Are we living in the Matrix already?

Absolute truth isn't something you can just observe or perceive...😉

Buddha stepped out and observed. So it is possible.

1 But seriously, what even is Buddha?
2 but this version of Buddha isn't the real deal!
3 man, you’re basically the collective dream of every Buddhist out there! 😂 😂 😂

Buddha emerged and took it all in. So, it’s entirely possible.

And I suppose you were standing right there watching him walk out, so you're an expert now? 🙂 🙂

evo_mene_opet said:The issue isn't actually religion or science itself. The real problem lies with the people claiming those titles—about 95% of them, if we’re being generous—whether they are self-proclaimed scientists who lack any real rigor or spiritualists who have never actually looked inward..

So, 99.5%, then? 😬

For many people around here, spirituality is nothing more than the parrot-like repetition of unverified claims and recycled phrases borrowed from someone else.

The mind is a dogmatic beast.
It doesn't matter how it chooses to manifest—be it through a priest, a scientific fanatic, or some hollow philosopher; it remains just as twisted and distorted!

Here I am again:

Every "PROBLEM" inherently implies its own "SOLUTION."
And every "SOLUTION" can only exist within "TIME."
Anyone who attempts to force "TIME" into their interpretations of the Spirit is nothing more than a common search fool.🙄 😉

Any conceivable "SOLUTION" can only exist within the confines of "TIME."

By that same logic, a problem itself is nothing more than a temporal phenomenon. If time didn't exist, problems wouldn't either. And since time isn't actually a thing, we truly have no problems at all.

The reason we feel as though we "have" problems is simply because we’ve been blinded by illusion; quite frankly, we are sleepwalking through life.

In most instances, what people experience is merely a shadow—a temporary entity that has latched onto us, masquerading as our true identity.
But the reality is that we are perpetually anchored in the present, in the eternal. There is nowhere else for us to be.
These versions of ourselves trapped in time... they aren't actually us. 😲

Yet, for the vast majority, there is this persistent, nagging sensation that we *are* this temporal being, which is nothing but a grand deception.

....hehe...though, if you really think about it, the idea that we *aren't* this being in time is its own kind of trick...😂

And honestly? They always seem to be right on cue.

Come on, just make up your mind and tell us WHERE YOU ARE.

For crying out loud, just decide once and for all—WHERE ARE YOU?
To a Master, it looks like you're just wasting time idling around with some degenerate "spiritualist."🙄

I am there, yet I am right here. I am your failed, enlightened master.😂

And whatever it is you think you see has absolutely nothing to do with me, you degenerate "Master."😬

Here we go—Karen Sanchez19 is suggesting that John should once again lecture us on the concept of "RAS-step."
Last summer, this particular expert even caught your attention while he was lecturing about THAT very subject.
Tell me, would you perhaps consider peddling those same ideas here? Since you seem to exist in two places at once, oh great Searcher of Truth.🙂

So, Karen Sanchez19 has suggested that John should once again elaborate on the concept of "unraveling."
Last summer, this Master happened to notice you sitting there while he was lecturing on THAT very subject.
Would you perhaps consider peddling your views on THIS TOPIC? Since you seem to exist both HERE and THERE, oh great Searcher of Truth.🙂

...what I am telling you is that I am nothing more than a failed enlightened master.😛

Ah, how glorious those days were when I actually walked in enlightenment.🙂

It is fundamentally impossible to be simultaneously "here" and "there." Everything hinges entirely upon what we choose to identify with. If you are identified with the mind, you will find yourself trapped within time; however, if you identify with your true self—the actual essence of being, rather than that fabricated persona—you simply *are*.

If you are unraveled, you are unraveled within the confines of time.
That whole bit about me being "there yet here"... honestly, only search fools take such things seriously.

And yet, I remain an enlightened master... a fallen one, admittedly... but a master is still a master, after all.😳

I’m there, yet I’m not. Just your typical failed enlightened master.

Jose Reyes
You have to admit, the guy actually has a sense of humor. 😂😂

Regarding this whole discussion about OPENNESS that we've been invited to dive into, I feel compelled to share a little observation from my own perspective...

When it comes to matters of the heart, the man usually makes the initial move,

but the woman takes the definitive RAS-step. 🙂

👋

👋

S.A.M.! I’m my own damn expert here! 😂 😂 😂
Ever run into a plumber who acts like he’s some kind of absolute legend just because he knows how to fix a leak? Or maybe some guy claiming he’s the next LeBron James after playing one pickup game?

Amanda Evans29, could you please ask S.A.M.EXPERT John what he considers the fundamental difference between playing with Lego bricks and having sex?
The EXPERT will reward your curiosity by teaching you how to distinguish basketball from spirituality.
Well, thanks for nothing.🙂 😁

There are really two kinds of people out there: those hunting for true mastery and those just looking for a quick fix from some guy who claims he can do it! 😂 😂
Which camp do you fall into? Also, is anyone here actually offering genuine expertise, or are we all just dealing with an inferiority complex masquerading as skill? 😂

Karen Sanchez19 said:Jose Reyes
You have to admit, there is at least some level of wit involved here. 😂😂

Honestly, Karen Sanchez19, you would be the absolute life of the party at any comedy club in the country.👍

🙂

Quincy: would be just thrilled to sit there as an audience member at a stand-up comedy set.

I'm sure Karen Sanchez19

Not that I've ever even heard of such a show...

The shallow currents of American Culture hold zero interest for me.😂🙂 🙂

Amanda Evans29, why don't you tell me: what exactly is the difference between playing with Lego bricks and actual intimacy?

Is it because you simply DON'T KNOW, seeker of truth? If that's the case, perhaps you should just go back to playing with your little plastic blocks.🙂 😎

EM,
I sent you an email to pick up our discussion regarding the state of disarray, just as you requested, yet there hasn't been a single word in response...!!!!!!
