The start of my awakening was an experience in which I left my body, travelling through my third eye, which felt like concentric rings. Then I woke up from the dream literally, raising my head and having the sense of waking up. I saw my body lying in a room without walls or floor. It was just a black cube, but it wasn't empty. I saw things that i still haven't fully processed. Everything that took place happened in ultra clear vision, nothing compares in this world, It's not a metaphor when life is referred to as a dream and that we are asleep because we literally are.
dear bryant, I just watched your video. At first I thought I wouldn't finish watching it. But just when I started listening to it, I felt a pang in my head. It immediately awakened my awareness. I am from Thailand I am a Buddhist Having practiced meditation for many years, I have achieved nothing but peace. I feel like I'm not going anywhere. Therefore turned to study the wisdom of enlightenment from Western texts. Your video is very great.I never see any contain like yours.Your rainbow story is much clever as I've seen.I sure I would take a little time to be there someday.Thank you very much
You make me laugh. Thanks. Didn't sleep last night. My deepest wish is to wake up from this nightmare. Persistent. Nothing else to be "done". No monsters. Do I really know this? Not really but not going anywhere so I will continue listening. Thanks
I love when you said we never really wanted the wish but to see the illusion clearly! The rainbow is light Divided.. just like the chakras.. enlightenment maybe light United free of the illusion of Division that never really happened😉 🌈
Imagination gives rise to memory, memory gives rise to the illusion of time as a linear movement from past through present to future, yet all three terms are meaningless, there is only imagination. Hence, 'one imagines what one remembers, and remembers what one imagines'.
I like the "bumper car" analogy that you used on one of these. We are all connected to the same power source at the ceiling. (or consciousness) But I think it might be more fitting to use the word "unconscious", or as Jung and Frankl called it the "Collective Unconscious". The word "unconscious" may not be the greatest word for it, because whatever it is, it is "the seat of all knowledge", and all knowledge is drawn from it into "conscious awareness". Which may be the reason that Frankl wrote the book named "The Unconscious God". Since it may be the essence of God, then all possibilities, of past, present, and future are stored there. Waiting to be pulled out into consciousness and "experienced" at an individual "self" level. It might even be the same as what is termed Akashic records, where science's exploration of the nature of "consciousness" and Quantum Entanglement might meet.
I'm 41 but I remember when I was a little child that I always contemplated where did we come from, I was maybe six years old or maybe younger. One thing I remember imagining in my head that prior of us coming into this world we were sliding incessantly on rainbows in another realm that consists of nothing else. I don't know where I got that idea from, I also remember thinking to myself, that if were watching people on the TV who don't seem to know that they were being watched, how do we know whether if someone is watching us and we don't know about it.
Quarks are the smallest matter, everthing else exists in a field of quantum potential field (like photons are) which changes upon observation by an observer.
If you wish to enjoy the illusion (and many do), enjoy life without realisation, that's just as valid or is what is as waking up from the illusion and seeing through it (but then never again believe in it no matter what as long as there is awareness/realisation and not forgetting or attention is drawn away from awareness of the illusion to toward it --- so being relaxed in awareness of awareness itself is awakening - it's very simple, there's awareness and forgetfulness or not attention and attention and this is the duality leading to all other dualities - the illusion is awareness refracted through itself so it's also awareness but forgetting or attention being placed on the illusion, just like how you think your mind works).
You wake up to the fact that this is a dream, you don't wake up from the dream because the dream is you. And it's ultimately not important if you wake up or not, since the universe (awareness) is playing everything and everyone and it wakes up to itself and forgets. If you truly woke up from a dream, then the dream (dream characters) would be extinguished. Awareness isn't sleeping. Only the separate self is which is simply thinking with attention. But every morning we wake up from sleeping and go back to the waking dream.
Is the illusion (life) really a nightmare? It's also what is (the interaction of light, water, eyes), isn't it? It's just seeing the dream for what it is makes it unlikely to scare you but no guarantees: I know how a rainbow works to great level but I still admire its beauty.
Vanilla Sky, Inception, The Family Man ( Nicholas Cage) What Dreams May Come, Wizard Of Oz, Alice In Wonderland. This was such a great explanation xxxx
I have questions. What do you wake up into exactly? What do you do there? And if you're still here, then why? If it's an illusion, wouldn't some people prefer feeling like it's real for an intense experience?
Hello and thank you for your questions: Upon recognising and experiencing the true nature of existence you simply find a permanent and totally all encompassing peace that is not subjected to the usual ups and downs of human existence but instead is the full equanimity of being, all is harmonised and everything feels perfect. The experience defies any perfect explanation because it is beyond words - The best I could say in words is that it is an energised emptiness, loving joy and inner serenity even when in the midst of busy activity- The body and mind continues but you are now watching it's activity from a calm and loving space instead of feeling claustrophobically encased within it - Upon glimpsing even a moment of this one would never wish to prefer the previous way of experiencing reality.
It is not that appearances in the here and now are illusions (aka direct perceptions nor does it really matter if they are or not) rather our mental interpretation and mentally constructed world is and that is where suffering comes from
Hello hello I enjoyed your content, but I have a question. What about the debt? I mean. If I close my eyes and not think of the debt, wouldn’t I still have to pay?
It's a very good video and the rainbow example of illusion is very good as well. I'm only surprised a bit that you present this idea of "illusion" in such a way being a zen practitioner. This is because in Buddhism, "illusion"means something very different. The idea presented by you is a Hindu concept. I realize that there is a certain amount of nuance here, but this distinction is crucial and affects the practice and the view. I'd appreciate your comment on it if these videos are meant to have any purpose besides pure entertainment 😊
That's what I expected, no response. Too little knowledge to answer. I'd rather listen to real Buddhist masters who understand basic tenets - not to amateurs. Unsubsribed....
I need help though, so when i die, and i see the light, i dont want to come back here and re live life, it seems there is a soul trap element, where one has to achieve Gnostic secrets, in order to not have the mind or memory whipe that seems to occur, that tricks people back into earth and away from TRUE Ascension.......PLEASE REPLY
Thank you for your comments brother, I understand your concern on this but please do not be afraid, you have been fortunate in this life to come across this knowledge already, don't seek Gnosis instead just know the basics, anything that is meant to be revealed to you will be revealed in time, relax and stay the course, there is eternity to 'Get it' You have an inclination within you that is leaning towards a deep spiritual understanding with an aim towards true ascension, those things alone are enough to steer you in the right direction. Ultimately it won't come down to Gnosis either, if you REALLY don't want to come back then you won't ;)
The illusion is you, and the root is the only voice you ever hear, the mind has many branches, cut the voice at the root, nothing it ever says is the living truth, its name is legion, it should be the slave not the master, good for finding my shoes.
But the universe (illusion of awareness) is always coming back, the universe is reincarnating even if individuals are not - ultimately you are this awareness manifesting as the (not manfesting the) illusion which never ends. You might ask, this seems like a catch-22 but awareness comes first so it can be refracted through itself to give rise to the illusion which it then becomes aware of and so on. The mind can't get it really. And if you get it, you know it's not the mind.
Then how does your illusion account for all the Others out there? I mean your mother, father, siblings and so on...they're all illusions too, and you are their illusion that also doesn't really exist, seriously..?
Are you walking through something else... Come back in. Do something manly not nature as in trees. Man man look at the ground feel it stomp on it bare foot foot Love Bec.
You're definition of attention isnt quite right. Its not like adding a to theist to get atheist. If it were, the word to which you addeed the a prefix would be ttention (which doesnt exist).

