Answer to a question about what is the best technique to become enlightened, or gain the pure seeing. The question was if meditation, or self inquiery was more effective. Or if ther vere nothing to do to make the shift happen.

My answer:

In absolute terms there is nothing we can do to make the shift of consciousness come around. It either happens or it does´nt. I could tell you or someone else to “give up” or to “see things just as they are”. Any way or description is the same when it actually take place.
To put it simple, since this is the simplest thing – I would still say this:
put your full trust, in what you dont know anything about.
Thats it.
The term for describing the putting of the total trust in the unknown is commonly the term (having) “Faith”…
The meaning of having faith, is the opposite of “believing” or having strong belief.
Faith, you hav in the unknown. Faith is synonymous with taking full responsibility, for ones life. Not…not trusting in anyone.
Being IT. With no questions left. Just accepting the not knowing and accepting everything as it is. Even acceting that we know what we know (or seem to) and we dont know what we dont know.
What hapens then is that knowing and not knowing becomes the same thing.
And since we dont wonder about anything, we can see everything immediately and clear. No thoughts are there anymore to disturb the perception.
But the perception is that of “noone” or “the beeingness itself, not separate from anything, and with no sense of beeing an “I” or experiencing.
Still we can , I can (I use the word I) tell a story about it. Its a story that is not true, and there is neither an “I” telling the story or believing it. Still the story is told…
So, even if there is nothing “you” can do to make it happen, It is happening, and the circumstances surrounding you putting this question and me answering it, is what really happens.
These circumstances is the Karma – and Karma is a conceptual word for describing the two concepts intention and effect.
Your intention is not something you can accieve, and neither is the effect in this case, namely “my answear”.
But you did put the question and I answered it.
So, maybe a good advice is to relax, stop searching, and start finding.
UG Krishnamurti said: ” One thing I know, and that is that as long as we are searching for happieness, we will not find it”. Free interpretation of his words though..
I used to escape my troubles, by beeing in the “now”. Since I did that many times every day, I think maybe it helped me to come closer to just beeing. Maybe not.
Meditation is probably a good thing to do, though even if it does not make us enlightened it will help us find the harmony to certain exstent.
Surrender, or not believing ones own thoughts, is two meditations that I can recommend doing all the time, several months in a row.
Having faith, is another, and the same.
I read a few things by Jiddu Krishnamurti about self inquiery. It helped me to take my own reflections upon my own thoughts seriously. And maybe that helped me as well.
To drop it.
To stop becoming.
To have faith.
To see – what is.
What is actually there/here/everywhere.
It doesnt look very profound at first.
It looks like nothing.
But its the seeing of things as they are, that is the big change.
Thoughts will stop. Really… they will stop.
Some thoughts will come but you will see, that the thoughts are not your, or you. Its just. thoughts.
So, who are You? The questin that will make you see. You are nothing that you can put into some sort of conceptiual description.
You are the beeing of whatever you are. Namely the beeingness itself.
Not apart from anything.
Best whishes

Answer to: Do We Have a Soul? Is reincarnation real?

He:

“It seems u see things very clear without doubt. Did this all came out of the (non) realisation or also from reading? Reason i ask is because there is a feeling that it has to come from own experience.

Also read some of ur reaction to someone talking about soul etc after birth. I have such fear that we have a soul. Don t ask me why lol i don t know. A lot of irrational fears. Believing we are one, kind of makes me feel at rest. But still there is doubt what is really truth.”

Me:

“Realization is instant and that means we realize EVERYTHING – instantly. Dressing this truth in words may take a while though. If you try to. Of course its impossible to dress the truth in lies. Some “people” never try to communicate the impossibility of communication – to verbally communicate the impossibility of verbal communication… They may be the ones that is most grounded in the absolute, but not necessarily, since no conclusions is ever possible to draw. Only a person, an individual believing in his own existence, draws conclusions.

We draw conclusions with our conditioned mind. We project. If we are still believing individuals, continuously becoming our conditioned mind.

Our projections is always the outcome of a conditioned (narrrow) MINDED perspective. When trapped in that illusionary state, we can not see anything BUT our “own” made up truth.

Its nothing wrong with being a dreamer, if we like our dream. But its a dream. Or, lets say, its just One of an infinity of possible dreams. And this infinity of dreams, of possible realities, if seen simultaneously, leaves you with no certainty of anything. Actually you see that you are nothing except for this seeing, which has no limit, so you are everything without an end or beginning.

It feels similar to being in awe. But there is noone beeing anything but what IT is. Its the beeing itself. The beeing beeing the beeing.

