    What if I know what life is? 🙂

    Nobody knows . Don't fool yourself. Appreciate the mystery.

    What does the concept of fear of death bring to mind? Is it something you must overcome perhaps? Is it some kind of an ultimate existential pickle? Terror, even? Keeping you awake at night?

     

    Of course I fear death . Its natural

    One of the few thoughts about death that are not totally insane is that there is nothing in death that cannot be in life.

     

    Like for example, happiness, peace, freedom, release, rest, innocence, forgiveness, atonement, redemption. All of these are fully available in life. There is nothing in death that cannot be in life.

     

    This assumes you know what death is ..which is superfluous because you haven't die yet .

    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. 

    😂

    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.

    @Someone hereThe housing market absolutely sucks for buyers, no one can find affordable homes, prices are inflated, a modest house is 350,000. Yet I know someone who just got a great home for $20,000. There are only particular circumstances, never generalizations. What a shame it would be the "buy" a generalization for "everyone" and never see the opportunities there for you. Some of the very best opportunities are exactly where people say there are none because no one is even bothering to see them right in front of their noses. 

     

    Really deserves its own thread though. 

    I'm aware of that . Not a fool to go there with empty wallet.  

    I need to make some money first .

     I know There is no quick and easy way. I must man up and get a better salary job and work my way up. The people  who just want shortcuts or want to chest the system always stay poor and never make it. It’s only a few that actually get away with it and many of those people end up in jail 🤣

    Maybe "What I believe needs to happen for me to be happy in the future"

    That's perfect.  You took it right from my mouth . I do actually invision myself travelling through the US ..but also European cities like London and Paris . 

    There is no question about it that these countries have a better life than third world countries like India.  And in all domains . 

    So yeah I'm bitter and anguished that I'm stuck in a shitty society. I do want to move to a first world country.  And that's definitely can make me happier than I'm right now.  So I don't see anything wrong with your statement.

    An unfettered being. 🙂

    Good’s all there is. 

    If I don’t say “thank you” I don’t seem like a good person. 😂 

    Haha seriously..you showing an inkle of concern about Leo after his betrayal of you which was really sad is a sign of how God like you are . Even when interacting with you on the forum ..you are patient..you try as you can to address al the questions etc..and even when someone shows slight disrespect you warn them gently and I can go on ..

     

  7. Would you rather live In this world with all its ugliness that you at least can know and handle or jump into the unknown by suicide? 

    I was suicidal few years ago ..I can tell ya ...thinking about suicide happens when the person feels that the suffering of this world is even worse than death and worthy of taking the risk of jumping into the unknown.

    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. 

     

     

    A conceptual answer might be more communicative. 

     

    The last couple years have been spent as the hair. If the next couple years are spent as the tortoise, there will be no question as to truth (happiness / satisfaction / mindfulness / presence). 

     

    The hair is fast, thinks fast, conceptualizes quickly & repeatedly and takes pride in that it does, and is therein overconfident, arrogant & self aggrandizing, 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. 

    Brilliant. Thanks 🙏

  9. @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

    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?

    There’s an experience of the belief, but is there an experience of a believer, or is it assumed 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? 

     

    I'm identified as the physical body . 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...

    So  there is an experience of the body . 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 .

    Happiness / satisfaction / presence is you, appearing as these thoughts, about another you, another time… obscuring

    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? 

  11. 1 hour ago, Phil said:

    This stands to clarify seeking, or, the belief that the feeling-better sought could come from someone, something or some future experience… when in fact the greatest-feeling if you will, is what some thoughts obscure & are discordant to

    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...

    That would be on behalf of a self which isn’t present. That’s the answer, not a non-answer. This is apparent. I’m appearing. The sep self that has breakthroughs, awakenings, etc, is actually thoughts. The self of those thoughts isn’t present because it’s illusory, or, of thoughts.

    OK.  Typical Phill response.  🙂

     

    I once awakened in a dream .it was very vivid  I was totally immersed in it ..but I became lucid and I woke up thinking there is no real difference between dreams and reality . Its all a dream. Ta-da !!
