Moksha

The only blind spot is inauthenticity. Be true to who You are, in this moment, and you are golden. You don't have to be perfect, or ultimately Self-realized. Just be honest, and real. ?

@mandyjw ?

Observe. Has your monkey mind ever given you peace, for more than a moment at best? Realize that your thoughts are not You. They are clouds that come and go. You are the Sky.

Hard to choose, but I would have to say Van Gough. I've seen his paintings around the world, and have been deeply moved by many of them. I remember one time they had an exhibit in my home town. I found a painting of his, shortly before his death, and it captivated me to such a degree that I couldn't pull myself away from it. My two kids were young at the time, and they kept asking me when we could finally move on, but it caught my soul, and refused to let go.

Wake gently out of that good night, This me, forever You, and burning bright; There never was a was, but still it seemed, So real when I was me, within the dream. ?

It was part of You the whole time, it just didn't realize it

Never had your foot fall asleep on you?

Liberation is just another word for Awakening.

For me, it was the deep realization that my brain, unobserved, was only capable of producing suffering. The seeds of thoughts have never produced peace. The heart is closer to truth, but the spirit is closer still. When you are Consciously centered, the brain and the heart can be beautiful tools. When not, they are instruments of torture.

Do you see the human in you, and in the people you interact with? Do you see the Being in you, and in the people you interact with? Finding the Being in yourself is the first step toward realizing the Being in everyone else. When that happens, it is magical. Humans become humorous, with all of our idiosyncrasies. Beings become beloved, because they are us. What we see in others is, to a large extent, what we see in ourselves.

Would you rather know, or would you rather be? Knowledge is the currency of the ego. It is voracious, the snake eating its own tail, and it never ends. It will never be satisfied. Just be.

Anything, in excess, is unhealthy. That includes meditation and personal growth. Recreation is not only ok, but it is necessary. Recreation, in excess, is also unhealthy Why not try the best of both worlds? I recently played Walden, a Game, and loved it. Take the time to enjoy the reading rocks along the way, so much wisdom there.

Not specific memories, but some people are born with old souls. It is obvious, even when they are children.

God wrote Hamlet. I guess that makes Shakespeare divine?

Sapiens = thought = suffering. It's all about being.

Imagination is also reality, because it is created by God.

Paleolithics are inferior to homosapiens, on the level of cognitive capacity. Not coincidentally, they were superior on spiritual capacity. They were less bound by thought, and more connected to nature and being, than most of us are. Personally, I choose being.

Not sure that a paleolithic human would have a clue, but Einstein lifted the curtain of Oz. Relativity, really?

The Mystery, which none of us gets, is the entanglement of ultimate and relative reality. It is not just ultimate. It is also relative. It all is. (Don't you love italics)?

Free will is ultimate, changeless reality. Determinism is relative, cause-and-effect reality. It is not free will vs. determinism, but the entanglement of free will with determinism. The more you reside as a human form in relative reality, the less free you will be. You are just a pinball in the machine. The more You reside as God in ultimate reality, the more free You will be. You are the pinball player. Hint: Freedom is just another word for unconditional, all-seeing Love.

@Ry4n ? Thanks man.

Knowing is fool's gold. Concepts are a false currency. Directly realizing is being. God, I sound like a Yoda puppet, but still stand by it

I see it as relative reality, which is perception-based, and ultimate reality, which is beyond perception. All of it is reality, just in different states.

Perception is reality, in the relative sense. Ultimately, there is no perception, only being. The interaction of perception and being is the Mystery, but "we" are forever trying to solve it. The solution is to be.
