That´s it, Stephen!

Every experience - every object - every thought - every feeling/emotion is just an appearance that comes and goes - floating cloudlike through the open sky of Awareness - our NATURAL STATE, that is always untouched&unaltered by any of it.

And that is the great Liberation - the home, you never left.

YOU ARE THAT!

Consiousness, Absolute speaks from Steve Wolinsky in very explicit, eloquent and clear way, right to the point, drives Truth home right into "your" brain...:)

@PureSEEing PERFECT THANKS

[jandereiziger]

Is he saying that one can only have experiences if one is alive and that experiences are personal? Duhh... Doesn't sound like rocket science.

@bubbagogo

when you say 'i am this" you associate yourself with it. if you say 'i am that' you disassociate. try yourself on any object and observe your feeling

[bubbagogo]

I wonder why he allowed his book to be called "I am that' when he repeatedly said, "you are not this or that"?

[QuiteNot]

@yourdearmirror i think he meant "spiritual experiences" do not mean anything they are just illusions your brain creates.

I think progress is doing more stuff u love. Balancing your life better. Look after your heart, when you do something u hate or are suddenly pulled away from something u love u experience heart ache. Do stuff u love to do, that makes u alive and more present, more conscience of your surroundings.

Peace

it is do defective that I am going strait away to kill Stephen  Wolinsky

He is just an illusion anyway. So how can you blame be for killing nothing.

Stephen, please wait where you are. Do not be afraid as you think I also is an illusion

[yourdearmirror]

If you define "illusion" to be something that not have any existence, then how can nothing talk about something. I know that nothing in this relative world is illusion as everything is a creation of the divine. Stephens words are an intellectual extravagance, and it is very defective for human mind to go in to that sort of teaching.

Spiritual realization and experience is the hope people have to trust, when everything else is full of the same confusion like Stephen
