Well. We have both said what we said, and if you understand me that is great.
I know that you that I am assuming things based on your words. Are you saying I am
assuming wrong? Are you saying that you are enlightened? It is not so rare, so I could be assuming.
I know quite a few enlightened people, probably over a hundred. Thanks to the internet we can find each other!
But if you were you wouldn't be saying what you are saying even if you are willfully using inaccurate words as symbols.
I am not picking on the words, but the concepts they are symbolizing to you.
And I am not criticizing you either. Or trying to convert you, or anything.
I am supporting you, saying keep doing what you are doing.
so it isn't that I am not understanding you.
I am on your side with you on this.
You and me are the same.
I know that your true nature that is reading
this sentence is lucid. I know that is where I exist also.
I am not misunderstanding you, I am you.
(That is an example of me using words symbolically,
actually we are one in that we both don't exist).
This awareness that you think is yours that is reading this sentence
right now is the only awareness in existence.
We are the same entity, you and me,
so I understand you like I understand myself.
You are reacting because I am saying you are not enlightened yet
or because I am saying you already are but don't believe it.
I am not criticizing your practice.
But enlightened folks don't have a practice.
I don't really understand what you think I am misunderstanding.
Rather, you are defending your practice, which I am not attacking,
just saying that it will transcend itself and what to look for when it does.
Maybe you are saying that you are not an ego. That what you are doing is taming the ego, conditioning the ego.
That you are in control of the ego. That it is not that hard, you have your ego tamed well to notify you
when it becomes distracted or whatever. I understand that. I am saying to simply recognize, have the insight,
that this 'you' that is in control of the ego is also the ego. Of course the ego doesn't like to hear that.
And feels misunderstood. Maybe I should stop using the word ego because I think everybody thinks of that
in Freudian terms and it seems that is the whole misunderstanding no matter how many times I try to clarify that.
There is no self beyond the ego. Just vast emptiness that is one with everything that arises in it.
I am that guitar leaning against the wall. I am one with it. I can feel what it feels like to be that guitar. I can tell from here whether or not it is in tune. And it is in tune.
I am one with the wall. I know what texture it is, because it is arising within me. I close my eyes and I can still feel it.
The rug, I can tell that it is dirty without looking at it.
Etc. etc. This is always the case since the beginning of time. But because we think that we exist separate from it we cannot usually experience this.
So yes you are psychic, but if you have to ask then you are dreaming you are psychic! But you create this whole world every moment literally! Literally literally! So of course you are psychic. There is nobody else's mind to read that you haven't created! Just like a lucid dream. There are two ways of looking at how to read somebody's mind. One way (the relative symbolic way) is to project your ego into the other person's heart. That is why you are seeing out of your eyes and have access to your memories, because your ego is in this body. But you can project the ego to anywhere, just like a dream. First try projecting it in different parts of your body, then project it a few inches in front of you with your eyes horizontal with your heart. But this is not the correct way to do it because it is an act of will and implies duality and illusion. Because that is an act of will.
The only times I look out somebody else's eyes and have access to their memories is while making love, in surrender, or in dreams. Because it is so intimate to do this with humans, and I am quite shy, I find it easier to do with inanimate objects, like the guitar, the candle, the trees, the sky. Oh to do it with the sky! That is blisssss... To read the sky's mind! Lol
And it isn't words or information, but you ARE it! literally. You know how it feels sometimes when you are making eye contact with someone but you feel you must look away? That is to prevent any ego jumping through. That is why you go through the heart. That is where we all want to be one. The head wants to be separate. lol.
