A DREAM ON A NEW YORK CITY NIGHT

Year after year, day after day,
he’s just a lost soul on this forum, wasting away.

One evening, just like any other before bed,
he plots out his plans while lying in bed.

Master John will drift off to sleep tonight,
dreaming of how the Quran,
is nowhere near right,
because it’s nothing but a lie.

And in that dream, he meets his end,
leaving behind nothing but trash, my friend.

He'll be remembered only for his foolish ways,
having lived a life devoid of joyful days.

For he made a classic spiritual blunder, tripped, and fell,
sinking deep into quicksand, trapped in a living hell.

Master says banned:
Pavlih Ravnih, you aren't nearly as sensitive as you like to pretend. You’ve stumbled upon some heavy-duty master storytelling here and completely lost your footing.

If you ever happened to run into the deep, detailed insights provided by Enchantress and Dragonfly—without trying to inject your own masculine ego into everything—you'd probably trip over your own feet in a heartbeat.

With Enchantress and the masters of the "V.S.P.Z.S.," it’s actually the opposite—if you even slightly slip up, they know exactly where your head is at instantly.

It's the same deal with how the masters tell the Truth. A certain drunken guru once liked to say that the Truth should be printed on a postage stamp. If you really believe that, then tell us: how would you go about elaborating that very same Truth tomorrow? In other words, just how much individual originality can one actually squeeze onto the back of a US postage stamp?

Think twice about these "copy-clone" comments of yours, Pavlih Ravnih. I'm sure Master John would personally send you a thank-you note via DM for wasting his time.

A new little fish has been caught,
it seems the guru is quite the killer.

The administrator, whose name I shall keep strictly confidential:
And where exactly did you get the idea that he was the one? Good grief! Banana?
Well, they tell me that isn't the case!

I think I got ahead of myself!

😁

Today's thought is this:

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Master John said:A classic joke from a doctor in Florida:

"Doctor, I've been bitten by a snake!"

"And where did it bite you?"

"In the kitchen."

"I'm not asking where, I'm asking why!"

"How should I know? It just happened out of thin air!"

That’s exactly how Master John’s sudden epiphany went, azzriel, OUT OF THIN AIR.

Those people who insist you need to argue and fight just to wake up aren't actually awake or enlightened. Even worse are their followers here on this "forum," who have no clue what they're talking about until they get called out, yet they love to lecture you about sweat, effort, meditation, and focus—from Fazli to Beljkija, there's an endless list of them.👎

Bravo... 👍
Bravo... 👍

But since you're busy lecturing others,
arguing and bleeding all over this forum's road.

Just ignore the fools; let them worship if they want,
and calmly laugh while they hand over their money.

Enchantress said:Intellectual enlightenment and suffering

Last night, someone really hurt my feelings. When I woke up this morning, I found myself completely stuck in a "dualistic" perspective, and honestly, I couldn't find any way out. I tried everything—trying to manually "click" back into awareness, attempting to recall all those previous "insights" and "knowledge," focusing hard, breathing, practicing... Nothing worked! Then panic set in—I genuinely thought I’d be trapped there forever. Eventually, things slowly settled, and I realized that as the day progressed, I would be capable of "clicking" back at any moment. This isn't the first time an emotional shock has knocked me right back into that dualistic viewpoint.
Now I’m wondering—what kind of realization is it if a simple physical hormonal imbalance can disrupt it? It's intellectual, obviously. But then again, maybe intellectual insight isn't actually "insight" in the true sense of the word.
Real intellectual insight is what Raman talks about when he says you'll shed 90% of the weight from your shoulders, because that insight is essentially a realization of the non-existence of free will. Once someone understands that free will doesn't exist—that it's just an illusion—their entire view of reality and existence changes completely. But...
Everything happens on its own, including this intellectual insight. It either happens or it doesn't. Just like "true" realization. It arrives exactly how it arrives, and it can leave just as easily. That's exactly what happened to me this morning. Remembering an insight is not the same thing as experiencing the insight itself. An insight is only valuable if you can "summon" it into your consciousness at any given moment or simply live within it. What if that insight just vanishes one day? What if we fall back into the hell of a "personalized consciousness" with no way out? Or—what if everything just stays like this? What does that even mean?
Having an intellectual insight leaves a person eternally split in two. One part is dualistic, the other is not, and both sides pull the individual in opposite directions. If you spend your whole life with one foot in and one foot out, your suffering remains eternal. To fully withdraw "there" while remaining equally active "here" might only be possible after spending a long time "there"—but none of us can manage that given our actual lives, since we are so actively engaged "here" on every level.
And what kind of realization is it where "here" and "there" still exist, where I am still "shifting perspectives" and "clicking"? True realization is where there is no "here" or "there," no shifting, and no clicking—ever.
Have we actually gained anything through this insight? Does it even make sense to draw others into it if we ourselves can't handle it and don't know what it will ultimately become within us? Maybe it disappears forever one day, and then what was the point of having it at all? Will we just end up speaking empty words?
I don't even know what I've just written, but I wanted to share it all with you guys...

That is exactly what I was trying to convey by using those old, worn-out words: "emptying the mind."
Only when a person empties their mind using "certain methods" do they enter Samadhi or Zen (Samadhi is a state of an undisturbed, empty, pure mind, and it doesn't matter who or what enters it; don't get hung up on words and concepts by taking them literally or trying to grasp them with the intellect) and then nothing can touch them anymore because they transcend duality and all worldly connections.

