You sure are playing, but you just haven't noticed it yet, there's in fact nothing to do but play, but you took your game too seriously and now you go around trying to "help" everyone. Lighten up bro!

How do you know? Who knows this? What is 'knowing'? What is 'yes' and 'not'? We can play this game forever, yet words are all we have right now.

^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | This sir, is absolute truth.

Before enlightenment there are two shores, and the dharma can help you cross over, after you've crossed both the shores and the dharma disappear. "Beyond" and "Deeper" also disappear, just an eternal now remains. Once you get there, all doubts will lift, all questions evaporate in an instant. We are standing before an apple tree, and I tell you, go eat the apple, and you say, but what is beyond the apple, and so you remain hungry for apples. Just eat the apple.

@Truth Addict I tried my best at being challenging. Sorry if it didn't help. I think it's best to remind these points, I wouldn't mind if someone did the same for me. Why? Because raising great doubt is key to this work. We're in this together. Your effort is sincere, and you must keep at it, and reach the limit of knowing for yourself, only then you will be satisfied. I don't know of any way more practical and direct than this. But it takes time to realise it, since the mind is distorting everything it sees or hears to its own agenda. (confirmation bias)

These are groundless assumptions, that I would suggest questioning: "Reality exists. I exist." "Reality doesn't exist. I don't exist." "There is existence." "There is truth, and it can be found out." "There's something to 'get'. Or 'someone' to get it." "There is something more to reality than I think I know." "Truth is what is." "Truth is the present moment." "Zero mystical experiences so far" How do you know you are not having one right now? How do you know all these things? Why are you so sure? Being sure is never a good sign, it means you've bought into your own beliefs.

Don't get what? There's nothing to get. If you even want to get it in the first place, you haven't surrendered your will fully. It will happen naturally as you keep trying and failing. "If a fool persists in his folly, he can become wise” Only upon deep practice you will find out what not-knowing is. Right now you might think: "huh not-knowing who even cares about knowing", but you actually left many basic assumptions unquestioned without noticing. @Barna This man should totally make an "I'm enlightened" post! He's totally woke.

@Arhattobe

You are a concept, I'm a concept let's stop using non-dual concepts as an excuse to stop contemplating. If you don't exist stop posting and leave this forum, let us not-exist in peace.

Then is life the teacher or the person? please decide. Knowledge is the only thing a teacher can teach, but it's best to always be a student, and never a teacher to avoid delusion and pride. One can claim to know many things simply because he memorised them, but to claim wisdom is foolish, you would miss many lessons that way. Deep un-knowing is the key to true wisdom.

If there's just reality, then no teacher or master had ever existed, just god, teaching himself.

Are you still trying to teach? Prepare for many lessons. The teacher is the student.

You'll get it when you realise there's nothing to get, and totally surrender to not-knowing.

If you think you get it, you don't, if you don't get it, you've gotten it. For there is nothing and no-one to get what's been gotten all along.

It might be true, but it becomes false the moment you say it. Since true and false are a duality, and so is nothing vs everything. It both includes and transcends duality and non-duality.

Don't teach an old man to cough. I'm afraid he's right, you are giving reality to the concept of "illusion", while there is such phenomena as "thought", it's content is a dictionary circle jerk leading nowhere. There is a dream story, but it can't be said the jello monster in your dream exists, can it?

@Yousef It wasn't sincere enough. To truly pray takes great practice. But in the process of learning you will realise you don't really want it, you already have what you asked for, there's no need to pray. And in any case you did get it, but you can't see that yet. "The thoughts are the content of the mind and they shape the universe." R.M.

If it didn't nothing would exist. All existence is "prayed" into being, that is in fact the process of creation. Any thought in the mind is simultaneously manifesting "reality".

@SOUL

Why thank you dear sir, I try not brag about it, but sure. I guess my job here is done. *Flies away*

*Deep bow* Finally a true master has arrived. Let's have more "I'm Enlightened" posts!

Your integration is staggering. Teach me oh Enlightened one. Can I ask you any questions now?

Meanwhile I'm pretty satisfied with what is. There's is an infinite amount of depth to Jibber jabber, but there's no use of going there. At some point going around in circles bores you, and you just surrender to wonder, you become one with god, and he takes care of the rest. Just give god the wheel and enjoy the ride. You never had the wheel anyway.

Jibber jabber is all there is. Don't put legs on a snake.

If used correctly a hammer won't break things. Since enlightenment is such a subtle castle of glass, it takes mastery and care not break and ruin it.
