I would be jealous if he had 1 million in the bank that's true. Sue me. I want to live an abundant life. I am not jealous of delusions

Exactly!! LOA is pure bullshit!!! Never had any magical results!! I only ever got money from my work! They say "You have to believe for it to work" lololol and how to believe if there are no results to make me believe?? :D:D omg LOA is one of the most annoying shits!!! Its full proof!! There is no way to prove LOA wrong, because if you try to do so, they will start jumping you saying "Its not working bcuz u dont believeeeeeeeeeeee" "you gotta beeeeeeeeliiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve" Wow. Well I believe enough to listen to those hour long binaural beats sessions daily and meditate to them!! And no results. Just the interest on my loans growing bigger!! It seems that those LOA videos are working for the banks instead!! The house always wins they say

Money excites me. It promises me freedom and opportunity. I am trying to follow money... but it just keeps going out of my pocket instead!!! How can I follow it when it runs away???

I also had a fart today I want to congratulate YOU that YOU realised that there is no YOU. What a load of bollocks!!!

Well u said it, Bashar said it, many have said it - follow what excites you. I really want to have money. I dont have looks, I dont have smarts, I want to have SOMETHING ffs!! Self inquiry is pretty much there most the time - from the frantic WHO AM I questioning, to the silent recognition that I am the observer and not the observed which makes me feel falsely happy and safe (like a drug high for a while). Then I snap back to reality and realise I gotta pay the rent and now need to go slave myself to milk some money from the system to survive. Oh shoot!!

Its true tho, I've listened to 1000s of hours of LOA / Abundance / Wealth binaural beats and meditations!! I am currently at 10k+ in debt. Nice going!! Most these videos said "100% results" Oh I see!! Tell me more!!

I know that it will give me happiness. I would be able to get my favourite takeaway every day. I would be able to go to Amsterdam and enjoy true FREEDOM!! My man!! I am a prisoner of society :))) The alternative is to cut my throat and seek happiness in the beyond.. Dropping the "false body"... Im pretty sure I will get there after a "long and prosperous" life anyway! Better have some fun in the meantime.... no?? But now to make the millions... This is the hard part!! Unless I get lucky with my investments. Law of attraction failing me daily... Never seen it working, unless I do the working!! Me- the body!!!!

Yes this is all good stuff!! But how practical is it... Ofcourse Rupert Spira is the best and I have heard all of those and followed those pointings.. I always return to being a body that needs to have food, needs to sleep, needs comfort and many other things like money to be alive, healthy and happy. In deep sleep I do not need those things and I do not crave anything, I do not identify as anything but I also do not experience happiness. I experience nothingness - I want to be happy, to EXPERIENCE happiness. I want to be rich and be able to afford good food, travelling, to be able to build a family and live "The dream". If I were Jane's infinite mind, I would never want Mary to suffer. Who cares if Mary thinks she is Mary and not Jane. Jane is so infinite it shouldn't be a problem for Jane to give Mary the BEST life she can possibly have. If I really am the creator of my own reality, why am I making this body suffer? It doesn't seem right. I would NEVER do that. I am not a sadistic fuck like Jane's infinite mind. Must be my humanity speaking.

Oh you're not fair with that dream stuff. Ofcourse in my dreams I get identified as another body. I've even been a flying toy car in my dreams that I was identified as. But there is no other "I" there. Awareness is God, not me. I do not make the dreams, I am just the egoic entity inside. I am the flying car, I am the dream body, I am the waking body. I am not God.

Look I think we are on about different things. You are talking about some intangible "I". I am talking about what the word I refers to. One of the most tangible and obvious things in our existence. The body. The body is the biological system you are talking about. This is the I, I think the title was quite simple.. Perhaps this is too simple to grasp (wink). Ok let me for a moment agree with you as if I was speaking about this esoteric intangible I you are talking about. The I is redundant- ok - to whom is it redundant? From your comment the answer would be - to the biological system. Well so forget about this redundant I, the I is obviously the biological system, not that redundant I thought that takes credit. The biological system is I. The body is I. Hence the title of my post - I refers to the body.... I knoooow in this community we are forced to believe that saying "I am the body" is blasphemous!!! But it is just my experience. If I truly was PURE AWARENESS - what is all this going to the toilet business? Lets work with simple things here, simple things!! Toilet!!

Ok, but there is a problem here which I dont think you can easily see. This is like the kid laughing at the naked king. You are made to see the king as having clothes, because this is what spirituality teaches. First of all, the self referencial is a feature rather than a bug. It is the way in which we are able to act in a way that is not only based on animalistic instincts. Yes animals do pretty well without an I thought, but they sure still do act as if they are their bodies and follow their body's desires for food sex and etcetera. One can say they are even more identified, just cannot think it or express it. This Gart Weber you are referring to... Are you referring to his enlightened identity as empty awareness or as the bodymind that wrote a statement about itself and its life? Yeah, the latter indeed... The king without clothes. Its obvious to those not indoctrinated.

To be Enlightened means to be yourself. I'm pretty sure everyone is themselves, no other option!!! Congrats!!

Enlightenment stereotypes be like... Facepalm! Emptiness is neither humble nor not humble. Enjoy your life and drop this heavy stuff... This forum has become too heavy. There was a time where we shared love to each other - what is important.

Everyone is enlightened

Yes, awareness cannot be known as an object

So enlightenment is thrown around a lot by many people. My question is: How do you know you are Enlightened, are there some sort of credits that roll which notify you when you reach Enlightenment? How is anyone sure they are Enlightened? Another question is, isn't everyone Enlightened? (Negating the idea that someone has more answers to give than anyone else)

Invest in xrp. (not financial advice ?)

If nobody talked about it, you wouldn't know about it and wouldnt be seeking it. But you would be seeking other things most likely.

I had a dream last night in which I was super identified (more than usual) with the character in the dream. The character was almost exactly the same as my current egoic identity. I did not know I was asleep. I was talking to my sister and told her her behaviour was caused by Satan - because I see her as materialistic. Then as I mentioned Satan I experienced a very strong fear that something is coming for "me". I was scared to think about that word/name, but I kept thinking about it... And then I sensed something like I was dying... I became something like a whirlwind... I dont know, freaked me out. Was all an illusion. The Me that died was not real. Never was, never has been, never will be.

I also want to add that seeking Ego death is a fool's errand, because the Ego is already an illusion. Suicide can be done only if you believe you are the body and you believe that by ending the body you end yourself. There is a base error there. If the body dies, you do not die. Hence suicide is impossible - it is a fool's errand. Enjoy being, peace.

Basically in non-duality you can say anything and when someone comes back to you with a slightly different phrasing which sounds too nihilistic, you can just wave your hand and say no, thats not wwhat I meant, this topic is too deep for you. Life is eternal. There is no evidence of non-life. You cannot be dead. If you are dead, there is no you to "be dead". Life is the default state.

Where are you? Here. When are you? Now. Who are you? Awareness.

Lets contemplate in the heart

Me

I'm currently in deep hell territory and this post really helps
