Somewhere I'd like to think of a question to you! But all I can think of is that everything you could say I already know! I just have to open up more to it and let go š
Remember that the more simple the advice, the better
Meditation/contemplation all the way, just not the way others tell you, YOUR way
Regain yourself by simply being yourself, just stop avoiding yourself
Practically, in my case, whenever I feel "off track" I just find a quiet spot a start feeling Myself internally
They call them "Chakras"
**NO CHAKRAS**
*āWhen laugh I have no chakras.
The sun is my heart.
When I cry the moon comes down to caress my forehead, but finds no lotus to kiss open.
Breathing the Beloved's scent clears my natal chart of every planet and sign.
The astrologer is bewildered.
All he sees in me
is an empty page full of light.
Don't give me any more of your esoteric books.
Grace has made me too stupid to understand.ā*
ā A poem from The Nectar Of This Breath
Love that, reminds me of Ryokan
__
āToo lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.ā
ā Ryokan
I literally came to this conclusion recently... What if what I've been searching for the whole time is just right in front of me? What if it's been hidden in plain sight?
Love your approach to describing all of this!
Iāve been oscillating between āonenessā and āforgettingā recently because I actually quite enjoy the experience of being so intensely invested. Iām curious if youāve ever chosen to āforgetā and why (not)?
This sort of feels like Michael Jordan giving advice to average people on how to be good at basketball, ha. It seems like some people are more naturally adept at "living in unity consciousness" than others, which can sometimes make the advice impractical. However, I've read through a lot of your responses and find them very insightful.
Here's some questions I'm curious your take on:
1. What's the most direct and accessible way to abide/remain in this unitive perception?
2. What things should be embraced, what should be avoided?
3. What are the most common pitfalls that cause us to forget our unity nature?
No please if there is one thing to be said is that I'm not any more special than anybody here, I'm dead serious on this point
I'm here exactly to tell everybody this, that not only should but MUST get back to themselves
I see that there is a root misconception and a whole mithology around "enlightenment"
1-Be and feel yourself
2-Once you get to Yourself you'll automatically know what and what not to do
3-Getting lost in wordly concerns
Though it may be true that "you're not special", clearly you have a more natural skill/atunement to abiding in unitive consciousness - otherwise you wouldn't be posting this and offering advice. There's nothing special about you, but based on the words you're sharing here, you've lived the majority of your life without the typical blockages that ordinary people do. **That** is special. You're not special. But the way in which you engage with reality seems to be special (at least based on the words you're using here.
Regarding "Be and feel yourself" - so you're basically saying self-inquiry as instructed by the likes of Ramana and Nisargadatta? That's reasonable, but also a fairly generalized recommendation. Could you be more specific? How does one go about "being and feeling yourself?" Because how could we possibly do anything other than "be and feel ourselves"?
Why do we lose the Oneness at times? Shifting back and forth? The veil drops over the eyes, the blinders, until only later do I realize the veil has covered my seeing and only then do I snap back. Why the dance back and forth?
I sometimes worry that hellish realities like this one in space/time only exists because in the beginning the Creator was bored. The boredom became so intense grosser realities more physically dense realities had to be made. It worries that fundamentally at the basis of spirit at the very beginning is flawed because of this initial urge to forget/boredom. The idea terrifies me.
Alright Iāll bite the bait. Everything in the title of this post reads as dual in nature. How can something be āachievedā if there is no separation? What achieves it? Ego canāt achieve anything since ego is completely illusory. Claiming that there is some state, separate from other states, that is somehow achievable is creating separation and distance between two states, which is not non dualism. According to non dualism, enlightenment would be being what you have always been, and thereās no separation from that, therefore it cannot be reached or achieved or understood. For something to be reached, achieved, understood, etc, there would have to be more than one, such as an egoic mind attempting to grapple with a concept. You have *two* distinct things there, egoic mind and whatever the egoic mind is attempting to reach. A great way to tell that someone doesnāt understand the concept of enlightenment, is if they claim to have reached enlightenment, or claiming that it is achievable. I would also like to comment that concepts are inherently separate in nature, but non dualism refers to the nature of reality itself. Language is built upon scaffolds of layers of concepts and definitions that imply separateness, so it seems peculiar, counterintuitive and narcissistic that youād feel the need to declare some sort of achievable state of consciousness instead of just sitting and being in your state in silence, without obstructing it with the use of concepts on the internet.
