@OBEler This is uncanny. I recall you mentioning this before, and since then I had a session with a female who was also a victim of rape, bullying, and who also lost her groove, her LP mojo, and was years into suffering. She awakened in one session. If she is interested in talking, the link is in all my posts. Respect the inner kyra, and leave it to her (don’t request the session for her, let her decide, and take the action or not). Godspeed, take care of yourself. ?

Not if you wake up. ?

Might have that backwards brutha. The bald dude’s character is written as the very personification of fear. Specifically, nihilism. That is what is portrayed with disillusionment and bitterness. It’s not because of enlightenment. He knows the truth of the matrix “reality”, but does not feel the truth of actual reality. So he misinterprets himself & emotions and mistakenly derives “fear”. He acts from this outlook throughout the movie, undermining, manipulating, and throwing everyone he knows under the bus to get what he wants. His motive, or his method of avoiding inspecting, is inflation of self image. He desires to be “someone important” (and revered) “like an actor”. It is not that he is woke and disappointed, it is that he believes he is woke but isn’t, because he doesn’t inspect the fear. Rather than self reflect, he projects, defending the self image, because he believes that will fill the hole, so to speak. Which there isn’t, but he believes there is, because of the non-inspecting. In this light, it’s possible the dream found to be disturbing, is acting like a tuning fork. In your resonating with that frequency, you can be more aware as to how you are ‘holding a hot coal’. You can sort as you experience perspectives, see what ‘strikes that chord’, and entertain different, better feeling perspectives about that subject matter. Your friends would appreciate this. jk What if your entire non-resonating idea of enlightenment, literally every single thought you’ve had from every single thing you’ve heard and believed, which doesn’t resonate with you, which doesn’t feel good, simply ...isn’t true? Wouldn’t that be a really funny twist?

@aurum Makes much sense, I hadn’t heard of him in the fitness era. That could be a stark change to many. I do believe he’s gone crazy. First time I saw him, I think maybe some ‘dad role’ was kickin in lol. Wasn’t concerned per se, but conservative in well being mindfulness perhaps. Now I believe he’s definitely lost his mind like me, and is truly message oriented and having fun with it. If he is experiencing sex addiction (only have the video to reference) I could see how the yoga could help. Needing sex for happiness, vs sharing his ever present being with others would make sense to me. Who knows though. God’s business. ?

I hear ya. He seems like he’d be fun as hell to hang out with, but I don’t know him at all per se. It was really just the content, or sentiment of intention conveyed in the video that seemed to bring about the realization of a difference in comparison to the day to day of this section. He seemed authentic and carefree to me. Not ripping on the section at all, just adding to it in a way which resounds with me. So I thought I’d post it and share. And now ya got me thinking...... My youngest is nine, and my oldest is twenty six, and I believe I have a lens from that, which leaves me seeing his “shenanigans” differently. I don’t believe he has or is destroying his reputation, I think he has transcended the idea of himself, of his reputation. I have no idea obviously, but I don’t think that’s in his wheelhouse anymore. I don’t believe self image is really on his mind at all. (Just my belief or observation from speculating). I don’t think in the longer term, he is alienating. I think he will be the, or one of, the most successful you-tubers historically, and that it will lead to a much bigger platform. I could see him continuing to bring Nonduality to ground level duality, a fresh & sound approach amongst much bringing duality to nonduality, and regurgitation of nonduality from previous teachers, via books & old videos into youtube as “original”. His orientation strike me as actually original. Wether I agree with him or not on any points, honestly the approach is sort of intoxicating in a refreshing creatorship way, and I’d wager I’m not alone in that. Time will tell of course. He is so young, and it will be fun to see. On the sex & validation, idk man. I think he is in the true nature so to speak, sharing the message, and likes sex, like the rest (or most) of us. On the integration of experiences, your comment brought pause & contemplation (thank you for that sir). It left me open ended. I don’t know how perpetual experience can be fully integrated. And now the word integration has become...like “rooaaadds...rooads....rooooaads...”? Who knows, I may be bamboozling myself. It just resonated with experiences with women, and clicked as to why this subsection typically doesn’t. Not to imply it’s wrong, or that any perspective is right lol. I might just be old af and have no clue what y’all are up to these days. @Recursoinominado Holy shit that cat’s hilarious! ?

