Meditation slows thoughts / thinking down, and the separate self of thoughts is readily noticed.

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true”.
Absolutely dispels the relative, like Kids In The Hall crushing heads. 🙏🏼
Interpretationless perspective. ♥️

So do the emotions such as fear come out of you after a while? How does this occur?
Emotions would’ve had to have gone into you, to come out of you, yes?
Did that occur?
13 hours ago, Bob Seeker said:When will the fear go away, and how? Should I do anything?
Would you want an infallible compass to go away?
What would you do with it?

That's understandable .many Western people seeking modern versions of Hindu traditions (like Vedanta) and seek spirituality are at a vulnerable and low point in their lives.. and scammers(Indian gurus )take advantage of that.
People: The problem is I’m at a low point in my life. It feels terrible.
Guru: It feels terrible because it’s not true.
People: Idiot scammer.
Realty’s so funny.

if I were honest I would maybe say "No, sorry I don't feel like it". I think that would start a fire.
Is your sister the same way? Behaviors and actions dictated by fear?

It's easy to say this when you live in America 😉
Good is nondual. But the knower knows otherwise. The knower even knows about where the knower hasn’t even been.
People go from the US to India spiritually, seeking Happiness.

Yes but I believe I can't acknowledge every emotion and question every thought. If it worked and felt easy to do so I would already do that.
What would you say to someone who said that?
20 minutes ago, noomii said:What do you mean with this?
“How does it serve me” vs “how can I be of service to them”. By ‘filling up’ I mean with love.
22 minutes ago, noomii said:When I said I feel like I can't be honest with my siblings I meant that I feel like I can't express myself fully and that I need to hold back. I didn't mean that I'm lying to them, although that could happen if I felt fear and want to hide something.
I was that child who was "just telling the truth" but that have always started conflicts.
Takes two to tango.
22 minutes ago, noomii said:I'm more transparent with friends.
I didn't mean just a friend, I meant that it seems like there are expectations on me as a sibling, that I should stay in contact with family, whereas with anyone outside the family I think I'm more free to just leave whenever I want.
It can be clarifying to notice you don’t experience anyone else’s thoughts. Otherwise it can seem like the fear is because of what someone else might think about you, and pressure & expectations are coming from your siblings.

It really does take two to tango.

Is misidentification a normal human activity?

An unfettered being. 🙂
Good’s all there is.
If I don’t say “thank you” I don’t seem like a good person. 😂

Oh yeah. Still though, with income being contingent on keeping your life purpose going, it’s highly unlikely it’s anything but a technical issue already being resolved. All the more reason not to fret.

@Phil I'm asking sincerely. i really don't to waste your time ..no need to open endless branches for this discussion ..otherwise it won't go anywhere as always lol
Feel free to explore / answer any of the previous questions asked.
15 minutes ago, Someone here said:I just want to understand something:
Why I believe my current situation in life is not good enough and why l believe if I achieved X ,Y or Z that my life will finally become fulfilling?
I understand that this is a trap and it's never gonna work (hedonic adaption )..but I'm asking why I believe this?
That there is someone believing is a thought. Whatever reasons arise as answers to why, are / will also be thoughts. The answer to why isn’t what’s wanted. Happiness / satisfaction is wanted. Happiness / satisfaction is obscured by its own activity of appearing as thoughts.
The dissonance experienced is that of the beliefs in parts / separation… with wholeness / reality.
A conceptual answer might be more communicative.
The last couple years have been spent as the hair and your life is a reflection of this. If the next couple years are spent as the tortoise, there will be no question as to truth (happiness / satisfaction / mindfulness / presence) and your life will be a reflection of this.
The hair is fast, thinks fast, conceptualizes quickly & repeatedly and takes pride in that it thinks, knows, understands & does, and is therein overconfident, arrogant & self aggrandizing, deluded via mistaken identity, and in this obscuring… falls asleep, never making it to the ‘finish line’ as it were.
The tortoise is slow, consistently meditates, acknowledges & allows emotions, slows down / takes the time to question, makes one small change at a time to diet, and therein the track & finish line are dispelled.

I'm identified as the physical body .
Where is ‘the knower’ that knows there is physical?
Where is the knower which knows it’s identified?
15 minutes ago, Someone here said:Because I'm not awake to dissociate from the body and identify as consciousness which therein appears the body ..the brain ..the gym..the I-thought etc...
Where is the dissociator?
Who or what is separate of consciousness & could or would identify as consciousness?
15 minutes ago, Someone here said:So there is an experience of the body .
Or is there an experience of a presumption?
15 minutes ago, Someone here said:I never cracked my skull and saw my brain 😂..so you are right there is no actual experience of brain or parts of the brain..but that's just for communication purposes..If we pay attention to every single word being said and disect them into thoughts VS. Perception..we really can't talk at all . So I understand your point ..but I hope you as well understand mine .
Where s the knower, that knows the thought experienced ‘brain’, defines perception, defines sensation, defines consciousness?
Where’s the one who isn’t aware, but rather, pays attention?
Where’s the knower which knows there’s a we which are talking?
Where is “the understander”?
How enjoyable, free & flowing, is this experience of conversing without false claims?
15 minutes ago, Someone here said:You are just repeating it .that's what my question was about .you told that guy(or girl) this and I asked you how is that true ? How is it possible?
If there’s a you repeating, what’s being said isn’t allowed. Isn’t allowed to be heard. That ‘not hearing’ is the same. Thoughts arise, are believed, and shared.

Could you expand on this ? Why I believe that some future experience will make me happy and never satisfied with just what's present ?
I know this but i cant apply it in my life .
And yet..while the logical part of my brain knows these things..the emotional part of my brain is still wired in the old ways. When I go gym and lift weights.. it isn't to enjoy the process .. its to get a marvel physique etc...
There’s an experience of the belief, but is there an experience of a believer, or is it presumed you’re the I which believes (does)?
There’s an experience of the thought that there is this which can’t be applied to my life, but is there an experience of an I which knows this, and accordingly with the I, a my life?
There’s an experience of the thought that there is a brain which knows there are things, but is there an experience of a brain which knows there are things?
There’s an experience of perception, sensation, and the thought I go to the gym, I lift weights, but is there an experience of that I which goes & lifts?
Is there any experience of a future, or is there a present experience of thoughts?
Happiness / satisfaction / presence is you, appearing as these thoughts, about another you, another time… obscuring.
