Haha there’s a lot we subtly hold onto without realising! Glad you found some value :) thank you for the comment 🙏

Haha yep! 🙏

There aren’t any individual beings for there to be an enlightened person. When we say someone is enlightened, we’re pointing to a mind that has recognised that its own consciousness is infinite and shared between all minds and all things. In other words, that we recognise that everything is God. They don’t have special powers or an exotic state of mind. Most kids these days have recognised this. We’re just extremely over dramatic about it all.

Congrats to the Buddha broski 👊 my point was that there are many many pathways = many variations, possibilities to explore our experience and deepen our experience of truth. Isn’t that so fun and exciting?

I’m referring to the “state” of consciousness that is commonly referred to in the Indian traditions like Buddhism and common spiritual parlance

@@sajafendel thank you

I appreciate you! Thank you. 🙏

I wouldn’t know anything about it I’ve never achieved enlightenment

Almost what I’m saying! Happiness is not an emotion. Don’t expect an emotion. When I say infinite, I don’t mean time and space, or in infinite “size” I mean infinite as in - not limited or finite. Which means, does not exist in time or space. We don’t indiffereciate with consciousness, we are already that, so we don’t need to identify or try to identify with anything. We just remove the belief in separation. Yes you’re right, we don’t die because we’re already that which cannot be born or die. That means fear of death dissolves. That also means when the body dies, we don’t get attached to the body. Will make that whole experience a whole lot easier.

Of course brother! 🙏 I deeply appreciate you asking. How would you like me to send it?

Hey Rebecca! Thank you so much for this insightful and encouraging comment. I appreciate you and your words and the time it took you to share this. I agree. The problem is nowadays is that people wake up casually. Then they go and find a teacher to help understand their experience but end up going to a teacher that doesn’t really know how to handle someone who’s already woke up so they over complicate it. They teach people to wake up. But if that’s already happened to some degree what then? People need their experience simplified and to be grounded in that truth. This is where a lot of confusion happens! This happened with me. If it resonates with you be sure to check this out! :) www.skool.com/the-thought-dojo-9968/about

Consciousness when it localises itself into what we call mind (the human experience) there is a part where it develops the experience of what it’s like to not know what it is in order to experience parts of everything. Therefore whatever is created is created by consciousness because everything is fundamentally consciousness, however, consciousness mixed with the belief in separation. It is the belief in separation that causes all disharmony in life.

@@sajafendel So it did will Covid to happen? Gotcha and yes I do subscribe to your point of view, but I don't believe that Consciousness is striving toward to some ultrapositive endgoal, I believe that it will just go on forever, willing an infinite amount of both positive and negative experiences to occur just for the sake of exploring its potential.

@@jaye5872 I agree, it is exploring everything. So everything has to happen. No matter how fucked up it is from a human perspective. I don't think it's striving towards an end goal. It just is. There is no end goal. I don't even believe there's a place for it to end and I don't believe it begins either.

@@sajafendel Totally agreed!

One more question though but if the Infinite Potential is always expressing itself, doesn't that mean that hell may actually also exist, somewhere in existence, in maybe another universe, as an expression of the potential?

Very well said haha! It’s a beautiful part of life though, and I sound harsh in my videos but really I’m just playing around

that´s where we all meet, apparently: on that vast adventurous playground called a human life! yippeeee!!!

@@felice9907 I love it, pleasure to be here with you!

Haha explain what you mean?

@@sajafendel the people who were listening to the Buddha who didn't understand him explained it to other people

@@EmmanDesh yes you hit the nail on the head brother.

lol 🤣

Surrendering is not an action so therefore no one really surrenders so not even that is a choice on behalf of a person. The thing is with these matters is that we have to use a clumsy language that wasn’t designed to speak about it.

If there is a "degree" in which sb has to surrender then there are multiple layers and ways for it to unfold. Surrendering is an action mentally. It then manifests in different ways like most thought processes.

Hahahaha, no free will for an individual. And there are no individuals. So there is the ultimate free will.

@@sajafendel No sorry, can't do. Free will means that the choice has to be completely uninfluenced, void of any cause and effect relationship, void of any logic. The only such system is chaotic system filled with randomness. So any free choice is per definition meaningless and worthless.

​@@sajafendel Sorry, can't do. Free will is, per definition, uninfluenced by external factors. If this were not the case, then free will wouldn't be "free", now would it? Any reasoning and motivation that drives a choice, is like a pollutant that breaks the freedom of that choice. A free choice can only be uninfluenced, if there is no reasoning, no logic, no causation behind that choice. Therefor, a free choice and free will can only sprout from randomness and chaos. A free choice has to be void of meaning, which in turn makes the "choice" part useless: it is a self defeating concept.

@@KurtVanBeveron the level you’re speaking on I agree

You’re so welcome. I hope my future videos help clarify anything unexplained here. I do speak to a particular audience so I know a lot of viewers may not understand/ may get triggered at first glance. So I appreciate your open mind and your comment 🙏

In order for me to debate a topic serious with someone, we have to be an expert in both areas. I have dedicated my life to both areas. I will say this: If you really want to understand it, discover that which “has” free will. It is less about whether there IS free will and more about “what” or “who has it. There is no individual with free will, there is only infinite being that is willing everything. You are that infinite being. You have the ultimate free will.

