There could be reincarnation in the story. [26:00] The “I” is not necessarily dependant on the mind. The body dies and the I live on. That is all part of the illusion but the I that is not attached to the body there’s still attention, there’s still a knowing. That’s all an illusion. But the I that is not attached to the body, that’s eternal But it is not infinite. It has a platform called “I am”. The I am is what gives the platform for everything to open up and you can see and other worlds and you can Say psychedelic images and all those things that the I am is supposedly capable of period but it’s all elusion.Once the I is dropped, all space and time is dropped, then you go wow!!!!

Talking about fitting things in to make it better – that’s the story of “me”. That search is eternal because there is no better. There is this endless search of filling a need that something is wrong and needs to be fixed by following someone like Jesus or Buddha or Ramana Maharshi. It’s that same ENDLESS. CYCLE.

This is fulfillment it is complete. There’s no need to be or become special anymore. THIS IS WOW !!! THIS IS IT !!! THERE’S NOTHING TO HOPE FOR!

The misunderstanding is that something needs to change, to come or to go away, for things to be in that Wow state. This is it!!!

Nothing is known already. Knowing is the illusory world, the dream.

Every “thing” is a construct. People assume that a certain construct is what they are, what they need to be, to get, to become – all is temporary. The basic problem for the individual is the belief in a separated self. The reason it can never find what it’s looking for is because it’s not separate from what it’s looking for. There is only what is and the separate self will never know that. The story it’s telling itself never happened. The individual lives in a world of something else and there is no something else. The problem is that the individual is arrogant so it arrogates everything to itself: it owns everything. The story of the individual is I am the center of the universe I am important it’s all about me! The individual is a contracted sense [in the body/mind]. The only thing the individual can do is to separate itself. It can’t imagine reality without itself – the wholeness and completeness and fulfillment. The individual is caught up in the wonder of all the sights and sounds in this room and all the questions and all the colors and what’s going on. It never realizes that all of this [and infinitely more] is already known. They miss the miraculous wonder of it all. The individual has no idea what is being suggested here. None!
