Life as it "IS", Jeff Foster

[youbloodybetcha]

I differ a bit with @sufimann. Yes, this "everything" is prior to thought, but NOT prior to consciousness. In point of fact it IS CONSCIOUSNESS - the VERY consciousness YOU'RE experiencing RIGHT NOW!

[sufimann]

Oh dear, how can someone miss so much?! What this wee boy is talking about is merely entering the spiritual path. He has dropped his intellectual seeking, this for the mystery schools of old was when someone was qualified to be a disciple not the state of enlightenment. Blows my mind how folks in the west, think they know the masters because they read some books and meditated for a couple of years, astounding ignorance

@sufimann You haven't seen what he's pointing to, you only think you have. This isn't about "intellectual seeking", it's about the mind's constant searching for everything but This, everything but what's prior to thought, prior even to consciousness. False teachers play a game of addition; "there's so much to do, so much to add. Stay with me and after a long time you just might get it!" Foster and other true teachers are about subtraction, not addition.

I like what this guy sys. what I don't understand is why he took such a long hard road to find what had been staring him in the face the hole time. Spiritual teachings are redundant.

The waiting game I love it. I feel like you are describing exactly what I'm going through Jeff.

What is the cure for ego and separation. In my experience it would be a direct perception of reality. Im sitting here watching this video, my tv is on, there is also thoughts and emotions. At this point say oh there's a thought, say it to urself what the thought said if you need too. Then you see oh theres an emotion. Don't link thought, emotion and what is happening all together. So in a way theres three experiences. What is happening, a thought and an emotion. This is just a pointer.

Yeah it's like looking a horse on wich you sit on! Indeed it's a matter of the feeling of beeing seperated, but we are all oneness!

And even these are just thoughts ;-)

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.......

I've heard the same message so many times, and every time it's a surprise. The mind slips by it so easily.

everyone fails to awaken

[lukeddj]

we all fail to awaken, because we already are 'awake'. :-)
