That's kinda like a grain of sand.. or?

Wonderful teachings. I can very much tell this is deep long work summarized into a few effective and punctual sayings. I love it

Wonderful indeed,
because it's the result of accepting the final challenge: to live on, and onwards.

And the love is mutual.
Can Agape be anything else than the Atman recognizing the Atman?
Whenever the pure self, beyond any identity or other limitations recognizes itself as the unmanifest being manifested, then every color shines just like unaltered bright light. Instead of the fearful separateness of dualism or the frightening loneliness of solipsism, or the dim visions of simple monism; complete communion arises beyond the collapse of arbitrary distinctions.

And this realization belongs to all.
"Whoever sees himself in all beings and all beings in himself loses all fear,
When a sage sees this great Unity and his Self has become all beings, what delusion and what sorrow can ever be near him?" - Isa Upanishad

Its truly beautiful, The images that flashed in my mind seeing the beauty in the world and how I was never alone gave me great comfort. It puts small problems into their proper perspective

But then on the other hand...

Alan Watts says life should be viewed as play, there’s pleasure to be enjoyed at every angle.
6 =inward reflection, piecing together the inner self
9=divine intervention, your spirit connected to the world and even higher
69 would be the whole
Rule 6 was your 9th reply

Thanks for valuable feedback, smells like burnt almonds!


"Flexibility because of stability" is the key when playfulness opens up the gate!
Om tat sat, Amen.

Speaking of inward gaze though...

I leave my emotions usually out of my thought process it’s actually been an issue of thinking too logically. It’s why I was agnostic before this year though I still even found myself praying when I was in desperate times. This is also why I scoffed at every religion but now I realize the wide spread misinformation. That was the main staple in my mental rigidness. But now it’s released, like you said it feels like a clean slate

It is natural for any seeker to over-emphasize either knowledge (Jnana) or devotion (Bhakti), but as Swami Vivekananda said: Devotion without knowledge is superstition, knowledge without devtion is madness".
In truth though, neither words nor feeling can comprehend the absolute, and to one who truly knows god, definitions such as "theist", "atheist", "agnostic" and so on becomes nothing less than what Wittgenstein would call "a game of words".

According to most evangelical christians, I would by now be consdered an atheist. At the same time; according to the atheist ideals that I grew up with I am most definately a theist. My position that pure genuine knowledge lies beyond any names, words, forms or concepts would probably label me an agnostic, while I at the same time hold it as truth, the only truth, that nothing exists except God.

And still I'm neither a monist nor a solipsist. Earlier I referred to Swami Vivekananda, so I will let his guru state the obvious conclusion of this discourse:

"So long as the bee is outside the petals of the lily, and has not tasted the sweetness of its honey, it hovers around the flower emitting the buzzing sound; but when it is inside the flower, it noiselessly drinks the nectar. So long as a man quarrels and disputes about doctrines and dogmas, he has not tasted the nectar of true faith; when he has tasted it, he becomes quiet and full of peace".
- Paramahamsa Sri Ramakrishna
