All this rebuking is ruffling my magnetic - if you denounce me I'll totally swoon. 😃 You're far beyond all of them. The Adi Shakti is a Muse - an actress, just as you say. I am struggling because I do not have an external identity, since I committed in a holy way to reflect the Adi Shakti, who I call Kali. Like you, I like being liked, and the marginalization has really, really hurt me. I don't have friends, family, or community, and I've been alone for maybe ten months straight, now? A pariah only because I won't believe in illusion. It sucks. You're funny and I TRULY BELIEVE God is a comedian. Yet, also a savage maniac. This is why its best to keep him laughing. The truth is wordless, and it must be found first, and then all conversation grown on top, since words are figments. I found it by playing the Fool, radically - by systemically getting myself rejected from every social community, by negation I plummeted to...the truth. It is an ancient magnetic field, an awareness - I want to share it with you and others, yet it is wordless, so it's tricky. It is living love - bliss. All I can do for now is jump up and down in your comments and encourage you because you're blazingly on the right track. I also think you're funny and hot and super smart. If you let me share this wordless awareness with you, you will become more Powerful than you ever dreamt possible. Or I'm not a dog. 🧡

Oneness. Yes, the language is funny. Indeed, it appeals to narcissists who revel in Vedanta's pseudo-understanding or perhaps they are simply willing converts to nonsense, like in any old cult. There must be pleasure in it. Oneness. Unity. Bliss. Bliss, surely, would get anyone's heart racing. Ecstasy, anyone..? I think it pays to read Plato's 'Gorgias' again. The discussion revolves around the difference between rhetoric (or oratory) and truth. And one of its take-home messages being: It is better to suffer a wrong than to commit a wrong, and best to avoid both if you can. The reason I say the modern Vedanta crowd are wrong can be gleaned here. Who benefits from this (rhetorical) 'knowledge'..? Answer: The Them, the gurus and their fawning acolytes. Are those seeking solace, relief, freedom from suffering saved from said suffering through word games..? Given most of us use language and are used by it, it's hardly surprising we get caught up in nonsense from time to time. But perhaps we ought to offer harsher criticisms using Vedanta's own premises. I mean, strictly speaking, oneness should be taught alongside not-two-ness. That is, like most Indian schools of philosophy a statement of absolute truth is often bolstered by denying its opposite. Without this double-barreled shotgun, we only strike one clay pigeon, not the lot, which leads to very little clay pigeons for dinner indeed. There is no oneness apart from not-twoness, that is to say, there is no oneness all alone, floating in a spiritual heaven above mere mortals like us, since this oneness includes all things imaginable. It is also, then, the denial of the distinction between oneness and all that is not oneness. The Indians, like other East Asians who learned this trick, use a both/and logic in addition to our measly Western logic of either-or logic. Of course, this does not apply to the weather. It is not both sunny and stormy at the same time, unless you live in New Zealand where such schizoid weather patterns are banefully evident, to the chagrin of those who'd like to know how to dress appropriately. But in matters of the highest spiritual concern perhaps this logic does help. It keeps us on our spiritual toes and helps us see that there is 'no way out' except via self-awareness or meditation. Krishnamurti, I think, had the right take on the meaning of 'vedanta': "veda" or "thought" and "anta" or 'the ending of". Thus, there is no experience at the end of the rainbow, Dorothy, no goal. And there is no significance to the Zen finger pointing at the moon, other than the beauty of the moon itself. Hence, it is meant to be about quietening the mind, becoming free of mental anguish, the ending of 'thought' as K said, but he was probably an outlier and overshadowed by Osho and other copycats who sold spirituality as some sort of highly exotic and esoteric pursuit of pleasure (indeed, overtly sexual in Osho's case), which, as it happens, dovetails well with avid consumerism, the passive consumption of what everybody else wants. It's tragic really but it was bound to happen where Eastern egoless spirituality met Western egocentric capitalism on a daring date. I suppose gurus can now charge a lot of money if they can pull the wool well enough and for long enough. The danger is that this merry-go-round of words only reinforces the madness of our age. In times of crisis, history shows, religions pop up like mushrooms. The most tragic scene I've ever witnessed was a carousel in Spain, outside a shopping mall. The plastic ponies were replaced (perhaps for repairs) by a very sad-looking bunch of Shetland ponies going around and around, each of their heads drooping, each one chained by the neck to a pole. No one was there to look after them. I have never seen animals looking so dejected, not since Eeyore fell out of a tree. Aren't we in the same predicament? Tirelessly looking for enlightenment where none is to be found, bound to the carousel..? Isn't it a form of spiritual slavery? Part of what Marx called 'the superstructure'..? There's even a branch of Tibetan Buddhism which openly scams the unemployed to live in so called monastic retreats where the only thing retreating (to a bank in Switzerland) is their dole money. Even the road leading to the dilapidated accommodation units are dilapidated. I guess the Lotus really does grow out of the muck...except that one is plastic.

@@kingofaikido I love words. I think Advaita Vedanta is beautiful yet it is only a piece of the puzzle. People reduce things to one liners for memes to pontificate like time wasters around the water cooler, it's obnoxious. No one ever found enlightenment from Goddard quotes. '5D Barbie' thinking breeds monsters. They do that to justify group think and social privilege - it's intellectual and moral cowardice, distraction. Yet I disagree with your latter dismissal of the Bliss of God, which is very real and is better than cocaine. It is magic. It takes bliss to make magic. The big flower on the Paradevi Mandala is the Bliss of God, and it powers the three pew-pew-pew flowers, which are like...spell cannons. Heal, Burn, Death. White, red, black. Girlfriend, Captain, Maniac! The Queen of Hel is half a dead skeleton man, and half a living Sorceress. Pew pew pew.

@@WolfHeadedDragonQueen I couldn't agree more. I tried cocaine once in Spain, having been told it was going to be a special night. The gyrating Spanish crowd at the midnight bar, the only one open at 3am, resembled vampire-zombies from that film Blade. As we were walking back to our digs at the crack of dawn and the effects were beginning to wear off...I couldn't help but yelp at my cohorts...'Dudes and Dudesses, I think you may be mistaken for thinking this is some sort of transcendental experience. Even yoga breathing can confer a blissful state for three months..! Never mind mindfulness which is eternal. I can't believe you've settled for this as some kind of 'high'..! It's about as high as a mosquito gets on mojito. This would not even appear on the spectrum of enlightened states. Nice puffy feeling....but not very lasting, with a mift ending... I didn't feel as disappointed by the coke but by my friends who thought it woke. Never mind, this was Baudrillard's negation of negation, the so called double negation. The negation of poverty via the negation of ecstasy only masked the negation of thought. We lived in a capitalist dreamscape, dreaming of escape, only to find ourselves looking forward to more drudgery daze...in an animal life on the rope.

cool, sixth sense you got there :)

Appreciate it :) unfortunately, I don't know any communities, but I know there must be! I am The Lone Ranger on these topics 😆

@@TheMadNorseman 🤣 😂 😅 I for an I?

@@THEORIGINOFJAIQKILLYN Can there be anything else? 🙂

​@@THEORIGINOFJAIQKILLYN It's a brave to reveal these perspectives that go against what is considered normal. I was fortunate enough to tell someone close to me that knows what I went through that lead me to the experience I had back in May. She was so excepting and said it was a wonderful thing, it must be leading to something good. Than she pointed me to someone we both know that had there own experience but I have not reached out to them yet. I was interested to look back at your last video that you posted. Whatever has happened I hope something good will come of it. If you are you facing challenges you do not need to face it alone. I appreciate what you are sharing and I support you.
