@EmptyVase You’ll love it.

@allislove Allislove indeed. ?? @Natasha ??

@allislove Experience is unconditional, unbound, limitless. ? Lovely song about this... He’s shooting no one. ?

@EmptyVase For sure, then by all means, seek outside yourself until your ego is content. I mean this sincerely. It’s not like you’re goin anywhere, or there’s anything else more worthwhile for you to experience. The pointing was more toward not suppressing, not avoiding suffering, not believing the thought there is something else to find, not believing consciousness can arise from outside of yourself. A consideration one can instead eat that suffering for breakfast every day, thriving on it. It is literally the infinite intelligence, right under the noses so to speak. Like the danger & halfassedness, and the ‘you are already it’ ness, that’s deflection & projection. Eat it. Tastes like delusion, yet disappears in you like it was illusionary from the very first thought, like a mustard seed. Plant what you want in the soil of no mind, across the board, every aspect of your life, and it will indeed be so, but that’s just me, not tryin to be preachy on ya. @mandyjw That’s really beautiful. I wish every bit of that for you. ??

@mandyjw Uh, okey dokey I guess.

@Kundalini Cataclysm If there is thinking, concepts, beliefs, or interpretations what is sought is outside yourself, or beyond yourself, as you are right now, such as a state which is attainable, achievable, somewhere or something a you gets, something or somewhere a you accesses, has access to, gains access to, is difficult, or is something or somewhere someone else can get to, obtain access to or have, that ain’t it. If this is ‘disturbing’ or ‘triggering’ to read, go directly inward to that. See why, and what that is. ‘It’ works exactly like that. ? (of course, lol, right?)

@Arcangelo It’s about 6 & 1/2 months too long.

Ridiculous.

@tatsumaru Never mind.

@Mafortu This is just out of curiosity...are ‘you’ still believing in a past, death, separate selves / ego’s?

Start with the low hanging fruit. Get the assumptions out of the way.

Right on. Went with the book analogy since there aren’t really “thoughts”.

The knower never sees the dream, through what the knower knows, common is the sense unseen, yet just before the nose. From that which claims begins and ends; a middleman exposed, the failures, strifes, and Voldemort’s; were better left untold. In gridlocks of the webs my weaves; creators sit so still, resolve it seems, springs not of thee; if neither did this chill. ‘What can’t be claimed need not be tamed’, is such a bitter pill, the knower has such foolness; yet emptied, love would fill. Of days of credit running low; grow piles of what to do, of praise & blame create your game, not for who; for you. In dirt without condition, your seed will grow so true, fear not of conjecture; oops, I meant you-know-who.

The “future”, which is said to be when the mind is fit, and without fear, and when opportunity is - is a lie, now. Not a dishonest lie, a conditioned lie. The conditioning is the believing of these very thoughts, about a “future”. To escape one’s own thought attachment, to escape one’s own judgment of consciousness, is to escape the unconditional love which is ever present & abundant, now. There is a dog by the dumpster which eats what is thrown at him, but the human can choose what to throw. Nothing is veiled by “it”.

Who has arrived in this land of confusion? By what line did he come, and by what was forged before him, by who? There is the land of ease, of non-effort, of attraction.

Judging & evading are the endless paths of those who find fault in their creation. You create your reality without exception. It is as you say, middlemen or otherwise.

Nonduality is only surfaces, and not even. Each one is experiencing more of what each one focuses on. Comparison thinking can be a real joy (and friendships & relationships) zapper.

Pure, empty, highest, infinite, God, lowest...are thoughts, which are ( are “made of” ) consciousness. Thoughts are like words in a book, one is free to believe & enjoy the story, and one is free to recognize the story of thoughts also. Up to each one. ‘Your own free will’, ‘done’, etc, are thoughts, which actually are consciousness, and like the book analogy, one can believe and enjoy the story, or notice it’s a story. It’s really not a problem for Ben in either case (that I know of, so to speak).

@Bogdan If you search the forum, there’s a recent thread about this & a video where Rupert explains this as well, more clearly & more nuanced.

@Mjolnir It’s been this simple all along. Let me know if you have any questions. If you choose to stop pretending you experience a past or future it gets immediately clear as well.

@Nemo28 You’re at code zen slap brother. I’ll happily take a few bullets from ya. ?ZEN SLAP? Witness! Rather than asking other people. Obviously. ?ZEN SLAP? Inspect (read the link) and respond rather than reacting (to the comment without having read the link). Obviously. As in let these things be obvious. Have a laugh, or a dozen. Which emotion did you get stuck on? Take big, deep stomach breaths...and straighten up your posture. Your heart sits on your diaphragm which sits on your stomach. Simply by sitting and or standing up straight, breathing from your stomach and relaxing, your heart rate goes down, your mind clears, and focus doubles. Like gd magic. Pineal to follow with momentum.

@AuthenticSelf In kindergarten there was not ego, survival, material world, life purpose, strategic mother fucker’s, your enlightenments, your benefits, jokes unseen, no responsibilities for no movements, no negative reactions, no confirmations - and you were AWAKE! As if samsara & suffering were not warm enough blankets for sleepers...dualities, paradigms of self referential thinking & the weight of the world. Mind as well be an academic.

@nistake https://www.artstation.com/ntsk89 - WOW!

@Nemo28 It was more a comment for potential easily influenced onlookers, you know, our kids etc. You do you.

The birds have the advantage of not being of this world, and thus are not enslaved.
