Life.
Control. Sadness at no control. Anger because of sadness because of no control.
My mother is so accutely controlled. So utterly numbed out. Every action, careful. Avoidance. On her phone all day long.
Me too.
I bought pyjamas for the first time. Self love.
I'm not strong enough to fight the inner parent.
THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES
It's me. It's all me. It's been me all along.
Notes today. Kids woke up.
Unless you have reached Kenshō, beware of the term "reality".
Beware of the term " reached".
Beware of their term "Kenshō".
None of it comes with reading a book.
It must be experienced.
This too is just a story.
You are already there.
Look!
Enlightenment is available to you right now. It's not what you think it is. You should probably look into it. I recommend Angelo, but there are other. He looks pretty normal. He woke up at 24 and spent 15 years just living his life as a doctor before he started teaching. He seems like an ordinary dude. The truth is, he's not there at all.
You know that meme where people are asking desperately for answers to why the world is the way it is, and underneath is written "Bitcoin, you dumb fuck!"
Well... God IS creation. God is not words or concepts. God is the experience of the now. Find now, find god.
I can't say much to that. What I can say for myself is the only way I'll come to knowing is via introspection. Specifically not thoughts, but feelings. I don't need convincing. My mind already rejects what you're saying (I'm a physicist... Bla bla). So it's the heart that has to see it. The truth in the words is not revealed though argument or debate. Words are nothing. Thank you for your words, however. Something in them will get past the mind.
The great thing about divine truth is, it doesn't matter what others are up to.
See? I never read the bible. I was an atheist till July last year. No need to read it now either. I know what's in there.
I feel like one of those scammy TV evangelists: "It has been revealed to me..." :-)
No need to wear a flowing robe and have a long beard or read books or sit this way or that. There is no church or secret knowledge. When in fear, be in fear without resistance. That's it. No seeking for god or truth. Be still, and god will come to you.
He's not wrong. Worked for me. Works for lots of people. No need to wear a flowing robe and have a long beard or read books or sit this way or that. There is no church or secret knowledge. When in fear, be in fear without resistance. That's it. No seeking for god or truth. Be still, and god will come to you.
Exactly. The book is screaming "wake up". There is no religion. There is no secular. There is awake (Jesus, Buddha etc) and there is delusion. I used to call myself an atheist. Turns out, that's a scam too.
One day I woke up and after a few minutes I realised I hadn't had a thought yet. I looked around. Everything was... Different. I didn't know what was happening but everything around me had changed in quality.
It's increadible to realise that even how you see and hear things has a layer of thought on it. When that goes, things get very strange.
Some things became entirely self evident on that day:
1. Enlightenment is real
2. God exists here and now, and its nothing you can imagine (FYI I was an atheist)
3. Religions. All of them. Are a scam. All have the kernel of truth. All obfuscated by misinterpretation of the truth of enlightened experience
4. Words are hilariously poor tools to describe anything
5. Love is all pervasive
6. Nothing is happening
7. You don't exist
8. Life can go on quite easily while being enlightened.
9. More people out there are enlightened than you realise.
10. Depth perception goes away when you're enlightened. But also (and this is nuts) things are closer. Like the world turns UHD
11. This is accessible to everyone at all times
12. You have no idea how much energy you waste keeping up your sense of identity.
Exactly zero of the above requires drugs to experience.
I had ten followers. Now nine. Someone didn't enjoy my last post. I hope they find out why.
I didn't have a concept of what awakening, or liberation is until I admitted a deep, painful paradox to myself. Then, without effort, I woke up one day and had no concept of what I was experiencing. It was as though I was seeing for the first time, hearing sounds. All sensations were new. There are no words for it. It is real. Holy shit it's real. You don't need knowledge or practices or holy men to tell you what it is. It was grace that brought me to it. Know you are eternal. Know that god is real. Know that belief has nothing to do with it. Once the veil drops, the cosmic joke is revealed. Everything you thought, is a scam. Even what you lought love is. Except #bitcoin of course.
Love
Layers and layers of thought. None of it real. Sets and groupings off things. None of them of the other. Not seeing they they are not of the self. Paradox is the end of thought. Intelligence is thought to be the ability to hold the conscious paradoxes in your mind and not go mad. That too is a thought. There is no self. There is no thought.