@@sajafendel thanks for your response. So a nonduality view of free will? It seems “we” are stuck in our own point of consciousness though. “I” have human survival instincts, so am a self-interested point of consciousness. In order to survive, I must make decisions, or have them made for me (by the one consciousness) in the interests of myself. And yet, other points of consciousness (other people) often conflict with my needs, because they have their own self-interests (that the one consciousness is allowing?). In the end, it appears the one consciousness is conflicting with aspects (or points) of itself. For what purpose? It has full control, right? “We” (awareness) have no control, but we feel the consequences of actions made on our behalf (the one consciousness that we can’t comprehend because we’re so immersed in this particular point of consciousness). I respect your belief (and don’t be offended by “belief”, I only have beliefs too, I’m not any different to you in that respect). I just don’t see the purpose of one consciousness controlling everything. It makes sense that conscious awareness evolved over time. And with that, individual free will as part of the survival instinct. Conscious awareness is an expensive feature (energy-wise) of a human being. It is why we are unconscious for about a third or so of our life, and why we filter out so much information. However, high consciousness affords us free will to make decisions that can be the difference between surviving or dying.

@@farmersmith7057 You're confusing consciousness with the mind. Consciousness is infinite freedom. It is existence. Your local point of view that you are "stuck" in is the mind. You, consciousness, are not stuck anywhere. Because consciousness is existence, if there is to be any experience at all, there has to be the experience of everything. Yes, everything. Not just some good things. Not just a few convenient things. All things. And consciousness, Being, God, in it's own freedom, creates it's own self made limitation. This is life. That's what you're experiencing. Don't worry, I'm not offended. I stand in my own direct experience.

@@sajafendel fair play. So how do I tap into this freedom? I ask that genuinely. I absolutely want to believe your belief. It would free me from the constraints of “little me”, of the point of consciousness (if I stand on a sharp object, “I” feel pain, that me). How do I get out of that?

@@farmersmith7057 okay I understand you brother. I think you’re mixing up the belief in separation with the experience of individuality. Individuality is an experience and it’s legit. You will and always will feel like you’ve hurt your toe if you hit your bodies toe on the table leg. People thinking knowing your true nature means your an idiot and we stop knowing how to also live in the human experience. The problem is when we over-identify with believing that body is actually what you are. Seek not to remove individuality but the belief that you are fundamentally limited and inside a body.(individual) If that’s the belief you want to work on, I show people how nearly every single day for free in my community.

Basically. Genes and conditioning are the script and the movie in one which is being created in real time simultaneously by the director.

Hey my friend, I appreciate the comment, but it’s clear to me that you don’t understand what I’m really saying or the point I’m making. It’s very likely you also didn’t watch the whole video based on your comment. So therefore I will not be responding. Thank you anyway for your time.

@@sajafendel Thank you for your reply. In any serious discussion, it's not enough to simply assert that a person with an opposing view doesn't understand. Rather, it's incumbent on that person to state where the error lies. You also falsely assert I didn't watch the whole video. What part of the video demonstrates the falsity of my reasoning?

@@seabow2if I’m completely honest, I just don’t have time to debate with people in the comments who are just there for the sake of it. If You want to debate with genuine interest, I have a free community full of people who care about the truth who all have very open minds and have a genuine interest. Feel free to join my friend and we can talk properly. If not, enjoy your day 🙏

Just a suggestion, watch the video fully before you talk about galactic law.

@@sajafendel fair enough! Didn't have time but I know free will is most definitely a thing. ❤️🙏🏻

It’s less about “if” we have free will and more about “what” or “who” has free will. If you watched the entire video I’m sure you wouldn’t ask this question.

Watch more than 10 seconds of the video and you’ll have your answer 🙏👌

Hey brother! I appreciate this a lot my friend. Was so nice to meet you properly today, let’s check in again soon 🙏

You just inspired my next video! Thank you 👊

Very welcome my friend 🙏 thank you for the comment.

i appreciate your time and attention on my videos, it means a lot that you share that my friend. To your answer, I share my way of thinking completely free every day in my community every day here: www.skool.com/the-thought-dojo-9968 Short answer, meditation, psychedelics, advaita Vedanta, George Berkeley, lots of thinking, & my teacher Rupert.

@@sajafendel thanks. I see and hear ideas previously spoken of by Khrisnamurti and Rupert presented more succinctly, with better clarity. Of course, I mean no disrespect to these speakers. I hope that you may go on to add to their notable contributions.

