Exactly. It does seem a contradiction.

I think of it in terms of Absolute/relative, knowing that ultimately all IS or everything is One or ... and I perceive "myself" to be here in a relative state or realm or dimension or whatever, so I express and act in these relative terms. (This includes the ideal of change or betterment etc. illusion ir otherwise it doesn't really matter.) And yes, it can be a conundrum to my human mind if I let it be. But, I usually just know that since I perceive myself to be here at this moment, this is the place I will be the changes and hold the ideals that I find to be the best expression of myself and the world as I see it - for now anyway. (Which might equate with 'being my own idealist' eh?) :-)

Anyone else?

Yes. Indeed a lovely perspective.

Real-I-zing that the conditioned state is perhaps as much an illusion as anything else is another. For example.... as much an illusion as 'being yourself' is. From my perspective at this moment (or from the Absolute perspective anyway), there is no 'other' self to be. :-)

Again welcome and thanks for these thoughts.

All the best,

being your own idealist

start with yourself first ... choose what you would ideally want in your life. not what you are told to want. what you have been soulfully trained to want. but jump outside of the 'isms' box and start believing there is something better for yourself. you don't have to say it like the rest of the idealist say it. you can form your own opinions and become your own being. being who YOU are meant to be. that doesn't come by copying anybody. not me. not them. just to your own self be true. the truth will lead you to. if you really want the truth to lead you. 'be' the change you want to see in the world today. not as difficult as it is made out to be. just start with one small perspective. change that and keep on going. you'll be surprise how the 'ripple effect' will add up and come right back at you. gotta love it! God created an awesome universe. enjoy God now. enjoy the universe now.
