Discussion your personal interpretation or example for non-duality:

1. Blisser A

No matter what it is, just accept it. For example, when I didn't eat dinner on Friday and Sunday, I would expect to eat a good and big breakfast next day before. However, I don't expect it now.

2. Blisser B

I was excited to get a good job because I thought it was a big company. But, it turned out to be a nightmare. So, don't think working for a big company is a good choice.

3. Blisser C

Bicycling to 太平mountain in a rainy day and I was soaking and felt cold. I ate a meal. Although the mall was common, I felt it was delicious.

Feedback from Blissers about the meeting

Blisser A

What a vibrant atmosphere today at the Bliss meet-up. The movie director, big cheese, Ellen, maneuvered the show quite well while the script writer Angel who acted as facilitator stood behind the scene.  Probably Angel has been the most influential person who bridged the gap among audiences. 

Though Ellen, the firefighter, acted as acting director, her capability, and talent, soul-searching techniques that triggered everyone’s inner voice and reactivated our power to appreciate Dualities.  She is one of a kind doing the presentation.

What left unknown is our true mentor Angel would have to stand upfront by the podium addressing her inner thoughts and philosophy? For further enlightening us, you have the call. We wait for you, Angel.

Other than that, this transcendental subject is yet to further explore. There was no awkward silence but passion. There’s no idling but brain-rebooting.

To wrap up my remarks, there is a law of attraction. What goes around comes around! Failure is not troublesome while success is awesome. While high tide rises, low tide will come as well. Be resilient, hard-working, analytical, and be a truth seeker, then we should find solutions.  Although we let the nature take its course, we still have to do our job.

Blisser B:

If there is still an opportunity, I would like to be happy to see more "free-style", extensive and in-depth discussion on related subjects, “to be open-minded", though.  After all, it's about spiritual enlightenment. (Smiling cloud)  

Willing and daring to think out of "the mentor's" box might make us more free and comfortable to explore broader horizons and break limits to achieve self-awareness and enlightenment.

Blisser C

I was so glad to be there and happy to see you again! Thank you for your great sharing. 

No one knows what is going to happen tomorrow and I believe the things having happened to me is a beautiful gift in the end.

Let’s enjoy the life and the journey of self-discovery!

Blisser D:

1. I think the enlightenment is to try to know what the reality is.

2. I am the watcher and want to be awakened watcher, because I am not sure if I am awakened.
