  Fuck all of it! There is no "achieving of spiritual awaking". No way of doing something to gain the Truth of what we genuinely are. How can we attain by some effort what already IS? This is insane. This is a trap that will only continue to veil what has always been.

  Please trust that we are, right here, right now, the living freedom of truth which we seek. So the question is: what blinds us to it??? It all comes down to false beliefs generated by the mind that hides what we seek. So it's not a matter of how to get from point A. to point B., but rather clearly identifying what veils the truth from us. It's more about subtraction than addition. Nothing need be added. Nothing.

  Lets really take to heart the wise guidance that Poppers has to share, and really look within at the workings of the mind. Lets be still and non-judgmentally and lovingly observe...and take special note of the silent and pure witnessing awareness.

  All about Shelby

  i wanted to post this thread about shelby.. she get's a lot of grief by what she posts on this site, so i thought i would start a post on how shelby has helped ones that have left the borg.. i can't begin to explain how shelby has helped me, i felt like i was in a hole and she gave me answers to the many questions i had.

  no matter how many emails i bombarded her with, she always took the time to answer.

  yes there has been times when i haven't liked what she posted, but i asked christ to help me understand and he did...... shelby helped me to open my mind and come to the realisation that the borg can no longer stop me from becoming the beautiful person i was destined to become.. i think i speak for many when i say thank you shelby!!!!.

  Do you yearn to know what we are, and why we are here, before you die?

  lets face it, we don't know what humans are.

  science is doing a good job at uncovering many facts about us, but even science cannot explain consciousness yet.

  conciousness is still a strong mystery to us.

  We may think we know what we are, but beyond all the ideas and thoughts about "self", what am I??? (not just me but as a general question).

  Take away all thoughts, ideas and sensations of a self and what remains?: Pure intimate consciousness. Delve into here and let us see what is revealed.

  For if we do not know what we truly are, then how can we know anything about the rest of the universe? The journey starts with the deepest and most intimate silent sense of being, right here, right now......or never.

  Poppers', explanations are extremely beautiful and clear. Certainly coming from a consciousness that lives what is being pointed to. Words to be deeply savored. We are blessed to have him here.

  That said, if anyone would like to see a "teacher" with this same vivid message via YouTube, I suggest checking-out a wonderfully loving fellow named Mooji. There are dozens and dozens of his videos there, everyone of which points us back to the same intimate presence within that dear poppers does. It is time for our searching to end once and for all. We are what we seek.

  Enjoy.

  Truth...Or Truth...truth?

  why do we normally get upset when someone talks about something.

  i can't say this about everyone, but i guess it's only to myself.

  fighting usually results when you think of something as truth.

  "How does one know Truth..."

  It's simple: What is the one thing that you absolutely know to be true? It's that you exist = I am. The rest is just mind jabbering b.s..

  Rest in the ONE thing you undeniably know to be true, and see what happens. Be still. be still. Be still from the mind story, and fall into the truth of your own silent, intimate existence.

  True listening comes from that place beyond our mind. That which is pure consciousness void of judgment or extraneous commentary.

  It comes from that place most intimate to us. A place without walls that in truly empathetic and open. Here, hearing happens in pure silence -- and it is here that hearing is genuinely heard.

  We all have this ability naturally within us as it is the foundation of our being. It's what we really are.

  Everything In The Universe Was Created By Absolutely Nothing.

  this is the purest example of an oxymoron.

  repeat this sentence over and over again and you will realize why it's impossible for some people to accept the big bang model.

  "I just thought of something. If God is omnipresent, that means he's hiding in our peanut butter, under our bed, in our brains, inside the universe, every part of it. If God takes up an infinite amount of space, nothing else can exist because he is taking up all that space. Unless he's INSIDE everything. But, then again, does he exist at the quark level? Is he subatomic? If he is that small, he can't be that big anymore, can he? And the weirdest part of him being inside and outside of everything is this: he is VERY intimate with us. In more ways than one."

  Look at my past posts in this thread, and you will see your answer.
