Posted March 11, 2020 @VeganAwake What he is saying is that when people don't have this understanding it SEEMS like things matter. Just like when people don't have this understanding it SEEMS like there is a separate self, there isn't of course but if you ask a normal person, they BELIEVE they have a separate me, even though they are too The Self, they just aren't conscious of it. And, yes, self-realization is like moving to a new city, you still have to learn where everything is and where the best restaurants and everything else is though! I do agree he could've phrased that slightly better though, I felt the video was slightly cut a tad short 'One is always in the absolute state, knowingly or unknowingly for that is all there is.'

Posted March 11, 2020 1 hour ago, SOUL said: This concept of 'nothing matters' is to motivate a release of attachment to 'things'. Yet, that can be without the concept which proves for very many who encounter it to be an obstacle to the cessation of self suffering from the attachment to things, not ironically having attachment to the idea 'nothing matters'. I probably could have just lead with that but I doubt it would have changed much because people really do cling tightly to their ideas. Also, if 'god' is 'unknowable' why do people ascribe meaninglessness to 'god'? Didn't you say it's unknowable? Haha... I likely started a whole new 'thing'. What's being pointed to is whether you are attached or not, whether you are suffering or not, whether or not you lead with the right statement in your post, or weather you have directly experienced you are God, or believe it's unknowable, or think you have started a whole new thing on a thread has no meaning purpose or value whatsoever..."Nothing Matters at all in any way. Even if you deeply believe something with every inch of your being... it does not matter at all and has no meaning purpose or value whatsoever.

Posted March 11, 2020 This relates to nothing mattering. I had some sort of realization of this when i was a teenager. I was in tears of joy and sadness simultaneously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2020 30 minutes ago, Futarino said: @VeganAwake Are you a pure vegan ? If yes how long have you been practicing? It's purely just dietary. We don't eat animal products. Me and my wife and three sons have been eating vegan for around three and a half years. I definitely wouldn't give any lessons on it as we probably still unknowingly buy leather and other animal products unconsciously. Also for example if someone makes a lentil soup or something like that and there is some bacon in it I look at it as the healthiness of the lentils outweigh a few tiny pieces of bacon so I will still eat it and not waste the nutrition.( although I probably still avoid the big chunks of bacon haha) “Everything is honoured, but nothing matters.” — Eckhart Tolle.

Posted March 11, 2020 17 hours ago, Nahm said: @remember The synchronicity of your user name is too much! ? You don’t offend people, you don’t use pictures of yourself to antagonize people, you aren’t making ‘shoot from the hip’ comments and then deleting or hiding them, you don’t single anyone out and make obnoxious videos to send them. Why not? Simply because of how it feels. Simply because of The Truth. No more, no less. But....what if you were in the forgetting stage, and not the re-membered stage? Well then you’d be doing all kinds of stuff that doesn’t feel good to you. But you’d know, by feeling, precisely what you’re doing. You’d be all to aware the other shoe does indeed inevitably fall. Which again, is why you are not doing these things. Still struggling as to why someone else, is? Compassion & understanding a good feeling enough “answer”? I agree. @remember is something special.

Posted March 12, 2020 This is not the highest teaching. Stop spreading misinformation about awakening on this forum. Your awakening is incomplete. "Nothing matters" is an incomplete teaching. If nothing matters, everything matters. You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
