Today I am resting. When there are more people, I want to talk about death in a more direct way than before. This is a topic I have tentatively discussed in various groups; it is a topic that can easily anger people, opening a Pandora's box of fear.
People refuse to talk about death, believing that death is an end. Compared to the unknown, people fear losing the known even more. On the other hand, the qualifications of the speaker may not be sufficient. I am qualified to discuss this topic, starting at 16:00.
14 2020/5/28 14:51:52
Talking about death requires a witness to make a sacrifice. I will use words to create a witness, a "god," the source of all things, as fuel for my topic at 16:00.
The source of all things is a being that dreams, is in contradiction, wants to know itself and to be known. It is both the fantasy itself and the need to stop fantasizing. It is the dream while awake and also a limited interpretation of the dream.
The key to all problems does not lie in recognizing the truth, because the truth has always been right in front of us; it is too close to be noticed. Recognizing the truth does not end the problem; on the contrary, it begins the problem. How to find freedom, complete freedom, after knowing the truth?
14 2020/5/28 15:32:31
When one day you can be completely desperate, no longer holding any expectations or seeking answers, the answers will naturally appear. This is a joke: give up the truth and you will get the truth; give up the answers and you will get the answers.

Is it so tragic to get the truth?!
@nobody If you give up everything, you will have everything. This seems very strange, but it is true. You cannot hold a sword in your left hand and a fork in your right to embrace others. If you want a hug, both hands must be empty.

@14 From a spiritual perspective, I can understand. I think you don't have to give up everything; just let go of the identification with this small self. Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle both suddenly could no longer identify with the small self. From a mortal perspective, giving up everything has another explanation.
14 2020/5/28 15:46:25
Giving up everything is not an active choice; it feels more like a passive act, like admitting a mistake. A person realizes they are wrong but cannot make amends and can only pray. I am willing to give up everything to atone for past harm to others. This is how sincerity is first discovered.
14 2020/5/28 15:58:38
Once discovered, one will understand that it has always been by their side, never leaving. A deeply loved person, no matter how far apart, will meet again and always be together, even after death.
14 2020/5/28 16:02:23

@14 Is love a double-edged sword? Is love's destructive power that great?!
@nobody The reason love's destructive power is so great is due to a misunderstanding: the belief that there will be separation, but in fact, there will not.
14 2020/5/28 16:06:33

In fact, even if there is no separation, it does not mean that one can be together forever.
@Shallow Smile Heart Soft It depends on whether you have the courage to face it. It's very much like undergoing surgery without anesthesia, fully experiencing the process of the operation. If you have the courage to see it all, when you are reborn, you will clearly see how you traversed mountains and rivers, reappearing beside the one you deeply love, opening your eyes again, thinking, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."

@14 Are you saying I will experience the cycle of this life again...?
@Shallow Smile Heart Soft Yes, if you die, you will forget everything and live again, just to do better next time. What is called transcendence is not coming to another path, but walking the path you have walked countless times in a more splendid way, walking it without regret.
14 2020/5/28 16:21:15
People have a great sense of dependence, just like people in this Bashar group, always hoping to learn something, always wanting to collect a painting to hang on the white wall of their hearts. In fact, the problem is obvious: we cannot grasp this very second, so what can we grasp? What is the ultimate purpose of everything we do? If we do not rationalize our current problems, we can unveil the puzzles we have designed for ourselves.
14 2020/5/28 16:42:49
Forgetfulness of self and object.
How can one escape the cycle of reincarnation?
@Forgetfulness of self and object. Love does not exist at the end of time. If it does not appear in the present, it will never appear again. A world without love is a world of reincarnation. If the love in your heart awakens, the world of reincarnation and the place of enlightenment are indistinguishable; the structure is exactly the same.

