OK fine. This is possible to achieve with simple exercises. It is already the case, but the mind is what's stopping the recognition. Drop all labels and identifications NOW...WALLA....ENLIGHTENED. They come back, drop it again. Keep doing this until the state sticks. Still an experienced state. The one that doesn't need enlightenment or looking to get enlightened cannot know the difference because it is everything and cannot feel or know it's enlightened. That's where I'm practicing to stay at. Not at this human's level where it can say I'm being enlightened. It is not who I am, so why waste time there.

Your limited human mind is. Universal Mind is all there is. Dimensions of Awakenings are possible, yes, it's unlimited. So what, it's still just an experience the All will be having. I'm not downplaying experiences, just calling them out for what they are. It's the same as me living in a rundown house VS a mansion, or drinking cheap vodka VS the most expensive kind there is. You will call me audacious for saying this, but that's the mind making the distinction. To the Universal mind it's all the same.

Well, who is it that wants to become enlightened. It sure ain't God. Hehe. Nor the Aliens or the animals or the trees and the birds and the racoons or ants.

Yours what. Not sure what you mean by, "yours".

Loneliness has no biases and is not based on gender. It can take shape or form in any sex. Circumstances is what makes for more than the other. Also, how one sees feeling lonely. To me a better question would be how the respective sexes view the feeling of loneliness. It can attach itself to both sexes equally. Maybe more either way. Remember, it is fluid and not permanent, so it keeps on moving from person to person. It's a feeling that comes and goes. One can be married or in the company of others and still feel lonely or be by themselves and not feel lonely. I don't see it as a gender issue, but a response issue. How one responds to their life circumstances and the feelings that accompanies that. It is not easy to say which gender it affects more as the feeling of loneliness can be suppressed and can hide in many shapes in the form of distractions. Take away the distractions from either sex and you might find more from either sex raising their hands. It can be well hidden.

You have put meaning into no meaning. Words are simply that, words. Journal, simply that a journal. Sharing, simply that sharing. They are all energies being expressed. There's no one here to put meaning into energies or to stop the energy from taking shape or form. You keep thinking you're doing anything. It's only appearing that way. If I was to not do a journal and share my life experiences, that would also be what the energy is "not doing". We cannot escape what is. Your mind is trying to rationalize, control and manipulate what is, using thought. It means nothing to what's appearing. Just as I cannot stop you from saying what you just said, I cannot stop what is happening. I'm not here saying that if everything is empty and words mean nothing, then I should stop writing a journal. That's not what is happening; and even if it was the case, that would still be the case. We cannot escape Truth and Truth is exactly what's happening, even your comments and implications. There really is no such thing as Truth; only what is. Show me Truth and I'll show you what is.

Just so you're aware of my stance. I don't think I've got it, hence there's nothing to get. Mind you, I'm not referring to experiences and about life and existence and reality. I'm referring to anything you think that will get you somewhere you're not already. Life is an experience. The All experiencing itself as what it's not. It cannot know itself only be itself. So whatever is, is what the All is being. Sadghuru and Osho is the All experiencing itself as Sadghuru and Osho. Javfly is the All experiencing itself as Javfly etc. What is there to get. Even if you don't get what I'm saying, it doesn't matter because you're the All experiencing itself as Javfly who doesn't get what I'm saying. Anybody that doesn't come across these "teachings" or spirituality or didn't get enlightened or whatever, is the All also having that experience. That's what I mean by there's nothing to get.

Just so you guys are aware and from the comments, I'm not thinking I'm enlightened. I'm not interested in enlightenment. Enlightenment is for the birds. The mind. The mind that wants to be free of itself. Free of suffering. Free of it's own entrapment. All humans bleed red, will die someday, sleep, eat, defacate, and do worldly things. They invented the saying chop wood carry water because it was recognized that this enlightenment thing makes no difference to the human. It can still be entrapped within the mind. It will still be eating and shitting and carrying it's own weight. I don't care what anyone says on this. This is how I feel and will always feel. It's not because of anything. It's not something I know. I know nothing. There's a resonance. An openness. It's quite obvious to me and I'm not even thinking and feeling these things on my own. It's being done. You are free to say as you may and free to chase after what you please. Nothing you say will make a difference. Saying no one on this forum is enlightened is just a fucking thought. A thought that arose within your awareness and consciousness. It's empty and means nothing. So are these words.

