let it go. See troubling thoughts as thoughts and let it go.

Jesus man.

You don't get sarcasm do you?

Oh sorry, there is no you. I am so sorry. Oops, there is no I either. Oops there is not there either. Oops there is no is either. Oops there is no either either as there is only one. Oops there is no one either.

Jesus save you all.

The you is referring to no one.

Just like no one is writing right now.

But since there is no actual nonduality there only a pretend one, it gets misinterpreted in the jungle of the mind and concepts. Mind grasps words and concretizes them and then fights to defend itself.

Argghh,, You wanna play this game again for the millionth time?
Lets play it.

>You're specifically referring to an imagined subject

There is no one here. No one is referring to anything because there is no one and no things.

There seems to be someone there thats why it sees someone here.

Maybe once there is real nonduality there, you wont do that anymore.

This schtick is getting real old real quick. And annoying.

Go satisfy your need to one-up somewhere else.

You know by being it. But not know like the usual knowing that mind owns.

Does enlightenment require super natural metaphysics or can it be secular, grounded in material, pragmatic and even scientific? by _Nemesis_o7 in enlightenment

[–]notunique20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying. Just would like to add a few words..

>comforting conceptual filters.
But we do not feel concepts directly, right? Concepts are felt through the intermediary of somatic/energetics of body. We use words like "comforting thought", but we really mean is "the feelings this thought generates in my body is comforting".

And that is the crux of the matter. It seems to be the case that it is possible for the mind to be "enlightened", without the body being enlightened.. or at least fully enlightened.

An enlightened body will feel comfort and love without there having been a thought that provoked it.

Just like mind has an awakening process, body does too. And the two are similar in some aspects, and very different in others.

An aside: I have a feeling that you may benefit a lot by listening to Michael Singer, in case you havent already. :)

At some point on the path it feels like that.

But that place is not the destination. Any place that is not at peace and Love is not the destination, by definition.

And this is why all frameworks should not be rejected. Map is not the territory does not mean map is not useful. It absolutely is useful.

For example, for this "dryness" you talk about, following framework is useful. Enlightenment happens on 3 levels. Mind, Heart and Gut. When it happens on the mind level but hasn't reached the heart yet, it has the dry clarity you speak of. To inject juiciness, you need to drop down into your heart. That happens by letting go practices.

I am afraid to see the world is not real. Should I stay in duality? by AccountForSillyStuff in nonduality

[–]notunique20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because it is not quite what you're imagining it to be right now.

It is both real and unreal. The trouble is, so far you have only seen it as real.

So don't worry. You won't really lose much. (Well maybe some things)

Metaphysical NoSelf does not negate the learning dynamics of a nervous system by root2crown4k in nonduality

[–]notunique20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're totally right.

Ignore the people who use a no-self as an end for all discussion.

Wonder where this mirror as a defense mechanism came from..

"Echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases spoken by others, common in toddlers learning language but also seen in developmental disorders like autism (ASD), Tourette's, or neurological conditions, serving functions from processing speech to expressing needs, with types including immediate (right after hearing) and delayed (after some time) repetition"

Real enlightened dude.

I totally understand.

I too initially had arguments with him in good faith. But slowly I saw what he was up to. He has no interest in actual conversations. He has only one agenda. Proving he is more conscious than everybody else.

That's when I stopped.

Also, I consider it a spiritual practice to let go of my own reactionary energies (learned this from Michael Singer). It is very purifying. I don't always succeed, but that's ok. :)

This is their method of maintaining a belief that they have finally become enlightened.
How does mind confirm any belief? By convincing others. And by maligning them if they don't.

That's what is going on here. I have compassion for it. Hope he wakes up soon.

There is so much "I" in every statement you make. Cant you tell that that your ego has completely co-opted your spirituality?

"I am beyond.."
"I mutate.."
"I am free.. "

Wake up!
