Forgiveness is in the deepest form actually a karma dissolving and thus highly energetic releasing process. If done properly it can dissolve lots of subject/object garbage. True Morality is not just a mere choice. It's true integrity which can only be the result of surrender and oneness. Or else it will just be protocol. Protocol can always be updated to a newer and higher version ofcourse.

Hate of others = Self-hatred (with a capital S). It's hating a part of existence/being (which is a part of you). Self-Hatred is one of the last egoic obstacles one needs to transcend and integrate. Non-duality and personal development are also camouflages for the parts of us that hate others/ourselves/existence. Especially at the deepest level you realize that hating others is equal to hating yourself.

There is Awareness of Void. There is Awareness of No-Self. There is Awareness of Non-Being.

Yet there seems to be a sandwich and a cup of coffee. Both with their own specific qualities. They don't taste the same. One is liquid, other is solid. All within consciousness sure. With the No-Self and all that. And I know that a sandwich, a cup of coffee, liquid and solid are labels trust me. I know it. At the end of the day we don't eat our coffee or drink our sandwich. The happening is intelligence in action. And intelligence is not "something" that is seperate from "everything". It is differentiating itself (language implies causality). Formlesness and Form need eachother to transcend eachother. Edit: stuff not being important is always a half truth. It lacks love/being Vegan. Formlesness is not merely an escape for Form.

Being is love. Release every aspect of yourself you're holding back into Being as a loving surrender. And indeed we are here to honour every damn nasty emotion that comes up. We salute it as the perfection that it is and stop lying to it by distancing from it (like owning the emotions, "my" emotions)

An energetic transmission actually only occurs when the ego gets out of the way. The transmitters can't take credits for anything. A normal speech would be like "Tony" having a "burning candle" and lighting up "your candle" as your candle would continue the burning itself. Which is illusory and incomplete. An energetic transmission is a recognition by your candle that it has been burning all along. The less resistance to it, the stronger the transmission becomes. It works on a different level than intellect. A transmission is a direct way of decontracting your ego structure. Edit: people like Papaji and Gangaji for example. They have a Shakti that can burn up lotsa karma and ego structures into No-thingness. I can only watch 1 vid a day of these guys, more would be too much. The less ego the more energy you will transmit as being anchored in Presence. Thank you too man.

That's a lot of assumptions my friend. This is by no means meant to be a linear chronological developmental map for people to be attached to. He actually does speak about liberation. But the ghost town of No-Self ain't it. It is enlightenment, but not liberation. People like Tony Parsons actually don't seem self-realized to me. Energetically they don't transmit a thing. Much love. @Inliytened1 Thanks my man

@VeganAwake Here are some passages from Ramaji's book '1000' Since this non-doership is such a big change, and there is no experience of a seperate self anymore, it is easy to understand how this stage might be thought of as the ultimate stage. But it is not. There may be an enjoyable "glow" phase after this awakening. It may last for a few months. It may last for years. This new sage can protest vehemently that there is nobody here, there is only no-self, I don't exist - but it just doesn't ring true. Who exactly is it who is asserting that they don't exist? It smells a little fishy. It's not wrong exactly, but it isn't right, either. The situation is a bit like being hungry and going to a restaurant that serves, as its specialty, non-food. Can you eat non-food? Can you eat a non-apple? You can talk about a non-apple all day, but you cannot eat a non-apple ever. To make sense of what a non-apple is, you need to know what an apple is. Being an advocate of non-violence makes sense because you know what violence is. No-Self NEEDS a Self. There is an attachment to No-Self and Non-doing. Therefore there is a problem with self and doing. Many who arrive at this stage spend the rest of their lives there. They believe this non-doing "no self" or "life without a self" is IT. Ramaji speaks of a negation rather than a transcendence. A complete self-realized person abides in the Absolute, in the Self, all concepts, all notions of other and all ideas of world are annihilated. The No-Self person has not annihilated this as he needs the Self tot separate itself from.

Yes of course, but you misunderstand what I'm saying. For things to matter is not an individual decision. It's beingness. Mattering/not-mattering is all there is/not-is. Your statements benefit the people who have kinda progressed on this path. But can be very dangerous to the young folk who can misinterpret it. What we're discussing here falls into the dualistic problem within language. So why not choose the words carefully and be more nuanced? What you're saying is true. No-thing does matter infinitely.

