@Omario Yup -ain't that some shit. Talk about having your mind fucked. What mind? haha

@Omario To realize there is no one to be spiritual. In other words, to end the waking dream of self.

@Joseph Maynor I have a suggestion. Before looking for a guru to study, why don't you figure out what your personal portal is. Which of these naturally resonates with you and takes no effort? Consciousness Emptiness Awareness Vibration/sound Light Energy/Kundalini Something other? When you recognize it, let it fill every part of your body and mind. Know that the awareness of it, the observer of it, the witness of it, are all one in the same with it (whatever you have chosen). Than stay there and dwell in it. Become it and it will be your portal. And if you still need the guidance of a guru, find one who most resonates with your portal.

@MsNobody It was also said that Dahli would "enter an altered state of consciousness by contemplating an object until it lost all association". Sounds like he was experiencing a non-dual state more often than not as shown in his life and work.

@Galyna My take-away of it is - your glass jar represents the entirety of the universe as a bubble of conscious awareness. That's what the present moment feels like to me. Everything is here, complete and perfectly balanced.

I'm free. III'mm Frreee- and freedom tastes of reality. You were told what it takes to reach the highest high. You laughed and said "nothings that simple" But you've been told many times before Messiahs pointed to the door but no one had the guts to leave the temple. I'm Free-III'mm Freeee.......... The Who "I'm Free".

On 12/16/2016 at 4:17 PM, @Leo Gura said: Your realize in an instant that all of life and physical reality is just a dream. @cetus56When I was little sometimes reality would suddenly become one fabric with a texture to it. Not to the touch but I would just see it that way but not as the eyes see it either. That experience would have a very surreal feeling to it. It wasn't a bad feeling, just very different. Maybe that childhood memory has some real truth to it. Do you ever perceive reality as being one fabric?

I'm for throwing it all out. But that's just me and I could be wrong. But who can say Samadhi isn't just another level of delusion that needs to be surrendered.

@Monkey-man One of the perks of being enlightened is never having to say "excuse me" after letting one rip. O.K. that's a joke. Truthfully- use your discretion.

@blazed What do you expect to find? Get the cosmic joke yet?

@Absoloot Tooth How does that address this topic directly?

@blazed Let em all collapse and trust your own inner guru.

Just so we don't get into a debate over this it's getting locked. @tecladocasio gave their point of view. Enough said.

@sgn I'm sure Leo will share more info later how it happened (for him). Gotta wait and see.

@sgn It really doesn't matter. When it's time one simple word uttered could be enough. Even a glass shattering on the floor could be the catalyst. It happened and it is complete. That is all that matters.

In the relative world time allows for duration- movement. Just as there is no movement of the puppet until the puppet master pulls the strings, so it is with the influence of time on reality. In an absolute reality free from the distortional effect of time everything would be located at a point of singularity. Or in other words what may be be referred to as God. But time distorts that singular image of God as to create the illusion of separation/ distance, movement through time. So what do you guys think? Throw out the puppet master of time and your one step closer to Gods realm?'

@Nahm Time and space are like first cousins that have a child together named Reality.

Yea it loses it's dimensional factor and collapses into....?..... the absolute?. Or maybe better to say it returns to the absolute. But than again, all this is just a view from this relative reality within time and space.

@Nahm How many people live in the time warp never realizing what it's like to step out of it.

That's the magic. Why it happens? Again, that's the magic! You mention the reason to seek enlightenment is to "feel good". If an enlightened person sees the world as a magic trick made from nothing, how could they have anything other than a smile on their face? Good times or bad. No difference.

@Monkey-man Enlightened ppl don't ask why because there is nothing to ask about. Everything is the absolute and the absolute doesn't exist. I know that's a total paradox. But that's the truth of it. There is no one to wonder why. There is no duality. There is no non-duality. There is no enlightenment. There is no God. There is no creation. There is no one being born. There is no world. There are no appearances. There is no nothingness. There is no void. Everything is the absolute and the absolute doesn't exist. Drop the logic that asks why and it all makes perfect sense. Nothing is.

The Dualistic Mind

@Nahm I have a feeling what Sadhguru was talking about at the lake was more than your run of the mill intergalactic travelers. You've heard of parallel universes and dimensions. Parallel consciousnesses?
