How does Marvel's Doctor Strange relate to Actualized.org?

[PretentiousHuman]

Time is Illusion.

The"open your eye" movie scene is what every actualized member seeks to experience 

[PretentiousHuman]

@Kensho Thats what i thought too.

hopefully not. if you think you will find your true nature that way... you won't

but sure, it can help shatter your belief that you're a body+mind

 

[PretentiousHuman]

@SoonHei That I am Nothingness?

 

[SoonHei]

@PretentiousHuman yes. sure...

but not "nothingness"

not the concept / label of nothingness...

what do you think of when you say nothingness?

if you are thinking of something (which you likely are) then that isn't it.

just a quick knowing, that what you are cannot be grasped mentally or by any word/label.

the word being used here is nothingness... but it could also have been emptiness... or blankness.... or even, wioefjwioeness

point is. what exactly does knowing i am nothingness do for you?

 

you're simply reading the restaurant menu by saying/knowing i am nothingness

to truly get this, you must order the item from the menu and taste it.

i.e. directly experience yourself

[PretentiousHuman]

@SoonHei Is it also saying, I am the present moment?

[Pouya]

Great stuff. But popular mainstream media is a weird place for non duality

 

[SoonHei]

@PretentiousHuman you are not separate from the present moment

to say, i am the present moment - there are 2 things. you and the present moment. but there is only ONE thing.

 

imagine a cake, where there is writing in frosting which reads, I AM THE CAKE

the frosting/writing and the rest of the cake... IS ONE THING.

 

so yes, with that understanding in mind, you can "say"   I AM THE PRESENT MOMENT

Dr. Strange is a caricature of paranormal powers, astral projection and spiritual development.

Just like the Genie is a caricature of the Law of Attraction.

[PretentiousHuman]

@Pouya I agree. But i also follow Russell Brand, Leo Gura whom i get some of their practices. 

[PretentiousHuman]

@SoonHei Its very simply complicated. Hehe

[PretentiousHuman]

@legendary Do you believe in their paranormal powers? Like when they create figures in the air. Hehe

I've met people who do astral projection, healing, and even have clairvoyance.

No idea about the figures, with which Dr Strange can literally chop people's heads. But I wonder where the comic writers got the inspiration for that from.
