"Nothing is the zip file for everything" ~ Leo Gura (Well he didn't exactly say this quote, but very similar!) Loved it.

Love the video tho!

I don't love my job, I already mentioned that I am highly considering quitting it. I do not enjoy not being able to do what I am supposed to do without constant help from others. I am a charity case. Only there because boss likes "The power of Now" and I had mentioned it in the interview. I already wrote about my decision to quit to the management, so the notice is supposed to be something like few weeks to a few months, not quite sure... There is a bigger talent that is refused a spot, because I am sitting there staring at the code wondering how can anyone ever know these things. It feels like all this coding business is for cyborgs. I just want to not think and be left alone in peace.

I hear ya, but I see a lot of double standard (maybe using this term inappropriately here, but you get what I mean) in spiritual community. At one time brain does not even exist and in fact you don't exist /so be radically accepting/, the next second : Don't do mega-dose, it's dangerous, you fry your brain? Can we reconcile this? Are we the body or are we not?

@Gabriel Antonio My Ego has been suicidal for some part of my life. What I mean is whenever things go against what I like in a hardcore way, I always say. Enough! Take me! Why am I eve alive!! Do you think this kind of Ego structure would be easier or harder to bring dissolutionment to? I feel like when you say existential terror, I wanna go like : I have non-existential terror : Fear of existing I mean I want to die, I just don't want the pain cause im obvs pussy. Also I have proven to myself even without direct experience that I cannot not be, so I feel like if i suicide, im entering a russian roulette with rules I dont yet understand. (My next life could be better or worse) Thats why I want enlightenment and no next life. I just wanna chill around in space as space or something like that :-D

I laughed hard on this experience that I had my dude hahahaha, one of the best written trips! "the message is clear: you have no control over anything" - Just one thing, you forgot to mention that there is infinite control, because it's fucking infinite hahahahaha!!! It's also funny that you talkes about schizophrenia too, as today I searched the definition and saw that it iis exactly the definition of Ego hahahahah (i thought it just meant split personality) "Doctors often describe schizophrenia as a type of psychosis. This means the person may not always be able to distinguish their own thoughts and ideas from reality. Symptoms of schizophrenia Symptoms of schizophrenia include: hallucinations – hearing or seeing things that don't exist delusions – unusual beliefs not based on reality muddled thoughts based on hallucinations or delusions changes in behaviour" So almost everyone on Earth is schizo but we dont know it :-D. I find this highly amusing.

Obviously! And you told yourself that you're not there :-D No self accomplished

Aaah i just love this perfect setup, i cant not post it. My ego is so majestically cunning one could say. "If I'm not there, and you already said I am you, you're not there too!" ? This post more as a joke than actual statement I believe in btw. But it does have some firepower in the realm of lawyering.

I can see how I am awareness, but I cannot see yet how I am love. Not my experience yet, I seem to be overlooking something.

Just like every paradox of the self, can only be resolved at point 0, where there is no self. Some of the qualities of the Self: No fixed Positions No doing Unconditional love If you aim for not having fixed positions (in itself a fixed position), you can only trully achieve it at Ego death (no you) If you aim to do nothing, you're doing something, which is you're "doing nothing" - again can be resolved when self is dissolved. Unconditional love as well as you stated - paradox if there is a one doing it. Maybe not so at the no self position (which we know doesn't have a particular position :-D) We should aim at getting mind fucked, not calming the mind with "understanding" which stems out of deeeeeeeeply rooted beliefs taken for true without question.

Hugging Hitler is not showing Hitler love, there's no difference between hugging and stabbing in nonduality

If you claim to know me, you mean that I am no-one too and hence you, right? Well if you really knew that, you would also know that "I love you" is irrelevant. You're basically lying, because you know other's definition of "I love you" is not "I love myself" nor "nobody loves nobody". Even though in your reality you might be saying the truth based on your definitions and interpretations. Enough said from me here. Some random guys saying I love you to me on forum without ever showing kindness in any way in time of crisis is not doing it for me, not my love jam.

Nobody loves unconditionally. Everyone here who claims they are love are also claiming they are no-one. But at the same time they are writing as someone. It's the Ego taking the Truth and warping it. No guys, you dont love everyone, especially if you never met them and don't know who they are. Unless you are telling me you know me when even I don't know me. (is that what you're saying? I mean could be..)

Prove it, do something for him and everyone else you say you love. Love on words is the easiest thing. A true gesture of love is to help those who are down. Like trully if you loved them unconditionally you would spare no expense to make their life amazing for the price of your even.

God's the best kind of schizo

If I have to believe everything the spiritual books say like I am love, i am God the creator, then unconditional love created the raper in the first place. Unconditional love is perverted and therefore could probably at the same time be called unconditional hate, because it created all illusion and negativity too.

I know about that, my mother has been showing me a lot of tough love too. I've hated her for it too and I still resent her for pushing me so much to "succeed". I keep on pushing her away, she keeps on giving love. No, I'm sorry, there's no such thing as unconditional love. Maybe only from parent to child is the only love that can come close or actually is this. But it's not unconditional because the condition is to be related. See what I mean? :-D All other love is fakery, wishful thinking or simply attachment

I don't even know what it means to have a glimpse of something and know it is the truth. Always raises my third eyebrow when I read about this certain knowing in spiritual books. For me whatever I experience in or outside meditation is just this, an experience and it doesn't prove to me anything for certain. How can it?

@Toby Depends what the definition of love is. Only my mother has proven to love me unconditionally by my definition of love. Trust me there have been many conditions to trigger the opposite. I've also heard the flashy "you are love" a lot, and it's a nice belief to have, but I don't like believing.

Well there is something rather than nothing I guess But is it much to ask for peace and quiet? Is it much to ask to be in equilibrium with our environment? I really hate where Ego is taking humanity. I despise computers, while addicted to them and having to work with them. I am always feeling like a fish forced to climb trees. I just want peace and quiet. I think I've decided to quit my job.

In my first hand experience there is no such thing as unconditional love. If I said otherwise, I will be a bullshitter. See the post above already states that the condition for "unconditional" love is truth.

I feel like people are inconsiderate noise and air polluting jerks. If the universe is my body, humanity is the cancer to be exterminated. Thats my reasoning for liking isolation! (Also why when I'm out, I usually take some earplugs with me) I don't think it's bad.

I guess this follows the wisdom saying : All evil stems from not knowing who we are.

I'm sure it has been asked, but it this monkey mind has a strong valid point?? If god is utterly complete, why would separation arise. If God is enough unto itself (beyond time and space), why would time and space even arise? It feels like God is missing something in it's original form (beyond time and space) and what it is missing is time and space, so they are created... The timeless is incomplete, it needs timeYES. God is incomplete, it needs 7billion+ Egos to feel complete I guess..... !

Not a fan of what you wrote, because I value knowingness over belief (as you may know from our conversations). What I mean is that you've expressed in your post things that you believe as if they're fact. (Something that I've encountered many times with my ex gf btw! :-D ) With the second bold statement it can be clearly seen how you've kind of separated humans from God's masterpiece. Humans are just as part of creation as things around us, so in essence you're saying that the gift is ruining the gift. Ruined for who? The gift itself?
