Seeking is suffering. Stop seeking and start living. What you want is infront of you. Remove all language, concepts, ideas, beliefs and thoughts for a moment. What do you see? There you have it. Go live life
This! And this happened: Was walking and could not see from my chest to the toe of my boots, had no idea of the distance between, it elongated, I felt 10 feet tall in a subtle way. The ground was much deeper too, just playing with distortions in the visual field/sensorium:) Feels so true the “how is this possible” related to the multiplicity, and myriad forms in the experience of “life”
@@vidaphoenix9574 Awesome. Yeah I know what you mean. I was walking to work and instead of the road extending in front of me into the distance, it extended straight up vertically and I sank down into the ground 😂 Also, the visual field inverted in terms of distance, so the furthest away point/object in the distance became the closest and the peripheral was further away. I could feel the visual texture of objects as the entire visual field. So I look at a log and everything becomes an extension of the log, I look at a blanket and everything becomes an extension of the blanket. I looked at the moon and I experienced the moon in the middle of my head, but also an infinite distance out into space and back behind my eyes. So behind my eyes became the entirety of space. Also objects don't have a relative dimensional size anymore. So when I look at an object it could be any size or any distance away, but it's also not an object distinct from the rest of the surroundings so it's not an object, it's everywhere 😂 When I was filming this video, I could see the tree, but also hear it and feel it. So it's sight/sound/feeling/consciousness all at once. The leaves are moving in the wind, but at the same time nothing is moving. I could go on trying to describe it all day. I love exploring the threshold of the augmentation for fun. It's like a fully immersibe VR magic show that never ends 😂
Hi David Thank you for this most powerful video to me, at this perfect time. I have now lost all interests in any conceptual ideas of awareness, and have no interests in the belief of my life. I've been experiencing lots of 'losing interests in life' to the point that the only thing I still keep and believe in, is to stay alive and keep safe. I was clinging onto this sound of silence to get peace from the thought and still couldn't stop seeking to see reality as I experience the thought of space. when I practise this 'looking back' technique, I hope I haven't misunderstood you, I sense the intention passing from the both sides of the eyes into the back; it really eases the power of the mind augmentation or alteration, adding thoughts to the visual screen. This really helps!!! Thank you!
@@jadecrump5573 My experience with the loss of interest was a fixation in the absolute. It came for me as a form of dissociation from the relative aspects of life due to the shift out of limited identity into an unlimited form, but there was still a lack of integration in a subtle resistance to relative life. It was kind of like a retreat or a regression of identity into the deep sense of I AM. There was still a resistance pattern which was relating to a thought experience and averting from it in some way. This was kind of an emotional block for me. Working with emotions I.E. sensation vs cognitive framing or identification clarified this over time. ❤️
Hey great video! Happened to be exactly at the time when I had this huge doubt on awareness being none other than what is actual in "sense perception" as a constant flow of "shapes" of any kind, and something else along with that. Do you happen to know Frank Yang and his work?
You're like a breath of fresh air mate - what with this 'radical' non-duality crap going round - thank you for your honesty and (Self) compassion.. 🙏💚🌈
@@JackHarrison-x5c Haha 😂 I definitely found the radical Nondual message powerful and useful at one point in this, but it was a very specific point and there was a readiness to open to that. This was post-awakening after a deep shift in Identity. But before that I think it fucked my head up and scared the shit out of me 😂 I think the uncompromising style of pointing is quite rigid and lacks flexibility and nuance. Plus I didn't feel it addressed the emotional aspect much at all, which is something I think is also missing from the Buddhist traditions. Its also so easily taken on by the mind and can become it's own belief structure. I definitely experienced episodes of this. I prefer the vague as fuck and evasive style of pointing where there isn't anything to grab onto other than instructions of practice in a practical sense. I feel the more vague and unsatisfying the descriptions are, the better 😂 because in my experience there is more space in there for this to be tasted directly.
@@difficult_to_describe thanks for reply - beautiful. And yes, ''scared the shit out of me'' is/was the general consensus. To be honest, 'I' kind of do have an agenda, one of illuminating BS, ignorance, an 'interest'/bone of contention if you will, being that the basic science of ''contraction''/charge-compression (and its significance) is clearly misunderstood by these 'ten-a-penny' radical nonduality speakers reading from a Tony Parsons/Jim Newman script - taking utter utter shit about ''an end of contraction'' or ''an end of seeking''
@@difficult_to_describe Basically, I feel how you feel about it - that which compels you to talk about 'this' and call out the relative BS spurs 'me' on also. Theres a kind of 'current' of humility and compassion about it. Having once (in the story) been confronted with 'radical nonduality/speakers - ultimately my own 'reflection', I, nevertheless, understand 'others' scary perspective, and also, the view of the 'radical' speakers - their crippling narrative (as is ALL narrative) of ''boundless this'' and ''boundless that'' and that ''contraction falls away indefinitely'' and that ''there is an end to seeking'' and ''so what the 'separate individual does is'' - as if there was one!