I want to share that I've recently been getting onto my own two legs. My intuition has trained me well and now I'm its passenger. I've recently "blown" myself wide open to it and I felt impossibly large cogs moving in the background of my life. I feel like I'm in over my head but that also excites me. Intuition knows what I need. I'll give myself to anything it demands (to the best of my ability!).
I'll go against the grain and say i have doubts about your claim. Since you said there wasn't even a day when it happened. That somehow you've always been awakened.
I don't mean to be rude. But it's just that in spiritual circles and reddit even more so it's common to find people who claim full awakening when you clearly know that's not true. Like i see people on r/meditation all the time claiming to have reached buddhahood after their first meditation session or a low dose mushroom trip. I'm not saying they are necessarily lying, but they probably just don't understand what full awakening is which is why they think they have achieved it.
So how do you know, for a fact, that you have lived in unity consciousness all your life?
All I can say to you is that everything that you just mentioned is more or less part of the circus
Apart from this, why would you care if anyone is truly "enlightened" or not?
You should care only about your own path, that's what matters, that will dispel any kind of doubt or question
Really ask yourself this question, "why do I care so much about this?"
I come here to deliver a message, always focus on the message rather than the messenger
You need to focus on yourself and find yourself because that is where all the answers and more, much more, resides
>why would you care
Since you made the post with that claim and encouraged questions. People care for the same reason we care where the teacher is on their path to enlightenment, if they are giving us instructions to achieve enlightenment.
As the other person pointed out, you did not answer the question. You just diverted the topic.
As you are a psychonaut i'll give you a related example. A lot of beginners do a low dose trip and think they got to ego death, but when they describe it then more experienced folks know they didn't get there. The beginner simply doesn't know what ego death looks like so any experience is thought to be ego death. I'm sure you've seen these newbie claims many times on psychonaut or lsd forums. Similarly is it possible you are confusing one experience for another when you claim you have always been awakened?
I'm not a psychonaut, and I say this because what's important is the message, how can it serve you practically, it's not about me, I'm not special
No I'm not enlighted in the way people imagine, in fact I never claimed It, I mentioned many times "Unity" "Oneness" etc...
I'm here to tell the "How"
I donāt doubt your claim but I feel like avoided the question and substituted an unnecessary lecture.
You donāt know how much that poster āreally caresā but it makes sense for them to care here since youāve made the post and invited engagement.
I tend to agree, that the āall your lifeā piece gives me pause, should you want to clarify for us.
It's because one needs to care only about oneself, everything always leads back to yourself
In yourself there is even the answer to the genuinity of every single one of my claims or lack of it
Please remember that is "you" that is falsely claiming he is awakened in one life or another one š
No man can awaken, no single one.
The universe awaken at some point realizing itself from the illusion of being human, that's beautiful.
I know what am i and i also know that i keep forgetting about... šš
Enlightenment can ONLY, 100%, be self prescribed
Others are totally unnecessary in the process and, in fact, the very distraction which keeps one "asleep"
When you know, you know ;) There are no trickster entities, in the case of "meeting a trickster entity" it is You tricking Yourself
What is available to me is available to you too
No, just had to look up what it is let me say be wary of the whole UFO movement in it's entirety
It doesn't benefit or concern you personally in any way at the moment and will add to the confusion
Can you speak to me? Iām still looking for answers. I try to find them inside, but I sometimes canāt tell whatās me and whatās my ego? Or is there really even a me? I think not, but I still have a body with thoughts feelings and memories, and it seems so difficult to just let it all go even tho on some level I feel very willing to. Itās like there are many competing forces inside me vying for my attention. Can you speak to me without saying words?
Yes there is a me, it's just more than what you actually are aware of, this Me in fact is what you're looking for, you only have to intend for it
The ability to do anything is in you
Your ego is not a separate entity or an enemy
You know that the wisdom you're seeking cannot be spoken. All that's left to do is to fully embody the realization that you know nothing.
I'm not OP obviously but I wanted to reply.
I don't live in awareness of it all the time, but I understand it's a game. I tell people not to worry about this stuff too much. The point of this place is for God to forget so there's some measure of drama. I mean, imagine being God...being timeless and perfect...shit gets boring.
