I wouldn't really say love is a feeling, or a state or anything really. it's more who you are.

Thought i'd start a thread on where people share their best enlightenment analogies. Or even if you've come up with your own. Anyway, feel free to share what you have heard or even come up with.
I'll start, a few of my favourite are from Rupert Spira's one on where someone is so immersed within the content of the movie when in fact they forget and overlook there true nature which is actually the screen..
But yeah, feel free to share yours!
Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with

Has anyone ever died? or will anyone ever die ?
There are thoughts about others that have died and people dying but they are just thoughts.. right?

It’s interesting to talk about, but fascinating to directly experience.
What do you mean by this?

I am wondering are chakras even real?
It seems like a lot of conceptualization.. I am confused regarding chakras and different energies. Since chakras have been around for a long time.
They are supposedly centred within the body but it seems like conditioning.
What comes to mind regarding chakras?

Beyond the veil of duality,
Lies a realm of unity,
Where all is one, and one is all,
A state of pure divinity.
In this realm, there is no right or wrong,
No good or bad, no weak or strong,
Just a oneness that pervades it all,
A symphony of life's sweet song.
Non-duality is the truth we seek, The realization of our true mystique,
To see the world with open eyes,
And break free from our ego's disguise.
So let us shed our dualistic views,
And embrace the unity that imbues,
For in the end, we are all one,
A reflection of the same shining sun.

I have never understood the way the term depression is used, long period of sadness or melancholy or lack of interest right? How do you describe it? Even though most people would have called me depressed, the term makes no sense to me, and it seems harmful actually.
Well for me, it was thought loops continually appearing but going unnoticed. What changed things is when I started doing self-esteem stems and gratitude journaling. And of course moving out into my own place.

I wanted to make this thread as I am interested to hear everyones opinions on whether you think we are positively progressing as a human species. Such as being more conscious when it comes to enviromentalism, the health of the planet, jobs etc..
Also a concern is A.I. Who thinks that A.I will eventually end up taking peoples jobs?
I personally think that we are going to be going into very different times within the next 5 years as technology is progressing at an incredibly rapid rate. I hope it is for the good rather than bad.

n is for noun and c is for circa, so 600 years ago the word depression was used as a term is astronomy. Meaning the angle that the star is below the horizon, the star is known to exist but cannot be seen from that perspective.
Thanks for that. Still finding it somewhat confusing though. Exist, where? and from what perspective? How does this relate to depression?
I don't understand what you mean when you say the star is known to exist but cannot be seen from that perspective.
The Horizon is the line where the sky meets space, right?

You don’t know what depression is until you’ve experienced it and come out on the other side.
Yep, that's me alright

The etymology of depression is my favorite ever.
depression (n.)
c. 1400 as a term in astronomy, "angular distance of a star below the horizon," https://www.etymonline.com/word/depression
Hmm I don't really quite understand it. What does (n.) mean?
Also c.? I cannot quite figure the quote out also.
I find a lot of these words hard to comprehend as I have never really heard of them before.

Depression basically means you are in "Deep rest", where as having enough of the character that is being played.
It's a sign from the universe that the character that is being played, is not who you are.

If the destination is peace, can the path be of distress?
If the destination is joy, can the path be of pain?
If the destination is happiness, can the path be of suffering?
If the destination is freedom, can the path be of limits?
If the destination is eternity, can the path be of time?
If the destination is ease, can the path be of effort and hardship?
It can be whatever you want it be

I disagree, you can communicate something without believing it.

I am curious to know what the difference is between pre ego (when a baby is born) and has no sense of individual identity vs enlightenment (when the ego is seen as an illusory self).
Are these two different things?

@Eternal Do you have them over your house? Do you ask them to go places, like a sport game or concert?
My family is out of state and I wish I had my sister to go places with...
Not really, they just always seem to be occupied with their own lives, like I am making all the effort. -
You got this, I believe in you.
Just notice thoughts for what they are, which is essentially nothing. Focus on the good and let go of the bad

I've been having this issue with guys, with girls it's totally fine but it feels kinda fruity with guys. Because now when I look at people I love them so much by just looking at them. It's probably just cultural stuff but it feels kinda weird, sometimes tears are about to come out.
LOVEEEEEE. I feel ya.

Everyone give their best shot of the best kind of immersive game you can play when it comes to realizing no-self. It could be Virtual reality, MMORPG, puzzles, phone game etc..
What kind of game would you introduce to the world to make them aware of who they actually are?
Interested to hear your guy's responses!

What’s the assumption free direct experience?
There is a thought about so and so but it's just a thought. I'm whole and complete. Love is the absence of other's.
Autism & Nonduality?

Curious to hear your thoughts about autism? What is it? how does it occur?
Non duality suggests that we already are one and aren't seperate & people who are autistic generally tend to understand things 'differently' to 'normal' people..
Trouble reading social cues & just different traits in general.. to someone who is not autistic.
I don't much about it so interested to hear peoples thoughts on this subject?
