Don't just do something, stand there!

Ah, the projections thing is so this forum. I've had a lot of conversations here with this one ??

Hey, what video is this from? Lol lol lol

lol, lets note this is from "The Good Place" for those who haven't watched

The other day as I was falling asleep, suddenly I started seeing very clearly one old guy that I used to see walking on the streets. The guy never talks and always walks about asking people for cigarette. He hugged me one time when I gave him. He looks like he has learning disability and can't talk. So I hadn't seen him in a long time, but after I had these visions of him, out of the blue, the next day as I was going home from the park, guess what! I saw him, walking around, asking people for cigarettes. He looked at me, and usually he comes to ask me, but this time he walked away. As if... He knew something? I'm spooked! But in a happy way

Today I had some funny experience again from Today. Its really windy over here in London. I went outside in the morning and saw this yellow plastic ball exactly as I went outside the shop, it went right in front of my feet as I exited the shop so I kicked it around a bit, but at one point the wind took it away... So I continued on my way, I went to have a walk in the park, came back and on my way home, through another street, I see the same ball. It was tossed by the wind here there and everywhere, and it came again to me. I had to pick it up and bring it home. I wonder what it means if anything.

yes being fearless is stupid. Having the fear and the courage to overcome it on the other hand is what makes a professional human being (overcome here doesnt mean the fear goes away, but you are OK with the fear being there and it does not affect you) Dodo birds were fearless.

@StarStruck I think everyone on this forum would agree that "being" is the truth with no opposite. However, Being while you have your nips twisted in a purple nurple and Being next to a river meditating have some difference in quality Everyone should fear torture.

**How can we describe consciousness** Perhaps a better question is: *What is consciousness* or *What am I* I see many people/thinkers/philosophers who try to describe consciousness, with means that don't stem from a direct investigation of consciousness, but from mind and what the Ego thinks consciousness is. Those are doomed to be theoretical and full of errors, since the mind is not infinite enough to grasp something that is not an object of experience. To really know the answer all you have to do is turn attention away from all objects of experience and notice the empty field of awareness / consciousness which allows all experience to be known here and now. It's rather practical and everyone can do this. Requires no beliefs, interpretations or guessing. You have a front row seat when it comes to being able to investigate consciousness, because you *are* consciousness in your deepest essence. Putting it on a paper will be harder than realizing what it is. I guess to answer the question, in written form, I would have to try my best to describe in words that in which the words themselves (and everything else which exists) appear: (attempt) Consciousness is an ever present, effortlessly self-aware field of being, with no form, no size, no qualities whatsoever - in order to allow all qualities to exist within it. Just like a screen needs to be transparent in order to allow all varieties of colors and forms to be shown within it. **It is not an object of experience, it is that which allows objects of experience to be known.** I see people trying to approach to answer the question by viewing consciousness as just another object, like Mind or Body. But if we look at our experience, consciousness is not perceived as you perceive thoughts, images, perceptions and other objects of experience. *Consciousness is not something which can be seen, smelled, touched, thought, derived etc.*, but you can verify that it is there by asking yourself the question *"Am I conscious?/Am I aware?"*, you cannot know consciousness by any kind of objective qualities, which is where the mind fails and this becomes the "hard problem of consciousness". But it isn't hard at all. It's 0 itself, but 0 and infinity are hard problems for the Mind. When in reality zero is the simplest thing. To know consciousness one has to relax their focus from objects and see what remains. If consciousness is viewed as an object, then the investigation is already poisoned and will not yield the right result.

Yes, an even funnier statement is: " Consciousness does not exist, but everything exists in it."

but the idea here is that you cant find it as you find other things, because it doesn't have objective qualities, not even subtle ones.

@DreamScape in relation to your dad's dream, i had a dream once where the aliens came and picked me to go on their ship and I felt very proud of myself and happy. Then once on the ship I realised I will never see my friends and family again and all my excitement vanished.

@DreamScape I am one of the resident dreamers in this forum, i can say from my experience there can be some rather spookily realistic dreams with Aliens.

@Dobi i am also you, my sister calls me Dobi

What you need is a perscription. Go get a healthy dose of Eckhart Tolle and Rupert Spira, right away. Actually, you cannot overdose on them. Go.

This song is relevant

It really doesn't matter in experience! I had a dream last night that was staggering in that I had an amazing epiphany. I was walking around with friends - one of which was a little depressed and suddenly I get this sense of WOW, isn't it amazing that there is this experience?? I started talking to my friend about how incredible it is that we are alive at that moment and that we are experiencing this, that we are some creatures on some planet doing some stuff - How weird is that!! In that dream there was also an Earth below our feet and we could have talked about whether it is round or flat. In reality it was a dream Earth, made out of mind. There's no point to argue what shape it is, because it is so amazing that there is this experience in the first place !!

The only construction im busy building is the one in your projections kind sir

If its a dream we can do whatever? We can jump from 10th floor? We can kill neighbour? Nah i prefer good dreams, not nightmare. Lets make this a good dream.

There's no free will as there is no doer. There is karma, but it is not happening to anyone, only a dream dudes and dudettes. Most here know this and we free of matrix #freedomfrommatrix #hashtag
