On the pitfalls & traps; delusion, materialism, spiritual ego and blasphemy. "Royals" I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address In a torn-up town, no postcode envy But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule Let me live that fantasy My friends and I—we've cracked the code We count our dollars on the train to the party And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this We didn't come from money But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule Let me live that fantasy Ooh ooh oh We're bigger than we ever dreamed And I'm in love with being queen Ooh ooh oh Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen Bee And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule Let me live that fantasy

‘Matter’ is a vibrational appearance of you...you literally matter. Nothing. Still thinkin there’s a ‘you’. What matters ‘you’...some ‘not you’? How are you killing thoughts? That doesn’t make sense. Perhaps there thought attachment at play, such that it is believed labelling creates separate things? All of this believing of thoughts just to maintain the facade of the separate self (suffering).

The dissonance is two. There is no control or not-control, there are the thoughts that there is or isn’t, control. ‘Dichotomy’ is the wool for the eyes to believe the dualistic finite mind. One appears as t?.

A belief is a thought repeated.

If all is imagination, dream stuff, clearly there are no separate individual enlightened ones. The experiential difference between belief & truth, is one is the truth. No separate selves = no deaths of no ones.. And no wheres. And no anothers. And no ‘separate things’ ‘held together’ by some other thing. Look at ‘your hand’ for example. Obviously nothing is holding ‘it’ together. An appearance starts and stops just like a mirage. ?

As above so below. The more you know your true nature, the more you see why everything is exactly as it is.

Listen to the cringe, what is it saying about the thought (the one about comparing yourself to others and deriving the idea that you are less smart). Feeling & intuition might be saying oh hell no bruh. You might be on the right track, and those you’re comparing yourself to might be asleep in a clueless slumber of non-inspection & non-inquiry....but you gotta abide in feeling rather than label it. One’s cringe is another’s infinite intelligence, sensational guidance. “Not smart enough” don’t jive with creating & experiencing what you desire to. You’re total fuckin awesomeness Phyllis. Feel the discord of any doubt with that. Feel the alignment with truth too.

The universe won't protect you. That there is a universe and a you is a priori.

I know right. Feels a little ‘off’. What if ‘dance’ = appearance? If eternal infinite intelligence were appearing as experience, and in appearing, forgets that it is eternal infinite intelligence, there could certainly be the experience of finite thought, and time, and thoughts like permanent, impermanent, real, unreal, void, nothing, etc. Seems like you’re going in the right inquiry direction imo. I’d suggest less argue sentiment, or framing in the approach, and a more self inquiring orientation.

Being ‘seeing’ & ‘hearing’ by being the universe. Is being ‘everything’. Is ‘everything’. Not two, not power over, is being ‘everything’. This isn’t something you could or would do, it’s what you’re already being... which is why you ‘forgot’. Notice there are the thoughts ‘God’ and ‘not God’, but in your direct experience there are not ‘two perception’.

The emotional scale. Awareness of thoughts meditation Write on dreamboard. Explanation is more than ample. Time to do.

Did Jesus talk about willing things into existence, or advanced levels? Might bring about insight into the nature of siddhis, if you’re interested in experiencing the inexplicable ineffable miracles.

Not really, but it’s a perspectival matter of direct experience rather than agreement or disagreement. Nonduality has no balance, middle way, selfless love / selfish love. The fact that pretty much all teachers say this is the case and I’m saying it isn’t, for you, arrives back at it’s direct experience that clarifies. It’s incommunicable, ineffable. Our only pointers are implied duality. One’s clarity of a pointing can be another’s thought attachment, and either can be more convincing than the other. Which is basically the same as saying a belief. Maybe in the philosophical or even physiological sense, balance seems to apply & seems to be relevant. It’s like diet & energy or clarity. There deeply seems to be a relationship but isn’t, similar to the observer ‘problem’ not being a problem at all. That’s like saying the breath of life is a ‘problem’. Not sure I would agree Jesus took a side, but that again is perspectival & direct experience. What is it for there not to actually be “sides”? Which is more what Siddhartha pointed to, as “sides” is only a thought.

You can’t be in nirvana, nor can nirvana be yours in any way. That’s what’s so heavenly.

