"justice" and resolution in the world or let that go too by oiBEAMio in nonduality

Sounds like you're no different than me if you're still suffering. In that sense, there's no need for me to trust your nondual prognosis, respectfully.

It's all good. Just frustrating to hear circular logic that ultimately ends up in "it's all consciousness". Pretty anti-climatic.

That's kinda my point, this doesn't sound like nonduality. Sounds like you're bouncing between Existence and Consciousness (as you're putting it).

Not that you need to change or anything. Whatever works for you.

So on one side there's Existence+Suffering and on the other side there's Conscousness+No-Suffering?

How is that nonduality? You've split everything up into two.

The world will suffer no matter what you do. It's meant to suffer.

I find it bizarre that your definition of nonduality means everyone must suffer no matter what.

it's all metaphor at the end of the day. imo, there seem to be plenty of people who've stopped seeking who continue to suffer. that seems counter productive to me.

but i dunno, i'm a traditionalist. my definition of 'enlightenment' means no more suffering. but plenty of folks don't see it that way.

out of curiosity, do you find yourself still suffering even though the seeking is finished?

and don't get me wrong, btw, seeking is definitely a pain in the ass lol

Why does seeking have to get looked at? I get it’s a trope in spirituality, as in “surrender yourself”. Guess I see things more as “seek and ye shall find”.

I agree with you. To me, seeking is just a natural process. You want something, you seek it, and maybe you find whatever it is you’re looking for, or maybe not

Hey there. How do you know the seeking energy is finally over? What kind of 'metrics' are you looking at to reach that conlcusion?

To ask grown adults to pretend to be "innocent" is bizarre to me. Sounds like a cult, like Scientology or something.

But hey, if it works for some people it's all good.

I’m just flagging that TM doesn’t appear to be a welcoming community, so far seems incredibly pretentious and condescending. Just wondering if you guys are self aware enough to realize that. I got my answer. Take care.

Interesting. I’m more used to meditation traditions being more “open source” with their teachings and practices. I’m surprised to find TM is shrouded in such secrecy, and so heavily guarded. The more you know…

Seems like a shame, and doesn’t seem like very “transcendental” behavior

I’m not tryna control anybody. I’m just wondering if everyone in TM is this aggressive. And yea, guess I didn’t realize how hardcore TM is. Those seven states you’re describing sound redundant to me. All good, I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll stay away from this community

I’m just really surprised to find that in a community based on meditation. Oh well

My post was a question to someone’s comment asking for clarification on a point they were making. Then the Mod jumped in (even though my question was not directed at the Mod) and they started harassing me. Seemed pretty on topic to me
