A reinterpretation through a different lens on suffering... Mom’s condition to be happy is her demands being met ...your condition to be happy is mom being happy. What you both want is not to suffer. Though it probably sounds nuts, mom would therefore be happy if she stopped making demands, or if her demands were not met. You would be happy if you met her demands, or if you didn’t believe others need to be happy for you to be happy, or that one creates another’s suffering. Be like water.

Yourself is already full proof. Inspect the beliefs that don’t resonate. Be less conditional, by laughing at yourself instead of defending. It’s very liberating. Might be scary, but then once you do, it’s freeing. Just advice of course, but it seems like you’re asking about what these three females problem was... when you could be asking about why you have a problem with it. Yes, reasons come up, but try to witness them without reacting so you can extract the insights. This brings clarity to deciphering which emotion you’re experiencing, and using the emotional scale from that emotion up, works. If you find it doesn’t work... you can ask for help with that aspect, that’s making progress.

You can inspect what they really are anytime, as lightly or as deeply as you want to. Inspect what ‘these things’ are, then you’ll know what you’re talking about in a more literal sense, and then you can see if there’s still anything to ‘deal with’. There is absolute. It’s all absolutely worthwhile. You’re the hero though, wether you know it or not. It’s up to you. There are also many many things to directly experience... psych’s, reiki, therapies, guidance, meditation, yoga, etc...all available online too. You could try to narrow down what’s going on, and then see where to start. Simple things go a long way, like writing down how you want to feel and think, and doing that when you wake up tomorrow and notice similar or same thought as the day before. In that way, making a dreamboard makes it much easier to focus on what you do what to think & feel.

Not two. Not two. Not two. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

Trying to move from the current perspective about yourself and your life... to another... requires letting the current perspective go. Maybe the “another way” you’re looking for is really just “not more of the same way”. You may have not experienced letting something go yet, so you might also not know yet that the good feeling of the true nature automatically arises, like a cork that was held underwater, and then let go. Notice focus is prior to thought. When you say “I’m not gonna repeat what my problem is”... you’re focused on the “that there is a problem”... and trying to replace that perspective with a solution. The solution is always letting the “problem perspective” go.

@Roy Awesome.

@Hulia Fortunately none of that is in the tree’s nature, which the tree intuits, feels and abides in...is. The tree would then know the dream of trees, from the dream of a tree.

So your definition of “fully conscious” would be sensation always being present...? And whenever you check for it’s presence, it indeed is present...? Maybe you’re assuming there is an I which dictates this..? An I which could be fully conscious, or not fully conscious...? If those aren’t thoughts... what are they? What’s conscious of those thoughts?

@machiavelli Imagine being Disneyland. That is not an experience, it’s what you’re being. Then imagine being a lens (‘person’) so that you can experience Disneyland. Since you’re being Disneyland and the person... you forget the infinitude you really are. Then you believe you are the person, and not the entirety. Which leads to trying to find or figure out the “right beliefs”. It is the adding of beliefs which has already occurred which leads to the thinking “why can’t I the person materialize an object instantly?” Just look around. ‘That’ is ‘this’. You forgot. You will never remember that you did or how you did it, because there is no “it’. It = you already. The ‘matter at hand’ is dropping beliefs, not adding or replacing them. Beliefs are thoughts repeating, ‘seeking’ alignment, or, what is true and actual. When you be-leaving, the true nature, which is you and thus can not be parted with, intuitively is felt as ‘calling “you” back’, or re-memebering. Meditation allows the activity of mind to quiet, which means awareness is not aware of the beliefs. Then ‘proceed’ from there, consciously creating, and consciously loving. The ‘answers’ sought are soon realized not to be ‘answers’ at all. In aligning with what is true and actual, that you are love, and that you are the creator, is the unfolding of real I zation, which is already the case. It gets obvious quick, but not from thinking. Do whatever you like on your path obviously, imo, a dreamboard is the most direct approach. It is in a sense, admittedly, in stark contrast to what I deduce to be the current approach, which is primarily centered around “how” thinking, which is and will always be more thoughts.

@communitybuilder There isn’t a ‘first duality’. First & last are duality (thoughts). Thoughts appear, yes? Duality is an appearance. Inspect for what there is in direct experience, which there is not an opposite of. Then you’ve found a thought, which is dual, but which points to that which is not.

@machiavelli Jesus said “I and the father are one”, but the context of this thread disregards that, and is of Jesus as an “individual” who may or may not have possessed ‘powers’. Connect the dots of ‘ego’ and ‘demonic’ and possession. Think of possession as monkey mind, an impulsive & compulsive obsession with claiming & attributing, to ‘individuals’. It is in that miscontextualizing that the point of walking on water, turning water into wine, and healing miracles is being missed. Think of his point as us, not a me, or a you. Then let the ‘us’ go too. Think of the current state of the world as the current state of your creation which you are being. That is the current ‘state’ of you, not people and a world. Consider when ‘we’ say ‘move mountain’ the mountain indeed will be moved, is about the sharing of the truth, the message, or, the power of all of us, and never ‘one (separate) of us’. It’s not about having super powers or healing powers as an individual. Only then is there the experience of Siddhis. Then they are as ‘normal’ as water, and far more incredible than any literal walking on it. Notice ‘reality is consistent’ is a thought. Also, ‘reality is not consistent’ is a thought. Allow these thoughts to cancel out the meaning of ‘each other’. Then there is ‘reality’. There is not a ‘not reality’, just like there is not a not you, as awareness, or consciousness. There isn’t a ‘not awareness’, nor a ‘not consciousness’. ‘Reality’, as you, appears consistent, but is not bound by consistency, or any other thought label. It is only by thought attachment that there is thought to be a reality and a you, but ‘you and the father are one’. ‘The second coming’ is the realization of that which never left.

