Yes, I see. It can also be seen mental activity & has a hard time, are thoughts, or, are ‘thought activity’, and thus can not have a hard time. In the sense, an individual is still in play, with ‘has a hard time’ being accredited to ‘it’ as if there were a ‘separate self’ ‘there’. If you wrote ‘who are you talking about’ on a piece of paper & watched that first video again, it’s a different experience. Just interesting is all.

No disassociation.

Not in disagreement with anything you’ve shared, nor anything in the video. But who are you talking about? Who are they talking about?

Then what is is what is. It’s the knowing what what is, such as a goal.

If you sort of force it, it’ll work then not then work then not etc. Rollercoaster. If you understand the aversion and see through it, there’ll be no rollercoaster, and your blind spot(s) will no longer be an issue. And I’d be extra careful about any expectations of timelines, and extra noticing of the momentum accumulating. May take a while but the orientation will feel great. Better & better.

@Bernardo Carleial Put another way… describe what autism is… curious as to whatever comes to mind. But describe autism, and not any individual.

What are we theorizing as the all in the ‘all you ever want is love’ inquiry? What’s all, ‘all this stuff’ made of really? Can what is be a your goal?

In addition to seeing past the assumption of separate selves (& therein “science”), it would also need to be recognized that one is already holding a theory of infinity. That there even is such a thing. Like conceptualizing reading glasses vs noticing one is wearing them already. When the actuality of the glasses isn’t lining up with the held theory, the glasses remain unnoticed. The encapsulating is as illusory as the theory that there are theories (and videos as well). @Jakuchu ?

Because the seen & heard is hearsay. One has to see it for oneself so to speak. This could be a video about vanilla ice cream, but if you’ve never tasted it, it’s going to sound quite different. Which is perfection.

Let the belief go. ??

Meditation is unexceptional.

@Ash55 Common sense.

@Danioover9000 Do some research online as to how people’s eyes move and why, in regard to memory, true for them / not true for them, etc, etc. It’ll give ya something practical to watch thus maintaining eye contact, and at the same time you’ll notice the thoughts you ‘leave’ eye contact to focus on, and why.

Very nice. ??

@Bernardo Carleial Just an exploratory question for ya, curious what comes up… how would you describe autism without separate selves?

Make dreamboards.

And just like that, it’s hijacked right out from under your nose.

@Ash55 Tell me how it’s relevant, and I’ll give you the perfect answer.

Enlightenment is now or not at all, and the belief some thing will lead to it or it will somehow come and or be yours or happen to you, is the veil. Meditation.

Empty the cup of vanity & projection. What’s being called x, y & z people is not others at all, and is absolutely non-toxic. ?? Let the fear go. More practically, listen to what they’re saying instead of your thoughts. Self actualization can apparently mean anything.

Other way around. ?

@4201 There’s no one to convince in meditation. There’s no understanding in meditation. There’s no one to convince to meditate. ?

@fopylo Its beautiful.

@4201 So many ideas about meditation. None of which are in meditation. You mentally manhandle and care not about the discord. Right, in any way, of any one, doesn’t equal alignment.

@ValiantSalvatore ??? Using the information to experience what I want to experience is an exhausting mindset of manipulation, vs receiving what you want. Aversion is to seeing that. Aversion is not ‘in you’, but points to what is. The mental gymnastics involved are exhausting. The ‘not fun’ is the conjecture; fun fills all empty cups. There is nothing spontaneous about living in a structure. Also conjecture. The structure is not a structure at all, and only appears so. The ‘substance’ is ineffable spontaneity. But alas a you has it’s purpose, and so this is reasonably justified, or, justified via reasoning. Reasoning which is as apparent as the structure. Three cups, no peanut. Maybe the ladies already got the paradigm you’re sellin. Maybe they’re looking intuitively or otherwise, for spontaneity, and you are scripting from a strategy. I can only speak of direct experience that the entirety of it smells foul for miles and miles and miles. You on the other hand, have a heart of solid gold imo. That’s quite easy to see as well. Objectification’s fine for objects. She is not, and cognitively or otherwise, is well aware she is not. Repudiation is for shame. Imo of course. When I fight, it is I. When I manipulate, it is I.