That's the mind's distinction. Oh! BTW, I'm not in a war zone. I do not live in imagination. I'm sitting on my couch right about now. I have no reason to go in memory or imagination at the moment to think about what a war zone is like or the people that have suffered in a war zone for the sake of this conversation. Yes, space is there because of mind/thought. That's literally what thought is. Space and time doesn't really exist. It's being created by the mind. Mind is there when I arise from sleeping at night. That's all there is is mind. Space is automatic at the time of awakening from sleep. It's there for everyone. That's the duality of life. While I'm asleep there is only Awareness. It is still ever present and the waking person can always go back to that.

lol

I'm sorry, but speak for yourself. I have no dealings with the mind. I allow it to be. If I'm engaged with it, I recognize soon there after and go back to awareness. It's simply a matter of recognition. Neither is the taste of rotten eggs. So what.

Nothing to get doesn't mean nothing to do. THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS. When you dance, are you getting anywhere. Matter of fact, let me rephrase that. Is the dance itself getting anywhere. Is the dance itself trying to accomplish anything. The dance is simply a dance and it's not trying to accomplish, do or get somewhere; it's dancing. When you talk, the mind tries to relay a point, trying to make someone understand, realize something or trying to accomplish something. Is talking trying to do anything, no it's a simple act of talking. You guys are missing that there is only mind activity here. Mind is "minding". There is nowhere for mind to go and nothing for mind to get. It simply is. You are all lost in mind's activity. Lost in the mind's dance.

You constantly change my words around and say what it is you think I'm saying. I never said there were no opposites. You equate suffering to be doom and gloom and the beautiful trees and helping people to be the opposite. All I said was I see life happening. Please stop with the wrong interpretations of what you think I'm saying. See my words for what they are. If you need clarification, simply ask.

That's not what I'm implying. Of course, life goes on. I've been here since day one. The body, that is. It's the mind that wants to get somewhere. I'm not speaking of the relative material world. The post was about consciousness and it's implications. I would never say these things about life itself and the mundane world and that there's nowhere to go and nothing to get. It's obvious life goes on and we're doing things and going places. I don't just sit on my ass and say, oh well, there's nothing to do and wake up saying there's nothing to get. I'm referring to the real world, the unseen, the true nature of things. Who I really am. What I really am. There's no denying the body/mind/ego. I just recognize it for what it is.

Where in my comment did i say there's nothing to do. We are doomed? Doomed from what. A long and everlasting life? We'll just be dying sooner than later. Maybe suffer a bit more. You see doom and gloom; I see life happening. Forever.

Seemingly. Are the actors on a movie screen going anywhere. Yes, within the movie. Is the TV screen going anywhere, no. Does that answer your question. Now, I'm about to go to the store. Hope I get there.

This is quite obvious if we look around. This is why we go around in circles. Never getting anywhere. This is also why there's nothing to get. The only thing there is to get is what your post is saying.

All I did was laugh and you're telling me I need love. I love you too.

That message on the wall is not a good idea. The subconscious doesn't recognize negatives, as in, no, don't, not; all it hears is smoke. "I will not smoke" is equivalent to "I will smoke" to the subconscious mind. Saying I am a non-smoker or i have quit smoking (even if you still smoke). Try to keep it in the present also. Will power is what the ego uses to try and control reality. It ever works for long. It will go back to doing the same things. Understand that some people have successfully quit because that's who they are. They could probably quit anything cold-turkey that they set out to do because that's how they treat everything. How we do one thing is how we do everything, is a famous quote. Quitting smoking is a hard task because the nicotine in so addictive. Someone did suggest the patch (which is not an addiction, BTW, it's just a tool). Maybe try to cut down as in if you used to smoke a pack a day, (20), try 15, then 10, then 5, then 3,2,1,. These are just suggested numbers. The point is to reduce it everyday. Keep them at a distance, so you have to walk for them etc. Cold turkey might not be for you. Replace it with something else. Maybe gum or some kind of licorice. Black seed oil reduces the cravings. The last thing you want is a cig after taking a hit of that oil (trust me). Whatever you do, don't say to yourself you're trying to quit smoking. The mind doesn't want to be associated with being a quitter. Same thing as losing weight. People gain it back because the mind thinks it lost something (lost weight), so it looks for ways to gain it back. (Not in all cases, it just makes it harder). Like I said, I'm not here trying to tell you how to quit as much as I'm suggesting what really doesn't work or what makes it more frustrating. Study yourself and notice things you used to do or ways of being like 5-10yrs ago that you don't do anymore or different personality. Not by force, they just simply fell away. It's because your identity changed, at the core, different beliefs, different patterns developed because of different circumstances and where you placed your focus, attention and energy. That's how it works. Just telling yourself you won't do this or that is usually a lost cause because those things weren't being done consciously, they are from a program, so the program has to change first. The bit about smoking less everyday, is similiar to changing a program but it's still not a embedded program as much, but it helps. Maybe get a pack you dislike to smoke like really harsh or really soft, whichever you really hate, and start from there. I'm throwing out different tactics for you to try but the mind stuff is more Universal, so to speak, and relates to more than smoking, so I'm able to recommend them. As far as porn goes, idk, maybe get a gf or try to focus on other things. I'm not an expert on those things, I can only guide on what usually doesn't work. Try to see yourself differently, maybe, feel the love that you are, know that you are already that. Nothing will satisfy that emptiness inside if you're not devoting your life to yourself, your beingness. The I AM awareness. It is all that matters. Feel into it and acknowledge it everyday.

