Might need a spoiler alert if you haven't seen the show and want to (I haven't). Didn't know where to stick this, so just thought I'd place it here. I still enjoy gritty looks at the darker side of light, when folks seem right on the edge and may/not be aware of walking some fine line between schizo mind-based interpretations and bringing someNothing into greater clarity. I kinda see it all as a mediation of sorts, beseeing the boundless take on shape and meaning into formation of context.

Oh, yes. It has been the tool for thinking, problem solving, remembering, perceiving, etc, while also imagining, assuming, believing. Somewhere down the line, it dreamt itself as an entity, giving birth to one of the core illusions around which all was referenced as good/bad, important/discardable, holy/evil, etc. It gets muddled when sorting through it, and certain well-rutted patterns have been fired and wired for decades, so it's easy to get confused at times for a while. You might even treat it as one of your clients for a while, maybe, to get some perspective on it. Not sure what all you do in that regard. It’s just such an odd place to be because your mind informs you of everything. Mainly the how you feel part. Mind is of the past, so yeah the feelings are part of that involvement, so real and surreal.
Now, here you go again You say, you want your freedom Well, who am I to keep you down It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully, to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering what you had And what you lost And what you had And what you lost Oh, thunder, only happens when it's raining Players, only love you when they're playing They say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know You'll know Now, here I go again, I see The crystal vision I keep my visions to myself It's only me, who wants to Wrap around your dreams and Have you any dreams you'd like to sell Dreams of loneliness Like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering, what you had And what you lost And what you had Ooh, what you lost Thunder, only happens when it's raining Players, only love you when they're playing Women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know Oh, thunder, only happens when it's raining Players, only love you when they're playing They say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know You'll know You will know Oh, you'll know

Which would mean that there is something then, 'responding' or in other words, 'causing/catalyzing.' That's yet another in the dream idea. It doesn't matter how subtly you change the terms. The Truth is there is no-thing that is 'responding.' It's all one, singular seamless movement...no separate something catalyzing any distinctly appearing 'part' of it. One day you will seethe truth that consciousness is creating the reality. I will wait until then. Creator/Creation is one, but the distinction is absolute. Reality begins to look purely creative, rather than logical or reasonable. Of course, contextually speaking, meaning, logic, and reason have their place as mind-based tools/functions.

One day you will seethe truth that consciousness is creating the reality. I will wait until then. Perhaps one day YOU will see that consciousness is not a some-thing for which you can directly assign doership to. The term 'consciousness' is a pointer beyond all concepts...beyond any-thing that mind can imagine. You have a some-thing in mind when you use that term and that's why you assign doership directly to it. It certainly seems that way at times, like when he gives me certain rabbit holesque replies.

We're used to comprehending and/or figuring things out with our minds. We're used to potentially losing things we've "learned/attained/earned/found/etc". When one is waking up or has had some taste of Being or a very distinct realization, it seems like a connection or some new understanding has been made, and we begin to play stories about it, what it means, etc.This conditioning will naturally give rise to a fear of sorts... in the mind. Notice that when such stories, conclusions, or fear arise, one can begin to go unconscious, getting pulled back into the limitations of the unconscious beliefs/patterns, however genuine they may seem to be. It's natural to do so, but you seem to prefer stabilizing in the Realization of What Is, has always been and always will be Here/Now.
It's likely to get messy, so be cool for now. Take time outs to just settle into Presence throughout the day. Keep it simple. Draw on wisdom within.

You can't act like a monkey once after you have clearly seen yourself to be a human. It's certainly within the realm of infinite potential! Just ask my wife!

Yeah, I'm sure he did it all for the benefit of mankind.
I do reckon we share a similar degree of cynicism about the power game. Have you heard about the 117th's H.R. 1? If you haven't, it's actually sort of an interesting question: why not? I had only read/heard bits and pieces of it, but did not know it by name. Hopefully, it will provide more transparency on elections and electors. But, alas, it will likely just promote more bickering. I know, that's hard to imagine.
Forward through the fog!!

Yeah, I agree how there's a larger game than Trump being played, and that is where the real focus should be. Too bad he was just as preoccupied with winning and power as the powers that be, and loaded to the gills with his own baggage. Might have actually amounted to something. What we have now is just a good ole societal blood letting going on. Be interesting to see if more peeps take notice and own responsibility. As I've said more than once in this thread, seems to me Trump is a symptom, not a cause. It would be nice if there was someone with fewer flaws committed to reform. But this is a timeless cultural conundrum. Here are two book-ends to it:
(1) Machiavelli : "it's better to be feared than to be loved"
Someone who doesn't have an interest in power is very unlikely to pursue it to the extent that leads to much of it. This is the rarity of a Washington, or a Cincinatus, but those are, by now, each more legend, than fact. This is one of those insoluble puzzles that seem to me to reflect what the mind makes as existential paradox. One way to state it is with an LOA classic: "you become what you fight against". Right, and he's just one among many in a whole host of elected leaders and, much to his chagrin, limited in power by a Constitution.
And, we all know what wins the "last" battle, try as one might! And on and on it goes.... until.

Yes in a way it’s fired up a million more questions, it’s a slippery little bugger. It feels like it needs to understand and know everything now from a new perspective but it’s just trying to take control back now back... Oh, yes. It has been the tool for thinking, problem solving, remembering, perceiving, etc, while also imagining, assuming, believing. Somewhere down the line, it dreamt itself as an entity, giving birth to one of the core illusions around which all was referenced as good/bad, important/discardable, holy/evil, etc. It gets muddled when sorting through it, and certain well-rutted patterns have been fired and wired for decades, so it's easy to get confused at times for a while.

When blame, personal selves, etc arise, one is engaging (perhaps has even fallen into... if blame/anger are intensifying) the dreamplay. It's helpful to stay conscious to what one actually "knows" and allow for the fact that it can get weird in the transition to clarity. You're free to engage though, or not.
So, once an illusion is seen to be an illusion, what then?
Clarity is not something you can remember and act accordingly. It's not something you have to be conscious every time. Falling into the dream once upon the awakening is nonsense, you and ZD have been playing this game. But it's very sad that I couldn't help you both. The whole point of the post was to specifically contextualize and be aware of when mind/the dream is being engaged. We're clear on that, right?
I am not sure what game you are referring to, but thank you for helping. Don't be sad. 🥺
So, once again, what happens to an illusion when it is seen to be an illusion? 😇

Honest and refreshing stuff. Welcome back.
Yes, the mind tool will need to be reworked a bit to help it come to terms with its demotion. It can be an ornery and crafty lil bugga. I’d appreciate any help. Like I say, I have to constantly enquire at this stage. The connection feels incredibly weak and that I could easily loose it... We're used to comprehending and/or figuring things out with our minds.
