What Are You Waiting For?

What are you waiting for?
We spend so much time wishing we were somebody else, a celebrity, a sage, a millionaire. But even if we could be reborn 1000 times as a King, Queen or Emperor we would still have to learn how to navigate our ordinary human experience of thoughts and emotions, birth and death.
In this short talk taken from my weekly zoom group, I explore why everything we need for our own liberation is already here and now, available in this very moment. We just have to start paying attention.

    This person says a lot without really saying much. The reference to the homeless millionaire was certainly telling.

    I am not sure about your take on the dial of destiny.. you said you were looking forward to it - I loved the Indiana Jones movies as a kid and it was an ok film but disappointing for the character.. maybe that is how childhood heroes disappear.. just become unnoticed background characters.. it is good to see this new posting from you here.. I watched your conversation on conscioustv a few years back and was looking for more from your viewpoint.. there wasn’t much else around then from you but you are a good communicator, so it’s so good to see you post this, many thanks

    I agree, there are buddhist long life practices, diets, secret immortal channel opening techniques found in Daoism and so on. We dont have to be slaves to the aspects of cause and effect, when we can redirect it and directly interact with it in a number of ways

    the whole "you're already God" is such ridiculous notion because that presupposes or includes the ability to be able to manifest instantly, stop bullets, time travel, snap my fingers and have instantaneous whatever , and that's not the case. Even with all the awakenings and realizations of Oneness and "I am That Everythingness" still leads to pain when you stub your toe or not having the ability to heal your dog puking from swallowing his snack whole right away. I still cringe when I hear it because of that, and yet I do think a person can link to the Source in a such a way that they can then do all those things, but then you wouldnt even know that such a person exists because they wouldnt flaunt their powers. At least for myself, I'd be hidden and would operate from behind the scenes

    Understand that most masters or accomplished who say this is because they want to denote that self-realization only occurs in the present because there is only that moment. Perhaps they understand that third parties can understand as you do, but since understanding is always personal, perhaps they express themselves and let those who have the wisdom to understand understand, each in their own time, but if you think that tapping your finger and feeling pain is a minimally viable example to apply to any reasoning that involves the revelation of the divine nature, you still have a long way to go, it is something far beyond. Literally any hyperbole is little to express.

    @@RuandosSantosGoncalves My original connotation still applies, if you are God then do God-Like powers and apply them for the sake of humanity. If you can't, and your only capacity is to teach self realization, then you are just playing out a Buddha-like archetype of helping humanity to awaken, and then it isn't anything "God-based" to begin or end with. As a side note, I do think a mere mortal can link up with God in a such a way that actual powers can manifest, beyond just the Self Realization of Consciousness and Beingness and the whole non-dual lot, but alas, I digress
