Moksha

Insanity is the opposite of enlightenment. It is complete identification with the conditioned mind. Most humans are insane. You will only just be when you are ready to just be. When you wake up, you recognize the kama that ego uses to lure you back into the labyrinth of the conditioned mind. You see the lies for what they are, and they have no power over you. Unfortunately, waking up isn't a one time event. I'm still in slumber a good part of the time. At least now it feels like lucid dreaming

Exactly. Suffering only awakens people when they are ready to be awakened. The apple only falls from the tree when it is ripe enough to lose its attachment.

Even the monster under my bed??

That there is no world.

You are pointing at yourself, right now. Do you see? Waking up is literally going over your head, because concepts are all the ego is. You can still use the mind, but you aren't the mind. Ego is nothing more than identification with the mind. When you let that identification go, you are free.

It's so simple, isn't it? Concepts are only a distraction. Just be.

So true.

Whether it feels better or not has nothing to do with whether it is. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. The only truth is the light that we are; everything else is just a story.

Yep, complete disintegration of the self. It's cool that we can experience ourSelves even in the human form, just not fully. Enlightened people come pretty close, but even they have gunas attaching them to the world of form. Total enlightenment means going poof back into the light that you always are.

Concepts are part of the illusion. There is no name for the ultimate Mystery. We only experience it directly when we wake up and realize ourselves

Suffering happens when we identify with the ego, rather than realizing who we are. It is a misalignment with the present moment. The ego refuses to accept what is. It can only live in the fictional past or future; the Now dissolves it. Ego is an illusion that will always lead to suffering. When you wake up, you realize that you are the Now, and you never were anything else. Time is an illusion. There is no time in the present moment, and the present moment is all that there is. There is no suffering in pure Consciousness, only light, the unitive reality, which is another word for freedom, intelligence, love, happiness, and peace. A bunch of words which are only pointers. When you wake up, you will experience yourself.

I wouldn't call it a motivation so much as a force. Suffering wakes you up, whether you want it to or not. It is the main way Consciousness becomes aware of itself.

You are the abyss, and suffering is the thing that shoves you into it. Freefalling into yourself is a great ride

Suffering is the ultimate psychedelic.

Now is timeless. Everything manifests in the Now. How could it manifest anywhere else? Always implies time. In ultimate reality, there is no time. Dualism is an illusion; Consciousness is the only reality and it is a singularity.

The illusion only goes on as long as it needs to. You just have to hear the pounding on your door that is suffering, and wake up.

Now is the only reality. Past and future don't exist, never have and never will

You never were an I.

Which is what spaciousness is: Consciousness itself. You're probably not a Tolle fan, but I agree with him:

Spot on. The question is: Have you suffered enough yet to be willing to let go of the lies of your ego? It's not a choice, really. You just reach the point where you are really, really, really done with suffering. Then you become a little more enlightened and return to suffering again, though not as badly as before

Heaven is translated as spaciousness. And that's exactly what Being is.

Since the ego will never choose enlightenment I guess he's screwed

Somehow, every time this claim is subjected to a controlled laboratory setting, the phenomenon disappears.

Is it though?
