@MarkusR Hi Markus. The metaunderstanding of consciousness is that everything is consciousness. And everything that appears within consciousness is illusion. If you would, really think about that statement for a moment. Look at your hand. What you are experiencing is consciousness creating the illusion of a hand (with the help of your mind). So that being said, all knowledge is consciousness. Science is consciousness. University is consciousness. Investigations are consciousness. Location is consciousness. Time is consciousness. Body is consciousness. Practice is consciousness. Meditation is consciousness. Sense of presence is consciousness, ect. Do you see what I'm really saying? You can not- not apply consciousness to any field because everything is already consciousness. How could you apply consciousness to a field when it's already there and in fact created that very field. I mean, you can in an illusory way. But it wouldn't be a full meta-understanding of what consciousness really is.

Yes, and the "collective" being consciousness IMO. "Me" and "you" are just the embodiment of consciousness. As far as recollecting Atlantis, I don't know how he did it. Just a guess, a pure mind or transcendence of mind with an intention put behind it? And sometimes it just happens as if out of nowhere. Some people do seem to have that ability to tap into something beyond the "normal" senses.

Everything known happens within consciousness. Everything that is, is consciousness.

@Faceless Consciousness isn't bound to the laws of time and space as mind is.

@Ruby White A friend of mine had a book about Atlantis that was written (if I remember correctly) in the 1800's. I need to research exactly what book that was. The author had full recollection of being there. Amazing the similarities of what he describes as Atlantis in comparison to the modern world of today. Who knows what knowledge is yet to be found that has been lost.

@Ruby White Just wondering. What do you think about Edgar Cayce? I was intrigued by the man (and the subject) early on when my exploration into alternate planes of consciousness first started. I had a lot of Daja Vu (and similar type) experiences at a young age so that's what sparked my interest in the subject.

I had a friend who did trip in the woods and thought he could creep up on the bears.

@Mike Rivers The teaching which destroys the individual is exactly what the individual seeks. Nisargadatta Who are you working so hard for?

@saint_charming7 You posted this 20 mins. ago. You could have added 20 mins. to your meditation instead. One more reply and there's your hour.

Haha That was coming next. It is all you. What was it that William James said about "the filmiest of screens'?

@Jamie Universe Hi. That was a type of Samadhi experience you probably had. Union. It felt as if God was looking through your eyes?

@tatsumaru Have a pure- still mind and you will be it.

@Faceless A guru is not someone who teaches things. That is a misconception. A guru is a doorway. The same can be with books.

@egoless Where can anyone really go? Put your right arm out to the side. You reached into what is you.

@tatsumaru Clear light is a pure- refined-intelligent light energy beyond the ordinary raw 'white' light that comes from the Sun. It drives everything in existence and is at the very core of it all. Don't think of as anything like the light energy you know. Think of it this way, everything in existence is made of one underlying "fabric", that would be clear light..

@snowleopard I was pointing to the forum as a microcosm of the planet. IMO if we were all truly enlightened here harmony would be spontaneous/effortless not tedious. In the vastness of this entire universe there has got to worlds that live in peace somewhere. We're just not one of em'. But we try none the less. Hence this forum. "Let him who would move the world, first move himself" Where do I know that from?

Even if everyone on the forum was enlightened, there would still not be peace on the forum.

@Dan Arnautu This is off the subject but are you familiar with Calum Graham? He's got a bit of a different style to his playing.

@Dan Arnautu Sure. Maybe you'll find it of use.

@Dan Arnautu I never used a link before. Not sure how to. Page 2- 4th topic from the bottom you can find it.

@Dan Arnautu did you check out @Azrael's Anchor post yet?

What could be more Zen Devilish than a good distraction?

@Driven62 You gotta let go and trust. What are fears? Imaginary projections into the future, right? Illusions. Or give naked sky diving a try. Face fear and humiliation all at the same time by jumping out of a plane bare ass at 10,000 ft. That should cure you quick!

@Nexeternity Wow, for whatever it's worth, I just got done listening to Across the universe and Let it be. Synchronicity?

That's your job to figure out what that is and deconstruct it. But if you really want to cut to the chase. It's all of it. He who thinks he knows where he is standing- is in trouble.
