ego loss/realizations

and what i was saying, is that sometimes differences aren't such a bad thing.

 

they arent good or bad imo

that green is not red does not evoke emotion in me

 

but for alot of people it does. understanding why is what leads to higher understanding and transcendence... stairway to heaven - every step is just as important as the next one.

but now im just talking out of my ass, lol.

 

Well, I've heard of people talking out of both sides of their face, but the vocal dexterity of any member of that system known as the ass, is very much in doubt. What does it mean to you that "transcendence" means to go beyond perception?

 

I think ego loss is often comparable to the Taoist quote-

"The Tao that can be told,
Is not the eternal tao.
The name that can be named,
Is not the eternal name."

 

As soon as I realized my ego was potentially gone, my potential ego was telling me that my ego was potentially gone, it's like three halves of a split whole that keep eating each other to no end.

 

Oh....my.....god

 

I like the art in this thread; it makes me feel like I'm in France or SoHo. I would add a realization to this thread if this acidic delicacy were accessible to me.

 

iv always likened the expirience to that feeling you get when you'v been under water for a really long time and your in desprate need of oxegen. your fighting and hurting and its real intence until you break the surface of the water and take the biggest breath of air in your life. the dying process is like that for me, its that breath of fresh air that disolves the pressure that has been accumulating from under water.

its always felt real familiar too me. everything disapears, which is to say nothing means anything or is held on to. nothing is clung to for comfort, nor anything held by feelings of obligation, no fear...no more pressure...everything cleased by the void, that thin film between the water and air that you'v just passed through.

im a scorpio with a piceas moon (means im kinda fucked like this ) constantly re-enacting these cycles of death and rebirth in life.

 

'because everything is connected and everything is beautiful
now i know just where i stand'

 

beautiful huh..

 

everything is connected, all people all living beings are connected. glad to see this thread still thriving.

 

although simple, that realization can be so amazing.

 

it means that you aren't paying close enough attention.

if you truly understood the state of ego loss then you wouldn't need to keep re-enacting it. in the words of fight club - hitting rock bottom isn't a weekend retreat.

scorpio with an aries moon here.

 

Huh?

 

There's a whole lot of "huh?" in this thread.

 

whaaa? riighhhtttt

 

You think huh because it really doesn't matter. Pay attention don't pay attention, because there are all sorts of things to pay attention to. A lot of what you pay attention to depends on your personal values. I certainly don't want to pay attention to how I seem to fit in amongst a crowd of people known as society that run around concerned about just that. I also certainly don't need to pay attention to the energy. It just manifests by itself (I feel like doors have been opened for good). Paying attention to now is simply just being without thinking too much.

 

I say huh because I want to know what it is he thinks I have missed.
