I knew you were infinitely blessed

What would be you're best piece of advice for highly sensitive people out there ?

Wow, you're daughter is a rare one

How old were your children when you tried telling them about nonduality ? (Usually kids rebel. Rupert Spira's father was a banker. Rupert became a potter. And now his son is a banker lol) Yeah, I guess people are just trying to survive. I wouldn't say I was less selfish than most. Sometimes life just kind of forces awakening on you in a way. I must say this is why I find Emerson's work quite encouraging. It even seems to make sense to some normies. Maybe I'm naive, but I sense there will be tremendous suffering in the next few years, which might actually force a lot of people towards awakening. (Are you like a HSP - highly sensitive person ? My wife is one, life seems to be extra challenging for her, ie because she feels so much.)

I remember once hearing someone say, that it's probably not possible to be truly happy on this planet, unless everyone wakes up at some point.

Amsterdam is cool, I was there about 20 years ago for a few days. Had a smoke in one of the coffee shops, super strong, and then got completely lost in the city lol. All the streets with the canals look kinda similar in a way. They did that day anyway. Cape Town has it's magical parts for sure. I haven't lived there, so I don't know it that well. I know that a lot of people have left the city because of crime. You have some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world there and also some of the poorest. For example, in Mitchells Plein, because of the gang violence, even the cops dont wanna go there. So yeah, you gotta do your homework, because Cape Town definitely has a lot of cool spots as well. The water is ice cold, but I love the beaches there.

Beautiful. I remember once hearing some sage say, that he feels all of humanity like a pain in the pit of his stomach.

I would say that since the separate me began to unravel, emotions are experienced more intensely, but they also tend to flow through a lot quicker. I definitely don't wanna go back to the days where I felt stuck in one emotion for days on end.

Just the way the language sounds compared to ours. Not in character. Do your homework before you travel, it's not the safest place, in fact quite the opposite. The Southern Cape region, like the area between Swellendam and Knysna, has beautiful nature and is pretty safe. Are you in Amsterdam ?

Life is as it is. I suggested that video of Leo's because it's really helpful in the sense that it gets us to see how must of what we believe is just fiction. Getting grounded in direct experience is one of the best things you can do. Blessings.

That sounds harsh. Yeah, try the video, i think it might open you up to a different way of being with life.

How are spirit guides controlling you ? Of course you can meditate on your own. But that guided exercise video of Leo will really ground you in direct experience if you go with it.

How are you working against the system ?

It's not like Rupert's stuff. Try it.

Is it really possible to say "I am" God. Remove "I am". Just God.

I never used the word states

I don't think I ever said this reality is an illusion and there is another reality that is more real. "Right now is the reality" Yes I think we still have miscommunication with the separate self thing. (certain aspects have fallen away here) I like this video by Leo, radical nonduality basically says the same. All there is is This/God, remove all backstories.

Thanks, as I said there might be a difference in definitions.

I think we might be saying the same thing in different ways

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "the issue is reality and the system" ? Have you watched this video by Leo ? (This is what I meant by direct experience.)

I can see now that ethnic cleansing might be the more appropriate term. (Why do you think though that the international association for genocide studies deemed this to be a genocide ? Do they have some anti Israel bias ?)

@Breakingthewall I'm curious, what kind of a path did you follow, I noticed you mentioned Kali. Do you have more of a Vedanta background ?

Yeah I guess we have different definitions for the separate self thing. But I can't deny my experience, and I respect yours too.