If it was not for the nature of an illusion, you would not realize otherwise.
A group called *Imagination*sang an Awesome song in the 70s called..
*It's Just An Illusion * Bit of a dance sorts all out.😊❤
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ahh ah.
Studying Buddhism, I realised this is a maya we are trapped in and it’s great to have you explain this in simple terms, in English. Much gratitude 🙏💜
You're very welcome - Namaste

You're extremely good at what you do.
Thank you for these very encouraging words
Very effective pointer,eye opening 😊
Thank you :) It's a skill that has taken some practice :)

‘The Matrix’ is a documentary, not a movie. I remember Dr Bruce Lipton saying this. So true.

Earliest memory of the opening of My Little Pony cartoons?
You don't need eyes, you just need consciousness. There's no spoon, or rainbow.
Rainbows are always seen in the same location and mainly above landmarks. Creations signature.
In your reality they only actually can appear when you are in the ideal physical setting, and always only when the refracting water is behind you.
Rainbow from an airplane IS visible, though it appears as a halo. I have seen one, and it is a recognised phenomenon.

We like the world to make sense, and it does, but only in terms of the description applied to it, then we mistake the description for the world.

I just found you and I am very happy. Explain how to withdraw attention from the illusion? My eyes see and my body hurts
Attention is an activity, the withdrawal of attention is just the ceasing of that activity. Simply stop :)

You just described the “plandemia” illusion back in 2020.
For a rainbows 🌈 you also need a dome. ❤❤❤
It is not that appearances in the here and now are illusions (aka direct perceptions nor does it really matter if they are or not) rather our mental interpretation and mentally constructed world is and that is where suffering comes from
The Illusionist is a good movie too
& Wombling free!
Yes! Added to the list!
I said "in your mind, I mean in your experience", that was intentional, yes?
How do you stop from waking up in the same predicament on Earth in a new body in a new life?
So closing your eyes to the rainbow is analogous to turning off identification with thought...
Hello hello I enjoyed your content, but I have a question. What about the debt? I mean. If I close my eyes and not think of the debt, wouldn’t I still have to pay?

Are you conscious of Bashar and/or Abraham Hicks on TH-cam?
The real dream is that we're not individual gods from the collective consciousness source.
Just be your "I am".

You're definition of attention isnt quite right. Its not like adding a to theist to get atheist. If it were, the word to which you addeed the a prefix would be ttention (which doesnt exist).
