Tears flow hearing these words as I type each letter in this comment. Conscious of my movements and the keys. Then the space between each. I pause aware of a fragrance as I am conscious of my breath.

@rsridhar I like to see the teaching of 'nothingness' as the dissolution of all the bothersome 'things' in our minds so we can be the higher state you mentioned. In a conversation I once had I mentioned the seemingly separateness of our inner and outer world but that I was noticing shifts in my inner consciousness having effect on my outer experience. He replied that if the inner world is very clear, the outer world is very beautiful. (Message continued below.)
Quite easy said then done, how do we keep maintaining the state of now permanently without being pull by thoughts? To me great discipline can only makes it harder to stay in the state of now.
@rsridhar For a while I interpreted 'clear' as meaning well examined or understood. Then after more life I was able to see what he meant by 'clear' was empty, not projecting ideas and concepts which creates unpure awareness. Can you dig it? Much love.
Can you experience it even if you don't want to?Its just happend to me and Im having difficulty to live with it at the moment...is just like you live in real world and suddanly something wakes you up...it feels soo unnatural to me...I so wish I could go back to my old way of living...is it possible?How to deal with it?
Don't let you mind tell you it's difficult, it's so easy that at a certain point you don't know otherwise. But you can start already at moments that the 'I' generally is annoyed, in traffic, standing in line for something having to wait somewhere.....beyond worth the investment:)
_ Thinking has also been called reflecting. _ Thinking is NOT evolution of things. Thinking is a THING in itself. You may have heard "Thoughts are things". _ Thinking is in one sense the reflection of the experiences of our contacts with reality in the present moment. _ In another sense, thinking is the flow of random energy associated with particular actions/reactions in what one might imagine as the movement of life. Words are never accurate to explain such things.
Here are 2 passages from the Gnosis of Avatar Meher Baba: “ Things that are real are given and received in silence” -Meher Baba “Mind wants to know that which is beyond mind. To know that which is beyond mind, mind must go-vanish, leaving no vestige of itself behind. The humour of it is, the mind, which is finite, wants to retain itself and yet know Truth, which is infinite. This is the position of those who seek Truth through intellect. Few grasp this fact, and so most grope and grapple in vain. “ -Meher Baba Love is all, Al
@Fishpigg We are separated from God by leaving creation to escape into our mind where we can feel like we are creator. IT was pain and our resentment of that pain that first drove us there. IF we don't wake up, then we will have missed the gift of real life in this moment and all the truth revealed in this moment and exchange it for our own fantasy. Purpose is being with one purpose, the Is-ness Leo is talking about. In which Love, Forgiveness, and all other true forms of consciousness exist.
urallinsane That's one way to see it. However a blank mind is dull and non experiencing. The opposite of living. We naturally, effortlessly think. Its our nature. Its evolved. Why would we want to negate a thinking mind?
@@XOXO-mb2vh , Your mind will not be "blank" but full of the present moment, full of Presence. It's how you open the door to "God", Universal Consciousness(whatever you want to call it, how can it even have a name?), it's only our pointless fantasies that distract us from it's powerful Presence and awareness in every moment of our lives. When you open to "it" you begin to see that you ARE it! However, it takes effort and commitment because your mind will tell you anything to keep you from the present moment. You have to retrain your mind to be able to be quiet. A challenge!
Terry Lightfoot You don’t retain your mind. Mind must vanish. As Avatar Meher Baba once discoursed: “Mind wants to know that which is beyond mind.

@ppcasey ::it feels different in relationship. but its all in the momnent the feeling of sepretion is also part of being, not just the blissfull state we are both and all is a manifestation of THAT... be all
separation from what ? OK TELL US SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW ,or more HOW TO obtain the unobtainable ,liberation/freedom /nirvana / ooji ma flip / The purpose of being is being without purpose
_ Separation from the wholeness or "oneness" of Life. One is not actually separate from the wholeness of Life, but the psychological element of belief in such leads to various states of withdrawal and suffering in one way or another. _ A feeling of alienation or entrapment are also markers of separation from the wholeness of Life. _ One IS Life !
In order to live a happy life we have to believe in God alone with no partner And that we follow through the prophets And wrote God's heavenly(Koran) Because it is the only book Allve not distorted And we follow the Islamic religion Because he is the true religion.Check with yourselves))

This was the most impactful teaching I have ever heard. And I’ve been seeking for years and years.
Wake up everybody........open up to your inner light....the sooner we awaken we can start this new earth, Love is all there is, God is Love

Thank you, Leonard. You are truly a gift from God! You express this sooooooo wellllll!!!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!!
I'm so thankful I'm awakened at 22!!! Now I have the rest of my life to feel good and teach others!
Quite easy said then done, how do we keep maintaining the state of now permanently without being pull by thoughts? To me great discipline can only makes it harder to stay in the state of now.
Thank You very much for the clear understanding you gave.
it seems weird to me that so few people realize this although it's quite clear actually.
Very clear! Thankyou!

Yes it is kind of lonely being the only one not caught up in the false world of the mind.
Can you experience it even if you don't want to?Its just happend to me and Im having difficulty to live with it at the moment...is just like you live in real world and suddanly something wakes you up...it feels soo unnatural to me...I so wish I could go back to my old way of living...is it possible?How to deal with it?

Quality stuff.
Isn't this just living? Who doesn't already know this? Thinking is the evolution of things.
Try it. Once you see "it", you can't unsee it. It's a better way to be!