Just...if it’s useful...otherwise ignore, or open fire on the messenger. The inhale & intention creating a single thought has already over complicated the truth, long before the vibration of the word. The mind is the on & off switch of it’s own apparent complexity. Nothing is ‘permanent’, as in eternal. Human concept is nothing, the concept of human, is nothing. What is the true thought about awareness, which the awareness thought of, is other than the awareness aware, of the thought? What is a “you” which “has” awareness, which is not a thought, about awareness, which awareness is already aware, of? What can nothing include, what can nothing exclude, as what is, is nothing? How does awareness get awareness while awareness is already the awareness of the thought of what is gained & lost? What does nothing do to accept nothing, while nothing is nothing?

Exactly. It would also not be possible to translate uncountable unseen photons so quickly & efficiently that meaning arising in and of you is being attributed to arising from words on a screen. Not. Possible.

@dalink Focus is working perfectly. You’re focused on that you can’t comprehend, and that something is wrong with you, and experiencing it. You’re looking for others to diagnose, label & support this by joining you in your justification & rationalization, and you will find that too. That is easy, there are billions at the ready. You must understand that you were born into a world of emotional suppression, of war, of the violence of ignoring their own fraudulent focus diagnosis’s. A world of believers, ignoring their own nature, thus veiled to reality, sound asleep and dreaming the story of the “I” in their minds, and of rationalizations to support it. But you are The One, and you are not in a world at all. You can not fall back, but you can believe your thoughts. You can not fail, but you can believe your thoughts. You can not know fear, but you can believe your thoughts. You can not cover up this flow of creation, and you can not be separate of it, but you can believe your thoughts. The sleeper sleeps because it is the lesser of two evils; staying in the story of “I”, vs, feeling. Wakefulness does not know evils.

@SamC Then my ‘tip’ would be to inspect that bondage thoroughly until you are absolutely satisfied with your inspection, and to find the exact distinction which separates experience & life, and to be the vessel of what’s found regardless of what you do.

@roopepa ???

@Jaka Pirs Hanzic Just wiggle your fingers without imagining that you are wiggling your fingers. A magician can not accomplish this.

@allislove

You’re not a Karen, Brenda.

The power of love is a curious thing, make a one man weep, make another man sing. Change a hawk to a little white dove, more than a feeling that's the power of love! Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream, stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream. Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right, power of love will keep you home at night! It don't need money! It don't take fame! Don't need no credit card to ride this train! It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes, but it might just save your life! That's the power of love! That's the power of love! First time you feel it, it might make you sad. Next time you feel it it might make you mad! But you'll be glad baby when you've found - that's the power makes the world go'round! They say that all in love is fair, yeah, but you don't care. But you'll know what to do - when it gets hold of you! And with a little help from above - You feel the power of love! You feel the power of love! Can you feel it? Hmmm

??? @allislove ?? Construct aware = you’re getting the joke, no longer taking “a yourself” seriously (there isn’t a “self”), aka non-body-mind-thought attachment, non-fear-of-“death-thought”. (Total opposite direction! There’s no “construct”!) The “ego” is the “construct”, for as long as you believe & insist you require constriction. Aka, “believing you are thinking”... about “your self”... is the set up. Awareness is the punchline, the release, the relief, the joy, the clarity, the how-could-this-have-been-missed truth...and the burdens of righteousness are surrendered intrinsically (were never held to begin with). ”Understanding is the greatest illusion” - Buddha The motivation of the “ego” will never be the inspiration of God. Thinking will never be feeling. Try try try! Never land will never be “earth”. Fly fly fly! As the angel you are.

@Preety_India ?? You too!

?? Interpretations & identification, self understanding & emotional equanimity, and a calm mind. This is all possible for you. Miracle happens everyday. I was clinically diagnosed maniac depressive about twenty five years ago. Saw a few therapists, tried a few medications. None of it made sense. Meditation, well being, dreamboard, aligning thought with feeling, all make sense. I was full of shit too. I didn’t know heads from tails of any of it either though, and neither did anyone who treated me. Nice folks, just didn’t know they were full of shit.

