@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.

@Viking You gotta ask yourself what is ordinary? Is your "ordinary" the same as someone else's ordinary. Maybe we each experiance reality a bit differently than one another. Maybe there is no ordinary and you are starting to realize that within direct experiance. I must not be awake for everything looks to me as it has never before. Or maybe I'm awake for the first time and all that was before was just a dream.

@Viking If I am reading you correctly what your saying is reality sometimes feels a bit Surreal?

@Viking That's nothing. Sometimes "my consciousness" feels as if it's floating around outside of me. Have you experienced that ? It happens from time to time and it's a bit freaky. Well, the first time anyway. Now I welcome it when it happens. It's not quite an out of body experiance but close to it. Whatever comes don't label it. Just go with it while it lasts.

@johntimber Hey John. First off, welcome to the forum. Let me start by saying you seem to be kind of hard on yourself. I'd say first you need to find compassion for yourself. The second thing that is a question is -do you know who you really are? I mean really know? These friends that you compare yourself to do they really know who they are? Or could that be no more than a projection of a fictional image they have invented about themselves? You say you feel as if you have no soul. Maybe you need to find your soul or as we call it around here "pure beingness". You could think of it as your original face. Not the masks we live behind but the real deal of what you really are. To find that you must go back. Go back the way you came. This you must find first. Than you will see from that place what is authentic and what is not.

@Faceless Theory is there is a nexus where parallel realities overlap with this reality. Quantum computers exploits that nexus where 0's are not just 0's but in a superposition of both 1 and O. So it's position in not fixed. Reminds me of the double slit particle/wave experiment to an extent. It has a freedom of movement to it that no silicon computer could ever match however advanced..

@Faceless Yeah. I sometimes speak poetically/dualistically just to paint a picture.

@George Paul As far as if infinity has an intelligence to it or not. It does. I've experienced it directly. I can tell you this, the communion with it stopped any questions I had dead in their tracks. There could be absolutely no question worthy of asking it was so intelligent. The realization of it's infinite intelligence was so overwhelming that it left me in complete surrender to it. I'll say this, It has your back. Guaranteed! It put you here and it will take care of you no matter what the circumstances. When it comes down to it, what other intelligence could matter more to you than that?

@George Paul Have you researched quantum computing. If the theory holds up this going to totally change the way most ppl think about reality.

You'll love Bohm. He spent a lot of time with J Krishnamurti. So Bohm is a great mix of 'thinking out of the box' physics and spirituality. @ George Paul

@Azza Interesting.
