@Thought Art Beautiful!! Failure is in the eye of the beholder, as no one else is getting stung.

One can not be quitting something enough to be starting something else. One could quit a job with no income in sight, and that likely won’t work out well. One could quit a job for a better job, and there is no more a question of how that works out. What’s the something else? What is wanted? What’s the problem with the something else? What’s a dreamboard have to do with this?

The show wasn’t about value, or you, just as the beauty and inspiration are not properties of the show.

Before it can be projected, value must be believed. Delusion functions via the exact same mechanism.

Irritation or even anger could arise upon witnessing others sharing freely their preferences of sexuality, and a jealousy of that freedom of expression can arise as well. But the emotion of jealousy can even be realized as the arising of expression in and of itself. And so too could arise one’s expression in freedom, and in the allowing of such expression, jealousy, irritation and anger simply can no longer be. What is expressed is shared, and no longer secret, and there can then be no arising of shame. Judgement transmutes, and is recognized rightfully as the common sense; blame transmutes, and is rightfully recognized as appreciation.

@SQAAD Yes but I think is like things to understand, in that they are both thoughts about a thing which is not there, which is another thought without an actuality (there).

Thoughts about yourself are like a nose & friends; you can experience weird, and you can experience thoughts, but you can’t experience weird thoughts about yourself. ‘Three years ago I’, and ‘serious’, are thoughts, which aren’t about you at all.

Emptiness refers to the content in the cup while nothingness refers to the true nature of ‘the cup’. But don’t try to bend the cup, that’s impossible. Simply allow it to empty.

Contemplate no one is missing nothing. Or trip. One in the same.

@Etherial Cat There could certainly be a will, but there doesn’t seem to be an I which does, has, makes, or even knows there is, or what it is. But sometimes there actually does seem to be an I which knows, that there is, this “will”. Not knowing isn’t really the important factor here though, it’s really about me getting all my stuff. Energy and states are so sneaky & confusing!

@Truth Ya man, and if ya look around enough there isn’t even the problem. This just keeps on keepin on. This just keeps bein the answer so to speak. Beautiful really. Perfect. Problemnessless.

It’s the same, just without the ‘tribe’ (alpha / beta), and self referential value / judgmental comparative thinking (delusion). Then it’s as easy as, the same as, anything else experienced, or if you like, ‘you’re doing’. Business as rape and pillage is a very heavy & discordant projection of an ideology comprised of reactive adaptation conducive only to manipulation of people, as compared to doing business with people. That’s just me though, gotta try it for yourself to see.

I would only push back on that point. Imo what you’re describing here isn’t manipulation, but simply being honest, which is already the authenticity in & of itself, and thus even authenticity isn’t a prerequisite. ?

I’m rollin with that new Buddha Will, where first they gotta find me, and then I get all my shit back. You can do it guys! Don’t give it up till you’re absolutely sure it’s me! Nonduality’s so damn funny I can’t even withstand it. Death & loss are obviously thoughts, and of course there is no thought or thought attachment. This is an appearance only ‘within’ the spheres. The humility of the recognition that the mind can not go where it has not been is priceless invaluable and meaningless. It’s all about being in the right state.

@WokeBloke The Enlightened One appears as two.

“Knowing one is alive”, of course death is just Not Knowing. No more, no less. ?

@fopylo Being alone is awesome. Being with people’s awesome. Self referential thinking is suffering.

@opeli Why are you meditating in the first place?

The grounded, strong masculine approach would be to help others with suffering (vs creating suffering). When you do you both experience growth.

Doesn’t matter. See it differently then, since the way you are choosing to see it does not resonate or feel good to you. It’s effortless to change perspectives and feels better. Neurology isn’t legos clicked into place which never change. It’s constant change. Small point though, doesn’t matter. If that doesn’t feel good, and the perspective is ‘now causes a physiological reaction’, change the perspective to a better feeling one. Not that and not something else either. You are making the claim that there is “something which happened years ago”. If there really is that, prove it. Take a picture and post it or pm it to me.

No, perfectly able. It is unseen, how ‘you are holding on’, do to misunderstanding feeling. But it is felt. A thought about you which doesn’t feel good, doesn’t feel good because it isn’t true. It doesn’t matter if that is your thought, or someone else’s which they verbally express to you. Doesn’t feel good. Ain’t true. It is this simple. The regard for this experience as ‘this shit’ is judgement. Looking down on it as if you’re above it. When a thought arises about you judging yourself, it (that thought) doesn’t feel good because it’s (the thought) not true. Why would one hold on to a thought, which isn’t true, and does not feel good? Sort of a trick question. One wouldn’t, one is believing the thought, and then saying “how do I let go and feel great again!?”. “Really shitty” is not an emotion on the scale. That is a thought which seems to be about you. What is said to feel shitty - you are saying - is you! That you feel really shitty. Well no wonder that thought doesn’t feel good, you’re awesome! How’s that thought feel talking about yourself, not good. Is it true, no. ‘Do I have to do something to have an experience, carefree, like these people I see?’ No. You let beliefs go. This is not ‘a doing’. It’s doing’s twin brother you are just now meeting, non-doing. You’ve been doing your whole life Neo. This is non-doing. Doing is the matrix of the mind, the illusion of the separate self, the believing of self referential thoughts. This “matrix of the mind”, is the belief in a thinker of thoughts. Thoughts arise… me, my, mine, I. These thoughts are for communication. In the movie The Matrix, there are Agents. Agents are deplorable, ambitious, greedy, self centered, arrogant, prideful, and unthinkably manipulative control freaks of nature which very literally do not feel. The scum of the earth, to such an extent, they have pulled the wool over everyone’s eye in regard to that there even is an earth. These agents pose as doctors, mayors, leaders, teachers, parents, friends, significant others - could be anyone -and Agents convince you, that you need to know what they know about The Self, in one or a millions ways, but a product is always involved. “What” is a self referential thought. Is this a problem? Well, manipulation IS “I know something you don’t and you need what I know, or, I have something you don’t and you need it”. If you are believing it, you’re being manipulated, via being convinced to believing in need, and thus experiencing that there is a problem, and that there is something or someone you need, so you can feel better. What you’re experiencing is not your fault, yet it is to you to let beliefs, conditioning, go. You are experiencing precisely the damage done by those who manipulate. More poems! More expression! Everyday!!! Not believing thoughts is dispelling beliefs, and it feels good and is naturally clearing of clarity. Burst your bubbles! Keep expressing, that is the way!

Yes. That’s usually pointed to with the phrase, The Truth. Include experience, in anything. Yes. That “I” never happened. Or, happened precisely as experienced, a thought. When you are conscious of dreams there’s no you and dreams. Perfect. ??

What Will Be. ? We can talk about what will be! And…it… will.
