@LiakosN "You are prior to consciousness" "Nothing perceivable or conceivable"

"It is easier to understand that the entire manifestation is of a nature of a dream or mirage. And you interpret the rest of manifestation as a mirage but won't let go of the see'er of the phenomenon. But the see'er is also part of the mirage." Nisargadatta

I have had many many teachers along this path. They have all lead to Sri Nisargadatta. "You are prior to consciousness" Nisargadatta

@How to be wise At the end of the day there is no one doing anything.

@SMI This one gets me every time I hear it.

@Leo Gura Never realized you felt that way. I totally agree. And to take it a step farther, consciousness itself is a manifestation as is all that arises within it. Would you agree with that?

@NahmNice! Contemplation time.

@Ether Your profile pic is in 3d. You pop off the screen. Cool!

@Ether That's a samadhi experiance with nature/reality. Super hi def too? Yes most lovely it is. God's Eyes

@lmfao Just a thought but how about trying a mental focus training programme using breath or mantra? Whenever you find the mind has wandered off gently bring it back again. That's a good exercise for building concentration/focus. I'd like to ask you something. How are you with things like intuition, deep insights, creativity and stuff like that?

@Saumaya I just read that for the first time, very nice. Great inspiration and absolutely true. You nailed it!

@Jed Vassallo Just my personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt but I believe it all comes down to the surrender factor. In my experiance that's the way to get back to that "special place" without any extra help. A high dose of surrender.

@Joseph Maynor Interesting. Thanks

@Joseph Maynor Sure. He covers many topics. But the first 4 mins. is what I'm directly asking about.

@Faceless Yes i do.

@Joseph Maynor @Faceless What do you guys think about what is said in the first 4 mins.of this video? Agree or disagree? Somewhere in between perhaps?

@pluto Very nice. It reminded me of this saying "man stands in his own shadow and wonders why there is only darkness".

@Anna1 Not necessary. If you read what I said you will see that I totally agree with you. Let me rephrase it. If there is someone who thinks they are enlightened, they are not enlightened. Would you agree?

@Anna1 I see exactly what your saying.

@Anna1 There is no such thing as the experiance of reality. Reality just is. If you believe there is an enlightened self experiencing reality, you're not enlightened.

@LiakosN Very cool. Back in the hippie days it was known as "Electric Church".

I hope this turns out better than the last meeting Trump had with a leader of another country.

I watched the signing of the agreement. It reminded me of the royal wedding last month. What a show. Trump is probably notifying the Nobel Peace Prize committee about it today.

@haguga There is no such thing as the experiance of reality. Boredom stems from the illusion of thinking there is.. Only reality is.

@Viking Knowing something and directly experiencing it are two completely different things. How much do you know about skydiving for instance. See the difference between knowing about skydiving and actual skydiving. Just as with skydiving the more familiar you become with the direct experiance the less body/anxiety there will be.
