Time, Thoughts & Meditation

time, thoughts & meditation

⭐️part six of the understanding consciousness & non dualism series

we know nothing is real and everything is imagination. all this is just an illusion bc its forms of consciousness (forms of you) that appear separate and have different labels but all they are is just consciousness.

1. time

time is an imaginary concept; it is unreal. time is not real. yes ego sees time and the clock as real just bc its "physical" but we already know nothing is real period. time is imaginary. when you imagine something, you experienced it instantly. theres no amount of time that will make you experience what you want. the moment you imagine / observe something, it exists instantly. theres no need for waiting. theres no such thing as a "time delay" bc time is imaginary. you are consciousness. you are not "powerful"... you are power itself. if you are going to limit yourself to an imaginary concept such as "time," then you have not realized your true nature (dont worry you will get there *wink).

there is no "past" or "future" bc there is only now. when you imagine something, you imagine it in the present, in the now. when "you" remember a memory of the past, you are doing that in the present, in the now. when "you" stress and imagine something that "you" expect to happen in the future, you imagine it in the now. every "second" is the now. there is only present, no past, no future. "past" and "future" are imaginary, unreal concepts.

2. thoughts

thoughts are from the ego and we already know from last post that ego is not real and that ego will make you think that you need to do something else after you already observed something in imagination. ego makes it harder to understand that everything is imagination. doesnt matter if ego understands or not bc either way, you are only consciousness and so is everything else.

even though thoughts and emotions arent real, your false self can still have doubts and feelings of discouragement which is normal. my advice is that when you become aware of thoughts and bad emotions, remember that you are consciousness; you are everything; you are power itself. stop and realize that you are just the observer (= consciousness / awareness) and those thoughts and feelings are never going to be real. as the observer, just observe the thoughts and feelings come and go. consciousness doesnt have opinions; consciousness doesnt categorize things as "right" or "wrong" or "up" or "down" or "green" or "purple". consciousness is neutral. ego is what categorizes things as "good" and "bad" bc ego is "logical" (which is also unreal). since you are neutral consciousness, observe the thoughts pass without judgement.

just be silent and observe. thats your true being. thats awareness. take a step back and remember ego is not the real you; those thoughts arent real and they are coming from (another unreal thing), the mind. thoughts come from the mind / ego as we already know is unreal and imaginary. so they are basically useless. they are just there for entertainment. nothing serious. part of understanding non dualism is realizing that bc none of this is real, we cannot take anything seriously bc this is all just a game that we create. step back and remember that consciousness is all you will ever be. calmly and silently observe the unreal thoughts and emotions. there is no need to fight or stop unreal things right? consciousness doesnt see those thoughts as "bad" or "annoying". they just are. step back and observe in silence.

3. meditation

when you think of meditation you may think of sitting on a mat in a calm yoga sitting position while listening to silence. in reality, meditation is just consciousness. consciousness is naturally meditation bc, as said before, consciousness is already, naturally calm and neutral w no opinions or judgements. when i tell you to mediate. you are already doing it, you already are it. effortlessly. but ego tells you otherwise and ego presents "messy thoughts" and while you werent aware of your true nature (consciousness), you take the thoughts seriously when they tell you "this is the right way to meditate" etc bc you think you are the body that is actually thinking these thoughts.

challenge (?):

we are naturally the observer. remember when i told you to sit back and observe the thoughts that ego sees as negative? why dont you try to be present and aware of whatever you are doing once in a while bc most of the time, "you" are just thinking about the past or stressing about the future. be present instead.

the video said "put 1000 focus" and "attention"... just know he means be completely aware on (for example) washing the dishes instead of being aware of thoughts and other nonsense while you are washing.

be your natural, meditation self and next time you look out the window, just silently observe the trees. observe the leaves and its stems and the lines and the green color. observe the texture of the bark without judgment. theres no reason to stop or argue with the mind and its thoughts and opinions. just observe them. remember: none of that is ever really happening; you are just observing consciousness (everything is consciousness / imagination). you are staring at yourself so theres no harm in that. stare at "your" hand and silently observe the lines and color. i like to stare at something in my room or close my eyes and silently observe the rain sounds outside in silence. its peaceful and thats pure awareness. if im walking on the street, i observe the people talking while observing the cars honking while observing the way the trees move from the wind while observing how "my" legs move while "i" walk on the street.

i observe my breathing and quiet the mind and thoughts and observe. if thoughts dont stop coming, i wouldnt fight it bc they are just unreal. they are harmless. i just observe the thoughts. with or without thoughts, i am always the observer. i observe what i want. silently observe. with the challenge as said: observe / be aware of the things happening in the present. dont get swept up by the unreal mind and unreal thoughts. calm, stress-less, limitless, silent, neutral, peaceful. thats awareness. thats you.