Death is a topic that is easy to discuss but difficult to teach. If taught in a cautious manner, it may become a mental burden. However, if it is too direct, I fear people may struggle to grasp this understanding and get stuck between point A and point B.
The only solution to this problem is patience. Both listening and speaking require patience. However, the environment we are chatting in currently lacks such a space for patience, making this process uncomfortable. I suggest everyone find a job or a short-term, daily-paid work, so that while maintaining survival, you can practice while drinking coffee; this is safer.
In life, experiment, practice in motion, and see whether what I say is a myth or if it can truly be glimpsed, or if one can travel back and forth between myth and reality, exploring the path of self-understanding with half-belief.
14 2020/5/28 16:58:23
The word "death" has been imbued with too much horror. Death has become a bottom line, a limit to freedom of action. Whatever we do, we cannot go over it; otherwise, you will die! If you die, it will all be meaningless.
All moral and legal foundations are established on the basis of safeguarding life, resisting death. If someone were to say something good about death or express knowledge about it, people's reaction would be to tell them to go die.
442492657 2020/5/28 17:02:30
However, the understanding of death has been brought forth by many bodhisattvas and enlightened beings. Because considering the collective consciousness of people, they are still unable to accept it, so it is expressed in a very indirect yet truthful manner. Simply put, an enlightened being guarantees that what they say is true; as for whether you understand or not, I don't care. It's not that I don't care; it's that everyone is still unable to accept it. People are not ready to accept the truth; they cannot digest it. This packaged understanding has the side effect of creating significant divisions and misunderstandings, misjudgments, and supporting people's self-deception, turning some achievable things into myths, just talking without acting. If we talk about the highest realm, it becomes vague, using "indescribable" to gloss over it, or shifting the blame to God. In fact, it can all be clearly stated. Once you have seen it once, speaking about it becomes very simple. Two people who have eaten an apple can easily talk about apples without needing to clarify everything.
14 2020/5/28 17:05:52
The topics people discuss always revolve around the meaning of life, the meaning of being alive, what achievements can be reached, what realms can be attained, comparing who has a higher realm in a competitive manner, who understands more. In fact, this is a form of obsession. Up to now, I have yet to meet anyone who has asked about the meaning of death. Life and death are two equal topics, yet people are very obsessed with only asking about life and are taboo about discussing death.
14 2020/5/28 17:07:26
If this continues, it will ultimately be irretrievable. One will only feel deceived by something because the arrival of death is very fierce and irreversible.
14 2020/5/28 17:09:50
I will smoke a cigarette and take a 10-minute break before continuing.
14 2020/5/28 17:29:09
I will continue tonight. I will type up the words tonight, and everyone can read them in the morning when they wake up; no need to follow the series.

@14 Why are you still smoking? Eating meat? Drinking alcohol?
14 2020/5/28 18:53:11
Eating meat, drinking alcohol.

