Tom, you need a bit more consistency, if we are to make some sense of these discussions. 

You can't say the self exists, and a couple of days later that it doesn't. You just agreed that it does exist--but it's all one--you added. Now you kept the addition but reversed its existence...

 Not quite. That's just possession, wanting to conquer.

There is no partial seeing, Tom. One either sees the whole thing or they don't see a thing.

A 'bird conciousness' link; Sort've a pleasant departure, from thinking about 'human conciousness' ad infinitum! [ :

Don't call it an illusion before you're free of it. Otherwise it's just a speculation. Always look at the facts, not as you'd like the facts to be, Tom.

Troy: # 521 ' On the contrary, intelligence is awakened and everything falls onto its 'right' place. No need to analyze anything: everything is seen immediately, as clear as one might see a tree situated in front of them.'  That's maybe so - but there is absolutely still sadness that comes up frequently despite what you say.   But see, this present moment, i'm distracted in the match - Karjakin and Magnus- i'm following that right now   -I hope you both have a really good weekend ! *And SA !

Onabike only comes here occasionally , Tom. She enjoys a simple life, in the countryside, telling from the videos she posted. Quite a rare inclination these days.

Oops, she actually came back while I was writing about her. Haha!

 Sorry, onabike, but there is never a single moment of sadness or boredom once intelligence has been awakened.

What there is, is just energy, unlimited energy that pours in, day and night. Pure, unlimited bliss without a cause.

It only keeps pouring because there's no desire to hold on to it.

Don't be a stranger! There's lots to talk about!

- Troy- 'There is  just energy'..  Honestly maybe the feeling sadness .. is different now    I think you said something  ..   No there is no boredom! 

Thhinking originating from itself is, indeed, a drag. Thinking as an expression originating from the source is something entirely different.

 Boredom and sadness kinda go together.

But sadness implies desires, goals,frustration,bitterness, attachment--all that. And such feelings, also energy, are contradictory, creating friction, and so the energy they produce is quite different than the energy present when sadness is non-existent.

Quite a different field. No friction, no regrets.

75 in Beverly Hills, and rising. Beautiful day!

Oops, just going to a fundraiser...
