Apropos of this, here are a few related posts by @_OM.
Related: but a more reminder to myself for a discussion on another day.
I see some understandable misconceptions about what the non-dual is in this thread.
I was going to write a long wall of text but realized it would probably upset everyone except a handful of people here.
So instead I’ll leave this seed and let it grow… assuming it isn’t immediately uprooted by one’s beliefs.(Please do not @ me if this bothers you. Your “beef” is with everything you were taught being “wrong” and at the “Universe”)
Will start with the picture above as a “clue”
Yang = Light = Manifest = Masculine = Giving = Positive Polarity = Creation = Service to Others = Space/time
Yin = Darkness = Void = Feminine = Receptive = Negative Polarity = Destruction = Service to Self = Time/space
Non-dual by definition means “NOT two” ie the balance or integration of the seemingly “dual” nature of the Universe.
I just want to add one thing, because I think it’s important
“See me, hear me, feel me… me and my story… before judging”.
Every. single. person. on. earth. feels this way.
There is no monopoly on this feeling for those that hurt or have had a bad upbringing.In fact, those of higher consciousness actually feel MORE deeply and therefore HURT more deeply and are LESS understood than others…ask anyone who just took the Energy Awareness class.
But you know where people LISTEN and UNDERSTAND and don’t judge?
the next planes…Literally, the first “half” of time spent on the next level up is ALL about hearing and understanding and having compassion for everyone’s unique experiences and coming together under Unity.
The goal of this plane, as nearly every spiritual teaching has said, is to “graduate” out of it so one can actually enjoy all the goodness of those other planes where all these things like “super-saiyan” powers and “understanding and unity” are quite the norm and appreciated.
Sorry, I didn’t make these “rules” … you’ll have to talk to our local Star about that
umm. are you being cheeky or?
Cause this is pretty much how it works already.
we kicked way too much ass in life
Yeah not so much this tho
More like a video game that’s supergood/hard that we ragequit and, of course, come back to, after a day or two of cooling off.What if on most planets people never really die. Everyone is immortal. Or they just respawn to the nearest temple and keep on going, no memories lost
Every “body” dies eventually. Even beings known as “stars”.
But yes, on every other plane, (and in earlier versions of this game) one doesn’t lose one’s past memories, so it’s like a respawn.hardcore mode
Yep. Explained this to someone via PM
Our “Sun” being (and others around us) decided to create the most difficult “hardcore” version of this “game” as their “experiment”. ie. no past life memories, no underlying “knowingness” of one’s immortality or connection to “God”, etc.In retrospect, and when I’m feeling like @Samurai,
it’s kinda been a clusterfuck overall, but indeed, some felt earlier versions of the game were “too easy”, but this version of the game might be just a little too hard.
