Is there anything more after Samadhi? Less is more. Surrender to the "experience" of samadhi and you vanish. It will absorb you and leave no trace. Poof!

You are your karma= It's all you.

@Santiago Ram Road trip!

It would be interesting to see what comes out of a mound of clay, or whatever medium after 3-4 days of meditation. Something to convey the insight in manifest form.

The story of Adam and Eve is similar. God warned Adam not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. "Knowledge" being the knowledge of the egoic self-separate from reality. Hence the sudden addition of the fig leaf as Adam and Eve then became "self-conscious".

Turyatit beyond presence and absence.

The best way to describe nothingness on a metaphysical level would be to say that it is absent of all content -yet full. By "full" I mean full of potential. Infinite potential ready to be unleashed as content.

Do you control the dream? Or does the dream control you?

When I was a child, 4-7 y.o. I would sometimes experience moments where I was one with reality. Looking back perhaps it was moments of becoming fully conscious. Whatever it was it was a state of absolute perfection that I'll never forget. Many experiences of Daja Vu also up to the age of 10 then they became more infrequent over time.

That's exactly what I meant.

@Princess ArabiaYea right. See my edit*

@Princess Arabia They are not two. Self and other (reality) arise mutually. *Who or what said that?

Nisargadatta quote: "There is no such thing as the experience of reality" Makes most go Humm....Say what? *Infinite imagination may be the best way to describe the experience of reality.

@The Crocodile That's what I love about both Don Juan and Leo. They use the brutal honesty like a laser to cut through the B.S.
