You have no fucking clue what a thought even is. You are taking the mind totally for granted. Pseudo-scientific? Ok, let's reverse it: Try explaining a thought using materialistic science. Why do you think a thought is? Neurons?
