they don't know it

I'd also like to say that I have read more really interesting comments and ideas, philosophies etc. by so many here . . . well, it's like a gift. I'd like to sit down and spend time with about a hundred different people whose comments I have read. - - but of course that would not be possible they don't know how really interesting they are
so I'll hang and just keep reading and responding to the few I can

OK Xan

OK Xan, I agree; "dive" it really is. I like the implication in this also that nothing really matters here in the long run or overall sense, that is unless we decide to take it too seriously . . . . . . . . . - - or identify with it, or ANY thing here, personally {if you do, it's "gotcha"}

Planet Earth is a school , often of hard knocks. Someone volunteers you to go to school but after a while, a few THOUSAND LIFETIMES, say, you realize your old school is NOT your home . . . . . and then you know you've gotta be movin on

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

It's simply a descriptive term pointing to the ineffable nature we already are.
Not something that is gradually becoming more formless as in without a body/form,
Because we aren't the body now, we have no form already.

Well... I never subscribed to the "nothing really matters" notion. In my view, everything matters... each moment's awareness... in the false or the true.

Thanks for sharing that Elijah, I was thinking what I should say to Xan, but you said it for me.

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