Then how do you maintain that awareness to answer them?
14 2020/5/28 19:51:39
Smoking, eating meat, drinking alcohol, and watching sports are a pleasure. Good things and bad things will always exist. The question is their influence on us, like a shadow, dark, always accompanying us, but it's okay.
442492657 2020/5/28 19:59:41
Change is always happening and cannot be stopped; this is one of our basic characteristics. We are constantly changing, even if the degree seems small. Consciousness expands, not to change into something more conscious, but to establish a trusting relationship with the heart, knowing that what appears is what I need in the present, and the current environment contains the answers the heart seeks.
The more you expand your consciousness, the more you will let go. The more you surrender, the more you receive because you understand that everything is a projection under the state of mind. The present is what you need most. Ultimately, it is not you who is walking; it is the road that is moving. Things happen naturally, and the synchronistic effect continues to occur. This synchronization can be magical, and wishes come true, bringing great excitement. In that excitement, doing things that break limitations still feels safe and assured.
【Group friend】A Spark of Fire 2020/5/28 20:10:08
You all love me very much.
14 2020/5/28 20:22:49
Love is not only accompanied by beauty and light but also dances with ugliness and darkness. Love can also change, which is why we often love someone and then stop loving them, feeling something is off and wanting to initiate love again. In fact, it is all love. Love is always present, just like the sparks that appear when a blacksmith forges iron. Love appears tenderly amidst joy and sorrow, and that tenderness is infinite, fearless power, a glimmer of light that pierces through all illusions.
14 2020/5/28 20:38:29
I will continue the topic from the afternoon. This is not about preaching; it is very much like choosing fruit in a supermarket. A new product may pique your curiosity, and you might want to try it.
14 2020/5/28 20:40:55
It is still very relaxed. I hope everyone can practice easily, drinking coffee, basking in the sun, chatting and laughing naturally, rather than engaging in a harsh practice, like forcing a dog to sniff its urine and telling it how wrong that is.
14 2020/5/28 22:24:31
Everyone, please don't speak. I will do my best to answer this question. Even enlightened beings cannot answer this question. This question involves the ultimate purpose of consciousness: what is satisfaction? Letting go, opening up.
14 2020/5/28 22:27:36
I cannot organize complete language to answer this question. This is my first time answering. I only have images. I will try; it will get better in the future.
Satisfaction must first have a condition, which is a bit harsh for people today. The primary condition is that one cannot have memories, cannot possess past memories.
14 2020/5/28 22:29:24
Every position, every image, every moment of that present possesses memory. Everyone always has their own position, and that position itself has memory. It is new, very fresh. However, people's existence is an illusion produced by a series of projections that they cannot yet believe. People have a habit of thinking that the development of things is continuous.
14 2020/5/28 22:32:55
Therefore, people will disregard the feelings of the present and use old memories to fit, using old perspectives and feelings to forcefully impose on the new situation and circumstances of the present, leading to constant conflicts and troubles. If a person gives up past experiences and memories, relying solely on the feelings of the present, they can naturally find solutions to problems. Every moment and environment we are in does not lack information that reveals solutions to problems.
In fact, it is easy to find. The problem is that people have become accustomed to a safe and comfortable social structure, dislike challenges, dislike chaos, and dislike new things. People prefer the old because it is safe, guaranteed, and based on experience and memory.
14 2020/5/28 22:37:45
If a person can discern or even give up old experiences and memories, relying solely on present awareness to experience life, the sense of satisfaction will reach a peak within a period of time, leading to a feeling of release. It is like someone who has been imprisoned for 10 years suddenly being released; there will be an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, followed by a moment of silence due to helplessness, and then thoughts begin to operate, worrying about what to do, how to live after being released, returning to the old path, seeking safety through the old road of memories and experiences, forgetting the present awareness once again.
14 2020/5/28 22:40:37
Old memories must be completely severed. Life must always feel like the first encounter. It requires enlightenment to enter samadhi and experience various life adventures in the universe before it can be cultivated. Reaching that level on this earth is difficult to achieve in a short time; it generally takes years, decades, or even a lifetime to attain a moment of satisfaction and release.
14 2020/5/28 22:42:25
If someone is forgetful, especially prone to forgetting things and losing things, they may be particularly special. They do not need to enter samadhi to cultivate; they can live as if it were the first encounter in this world, at least more times than ordinary people.
14 2020/5/28 22:42:40
Today's topic ends here.
14 2020/5/28 22:45:24
