       Reality. Not very real at all.

       I can't seem to find the substance that makes reality so real
       guys. In fact I can find about 5 realities right now if I want.
       It has no solidity at all. If I don't like the current "reality"
       I simply choose another. On and on. Always creating "reality"
       every second. Reality is in fact malleable.
       That's where I was coming from with the creator talk...reality
       isn't very real at all.

       Those are not realities, Justin, they're made up dreamstuff,
       beliefs and wants... you can replace an illusion with another
       illusion, and even if you call it a reality, it still is an
       illusion. Whispy dreamstuff. Truth, on the other hand, is only
       one of... you can't replace it with another truth. You can't say
       "I don't like this truth, let me get another one" -- because
       there is no other one. Never was, never will be... just this
       one.
       If you can't tell the difference between what seems to be real
       and what is true, you're not there yet and must go further.
       But hey, I thought you were going away? What you're doing here
       still, boy? Go, have fun, dream up your own illusions/bullshit
       and see if they will make you happy in the future... and we'll
       see you in a few months. ;D

       Frits, stop bating him.
       Water has no shape, it takes the form of the vessel, yet it's
       very real.
       So is physical Reality, which is what I am talking about,
       Justin. Not the mentally conjured, dreamed up world most people
       unconsciously inhabit.
       Physical reality of you and me and others. It is not based on
       Thought. It consists of billions of forms which (yes) morph
       continually. People, bacteria, rocks, landscapes... they ARE
       water. They never stop changing.
       The body is the ONLY true indicator, the finest instrument honed
       over millions of years. The senses.. trust them. Senses DON'T
       deceive, it's the Mind interpretation which does. So... next
       time when the brick falls on your head.. or you jump in the ice
       cold water... or you are in a state of severe physical pain...
       or you die from extreme heat in a desert somewhere... or hunger
       bordering on starvation..... try to tell yourself none of it is
       real.
       As in Pink Floyd:
       For long you live and high you fly
       And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
       And all you touch and all you see
       Is all your life will ever be

       In other words... go back to basics, to your origin.

       Cool Pink Floyd quote Ness.
       Frits can't bait me. I'm not exactly stuck in one reality as he
       might suggest. Further is just terminology used by seekers and
       gurus. I already have a pretty good idea of where he's at with
       that. It's irrelevant here.
       Physical pain in the body is physical pain. Not a reality. The
       way it is seen can be a reality. It can be a catalyst for a
       persons reality not in itself a real thing that is imposing a
       reality upon you.
       Don't know if that is making sense but at this point it really
       doesn't matter. I don't really have anything to gain here. Just
       enjoying the contrast as it were :)

       This completely doesn't make sense, I don't understand it.
       You are looking for some 'alternative' reality... It doesn't
       exist, Justin, take off you rose coloured glasses.
       That's all Truth is about.

       Cool... I thought we were on the same page, Nessa, but we're
       not. You see how communication does not work? I'm still figuring
       out who speaks my language (and I'm not talking about Dutch)...
       haven't found any here yet, sorry to say.
       Anyway, my page is this: this here, this life with rocks and
       people, seems real and as long as we are here we treat is as
       very real, I do too, but it's not true and so it does not really
       exist at all. But knowing that doesn't help you one bit here.
       this, on the other hand:

       Does actually makes sense to me... It's logical on my page. :)

       There is a fraction of non-dualists that go the "nothing is
       real, I can do whatever I want" route. Adya warns against it,
       you hear many other teachers talk about it as a mistake... Who
       knows? We seem to have that experiment going on here in the
       forum right? Coolio  8)

       Steve, I never read Adya, but yes, he is right, from where I am.
       I don't belong to the club of 'Deny ALL'. This is not what my
       existence confirms to me.
       Subjectivity of trusting own gut is very beneficial. Gut and
       sense perception are my only guides these days.
       Frits, we can never be on the same page. You still seem to be
       looking for some sort of 'brotherhood', while we all are writing
       our own books. Alone. Absolutely.
       Besides... all will arrive. Jed himself didn't realise just HOW
       profound this phrase is, from an energetic point of view. He
       doesn't understand energies, coz his makeup is very cerebral. So
       Frits, I could share why you state what you do, and why I state
       what I do, and why we both attained what we LACKED prior, but
       that would be very occult knowledge. I keep it to myself.
       You used to be a hard core realist.
       It just makes me smile.

       One has to release what one "thinks" they are made of before
       they can fall into what is real... However unreal Maya may be,
       we are still tethered to this existence, we are still asked to
       respond to "unreality", it is how the dreamer responds, as if
       it's all real, that seekers looking for a path are trying to
       avoid. They are looking to "awaken" from the dream, awakening
       does not mean the dream is over, just that one who is awakened
       has the ability to direct their own dream, this is where I think
       Justin is coming from, He is the Steven Spielberg of his
       consciousness' dream. Cool.
       I'm of a slightly differing experience, I did that version,
       created everything I wanted from the dream and was still left
       wanting... So, my recent experience has been of negation of self
       to the extent that god orchestrates everything, no me making
       choices or dictating the script. It's an awesome and crazy way
       to live the dream, being swept away happily in it. It's not
       possible to live this way without the extreme certainty that
       comes from U/C and a drop into the void. Anything else is just
       pretending at truth.  Just the experience here. Your results
       WILL vary.
