What is the story with my dinner brother bull weavel. He is taking forever and starting to go loopey. Just wanna eat and go to sleep and dream of better days. Hate the weavel house.

Thats about right. Made a fool of myself with a mini breakdown.

This is the best explanation iv ever heard it can’t get simpler then that Thank you for this You just explained it in the perfect way possible

So somebody wrote in about, "How do I make a choice?" And you gave him a cup of coffee and shared that all of existence from the beginning of the Big bang, exist to give this person a cup of coffee. Yes that is amazing!

Exploring Emptiness: Understanding the Impersonal 'I Am' and the Illusion of Self. When I investigate emptiness, I cannot find an "I am." I can only be the emptiness. Can this be the impersonal "I am"? There does not appear to be a sense of self. When I look through the body, there is an identification with the body that belongs to me. Awareness and happiness seem to be recognized. Yeah, yeah, so it seems that people use all these words differently. Sometimes I used to use "I am," and maybe still do, as impersonal beingness. I always feel like the "I am" or the impersonal beingness is everything, and the love and consciousness is the empty emptiness. Yeah, so that's how I see it. But in the end, you have to find your own words, because the way I speak about it or describe it is like, you know, imagine if I’d never tasted watermelon before, and you're trying to describe it to me. So, it becomes, in a way, a very personal experience-but it's impersonal. Yeah, I don't know if that helps. Thank you.

When you say happiness is beyond the senses, I understand this as being without knowledge, memory, and meaning. I come to this nothing, and in that nothing, a thought arises: How do I function in society like this? Can you explain why this is still happening? Because most probably, there's an idea of how you have to function in society, and there’s not the radical acceptance yet of not being able to fully function. Yeah, you know, not being able to talk in certain conversations, socialize, be on the phone all the time, and work on the internet all the time-this isn’t possible. So then, you have to ask yourself: What is it that I’m afraid to let go of? What am I still holding on to? What blocks are there in the mind? You have to be something-empathy, compassion, and seeing these thin illusions that arise, these thin karmas. It begins to get very subtle. And just remember that the nothingness has to be accompanied with love-the everything. That’s what I think they mean by concentration, you know, going deep into that. And then, there has to be love. So, the deep concentration, not this and that, it’s the "neti-neti," the nothing-nothing, and then it has to be accompanied with love. They come together. You move to consciousness, and then the consciousness sort of disappears. There’s nothing to be conscious of, yet there is experiencing. It’s like the consciousness becomes a bridge, and then there’s nothing and everything. The everything side is the love side, and it’s really important to have them both together-the nothing and the everything. So, consciousness you can see as a bridge. There’s always awakeness, there’s always a knowing, but it’s not conscious of anything. And as you go into it, they come together. So, there’s nothing at the backside of consciousness and everything at the front side. But it comes together, and then it’s love and emptiness. Nisargadatta Maharaj would say, “To know ‘I am everything’ is love. To know ‘I am nothing’ is wisdom. And in between, my life unfolds.” So, beautiful. Yeah, so I’m just going to carry on with the same person. There are a few questions in between, but just because they might have replied to what I was saying, it’s good to carry on. If Ivan, the character, is dreaming about itself, Ian can’t wake up because it is the dream. So, that which is aware of the dream is the dream, and the dream simultaneously. Is this correct? Oh my goodness, hang on, that’s so complex. Let me go on. Yes, sometimes it’s hard to think. You know, I speak, but I’m not thinking when I speak-it’s just like coming out. And then when I have to concentrate, I think, "Can I wake up because it is a dream?" So, Ivan is a dream. Yes, so that which is aware of the dream is the dream, and the dreamer simultaneously. Is this correct? Yes, and there’s beyond the dream too

Thank you! Thank you Lisa and this channel. You've helped find the fun and stay curious in life!

Why, i get fatigue,what will i do?

