Following Marshwiggle's post. We always follow a certain set of rules to accomplish whatever we do in this illusion. We already know its an illusion that's why the rules have been made for things to "happen".
Having a clean body would not be automatic because we know what happens when people don't wash themselves. So to get clean we follow some set of rules in place that can make this possible: bath, shower, swimming whatever. So these rules make it possible to get clean. Whenever someone discovers a new way to clean and demonstrates to is how it's done, then we all jump on board and follow those new set of rules. It's all about accomplishment following a set of rules in this illusion.
I don't know but I was looking at the sky last night and remembered Chaol saying "when you look at the sun, you look at yourself". Although there was no sun but the clouds were breathtakingly beautiful just contemplating that I was looking at myself as I looked at the sky. But really why are clouds so breathtaking. Can't you just look at them forever. Always in motion. It even showed me a formation of a heart shape yesterday but I'm sure that was definitely me giving myself a wink so to speak.
I hope we all try to figure out how to break down this illusion of life to the barest minimum. What I'm trying to say is, even if we don't figure out what it's all about, let's give it a damn good try! We have had all the pointers necessary from Chaol and others. We still need more but lets work with what we've got (like we're already doing I guess)
Trust me, life gets very exciting for lazy old me when I think about these things!
Thanks for reading.

I really only come to glp for these threads, to check up on Chaol's latest teaching and my peer's observations. I find it fascinating that we've been advised over and over again that we need only "be" the change we want to see in our realm of existence. Yet, we still focus on what we do not prefer and make that more relative.
I guess my time on glp is spent refreshing my recent threads and creeping Chaol's username to see if he happened to log on... lol (stalkerish I know). I noticed Chaol had logged in at least twice yesterday morning (from my perspective early in the am then closer to noon) and at least once this morning so far and yet he still has 1737 posts. Chaol, I appreciate you coming on and seeing what's up, but why no additions to your thread?
The (next) "nexus" point is tomorrow (from detroit michigan) right? Or today elsewhere (for those already living the 26th).
If I(we) am(are) to adequately "experience" the "change" I'd(we'd) have to perceive it as already present. Yet I find myself constantly evaluating my now for minute transitional identifiers to point at and say "aha! there it is"...
I've had dozens of these moments since I started evaluating my nows for the change. My waking life has truly become like a dream... I notice (often) in conversation that I am aware of what the other person will say next, I'll say it first (sometimes) and they will advise that they were about to say it. Other times, I let them say it and allow the subtle satisfaction of knowing I had already been aware. The most profound experience (as of late) has been when I do not interact (overtly) but instead silently question another internally, only for the "other" to respond as if I had asked verbally.
It is not like a feeling of deja vu, but instead as if I am resting in a groove and the pattern is already obvious.
Anyone else having similar experiences in the last few months?
