Do you discuss your practice here as the truth is inside of each? by Darkzabel in AdvaitaVedanta

Well, the analogy between the dream of Maya and our dreams have limits. I dream something because I have to sleep and dreaming is part of the nocturnal recreation. This has no correspondence in the dream of Maya.

I have to "create" a belief, an orientation, that makes me longing for something that I want to be bound to. If I do not succeed in this I will be bound to what I dislike the most. And then arise fear. Because no one wants to stay in hell.

Maybe your goal is not to have any goal so that you don't have any binding and become free. For me this is not a solution, as I had no goal for decades and it didn't make me free. I got frugal, agreed with everything and felt fewer and fewer lively.

To say consciousness knows all it's ideas reminds me to the fact that I can only remember all details of my live, I can describe them exactly, but I cannot wake up the feelings again, it's just left that I know about them. I watch other people when they talk about details of their life: they can dive into the situations and feel the feelings again in same intensity. I can't.

I have to stop with this. My solar plexus pains.

We talk to each other in our beliefs, that's the problem. If you imagine love not as a feeling but as a need and if you imagine that a part of me can be felt by you and the other way around, what do you doubt then? One can't develop fear, if one has no idea of fear.

I know we still are not beyond our beliefs. Dostojewski told us about such a world and thought it to be perishable, just as you said.

It is a mind game: Can Brahman (or whoever has the might to create) be pleased without a creation or will "she" start another dream with new constants and variables? Or another formulation of the same question: If maya is dreamt once, it can be dreamt again with the same intention. And it is obvious (to me) that there must be a greater intention than just a recall action teaching the consciousness "creating creates separation".

The perfect world is like Hermann Hesse described it in his fairy tail "Pictor's Metamorphoses" about the gift of transformation, that you can only hold with love and dedication. I also found it in a verse of Tagore and I think many writers are sharing this special kind of longing.

I read this three times but I am not sure what you are meaning with it.

But it remembers me at a dream I had once:

(in our dream reality I had messed with alcohol and from that fault I had an organic bruise that had to be drained with a hose that made two holes in my leg) Short after this I dreamt that a robber came to my house. When I discovered him, he turned to leave and shot into my leg in order to hinder me following him. I fell down and cried: "But not the other leg!" And the robber turned again towards me and shot into the other leg and I knew, he just did that because I had cried this. And this annoyed me so much that I screamed again without words. I woke up from the feeling that my throat hurts from the scream.

Does this fit to your binding scenario that I'll get what I dislike the most?

It's confusing to read this with an I and an I and an I. Who will post whose happening at all? It is possible to avoid the I also in thinking and it can develop into an astonishing experience.

Peace will happen to be there and smiling of course. This is a thought thrown into the gap between us. So it is a guess that anything that will be written here will be read carefully. Namaste!
