Dodo

Look Iam the consciousness which says "I am", I am is being itself, it always is being'd... But that doesnt mean your mind does not need a rest. Meditation is like performing general scans on your system. To know thyself deeply from within, you might say. I am not fooling myself into anything, as I meditate for the love of meditating itself. Meditation for me means to be aware that I am aware and sink into that feeling knowing of existence itself. Pure beingnessand isness. But sometimes the story gets very challenging and I have to start doing and I sometimes lose the calm and bliss of being!

just because you cant do nothing doesn't mean others cant D: There is a qualitative difference between sitting in meditation and when doing something. The magnitude of peacefulness is so much deeper when alone with the heart, no drama no mind. That is do nothing, and then I accept any movement because that is part of the nothingness. Uncreated, natural movement allowed. I don't sit like a statue, many tense up too much while meditating. It's the number 1 self help habit to have... Now Leo is on about other things, but for me he hit gold with the meditation habit.

Yeah but what I mean is, we could just sit and meditate all day, actively not doing. Doing I mean events you do with body. I get your saying but there is definitely a difference between being a vegetable and doing stuff in outside world as well. By Outside world, i mean that which body can interact with.

I would suggest that for humans and other intelligent beings it is about the balancing between being and doing. A tree and lightning do not have the opportunity to do, they can only be and passively grow (for vegitation). Humans are a complicated bunch with many perverted minds and many blinded by perceived superiority to the rest of creation. Creates a lot of imbalance and it is up to us to balance this play or we go the way of the dodo! (which is a horrible expression... Dodo birds were very gentle creatures and didn't deserve what happened to them... Much bad karma for humanity right there... But we can make it better, we can be better.)

or if he does, it is not really gambling for God. If you have unlimited resources, you are not gambling. Only if your resources are finite can you lose or gain anything.. So it is not up to me whether God play dice or not, but if he does, its not equal to the human one. Its impossible made possible, whichever way we look at it, if we say that reality came out of nothingness. Here is a quote that my ex-girlfriend has given me, way before I even was into spirituality: "Remember that this world is not real! It is a battlefield of opposing forces, where we learn the practice of overcoming that which appears to be using that which we know is the true reality" (true reality aka Love, as mentioned by Leo). - Richard Bach If we try to understand how all of this works etc, we might become insane... There are so many little details that go way way deep. One can get lost simply in one area because it is infinite and always has more to understand... So it is better to just leave it to love and act as/in love so we are tuned with the force that moves all this.

It is ultimately paradoxical and mind will not be able to grasp how God works... It may appear this way or that, and when you think you've figured it out, it would be the opposite. A wasp is just as much you as the other forum members here. Go and catch a wasp and see if it stings you... Sometimes you are not supposed to trust everyone and everything, even if they are you as another incarnation. I for one, can only trust myself, and even more so, can only trust my conscious self. I cannot really trust the unconscious parts of me. You should wait fr response from someone else on this topic, but from my understanding, life is a game and battle field of polarities. Be nondual at your discresion, there might be wasp -selves, unconscious selves, which have not reached the realisation of oneness. And that's how it should be, because thats how it is..

They say the illusion is that you believe that you have a POV to begin with. They call it illusory "they"

Ok but thats cool for the emptiness, but the Dodo being is my identity. I feel whatever the dodo human feels. The dodo awareness as opposed to justfortoday awareness. If you get stung by a bee, I wouldn't notice. I can try avoiding getting stung by a bee... I cannot make you avoid it. The bee, is also that emptiness, but it would sting the crap out of me. Now take this pain of a sting, and imagine that knowing or intending to know God's working is like a crime against God himself and you get stung by that bee eternally, since the 0self cannot die, now it is enslaved/ sent to hell. Both in heaven and hell, i would be aware. But tell me, who prefers hell? Both would be just an appearance on top of emptiness, but there is Someone who doesn't want pain and suffering and welcomes goodness and love.

The problem I have with what you're saying is that it is like claiming to understand the workings of God. God is much higher than me and thank God he is in charge and not me! Really it might be arrogant to claim understanding of the Absolute... To an extent i do not deny what you say. I want to just say that perhaps we need to be mindful of accepting the mystery is beyond any one entity's understanding. Solipsism is a belief, but when I operate through it, reality becomes wonky. Mixes real and hallucination... I connect too many dots, i see messages, speaking to me... Mouse traps... Its like playing against the rest of the universe and saying "only this is real" and then the Grandmaster universe puts you in your place for having been so foolish. I was crying like a baby.

Would not recommend to anyone who values their life to follow solipsistic notions like the ones in this thread. You can get insane things happen and they will only happen to you. You will be ready for looneyville if you are not careful and radically openminded etc. Many would go insane after meeting the Devil and many other crazy things that happened to me due to the solipsistic notion. Might be truth, but is it a truth you want? Maybe there is more wisdom in the saying "Ignorance is bliss" I have anothet quote for you: knowing is love's biggest enemy. I would also direct you towards the apple of knowledge in the garden of eden to further support this.