Thats all.

So, here I am talking. It seems. But I am not. Not really. Talking happens through this spot in everything which used to believe in his own existence. It sound as a perfect excuse. As a made up and undefeatable argument. But noone here believes in arguments. So its not really a discussion. Its “what is” manifesting as a human beeing without a mind.

Thats all.

And this is what “what is” does. Thats all. Apparently.

So keeping quiet or talking is not important. And noone can tell from that, if its “what is” talking or “what is” keeping quiet. “What is” never talks or keep quiet.

It just happens. It just IS what it is. Thats what “what is” does. It is the beeing in itself. It IS the doing. With emphasis in IS. It is Issing the Issnes. Thats all. Thats the only happening taking place.

We humans interpret it as something else, that we recognize. We assume stuff. Thats what minds do.

Assume stuff based on assumptions, based on assumptions.

There is a soul – to answer your question. For those believing in a soul, there is a soul.

For those not believing in a soul, there is no soul.

I too would be scared shitless, if I was a person, and believed in a soul.

Most people want to believe in a soul, and they will have their soul, again and again.

It doesnt remember stuff, and it isnt guided by guides and stuff, unless it believes in guides. Then it will be. But its a dream.

If you believe in Jesus, you will meet jesus, and if you believe in, and fear hell, you will go to hell. But its just a dream. And its not for eternity. But it may feel like it.

Whatever you believe will come true. Thats all. Thats a fact. That applies to this life too. Whatever you expect or fear WILL BE your experience. For good and for worse. So dont paint the devil on the door. Celebrate the good things. Do nothing else. Be greatful. That way you will see the good things and create good things. In reality it doesnt matter. We dont have a choise. And we learn in the speed that we do learn. When having a negative experience, embrace the learning, and the actuallity of it all. Dont resist. Be sad when sad. Totally sad. Then you can go on, when sadness is dealt with. Not reinforced by resistence to it.

When the made up soul have learned that there is no soul, it wont believe in a soul anymore. And then there is no soul. Thats the end.

But if we believe in a soul, even the slightest, then there is a soul. It will appear again on earth. As a worm, a snail, a wasp or a buddha.

I think I am still a believer. I think deep inside me there is someone that believes in something. Or I dont think so, but I am open to the possibility. I dont know. I dont know anything. It seems reasonable that there is some belief hidden inside me. Somewhere. And if there is, I will continue to exist. To suffer death and illness and loss and trauma.

I am not scared of suffering, but like jesus, hanging on the cross, we may see when faced with the reality of intensed suffering, that we cant stand it.

Doubt is belief.

Believing is doubting.

“What is” just is what it is.

Happy new instant everyone!

Dont forget to see the eternal now, every now and again. And again.

Its all there is.

Du är det du är.
Du är inte din eller andras berättelse om dig.
Du är inte vad du tror. Du är inte tro. Du är inte tro på personlig framgång eller nederlag.
Du är inte misslyckad. Du är inte en succé.
Du är.
Vi kan aldrig veta vad detta är, detta vad vi är.
Vetande tillhör drömmen.
Se denna din oförmåga till vetande.
Allt vi tror oss veta är egentligen något vi tror.
När vi verkligen vet något, blir ordet “veta” överflödigt.
Vi vet då att vi vet, och utan tvivel finns ej ens en diskussion kring detta vetande.
Vi kan bara se. Bara falla fritt i flödet som är Allt, som är det som ÄR.
Vad är vi i allt detta?
Och hur lyckades vi ställa oss utanför allt som är vad det är?
Är Gud min beskrivning utav Gud? Och hur lyckades jag göra Gud så otroligt liten, och relativ till mina och andras tolkningar utav min beskrivning?
Du är allt.
Du är ej separerad från någonting.
Allt du gör förändrar världen för all framtid.
Detta nu sitter ihop med evigheten åt alla håll.
Tiden är inte linjär. Tiden är inte ett streck genom stjärnhimlen, och ett ögonblick har ingen tjocklek. Ingen början. Inget slut.
Lev.
Se ditt levande.
Älska utan villkor eller exkluderande.
Hur kan vi säga vad eller vem som är värda vår kärlek.
Vad är då vår kärlek?
Gränslös? Evig? Oändlig?
Kärlek är allt som finns. Själva livskraften.
Resten är påhitt.
Allt annat förändras. Allt utom själva förändringen i sig självt.
Ur ingenting har allt du ser kommit.
Och tillbaka till ingenting ska vi åter.
Vi kan vinka till varandra här idag. Skratta åt det fantastiska att vi kan vinka. Att vi kan se oss själva genom andras ögon och se varandra (oss själva) genom “våra egna”.
Det finns bara en dans. Och den är överallt.
Det är allt som finns.
Och när du följer med i dansen upphör allt motstånd i universum ögonblickligen. Utan fördröjning.
Allt motstånd fallar in i mellanrummet du skapat mellan då och sedan.
Nästa ögonblick tillåts vara vad det är, och blir inte en fotostatkopia utav det förflutna. Inte en reaktion, men en förändring.
Något nytt föds ur din dans.
Och du har gjort vad ingen människa tidigare lyckats med.
Du har förändrat allt som är, genom att inte reagera.
Le, fira, dansa, se.
Älska, skratta, gråt, fall, flyt.
Förlåt, ske, var varat… eller… ära ärigheten.

