Lack of profoundity of spiritual people

[Rilles]

Consciousness boring? Hah.

[Nos7algiK]

If you wish to find spiritual profoundness, then be an expression of said profoundness yourself. You attract what you project. You reflect what you lack. But, it's far more simple to stop looking and stop being "something" than it is to look for or be a "thing". Radical paradigm shifts also occur when one is willing and open to receive new information without judgement and also willing to let go of the current identity paradigm which is directly threatening to the ego.

[Moksha]

Conceptual profundity is self-contradictory. There is no truth in concepts (including this one).

Spiritual profundity is directly experienced, and difficult to describe with words.

In other words, don't try discovering profundity outside of your own direct experience.

If God is not profound I don't know what else can be? 

Infinite Intelligence.

Remember in school when the teacher explained something, or you read it in a book, then you had to explain it in your own words.  Yes there is a bit of group speak here - as anywhere else - but I reckon most folks here are aware of the need to get there ourselves, that's the whole point.

Also don't forget that there are only so many ways to arrange words in a finite sentence

So many flower-power memes on this forum.

I'm exploring this forum in search of profound knowledge, but 99% of the posts are just an endless repetition of the mantra "consciousness is all there is", which is kinda obvious and boring. Why do spiritual people don't have anything else to say ? Like for example some profound things ?

Are you even directly conscious of what 'consciousness is all there is' is referring to? The fact that you say its 'obvious and boring' says to me that you are not. What could possibly be more profound than the absolute nature of reality?

Enlighten me, you master! What does it refer to ?

[Gesundheit]

Profundity is a state of consciousness. If you're at that frequency, the sight of a dumb rock would floor you to the ground. But unless you're there, you're not going to see profundity in anything, no matter what it is.

P.S. It's not a better state per se. I like to think of it as a more of a gullible/naive state.

Love. Absolute Nature of Reality / Reality itself.

The absolute nature of reality of course! But there is a distinct difference between all of these concepts that we are using and the actual direct consciousness of it. The actuality of it is more profound and wonderful than you can possibly conceive of.

Woaaa!

@Cosmin_Visan Out of curiosity what are you trying to get out of being on this forum? 

If you want a better understanding of Non-Duality why don't you just read the books of modern and ancient sages?

You are in the wrong place.

@LfcCharlie4 too lazy for that, possibly?

[Shunyata]

And what did you expect to see here? Not many random people on the forum are spiritual gurus.  Have you looked up some teachers/gurus? 

[LfcCharlie4]

This forum is to literally discuss teachings & help people with problems in all domains of life. 

If you want to understand Non-Duality here's some books / teachers to study- 

Rupert Spira- Transpraency Of Things 

Francis Lucille- The Perfume Of Silence 

Eckhart Tolle- The Power Of Now (Beginner Friendly as well, as very mainstream book) 

Adyashanti- True Meditation 

Ananda Devi- Intimacy With The Infinite 

Robert Wolfe- 

No Mind No Problem & 1000 - Ramaji 

You also have the greats like Ramana, Nisgardatta etc but translated works can be hard to interpret, especially for someone new to this work! 

ANd any books by- Byron Katie, Alan Watts, Osho etc 

My favorite is Ananda's as it not just explains & articulates the teaching so well, but reads like a novel, detailing her destructive enlightenment story, that goes far beyond the simplicity you currently associate with spirituality, and yes, I am biased as she is my teacher. 

 

Why not read a few books, then email these teachers your concerns as they are the 'experts' in this domain? 

Most people here are still seekers.