Now, that state isn't something you achieve; it is always there, and it is our true nature. Everything else is just personalization, ego, ego trips—call it whatever you want. How do you reach that state? People suggest meditation, fasting, prayer, and so on...
But it's all nonsense; I've tried it all.
Samadhi arrives—or rather, it is revealed—only when a person clears their mind of programming, habits, customs, and cultural or national identities... You have to be like a small child.
That's why Jesus said in his mystical teaching: "Unless you become like little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

I don't need drugs, fasting, studying, or anything else; I've tried it all and seen that they can help, some more than others... So, how do you empty the mind? And what does "emptying the mind" actually mean?

We all enter this world fully enlightened, and truthfully, we remain so even now. The only real variable is how much an individual recognizes their true essence versus how much they’ve become lost in their ego-driven persona. There has to be a balance! Think of the ego as a tool—it's meant to be used, not discarded. You can't have one without the other. But you absolutely must stay aware of your fundamental nature; otherwise, everything feels like an uphill battle and we just end up running in circles.

I personally became aware of my immortal nature when I was only five years old. Even then, I knew I wasn't just this physical body or this little ego-personality.

As life goes on, however, the mind tends to get cluttered. That’s when you have to sit down and start clearing out the mental junk. I like to call it "mental decluttering."
Essentially, whether you were raised in a strict Christian household, grew up under socialist ideals, or were brought up in an atheist or Muslim environment—you have to toss that baggage aside!

After that, comes the practice of short mantras. I’m not talking about repeating a single word a hundred times like a parrot! It’s much simpler than that. You just state it clearly and firmly: I am not my body.
Try a new mantra: Who am I? Or perhaps: Am I truly my anger or my pain?

You can do this occasionally—maybe once a day or even once a week. Don't force it! Everything flows naturally once a person finally lets go. It becomes like an unstoppable avalanche.

For instance, I couldn't stop the "Who am I?" mantra even if I had wanted to! You’ll see—once it starts coming to you spontaneously, there’s no stopping it.

Cut the crap, Richard Walker79! ...What kind of samadhi or "states" or whatever nonsense are you even talking about? You're just running your mouth without having the slightest clue what any of it actually means! 🙄

leaving behind nothing but a thousand Lego bricks.

He plays with them effortlessly,
spinning them around like a child's top.

I wonder, Richard Walker79, my friend, do you truly grasp the nature of the "ego"? 😉

Intellectual Enlightenment and Suffering

Someone really hurt my feelings last night. When I woke up this morning, I was completely stuck in a "dualistic" perspective—there was just no way to "break out" of it. I tried everything—trying to manually "click" back into consciousness, obsessively reciting all my "insights" and "knowledge," focusing, breathing, meditating... nothing worked! Then panic set in—I honestly thought I’d be trapped there forever. Eventually, things started settling down, and I realized that as the day progressed, I had the ability to "click" back at any moment. This isn't the first time an emotional shock has knocked me right back into that dualistic state.

I read everything you wrote. Your pain and your current state of confusion—it really hit home.

You are so brilliant, and you have such heart and intuition. You're a truly good person. A complete soul.
The most important thing is that you are honest with yourself.
They say that being honest with oneself with mathematical precision is what creates a seer.
When a person sees and hears clearly, the Master begins to speak from within in the third person.

By tomorrow, you’ll feel like a new person. A pametnica like you doesn't stay down for long.

There is a massive difference between merely knowing something and truly realizing it.
Everything I am saying comes straight from my own life experience.

The spiritual crime committed by so many gurus and mystics (take Master John, for example) is that they try to sell people mere intellectual concepts.
It’s just like those people who film kisses or adult films; people watch them, but they don't actually have a clue—because they haven't actually lived through the experience themselves.

I am speaking to those who actually understand what I mean—those who have experienced it firsthand. To everyone else, it might look like something else entirely.

once the experience fades, all you're left with is a MEMORY... so what even is enlightenment then? Just a memory of an experience? 😂

Enlightenment is eternal.
Maybe ask your master clone; they might have a better handle on it.
By the way, kid, that John guy is absolutely unhinged. Honestly, Enchantress drove him totally crazy with all that nonsense... He’s started deleting things and banning people from access. Hitler would be proud. You won't last long either; hanging around madmen eventually turns everyone into a madman. You really are a product of your environment, kid...

Eternal, sure, isn't that just what we all say to sound deep... because if something is truly eternal, then it basically never even happened in the first place, right? 🙄

Well, you aren't in a conflict because you realize the guy is just plain crazy! You can't really argue with someone who isn't playing by the rules of reality.

And honestly, it looks like it’s rubbing off on you—you’re starting to lose it a little bit yourself!

It’s that classic "guru syndrome." A few people fell under his spell, things turned toxic, and eventually, poor Vivek ended up losing everything...

It’s always been there. You just have to clear your head of all that nonsense—the egos, the nationalism, the religious stuff, all that spiritual junk. Once you peel back those layers, everything becomes crystal clear.
But what about you people? You clones who spend from dawn to dusk hanging around this forum? Are you an actual pack or even just individuals? Seriously, kid, run while you still can. This obsession with being a "master" is a total drug...
And honestly, what do you even have to say to anyone? Someone raises their voice just a little and you immediately get offended and start banning people or deleting replies... Just get away from your "guru" Master John before it's too late!

Oh, so now you're an expert on what's "useful" and how to stay sane? Give me some actual proof, Mr. Professional!
