The Razor's Edge

[Meem]

Only the brave of heart, what does a fool or a wise-man do to prove his heart is brave? Do the same mechanics apply for a wo-man? No duality, no riddles, no talking in vaguely specific circles. This could logically be called the path to the plain truth. Some people dance to it's tune not even knowing from where it comes or goes, few are able to play it, and fewer are able to say it. Whatever my purpose is, it is not mine own. Whom is being challenged, and whom is the challenger? Someone should speak directly, if they have something to say, otherwise it must not be very important, and worthy of games, yet another worldly illusion.

I know nothing, and everything all at once.

Namaste

Seeing the fate of ignorant people who are suffering because the mind that they have fancied into existence veils the truth which alone exists, I am filled with pity. In this world fools are born only to suffer and perish.
Originally by Drifter

We come from the void and we return to void, name it as one will.

Many commonalities on the journey, yet each journey is unique.

Perhaps we are all fools, some more happily deluded than others.

On my journey, I have imagined the woman of my dreams so many times. I have bled myself for something unseen, and now it bleeds me. Yet, if this dream woman has truly heard me, she is not brave enough for my heart ... to do on her own what I have only ever asked for. So as I must do, I will keep on living the dream, inside of a dream.

Perhaps the perfection you seek is beyond any mortal woman...
Dreams are a 'perfect sloution' to the illusion of 'perfection'.

The sweetest sacrimental act is that one between ones Soul and ones Spirit. There is no greater bond of such rapture than that between the lover and beloved. "The Sweet Sacrimental Act."

For years I searched for 'the perfect woman',
in the end I found out, we're all just human.

How many times did I pass/mess-up true-happiness?

In the end; What's really important anyway?

This 'void' is the nothing more than the third state of the mind, that of dreamless sleep. There is a deeper state that one can awaken to (that of Lucid Living). That is our (mankinds), 'common denominator', from which all movement (thought/being) arises.

All this journey business, is just the thinking mechanism or the play of the infinite consiousness, having forgotten, as it were, its true essence. This is all an illusion. The T.o.E. will not be found until ones mind is conquered. The journey to embark on or awaken too, is the journey of self-enquiry which leads to the truth or self-realisation. It an inner journey (with many similarities between questors but only one destination, one prize. The one Gem in the Lotus.
Self-realization.

Now, there's a quest, and not for the faint-of-heart.

There aren't many here, imho, who are up to par with (have an affinity for) non-duality.



When objectivity is abandoned, you become mind-less: that is liberation.
Knowing this do whatever you please.
Between the experiencer and the experience you are the experiencing:
know this and remain in self-knowledge.

Hi Drifter and all.
Yes, we are only the ''experiencing''

This is the subtle gap between the experiencer and the experience...where the 'oneness feeling' is found.
This gap in seldom experienced.....but well worth the find imho

When we realize that everything about ourselves is a fraud, a fake, and that the 'i' just doesn't exist.

It is here that all time evaporates, all boundaries disappear, the heart melds, and bliss kisses the beloved.

We become open, standing alone, naked in the light of day, completely full,and yet totally empty.

In that subtle gap, within the self referential self there is a place where the natural world is
connected to all, it is the door that is never locked.

Just one glimpse, and there's no going back.....''Abandon hope all ye who enter here'' .....lol

Here there is an almighty sense of relief, or even shock,
however, a feeling of utter contentment, love, and trust returns to our heart of being, the inner child that never left, lovingly greets us once again.....we are home,
residing in the eternal nothingness...(pardon the paradox)
---where there is no birth and no death.

Watch this wonderful video, about a guy talking about the time he realized he didn't exist..
when this realization dawns on us....all one can do is..... laugh.......laugh......laugh..........laugh......

I mean.. can you imagine realizing that you don't exist, it's not often experienced by the vast majority of people
but the more deeper we go into this idea, the more we are blown away by the experience of this realization.

Most people would call you crazy if you told them they didn't exist, but i think it is they, that are the crazy one's thinking that they do....lol.......
ok it appears we exist, but there is only oneness here wearing many masks.
We're All the same just different.

Hope you enjoy the video.......it's really good.

Namaste mel.
