The finite mind can not tolerate hearing of it’s ‘non existence’ and therefore must be right les much is undone in truth. Tethered, ‘it’s’ own lack of backtracking confines it perpetually. ?

@from chaos into self No you have not. ? Awakening is not some passing thought.

Not foolish, just solipsism. Conceptual / theoretical. Not to continue inspection, to settle for solipsism, would be foolish. Yet, also, an ample amount of ignorance can in a way be blissful, such as in denial.

@ajai There is ‘direct’ awareness of thought, perception, and feeling. That’s it. Awareness IS clarity.

Where do you keep this identity you do have? If you’re aware you have it, surely you’re aware of where you keep it. Why are you continuing to believe thoughts to be about identity, while they are for choosing & creating? Are you not already you? There is one apparent finite thought at a time. You couldn’t have made creation more simple & foolproof. You want sincerity, honestly, authenticity, a silky smooth liquid conscience, and that ain’t it.

Right on, there it is, coming up. Let it up & out. Writing about it can really help. You’re convincing yourself feeling can be thought, and that the feelings of others is an actual duality. As in, in your direct experience, you’ve never actually experienced what you just described, only the thought of it. This is also a maneuver of avoidance of ‘one’s own’ feeling. Literally, no one is thinking you’re a ‘crackhead’. This is your thought. It would be quite resistant to think this way about people, and or yourself, and want to help people (as you mentioned) at the same time.

And not even. ☺️ (Which might be the subtle point of the post) Can you focus, ‘choose’ a different thought? Try it with ‘body’.

Utter, literal, self evident, nonsense.

Like a light cast upon a wall, there is no such thing as “depth”. It’s a thought about the light on the wall, but the thought itself is only the light on the wall. You’re already doing what you want to do, and there is nothing to figure out. Thinking about thinking, and thinking about yourself, is often referred to as rumination. This is most often actually avoiding feeling / trying to create a thought story that makes logical sense of how you feel, instead of feeling. You’ve never experienced what other people think. Only what you think they think. This again is a form of ruminating which you can liberate from in recognizing that you are choosing to do it.

@from chaos into self Begin noticing what you are already noticing, but pretending you are not noticing. Feel reactional thinking, without reacting. Feel subtle thoughts of judgement, without judging. Feel thoughts that feel good & inspire - and actually just do that.

It is self evident, there is no ‘subconscious’. SImply notice you never have and never will experience anything which you could say is “not real”, because - experience. Then choose a thought you love. None of this has the first thing to do with existentialism, just focusing on what you like in your life. Just imagine if you were using rainbows & unicorns as your reasons, instead of the ‘subconscious’, the ‘lord’, etc. Let feelings come up and let them out. You’ll enjoy much release and understanding.

@Applegarden ☺️??

@preventingdiabetes Yes, of course. Anytime.

@Applegarden This is an atrocity and it can not stand. Pm me his address and I’ll come straighten him out. Maybe sitting at the other end of your place? Otherwise the foam board is the way to go. I’ve nailed sleeping bags inside out on walls in lieu of foam board and it works great. You could put several layers, and thick blankets would work alright too. Could also use your mattress. Also, be sure to learn some Yngwie Malmsteen, so if he comes over and gives ya any trouble you can just melt his face.

Continuous experience. When you’re saying happiest and most fulfilled, you are referring to feeling. Feeling has never, and will never ‘be’ anywhere. Feeling is not a separate object, an ‘it’, that a you, could ‘get’. In your direct experience, feeling = now, always. Feeling has never been in a past or future. You are looking for what yo in fact can never actually be without. There is absolutely nothing you can do about how you feel. It doesn’t matter what perspectives you choose or what happens in life, it doesn’t matter if you have a life purpose, or pursue or become, enlightened. There is literally nothing you can do about how you feel. If you want to, you can make a dreamboard, discover synchronicity, and nonduality, and also create what you want to experience. But it really doesn’t matter if you do or not.

@preventingdiabetes No. You can can deduce that your experience is one unseparated whole (including the person), and also that that whole of experience is entirely relative to you, awareness, which is not ever relative to any thing or experience...revealing there isn’t anything other than awareness. You can question your direct experience of birth & death, or scrutinize the literal difference between a seed, a tree, and an apple, and see there aren’t any beginnings or endings. You can also of course do practices, attend retreats, takes trips, and have tons of fun across all avenues of life experience. You can explore and experience within yourself without end. You can trip to Pluto and back, and even beyond. This life will be the baseline, or the sufficiently seemingly constant grounding in and of itself, as a backdrop. You’re creating this ‘back drop’ already. The only thing in question is if you are conscious that you are. So I would focus on your life purpose, and I would use a dreamboard.

