  5. @Orb Money can be like the monster in the closet. The longer one doesn’t look the bigger the monster can seem to be. Then when you take a look it’s like, well, ok. Might be rough, might be relieving, but at least it’s not a monster anymore.
  6. What about noticing thoughts about thoughts? As in, ‘there are a few thoughts I struggle with’… being a thought. ‘Extremely difficult’, ‘identified with’, and ‘scary intrusive thoughts’… also being thoughts. Looking at the emotional scale, which emotion is felt with each of these thoughts: ‘There are a few things I struggle with’. ’Extremely difficult’. ’I am identified with them (thoughts)’ What then is undesirable? What are you sure you don’t want? Awesome, that’s really great to hear! Using the emotional scale is really just a practice. It doesn’t really result in something. The success isn’t per se with the scale, but rather manifests as / in life from using the scale.
  7. @Jonas Long I agree with the gross. Seems like ‘church of Common Sense’ would be a better name. Solid band name at the least.
  8. Ism means theory or doctrine. Satanism would then be the theory or doctrine that there is, Satan. The doctrine that there is Satan is, Christianity. In accordance with Christianity, Satan is a fallen angel. Fallen means subject to sin or depravity. Sin means an immoral act, and depravity means moral corruption. Moral means concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character. The one concerned with principles of right & wrong and good & bad would be the “knower” (who ate from the tree of the knowledge of good & evil), which “knows” that there is - good & evil. This is a (separate) self referential belief loop. A belief loop is two thoughts believed, repeating. “I’m the knower”, and, “there is good & evil”. Belief loops are like airplanes circling an airport. Emotions are like landing trips for beliefs. An emotion felt & acknowledged as how an interpretation feels, is not an action or behavior - it’s an acknowledgement. An emotion felt, yet not unacknowledged as how an interpretations feels, is an action or behavior. Want to change actions & behaviors? Acknowledge emotions. Allow the spiritual & religious planes to land in reality.
  9. Excellent thread. That is exactly it. Love the video as well. Spot on. ♥️
  10. Historically speaking Paul was born just after Jesus and lived at the same time, and was not born decades after the death of Jesus. (Approx. 30’s AD). Paul did not directly murder Christians, but was involved in the persecution & arrest of Christians. (Acts 8:1-3 and Acts 9:1-2). "I die daily" (1 Corinthians 15:31), is a reference to the arising of (separate) self referential thoughts, or, that there was a Saul and or is a Paul. These words / terms are synonyms: God, Love, I am, Christ, Jesus, Lord, Infinite Being, Truth.
  11. There is only an illusion of knowing & understanding for the illusory separate self of thought. The separate self of thought & knowing and understanding is the veiling of the true apparent nature of reality, and the true nature of being. Oneness is ‘all things and or selves are in actuality one’, like panpsychism is ‘there is consciousness in all things’, just as solipsism is ‘all that can be known is my mind’.
  12. It’s a great, great inquiry. It’s entirely possible to see very clearly exactly what autism is, and why autism has arisen to the degree it has. However, it’s not possible to see this clearly without first seeing nonduality clearly. To ‘see nonduality clearly’ simply means, to ‘see’ reality as is - without any beliefs, but it would suffice (inquiry wise) to albeit conceptually, see that nonduality means no second (with respect to autism). Put another way, ‘autism’ is an ism, a theory or belief, and amounts to a label, which believed, prevents seeing what the inquiry is about. What’s actually going on, which leads to the label. So first.. with respect to the inquiry… Nonduality does not mean “we already are one & aren’t separate…. and there are “people” who are “x, y or z”…. for whom there is “understanding” of “things”, and therein “normal people & abnormal people”… who have “trouble reading social cues” and “have different traits… to someone else… who is not autistic”. Nonduality (not, two), means there aren’t people, there isn’t understanding, and there isn’t finite / aren’t things. This could be taken many ways, but is crucial to seeing what autism is clearly. As always, questions & discussion are welcomed.
  13. What are your thoughts on the main staples? Dreamboard. Emotional Scale. Diet & exercise. Daily meditation. Look at the list here… see what you’re experiencing, and notice the emotion.
  14. @Kevin Great to hear! 👊🏼
  15. Being aware that these are thoughts about an intellectual understander and doer truly is ample. Being aware that ‘deeply entrenched habit’ is a thought is ample as well. Let meaning be an altogether different inquiry or endeavor, having nothing to do with acknowledging emotions felt. Being aware of (separate) self referential thoughts is ample as well. But you’re present & aware of thoughts about time and a separate self (of thoughts) in time. Also thoughts. These response could seem sarcastic or dismissive, but this is indeed ‘how’.
  16. Time exists. An ego / separate self exists. Shoulds are a real phenomena, and not just a belief based on the belief there are separate selves.
  17. It’s really about self-realization, the truth and the true nature of awareness. Knowledge is appearance of the world-sphere, experienced as it were via the lens-sphere. If there is knowledge or knowing, then ‘awareness is aware’ is therein knowledge or knowing, as opposed to being (without any facade of knowledge or knowing). As far as inquiring away desires, it’s only the self conceptualization of there being a separate self and it’s desires which ‘goes’, which is to say, it’s only the discord & resistance of the self conceptualization / ignore-ance which ‘goes’, while the actuality of self / reality of course, remains as what is already the case. Preferences still appear as Creator-Creating-Creation, yet aren’t conceptualized as separate finite things or possessions (my, mine). The corresponding ‘stuff & relationships of perception’ so to speak is being attracted already, and un-conceptualizing self is merely an allowing, a ‘not getting in the way’.
  18. That’s what’s let go. 🤍
  19. Rather than actively trying to learn how to not suppress, it's about letting go of the resistance that has already been innocently added. The resistance is essentially conditioning rooted in misidentification. The resistance is of any discordant interpretations, and is to or with the truth or true nature, the reality of yourself. As suppression is happening, acknowledge that it is without judgment or blame. Observe sensation, thoughts, and emotions without trying to change, challenge or resist, and without labeling as good or bad. Mindfulness & presence is key as thought patterns of suppression untangle naturally, and any underlying reasons, justifications or rationalizations are allowed to be ‘seen’ and come up & out. Allowing non-judgmental awareness towards whatever arises, including any tendencies to suppress emotions, allows ‘space’ for patterns to dissipate and is allowing emotional freedom and authenticity. Letting go of resistance and allowing experience to unfold naturally is also incredibly beneficial for attracting & enjoying relationships. By releasing the resistance towards loneliness and the desire to be with someone, you actually open yourself up to the possibility of genuine connection and authentic relationships. Instead of approaching dating with a mindset of desperation, attachment, or any objectification, openness and presence are allowed and do shine through, allowing for more meaningful connections to arise organically. Fully embracing & allowing solitude as an opportunity for self-discovery via un-suppressing is allowing the natural wholeness, fulfillment and confidence you are, inherently enhancing current relationships, and attracting healthier and more fulfilling relationships into your life.
  20. Awareness is itself. I don’t mean knowledge is conditioning or conditioned. More that there is knowledge is a condition.
  21. Knowledge in accordance with the definition, is a condition. Knowledge in accordance with direct experience, is a condition. Conditions.
