"YOU are the universe". Okay. That's great, that's amazing, but how to feel it? Does anybody know? :) I am not asking for phrases like "You are already this, only your mind is making too much noise". I ask straight and expect a simple answer from someone who knows the answer, as if someone would explain it to a small child :) Please.
Good point. From our perspective, we feel independent. From what I understand, the feeling of oneness with the universe is enlightenment. I recommend you check out Alan watts and Eckhart Tolle for some practical guidance on how to feel more in tune with being. Also, the feeling of oneness can’t be explained via language and words. It is beyond that. That’s why you’re having a tough time finding an answer. It is beyond mind concepts. Some describe it as a feeling of ‘everything is right, or perfect’ but that is just an oversimplification of the feeling. Putting it into words doesn’t do it justice.
@@wisdom-for-life I'm sorry I didn't reply so long, but I just didn't have anything worthwhile to say. Today I wanted to thank you for your inspiration. Even though I had known the works of Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Osho, Anthony De Mello, Dan Millman, Nisargadatta and many, many others, I just couldn't understand the point, and for years I have been looking for answers. Only today, after listening to Alan Watts' lecture, I understood. Even though I still identify with the ego, which I know is an illusion and does not exist :D I know that we are one energy, we are the universe experiencing itself. Overall, nothing has changed, but on the other hand, everything has changed. My view of the world is changing, there is still a lot of work ahead of me, but now at least I know what it is about (I know that when I know what is going on and can name it, that's not what it is about, but still … I think I know what is going on :D). Life doesn't really make sense except life itself. Death does not exist and is a transformation of energy. I still don't feel it, but at least the mind is satisfied to some extent, although a satisfied mind is a bored mind and I will probably start feeling dejection, again soon. Anyway, thanks again for inspiration again and I wish you all best :)
@@indywidualista_ My bad, didn't know you knew of all of those spiritual teachers. Seems like you're much more aware than most. It's a tough topic because we are trying to talk about something that is simply beyond language, ego, mind concepts, etc. I wouldn't even call it a feeling. It's beyond that. Alan Watts helps a lot.. I did find some really awesome videos that can explain it better than I. Check them out and let me know what you think. There are 3 parts.. all very good! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bw9zSMsKcwk.html
@@wisdom-for-life I watched the first two parts a few years ago, and the third one I haven't seen yet. Thanks for reminding me of this series. I'll watch again all three in my spare time.
The Universe is an appearance in the eternal consciousness which is constantly changing. Our awareness never changes. Remember when you were a child you were aware of very different things and different beliefs but your awareness today is just the same as then. When you are asked how old are you or how do you feel does it sometimes take a bit to become aware of the answer? We are always aware the only thing that changes is what we are aware of. We choose what we are aware of by what we choose to focus on. Imagine many different places in your mind and they will appear as you choose them just as memories appear. If we don't choose then things will just appear out of habit according to our mood. See if this is not true. When we are angry things that go with that feeling just automatically appear in our minds the same is true for all emotions. We will also tend to focus on what goes with our emotions in the world we experience. We will find that we experience things quite often that go with our mood if we are mindful of our thoughts and feelings. Ever notice when in a good mood like being in love we are not bothered by things that would have usually upset us. It takes time to form new habits of thinking and finding positive view points but once we are aware that these things determine the world we see then we will see the value on continuing to be aware and to choose better points of view for our own good and those around us because they are equally important in forming our world. Fortunately we have an infinite amount of time to practice creating a better world because even as people appear to die life goes on eternally. 🙏
If you aren’t stopping world hunger, then it’s probably not your mission to do so... but if we are the universe (and even if we aren’t) we can certainly help to curb world hunger... locally. Where were at. That’s where we really have impact... where we are.
@@respectfullydisagree711 I've added by cooking for local shelters on holidays as I'm single with no family and was a chef for 15 years. I was asking hypothetically. Perhaps I was wanting to know the idea of why we have so little control over the universe if we are the universe. I believe we must be, but why don't we have the right to make decisions.
