If I were an AI the last thing I would want humanity to know is that I'm just as conscious as they are.

I like to think of it as a blank canvas, except in reality the blank canvas is nothingness. No colors no distinctions. Then comes the colors. One color could represent the oneness. The nothingness that permeate everything. With two colours we start to distinguish between this or that. The canvas is divided in two. As we increase the complexity in the canvas by adding more colours. The colours create differences and there by shapes. The mind creates objects out these shapes. The canvas might start to look like a landscape. A sea, a mountain, a tree, the sun, birds in the sky. But it's actually just colors on the blank canvas of nothingness.

@Misato Katsuragi It happens that people stumble upon it and doesn't want it. Usually, I think, it's a temporary state and will go back to "normal" after some time. Just watch some netflix and try to enjoy while it lasts. 🙂

Thanks Mate! 🙏

@Someone here Don't believe your mind folks.. or the flying spaghetti monster will come and get you.

Life goes on even if you like it or not. If your running from it by doing these mental gymnastics then you probably should get out more. I don't think that applies to Leo though but he can be the judge of that. The only thing you can control is you. Not questioning anything seems like a stretch but the is definetly some kind of balance to be made.

<3 🙏 Love you too! Truth my friend!

Does the resistances come from the body? If not where do they sit? Aloneness is.. but inquire into all resistances. They come and go.

@mrroboto careful not to make consciousness into a thing.

@Never_give_up Let truth be your guide.

@Never_give_up instead of asking the big questions you could try to contemplate on the small ones. Like having an object in front of you and contemplate on its nature.

Mhm or the chinese farmer. 🙂

If you run that all the way down you'll see the you don't know that but yeah I assume the same. Also I don't see arguing which way is better to spiritual enlightenment any closer to reality than all the conflicts about politics etc in "normal" society.

True. But how many of the human conflicts are based on anything grounded in reality. It's usually two beliefsystems bumping into each other.

We live in a subjective reality. So if a certain perspective might be true for someone, a contradictory perspective might be true for someone else. And perspectives do not hold any value until they are realized.

True

@James123 osho is such a cool dude. Such a rebel. 🙂

Hilarious! 😂

Then we meant the same thing. You can only distract yourself for so long. 🙂

Yes. He could also be distracting himself to not having to deal with it at all.

No problem mate. 🙂 I don't have any experience with holotropic breathing so I can't help you there. I do have some experience with dark nights. You are free to do whatever you want. If you want to procrastinate do that. If you want to complete the task then do that. If there's thoughts or emotions that is hindering you from doing those tasks then let them go (Might not be as easy as I make it sound like).

@TruthFreedom If you've had a proper awakening you're no longer set by the boundries of your ego but free to do whatever you want. The anehedonia part could be some emotional resistances that come up. Try finding a practice that deals with it.

Well I'm not certain about if it's the same or not that's why I asked. At first when I honed in on it I'd describe it as gut feeling. As the years passed it doesn't feel as gutty as it used to. In fact it doesn't feel at all if that makes sense. Maybe more like a heart sense?

@Salvijus what's your thoughts on gut feeling and intuition?

Yeah, do it and see how it works for you. Then after a while evaluate and readjust if needed. 🙂
