Color of pants of your skinny girlfriend is a concept.

Pants of your skinny girlfriend is a concept.

Skinniness of your girlfriend is a concept.

Your girlfriend is a concept.

"You" as you think is also a concept.

These concepts arise in your consciousness.

So drop the concepts and experience who you are.

Pure consciousness!

Advaita !!!

The development of alleged "siddhis" or mystical powers hasn't a thing to do with contemplation, at least no more so than anything else.

This enlightenment thing is about finding Your truth. Why discuss Tony Parsons interpretation of his truth? Teachers can help you get a bigger picture, map your lies, but ultimately You are the only authority in your search, you have to go alone. What is your experience? Tony Parsons is inside your reality that you are inquiring, so how can he be your authority? Being one with everything isn't the point, only a side effect. The point is realizing the Only truth there is in Your reality.

"there’s no one sitting in this room; there is no one. there is no separate individual. all there is, is what’s happening." but what is it that's happening? tony parsons would charge me with being a seeker. but of course! that's what drives the happening. he's not answering any questions. rather, he's using self-confirming logic to explain his points. I take advaita very seriously, but I think there is indeed something flawed about his solution, and the solution of many that came before him.

How am I going to tell you that Tony Parsons is controlled by a devil? It will seem laughable to you.

How do you know that this is not true though? Arent you bored of lies? Dont you long for real love, and real answers?

Dont you long for the truth? Why do you assume out of the billions of souls on earth, this one person is telling you the truth, have you not heard that there are even many teachers of similar concepts, and even they do not agree? Why then, gamble your life on this man?

@MrSigma That is funny. that is pretty funny



[MicOnTesting]

Parsons speaks of the teacher who thinks they are enlightened but are not.

A teacher who insists on specific practices to do in order to become enlightened.

A teacher who speaks to seekers as separate entitles.

Most teachers I know of - don't claim to be enlightened, don't claim there to be practices that an I can do to be free of I, and don't claim to see others as separate from the Self...

So why bother with other teachers?

Does he need to distinguish himself from others?

@MrSigma or don't drop the concepts & never experience who you are...it matters not.

[EdenConsciousness]

@LooksAeterna Thoughts happen, actions happen. No one's doing them. Maybe the thoughts which appear in consciousness have the the mental label "choice" attached to them, but that label is itself just another thought arising spontaneously in consciousness. Thoughts spring forth spontaneously in the Oneness; you cannot predict what your next thought will be.

@MrSigma except that there is no-one who can drop the concepts...

[JonMcIntyre68]

@MrSigma And even the idea that we have consciousness wherein things can arise is an idea. Things just arise, apparently but they arise in no one's consciousness and arise for no one. They simply arise, apparently.
