@Dodoster Wouldn't it make you feel so much more enlightened just knowing that your certified? I can send you your official certificate For $19.95 +S+H to be proudly displayed in a place of honor for all to see. And If you order in the next 20 mins, you get a free bumper sticker that say's , " I'm ahead of You because I'm Enlightened".

Hi Pauline. Yes, enlightenment can often become a concept of something "other" to be attained. The truth is what we search for is something that we have only forgotten about. It's not out there somewhere to be found. It's the deeper part of who you are. Path? A path to where everything is happening right now within you?

Everything is happening within consciousness. Everything is consciousness. Particles, the whole universe. If you don't agree that's fine with me. No need to get yourself all upset about it. But it makes me wonder what your doing here on this forum where consciousness is everything.

David Bohm did a thought experiment on the nature of folding and unfolding. He put a drop of ink in vortex of liquid and the droplet dispersed evenly throughout. Than said, "now if you run that backwards, the dispersed ink will return again to a single droplet".

@Leo Gura. I agree, but why do we collectively share the same illusory physical reality for the most part?

It won't. Not fully. Take "spooky action at a distance" as one example. One particle "knows" what the other particle is doing regardless of distance between the two. But physicists won't call it consciousness so until than it will remain "Spooky" to them. Arrogant bastards!

Every scientific finding that has ever been found was within consciousness.

@Geo Nobody told you about the meditation gremlins yet? Your relaxing your mind and body. The forward head nod usually starts first. If your too tired and try to fight it, it usually gets worse. The Zen lurch it's sometimes called. I almost feel off a stool once. Luckily I became conscious of my body just as I was going over which caused the muscles to tense up in a flash. That could explain the sensation of being pushed.

@Beyond Words

@Frogfucius I thought that you may enjoy listening to this. It will bring about a deep appreciation for everything around you. .

@Azrael Do you ever get to look through a good size telescope? I mean a decent size light bucket? It's so fucking awesome. You'll feel like an infinitesimally small speck of dust. The vastness of it blows you away and yet it remains finite. Everything collapses when you realize the entirety of the universe is also no more than a spec of dust.

And the mind filters out even more..

@Meta Morphoses If you really want to get a taste of Sober Infinity, use your intuition and not your mind. Feel it. It is always there. It always has been and always will be. When you step out of your mind than infinity is all that remains. All this that is happing around you now is infinity but the trouble is you can only see with your 5 senses. Move out of the shadow of the mind and into the light. Watch a sunset. When you do, ask yourself "How many sunsets am I experiencing?". If the answer is one, your seeing only what the mind can see.

Weed can make you forgetful. Forgetting who you are. I think that why some ppl get a bit paranoid when they try weed, they can't let go of themselves.

@Whatev3r Yea, It's getting cold here too and the fall leaves have now turned brown. The snow will be falling soon which is beautiful but nothing like spring when everything pops into existence.

@Meta Morphoses Infinite images of the self? One is far to many..

@Whatev3r Just as a suggestion, try the no-self experience in a secluded spot in nature sometime. Sit and meditate than allow the silence to merge with everything. Something wonderful will reveal itself to you. It's amazing!

@Prabhaker I've heard this referred to as "Timeless Time". Sweet!

Although your ship is sturdy, no mercy has the sea. Will you survive on the ocean of being?

I see. Well try work on it. Be the empty space that all this happens within. Just think of that for a moment. Focus on it. If you allow it ,it will reveal itself to you. This doesn't happen within the mind. This is when the letting go plays a crucial role.

Not just meditating but seeing that mind is just B.S. anyway.
