Moksha

@deci belle What is your view on: The dharma of humans is to help one another Suchness, invariably infused with Consciousness, is inherently holy The difference between aesthetic beauty, as realized by human eyes, and spiritual beauty, as realized by Consciousness itself

@deci belle The beauty of deconditioning is that it frees the aspect of Consciousness that it was hiding from itself. This is ultimate freedom. No habits, no compulsions, no grasping for meaning, just the serenity and joy of Conscious being. Boredom is a habit of the mind. It is resistance to being. In Consciousness, there is no boredom, because there are no attachments, to thoughts, to feelings, to actions, or to anything. When people wake up, sometimes they will spend months, years, even the rest of their lives, just Consciously observing and enjoying the diversity of their creation in all forms. For most though, there comes a time when Consciousness compels creation. It loves nothing more than to express itself, through all forms of art, but especially through love, which is the purest expression of art. Rock Star like there is no tomorrow (because there actually isn't) ?

The idea of sin is egoic. It attaches people to a false identity as "sinner", and creates suffering, which only binds them further. I know this one well. Conversely, it attaches people to a false identity as "saint", and creates false superiority, which only binds them further. @Preety_India described karma beautifully. It is not about any sense of identity, but simply the accumulation of personality, as the result of that personality's expressions. Every personality is constantly evolving, based on how it interacts with other forms. The more loving it becomes, the more free it is, until ultimately it sublimates to reunion with its Source.

The test of spiritual growth is being able to stay Consciously vigilant, through increasingly turbulent phenomena. Life is the ultimate practicing of the preach.

@snowyowl I sense there is a progression from spaciousness to solidity, from freedom to constraint, and from unmanifested to manifested. The frequency vibrations of each energy state decrease, the more density there is. It is like moving from gas to liquid to solid. In that sense, creativity expresses through a continuum of states. But yes, we are ultimately talking about the same God, expressing itself through infinite forms, beyond and through the creative medium of spacetime ?

@deci belle Very nice, and I agree with most of what you said. As I see it, autonomy is the opposite of boring. Freedom from attachment is the soul of creativity. What could be more delightful than infinite love?

Binaural beats in the delta (1 to 4 Hz) range have been associated with deep sleep and relaxation. Binaural beats in the theta (4 to 8 Hz) range are linked to REM sleep, reduced anxiety, relaxation, as well as meditative and creative states. Binaural beats in the alpha frequencies (8 to 13 Hz) are thought to encourage relaxation, promote positivity, and decrease anxiety. Binaural beats in the lower beta frequencies (14 to 30 Hz) have been linked to increased concentration and alertness, problem solving, and improved memory.

As I see it, it is more like a hierarchy of illusions. Truth is the mysterious black/white hole at the center, and the energy fields arise from it, concentrically, with increasing density, and less freedom, at each level. By descending order of density: Body Mind Perception (body thoughts) Thinking (mind thoughts) Feeling Spirit Mystery

I ? synchronicities.

@snowyowl Thoughts are closer to truth than sensations, Feelings are closer to truth than thoughts, and Spirit is closer to truth than feelings. The closer to truth, the more freedom there is.

The mind likes to be interested. Free your mind and directly see. Refuse to worship any idols. Let go of the need for security in false beliefs. The word 'water' is a useful means of communication amongst those who know water. The same is true of the word and the idea called 'God'...The reality which corresponds to 'God' and 'eternal life' is honest, above-board, plain, and open for all to see. But the seeing requires a correction of mind, just as clear vision sometimes requires a correction of the eyes. Belief clings, but faith lets go...Our minds have been prepared for it by this very collapse of the beliefs in which we have sought security. From a point of view strictly, if strangely, in accord with certain religious traditions, this disappearance of the old rocks and absolutes is no calamity, but rather a blessing. It almost compels us to face reality with open minds, and you can only know God through an open mind just as you can only see the sky through a clear window. To discover the ultimate Reality of life--the Absolute, the eternal, God--you must cease to try to grasp it in the forms of idols. These idols are not just crude images, such as the mental picture of God as an old gentleman on a golden throne. They are our beliefs, our cherished preconceptions of the truth, which block the unreserved opening of the mind and heart to reality. The legitimate use of images is to express the truth, not to possess it. 'Unless a grain of corn fall into the ground and die, it remains alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit'...What religion calls the vision of God is found in giving up any belief in the idea of God. By the same law of reversed effort, we discover the 'infinite' and the 'absolute,' not by straining to escape from the finite and relative world, but by the most complete acceptance of its limitations. Paradox as it may seem, we likewise find life meaningful only when we have seen that it is without purpose, and know the 'mystery of the universe' only when we are convinced that we know nothing about it at all. Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

Only a flicker Over the strained time-ridden faces Distracted from distraction by distraction Filled with fancies and empty of meaning Tumid apathy with no concentration Men and bits of paper, whirled by the cold wind That blows before and after time - T.S. Eliot

Not to throw you, but...you are them too

If God wants to stop suffering, God will dissolve the ego by suffering it to death.

@Vittorio You are awake now. The real work is to be Consciously vigilant, and not fall back asleep. Allow its light to decondition all of those attachments that you suffered. Don't let yourself forget the suffering that led you to the sweet side of peace. The ego doesn't go down without a long and bloody fight. ?

Welcome to the other side of suffering, a.k.a. Love. ?

Don't should yourself any more than you should Leo One thing I know about our schizophrenic community is that we are nothing, if not curious. There is a wealth of intelligence here, ready to stoke that curiosity flame that you are about to light ?

@LastThursday Alien posing as a welder would be a good cover, wouldn't it? I like @Keyhole's answer though ?

I saw the first two monolith stories, interesting that there is a third one now. Not too worried though, aliens don't weld

@Scholar I hear you, but do you think creating this thread actually changes anything? Since when has pointing a finger accomplished anything, other than invoking ego in the pointer, and in the thing being pointed at? People that find value in Leo's teachings, do so because it is where they are currently at, spiritually. Another teacher's words will be hollow to them. Maybe years down the road, they will be ready to leave Leo's raft behind, and pick up a new raft that will carry them to a different bank. Today though, they are on the Leo raft for a reason. Meanwhile, you are riding your own raft, as am I. ?‍♀️

My personal yardstick is not what I know, but the degree to which what I have realized, has reified as less suffering and more love. Proof is in the spiritual pudding.

Right thought and right action ?

@abrakamowse You got it. As Consciousness, you are no longer at the mercy of your mind, but rather, your mind is your musical instrument. Creativity, intuition, and insights arise unconditionally. It is a state of being where you are able to think and express, rather than being thought and expressed.
