@DefinitelyNotARobotBeautiful. As I was reading it, especially the part about feel into the understanding, not trying to understand but for understanding's sake, for a split second i felt something; it resonated deeply. Beautifully written. Thank you.

@Princess Arabia Glad that it resonates. Doing this exercise from time to time helps to open up the mind not just in a psychological way, but more importantly on an energetic level. It's like an energetic muscle that you strengthen, allowing you to abide in this space more regularly. That has been my experience at least.

Ok, thank you for this.

I didn't say there is no point to Awakening, I said there's no point of Awakening. What I meant was, from point A to point B. Not as in there's no point, like useless, no I didn't mean that. But I'm still trying to see where, if that is already the case and time is a creation then Awakening is also a creation. I'm just probably over thinking and using my logical mind to try and reason this shit out. And I do understand the difference between intellectually analyzing and becoming or experiencing things for yourself. Which I have. I've seen through some of the stuff I've learnt and have seen how I've created this human character.

Yeah but have you experienced yourself as PURE CREATIVITY? How would you like to know that you created all of your favorite songs? How would you like to experience having the ability right now being the best singer in the world? Or the best dancer? I had an awakening where I was given the ability temporarily to do things talent wise that I did not normally have the ability to do. Just to show me that I was the Creator, and that I was PURE CREATIVITY. It blew my MIND!!!


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

How can you experience yourself. You can only BE yourself.

Being and experience are the same, Being is experience.

time has two aspects and many false theories

 

The first aspect is phenomenal, it is the relation between 1. will and 2. rate of diminution of sense-impression and thought, implying the timeless state of meditation.

The second aspect is physical, it is the relation between matter and matter (time goes faster because of gravity and gravity gets stronger because of the displacement of matter through time)

 

The first aspect is time proper, the second aspect is a projection of our mind upon the world, informed by principles of logic. This second aspect is likely not time at all, and ineffable or indiscernible by our mind. (the duration between the big bang and now is 0, something must be impressed/imposed on for substance to provide a rate of change (diminution).


how much can you bend your mind? and how much do you have to do it to see straight?

It is. Experience is everything. When I was in the void, experience was still there. It just wasn't a human experience. I get tired of yall limited definitions of experience. An empty void is still an experience. You don't need an experiencer, to have experience. Silence is an experience, whether there is an experiencer or not. The Silence realizes it is silence. It is aware that it is silence itself. 

This is why yall get so confused because you don't take responsibility of constructing understanding properly.

@Razard86

If I ask you how "experience" can have a conceptual meaning such that you can denote on valid grounds things through that concept you must say because it is distinct from a non-experience, or that which experiences.

And then you will throw that principle in the bin as soon as something instantiates that which makes that concept even conceivable, a non-experience, by saying that the concept has meaning independent of its condition.

This you do unironically while being yourself already the reason why the concept is conceivable, by being distinct from an experience.

You wish to have the cake and eat it, you want to engage in concepts with your "proper understanding" and then use these concepts without the restriction on which they are contingent. Its like you are Aladdin wanting to fly but refusing to do it with your flying carpet.

Your only counter argument is saying that the meaning of experience and experiences themselves self-distributes in all things, but that is an explanation which is excessive and unfalsifiable, since we can explain what is going on with the relation between the concept of experience and experience itself without the concept of universal self-distribution they are simply over-indulgent or extravagant.

@Razard86 Being is, experience occurs.

Being cannot know that it is, unless it experiences that it IS!!! That is awakening!!! You are only able to recognize the experience, because...you ARE EXPERIENCE!!! YOU ARE IT!!! You are eternal, so what occurs, is ALWAYS occuring. Also everything is made of the same thing!!! It is made of NOTHING!!! When you awaken to everything being NOTHING, then you realize that there is ALWAYS EXPERIENCE!!! Because BEING and EXPERIENCE are the SAME THING!!!

This is the VOID!!! Right now this is the VOID!!! This is why I can tell who is awaken or not because when I entered the void, I realized the flaws in the logic of those who think like you. When you enter the VOID, who you are right now....will still be there. Your ability to think will still be there, because thinking is not some human thing. Your ability to feel emotion will still be there because again emotion is not some human thing. God is a mind that is able to emote, and think. God bestows this ability in a limited capacity to humans. 

All is MIND, the void is a mind that can communicate what it is, and that it is YOU. Everything is a thought in the Universal Mind. It is BEING and it is EXPERIENCE. It experiences itself and does not need a human to experience itself. But....without the human and other creations it cannot have a life of its own to share what it is. So it creates to accomplish that end. Otherwise it is just an empty void, floating NO WHERE.

@Razard86 You're still holding being as an action, not as is. Here, there, when, entering, floating. Whatever you're talking about is relative and a subjective state.

You might have had insight or breakthrough but it always sounds like your mind and intellect are filtering it through their set of beliefs.

I saw that the physical world outside my awareness are thoughts, I saw that the 'hard stuff' right now is inside/is my Head/Mind but I don't understand how the hard stuff are thoughts also. 

Leo said once that the present moment with all the hard stuff is imaginary, but a different kind of imaginary.

What do you mean by 'everything is a thought'?

Close your eyes.....dream a bird flying. Investigate what that bird that is flying in your mind...what is it made of?

Open your eyes, feel your body, notice that the same feeling of being that the bird you imagined in your mind had...is made of the same stuff that your body is. What is that feeling? What was that being that you sensed....what is it made of? If you can crack this question....you will become aware why everything is ONE, there is no separation, and will understand how you are fooling yourself that distinction actually exists. There is no distinction and you are creating distinction through language and meaning. 

Everything is PURE IMAGINATION. Imagination is a thought conjured up within a mind.

You inside your mind now this now everything is you. This forum is your mind talking back to yourself. You don't go anywhere this is heaven now. If you go deep enough everything around you now will fade away and when you become even more conscious you will as well. And if you go even deeper well you will have to find that out for yourselves.9_9

@Razard86 Look around, everywhere around you being just happens, what does being do? It does separation.

Before all your own intentions the world just is, and how do you know? Because being separates itself into experience and experiencer. 

And what can your intentions do? It has no power here, all its power is conditioned on the separation, it can only fool itself into thinking that it could undermine the separation

Time is a mental construct created from something real, change and cycle. Reality is changing and cyclical, and time is the perception, memory and forecast of that change. It is always now, but our mind is able to remember what it was like now when it was different, and predict what it will be like based on the changes stored in memory. This creates a parallel reality that is perceived as a line, and that separates us from the reality that is, which is always now.

@Razard86 The only thing that exists is you.

Reality is not made of nothing it is made of you.

And you will exist no matter if there is being, experience or some other thing,

or if there is no being, experience or some other thing.