Even though one understands and continues to know more and more about the nature of non-duality, it seems tricky to implement it into everyday life. How do you suggest living the truth on a daily basis, especially in such a world of duality, with love and gratitude? Yeah, it's tricky, eh? Because once you begin to go deeper and deeper into this, you're then living and working in a very separate society that has no language for this. If you lived in the East, there would be a language for this. Everyone would have a language for this, and it’s so prevalent in those societies. Well, not everyone - I say these extremes sometimes, you know? I mean, a lot of people, yeah. Whereas here, you know, it's now becoming a bit more well-known, with things like mindfulness or the idea of positive thinking. But the truth of this subject is so hidden. So, you know, there's going to be a movement away from this society. There's more than likely going to be some form of withdrawal from it. Because, you know, going out and socializing with people who are totally identified with their dream is crazy-making. You're like, "This isn't real. How can I relate to this person who's completely lost in their dream of themselves?" There are many stages, you know, where you try to gaslight yourself or talk yourself into it because there's attachment to that old world, to society, and to people. But there's going to be - like there is a breaking away from yourself - a breaking away from others, and a movement into complete aloneness, which is very scary from the personal perspective. But from the absolute, it's home. And when that happens more and more, you're still going to have to maneuver in society. But there will be more detachment from it, and you'll learn more tricks on how to deal with it and how to maneuver around it. But it's not easy. I had this shift 12 years ago, and before that, I had lots of awakenings. And still, there is working out how to live in this society. Yeah, it's very identified, you know. Some teachers, they would say a beautiful practice to do is seeing God in everything. So, you go to a supermarket, and there are lots of suffering people around you, lost in illusion. And there's the practice of seeing that every movement they make, every bit of anger and gesture, is God - is the divine

Right now, Lisa makes my heart sing. 😊❤

I'm in love with this woman❤

Focus on what you ignore.

The honesty is overwhelming and most refreshing. I can breathe.

Nisargadatta, I think, said he he wasn't interested in magic & powers & stuff. I find them very interesting.

it is a naturale state that concicness devide itself to bodysminds and experiance the world as separate person...it must be so...the problam arise when we belive that we are limited as person (fear of death and seeking)

If it were so 'simple' you would have already experienced/Known non-duality, which you obviously do not. But don't let that stop you from talking about it... ;)

❤

I want more friends like what i’m hearing. Where are you now?

But I don’t care!! Thank you.

Ouch! So much held in that doesn’t have an expression. You have a gift of communication… I hope you realize that,

Thank you for speaking out about it

The lazy way….

🙏💝🌺🌼🌹💌

Brilliant! Thank you.

"Embracing the Present: Breaking Free from Emotional Escapism and the Illusion of Time" When it comes down to it, what you want to do is run away from what you feel, and you want to feel good. And you want to do it the lazy way by running into imagination and running into time. But this is what's happening. The feelings are what's happening. So if you're sat here and you're feeling ecstatic, or you're feeling uncomfortable, or you're feeling joy, that's what's happening. And there is no way out of what's happening in this moment. But what we want to do always is imagine getting out of this moment. So imagine this time when we're enlightened, or the time when it stops, or something else than what's happening. And you can't get out of what's happening. What's happening is what's happening. If there's an emotion there, there's an emotion there. If there's a repetitive story, there's a repetitive story. And in this moment, if you feel like a separate person, then you can work with it to relieve it a little. But it's not about imagining getting out of it or telling your stories about it. You can, you could just speak it out. You can just sit in your room and speak out the emotion. You can place the attention on the emotion or the sensation. But this whole dream of you that's trying to get away from it, and dreaming about getting the car, getting enlightened, going to the retreat and getting rid of it, or the next day or getting rid of it, is never going to help anything. That adds to it. That adds to the sense that this moment isn't enough, that there's something wrong with this moment. You want me to speak, and you want to hear words in order to try and escape something, to transform something. But this is what's happening. If it's there, it's there. If the contraction is there, it's there. If there's discomfort, it's there. I'm not saying don't listen, but that one that wants it-keeping it validated-it's true, you're not enough. This is it. This is God. This is it. And it's not easy, this transformation from being someone to hearing this. Because the "someone" is running in time, and it's got the momentum in time. And so that transformation to everything from that time-bound entity can be really uncomfortable. It's like a drug addict, the addiction of you. But that aliveness, that beingness, is there all the time. It's looking through, perfectly still. It's looking through the illusion of you, it's looking through the bodies, and it's never affected.

Strong message Lisa, beautifully said. Thank you. Love, Bill ❤

The 'law' of attraction is a fraud, absurd, and impossible in a non-dual Reality! Not even possible in a Duality! Know-it-all little girls...

She's so funny!! 😂

Hi Lisa, my son also doesn't have an identity, there is no identification or concept of time, past and future. He needs a caretaker for everyday nessesseties.... It is called autism but what I see is just innocent beautiful being who doesn't see personal problems... There is also frustration and joy etc but it is not being attached to somebody, there is difficulty to relate to others and to socialize. I suppose he lives in an non dual perception and we are trying to teach him the dual concepts just for him to be able to be a more independent human being. Seems that in our human society we need this kinds of concepts and skills to be able to be an oriented individual person able to function in the world.