Appreciate the heck out of the work, every aspect possible, change your entire interpretation in that regard, flip your own script. Discard your entire paradigm because it sucks (in feeling terms), and refresh in the recognition of this, and in starting the mind anew. With each day, put feeling first, and consciously choose perspectives which feel good. You’ll soon have the energy, insights, mindset and ideas, and you’ll change your life naturally. You’ll want different experiences naturally. You’ll feel so good & freed you’ll have twice the energy and half a mind for time at all. It’s incredibly humbling, liberating and empowering when you recognize no one else is suffering. The point of shit when nothing completes is the shit is you, and you are infinite being. The shit is the miracle. That’s where people got that term, “it’s the shit”. (Infinite Awesomeness) They’re talkin bout you. Empty the mind of the orange and capitalism etc views, and it will fill with awesomeness. The point of eating healthy is to realize the value of it, of living. Orange is the inspiration to eat well & take care. Love orange. Choose orange perspectives aligned with feeling, receive orange inspiration. The point of psychedelics is to realize you are “the shit” (as in the infinite shiznit) by flushing the flotsam & jetsam of perspectives which create discord. Sobriety, like clarity, is not at all dogmatic or blue. It is a heroic endeavor, the only ‘real’ path, the true aim, prior to the prism of sd’s. That has nothing to do with it. It is evoking the power of God into your life. Choose sobriety perspectives aligned with feeling, receive Goodness inspiration. Use the emotional scale, it works. Meditation, letting thought activity go & the mind rest, works. For example, when experiencing a mix of boredom, frustration, and pessimism, in bringing the mind to rest, momentum of thought activity is slowed or stopped...and one can recognize one can be and is content with just this moment as it is. Feeling that just-right-now contentment...from there one can consider a hopeful perspective...which feels even better. There is intrinsic hope in feeling contentment with this moment...and the better one feels the more it is realized there is only ever this moment. One which realizes one can always feel their way to contentment with now, realizes it is always now...and one can always feel their way to contentment, and this is very hopeful feeling. From hopefulness...one can consider optimistic expectations much more readily. Momentum builds, effortlessly, and much more passion is felt. New never before experienced perspectives of appreciation explode like fireworks and feel a lot like joy & love, and are very empowering. At this point you literally can’t remembering the ‘old’ perspectives. It works. Reality is an inside out job. Go to the flashlight, let go of all concerning perspectives about the light on the wall. It’ll change. Stop worrying about the whole world. It’s skewing all other perspectives. Give the world views thinking a break for a while and it’ll have an affect on the body mind like a week in nature would. Godspeed. Wishing you the best.

@Carl-Richard “It” isn’t being ‘interpreted’. Can’t interpret a non-happening. “It’s” being expected & anticipated. “It” (infinite) can’t think (finite) itself, so “it” (eternal) can’t imagine death (a finite-not-it), but God knows “it” try’s.

@Intraplanetary Take a deep breath or two and relax. Don’t think relaxation, feel it. Sink into gravity. Feel every inch of your body let go, and sink. Neck loosens, shoulders drop, hands loosen, every muscle lets go, etc. Actual Relaxation. Can you name something else which has the property of being aware? Anything at all?

@Intraplanetary Are you aware? Yes. Or no? Just ‘check a box’, like we did in kindergarten. A simple yes, or no.

@Intraplanetary Are you aware? Yes or no?

https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/ Take a deep breathe and love each other y’all. And review the guidelines.

Not. Two.

@SgtPepper Self-acceptance is a concept. Lack of self-acceptance is another concept. In each case the concept implies two selves. If one is aware of this concept, one is aware of thought attachment . In thought, there seems to be one self which could or couldn’t accept, or is or isn’t accepting, another, second self. These selves are not found in perception or feeling. It’s a good step, yet oriented home, it’s a step of deconstruction (vs adding a concept of myself).
