@Aaron p AARON. No duality between insane and sane. What does that mean to you? 

We are ultimately seeing different sides of the same coin I think. 

There are no any sides of the coin. There is no coin. There is only magic.

And two sides of a coin. And one inter-connected side. And two partial sides with an infinite number of partial connections in an infinite number of dimensions. And no sides. And no coin. And magic. And no magic. And partial magic of infinite forms connected to non-magic. . .

Relativity is fun stuff, it’s both ordinary and magical. If there was only magic, there would be no magic. Unless of course we venture into Absolute Magic. . . ?‍♂️ ?

With relativity and nonduality, anything is true if you want it to be. And also false at the same time.

Ahhh, interesting idea. Do you think the “if you want it to be” part is necessary? What if we rephrase it to “if you imagine it to be”?

Good point. Sometimes one imagines things they don't want.

It feels like an interplay between sense, nonsense and post-sense. In this case here and now, flowing and enjoyable. In other cases, this type of thing can feel confusing and unenjoyable.

Yea. ime, images generally arise from wants and not-wants. Underlying desires and fears. In particular, a desire to feel grounded and secure.

Yet sometimes imagination of what “IS” seems free of wants. That seems like a really juicy area of exploration to me.

Wanting is part of imagination, so it is necessary.

Imagination is broader than mere wanting, so it cannot be replaced here.

You can imagine things that you don't want, but you can't want things that you don't imagine.

To want something is to imagine it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

There is no need to feel guilt, as there is nothing that you "should" do in life. Try dropping the idea of having spiritual practices, and instead focus on becoming more conscious throughout your regular everyday life.  In order to become more conscious, a lot of spiritual concepts and beliefs would also have to be dropped.

Over the years, I have seen too many people get caught up in theoretical concepts here - instead of living their life.

@whoareyou lots of wisdom there friend.

You are right you can become more conscious through experience.  That's what happened to me.  No spirituality (or so i thought)

So as the decades moved on and i gained consciousness i stumbled upon Spirituality and the Idealist paradigm.

Within a few weeks of meditation something clicked and enlightenment happened.

It was a piece in the puzzle.

Spirituality is not the only thing that brings consciousness.  Experience brings consciousness.  But transcend to incorporate both...and you will truly be liberated.

Many great people in history were called insane. For being openminded.