So simple and yet…

Geese

So…don’t try to do anything?

There is Only the Same I', the Living Being, the Only Real Steady Point, in Existence, one of the reasons We dont 'see' it this way, is because We All have our very Own Eternal Consciousness.

❤🙏😍😘

Because consciousness experiences memories which is stores in the body, how do you respond to the stupidity of "past lives" that some alledged non-duality teachers spew?

Can you talk about self-hatred as an energetic contraction? Blame and punishment seem to be components of self-hatred. Yes, thank you. Roger, my main teacher, used to say that hatred was seeking. So not self-hatred, but the very nature of hatred was seeking. I always found that so aggressive, and I didn’t like him saying that because I didn’t want to see myself as hateful. What he means by that is this rejection, and then the tiny rejection of what’s happening that leads to immense hatred, if you see what I mean. So even though it might be just a small rejection, on bad days when it’s really touched, it can lead to big hatred. So healing self-hatred is the opposite of outward hatred. So rather than hating others, they are really the same in the end; if you hate others, you’re really hating yourself. So instead of hating others, you hate yourself and blame your suffering on yourself rather than on the external world. So instead of thinking, “I’m not getting something because of someone else” or “because of this,” it becomes, “It’s me, I did it, me, me, me, me, me.” So that would be shame and guilt, rather than pride and blame. All seeking is a contraction, so hatred is a contraction. And it’s kind of like if you look at Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings," it’s like the more you are identified, the more you hate, and the more it’s “me, me, mine,” and everything becomes about you. So Gollum was most likely extremely self-hating, and then he became obsessed with himself and incredibly greedy, like “everything is mine, mine, mine.” And that’s what it feels like when you’re deeply suffering, that you’re deeply contracted, internally deeply contracted. And as you feel happier, you’re lining up with oneness, and you feel more expanded. You can investigate this the next time you feel happier and notice that you feel bigger; you don’t feel like this tight wall inside. Roger used to talk about that, about contraction versus expansion, and as you feel more at peace and happy and contented, you naturally feel more expanded. And as you feel more hatred, either internal self-hatred or external hatred, you feel more contracted, and then you suffer more when you feel more contracted. Yeah, and blame and punishment, so it’s internal blame like shame, like “I am bad, I did something wrong,” instead of external blame like “they did it,” but it’s kind of the same thing. It’s just that instead of blaming this object, we’re blaming the other object. Why do we hate others if we know we’re really just hating ourselves? Misperception. It’s all very similar, but the hatred of others is, like you said when we spoke on Zoom, that they are not giving you what you want. Self-hatred is, “I am not giving myself what I want, I am bad, I am shameful, I am a failure, I messed everything up,” all these things. Whereas when you hate externally, it’s “they are not giving you what you want, you would be happy if they gave you what you want.” It’s like what you said, and both are really internal or external.

"I Lisa, I have listened to much of what you said over the years about how to work with patterned emotions in the body as they arise, even going to somatic therapy. But still, the most deeply ingrained emotions reoccur again and again, almost obsessively. I work with them just as you suggest-seeing them in the body, recognizing that they’re not me, that they arise from everything, and that they are nothing. Perhaps I am too much in my head, too impatient. I was pretty much abandoned as a child, so maybe this is just my legacy. Even in my therapies, you have helped me so much, Lisa. I’m so incredibly grateful. Thank you so much for your message. Yeah, these habits and these karmas can be deeply entrenched, and we’re talking thousands and thousands of years of them, so not just this lifetime. So, you know, try to have a bird’s-eye perspective on it and not have huge expectations. Yeah, and just more body work-somatic therapy, that’s fantastic that you’ve done that-but also body work like massage, Ayurvedic therapy, Shiatsu, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, stuff to help move it out. Chakra work to move it out of the energetic system. But yeah, I still have habits and conditions arising that I have to work on, but as they begin to settle down more-and maybe you can’t necessarily see this-but as they do, the nonduality can be explored more. The 'who are you?' You might not really notice it, and it’s very hard to consider what you were like five years ago compared to what you’re like now, but… I forgot what I was going to say. Yeah, that is most being explored at a deeper level now. You might not notice it, but who is the one that has the feelings? In the end, you’re not really going to find respite from settling down the person. There’s not really going to be an end to that. You’re going to settle it down, it’s going to soothe out, but you won’t find respite. The respite will be that movement into Consciousness. So, for me, the relief didn’t really come, even though I did so much work on myself, and it did settle down after like 15 years of work on it. It did settle down, but what really relieved it was that shift-that was what really changed things-that shift to Consciousness, that it’s not you. Yeah, so don’t let that thought that nothing’s changed, or it’s getting worse, or I’m doing it wrong, or I’m too much in my head… The thoughts are very good-it’s like thumbnails on KZfaq, you know, they’re very good at grabbing attention. KZfaq is like a presentation of what your mind is thinking-not really-but like these titles and these pictures. So, that’s what thoughts do, that 'Okay, what can I do to keep the momentum going of seeking?' Thank you so much for your question."