@preventingdiabetes By how your life is going and or by how you feel.

Imagine an image of a map of your house on the wall, coming from a projector. The map would be of the house, and could be said to be in the house, but also wouldn’t be existing. Light would be existing, looking like a map...and not even. Then what if you create a drawing on that map?

@preventingdiabetes Pretty much. You get to do all of the above, and as you do it’s all more seen as one. You even get to do all the stuff along the way that you haven’t even thought about yet. It’s a no lose situation really.

@Leo Nordin Imo, this is where the Dreamboard comes in. You’ve already done the heavy lifting of experiencing which inherently created preferences. Now continue creating & discovering yourself, by getting it all in front of you and seeing it from a new vantage. Then watch & enjoy it all unfolding.

@allislove ☺️?

man “Well, I came home, like a stone, and I fell heavy into your arms”. I could no longer carry this weight of living without you, and in my surrender, you opened my eyes. source These days of dust, which we have known, will blow away with this new sun. We were never apart, and now we are one in a world made anew. “But I'll kneel down, wait for now”. And I'll kneel down, know my ground. “And I will wait, I will wait for you.“ And I will wait, I will wait for you. man “So break my step, and relent, Well, you forgave and I won't forget.” Break my patterns, and do so in your name & in your nature. It is recognized you are ever-loving, I must let go the past. source Know what we've seen, and (know) him with less, now in some way shake the excess. Know this world as yourself, as I. Know others as yourself, as I. Recognize the suffering & inequality, discard your attachments. “And I will wait, I will wait for you.“ And I will wait, I will wait for you. So says man awakened: “Now I'll be bold, as well as strong, and use my head alongside my heart.” Fearless in spirit, determined in physicality; feeling shall lead, thought shall follow. And so says his source: So tame my flesh, and fix my eyes, a tethered mind freed from the lies. And thus shall you change, as I am liberation. “And I'll kneel down, wait for now”. And I'll kneel down, and know My ground. Raise My hands, paint My spirit gold! Bow My head, keep My heart slow! “Cause I will wait, I will wait for you“. And I will wait, I will wait for you.

An interpretation that came to mind... And I feel that time's a wasted go So where ya going “til tomorrow”? And I see that these are lies to come So would you even care? And I feel it And I feel it The illusion of time, and therefore life & death, is seen through via feeling. To live a life in time void of feeling, is a wasteful go at it. Only in the wandering mind we seem leave this miraculous everpresence and ‘go somewhere in time’, & thus worry for a “tomorrow”. As readily as the truth is seen, so to is that it can not be spoken. Our only option is lies, and indeed they shall continue. But why then, in the recognition of truth - would you even care? (The answer) And I feel it And I feel it Where ya going for tomorrow? Where ya going with the mask I found? And I feel, and I feel When the dogs begin to smell her Will she smell - Alone? And I feel it And I feel it Where is there to go in truth? How can ‘you’ ‘go anywhere’, when ‘you’ are the mask I found in forgetting myself? Deeper yet into feeling, senses are heightened, spiritual sense of ‘smell’ is self recognized & exponentially broadened, the eye is opened, dualistic thinking is transcended - and I can not help but to wonder, will the calling & the light come to her, will she know the truth as well? And what then will I be anymore to her, when she knows the truth? What, where, is my salvation? (The answer) And I feel it And I feel it And I feel, so much depends on the weather So is it raining in your bedroom? And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray Would you even care? And I feel it And she feels it Eyes open in the truth of feeling, it is readily seen choices are largely deterministically sleep; yet ‘where you sleep’ was never as it appeared - we’ve always been in control of the weather, of our ‘inner worlds’ - of ‘your bedroom’, and your bedroom is the world. It was always how you see it, it was always about connection through feeling, not the shifting weather of the world of objects, nor of thought about it. Now I see in truth, why this land of confusion is so... and so does she, and we see the answer, yet the truth of - I am. (The answer) And I feel it And I feel it When the dogs do find her Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow To find it, to find it, to find it When the dogs do find her Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow To find “it” To find “it” To find “it” Truth is fully seen in the nature of forgetting & remembering, the creator & creation are one and I am home - and finally, this place is plush.

You already are. You’re just calling you reality. Proverbially.