‘Time’ and ‘motion’ are thoughts which people gave meaning to describing experience, to communicate about ‘It’, and you learned the words and meanings, and they became beliefs. The belief is that the thoughts label actual individual separate ‘things’. They’re for communication, they don’t literally label anything because ‘thing’ is another belief (in the sense the thought & meaning “thing” = a separation). Then add to that believing of thoughts as labels for individual things... ‘my’, which adds that one is an individual separate ‘thing’. ‘My’ is just another thought. Point to a ‘my’ in seeing, hearing, or feeling and it becomes clearer it’s a thought. Notice there is no actual separation between the space of the room you’re in, the outdoors, and outer space. Look up outside and see there is no actual end. Then consider this space which is without separation in your direct experience, is appearing as all the ‘stuff’...the space is “the stuff”. Then notice “space” is also a thought which is a belief, as a label, for a “separate thing”... as in ‘you’ and also ‘space’. Then notice “I” is a thought, and consider what there is of “you” that is seen and heard is that “space” appearing as that “stuff”, and that there is not anything seen or heard of you which is not seen or heard by you. What you are not aware of is only the thought that there is that which you are not aware of. “This moment” is a thought, which to believe meaning for requires assuming there is a “that moment”, but you never experience a ‘that moment’...which peels away any meaning of the term “this moment”. You experience a ‘now’... but the only experience of a past or future, is of the thought about. So now is not other than the past or future - it’s just other than the thought - ‘now’. Without a past or future there is no meaning for ‘now’... and the present, is really presence. What you are aware of, is not separate from the awareness. Whenever a separation is “found”, notice, it’s another thought arising, being believed. Replace the word / label “space”, with “awareness”. Then notice even the word awareness is a thought, a label, to communicate, as in point to, that which is present, or, that which is presence, or simply - that which Is. The common way is to think more, to ‘figure out’, to conceptualize... another ‘way’ is to peel away, to see through layers by inspecting direct experience.

@Akos Absolutely.

@bunna It’s the belief. You’ve defined your self as not wanting to feel, and you’re believing and feeling the discord, of that belief. The resistance you’re feeling is that the belief is not true. When you hold the belief “feeling will have to be faced”, you hold a belief which is directly in discord with feeling because it simply isn’t true. If you retrace the concept that feeling is anything less than good, you arrive at how someone made you feel. If you continue, clarity shines through revealing how you made you feel. We’re all dumb & innocent, it’s not just you. And we can all feel and focus on better feeling thoughts too, not just you. They, whoever they is, could have, but they didn’t. What say you now ? I am ________. That’s our real super power. Be mindful what you put in that blank. The emotional scale is effective for intimately revealing you can’t skip contentment. Letting go and relaxing isn’t the thought about letting go and relaxing. If you don’t know relaxation, you don’t really notice resistance, even while you feel it.

?? That’s awesome. Indeed, love does not even need a reason.

@Akos Very beautiful. Downright breath taking.

Nondual means not two. A substrate and something else would be two. Meditation.

@CBDinfused Love you! Answering isn’t as fun as drawing out the answer. Just a preference. Deeply practical ‘thing’ I’m pointing to btw. Consider all ideas in regard to what is desired in life experience. Then think of that idea as a seed. Then think of letting it go as planting it, so ‘that which is the universe’ can be it. The idea becomes ‘the hand full of beans’. What you really want is the ‘real thing’, the experiencing of your idea ‘in the flesh’, ‘in the phsyical’. Another potentially helpful way of pointing, is to say focusing on the thoughts and ideas is 50% of experience, very literally letting an idea go, to the point you cannot even remember it, is the other 50%. Perhaps another way of saying it is once you’re aware of the idea all the ‘work’ is done, the universe is already underway being it. Continuing to hold it in thought is to continue thinking a how. If there is a how, this would be most efficient. If there is no how, this is most inefficient, and one would not notice this, unless one let’s go of ideas. Fair warning though, the muggles (holders) will say you’re crazy, and that most of what you say is nonsense...they’ll attribute it to luck & coincidence (causation) by projecting it onto you (duality) but you will ‘look at’ your life, your creation, and smile. Only love could make sense of quantum entanglement, and the ‘gravity’ of ‘it’.

When contemplation is letting all the ideas go, the answer sought can then arise, aka “empty your cup”.

You. Reorienting away from concepts & beliefs, and toward inspecting what is true and actual. That belief. ⬆️ To put concepts before direct experience is to suffer. To see what is true is to liberate of the suffering.

That would be us bruh.

@EmptyVase Genius. Thank you sir.

@EmptyVase Much appreciated! ?? Learning and getting a feel and scope as I go... seems like the way to go is a longer video with an overview, and very short follow ups with ‘bring it home’ or ‘dot connecting’ single points might be most helpful.
