@SageModeAustin You never experianced anything trancendent of the body/mind location? How did Buddha attain enlightenment if in fact he was just sitting on the hard ground under a Bodhi tree the whole time? *A word of caution- when driving a car please stay well focused on your body/mind location at all times for safety sakes. What exactly was this "enlightenment" you experianced? Did all sense of self dissolve into infinite beingness with no fixed location?

I have a large seashell collection. I keep then scattered on all the beaches of the world.

Two newborn babies are lying in a hospital look at each other. Their parents take them both home the same day. 84 years later the same two babies, now 84 years old are back together in the same hospital but at the end of their life. One looks over at the other and says "So what do you think?"

@Annoynymous Asking for information on drug sourcing is against forum guidelines.

@SageModeAustin As often as you can let go of the idea of a "you" being at a fixed location and eventually you will break the perpetuation of the illusion.

@SageModeAustin What remains even in your absence? When you are no longer "you".

@Nic Thanks I didn't know that.

@SageModeAustin It happens in your absence. You can't will it to happen or it won't. It lasted for 10 seconds? In your presents it was 10 seconds. In your absence it was infinity.

@Arkandeus Too much mental speculation/POV.

@Leo-Tzu Spend more time looking at your hand and less time inventing thought stories.

@kieranperez At that level it doesn't have much to do with self mastery or shadow work. There is no longer a self to be mastered. Their Sadhana is well over. A truly enlightened sage is the embodyment of emptiness in manifest form. Thich Nhat Hanh comes to mind.

If every word uttered here were wrong it would still be God/the absolute.

This topic has had the bejesus beaten out of it and now only serves to cause debates. Time to close it down.

@Evelyn Ever try holding your hand about an inch or two above a plain white piece of paper and putting a soft gaze on the fingers? If not give it a try sometime. It was said that the artist Salvdor Dali would stare at an object and contemplate on it until it lost all association. Which is self evident in his work.

@Evelyn That's good stuff there. Your on the right track. Sure it feels freaky at first but only because you have always been attached to the body location. Here's a good video @Shin left the other day.

@Jack River Say what? Beyond experiance? Hush your mouth!

@Emerald Stone cold truth. Love it!

@Jack River Experiances come and experiances go. Such is life.

@Jack River I'll bet you never forget.

@Nahm How am I doing? Give it to me straight up. I gotta know. Where's the blind spots you see that I don't? Be my mirror.

@Nahm He's been coming around nicely. Is that what that is?

@Shin

The nothingness is dreaming all life into existance. Every experience that happens is the dream whether it be the waking state of the physical, sleep/dream states, altered states, ect. Break it up any way you want. It's all one dream happening within the nothingness.

If anybody is interested here's a short vid on the Aboriginal tale of the Dream World.

@seeking_brilliance The dreamer got out of bed to smell the flowers. Are you the dreamer of it all? Or is the dream dreaming of a dreamer who got out of bed to smell the flowers?
