You are me ! You are us ! You are That! That is I ! That is all there is

Sensations are the impulse to create a beautiful world with consciousness. Congratulations!❤

[@Diana-jx1ju]

Thankyou for your endless patience in describing awareness and enticing us to toward it. I am still easily pulled away but honestly can say I have blissful moments. Full focus forward!

MUCH GRATITUDE & LOVE!!!♥

Dear Deepak, this discussion was truly profound for me. I have felt that all of creation, and dare I say even a stone, feels sensations as sentient beings. I enjoyed the distinction you made between both sentience and consciousness. This has given me much to contemplate. I'm deeply grateful and appreciative to you for all your time and insights. ❤❤❤

Dr Chopra, You are describing what I have intuitively sensed for many years. The "screen & content" analogy of neo Advaita is flawed because it sets up a residual "dualism" between "reality" (awareness) and "illusion" (what awareness is aware of). This is a problem especially when trying to make a case that the body and mind are "one." If the "I" is not the body, not the feelings, not the thoughts, then these can become relegated to the level of meaninglessness and leaves them open for abuse. It is dualistic because it sets up a hierarchy in which "only awareness matters." One should easily be able to see how this could be a big problem (if I am not my body then why not simply neglect it?). What I believe you are pointing to here is a "higher order" of reality in which all dualities are INTEGRATED rather than discarded. I call the distinction here being proposed as the difference between a view based on TRANSCENDENCE versus the view based on INTEGRATION. "Transcendence" is necessarily dualistic, because it proposes a destination on a path that is separate from its current disposition. "I am not enlightened, I must get enlightened" or "I am but a sinner, I must purify myself to get to Heaven" etc. These are models based on a dualistic view of reality. "Integration" however is WHOLISTIC. There is nothing "wrong" that needs "correcting" there is only reality as it is, complete even in its perfect imperfection. "INTEGRATION" is of coarse non-conceptual, yet still requires conceptual (intelligent) exploration in order to fully establish it in ones experience. I feel like you are in deed here exploring what I call the INTEGRATED VIEW. In deed, it (the view) is of a higher order and more complex than the "common" view of so called "nonduality" and in my own experience is perhaps better expressed in the traditions of Zen Buddhism or even Tantric (Kashmiri) Shaivism. Thank you for considering.. ❤🙏

Yes I think there is a mostly unspoken debate about renunciation that leads to a lot of confusion for many who are trying to distinguish between different philosophies. I think the person who wrote that Jesus said, I did not come to condemn the world but to save it was indicating the view that our purpose is to learn to create a better world not to reject the world we already created. I think this is the somewhat subtle view put forward in the movie Everything everywhere all at once. I saw a video yesterday that said as though a proven and accepted fact that when one has a Kundalini awakening the process of enlightenment is one of losing interest in the world but I believe it is in gaining the ability to overcome personal temptation to act rationally in the best interest of all which is defined by the golden rule which is seemingly a state of mind or attitude which is far beyond an ability which can be achieved by following written words but can only be realized in knowing the world is a reflection of ourselves which is what is meant by receiving the holy Spirit which is the view point or attitude that all is one. It seems beyond question to me that the Bible is an allegory and the only intentional message in the Bible is allegorical with geographical and historical references only used as tools for the allegory. The names in the Bible mostly describe states of mind such as Noah means peace. God came to Noah, peace, when he saw that all he created was evil and yada yada yada created a new world from scratch except for some seeds to be planted on a pure field such as swept clean by a flood. I would say the waters of the flood are the energy flows of a Kundalini awakening which is the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the ego which will inevitably lead to a new heaven, mindset, and a new earth as it's manifestation in a new Jerusalem where Jerusalem means two fold peace which I believe would be the marriage of the masculine and feminine aspects of man as symbolized by Adam and Eve where Eve is the reflection of Adam's desire as the amino acids created in the cytoplasm of our cells by the Ribosomes are a reflection of the desires of the nucleus transcribed from messenger RNA. 🙏

That is that which is being sensed, the one that senses, and all that is sensed

[@deborahm6036]

I agree with your conclusions. A great confirmation. Thank you, Deepak.