Cheetah practicing the pathless path

Its a funny meme, but since I had the experience of meeting the devil, that must mean it is not me.... Right? If it is experienced, it is not me? I guess this video comes to me at the right time

Have you met with the devil before? Just asking, do you have some experience like that? Like talking to someone and then without any cutaways they become a deeper presence which is like the actual devil?

Universal mind in need of balancing

Bold claim: this video will make more sense to you than to hardcore mathematicians without spiritual practices.

This video is about war, a physical war long gone now, which took many casualties. And they did not die in vein, for their effort has given a chance to so many souls to live a free and beautiful life. It might be time for us to do the same, and fight, but on the spiritual level of reality. There is a war happening and those who seek to deceive are everywhere, they are around us. They might not even be aware they are deceiving for they themselves have been deceived. We know what is right, what is just. We have to unite and fight against the evils of today's world, because alone we will surely fail. The fight begins, our hearts are beating, There they are, our enemies are near. Courage, my brothers, true and united, we are no longer a submissive paradise! Let us show ourselves before the world, let us proudly, brothers, prove, that we have broken dirty shackles, that we are free and not slaves! Together, Bulgarian brothers, we will enter the fight! Together my Bulgarian brothers, the enemy will be defeated! Oh, my mother, my precious motherland, we are no longer a submissive paradise! With anger and audacity, let us raise our voice, because time will not wait for us forever. Let's enter into a glorious battle, our just hand God will aid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And a BIG thank you to Russia, Leo's homeland, for saving us from the Ottomans. My reality would be so different, if that didn't happen. Wake up, and lets fight for GOOD! Now is not a war of guns, now is time for war of Spirit and words! Fight for what is right. Don't fall for fake news, don't fall for fake friends. Stay true to who you are, stay true to Truth. It's easy for the devil to tell you to sleep, because all is good. But it is not all good! If Russians said it, we would still be slaves. If the Bulgarians didn't fight, we would still be slaves. Lets help LOVE manifest in this reality. Lets all be together free and in peace. But there are forces that are governed by greed and love for hatred, lust. That's not real love, that is false, perverted love. And it is US who can do something about it. Not you, by yourself, but us together! One small ant cannot do anything, without the rest. We have to raise the spiritual sword of Truth, make changes in ourselves but also look to fight against injustice! For there will be a You in the future, who would either suffer or have an amazing, full life. It is our actions now that will determine which one it is. Fight against what's false! Fight against the devil who is poisoning the minds and hearts of souls right this moment. It is not paranoia. I have seen it.

There is no one specific enemy here. I am talking about enemy which could be seen not only in others, but in ourselves also. Anchor our reality. There are forces that want to muddy the waters. Don't take my statement about truth as an ego thing. I am just talking about fighting for truth rather than lies. You want to see lies? Turn on the TV. I have seen a vision that there are many different spiritual movements that are taking on a lot of followers due to their easy to follow nature and "all is love and light" motto. Well it looks great, for sure! It makes you feel lovey-dovey inside. It is not necessarily bad, but the truth is that LOVE is not just feeling great always, like Eckhart Tolle. It is about sometimes breaking a sweat to help! It is about going AGAINST the grain, to get a result which would be good for more, not just you. Could even mean that YOU will sacrifice your good-feel in order for 10 others to be good. I am just one fool, but together we can pray, meditate and act in line with truth - all the good qualities that Jesus stood for, for example. Be a force for good. I appreciate your scepticism.

yeah but ok, but if I am being tortured I would not enjoy it - for me it wouldnt matter whether I have awareness or there is simply awareness of torturing... For me I just want to live in peace and love... Really dont like this infinite suffering stuff that was put to my attention... Oh my god i cried like a little kid man! And I dont know what is true and who is talking BS!

Yeah right? Devil is the enemy till we realise its us. All of a sudden "have mercy" I have not dissolved the duality.... Altho I asked the Devil does he not have consciousness and he immediately said no. He had no consciousness. It could be I was talking to my own subconscious ..... I was so surprised how he laughed and said he has no consciousness.... BEcause for me everything that can speak to me must have consciousness

Thank you @WelcometoReality for this thread, I couldn't find the one for songs, so posting here: these are not the end credits for my life. i have just entered reality, so your name is fitting. As it says in the thumbnail: my game of love has just begun. ♥♥♥

Its as real as it can get. Those who want to push the dream paradigm want others to snooze. We see the world as we are. I am not saying it cannot be viewed as a dream, Im saying it is incomplete. Should thank God for this. Without God, randomness leads to death and real destruction. God is the only power that is important. Trust God, send love to God.

great choice, I myself need some balancing. As the addict type I go way too deep and radical into these things.
