Bentinho Massaro, Frank Yang, Jed Mckenna,

For me the key insight was this: If I had the same brain, experiences and environment that a given person had - I would behave and think exactly as they do. We are all in this together. Try to look at everyone as an innocent child. Wake up this kind of parental love for anyone.

Badass! Lovely post Was this some sort of shift for you? How did you come to realize what was written here?

30minute meditation in the morning and 30 minute meditation in the evening is an absolute minimum to keep the mind sharp enough to perceive magic imho. No other way around it.

Yes, it's just a lense. I like that lense because it makes me me cheerful

It's something Frank Yang said and there is beautiful truth to that. It's like after my separate self dissolved now there is less and less voice commenting anyone's actions. It's like just as my body has no separate self and is moved by whole reality, the same applies to perception of other people. They just say and do things that Infinite Inteligence throws at them. Just like clouds at the sky. There was never an ego, so the same is seen in others. It's beutifull because it frees me of this programme that you have to help someone. Everythings is just perfectly unfolding and there is no-one doing it. Neither here nor in "others". No egos. Just reality unfolding without doers. Ego is just an optical illusion - the same here as in others.

We really do have a similar taste my friend 😗

Only egos see egos.

I just read absolutely beautiful post by Matt Kahn and I had to share it with my lovely forum: """ Imagine you are sitting around a campfire with friends. You feel the warmth of the heat, but begin to be transfixed, almost hypnotized by the changing shapes of smoke dancing above the flames. As the smoke moves in various patterns, a face can be seen. While forgetting your surroundings, you imagine the face you see in the smoke to be who you are. First you think, “How did I get in this smoke? Did I do something wrong? Am I being punished?” Perhaps, followed by the fear, “I’ve got to get out of here before this fire burns my smoke-shaped face.” You even say out loud, “Hey, do you all see my face in the smoke?” No one does because from their vantage point, the smoke takes different shapes, offering a distinction in experience. As no one but you sees your face shaped out of the smoke in sight, you feel sadness. “No one sees me or understands the uniqueness of my experience.” While the fate of the smoke-shaped face comes and goes, you suddenly realize, “I am not the shape of the smoke in sight, I am the witness of it.” You then return to your perspective as one of many observers sitting around a campfire. You say to the others, “I just had the wildest spiritual experience. I lost myself in the shape of a face I saw in the smoke, only to realize, the one experiencing it is so much bigger. I no longer think I am the smoke about to be burned by the fire. It can warm my skin, but it cannot touch the observer in any way. I now understand the nature of ego.” As you share this insight to a mixture of resonance, silence, and confusion, the experience deepens. Everything you just realized was fundamentally true, but to stay there would be the creation of the spiritual ego. If ego were the face molded out of the smoke in view, the spiritual ego could only be the face of the one viewing it. Then you hear a voice within your heart, “Are you ready to go even deeper than this insight?” Just as you are about to answer yes, your experience changes. Suddenly, you realize the shapes coming and going in the smoke and each person sitting around you are all equal expressions of the fire in sight. It’s as if the identity projected onto the face molded out of smoke, and even the identities of the observers around you are all unique ways the fire gets to know itself. When you thought you were a face dancing in smoke, your experience skimmed along the surface of reality, where you feared being burnt by the fire. Even when seeing yourself as the observer, you were a character separate from the power of the flame, close enough to be warmed by its heat, but without a direct realization of its infinite brightness and eternal power. Having taken things deeper, you have realized you are the eternal flame of existence, fueling the joy of self-discovery as both the observer of the fire and the beliefs projected onto the shape that smoke takes when viewing it. As the fire, you are the Source of all experiences and the intersecting point of connection that makes you and the people around the campfire one united reality, even while experiencing it as separate witnesses or observers. Then a fear arises, “How will I stay the fire? What if the others begin engaging me as their separate observer selves and pull me back into my body?” Then your experience deepens: If the smoke and observer are equal expressions of the fire, then it cannot be wrong to experience myself this way. It was only limiting and dense when I thought I was only the face shaped out of smoke or the observer of the fire. Now that I know I am truly the fire within it all, just as everyone else is, I accept it is the will of the fire to explore interchanging experiences, whether as smoke, the appearance of people warmed by the flames, or the witness learning from its observations. You realize that even if pulled back into the infancy of smoke, or the adolescence of observation, you have always been the fire within it all; expressing the power of light that doesn’t know how to dim, diminish, or shine less brightly. Applying this to your life, the faces shaped out of smoke are the ever-changing landscape of thought. You are not the character each thought suggests, but the source of thinking itself — existing just underneath the surface of your experience. The belief that you are these smoke-shaped thoughts and nothing else is the nature of ego. This is learned by the spiritual ego, or the observer of the smoke, which happens to be a more densely-shaped smoke imagining itself still separate from the fire in view. All the while, the truth of your infinite nature exists as a fire that cannot be extinguished that experiences itself as a world of thought and observers that come to life out of a timeless dance of smoke and ash. Once you know yourself to be the fire burning brightly in every heart, it is the will of the fire, beyond the grasp and understanding of personal will, that decides whether any moment is experienced as the smoke, the observer, or the fire itself. From this space of clarity, being the smoke or the observer no longer contains fear or limitation, since it is merely the way in which an inextinguishable fire of consciousness grows and expands. The fate of smoke can change, just as the perspective of the observer. All the while, you are a fire burning brightly within and throughout it all, with nothing to figure out, process, or keep straight. Even if there were something to process, it would just be the billowing mental smoke that reminds you how intelligent and powerful of fire you happen to be. This is the moment you are free. You cannot go backwards after knowing this. It’s not a belief to maintain or an idea to defend. It’s just the way things are. Now you can truly enjoy the magnitude of the campfire, no matter the differing experiences of those around you. All for love, Matt Kahn """ The only thing I would add is that ultimatelly there is also this Ineffable non-space in which the fire arises and vanishes each moment eternally. And you're both and neither that space and the fire.

