    Letting go of Visual Thoughts

    in The Path

    I just realized today that a lot of the discordant thoughts I experience are visual and not verbal. I used to feel really frustrated because I hear about letting go of thoughts and I would assume a lot of the discord was from verbal thoughts but it's actually from thought images. 

     

    Just sharing this for anyone that can benefit from this. 

     

    Maybe take a second to recognize the mental images that are coming up and not just the mental words, like what are you "seeing" with your minds eye?

    What is visual thoughts?

    Yes indeed, this is already always perfect.

     

    Another thought just popped aware:  On the human level, it matters not whether one is dying or one is being born, one is always HOME

     

    Coming and Going, Appearing and Disappearing  are Identical.

     

    So even when one is dying, one is not losing anything, or going anywhere, one is always at home.

    Same goes for when one is living, one is not gaining anything by coming into existence, one is always at home.

    As both living and dying HERE are the exact same place HOME

    What is birth or death?

    Could it be that the separate self is the assumption that you can know what you are?

     

    Can only be attachment with the thoughts. You are already what you are and no one is here nor ever exist.

    It's so funny, I've been walking in nature for the last 40 mins with all these problems coming up in mind yet the birds still chirp and the leaves still sway in the wind, like no one gives a fuck. 

     

    The birds and flowers and trees and people don't care, the clouds don't care, the universe doesn't care about my personal problems. 

     

    And then I realize I Am the whole wave of not caring 😬🤯

    Everything happens within not outside of you. You think birds and sounds are out side of you, because you think. Meanwhile everything is within. If you don't think, nothing never happens. 

    Pointing to the Self

     (Self) can point anywhere and everywhere, except to itself.  

    To assume there is a (Self) that can be pointed AT , always is the assumption that BOTH 'the pointer' and 'the pointed upon' are two things. This apparent 'separation' is illusory. It's not real. But it's the only way the Self knows how to make sense of what is ultimately always this Nondual Self.

     

     

     

    Pointer and the point is identical.

    True vs False Spirituality

    Spirituality.

     

    We've all wanted to believe in God, from our very beginings.  But we may have fallen into atheism, or perhaps we became agnostic.  This is becuase we didn't want to actually believe there was a God.   Why?  Because God wouldn't show itself to us, so therefore, it was much easier to believe that God didn't exist.

     

    But now, what if -  what if you could realize that there was a Truth that almost no one knows about?

     

    What if there was a Truth, that, if you actually spent time investigating, you would actually find?

     

    Could there even be a Truth to find?

     

    What coulld this lead to?  This so called Truth?  

     

    Now, on the other hand, what if you just ingested a whole bunch of teachings about spirituality and God from your past, and then you put it all together?  Would that be spirituality?  So you were indoctrined into Spirutality from birth - born into religion.  Would this be the answer or is there something more?


     

    You are already what you are and already enlightened. However, the only difference is you think, which mean is you are just lost in the thought process. That's all.

    A random thought appeared to me today, about myself, and who this self is exactly.

     

    As I continued to think about myself as being a 'something', namely, a human self. I then continued to think more about how this human self never chose to be born. Although I cannot deny my existence, I never actually chose to be the someone I identify with as being this human separate entity.

     

    And yet, it appears I who did not choose to be born, was then able to choose to give birth to another being, who will be born having the exact same realisation that I did that it never chose to be born.

     

    It seems every human being who never chose to be  born seems to be under the illusion that they can then choose to birth another being into existence. 

     

    So who exactly is choosing to be born when the being who did not choose  to be born, somehow was then able to choose to give birth to another being who itself is not choosing to be born  just like the mother did not choose to be born either. 

     

    This shows  to me, that any choosing or choice to be born is just an illusion, it's the absolute proof the illusion of choice is a fact that can be known upon reflection, or contemplation into the inquiry of who I am, or who is actually being born.

     

    Upon this self realisation it is recognised that there simply is no chooser choosing to be born. And yet, birth does happen, but there is no one who is actually being born because there is never any awareness of one's self being born, nor is there any awareness of there being a choice to be made to be born for the born being, and every one who is born has been born this way. So the idea that we choose to bring more life into the world can't be real.

     

    This realisation to me could be what enlightenment means.

     

    Sorry if this has been clumsily explained.

     

    What are your thoughts about this ?

     

     

    Chooser is an illusion as birth. The idea of world is not even real. How do you know you are in the world or breathing? Because you learn from so called human beings?

    Lemon Tek I think. Smashing the dried shrooms into tiny bits and mixing them into a glass of fresh lemon juice. Then you wait some time and drink it.

     

    The acidity of the lemon breaks down the active molecules, which would otherwise happen in the stomach acids if the shrooms were eaten raw. By doing with lemon first, the effects of the shrooms appear more swiftly, are a bit more intense and wear off faster.

     

    I actually eat the shrooms and drink fresh lemon juice. Sorry, English is my second language.

    Enlightenment is good but we still come back to live out this world.   Do it either with a smile or not.

    You are right. But, only we can do is help, appreciate and love, which is inevitable. If god doesn't love, who does 🙂
