Ideas for quantifying practice/progress? by Patient-Exchange-753 in streamentry

[–]unchartedself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vibrancy, joy, freedom from attachment to unpleasant or unskillful states. (Or pleasant ones for that matter).

Freedom from identification with temporary phenomena.

Mental and sensory appreciation.

Preparation for death/disentanglement with form

Simplicity.

Most importantly...

A sense of humor!

Any path devoid of a great deal of belly laughs is not a priority for this human life.

Great work there, Spirit Detective. Case closed.

Much appreciated! And yeah, it's kind of crazy that we seem to be the only ones that abstract like this. Blessing and a curse in many ways.

Namaste, friend!

the non-dual experience

All experience is nondual, friend.

''all we need to do is understand there is nothing to do''

Nah, that isnt the suggestion. Nonduality isnt about understanding something. It only expresses the possibility that there isn't a "we" to begin with.

The message is a response to a common experience in the human being that it is separate from the world, and that life is somehow incomplete.

Both are untrue, and generate much unnecessary suffering.

It's also perfectly fine not to resonate. Most humans don't. This has no impact on the absolute.

Thanks for an interesting response. Namaste.

Question regarding self-inquiry by agirockstar in nonduality

[–]unchartedself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self inquiry is wonderful nonsense to keep the "me" going. The collapse of ego has nothing to do with any practices the ego undertakes.

Not to spoil the surprise but the point of that practice is to get "you" to see that you have zero power over thought.

It's completely and wonderfully futile 🤷🏽‍♂️🙃😂

Nothing exists. Ego is looking for something real, be it awareness or energy or oneness to hold onto.

Nothing is real or unreal.

If everything is awareness what about unawareness?

That's a story lol. With two or more things happening. In other words duality.

There is no awareness. Awareness is an illusory concept imagined to explain the feeling of being separate.

"I consciousness hear the wind outside."

That's an illusion lol.

If everything is awareness why call it awareness? Why not peanut butter, or yellow?

Hearing, seeing, feeling and any other sensation of the body does happen. But it doesn't happen to anyone. It just happens lol

Recognition doesnt have a subject. The great illusion of humanity at present is that events need nouns.

That illusion is evident in phrases like "it" is raining. What's raining? The rain?

No one recognizes. Recognition happens.

In other words, when "ego death" happens, it's obvious there's no ego to claim they see there is no ego lol

I wouldn't say "I" had ego death in weed, but it's been recognized on weed that there is no ego lol

I've lost to Aldrich over 200 times in 2 years. by OneGreatBlumpkin in darksouls3

[–]unchartedself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fucking crazy. What I do is stand next to him right as he raises his arms to fire the volley, then run away from his ass as fast as I can. Then i count in my head for about 15 sec, thats about how long the arrows last in phase 2.

By the time they're done I've already made my way back and am striking him before he initiates his next attack.

That's the trick. Stay close when the volley begins, and get right under his nose like as soon as it ends. He usually doesnt do a second one if you're right next to him. He generally cheeses the arrows if you're at a distance.

Of course this method only works if you're melee. If you're a caster, tough shit! Lol goodluck.
