Effortless is effort. Effort is effortless. No thing is thing. Thing is no thing. That’s the paradox. There’s no such thing as efforting carried out by a thing. Except in this conception, which is mentally constructed language. Outside of man made language, reality has no concept of a conceptual thing doing anything. There’s just doing, where doing is done, no doer thereof. This core concept of non-doership, highlights that actions occur naturally through cause and effect without a separate, permanent "self" directing them. These empty principles are what JK and every sage that come before and after have been pointing to since the birth of human conceptual language. A lion cannot tell itself it’s exerting effort when hunting prey. There’s simply hunting prey. I’m totally perplexed and often baffled that you don’t seem to be able to process the idea that seeing though this paradox is what JK and all the other sages and gurus have been hinting at for eons. But maybe I’m just not seeing what you are seeing, and that’s perfectly fine by me. You can only know what you know or see what you see, and no one is denying you your knowledge of these understandings. Okay.👍

Pure clarity.

Very smart. 💯👍 He’s even the author of our faith in him. Amen. 🙏

Interpret that however you want. It’s your prerogative. I interpret JK’s statement to mean there’s no try, there’s either, you do or you don’t , then commit fully without trying. Just be, without claiming, no claim no blame, no fame. I personally like that selfless approach to being.. but that’s just me.

Yes, nihilistic can be positive as well as negative depending on which way you look at it. It doesn’t matter to infinity, infinity is infinite love, and love always wins. Be loved. The beloved is all there is.

I think the point he is making imho, is to do enjoy being of service to others without making it a something to take credit for. Just do it for the love of service to others, and to not try to out stand someone else, in other words don’t put yourself above others because even the road sweeper or toilet cleaner is equal to a brain surgeon. Those that work together, stay together, so to speak. Collaboration builds trust and connection. That’s got to be a good idea.

Absolutely 👍

By the hand of the almighty God who holds the earth up. The world hangs on nothing. Nothing ever moved. Everything is spinning on the spot effortlessly and weightless. The journey is the already the destination.

Stunning.😍 btw, I love to wait with what expression you come up with next. They’re taking my breath away. Thanks for another beautiful expression.

Aha moment. You’re very welcome. 😊

Because to make the claim consciousness is all there is, is to create a division of knower and known, a duality of sorts. But in reality, outside of its mental construct, there no mental construct, there’s just the indescribable mystery as Jim eloquently points to, using words, but that’s the divine paradox that doesn’t actually exist in the real world.

It doesn’t matter because nothing that’s said can be proven or disproven, it’s all good, perfectly as it is, no question about it. Nothing is ever in danger.

The water has no mind to receive the picnic basket’s image. Well Said, Hojo.

I personally resonate deeply with Jim’s message. Thanks for that. 💯👍

Unless the wall is made of breeze blocks breezing through the blockage. lol
