Moksha

Conceptual understanding is in our human nature. Nonconceptual understanding is in our being nature. One leads to insanity, the other leads to clarity. Take your pick.

Yes, the Vedas are more vast Everything you need to know is in the Bhagavad Gita, but why not enjoy the view from some of the other windows as well?

Letting go of the human desire for approval and aversion to disapproval is very difficult, as long as your conditioned mind is at the helm. When you wake up, simply being present begins to dissolve all of these attachments. It takes time, but we have all the time there is, which is nothing

The ultimate letting go is our need for certainty itself. When you let go of the nattering mind, confusion dissolves as well. There is only beautiful clarity. You can still navigate in the world of form, but you are no longer defined by it.

Yes What is the source of your self-knowledge? We've been splashing around in the ocean of infinity, and I spotted a pearl: The deeper you dive into infinity, the less pronounceable it becomes. Dive into time, and you are infinitely immersed in moments. Dive into space, and you sail into it forever. Dive into matter, and you will never reach the bottom. Infinity is incomprehensible. We can point to it, but we cannot grasp it. The more we try to understand it, the more elusive it becomes. It is futile and meaningless. It is the road to insanity. Why even try to understand reality with the conceptual mind? We can experience it instead. When you open your spiritual eyes, everything suddenly makes sense. You realize that you are it.

You are more than a character That realization is the beginning of the end of suffering.

@Breakingthewall Fortunately, we don't need to understand anything. Trying to understand is the reason for insanity in the first place. Just be.

Once you realize who you are, you are able to use your mind rather than being used by it. It is good to have goals and work toward them, as long as you don't take it too seriously and get trapped into reidentifying with the role. Staying grounded in who you are is of primary importance; everything else will happen as it needs to happen.

Who created the character that is creating the super character?

After ecstasy, the laundry. Or more classically: Chop wood, carry water. Only now there will be joy in every step

Trump is Love. Leo is Love. Trump is Leo.

@bennett oppel What if You already are, and "you" are just a character creating a supercharacter?

Except ourSelf

@bennett oppel And who are You?

More of a soul fan myself

Maybe Source creates because it loves to create, manifests because it loves to manifest, and plays because it loves to play?

Love is nonduality, pretty simple if you ask me.

Do you believe the universe is timeless, or that time exists only within the universe? Is it possible Source singularly exists outside of the universe(s) itself(s)? Is it your belief that there are multiple Sources? If dualistic, why?

The observer = consciousness = the first cause = the eternal subject. Consciousness is self-aware.

If Source isn't a thing, wouldn't that make it nothing? Just because it isn't a thing doesn't mean it lacks light or essence.

The essence of everything is nothing. Do you think Source is a thing?

@Danioover9000 If you move to another house, do you think Crysty will move with you?

Actually, the Gita is small. The version I just finished has < 400 pages, and most of that is commentary.

Time, space, and matter are all illusions. Don't be surprised that you can infinitely divide or multiply them The thing that creates everything is actually nothing.

What is anything but just a thought? Nihilism isn't all it's cracked up to be. You chose to create this world for a reason, after all.
