@Winter It's about recognizing the freedom to go in a different direction, and not making oneself into a problem if a tendency is recognized. No one needs or is looking for a justification to suffer in the same ways over and over again, as soon as you realize you're on the same old track the realization that you're really not occurs simultaneously, and you're out.
What "tendencies" is there to recognize anyway? 🙂

Absolutely

Like a sled atop a snow hill, the tendency or momentum of thought is to go down the previously laid tracks.
That thought has a "tendency" 😂
I see how this thought could resonate but can also be justification for going down tracks one would rather avoid. As if there are previously laid tracks "hard to avoid", as if there is "previous".

Nothing is conscious. The notion of existence applies to things but consciousness is nothing and so asking whether it exists is turning it into an object, denaturing it.
You are trying to create a mental framework in which you study consciousness and its properties. But consciousness is not the object in your framework, consciousness is your current experience, it is no-object, no-thing. If you try to study consciousness as a property animals have, you aren't studying THIS consciousness, you are studying some imaginary concept of consciousness you apply to animals.
Whether animals or objects are conscious or whatever that means is irrelevant to your consciousness or actual consciousness. You can only experience consciousness through no-thought.

The spheres aren’t things which have something to do with perception. Perception is a conceptualization of the spheres. There is no actual direct experience of perception being that of objects perceived (by a perceiver).
"of the spheres" is a concept. I'm not sure what this refers to for you.
It's clear to me in absolute presence, in peace there comes no "spheres". It's just this, the way it is. Shapeless, formless yet full of shapes and full of form. It is absolutely nothing yet also absolutely everything. I absolutely do not see what is spherical about it, although perhaps there is something spherical about your current experience right now. Current experience is everything and can also be anything yet it cannot be described as more of a thing than another.1 hour ago, Phil said:It’s two balls, holon(s).
It's actually baloney 😂

Yup that sounds about right. I don't see how this would have anything to do with perception, other than being a specific thing that can be perceived among other things.
Perception is not a ball, perception is no-definition 🙂

The suggestion here is not to apply a concept to perception. The suggestion is to look at the moon.
But ball is a concept. The moon is the moon, the moon is not ball.

“Bhikkhus, the teaching is merely a vehicle to describe the truth. Don’t mistake it for the truth itself. A finger pointing at the moon is not
the moon. The finger is needed to know where to look for the moon, but if you mistake the finger for the moon itself, you will never know
the real moon. The teaching is like a raft that carries you to the other shore. The raft is needed, but the raft is not the other shore. An intelligent person
would not carry the raft around on his head after making it across to the other shore. Bhikkhus, my teaching is the raft which can help you
cross to the other shore beyond birth and death. Use the raft to cross to the other shore, but don’t hang onto it as your property. Do not
become caught in the teaching. You must be able to let it go.”Thich Nhat Hanh, Old Path White Clouds: Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha
In the context of perception being a ball I mean.
No concept applies to perception. Being a ball, having a shape are concepts. They can be part of perception, but never defines it. Perception is as much of a unicorn as it is a ball.

The concept, yes. The ‘moon’, no.
Not seeing what distinction you are making here.
4 hours ago, Mandy said:Spheres are far more pretty that cubes and two balls is way more funny than one. Follow and subscribe for more deep spiritual insights.
Erm "efficient" is the word. No body shaming here, all shapes are valid and beautiful the way they are. But lets be honest, hexagons are the bestagons.

Because one appears as two spheres, wherein two create one. You’ve got a pair, she’s got a pair, the two of you are a pair, etc, etc. All experience must inherently be (seemingly) dualistic. All leads to creating ‘another’ one. And yet there is an exception to every rule as well.
Exactly. That would be ridiculous. That’s not what’s being said though.
Well you said it's a ball. But it's as much of a unicorn than a ball.

There would have to be consciousness and efficiency for consciousness to care or not care about efficiency. Consciousness is perfection, so when consciousness be’s, it be’s of / as the perfection ‘it’ Is.
So ball is perfect but not cube?
Seems more like to me that any shape when giving an "infinite size" is identical to being shapeless and that any concept of shape like "ball" or "sphere" is content and not a property of consciousness or perception.

Infinity refers to infinite being, not “infinite things”.
A sphere is simply more efficient than a cube.
Does consciousness care about efficiency?

What's the difference between an infinite ball and an infinite cube?

.org is a major part of the branding, or he would just use "actualized".
If he had gone for .tv it would be part of the branding too. The goal is you remember how to type the site's URL to get back there. Not really relevant now because of google and stuff, but it's a good business tactic especially if you have a small business with little visibility. You need your audience to remember how to reach out to you.

Might’ve been worth that at one point, but now there’s to much potential for association.
You would have paid the price of a house for a domain name when you can just change the extension to .tv or .org and pay $40 instead?

Try flipping the script.
For fun, let’s say I’m Infinite Love-Happiness, and your task is to influence me such that the Infinite Nondual Love-Happiness I am is obscured.
How would you go about doing that?
What would you convince me of?
I would take a mundane physiological sensation like hunger and pretend its a sign of emotional damage and psychological trauma.

I never said I didn't like you. That's your assumption, because I did my job and enforced the forum guidelines when you would break them.
I know you are trolling right now and hoping I will go off on you, however it's not going to work.
Have a nice day. 😁
He's not trolling. Sincerely consider learning more about the policies and ideas republicans are promoting. The economy is shit right now because there is a war in Ukraine creating shortages in energy in europe and in food across the world.
The economy was good when Hitler was in power too. And oh god he was controversial, lots of action in the news thanks to him! Politics must have been so entertaining with him.3 hours ago, Saylor Twift said:I am too

You could talk with Yourself for eternity about there being no-sufferer, but that ain’t gonna heal trauma. The suffering can easily hide in plain sight, especially with Non-dual teachings. There must be a balance with working with the mind & the Non-Physical Body.
I understand what you are saying, I’m just beginning to see a way of working with Non-duality that isn’t just ‘Straight into the Sun & burn’ , & am trying to share that with everyone here. 🤍 We need both, I want the community to develop a deep understanding of trauma & spirituality at the same time. So the people who come here don’t use Non-dual truth to bypass trauma.
Yeah sounds pretty counter productive to point out beliefs of others as opposed to letting go of one's own beliefs if one believes themselves to have some.

I am not implying that anyone here is conceptualizing themselves as having tendencies to do unwanted things. Simply pointing out the logical conclusion of conceptualizing oneself or thought to have a "tendency" to do anything. If you think "thought" has tendencies, you are studying "thought" and analyzing it as an external thing. You are and control all of thought, it can only have the tendencies you decide to give it.