Lol

Women don't care about men being mysterious. They want adventure and confidence. Leadership (to a degree) and a protector, meaning not to put her in harms way, to feel comfortable around you and where you're taking her if that's the case. If anything, it's the other way around where women leave a bit of mystery there to keep them interested in learning more about her and wanting to explore more with her. Men seem to be becoming more feminized these days. Only feminine men finds it appealing for them to be a mystery, women don't need mystery, it confuses them. Directness is more appealing. The masculine brain is more adept at dealing with mystery, the feminine's is more intuitive and intuition and mystery don't go together. Men are more logical and can deal with that kind of trying to solve the feminine's allure and finds it more exciting.

Where is the bending of Truth in this case. It's also Truth. Truth isn't some notion of what one thinks is the case or should be the case, Truth is that which is the case. So, him saying what he said is also Truth. You have some preconceived notion in the mind what you think Leo is like and have created your version of him; then when he says something that contradicts that, you say it's unlike him. Nah, it's unlike the version of him that you've created. Leo can't be any other way than Leo, no matter what comes out of his mouth.

That suffering is also love. That hate we feel for anything is also love, that sorrow, sadness, envy, hostility, dislikes, malicious intents etcetc, also love. Love, on an existential level, is everything. Joy, bliss and happiness are finite versions of love. Conditional. Everything is unconditional love. Even if you said you hated the world, that's still love. You've described the human's version of love. I can feel the love in someone's heart when they're hating, being malicious, envious and all those negative emotions. That's coming from a mental disorder. The heart always loves and it's the conditional programming, veils, separation and ignorance that causes these negative emotions to arise. The heart stays intact and is always exuding the love that we are. What I've described is true freedom - and more. It's freedom to do and be whatever it wants. That's freedom. Humans don't really want freedom. We just think we do. Freedom is already the case. We can't see it because we're conditional with our love. Airy fairy love like you've described.

Says who, the mind. There are no "shoulds". It's a catch 22 because when our lives aren't going the way we want it or how we think it's supposed to, we think we should be doing things differently or be thinking differently. It's the mind's programming that's doing that. Yes, we do things differently at times and we upgrade our lives and we need to change somethings about ourselves in order to accomplish certain tasks etc, but I believe it's the constant battle that we engage in with the mind that puts us in certain states or makes us feel a certain way. The projections and the "what we should be doing" instead of going with the flow of life and allowing for it to take us on the ride. This is not a submissive role, it's quite the opposite because now you're not submitting to thoughts and feelings but to life itself. There's a certain wisdom that comes with this habit and a certain clarity and purification of the mind that allows for a more peaceful way of being and brings about less inside turmoil. As far as logic goes, save that for the activity on hand and goal-setting itself where we need to assess the situation and make decisions, but go with the heart more and feel into that more deeply when you're trying to see what it is that you want or would like to experience. Focus on the aspects that you would like to see happen regardless of what the circumstances at hand are revealing to you because life is changing in every moment to suit our particular frequencies and ways of being. If you're concentrating and focusing on what you don't want to do or how you don't want to be you will end up being in more and more situations that matches the unwanted feelings.
