No doubt. No pun intended😜 -

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Language was created by people. Body language is a different story, but what is it you're really asking. -
I'm not going to turn this into a debate and will leave it at this; but throwing your drink through the drive thru window at the cashier is being more than just an idiot, it is a crime. She didn't throw the hammer, she hit his windshield with it. Both were wrong but he started it and she was just responding. Ok enough of that.
-
Wait up now, what about the guy, and it was a hammer she used. He threw drinks at her twice. Nothing deranged about responding to an attack.

The self-doubt is the perfection. -

You're right about this being paradoxical. Your post is very deep and needs a little contemplating on to get, but I do. Somewhat, anyway. Not knowing has more power than knowing. That space between awareness and not knowing is thought. Knowing is what separates the subject/object. Knowing is the beginning of the sense of self. The end of knowing, which is "death" is the end of the separate self. This is already death, since knowing is an illusion because there's no separation and something cannot really be known. -
To each is own. My mom got on my nerves sometimes too, but I would never look to hit her with a pot or anything and I used to get ass-whoopings from my mom as a child growing up in ja. Go get the belt, she would say.

I don't look up to Spiritual Gurus. I don't look up to people period. Admire, respect, love, appreciate etc, but not look up to. The only person I ever looked up to in my life was my mother and she's gone. Nothing she did or her personality, just for looking up to sake. No one else could ever fit that place.
-
lol. That's the mother's job. Oh well. I would never think to assault my mother with anything, barely even got mad at her (to her face anyway), out of respect.
-
You assaulted your mother with a pick-axe? Tell me you're joking.

Lol

This is my favorite brand dark chocolate. I don't think it's on the list with heavy metals. Lindt and Ghirardelli are though. Go for it. Don't nick pick at everything, the nit picking will bring more stress with it than the heavy metals. Flush with Cilantro juice.

Lol, Everybody has done the first one, some have done the second, but the third....idk...takes a psycho for that one unless it's self-defense.

I used to be like this a while back, until I realized I wasn't talking to a human, I was talking to a computer that was wired a particular way and no amount of "that's bad for you" would make a difference. Look at Butters' response and what that computer conjured up. Warren buffet eats it everyday and he's a billionaire. Can't beat that excuse. @FourCrossedWandsyour words are landing on deaf ears.

Here's a summary video I found while browsing of the one OP posted that's about 17mins long for those who want a shorter version.

I think what he actually means is, because there are so many hrs in a day and one person can do so much and can usually only do one thing at a time; it's a great video to watch while doing something else as in driving (listen to), washing dishes, walking, exercising, cleaning etc etc. At least for me that's how I manage the time to listen to a lot of long videos. If I'm cooking, I'll have my laptop on the countertop listening, if I'm going for a walk, my bluetooth speaker is pumping listening to a podcast or video, cleaning my room, doing laundry etc etc. It's a great time killer in that aspect. Like if I click on the above video and it's something i see that interests me, I'll save it, make a note, and watch it when I'm able to, and what I'm doing doesn't need any concentration or attention. Edit: 5mins in and it's a video I'd watch or listen to because i like psychology-type stuff so I'll save it and watch later.

Still just an experience within the dream of "I". How can it be when there is no separation. More freer, more happy, less attached are all just appearances, which is all there is - appearances. Nothing solid. Whatever arises is everything, timelessness appearing. -
Princess Arabia replied to stephenkettley's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I understand. I was asked a question and that was my response. What you're describing is within the dream of separation which are experiences. We can have a discussion about that too, that cannot be denied. It's all within the scope of wholeness. There's no denying what you're saying, but it's just a story. There is only wholeness and nothing is missing, so it doesn't matter. -

Because the Absolute is Infinite. Infinite also includes the form, but the form arises out of the Infinite. Form needs something to arise from. Since Infinity is nothing (no-thing) anything that arises from it has to be nothing by definition. Everything you see is only an appearance. Everything. Its not illusory but empty as in no substance. The illusion is the "I". Can you see an "I". No, you see a body. Can you see stories, thoughts, concepts, ideas. Those are the "knowing energy", which is an illusion. All of those have beginnings and endings. Infinity has no beginning nor ending. Knowing is a point. A point of reference. There is no point in the infinite, so it has to be illusory. The 'I" believes it's real so everything it experiences is also "real". That's the dream. Awareness, consciousness, sense of being are all knowing. That's the dream. There's only experience in the dream of knowing. The dream isn't known because the dream and the dreamer are the same thing. -

Energy expands and contracts. Appears in different shapes and forms. Water turns to ice and vapor, same water. Vapor cannot be without the water just as the wave doesn't exist without the ocean. The energy appears from nothing and goes back to nothing. It's all energy. There's nothing but energy appearing in different forms. Falls away just means the wave went back into the ocean and realizes it was never a separate entity to begin with. Not saying there is no illusion, but its just an appearance just as a woman appears to be taller in high heels or a voice louder through a microphone or a lip appearing red with lipstick. The lip didn't actually happen to turn red, it only appears red. Same thing; the illusion is, but only appearing to be what it's not. -

Ok I understand. Most people (yes, I said people) suffer to an extent, depending on how deep the neurosis is or gets and the conditioning of the brain. No, I'm not going through any deep suffering. I also have a very curious nature. Curious about life and existence. I'm not using this to self-medicate. I find it fascinating and at the same time recognizing certain things as I go. These things I talk about have become obvious to me. As I observe and see how people respond, react and the things being said and inquired about, it even becomes more obvious. Nothing has been disputed so far and it's something i've resonated with. -
Princess Arabia replied to CARDOZZO's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
What I'm saying is there's only that one energy powering it all. It appears as what we call humans, animals, trees, stars etc. There's no one there. It's empty. It is what's writing this right now, and it is what's responding. I'm not sure what the higher insights and awakenings you're speaking about. It's all ultimately the same. Now, that being said, I'm not disputing there are greater insights, awakenings, even enlightenment, but it's all just appearances. Empty. My saying what I said was just responding to your comment about no one knowing anything. You said it by implying there's actually something to know and we're all just oblivious. I was just saying there's no one to know. Doesn't mean I can't see people and in another conversation i would be saying there's no one and no people, I only brought it up to say doesn't matter if no one knows anything. -
Princess Arabia replied to CARDOZZO's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Oh ok. I see. Hmmm. Not sure where saying "there are no people" is arrogance. Well, I can; but it's because of the knowledge I've attained about people, other than that all I see are bodies. -
Princess Arabia replied to CARDOZZO's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I'm not sure what it means to be full of myself. All I said was there are no people. I don't consider that a sermon. If you notice in this response here, this more seems like a lecture and a sermon. -
Princess Arabia replied to CARDOZZO's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
"You" and "the Absolute" are two things. You and the Absolute. This is implying that I'm separate from all there is. No point in telling someone they are the Absolute.
