Does this mean we're transitioning into your mind when we transition?

I hope we can rearange a bit.

Are there many individuals or only one individual?

*Oneness*; what does this mean?

It's okay.

I used words I did not even understand myself. Like "transitioning"

Loved your new baby observing post in the Buddhist thread by the way.

I just had a new joyful happening with a toddler at a Bday party and it touched me deeply.
It was nice to have a break from quote "adult conversation" to just being and connecting with no words.

just for the record, i think that whole non-orgasm teaching is dumb - its the best bit and along comes some expert telling us, no, you will suffer and probably never escape samsara. I would never read a book that suggested this idea and the worst thing I can image is getting halfway through then suddenly the idea is introduced.. its a scandal

It doesn't say to never have an orgasm.
There's a lot of misinformation out there which you seem to have come across.

I personally have never come across any teachings on Samsara never being attained if you have an orgasm. Maybe it's in books I haven't read..
