It so happens that many patients, or clients of therapists, are never diagnosed, but listened to and loved until there seems no choice to believe they must be worthy...that worth is internalised by the ego...finally the ego is convinced of the right to exist...and many things, including the stripping back of the ego and the realisation of its illusory nature, are possible. I never paid a penny for my therapy. But these sorts of stories, about the illuminati keeping us in our place to take our money and resources, are stories like any others, including the stories of redemption that happen so often in therapy. In fact, nothing is happening.No One In Particularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465987207757191972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-36278519596553924312009-12-09T23:58:47.170+00:002009-12-09T23:58:47.170+00:00Hi, Sue, about the disclaimer mentioned by Lisa......Hi, Sue, about the disclaimer mentioned by Lisa...<br />Well, I will not say a word, just see these videos:<br />http://www.cchr.org/#/videos/where-the-truth-lies<br />cheersFernando Rozashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197538012625108430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-3906744189647866342009-12-09T21:56:11.282+00:002009-12-09T21:56:11.282+00:00Hi Mommy, that's been there except for the fir...Hi Mommy, that's been there except for the first three months of the blog, put it there because it seemed prudent...I guess Suzanne is prudent!

And however one might twist and turn it, there is no way out or in of THIS. There is no one that could investigate or surrender or get it or not get it.

The closest I seem to get to feeling liberated is the simple obvious-ness that what is happening here right now could never be, nor need be other than it is, and I'm not doing any of it. <br />For me this is a mystery. I know that I don't "know" anything for sure. I have no doubt that if more is to happen, it will and I don't need to be concerned about that. It is unfolding. <br />I feel like a child in the unknown. Apart from functional things I have no reliable formulas for how to be or what to do, and often surprised to see things happening that defy previously held concepts about how things work.<br />"This" can make anything happen in anyway it wants.......it's as though I'm being whispered to "take your your hands off the wheel and see what happens"; that sense is getting stronger and stronger..........it can be amazing, exhilarating, unsettling at times, deliciously fun at times, deeply beautiful at times. disorientating, terrifying, raw etc etc etc.<br />The posts here have been spoken to me by the whispering.<br />There's a conscious tv interview with Wayne Liquorman in which he describes a metaphor of Ocean and wave. Wayne calls his explanations poetry. The writings here have that effect upon me. The poetics feed into imagination, which is where this "i" seems to predominantly hang out, and has an effect of dissolving sense of wave-ness to ocean-ness more or less in a moment, and an overall welcome sense of lightness all the time.<br />That kind of bullshit I like!<br />Barry.cluelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292622374109390956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-24822259664224414772009-12-09T08:23:54.474+00:002009-12-09T08:23:54.474+00:00I swear, to no one from nothing, that I will catch...I swear, to no one from nothing, that I will catch up on the damnable ironing TODAY!

But even if, in the stillness of no thought, boundlessness is more obvious, and it stays that way or not, or there isn't an option of no thought, or the thoughts seem to come and go - there is nothing, that is not oneness. Even the resistance to it is oneness, in a less-than-obvious guise. There are no goals, not even enlightenment. And the biggest revelation of all is that there isn't any such thing as enlightenment - there isn't any such thing as anything. All those trials and tribulations on the road to awakening are more stories, happening in time. Some pointers work better for some minds than others; for some, noticing the absence of a witness "works"; for others, simply knowing that whatever seems to be going on, there is only this, now, is the last moment in time ever meaningfully experienced. Everybody has this; everybody is this. All these pointers are so much dust, so many concepts.

And the noticing and experiencing of the spaceousness beyond thought is the most awesome and actually unspeakable liberation - even if it's experienced for just a "brief moment". It is, so it seems, a huge difference to just keep telling myself over and over again that I am perfect just the way I am...claudianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-2521526787763806982009-12-08T15:18:51.564+00:002009-12-08T15:18:51.564+00:00Hey Fernando, forgetting, not forgetting, reading ...Hey Fernando, forgetting, not forgetting, reading the newspaper, reading nothing, making money, dropping out of society...or still seeking...whatever seems to come up...just perfect.

Occasionally I get comments along the lines of "U so fine baby I'd reely like to shag ya" which I feel probably don't do much to add to the debate on nonduality, point out the boundlessness that we are, or seem in any way to need to be published. Judgments do arise, however briefly! However, it's also handier to have them all listed for moderation when I get to the computer, easier to "find" them as they are sometimes on older entries and that way I can answer them easily if answering them seems to come up. Anything challenging I go ahead and publish without exception; in fact, would like to see more challenges in the comments.
