When I saw the title I just had to give it a watch. It's amazing. Wow!

Seems to me you wouldnt watch anything, except a 5meo toad, because it can get you "there". Where that is I dont know

you dislike math? It's fascinating

This thread has it's 2nd birthday today. What a coincidence I decided to look at the date posted, then looked at today's date and was stunned ? I didn't even know today's date, because I'm always in the now ? My contemplation to mark the special occasion : All things are a limited copies of the true self, which is infinite in every direction and way possible. (which explains the diversity and complexity of Life and inanimate objects.) Love and peace! Happy Birthday thread ?

The other day I met this woman in the park who had a direct experience of merging with a light being / becoming a light being through chakra meditation and said everything at that moment was absolutely perfect and she knew everything was ok. Now that's a direct experience I would like to have

I was staring at one yesterday and told my friend on the bench that I like to hug them I was contemplating how different it is to look at a tree directly and not through a phone screen

oh I seee, Blackmail... Black... Must be from Africa! That's racist

Smiling is one of the simplest things, which can be the hardest if you are going through some tough times. Finding your smile even in your toughest hour is one of the best ways to transmute suffering into happiness. Ground yourself in your smile Smile like the Mona Lisa.

im just a simple sacred geometry

With the help of close friends and relatives, I am avoiding the streets for now. I would not have even internet now without "external" help. Still behind on some payments, but will catch up eventually

I always see it as a subtle smile, which some people won't even notice, but she is smiling on the inside and out.

There is no I in Awareness

The last episode was absolutely amazing, my second favourite after the Mountain and the Viper where Oberyn dies because of his huge ego ?. It absolutely shocked me. This last episode I actually noticed the exact scene you mentioned as profound, as in the face of death, Jamie and Cersei died completely embracing the present moment looking into each other's eyes, knowing there is no way out. Especially Jamie who was fataly wounded anyway Insane episode, and would you look at that dragon queen ego!! Someone should tell her fear is an illusion.

Leo is soul lover 2020 and egoless. The question is, why is Leo kicking himself

? don't hurt me

Being is effortless. You don't have to do something particular in order to be. It is all already done. In that case Being is not even a doing, as the name already suggests. All the doing on top of being which is not considered effortless by the being, is Ego , because being cannot consider something as effortless or not, it simply is. So who is that which considers something to not be effortless? It must be the Ego! Am I onto something here

To say the opposite, I would have to somehow be actively doing in order to keep the millions of processes in the body going to keep it alive. I am not doing such a thing. I can even sleep and those processes continue, the only possibility is that I am not doing being. If you see me say the opposite, then my account is hacked!

This is an illusion. Being is right there waiting at any moment for anyone. Because there is only one moment, being cannot be anywhere else, ever. It can only be here now, because that's what it IS.

No silver cord that i can recall

well one time long ago, I was doing some self inquiry and at some point I started going outside of my body through the head. It was like I was looking from a birds eye view and the thing that came out of the body looked like what people refer to as soul. Perhaps it's that. @Eric Tarpall maybe you can aid me to go out of body again? Thanks

Je suis, I am. Are you not? You are also the "I am" which Jesus referred to. Also I am that I am. That's his main teaching. Before Abraham was, I am. He was talking about awareness. Before soul-lover (your relative identity) was, I am (your ultimate identity), before Dodo was, I am. We could also say that the I am in all of us is Jesus aka Je suis aka "I am" .

We often hear some teachers say that you can't do anything to awaken/reach enlightenment, so the best thing to do is to give up searching for it. Another set of teacher says that we need to meditate for at least an hour each day until the rest of our lives in order to awaken. Can both these sets of teachers be telling the truth? It seems kind of contradictory, but when I looked deeper, is meditation really a doing? It's the opposite of doing, meditation is all about being, about surrendering to what is. It is the ultimate giving up. So perhaps these two teachings are not that contradictory after all. What do you think?

Well how unenlightened would it be to claim he is enlightened If he is enlightened he wouldn't be egoically claiming to be what we all already are lol. It's pointless! It's good to stay humble