THIS

Lmfao Which story? Is there a story? Is there a me? Is there a you? (must resist....can't....resist...L-M-A-O). You should know there is a certain responsibility when advocating "nothing matters", especially when there are a lot of young members here getting lost in endless psychological loops. Stuff matters infinitely. It just doesn't need us do the mattering. And it kinda does.

Reality = mattering or matterness (lmao) = it matters as an intrinsic process to itself which is No-Self (that doesn't mean it's no one) So Everything DOES matter. Just for No-One. No One can only exist because of matterness. LMAO. In a way this is also wrong, because this implies causality. They are actually both the same and ain't. Duality is actually where the illusion is created that things really can't matter, because of seperation of existence. On a deep level the ego thrives on fighting against meaninglessness, so it needs things to not matter for its own hidden agenda (which eventually matters, so it can't lie its own way out of it lmao). To conclude: No-thing Matters means No-thingness' essence is matterness. And things can only matter because there is No One, because Reality is REAL. Meaninglesness is an illusion that the ego needs for his own agenda, so it can fight against it. Ego's fight is against meaninglessness to give meaning as a way of overcoming the illusory fight. So the way the ego 'gives meaning' is inherently flawed as it always assumes there is a separation/meaninglesness, not knowing that everything is mattering for its own as its own. Edit: even this flawed process matters lmao.

Whether you're a hardcore psychonaut Whether you're a shaktipat fanboy Whether you scream that there is no one to learn from this Whether you're a Love advocate Reality seems to get more splintered. Everyone has a claim on Truth. Fuck Truth for a second. How about being vulnerable. How about telling us about YOUR PERSONAL TRUTH. I'm in huge pain right now from all this chaos in me (and the world). And i really need to respect that wounded side of mine. Whatever advice you give to other people, please set aside your personal agenda for a second. You're not here to sell anything. Acknowledge your own pain first and be honest and open-minded when giving advice. And maybe look out for eachothers well being. How do you feel?

One tip I really want to give you is that surrender is certainly NOT a psychological rejection. That is creating more stories and can become quite troublesome. It's rather awareness of focused attention and then releasing this through a relaxing intention. Key point to realize is that awareness is always here and comes before your doing/actions. Letting go is eventually quite a physical undertaking. The focused attention is mostly somewhere around the headspace (as your imaginary ego supposedly should reside there). Through relaxing the physical attention into the open awareness that is always here and has nothing to do with your doing/actions, you learn to coincide with the consciousness rather than get lost into infinite psychological loops. The Heart of Centering prayer - Cynthia Bourgeault (book) explains this very neatly. She also has this vid that could ignite some curiousity. Wish you the best.

How beautiful is the privilege to like and dislike stuff? Especially when we allow it to happen Freedom is one step closer

So many people brother, so many people experience this. I feel that grounding myself helps a lot. There was some knee-jerk reaction in me that said: i feel this suffering, so this must be ego. So i must do this and that to plot my way out of this confusion and feeling. We need to stop this over-analyzing and just be with our feelings and confusion like a warm blanket. Wish you the best.

I love you too. The girls thing really cracked me up hahaha. They see your light. As do I. Namaste brother

This old man is good. Relaxing stuff. Lotsa soul.

You got this bruv. I feel exactly the same <3. This is like a huge collective purge.

Very recognizable my Friend. As a kid we've always felt pain. We never really learned how to deal with it all. If this mass confusion is good for something, it's for realizing we're in this together. There's a lot of beauty in it, but we can only realize it if we stop hiding. This thirst for more more more has become a spiritual thirst for a lot of people. I'm not talking about sincere desires of course.

Thank you man. This helps me surrender too. Thanks for taking your time. This chaos affects so many people. I've been living like a monk the past 2 years. Now that everything is restricted things are really really challenging. I realize that my time as a "monk" was all to realize that we're in this together. Spirituality is nothing for me without other human/living beings. I just want to share my vulnerability and love with others. I'm done with this competition mind set where I live in my own bubble to outgrow everyone.

Yes man. It seems like we have made human suffering and ego our number 1 enemy. There are members who are repeating stuff like some robots running on protocol. I feel a general lack of vulnerability. And of course there are members who are very very loving. Isn't that the purpose of a community as a whole. To offer support? To acknowledge eachother? It seems like we're hiding behind other people's suffering by giving advice and justify our own self-sabotage. A lot of assumptions from me I know. This tendency to forget our humanity is incredibly toxic.

Hahaha i know. What does that say about this community as a whole? Not looking for problems, but for some sincerety.

I'm with you brothers @Prevailer @Beginner Mind Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for being a human being.