My body took a walk…

I am just sitting here.

A few hours ago I took a walk. I was sitting on the shoulders of my body, watching it travel through universe. At the moment I (and my body) was crossing a bridge in central Stockholm close to the Central Station.

I saw how my body was walking and slowly moving through universe as it seamed. But in what direction, that was impossible to say. There are no directions, or, if we say there are, then there is all directions simultaneously.

The expansion of the universe, the orbid of the earth. The turning of the milky way, the earths motion around its own axis. And me crossing that bridge.

Who knows in what direction my so called body was moving.

And the motion of the neutrons and atoms inside the body itself. Atoms temporarily glued together by whatever force. I dont know much about physics. And that is ok.

I know I dont know and never will know.

I have always known this. But this knowing used to scare my when I was younger. Everyone else seamed to know who they were. The pretense was immaculate.

Now it doesnt scare me anymore. I sometimes long for someone to talk to. Someone who see the world as I do. But there is no one.

Its a lonely business, not existing 🙂

And not even feeling lonely, just seeing the potential lonelyness. But since there is no mind and no body, there is no mind meeting the body and therefore no emotions. And still sometimes there is vague feelings. But then there is not belief in those feelings, and therefore they don grew to all mighty proportions. Just waves, on the ocean.

The ocean that is not me. Just some sort of ocean of all there is…

Thank you for existing fellow bloggers. You offer some comfort.

I am just sitting here.

It appears as if I am.

I dont know anything.

When one have seen “what is”…

When one have seen “what is”… there is no doubt about it. Dont let anyone make you believe anything else. There are people out there who make have an agenda, hidden even from them self. They may have been through the process of enlightenment or whatever one may want to call it. Its just a word for the undescribable.

To see “what is”, means to see that you are allready “that”. But obviously you havent seen that properly before.

You allways were that. But you was in illusion of beeing someone. This illusion is not a problem for those who dont feel trapped by it. But this identification with mind actually creates suffering all around you. You are allready “that”. There is nothing to become.

When seeing this, one no longer is persistent in an argument. One does not have an opinion founded on words spoken or written. One does not believe in ones own words. So, consequenttly, there is no one to listen to or to trust.

You can only trust in your own experience once you have had it. And if you have had it, you no longer ask questions. If you ask questions after “seeing What is” you no longer ask questions in order to know.

“seeing what is” means the end of the need to know, or the end to have affirmation.

If you need affirmation, you are not free.

If you still have questions you are not free.

To the player, I want to say, Its a game, I know, but remember, you are just a card, and that by choise.

All the best. Avaloki/John doe/ seeingwhatis/joakim

You are perfect.

You may not know this.

But you are perfect already.

You don’t have to change.

You only have to stop becoming – to be happy for all time to come.

The hardest thing to believe. That you are ok.

You tell yourself every day, every minute, that you can do better, be better, be more beautiful, nicer, or loose some weight.

Be a better parent. A better lover. Better in bed.

You dont have to change.

See this.

And that will be the only change necessary.

After accepting yourself, you will accept most people around you. And they can be at their best. When you dont judge them like you judge yourself.

Tell them this:

“You are perfect.”

And watch their reaction.

They will resist, and insinuate that you are not perfect either.

Funny. 🙂

Insist. You are perfect, and so are they.

This is the truth.

I promise.

Something you dont know about your self.

You are perfect.

You dont have to change,

You can stop adapting now, and stop becoming.

You are already it. Everyone are, but few recognize this.

After realizing this, people may tell you you are not it. Still.

But that simply isn’t true.

The only thing that wasn’t you, was the thing you had to become, but never succeeded to become.

The dream.

Wasn’t perfect.

Wasn’t you.

Welcome home. You are home now.

Where you can rest in your self.

