  1. That’s cool you were able to experience that
  2. Ok. But saying “awareness is aware of something” sounds dual. It’s fine though maybe I’m being picky
  3. It sounds like it, because you said “only what pure awareness is aware of, exist” suggesting duality: awareness and what awareness is aware of
  4. So pure awareness (nothing) is separate from everything else?
  5. Why raw milk in particular? Some recommend it. It’s almost a trend now. Is it because it has good bacteria for the gut or something that otherwise gets killed in pasteurization ?
  6. There are probably plenty methods to get there
  7. That’s cool you’re able to spot the difference. I don’t really feel much difference between different foods, I suppose it’s because my baseline health is very good, good digestion and I eat healthy in general so I maintain a baseline level of feeling good (or neutral) all the time.
  8. Exactly, consciousness in the way OP writes means duality. I heard Rupert Spira say if I remember correctly something along the lines of there being two steps in awakening. First consciousness awakens to itself, but that’s still duality, then it merges with everything, something like that. Don’t know what that’s all about. How can there be a “nothing” (consciousness) separate from everything
  9. Just be polite and don’t contribute to the conflict. Not much more you can do
  10. Once during sleep paralysis vibrational state a female voice told me suffering is love so I believe it . Nature of reality is love it’s said .
  11. Ok thanks
  12. My mind is quite quiet a lot of the time, there are large gaps between my thoughts. I don’t feel more present because of it though. It’s a bit unclear what it means to “become here and now with absolute focus”. What do I do? Where do I direct my attention? For example during my meditation today I focused my attention on my breath. That is an action I can take, directing my attention. How do I “become here and now?
  13. Many people haven’t even been presented the idea that the self could be “illusion” so it’s hard to say how they would respond to it. More people should hear about it so that they can make a choice whether to pursue enlightenment or not.
  14. You don’t see others and the world in an objective way, you see your own mental projections as an overlay on the world, as a lens, as a judgement of everything , so in that sense you’re living inside your own mind. But your mind is part of the collective mind, so it’s also shared with others, you have similar mental projections like others do. So you are in a sense alone with your mind, your mental projections. Doesn’t mean other people are mental projections, but it acts like an overlay on them, on the “objective” world. Dissolving this means dissolving yourself
  15. What did you write I don’t know which one it is
  16. Is that the essence of his teaching?