@@chipkyle5428 haha I’m sure it’s not disrespectful at all, if anything a complement to Rupert for giving me the language and vocabulary to be able to express myself more clearly. He’s a true master of that. Thank you for your comment and support my friend, I deeply appreciate it 🙏

You’re very welcome! If you like this content I have it all for free here in my community. I’d love to have you there :) www.skool.com/the-thought-dojo-9968 Have a beautiful day! :)

Thank you! never :)

Then you’ve misunderstood what I’m actually saying. Watch it again and if you still don’t understand then.. oh well

Glad you think so my friend. I’m glad you’re happy and free. Have an amazing day! 🙏

Yes conditioning from my rough past, it will fade out 😉 thanks for sharing 🙏 I appreciate your words.

The region responsible for “I” has always been measured and located by those who believe themselves to be separated and limited. They believe that their consciousness (if they have ever even thought that far) is inside their head. Which means that if one was to track the region responsible for “I” it would probably be located inside the head of that’s what they believe themselves to be. Or, they believe that they are simply a collection of thoughts and feelings. The actual region responsible for the “I” doesn’t exist in the mind or brain because it is not inside the head neither can it even be located by the mind because it is truly the mind that exists inside “it”. Therefore to track the region for “I” should have always been impossible and has only ever been trackable in the first place because they based the experiments on that one fundamental mistake, assuming that the sense of “I” they were measuring is actually the real “I” that they are. In summary, Neuroscientists measure brains. Consciousness is not inside the brain and consciousness is the real “I”.

What it means is let go of all desires that you expect to make you happy. If you desire something because you believe happiness is at the end then yes let go of all those desires. But don’t stop desires. You can’t stop desires. The Buddha didn’t stop desires. If he did we wouldn’t have zen in the first place. The eternal on switch can never turn off. There is no moment awareness is not aware. It can’t not be aware. Even in deep sleep there is the awareness of nothing. It is forever on, alive, and continues without end.

Thanks man. It’s been a journey so far! Have an awesome day my friend.

Hahahahah. I love that. Appreciate the comment my friend!

Yes this is Advaita. Although I came through a different path and found advaita later.

Really appreciate my friend 🙏

Hey my friend. I have to be honest with you, you haven’t discovered anything other than a plane/vibration of suffering. Not all paths are the way. And not all realisations are true and full. I’ve been there. Don’t stop there. You’re not even at the beginning of awakening yet. If you want to chat, we can. My Instagram is @sajafendel message me and I’ll send you a link to chat. But if you believe “this is it” and you’re happy to listen whatever your mind is telling you then by all means choose suffering it’s also a valid option 🙏

@@sajafendel I don't think it's fair that I haven't even begun. You don't know how long I've been at this

​@@corrupted_realm What people think is the end of the path is really just the beginning. Don't worry, I'm still a complete beginner, and I always will be. And I've spent the majority of my life here. Your problem is that you think you're at the end. Take care my friend.

Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it 🙏 anything resonate in particular? :)

You're very welcome man! Thanks for the comment 🙏

Wow. Thank you so much for this comment, Lauren. this really means a lot!! I can promise the posting! But I can’t always promise the wisdom 😉 Can I ask if there is anything that resonated specifically? Then I can make sure I always improve my videos based on the loving people that cross my way 🙏

@@sajafendelI think you’ve mentioned this before in one of your videos, but as a fellow overthinker, your videos condense the insane about of nuance/information that’s available in this community about these topics. It’s like you’ve been in my brain and can distill the unnecessarily complex ‘add-ons’ from what’s actually important, and your videos are fantastic reminders. You’ve mentioned that this is what you wanna do with your content, and yeah just wanna let you know-that’s exactly what you’re doing. I’m not sure if it’s from this video, but something I’ve been personally struggling with is marrying these two concepts in spirituality: desires are part of your human conditioning and should be renounced, or desires are a call to one’s life purpose (nihilism versus absurdism basically). I haven’t been able to answer this in my own life, and kinda had the thought ‘well if I don’t desire anything, why not just roll over and die? Chilling in wholeness is neat, but like, I could do this dead.’ I meant it humorously, but I think you said almost the same thing verbatim. I have yet to have anything addressing issues in spirituality exactly like this, and do it super simply. Bunch of pieces just fell into place for me. Also your videos helped me realize how much I’m accidentally forcing things in my attempts to let things go. Negative emotion pops up, I’m super identified and attached to letting it go properly-so my nervous system hangs onto it for dear life haha. Don’t have an answer for this one yet, but awareness is the first step to everything I guess. My biggest issue in controlling the external has been my attempts to control myself, if that makes sense. You’re helping me sort that out. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful content, I’ll be watching for as long as you’ll be posting haha.

Thank you for sharing a very helpful perspective :)

Hey my friend I'm really glad you like the video and the ideas behind it. Thank you for the support! It really means a lot on a new channel. I would agree we are endlessly creating thoughts, however I don't believe thinking is a problem, I believe it's only a problem when the thinking is on behalf of lack, fear or limitation. If you mean endless thoughts based on that then yes I completely agree! It is also useful to calm the actual thinking process to recognise what is "beneath" - which is not really beneath - but actually what thoughts are made of. If you take my wind analogy all the way, we see that if thoughts are a movement of consciousness, then thinking is in fact still Being, pure consciousness, and there is therefore no distraction from meditation. Anyway, Have a great day :)