You see, wanting this to happen, is just another phrasing of “I doubt what I see” or “I doubt it can happen” or “I doubt that I can see what is there to see in front of me”.
There is nothing to doubt.

You can see this. You are seeing it. But you are doubting what you see. Who is doubting? Who does not want to see? Well… the one that cant see it, the “thoughts” or the “ego”.
Ego/thoughts is afraid it will vanish if this is seen. And that it will 🙂
So dont listen to thoughts. They will try to trick you into questioning things, which is a state of pure thought.
So dont question your ability too see this, that “this is it”.

If you get a glimpse of “this is it”, then you should write down the “thought” that led you to it, or what you did when you saw it. This is a gateway for fast acces to this seeing, if it goes away.
Then just sit and do this seeing again and again, and remember what you did (in detail) last time or the first time you dropped thought and saw that “this is it”.

You may now drop all practices except the one that works for you. Just access the “seeing” and See.

You dont have to meditate ever again. Just See.
See that “THIS is IT”. All there is.

Only you can do this. No one else can do it for you. You have to get in charge. There are no gurus you know. The guru is within (you).

You may also combine this seeing  with asking: “Who am I”.
Any answer you get, you dismiss. And you see that “I am not that which I can see or think about”: I am the see:er prior to that.
Then you may see, that you are nothing. And you are also ALL that you can see. You are all that. You are IT.
This is it – and you are not separated from it, so you are it.
This is God within (and in front of you)This is all that can happen. Nothing else. But there is no limit to how wonderful this seeing is.
And you will understand that you understand all there is. You will get knowledge of everyting you ever questioned.

I forgot to forget that I was  – and wasn’t – and not wasn’t.

So I became. and wasn’t until I disappeared and became.

I saw nothing through the mist between Now, but you saw your self, and followed You with stoic trust, to Is as in Life which is Good. Between motion which is all we know, but all except everything.

 

Anser to the question: Are you an enlightened beeing?

To know beauty said:

Thank you for visiting my blog. May I ask you if you consider yourself an Awakened/Enlightened being, and if so would you consider sharing what led you to your Awakening? Much gratitude.

My answer:

Hi,
this question doesnt want to be answered with a yes or no. Language consists of concepts through out so answearing with words makes the answer untrue. Also what I mean with words is not how people in general interpret them. But I want to answer your question. You want me to so I want to. I could say yes, what you mean by that, I am, and so are you, you may know it or not, that is the difference.
The person that I believed myself to be, saw through the illusion of his own existence and enlightenment happened. This is actually a non-event. I stopped becoming something I was not, and then what was left was what is real. Only seeing, of what is.
Seeing without concepts is like a peripherical seeing where nothing is more importent then anything else. No focus at all.
First in this seeing we can see what is.
When this happens all thoughts go away and the world appears silent. The noice in the head is gone.
For me, what happened was that my entire world broke down, and the pain was anbearable. I was willing to take any way out of the misery. I could still enjoy sunshine and had a good hunch about that life could be enjoyable, so taking my life was something that didnt feel right.
So I lived on, though thoughts was torturing me.
I thought life was unfair. I wanted to change the past and the mind of other people. Impossible things.
I had read books of Tolle and they helped me in the moment, but first after seeing videos with Tony Parsons I saw that I shared this perspective.
I saw that I was only the consciousness, and that this consciousness could see the world, or “what is” without words.
Then I asked myself if the seer himself could be seen. If the perciever of all this could be percieved. When I asked myself this question, I saw that I was not separated from that, what I saw. I was it. I was everything, and I allowed it. I allowed everyone into me. Into myself and I expanded into it.
But… just by seeing that all there is is this, what I see, and understanding that I had not really seen anything in the world before… just by seeing that “this is it” all my conditioning fell away. All of it.
I think this is unusual. It happened to Ekhard Tolle.
Then I understood that if I dont try to change anything, or hold on to anything, not even enlightenment, then it will not go away (probably) and it didnt.
I went into a state where there were no difference between beeing awake or asleep. I never dreamed, and just dreamed about an invisible image and an unhearable sound.
Just dreaming “I am” but without the words.
All my problems went away immediately and also all problems other people had because of me.
They could now see themself.
I had become a non.reactive point in universe through which negativity went away, didnt bounce.
It was all love.
Only love left.
Strange. I saw I didnt exist.
I dont know what to say.
Remember, you are perfect. Everyone is, but most dont see that.
We judge others as we judge ourself.
So, in order to love we have to surrender.
Face life totally and accept things as they are.
I guess thats it.