I am quite old and my whole life has been about liberation. Had a guru once and meditated for decades, still do. I now live alone after my wife died eight years ago. I have not one friend left and consider ending my life as I suffer. But I still dream of escaping hell. If anything despite a few huge liberated experiences I am deeper in poo than ever....sorry to whine.

From an absolute point of view I do not exist. From a relative pov, I do. Although this is all a mirage, and isn't true, it is as real as any dream. In the relative world we will be reborn along with our karma. I suspect there is no escape.

What happens when we die? Do we bring our karma to the next life? Well, the question is, who is the person that would bring its karma to the next life, and what does next life mean? So in the Buddhist groups that I studied with, they believed in rebirth and habits and conditions being reborn. So, if you look at like golden retrievers, which are dogs, and when they breed them, they often pick the breeding couple to exacerbate certain traits. So maybe good-natured, good sense of smell, interest in food, so then you can train them better, intelligence, and then they will breed them, and then they will hope that the puppies have more of those traits, and then they'll pick the puppies with those traits. And that's how you get selective breeding, you know, from the wolf that was very aloof and not very cooperative, but to an extent to a golden retriever, which is like a super cooperative dog that's been trained to retrieve, you know, birds that are shot out of the sky, which is very different from the original wolf that it came from. So you could say like, you can look at it like that, like the habits and conditions are reborn, and sometimes, you know, you get a baby golden retriever, and it's just like the mom, you know, or the dad. But if we get creative with our thinking minds, we can see it more like that, like the habits and conditions of being reborn. There's not actually somebody, because who is the 'you'? So when you deeply know who you are, you realize that it can't be you whose habits and conditions are reborn, but yet I would also agree that when you die, your karma goes into the next life. But it's not your karma. It's not your habits and conditions. In a way, you could say the 'you' or 'you' is part of the habits and conditions.

❤🙏

You were just rambling about nothing and I suddenly saw an image of me within "my" nothingness 😀 Thanks for nothing

20 minutes in and you've talked about nothing. Stay on topic would be my advice

Nice. Thanks for sort of stepping back a moment, placing the teaching in a context, as much as non dual can be contextualized. Sometimes the 'context' is what I need, the step back from the river of content. Peace

Love is not empty, gurl. It's not unconditional, but you just will never learn. I accept the flaws that you don't, and vice-versa. Pick an object, and love it. Take your lava-lamp for example. It's beautiful. But what is it, exactly? You can take it apart. It doesn't feel pain like you, but it's made of the same stuff. You gotta know what it is.

Nice hair cut 🗿

Original Video 21/7-24: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jN9hdKiT3czLqIk.html "Exploring Consciousness: From Separate Self to Everything and Nothing" So as long as there is a sense of a separate "I," is it possible to experience big consciousness? Actually, with big consciousness, you can't ever experience it. So even when there's no "I" there, it cannot be experienced because it's not a thing in the world. It's all things and no things. But, um, but... So what has to happen in the beginning is the identification with the seeking, which creates an illusory "I," has to drop. And then there has to be an experience of going back into pure consciousness and the nothing and everything. And then eventually, after a while, the character comes back. And then there is a living between being a character and not being a character. And when that comes about, then it's kind of consciousness is always known, but not by someone. It's like you're on the precipice of nothing and everything. But there is still a character, there is a character that comes back in order for functioning to happen. Because when you have the samadi experiences or you have the experience of going back into the absolute, it can be very disarming with human functioning. You can't really function. So a lot of teachers go into silence for many years or into retreat for many years because it's so absorbing that not much can happen. So eventually what has to happen is the character has to come back to an extent in order to allow more complex functioning to happen. But it's different for everyone in the end. So I say this, but that's from my own experience and from what I've read from other people. But I don't know if that's the same for everyone. Who knows in the end? These things that we're talking about are so specific and unknowable.

Sound quality of speaker needs attention because it's difficult to hear important message clearly.

Thanks!
