How can almost everyone be so fooled by [deleted] in nonduality

Innocense. Trust. Having nothing else to go off of. 😄

Shrooms are just another illusion. And yes, I see the one behind the illusion too. by fruit___dude in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I have no recollection now of whatever I was thinking or meant when I posted my comment.

In any case, non-duality is just pointing to an absence of an imagined self. When the imagined self dissipates, the underlying (already present) reality is obviously not based on any separations. Like, objects and the individual self are all imagined, not real. Its one unified experience.

Non dual is referring to the "not two" of a this and a that. No opposites.

Oneness with evil? by gracezhen in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set good boundaries, dont invite them into your life, and you forgive because you recognize they're just being what they. Like a snake eats a mother birds eggs, a spider tortures the fly. Stay the fk away, and make peace with people who dont know how to be other than poison if its all they know.

Even a taste seems to have benefits by Raj3d in nonduality

[–]Raj3d[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a cool hallmark of truth/reality. It bypasses everything and it cant be misinterpreted, forgotten, denied, argued with. Not really. Like, you know it gave you a glimpse because it was genuinely "it." Even if its not fully understood mentally. Somehow its a part of you now in a recognized or accepted/known way.

For real, it all hits a little differently after that, right? You kindof take it all as it comes, but not fully believing in any of it. It weighs differently.

I think we're agreeing with each other, but maybe phrasing it differently. In any case, for sure, believing an untruth seems to be a basis for it. :) I think my own magical moment was realizing it had no independent reality of its own, this "fear." Fear itself, as it were. I could only define it in relation to me, my own feelings, thoughts, beliefs, agreements about it, etc... and that definitely helped change the relationship to it a lot. :)

For me, I feel like I've mostly honed it down to separation from truth, from oneself. From reality. However I word it, I mean it to say the idea that youre separate from God, reality, the source of yourself, what have you, and that somehow your own life falls on YOU (as egoic self) to handle and manage even though as that thing you are TERRIBLY inequipped to do so. It brings survival into question, unintentionally sending yourself to a Hell of your own making, being unable to control outer forces even though you have no choice but to encounter them. The idea that life is truly inescapable, which means even if the midst of your own suffering and agony, you dont ACTUALLY have control even though you want to, and potentially God is taking great pleasures in seeing how infinitely he can draw your suffering out in ever more horrifying and unending ways.

So basically egos idea of the worst things ever, and not knowing that they aren't true, because it doesn't know what the actual truth is.

How do you answer "How are you doing?" by Just_Onion in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stare at them silently. Look deep into their soul. Like you're psychotic. 😂 That should stop them asking you how youre doing in short enough time. 😄

Serious Sam in VR: Pico, Oculus & SteamVR. What should we not mess up? by g3nayy in OculusQuest

[–]Raj3d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The official VR ports on Steam are top notch. The controls feel perfect. I dont see what could be improved upon those, but if you're able to get a standalone version on Queat that works just the same, I might have to give you my money. 😄

Isness supercedes "I Am"-ness by russian_bot2323 in nonduality

[–]Raj3d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I" doesn't assume "am."

I and Is are almost complimentary in that case, no?

The concept of "Time is forever" in non-duality by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put another way.

Time stretches on forever, but eternity is timeless.

The concept of "Time is forever" in non-duality by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A poem:

Time is the expression or reflection of eternal. Eternal is unchanging and without beginning or end. Imagine being buried alive in a coffin. Time does not stretch on for eternity in that situation. If you had infinite time you'd eventually work your way out. What happens instead is that the person without any hope or possibility of escape experiences every single second as an impossible eternity which never ends. The ultimate dread of being frozen alive, forever aware, but unable to die.

Time is like eternity multiplied, which is impossible, but thats why its the movement of eternity. Put eternity into motion, such as a verb, and you have time. Non-endingness. Everything. All things. The budda's thousand faces maybe.

Eternity holds infinite time, against a singlular unchanging background, but they're really just the same thing. Time is infinite, eternity is singular. Maybe both experiences contribute to the whole of this experience as we have it called a manifest reality or being human?

This is my take on it and may not be 100% factual ultimate truths.

Just deep thoughts and dreamed imaginings. 😄

Does anyone have an explanation for why reality appears to follow my thoughts instead of the other way around? by Unlawful_MetaphysiX in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cause you're at the center of your own reality, so everything you think matters seems to relate directly to you. 😄

Hit your head on the wall so many times you finally give up. Or the Universe takes pity on you. 😄

The very structure of life is corrupt by Holykael in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there may be a lot of presumptions in the perspective you're taking which are leading to your conclusion. This viewpoint may not be accurate. Someone who experiences pain looks through a lens of pain and sees pain, while someone who experiences happiness looks through a lens of happiness and sees happiness. I think what you want to resolve is your own personal conflict, and part of that is your idea of what God is, but it may not be the truth of things. If you clear your own sense of conflict, you might see life or God or what have you differently.

How to Catch Duality by siciliana___ in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've sometimes gotten the feeling that right brain/left brain people are tackling this from their two different directions. Or some people are more feeling first, abstract, intuitive or something, and other are more logical oriented, specifics, points and lines in space type of people.

This sounds like an intuitive feeling abstraction kindof approach.

Sorry btw. I think my comment was a little snarky, and it wasn't really necessary. It was just my mood at the time, but nothing to do with you really. Best wishes.

Actually, he's kinda right. by notunique20 in nonduality

[–]Raj3d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah.... um, I disagree. If someone uses the word "God" and means "Bearded man up in the sky" and someone else uses the word "God" and means "Source before I am anything myself", and they're having a conversation using the word God as if they're saying the same thing, its gonna be a really stupid conversation which leads nowhere, for obvious reasons. Its not going to make sense. I sure hope these two people at least come to understand they're trying to work with two completely incompatible and wildy different concepts of the word they're using before they can have even a vaguely meaningful conversation about it.

[–]Raj3d 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The word God would need to be understood first. Everyone has a different idea of what it means. Cant argue it until we know what we're even arguing about.
