Exactly, how do you make God laugh? You tell him your plans. Lol No one knows what’s going to happen in the immediacy of the present, knowing is only on demand, upon reflection, by that time happenings are already passed away. R.I.P lol

Yes, indeed, we’re all naked under our many coloured dreamcoats. Ain’t that sweet. 😊

I don’t believe there’s any prescript to life’s ever changing, ever unfolding life, it’s all unwritten as it is being written in the moment which simultaneously dissolves into history. Looking back, on reflection , the demand for knowledge, I see only a memory imprinted now of nothing ever happened.

My personal opinion is that they are different words for the same thing. That’s what I think, others may have their own views that differ or clash with mine, and that’s fine, each to their own is my motto. The physical vehicle is an automatic self driving vehicle, there’s no one at the wheel, and there’s no passengers.

Don’t look in the mirror, be a nobody. Because there really is nobody in the mirror. Idol = idle eyes.

Mutual respect bro. 🙏

Well it’s not even possible to show up to your own show. It goes without saying that the temporary illusion that arises as the sense of a separate self is in no doubt a necessity in life in order for life to function as a human being, no one is denying that. It’s also clear that the universe was not born with an instruction manual informing it how to function, it’s already driving itself on automatic auto pilot, and takes no passengers.

I agree with you. Grasping radical nonduality requires stepping entirely outside the intellectual mind. Because most people rely entirely on their intellect to navigate life, conceptualising a state with "no centre and no boundary" creates massive cognitive dissonance. An infinitesimally small percentage of the global population fully grasps radical nonduality. Because it negates the very idea of a separate "person" to do the grasping. At the end of the day, when you personally understand what Jim is pointing to, then that’s all that matters really, what other people think to the contrary is irrelevant, as there’s only your own understanding according to what you are personally hearing within the message. If people are pushing back with their own personal beliefs, then just let them, it’s not going to amount to a hill of beans, it’s just a load of hot air steaming off. Mostly just blah blah blah, far removed from the clarity within the message.

“There’s no container for the thing he was now that he’s gone. It’s an irrational number. Infinity divided by zero. That’s probably why we put people in containers when they die: coffins, urns, mausoleums – to give a physical shape to the absence.” Knowledge is the name we give to the mystery to give it shape, but the mystery remains untouched, only the need for certainty gets comforted by knowledge. What is the shape of boundlessness?

You’re very welcome. 😊

For me, it’s not an experience for a “ someone”… rather, it’s just a spontaneous “experiencing” that nothing made happen and nothing to stop it from happening.

Because forms are constantly changing and depend on everything else, they are "empty" of a permanent, separate self. Because everything is empty of a fixed identity, it is free to inter-be and change. Emptiness is the very fabric that allows the universe to manifest.

Emptiness is form. Form is emptiness. This non-dual view means that you can live fully in the physical world ("form") while realising that everything is impermanent and interconnected ("emptiness").

The how notion of God is only possible if the how notion of God already exists. That’s what’s recognised as known. This is already the known indescribable mystery describing the mystery that’s indescribable. For even God itself must ponder how it ever got off its own starting block.
