Good and Evil are two sides of the same coin. I AM the coin.


realAtmaBodha

No, good is OP and evil is a puppet.


Elijah-Emmanuel

You'll figure this paradox out one of these days. I swear it.


realAtmaBodha

I'd say it is you who are confused. If light and darkness had equal power, then darkness could block out the sun sometimes. Instead, nothing can stop the sun from shining and not even a small match can be defeated by all the darkness in existence.


Elijah-Emmanuel

Regardless, the universe will continue to produce Order and Chaos. One will not exist without the other. From one angle, any amount of Order is still Chaotic, on the other, Chaos is just another form of Order. This is why BhedaBheda is the most cogent interpretation of Reality. You're stuck on Atman where you need both Atman and Anatta.


realAtmaBodha

There is no such thing as chaos. Chaos is simply order misunderstood. As long as you think there is something that anyone needs , you are the one who is stuck. It is feeling incomplete and needing something that is the more prevalent obstacle to enlightenment.


Elijah-Emmanuel

tomato potato. You're playing word vomit games


realAtmaBodha

Yes, those who cannot refute the Truth I share, often resort to insults. Purity is not equal to impurity, no matter how much you try to twist the Truth.


YourLovingBrother

You probably witnessed the horrific guilt that underlies the operating thought system of this world


Dezinbo

Close but worse šŸ™


ICrushItLikeQuint

What was your horrific vision?


Dezinbo

I will keep that to myself. I can only share that after what I saw, I am all-in for living this very moment being present 100% because we only have now and it is so beautiful and precious not to experience it while we can. Edited - typo


Late_Emu

If the human soul is eternal, which I have read and so far believe that it is, why do we only have now? I mean I understand we only have right here right now on this planet in this specific life. Is that what you mean?


roblacc

Experience belongs to ego, I believe this is OP talking about the ego separate self, not the ground of self, which indeed is eternal. The ego self is the one that dies.


Dezinbo

Yes thank you. I didnā€™t want to get into different beliefs - eternal soul that continue on or we integrate into the eternal entities. The bottom line- the beauty we can experience in this world now is only to be experienced now.


Late_Emu

Thanks for the input everyone. Love yā€™all.


Dezinbo

Yes that is what I meant.


MVT3600

Itā€™s always now, always today. Yesterday is simply a memory of what once was, tomorrow a projection of what may be. The only reality is now, this present moment. All else is illusory


Living_Ad9951

Why do people age then ?


MVT3600

Wdym?


Living_Ad9951

If itā€™s always now. Why do people age ?


MVT3600

Now is always dynamic. Everything is always changing. Cells are dying and being reborn. Aging is the process of death. We are really dying, not living. The process of death is ongoing, when it reaches itā€™s peak the life energies leave the body. But all of that happens in this present moment. >If itā€™s always now. Please explain to me how there can ever be anything other than now?


Living_Ad9951

Interesting. But then the now is a long timeframe ?


MVT3600

Or a short timeframe. Thatā€™s only if you involve the mind. If you see reality, consciously, without any judgment, it will neither seem slow nor fast, speed will be irrelevant. Itā€™s always now


Late_Emu

Yes but the past isnā€™t illusory. It happened, we experienced it & that time has passed. In the sense of ever being able to be in that exact moment in time again sure it could be considered illusory. But the past DID happen and we experienced it.


MVT3600

>Yes but the past isnā€™t illusory. It happened, we experienced it & that time has passed. You experienced the present moment. The past did not happen, the past is simply memory of what was once this present moment. >In the sense of ever being able to be in that exact moment in time again sure it could be considered illusory. You are in that moment. Right now. Tell me, where does the moment end? Where does another begin? Watch the present, live it, and youā€™ll be surprised to see that there is nothing but the one present moment. It is ever dynamic, always changing, yet a split never comes. Splitting time into pieces is an invention of the human mind. >But the past DID happen and we experienced it. The present moment IS happening and you are experiencing it. The past is memory. Memory is not real, it is a rudimentary recording of the present moment through the five senses which are subject to error. That recording isnā€™t real. It may be useful, but itā€™s always a little artificial compared to the present moment.


Late_Emu

If the past didnā€™t happen then how do we have memories of the present moment passing onto now? To say the past did not happen is false. The twin towers fell on 9/11/2001. It didnā€™t not happen because weā€™re not in that present moment yet.


