Here's one for Leo's recent video about Wage Slavery. "Working for the man"

@Gryner Quite a story you have there. I agree with Nahm that you gotta just hang back and chill for a while. You spent most of your life in a virtual world of gaming (not that reality isn't much different). Then you stopped gaming or at least tried to stop while at university. Than did a 10 day retreat to "end the gaming addiction". Wow. I think everything just rushed to the surface at once from an extream transition in a short amount of time. Like when ppl go SCUBA diving. After spending time at depth they have to s-l-o-w-l-y accend to the surface so the body can re-adjust. Sounds like you surfaced way to fast from the gaming and got the gaming bends. Just as staying in a hyperbaric chamber for a while is the cure for the bends I suggest sitting in nature and silently observing. Do a Tolle thing if you can for a while as you heal.

@Ingit One day your up-the next your down. That's how it is and you learn after a while to be neither. The other day you were riding a high. Today you are riding a low. See how it is all so transient? They are only "states". You are not the states that come upon you.

@YaNanNallari It took time for the illusion of ego to grow so the deconstruction of the ego will also take time. Old habits don't die easy. Also there is what is refered to as the DMN (defalt mode network). Basically your built-in natural survival instincts and sense of self. That must also be over-ridden for enlightenment to happen. Than there is the general navigating day to day life that keeps pulling us back into the ego. It's an up hill battle for sure as far as the ego/self is concerned.

@FrgttnDeer I think I know what you mean. Consciousness is the empty screen which the content appears on. But the content of fire does not burn the screen.

@FrgttnDeer That's the "gift" the woman in the video has. She would see their whole life.

@FrgttnDeer You gotta look beyond the labels and see what they point to.

@Serotoninluv @FrgttnDeer Watched this today. Lots of pointers here. Zero Point energy. Quantum Entanglement. Just to mention a few.

@Barna

For anyone who is interested http://www.edgarcaycenewzealand.com/pdf02/SL1401.pdf "We must develop the faculty between the finite and the infinite, so that the infinite may become a portion of us. We seek to become one with the infinite by the reduction of our soul to its simplest self - its divine essence - and realize this union and identity."

@SoonHei They are already there waiting. Meet 'em half way is all you need to do. Oh yea. watch in your dreams too.

It's the machine elves.

@Shin Are you alright there Shin? Why shouldn't love know no barriers such as space and time?

That's for sure. It ends up all dimensions of time are connected by love.

@SoonHei If you haven't seen it yet be sure to check out the movie Interstellar. It's a good one.

@Shin I couldn't help but to add a little something to it. Nothing has gone to waist.

@Shin The dream becomes reality and reality becomes the dream. What changes is not real. What is real does not change.

"You are prior to this consciousness and whatever is happening in it".

@SoonHei Yea, most do say the "book" comes rushing at them faster than light. Did you ever hear the expression "I thought I was going to die and my whole life passed before me in an instant"

@SoonHei I view reality as being like a book. All the information is at one single location of stillness. But the book can also be picked up and read page by page so it would than take on the addition of time/duration/experiance. It's the only way the mind can know the book. The mind warps reality which is a singularity and it smeers it out over time. That's why infinity escapes the mind. Infinity is not in time.

@SoonHei All time is within a single moment of stillness.

@Toby Yes Nisargadatta refers to beyond consciousness as turiatita or the fifth state.- the parabrahaman "All love for no-knowing" Any wittnessing or "knowing" is still the "I am". "Stay in the "I am" and in doing so you will trancend it". But how many ppl do you actually know who truly moved beyond the "I am"? When there is no one remaining to know there is no one there. The "siddha" state. When nothing but an avitar remains. The guru of guru's.

@Buba Right back at ya.

@Misagh I'll delete that part as it may cause confusion when I say "sort of like an OBD" or "wittness".

@Misagh @fabriciom I experianced this a few weeks ago and made it part of my practice since. Awareness becomes liberated from the body/mind/consciousness location. Than only empty awareness remains without content.