@Carl-Richard ? It’s kind of a funny thought, all the mattering to billions, and in regard to the entirety of the universe...is exactly the same as ‘to you’. Lol.

For sure, and you as well. I’d say in accordance & alignment with feeling & conscience. Wether it matters & to what degree is always up to you. Another perspective on Jesus and Siddhartha is we know their names because they didn’t choose sides.

If interested, read your original post in the light that time is a thought. Notice duality, or twoness, is of thought. This & that, up & down, left & right, matters & doesn’t matter. Making up meaning as you go. Let thoughts go and there is the ‘answer’.

In believing self referential thinking there seems to be a you, and thus everything is reduced to finite possessions.

Timelessly.

@TheSomeBody 2-3 for the experience, release, insights, etc...4-5 for a breakthrough. Stay outta that 3 - 4 zone. It’s a half way deconstruction, a limbo.

@Emerald So well said.

Slow down and feel for a better feeling thought. Takes practice. Use the emotional scale. Wether you “engage” in emotion or not you are experiencing emotion. What’s in question is are you suppressing, expressing, and understanding. Yes it is. Until it is realized you’re creating the emotions you’re experiencing, which those around you in your childhood and upbringing probably were not aware of. “Negative feelings” is judging how you feel. Read & use the emotional scale to understand how to raise your vibration. Wouldn’t want to miss out on the sensational guidance of infinite intelligence in your life, by labelling it “negative feelings”. YouTube it and listen to some videos...but generally speaking, it’s thinking about yourself and missing you are the awareness prior to the thoughts, and the thoughts are not about you. Examples.....“a more "conscious/high level being" and I believe that at this level”...”the image of myself”... "your ego is controlling you"... In this regard it’s the same... just without thoughts about oneself, a past, a future, or separation. Another way to say that is 99% less thought activity, and no ownership of the thoughts or mind. Aka being. It’s an alternative to fragmentation. When you notice thoughts about yourself, you can laugh recognizing you are yourself...aware of the thoughts. Maybe you actually prefer seriousness, up to you & feeling really, but try to be serious & sincere at the same time, and seriousness loses ground quickly. Ultimately, all there is is this cosmic joke, and to laugh, love, and celebrate. By what you want, what I mean, is what you want. Might be material ‘stuff’, relationship, work, career, life purpose, travel, a new hobby - literally anything you want. Write what you want on the board. Take credit for the “thinking” or don’t. Either way it’s just another thought. No. Thought ‘arises’, or ‘appears & disappears’. Whatever comes to mind that you want to do, be, create, have, experience - just write it on the board. The doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on thinking here is more suppressing. Express what you want, on your board. Thinking is not something ‘you’ are ‘doing’, that’s just a thought. Begin to notice “my anxiety” is the same. It’s taking credit for thoughts basically. If you’re the awareness of the thoughts, prior to the thoughts....who is this “other one” (fragmenting) which is taking credit for ‘doing’ the ‘thinking’? Nor would you want it to if you think about it. Play that out for just five minutes. Realities perfect exactly how it is. Allow it to be simple. Write what you want on the board. When the board is getting filled up...if you’re inclined...ask more questions then.

‘You’ got it... though I’d tweak, that the idea of themself wasn’t let go, which is to say, the vantage point wasn’t prior enough to the thought attachment. Story wise, I was around 35 ish. Resonance is far more relevant imo than age, since age is a thought, but resonance with thought is felt. The story to be unwound is only ever happening now.

@Najim By alive, I mean I’m ‘in’ my creation, ‘living a lifetime’, which is an appearance within me. Life & death are not indicative of an individual, but are an assumption in thought, based on the apparent individuation, through the lens, or experience. My option on near death experiences is that they should have went further to see what they really are, and what experience really ‘is’... such that ‘they’ did not have a near death ‘experience’. Re-membering could be said to be shocking indeed, yet, absolutely mundane.

Wake up, splash cold water on the face, walk outside no matter the weather and announce I am alive & not taking this awakening for granted. The rest just seems to happen. If there is anything less than awesomeness, one of these meditations addresses it naturally & change the state of mind. If there is any hesitation in expressing & releasing anything, the emotional scale. If there is any apparent lack of creative juice, one of these unclogs it.