“Don’t be afraid, my darling. Luckily, life still loves me enough to never abandon me, and the fact that I even complain about it and revolt against this boredom that is winning me over and this desert where I am struggling is proof of this. What would I have to ask her if I didn’t feel her value in me, her echo near or far? And then… those who are born alive, die alive and I even wonder to what extent life does not go beyond their existence… but where am I going? Forgive me, my love; I am going astray. I just wanted to assure you of something that you never doubted; even at the moments when I feel the deadest soul, a thousand embers are there that fizzle in silence and that all the ice in the world would not reach. These thousand embers, I reserve them all for you. They are waiting for you, as well as the ashes - alas.”

— Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, Correspondance, February 2, 1950 [#165]

Hello !! I'm glad you're back !😁 And i hope you've been doing great ! May I participate in your game ?

An assumption about you is that I think lilies and roses are one of your favorite types of flowers 💐

My question is :how will the love story between me and my future husband will be? 🥰

I'm C😻 and thank you a lot !! 💙

Roses are my favorite flower. They're a cliche choice but so beautiful and romantic. I don't like rose-scented things though. I like lilies, but I don't love them. Jasmine is my 2nd favorite flower but my most favored floral scent. I have a secret want to learn gardening and floral arrangement, so I love the topic of flowers. 💐

Knight of Cups, 8 of Wands

The Knight of Cups is one of my favorite romance cards. It's going to be so dreamy and romantic. I'm channeling love at first sight too. It's like the love will strike when you least expect it. I keep getting a vision of Cupid in his baby form. Does someone love children? Your love story will be idealistic. There's an air of charm, romanticism, and innocence to it, probably why I got baby imagery. It's possible things will happen fast. Ya'll are definitely going to have kids. It's going to be cheesy overall. Think of The Notebook, although I've never seen it.

Brando ☥, The Infinite Soul

Have you ever been in unrequited love that has lasted for more than 3 years? 😶

Who will I marry?

R ♏☀️♎🌙♍ 🏹

Almost. I had a big crush on this dude in High School in my Junior year, got over it in the Summer, and developed it back midway in Senior year. I guess you could say my crush lasted for 2 years with occasional, idgaf breaks. Was the first person I ever confessed to and my first rejection. I'm a hopeless romantic but that crush felt like a disease. I look back on it and wonder what I ever saw in him, haha. Lets just say that love makes you REALLY blind.

Heirophant, Page of Cups

Alright a bunch of information flooded with this one. Ok, so you may marry a Taurus or an earth sign, someone who is grounded, stable, rigid, and well established. This person is very traditional, but the page of cups hints that they also have a side to themselves that's soft and fluid. This person has a very dual like personality. On one side they are tough, nonsensical, and the other they're dreamy and sort of childish. This person may have a tough exterior, but a gentle heart. I think they keep this softness hidden away from most people as a means to protect themselves. They may have an earth sign sun and a water moon. Whoever this is, is likely in a position of authority and has carefully divided their personal life from their professional. This person may change with night and day. They are a lot of fun. I should say so with an earth sun and water moon myself. Love this person's energy.

hello! first of all, thank you for hosting this game! i hope that things that concern/upset you sort out as soon as possible!!

also, have you watched the bbc adaptation of pride and prejudice?

and should i pursue music seriously/as the main occupation?

with love, gemini kkv

Thank you! I haven't, but I have watched a few remakes of pride and prejudice. I love the story but I'm kind of tired of all the adaptions, lol. I'm not a big TV person, I'm more of a reader actually, but everyone has been pressing me to get a Netflix account and watch these shows (I don't know if it's on Netflix). I do plan to watch Bridgeton though. Usually when I get into series like these I become obsessed with them and it's all I can think and talk about for weeks (scorpio moon, haha). This has actually given me the idea to start watching them to get over my current problems, hmm...

The Moon, 9 of Wands

Depends on you, but I'm leaning towards a no. I think the main issue with this is that it would take the fun out of music for you. I think pursuing this as a career would require a lot, mostly I'm getting that it could take a significant mental and emotional toll. There's a very exhaustive energy clouding this whole reading. There would be a lot of expectations placed on you, and honestly, it would be a long time before you would get anything really fruitful (is it musician) out of it. If you can perservere through these difficulties, then you can be successful from it for sure, but as the current energy stands, you're more likely to call it quits before that can happen. If you're determined towards this career, go for it, but know that there's a chance making music as work would not be as joyous and magical as you may think.
