What Is Reality

Let's start with a very big picture overview of an age-old question, "What is reality?" For thousands of years, mystics have said that there is one energy in the universe, that the universe and everything in it is the play, the dance, the vibration of one energy--that underneath the seeming multipli...

"Are you free from ALL your stories?" "Yes. Except for the ones that I have yet to find out about." "Have you ever experienced total storylessness?" "Yes." "I mean, do you know that the meaning you create in life is just the meaning that you create in life and nothing more?" "Yes." "Do you create th...

Normally when I complain, it is to be right that "something is wrong". It is never with the intention to access possibility. It is to make something or someone wrong. Also, it is most often from the foundation that someone else - not I - is to blame, and that they will do something about it, once my...

dave: Is nobility something worthwhile, something one should aim for and strive for? Is the distinction with vulgarity a meaningful one? To even consider this question is perhaps a move in the direction of nobility, because it is a question one must take on and decide for one's self - it's a questio...

There is a guard -Ego- to look after you. The guard adheres to this formula: to protect you it can not be you. Although your Ego and you are one in the creature you are, oneness is not a useful distinction for a guard to make. A guard needs to keep an eye on its charge. To do that it has to separate...

'I am unenlightened'....

'I can correctly describe enlightenment'....

'My judgements upon who is or isn't enlightened are correct'...

scott, You're either enlightened or not...your Logic is flawed...if you're not enlightened then your comments about it are unenlightened. I'm telling people that probably think they're enlightened or special, that they aren't because they haven't seen through the filtering factor of "me". How would ...

You've got this flawed logic going scott. You say you are unenlightened. You say you know what enlightenment isn't which implies that you know what enlightenment is. Then you run about telling people they are unenlightened. You've pulled this stunt several times on different people. It's kinda like ...

scott:
Knowing yourself isn't enlightenment. I know myself and I'm unenlightened. I see that I latch onto things in order to create meaning, yet this seeing doesn't enlighten me. I understand yet remain deluded.
There's something to think about in that lot.

Think of enlightenment as an Aware Ego...self realised...knowing yourself. You don't lose the feeling of separation but you can as Sapius says: ...'eliminate the 'separation' conceptually, without actually breaking anything up at all... We're all in the same boat...a Collective Ego so to speak... To...
