DISQUS

That seems to come close to the free-fall. Words are prisons, but fun ones.

Not sure what you mean by the free-fall, but yes words are fun prisons for sure.

You make less and less sense lately. I'm subscribed to this blog and I always TRY to read the whole articles, even despite the awful grammar and spelling mistakes, because in the past I've found some of your posts very... enlightening.

But now you're just rambling. Even if you're basically right in what you're saying, it's pretty useless. You state the obvious, you repeat yourself, you get way too abstract to the point where whatever you're saying is not really useful anymore, even if it makes sense in a way.

If people are tolerant then they can look past the technical stuff like spelling and grammar, but next time, before you post an article, look over it with a critical eye and ask this about every paragraph: does this paragraph introduce a new thought? (Or am I repeating myself/rambling/going too abstract?)

Just, why make ANOTHER post about how you can't explain what enlightenment is? If you have nothing to say then just STFU.

nicholaspowiull · 6 months ago

Yes, none of this makes sense, there is value here in these articles, it's quite pointless and useless indeed.

Rambling, grammar mistakes, repeating, obviousness, abstractness, or whatever arises from looking at things from a fixated perspective of the mind; is this too. Everything, no matter what seemly appears, is this one thing (even the mind).

There is nobody here to control or choose what is going to be said or if something is going to be said at all. Everything is just arising on its own accord spontaneously in the moment. There is no sense of self here to make any judgments rather something is right or wrong, useful or not useful, repeating or new, or any other seemly appearance of something to choose from. Any seemly choice, is only one choice because there is only one thing to choose from (which means there is no choice, choice implies two or more).

If you are looking for information to supposedly help yourself, discover knowledge to seemly better your life, find information that will give the illusion of a you some sort of purpose, hear beliefs about what this life is and what the-me can get out of it.... then what this so-called you are looking for, will not be found here.

What is being pointed to here is not the words, concepts, or ideas; obviously the repeating that arose in this article was not enough to draw attention to what is being pointed to through the repeating. All the things you labeled this article as being, are nothing but ideas and concepts being fixated on by the mind.

It's just oneness talking to itself, telling itself to STFU (Shut The Fuck Up), yet as it's telling itself to STFU, it's also writing another post about a pointless and useless explanation of an enlightenment that can't be explained to a mind of ideas and concepts.

I suppose the free-fall for me is like the deja-vu for you. Always new. I think TLS needs a big bear hug!

nicholaspowiull · 6 months ago

Oh okay, that makes a lot of sense. Free-fall, like not clinging onto anything. I never hear it termed that way before. Very creative indeed Suzanne!

Indeed, it's like being re-awakened to everything that is familiar, yet, all that is Me and everything that surrounds me strangely seems brand new. Attitude, perspective, physical energy, mental alertness,... all things positive; unlike before. It's a wondrous transition! How can you bring somebody down who's enraptured with the Joys of living? It can't be done. Acceptance of negative people becomes incredibly easy. We are able to select the people we desire for our closest relationsips, but we are sharing this planet with all. Do so with equanimity. -- Gypsy blessings to you, my friend. May you enjoy life, health, love, happiness and prosperity enough to lead a modest, humble lifestyle; always!

nicholaspowiull · 6 months ago

I wouldn't say re-awakened, since awakefulness is already there, even if the illsuion is masking it. There are no isolating events from awakefulness to sleep, all events are one event. There does seem to be a familiar unfamiliarness arising, but it's not arising for a me. The me that everything is, is not there to claim the everything.

It could be seen that all things are positive, but it's equal to negative, therefore, both positive and negative exist as one thing and nothing simultaneously. There is no judgment as to what could possibly be negative or positive because both exist equally as one thing.

In the seeing of this shift, is the realization that there is no you to accept anything, but acceptance effortlessly happens, making it not really an acceptance but the way that the one moves when it sees itself as only itself. It doesn't see that there are people here, so to say that there is a person being negative, really means nothing. The one is everything, but the one is not there to claim itself. It is the nothing pretending to everything. The one acting as if it is 'something else'. The one playing a role of being someone. The one hold the idea that there is such a thing as negative and it's compared to a seemly 'something else' called positive. There is no distinction to make the call or judgment as to what is what because all of what is only one what.

I am not playing word games here, but I am pointing to that which recognizes itself everywhere and since it recognizes itself everywhere, it recognizes itself through itself by the recolonization of the way it forms the structures of itself to itself.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting Sapphire. Stop by anytime :)

How about us who are Epileptic, and have petty mal seizures in the form of deja vu? These experiences last longer than the average deja vu for non-epileptics. I had deja vu experiences before the head trauma that causes my seizures, but I had never had those experiences individually for more that a brief second or two. Currently, sometimes my deja vu can last for almost one minute! That is an experience that can be very disconcerting.. yet intriguing at the same time. I can comprehend your point of view because I have had these longer deja vu experiences, and also because I was already very interested in the ones I experienced before my head trauma.

nicholaspowiull · 6 months ago

Whatever is arising, it's just oneness. Oneness can not ever not be oneness, so anything that arises is it. Déjà Vu was just a concept pointer, it means nothing (nothing more or less than anything else). Epileptic seizures would NOT have any limiting results in awareness seeing itself in everything it observes, since a epileptic seizure is the one. All these seemly separate things, is the one thing.

However, I did enjoy your comment, déjà vu is certainly an intriguing expereince that can arise as disconcerting simultaneously. Déjà Vu is definitely an interesting phenomenon.

Thank you for commenting Sara, come back soon :)

If I were you I'd be nice to Saph and not be too nit-picky. She might gypsy curse you instead of gypsy bless you. Apparent bad juju could arise!

Let's just all hug!

Your comments really remind me of the movie A Beautiful Mind. Russell Crowe's character never actually "eliminates" the voices in his head, he just learns not to give them the same kind of attention and sense of realness that he did during the beginning of the book. Similar to enlightenment in which we learn not to give the same kind of attention and sense of realness to the illusions that still persist, but become increasingly more and more transparent as we become more aware.

And so I offer yet another "pointer" for enlightenment... :)

nicholaspowiull · 6 months ago

Yes indeed, I like that pointer.

The mind is a beautiful thing for sure, rather thoughts are believed or not, but that does seem to be the key thing about not giving thoughts attention.

There is nobody there who can do that, but if it arises (which could, through the stimulus response of reading this), then the direct expereince of life, would shift, for sure.

Thank you Chris for a lovely comment, please stop by anytime. :)

Your real center is the center of all.
Your real self is the self of all.
At the center, the whole existence is one~
Just as at the source of light, the sun, all rays are one.

Feel happy! Dance with your silence.
This moment is here~enough.

Thank you for sharing
Love and blessings
