You're contradicting Leo. Yes, You are IT this moment and every moment - there is only this moment. Yet the mind is contracted within a human story of life, reality and it’s self that occurs within a construct of time. The ego doesn’t want to surrender that story and narrative. Awakening can only occur Now since there is only Now. Yet when a mind is contracted within a human story of self, the subjective experience is that it is a process that occurs over time because it’s existence is within a timeline. It boils down to the ego wanting to remain in a contracted state for it’s own sense of survival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2019 @Leo Gura You tell us that we should read a lot of books and develop a well-rounded theoretical foundation, but some of us are just not conceptual. I for instance, have bought many of your recommended books, but finished none. And then I realised, I’m just not interested in ‘understanding’ the world. I have no motivation or curiosity or interest in reading a book, nonetheless understanding relative reality. I highly doubt that makes me ‘below turquoise’. "Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What separates a piece of a painting from the painting itself. When you speak of a chair you don't exclude anything from it. Its the seat, the backrest, and legs. That is the chair in entirety. Its what makes it complete. And you can infinitely subdivide that chair into the pieces and the smallest bits of the material, but it needs all of that to be whole. A 'thing' can be subdivided infinitely. You can then go more whole. Chair -> House -> Land -> Planet -> Space -> Universe -> Reality etc And what is going to be at the top of this? God.

Posted May 23, 2019 @cetus56 I'm not sure about this. @Serotoninluv I see. Yet, I don't see how this is the absolute truth, it could be all a video game, I could be just a creation that is separate from the creator. And don't rationalise the answer, God can create separate entities, why do you think It can't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't rationalise the answer, God can create separate entities, why do you think It can't? You are creating the separation. Sit in stillness and observe your mind create the separation. You are not going to figure it out intellectually, you’ve got to observe it in your direct experience. When that completely dissolves, you will have the direct experience of everything/nothing and know. Yet there are various degrees of dissolution. Once “me” is transcended, the question will lose all relevance and disappear (because the question is only relevant to the person). You will see how you created your self at this transcended, expanded consciousness. Yet the ego will resist going there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
