The big thing for me is time away from people

What energy do you feel from a thunderstorm, what emotions

There is no experience of separation, only of a belief that there is.

How the belief feels is what suffering is. 

 

It might seem as if what’s necessary to bring an end to suffering is to know or understand that there isn’t separation. 

 

Now there is believed to be this separate thing; knowing.

Now there is believed to be this separate thing; understanding. 

Now there is believed to be a separate self; the one who doesn’t know, the one who doesn’t understand… but could know, could understand. 

 

 

Knowing is the thought; knowing. 

Understanding is the thought; understanding. 

 

Infinite can not know or understand finite, because there is no such thing as separation, knowing or understanding (finite). 

 

The only illusion is that of a separate self which knows or understands, or doesn’t know or understand.  

 

 

‘The Buddha’ means The Enlightened One. Siddhartha didn’t become enlightened. The Enlightened One believed thoughts and mistook itself to be Siddhartha. 

 

“Ain't it hard when you discover that he really wasn't where it's at, after he took from you everything he could steal! - how does it feel!?”

 

 

Heartbreak is difficult and confusing to the core indeed. But don’t let the shadows of your life become the dream, let them break the heart open more. Resent or allow unconditionality; suffer or liberate.

Me? Amazement. Power. Ascention. Comfort.

 

I understand what you mean by emotion, thank you for sharing.

I just wanted to help you get out of your grief about other people.

But I suppose it won't work, because you want it to be true it seems, nothing wrong with that.

No, it helped, thank you.

@Phil what do you do when the one you are not separate from is in hell and you feel with it?

 Feel the discord of twisting & distorting, and refrain from twisting & distorting. When one is in quicksand I can lend a hand, but if I get in the quicksand I’m useless.