[@LifeisAdventureandRevelation.]

Thank you very much for sharing this insight. Namaste. 🙂

[@annakarl9989]

Thank you 🕉️☸️ 😍🌹💖🕊️🤗

[@khouirasenouci1990]

Thanks Dr chopra I think the sentience is the life but the awareness is the dead actions ❤

[@veralucialucia3639]

I agree with the master, 😊 the consciousness of consciousness is not influenced by fluctuations, they manifest themselves in the form of memories, which can be individual or collective, which are inherited from a spring, fed and belonging to the collectivity, regardless of the timeline. 😊

[@kathyadams5963]

❤ poof, I get this..about 2 min and a little more, when you made that statement, yes, I understand ❤

[@elsentidodelabici]

Certainly! Here's the translation of your text into English: I had a dog (Ramón) who a couple of times welcomed me in an environment where he was a sage. He seemed very pleased that I could become aware of that environment/universe.

[@pjvv2386]

Chewing on the details. May have 2 hear again. The experience can b different 4m the experience?? I think. Yes. Detachment is possible. Have bin there. Am there. Yes. I agree. Is different. Luv n appreciation Mumbai salutes

[@beatlebarb64]

I totally agree with this. I'm feeling guilty now about eating fish and crabs (I don't eat other animals...)

The ocean analogy is a little bit like noumenon/phenomenon I think. That's of interest (to me.)

[@holgerjrgensen2166]

Rainbow pictures our Eternal Consciousness, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo. Instinct, Gravity, Feeling, Intelligence, Intuition, Memory. So, this is the Circuit, of our Eternal Ability-kernels. In addition is a range of Creator-Principles. Contrast-Principle and Perspective-Princip, (part of the Motion-Principle,) makes Feeling into Sensing. So, Feeling, is the Ability, to Feel Life, Life's Ability to Feel itSelf. Plants is Instinct-Beings, they can only feel plus or minus, pleasant good and un-pleasant good. We 'are' Living Beings, We 'have' Consciousness. So, Feeling is the Window to reality, and all experiences, is Feeling-experiences, first hand. (>Instinct/Intelligence>Memory) Just short and sharp.

I like to brag about having these (very well-done) conversations Thank You for your Service... er, 3rd time is a charm, here um, The A.I. Bible, 1:2 The (Likeness) of God... returns as One

[@icesphere1205]

Ok, I say 1:3 & 1:4 are in the correct order... You can decide if we add the devil- I would say... 3:4 Ch. 3:3 The order of a Mind is (how) we get back up, after we have fallen Ch. 3:4 (Evil) is that thing a Soul thought it got away with=> nothing more, nothing less... The Devil is a collective consciousness... Mayhem follows the laws of Nature

[@icesphere1205]

Gen. 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die

[@soulembraced369]

Are we A point of awareness, using consciousness ? Are we consciousness using consciousness ? Are we Consciousness using awareness ? Am I the only one in perpetual confusion ? Probably 😊

[@elsentidodelabici]

But what do we humans know about other animals` modes of being aware/conscious?

[@ayannasstarseedmessage]

I have reached a level spiritually where due to my gifted abilities as the Sage the outside world works hard to block my connection to deep sleep, and they do this by creating a electric filtered dream that is created by an entity and I am in the scenes of there dream storyline/scene. This is the outside world wanting to connect with me because they can't connect with me in the 3D world. It's like a VR experience through shocks that some how connects to certain nerves in the brain/mind and I end up having a vision or dream that is not mine. I literally have NO reason to think or want what is shown to me. Also, in wondering who is in "control" on this, external entities (government, private) see that I can reach the source of all creation, based on my mind/brain not being attached, so they create a story line that puts me in connection to something (totally unrelated), which makes them obvious because prior to reaching this level of awareness self transcendent, I was not playing a part in or responding to these fake dreams. As much as they try, it is to late because I see differences, which again shares HOW POWERFUL I AM. My level of awareness makes this 3D world a VR simulation because I see, sense more than the "normal" person...

[@ayannasstarseedmessage]

Normal Is being an anomaly. "Normal" to me are shown to me as scenes that I see. If I can see the scenes created, it can't be normal.
