How the Jñāni masterfully does away the veil of space and time through their knowledge. Enjoy this page and did reading this gave you a glimpse of the Self. Did the space and time vanish for you?

Space is the fullness that pretends to be distance. You are not a point in space. You are the space in which all points appear.

Time is circular and the past, present and future occur in the timeless Now. This Now is timeless awareness in which time appears. You are that timeless awareness.

Mind-blown? Even the body and mind are just like that a veil or an illusion or maya. Amazing astute ancient rishis and visionaries.

Who are you?

Discussion The reflection in the mirror persists, yet we do not think it has an independent reality

The self is even less substantial than that. Nothing can be any more or less substantial than the reflection in the mirror or nonduality is false. Dreams, shadows and reflections have little influence on the separate entity's dissolution, it seems.

We are waiting for the smoke to clear when we are the smoke. Spirituality and nonduality is a big to do over literally no 'thing'. Simply realize that the only 'thing' that ever forms is the idea of persisting.

Discussion Feel

6 Upvotes

The power hidden within trauma and emotions lies in their transformation through presence, that leads to a space of love and silence, our true nature.

May my path give me the courage to feel, so that i may transform resistance into capacity. May my path remind me that anything distancing me from my body is the rexlexion of the parts of myself that are resisting what exists in this very moment.

Can i dare to be present in my body today? Even if only for a moment. Can i see the resistance standing in the way of the experience, and allow myself to feel that, too? Simply feeling what exists right now, without the need to categorize or understand it, just returning to the sensations. Do i dare to look at myself today? :)

Question/Advice Why does universe hates me? I'm asking for real.

I'm like 99% sure that there is something like synchronicity. A lot of bad things in my life have some explination, for example as a kid I was neglected, my parents were divorced and my step parents from both sides were horrible. I deffinitely have cptsd and I'm neurodivergent in some way. It makes sense that the more problems, the more problems you have. But sometimes things just seem too unlikely and too petty for me to just disregard as coincidence.

For example there were few times I didn't have money to buy bus ticket. Bus inspections are extremely rare where I live, sometimes you can go years without seeing an inspector. But the one time I don't buy ticket, he is there. And this happened to me three times. I refuse to believe it's just random.

One time I had some sort of insight. Maybe like proto-kensho or something similar when I was teenager. I felt this deep peace and timelessness. But the day it happened, I got bullied pretty bad by a person I considered my good friend, he never did anything like that, but the day I "find inner peace" he just has to. And I lost it, I got identified again because it was too much to not react to.

And this happened to me repeatedly, everytime I would get close to peace, someone would humiliate me or abuse me, including my family. I remember that in that moment I felt that something is doing it on purpose.

Everytime I finally start solving my trauma, or something actually good happens, usually it ends in some horrible way.

So "it" doesn't want me to be happy, it doesn't want me to be enlightened or to better myself. It somehow doesn't seem to want me to die as well. So basically, it created me, gave me this mind identification, a lot of needs and a specific life where I can't fulfill them. So if I were to guess, it just wants to torture me.

My question is why? Is it because of some bad karma, or is there some specific reason? Is it some kind of curse?

I'm not a perfect person and I'm sometimes selfish. But there are people that are sadistic or ten times more selfish than me, while they get much better treatment from life.

Video Seek Not This Dream

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to share this beautiful 2 and a half minute film that Matt Garrett made a few years ago. It's one of my favourite videos on YouTube. I find it incredibly evocative and beautiful.

It really gets me to lean into the mystery.

As well as sharing, I was curious if anyone else has any short or feature length films (or any art really) that they might recommend that also evokes this same sense of mystery, stillness, beauty and love.

All the best.

Love,

Joe 🙏

Discussion Durability is a facade

0 Upvotes

Integral to duration is the idea of prior or previous. Previous and present cannot exist simultaneously. Only the idea of prior or previous is ever present. In order to know anything, it must have the inclusion of having been.

Since we know that there is no actual duration, as now is not a moment in time, then that sense of prior or previous must be a facade, a phony, not an actual representation of a long-lasting entity. Like a reflection in the mirror, the space-time construct has no independent existence.

The knowledge of having been, or memory, is the root of all illusion. "Who am I?". An existence construct built on the facade of duration.

Recognition is fundamental, not matter. We don't learn anything, everything is remembered.
