Matthew 18:3 Unless ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. My translation: little children are egoless and without preconception. Always seeing the world anew.

How Do You Relate to Reality, Self, World? Infinite cycles of impermanence.

Dreams are the gateway to infinite dimensions within consciousness, so the possibilities are endless. But for a targeted realization it's often said to set an intention before falling asleep.

I'd start with becoming more aware during sleep and dream states. There is a treasure trove there waiting to be realized.

The mind is mostly landscape orientated. Plus, deep seated emotional triggers from past experiences can often invade the experience of the now moment. One sight. One smell. One word. One thought even is all it takes. When you talk about "training your mind" what you are really talking about is learning to control your Default Mode Network.

Kudos to seeing the mystical experience within the ordinary.

Sure, one can have moments of clarity and oneness. But can you live like that even when the going gets tough?

@Joseph Maynor Some of that reminds me of Traffic.... @integral Listening to this by Traffic and I forget I exist. That's how I gauge good music. Whether I get lost in it or not.

Do you ride such a "crotch rocket" to its full potential? If so, please be careful. We wouldn't want to have to change your name to Dentinthewall.

I see what you're saying, and it makes sense as a deterrent. But that could all change in an instant. Eventually some country is going to find their back against the wall and as a last resort have no other option but to press the launch button -metaphorically speaking.

I'll have to check that out. Is desire to end all desire a desire? So- to- speak.

Do you see the same with nuclear weapons?

I had to fact check that. You're right. The H2R

Instead of hating Trump, love the infinite diversity.

@Monster Energy You've been here for just over 6 months, but after 10 years, I can tell you you're only getting a snapshot. And things for the most part are good now. But there was a time when things were getting really ugly around here. You couldn't keep up with it. Nasty name calling, personal insults flying left and right. It was out of control. There even used to be a thumbs up/ thumbs down button that someone could hit besides someone else's reply that was trusted to be used with discretion. But if someone had a nasty bout with another member, they would intentionally follow them and leave a thumbs down on every reply they made just to get even. So that had to be deleted because it was being used as a weapon. So, the bottom line is, anything goes just doesn't work.

You can access everything you speak of here and now.

It goes a bit deeper than just, "When all false notions are dissolved, only Truth remains". Much deeper!

I haven't read it yet, but from what I understand this book is one of Ralston's more advanced works. So, yes, probably best to start with Not Knowing first and let that jell a bit.

Oh man. I was going to print up some pamphlets and spread the word.

"Ditch digger" meaning those who refuse to awaken. -They live in a spiritual ditch of their own making. They don't want Truth. They want what serves them best.

The world needs ditch diggers too.

I found it listed on Amazon, but it's, "Out of stock".

All that needs to be said. I'm not in the universe. I am the universe experiencing itself.

@Leo Gura @lostingenosmaze Let's not forget about Minnie here too.

Well then. If you ever get cancer, you'll already know what's in store. Truth is most cancers you may not realize you have until a diagnosis. That's when the real fun starts.