Bigger game is just part of life.

Just like understanding reality could be out of vanity. There is something beautiful in having an aesthetic body. Being an expression of beauty, discipline in a very direct way. Being a sculptor (and therefore an artist) od your own body. Just like there is something beautiful in understanding reality. It depends on motivation. Many artists pursue their "passions" for appearing cool and getting their egos validated. This particular body would much more prefer to have a beautiful, healthy, strong, flexible body than being able to paint. It's just a bias.

Yup, you are right. That's what "neither" points to 😗

Yeah! And that is the Trippiest and Most Normal phenomenon there is at the same time

Yes! Totally agree. But it's just how it feels kinda, this vibration vibrating in and out of source every moment. So vibrant, so alive! But yet so non-existent at the same time. This Flickering of every sensation/sight/feeling/thought/emotion is the most liberating shit haha

This beautiful radiant lucid hologram/Wholeness is literally appearing and disappearing every nano-second. Reality/God/You die with every frame. And then are reborn instantenously. So it's a superposition of being alive and dead. So in a way nothing really happens. There is no process. No learning, just a beautiful concerto being played out. And all your thoughts and sense of being separate are just part of that concerto played by infinite inteligence.

That's sweet! Do you mean Ozora Festival by chance? Always wanted to go there, maybe I will be third-wheeling with you guys

What about the girl that you were supposed to meet with? Give us report from that

Yes! Baseline is what I am interested in now. For Leo highest value of his life is Understanding. So his exploring of highest, dangerous states with psychedelics is perfectly in line with that. But for me, for this body it's about Freedom, Fun, Lightness, Joy. All of that comes from mastering baseline. And I had major shift two weeks ago and altough I am not there yet it's totally obvious that Frank's levels of baseline are genuine and possible. Dissolving the feeling of center is crucial for baseline. When you look at the world and have no sense of location then it's like the universe takes care of your baseline on itself.

I am currently sick a lot in bed. So I will probably watch it. At some point in spiritual journey animated movies became much more interesting than many "serious" movies. There is so much creativity and other-world mechanics. Every frame is a piece of art like in Spirited Away for example. Didn't expect that. I was laughing that my sceptic, serious, scientific, materialist character from 10 years ago would never believe that I will like "Barbie" more than "Oppenheimer" but here we are...

I'm from Poland and I confirm this.

Did you see "Soul"? It' my favourite animated so far.

I really like how Anna Brown - which was categorized on the forum as one of those neo-advaita people that say there's no-one to wake up - basically says the same thing as Leo when it comes that to the fact there is no-end to exploring infinite consciousness - 46:00 - 46:40

Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat Losing contact with the living Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain Don't see anything real in the game The tension is building constantly No reason just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork I try to keep an eye open And I realize I haven't closed my eyes in a long time Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside I haven't close my eyes in a long time, I am trying I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore But I'm here to continue, after all I have been through I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing This life and death more precious than anything I won't bring no material in the after life Take no possessions, I would rather travel light I'm of this kind that kills all day But I don't know yet how to die Art of dying is the way to let all go Within I practice, in the secret of my soul My shape in the reflector has Now for ever, a life on it's own

Will I understand the newest part (4th?) without seeing the previous movies?
