Nice "report". I enjoyed reading it; BUT and there's a but (for me), because you KNOW there's 'no sense of separation', there's still a you that knows this and therefore this glimpse cannot be "beyond an experience" as you said it was.

Let's dissect the apple: What is an 🍎. It's right there. Look at it Who's asking the question about the 🍎 What's looking at the 🍎 Where does the 🍎 stops being The 🍎 needs an identifier. The taste, feel, touch of the 🍎 After eating the 🍎 Why you ate the 🍎 The knowledge you acquired about the 🍎 The nature and properties of what makes up you and the eaten 🍎 Now you see the reflection of you even deeper, wider into boundless 🍎 infinity @Davino

Lol. I like that answer. Maybe AI might say something worse, though, like nothing exists. Hehe. Don't mind me.

This is relative and applies to one who doesn't value their dating opportunities as much. If it were for a job opportunity, you probably wouldn't say it was desperate. You say "as long as the only reason", and I say maybe for you, but not for someone else who might think having more dating opportunities to them is more valuable than better job opportunities. Some men pursue better jobs just to get better women and use that to get the women they truly desire. The job is a place holder but the relationship is the true desire. Just saying.

Nice. I hope other men will see this and realize it's no different than women going after a man's wallet if that's what she values. The beautiful women are of value to you for whatever reason and the man with a nice wallet to her for whatever reason. "Nice wallet" is an analogy here. Too many times I see where men valuing women's beauty is normalized while women valuing a man's status is demonized. She's accused of gold-digging, shallow or objectifying herself. I'm just using this comment as an example to make a statement and nothing about you personally. Actually, I will keep pointing this dynamic out whenever I see it so men will start to see how they do the same thing they keep accusing women of, the only difference is in the thing valued.

What is an apple? It's all the same thing. Now, if there's a looker, an observer, a witnesser, then they appear to be different.

Jesus, what a voice. Nicole Scherzinger can saaanggg.

How do you know this is not what "get together" looks like. What do you think should happen; everybody agrees and sing kumbaya together and live happily ever after. What's the difference between people arguing and fighting and people kissing and making out or just being joyous. NOTHING, except for different frequency and energetic patterns. There's rain and there's hurricane. Do you tell nature it is doomed and it needs to reset so it only rains without the wind that causes destruction. No, you ride it out and hide under your bed when the tornado comes. We accept whatever nature gives us and sends our way but you want to separate yourself from nature saying we're doomed and need to reset because in your mind it needs to be some other way. If this isn't delusion, I don't know what is.

Too late for what?

To actively care about strangers, takes time and effort and energy. People don't "not care" as much as, they're using their energy to care about what matters the most and to them. Imagine if one was to care about everyone and everything that existed. Talking about enlightenment and those sorts of things can also be about how to survive better and without suffering. Enlightenment isn't worried about who is talking about it, you are. You've given meaning to what enlightenment means, those other people gave meaning to the importance of talking about pizza. See a baby drowning or a man in a burning car, and you'll quickly see the care emerge. You want to see what you want to see; and when you don't, you curse the world. You're no better than the people not talking about what you consider deep, you just see it differently. If your circumstances were different and your experiences were different, you'd be interested in seeing different things too.

Ok. I give up. Lol

When I say it happens, I mean the action is happening by itself. The decision to comb your hair happens, the decision to eat lunch happens, the difference is the talking about the decision to open yourself to what's happening cannot be because it's not what's happening, only the thought to open yourself is. Right now it's just a thought. If it happens it will be because it happened and not because you're planning for it to happen. A planned date for next week may or may not happen and there's no control over if it will definitely happen or not. Anything can happen.

There is no true nature because there isn't a you to have a nature. There is no manifestation because that implies something outside to manifest something. You're thinking there's an Absolute and there are things that comes out of that Absolute. It's direct. Everything is the Absolute. "I can make the form transparent" suggests time and space. My true nature shining obvious and free. What does that even mean. No more suffering, I can do whatever I want now, I can fly to Mars, I can put a million dollars in my bank account. What does free look like to a form.

I get the "if I take out my eyes, I'll go blind" bit, but you're not doing that, it happens. Saying ahead of time what you can do to open up whatever is just empty words. Let's just say that it happens, it wouldn't be because you've done exercises or practices, it would just be happening just like the exercises and practices would just be happening. How can one merge with the whole. That means there's a one outside the whole to merge with it. That's not suggesting wholeness, that's suggesting there's something outside the whole.

There is no dream. It's a story. Stories and dreams are identical. The I is the dream. No I no dream. There is no actual I. Reality isn't dreaming because there actually is no reality. Reincarnation is a story. An idea. A concept. A person recalling a past life is memory "memorying". There's no one already to have a past life. There's no life right now. It's all stories and beliefs and constructs. Point to reality. You'll be pointing to a car, a bird, a tree, a house, a mountain, a star, a moon, etc. Reality is in the mind and the mind is thoughts continuity of itself and you've attached yourself to all this and now there's a world you live in and a life being lived by you. That's the dream. It's not happening. The death of you is the death of the dream. No you, no dream. No dream, no stories of reincarnation. IT'S ALL STORIES.

This is where I think you're misled. You're saying the bubble is real and can do something. It's illusory, so there's no one that can do anything to break anything because it is only an appearance. "There is already one with the flow". You die don't you. Appear to die anyway. Let's not talk about death, but do you really believe you as a person exist that can break some bubble of existence that isn't happening to begin with. What you're talking about is an idea, a thought that appeared to you and you think it's yours and now you have an idea about what existence is and what you can do about it. Let's see you do something about what appears. You can't.

It's not silly, it's a function of the energy that created the self. If it's a self, then everyone is a self. If there's a feeling arising it's claims that feeling. Everything now is real to it. That's right, and that's why we think we have one because we've seen the evidence in the others. It's a self-proclaiming prophecy - so to speak. I'm real so you are real and you have a brain so I must have one. If you see a brain scan it's the Absolute appearing as a brain scan. If you hold someone's brain for any reason, it's the Absolute appearing as you holding something you call a brain. If you're recalling a memory, it's the Absolute appearing as a memory recall. I speak like this for the sake of this conversation and I don't go around saying I don't have a brain. Let's be clear.

What appears is you pointing to your head. The brain is not an appearance. The idea of a brain is an idea. The appearance is someone that appears to have an idea of a brain.

Where is the appearance of a self. Do you see a self. Point to it. Point to your brain. They are both sense perceptions, not appearances.

Everything is meaningless; we give it meaning. If knowing is only a part of the experience, what is another part. Maybe the contents, you might say. The person has to know they're experiencing in order for experiencing to occur. If not, then it's just what's happening.

The body doesn't need a sense of self to survive. It's doing it all on it's own. If anything, the sense of self needs the body to feel alive.

Great question. Because the sense of self is illusory. There's already no self only appears to be. It's not bound to the brain either it's energetic. There really is no brain. The same way I believe there's a self, is the same way I believe there's a brain. I've seen other brains and hear people talking about brains and believe I'm using my brain etcetc. These confirmations to that separate self is what's making it believe it also has a brain.

Does the baby know about that. The question is, what is experience not what is happening. The body is reacting, different from having an experience.
