Recognizing and Being Consciousness (Excerpt)

Quote from this Video: “The whole nature of seeking keeps reinforcing that what you’re looking for isn’t present now.”

There is certainly a reason for the happiness. It is the mind aspect which has found what it was always looking for.

“Who” is being challenged tho if no one is here as a doer?

*the spiritual search is Fortunate and unfortunate.
Facts. Worst possible 10 years of my life give or a take a few peak, blissed out, fleeting moments.
The other 99.999% has been horrendous confusion, nearly constant suicidality, horrific depressions, pointlessness, futility, nihilism and hopelessness.
I feel as if I’ve been sentenced to hell, and Catholic school of my childhood installed an unending guilt, shame program and pure terror of a hell worse than this when I die.
I wish I’d just never found any of this stuff honestly 😤

Just give up the idea that you need to be anybody other than who you are. Like he says - the problem is seeking. Be human. Feel ALL of it. Stop thinking you can find some state where you will never suffer or feel pain. That's the problem with Adyshanti and all gurus - they give you the idea that this 'happiness' they speak of is permanent. Not so long as you're in a body my friend. Not so long as you have a body. Pain comes with the suit. You will never find some perfect state - and he is suggesting you can find that state - that you will forever be in that state. Never gonna happen. Be bold - be human - stop searching.

How do you know what anyone else’s experience is.
I don’t disagree but we can’t possibly know another’s experience.
I believe the freedom from pain and suffering being referred to is identifying with a self that suffers it, not actual freedom from pain.
Pain happens but there’s no self there to personalize it and claim it because it’s been seen through as illusion.
So rather than “I’m” in pain it would be “pain is happening here.”
Idk. Just my take on it.

Thank you so much!! You have helped me a tremendous amount to see my own mind. To let go. Blissful freedom.

Deep appreciation for the sharing of this wisdom 💫

When trying to grasp bliss it slips away. Bliss should be seen a side effect of recognizing the individual truth.
