The mysterious nature of time

[zenmaster]

Thanks Zen. I like the first video that mentions wonder. Though we can't be in wonder all the time, there's so much to experience. Can we recognize our I amness in an expanded state? Or do we recognize it moreso in a balance of expanded and contracted state?

If I am right, Love is expanding, Light is contracting. When I create/manifest a taste (a form of light) for instance, I tighten down the energy.

In your own words, what is your "expanded" vs "contracted" state?

"everything else is a modification, a ripple, and a rising
and
suffering and bondage is the misidentification of i-am-ness with an object
you identify with yourself your ego and your body
and that just is the world of objects they come they stay a bit they torture you and they leave"

Pointing this out is a modification.

I say "I-am-ness" is a modification.
I say the unconscious is a modification.

You see what I see? The ripples start from the point of thought, and everything is just a thought. "I-am-ness 5 millennia ago" is a ripple.

(there is no iamness unless you want to believe there is iamness
and if you want to believe there is iamness then it is nothing more than a desire to think that way and not a discovery of the reality of iamness which makes it totally irrelevant to anything other than fulfilling the desire of the individual that chooses to believe it.

you can watch the audience as they contemplate deeply what he is saying because they want to find something deep and meaningful and try to figure how they want to apply what they are teaching themselves via this deep thought. This is entertainment for the self. And since it is human entertainment, it has no more relevance than a young man hunting deer, or a widow weeping over her fallen spouse.

They can have as much fun as they want, IMO. I encourage them to have fun. My only purpose in speaking on this subject is to say 'it's another form of entertainment'. I have no purpose to argue. I have no purpose to judge. I have no purpose to show distaste. I make an observation. I express my mind. ... for entertainment.)

Did you somehow think it was purported to be something else?