The complete process of projection can clearly show how one traverses countless parallel universes. To project requires consciousness, and to return requires satisfaction. Every time a projection goes back and forth, satisfaction is needed. Therefore, strictly speaking, a person is indeed new at every moment, a complete newcomer. Moving from the left hand to the right hand is no longer the same hand.
14 2020/5/28 22:47:05
Satisfaction does not require deliberately doing anything to achieve it. The information for satisfaction is present in our current environment, which is every moment of the environment. If ignored, this environment will repeatedly appear or move very little until it is discovered that this environment contains the answers one has been desperately seeking. "Treading through iron shoes without finding it, only to find it effortlessly" refers to this.
442492657 2020/5/28 22:51:37
If you lose old memories and give up the concept of continuity, then you will see how you traverse countless parallel worlds, arriving here with conviction. The torment is merely seeing the current environment and breathing the air, which will lead to complete satisfaction. People are very afraid to discover that they are projections of the present, that they are new. People want to use memory and continuity to avoid the torment brought by traversing parallel worlds and the time intervals involved.
In fact, this torment is very important because it is this torment that makes one so happy when successfully projecting to a location. It is not through old memories that one thinks, "I was there just now, and now I have walked here." That is too ordinary and meaningless.
14 2020/5/28 22:52:41
The present has new memories; there is no need for old memories to replace the new memories of the present. Otherwise, a person's mind will become dull, enthusiasm will be worn away, and eventually, they will become rigid and stiff.
442492657 2020/5/28 22:58:56
The sentence I started with above is an old memory, telling everyone not to speak, which is a fear of encountering new situations, wanting to use old methods, a combination of punches to solve problems, not allowing new situations to arise. This is self-deception. If someone interrupts me while I am speaking, then I should stop. If someone wants to joke or play a game with me, I should joke and play with them, rather than saying, "You have disturbed me; I am discussing something very important."
A mind that lives in the present, free from old memories, is always willing to dance with the environment, enjoying unexpected situations because unexpected situations carry strong signals, information, and reminders.
14 2020/5/28 23:04:14
Children are easily satisfied because they do not have too many old memories and have not been hurt too much. They do not need to use old memories and experiences to arm themselves completely, making themselves solid and invulnerable. What children see is all new, so they are easily satisfied; a lollipop can make them happy for a day.
14 2020/5/28 23:08:13
You can see it at all times if you are willing, but it may still be too early for you now.
【Group friend】nobody 2020/5/28 23:08:19
I wish I could get rid of those memories. Most of my memories are numb, not fresh at all, and lack joy, making it hard for me to recognize that it is me.
【Group friend】nobody 2020/5/28 23:08:48
I am willing, but I haven't seen it.
14 2020/5/28 23:09:07
If your love awakens, I am telling you how to see parallel worlds. In fact, by then, I won't need to say it; within a few years, you will discover it yourself.
【Group friend】nobody 2020/5/28 23:09:21
Do parallel worlds have anything to do with memory?
14 2020/5/28 23:10:00
They have nothing to do with memory; they are related to preference.
14 2020/5/28 23:11:11
Parallel worlds are equal. All content will appear. It is essentially reincarnation; you can choose what you like. However, for you at that time, since there are no memories, and that present environment also has no memories, there will be no language. You need to use preferences to project.
Therefore, being yourself is very important because, at critical moments, you rely on preferences for projection.
14 2020/5/28 23:20:37
As long as a person's love awakens, many things will become clear. First loving someone is very important; it is a subjugation of self-desire. Finally, someone becomes more important than oneself, and someone's smile becomes more important than one's exploration of the truth.
【Group friend】A Spark of Fire 2020/5/28 23:22:18
I find that I can't even love my son.
【Group friend】A Spark of Fire 2020/5/28 23:22:32
I put myself first.
【Group friend】A Spark of Fire 2020/5/28 23:23:02
It may also be that no one has ever put me first, so I only care about my own feelings.
14 2020/5/28 23:23:35
A person's strength comes from others and things, not from protecting oneself. The strength of protecting oneself is very scattered and small. The strength of protecting and guarding others is very focused and powerful. Moreover, this strength can expand and elevate with compassion, without limits. When we awaken to love, and it expands infinitely, the bubbles of life's fantasies will also expand to the point of bursting. When the dream of the life flower tree awakens, everyone can see where they have always been. It is like a person waking up and realizing they have always been in bed, having gone nowhere, merely having a crystal-clear dream.

@14 Can you talk about the rest?
@Red Demon Sword【Group friend】 You are watching a movie; I cannot spoil it. Saying too much will steal your attention from the present. The rest is your gift package. After you unwrap it, we can exchange gift packages or discuss each other's gift packages.