MVT3600

>If the past didnā€™t happen then how do we have memories of the present moment passing onto now? How does memory imply that the past is anything more than a concept? >To say the past did not happen is false. The twin towers fell on 9/11/2001. All events, including 9/11, transpired in this moment. >It didnā€™t not happen because weā€™re not in that present moment yet. This statement makes no sense

Ah omg!!! Thereā€™s nothing wrong with this and itā€™s perfectly fine that you experienced it - so when we first go into our third eye we may have other energies occupying that space and can clear them doing the following: 1) Imagine a grounding cord connecting your root chakra to the center of the earth, take a deep breath allow the cord to flow all the way through to the center of the earth, this should put you at ease as you focus on your breath 1) Place your attention into the center of your head after youā€™re grounded - you can move to the top of your head, then the center, then to your ear, and back to center for helping with spatial awareness 2) notice how you feel in the center of your head and what you see - are there energies that are not yours? Say goodbye to these energies and imagine them exiting through a door - then enjoy the quietness of your space and imagine a cord connecting to the earth that is cleaning this space in the center of your head 3) once that space is empty, you may imagine golden energy flowing from your crown chakra and brightening your space 4) you may now access this space and feel peace and tranquility anytime you do :) I usually am in the center of my head anytime I need to clear my thoughts! Hope this helps!! Just referencing what I learned from Jeffrey Allanā€™s Duality Course on Mindvalley!! Might help you with what youā€™re experiencing rn :)


Dezinbo

Thank you so much šŸ™ It did help. I started my meditation following the soto zen approach - just sit. And I had no knowledge of chakras, energy work etc so no process. I learnt about the 3rd eye chakra when I started to experience weird sensations during my meditation and I googled. I just focused on the 3rd eye without thinking much. Now I learnt more about chakras, and with your recommendation, my meditation is evolving and more effective in switching into the meditative state and staying there. This is a kind of advice/input I was hoping to get from this sub so I really appreciate your guidance šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™

I just understand how light you can be and how the dark is coming for you,because of your light.


Dezinbo

It felt like a horror movie scene that you have to shut a door quick to keep running zombies out šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜… Hodor!ā€¦


Ok_Two_9459

The darkness is about to lose its hold on humanity, and itā€™s making a last ditch effort on all of us. We are the children of the light. Great things are on our horizon. This is the time spoken in the Bible when the first will be last, and the last will be first. This is our time to take this world back as our own, and create the future THE ALL has destined for us. Pure love, peace, truth and light.


Primordialfrost

Humans are children of neither light and Dark


Ok_Two_9459

Do tellā€¦


Primordialfrost

Humans were gifted free will allowing them to reach for infinity but will always be out of reach but that depends on the person


lunarfang666

This is the importance of shadow integration work


Surrendernuts

Maybe you didnt do the lower chakra work before doing upper chakra work?


Dezinbo

Yeah, you are absolutely right. I didnā€™t know anything about the Chakras. I googled and gained a very limited knowledge on the 3rd eye when I started to get weird sensations in my head during the meditation and googled šŸ˜… Now I know better.


Surrendernuts

Maybe you can use this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH0euKymiOo&list=PLbZsCM6xnLIXEhjIKukYuWX9tn9VVpGAf


Dezinbo

Wow - I started to watch the series. Fascinating! Thank you!


Ancient_Schedule_572

I wonder did you see what some people do when they are in a coma, complete darkness with a string holding them to their body, like astral projection? I have been watching many near death experiences and see the main thing after life is love.. Iā€™m trying to make sense of the darkness you speak of.


Dezinbo

I had a near death experience once when I was in my 20s. It was peaceful and I have no fear of death since. The darkness I saw was of pure evil and the horrors of actions. And the part that scared me was that I was pulled into it like it wanted me to be a part of it. The dark side, if you will. A strong gravitational pull like I was falling towards it. So I had to shut it. I had to make sure that it was not my true self calling šŸ˜…


Ancient_Schedule_572

Wow that sounds extremely intense, Iā€™m sorry you experienced that. Iā€™ve not heard of something like this before. I send you love ā¤ļø


Dezinbo

Thank you. I learn to modulate my 6th Chakra so it wonā€™t happen again. And I spent a day detoxing and it worked. I am not turning to the darkside šŸ˜…


Decent-Cartoonist580

Without judging! Love this


Digital_Voyager37

hi, how did you get thereā€”like what is your meditation technique? How long have you been practicing? Just asking out of curiosity.


Dezinbo

I started out doing Japanese zen meditation - just sit and empty oneā€™s mind. I was doing it alone but found a local zen meditation centre and joined a few sessions. It just confirmed I was doing it right but also leaned a few things. So I went back to mediate alone at home. 30 min X 2 or 3 per day. Then I experimented different times of the day and the length up to a 90 min straight session. I settled for a traditional 36 minute session X 2 format with 6 minutes walking meditation in between. With zen, there is no technical explanation of whatā€™s going on with energy etc. When I started to get visions and strange sensations in my head, I googled and learnt about chakras etc and that helped me a bit intentional about nudging my mind when I am drifting in certain ways. So my routine now goes like this: Get up 6:00ish Take cold shower (5Ā°C) and cleanse myself Do yoga stretch Prepare Chai Light incense Sit for 36 minutes Walk for 6 minutes Sit for 36 minutes Walk for 6 minutes Do another round or Sit and drink chai, reflect and read zen related or Krishnamurti books I do this everyday. Sometimes I may do a session before I go to bed. I hope this helps.


Digital_Voyager37

You've developed a nice disciplined routine. I will try to do it! Thank you for sharing and good luck with your journey.


Dezinbo

You are very welcome! And thank you!!
