Usually there are biographies of enlightened people. Why do you ask?

😳 That's wild.

It's not an eternal mystery. You can recognize that everything in existence is made out of conciousness and contains certain degree of sentience. That alone debunks solipsisms. Because consciousness recognizes conciousness you can easily know the degree of conciousnesses in any other life form. Ggwp.

I like your confidence. Put some substance behind your claims and we'll see how good that truth of yours is.

I prefer a challenge

@Sugarcoat I don't think your suffering is even related to nonduality. People can have good, gracefilled lives while being still in duality. It's likely something else.

Actually everyone and everything is the second half of you. Love them. Nonduality accomplished 👍

The second half of you is out there somewhere. Then the two will become one. Nonduality, ta da. 💔

Maybe you already passed through it ^_ ^

"Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?" Rumi

It's the ultimate medicine

The personal sense of self is like a condensed, contracted energy. When you laugh, some of this tension gets released. You can't hold seriousness when you're laughing. That's why people love laughter. It feels freeing. It is Freedom itself. You could say God conciousness is very high pitch inaudible laughter that just feels like bliss and freedom. If there's some stuck energy in you then it will come out as tears and laughter, but if you're clean then you'll just smile and praise the Almighty.

I wasn't quoting him. It just happened to coincidence with what I was saying. But you are a fool. You're just not aware of it yet. None of the intelligence comes from you, you really are just a nobody. Wise men understand this, as Jesus puts it: "don't call me good, God alone is good", or "of myself I do nothing, Father through me does all things". Essentially saying he's just a nobody like everyone else. Except He understands it and others don't. That's why he looks wise. The only way you can think you're great is if you have completely missed the big picture. And that's what makes you a fool.

Because the moment you think you're great, you're a fool. Only if you've realized you're a fool, you're intelligent. But then you won't go bragging that you're a fool. This video is perfect for this topic lol.

Like Schrödinger's cat.

There's your problem.

Maybe you are energy. And maybe that energy cannot be destroyed. And maybe that energy is intelligent. Hmm.

You are God. Or let's say conciousness instead to avoid misunderstanding.

Yoo, that was good.

There is no how. It's unfathomable, yet undeniable at the same time. It needs no mental or intellectual conviction. You know it's true via intuition of the heart. It's the intelligence of God recognizing itself. Conciousness recognizing it is concious.

Every time someone laughs they experience a universal self for a moment. Every time someone smiles even. So yea, it's pretty common. It's just a question of intensity and degree. A full brakethrough is significantly more profound but fundamentally the same thing.

A practical list of things you can do to open your heart: 1. Sun salutations (Surya namaskar). A beautiful practice to open the heart. If done daily for about 6 months, the results will definitely be visible. 2. Prayer. That's my number one advice. It's very direct when it comes to heart opening. 3. Dancing. This one can be done by yourself at home. It helps to get out of your head into spontaneity of self expression. To shake off the constipation and rigidness that is blocking your flow and playfulness. Dancing and relationships have many things in common. 4. And lastly meditation. A large part of communication is just expressing what you feel. Or commenting on what you feel. However most people don't have much self-awareness. Usually people don't even know how disconnected they are from their feelings. Especially men. That's a big problem. How are you going to express yourself, when you're not in touch with your feelings? It's like trying to improvize on a guitar while being tone deaf. You'll simply have no ability to translate anything inside to outside. So this one is fundamental. But without opening the heart meditation is insufficient. Opening the heart is even more important in that sense.

You're asking the wrong question. Ask instead how to be easy-going, wholesome and confident. I'll give you a clue. It's about how open your heart is. When the heart is open, playfulness becomes your natural quality. Your ability to connect with people increases dramaticly and communication flows effortlessly without any technique. If you want to master communication, you have to master communion and there's no communion unless your heart is open.