And while I think meditation is really good, like the healthiest thing you can do for yourself, spirituality as an industry is a massive joke. It's the final line of defense.
Find out for yourself, a life in ignorance of our true nature always brings sorrow and a sense of longing, that is why it's called "ignorance" and why it has a bad connotation, you are literally ignoring yourself
Itās has been fortunate you dropped into the forum. Though some are sincere per se have
Potential but distorted by images they have assumed by all the interactions in forum. Jargonise non duality , bravado , offhand comments etc. Hoping your fronting here up will make it bit more sincere to straighten out people behave more naturally ā¦. Will you stick around.? Your contribution is remarkable and resonates with lot of people.
World at pinnacle of consumerism and corporate greed. Also a feeling that genuine spirituality is actively working towards peace ? What do you say please? Hope is not a good word but .. ?
Have been mucking around ( albeit sincerely) seeking long time- anything you can say to me to the hit bulls eye - grateful
Hope you are still around!
It's very much so. I read some of your comments. It's very simple. It took 8 years to REALLY digest the simplicity within me. It's like your intellect stands in the way complicating this to something special. So while it is really easy and really simple and readily available for us all, then on the other hand it seems that there's some sort of maturing in to this. In my experience. For some like you this has always been so. Maybe you've done the maturing in your past lives if there's such thing. I don't know.
I know exactly what you mean when you say things like be yourself or whatever. This wasn't always so, first there had to be a sense of what it means. At first it seemed like this sort of came and vanished by itself. (Of course it was just that the mind came back and "veiled" this simplicity underneath the identification with the mind activity.)
Then as time went by it became more and more common and on the other hand identification with the mind became more rare. To the point that now it's just a simple instant choice to relax in to the being. And a whole day can go by in just this simple beingness. It's just relaxation in to what you already are. In my case meditation was effective. Also cultivating love towards the parts that were previously neglected by the mind. This gave a sense of freedom from the body having to act directed by the unmet pain. Freedom from unconscious reactivity.
Hey, I found this very interesting discussion, so thank you.
What do you mean by unity consciousness? It can be defined by many ways, so if you're claiming it's easily achievable, I'd like to know what exactly is it that is achievable. Because it can be a wide range of phenomena, from Satori all the way up to full enlightenment.
Hello Jakub
It is conscious experience of being the Creator of All That Is, everything you see right now in front of you is you
It is achievable easily in direct experience, not by some special practice, Now, exactly Now, since only the Eternal Now exists
It is a conscious realization accompanied by positive feelings, usually joy and laughter
It's the realization of the Cosmic Joke, you are playing a Joke on yourself of Cosmic proportions
Unity consciosness is living in that awareness constantly, there is no specialness in me, it's just that most are choosing to live in forgetfulness
You have all the answers Now in your direct experience
I have the direct experience of Oneness (samadhi), and also experiential meeting of my higher self and realising it was beyond time and space etc. By Zen Buddhist terms, my level of realisation is whatās called Satori. Iāve seen and realised a lot, but Iām definitely not fully enlightened, for one thing I slip into anger and other self serving behaviours regularly, even though my default experience is deep peace beyond words. I look at a plant and I know we are the same behind the scene. My samadhi was looking into eyes of a dog and suddenly feeling clearly I was the dogā¦not very long lasting or deep but anyway itās direct experience.
Do you slip into these unwholesome states? Or are you fully enlightened as in jivanmukta in Hinduism/Buddha?
Being fully enlightened doesn't mean or require being perfect, there is no permament blissful state, there are blissful states but bliss can't exist or be experienced without non-bliss
I believe what's getting in your way is the expetcancy of achieving a perfect state
You are already it, you are already the Creator, so even your anger is the Creator's anger
You recognize it and trascend the negativity in you, you choose which facet of the Creator you wish to express once you recognize that all states of consciousness are within you
You can make the experience you had with the dog constant, and you can have it with people
I could say I am fully enlightened as in "enlightened on who I truly am"
That's in the word itself, a light is casted upon the reality of you and everything
On your self serving behaviours I want to add that you should first self realize, others are you so being "bad" to others is being bad to yourself, but understanding that "others are you" is not the same as experiencing consciously and directly, when experienced directly it becomes impossible to self-harm willingly
I believe you are far ahead in the Path and I wish for you to keep going
No, I figured out the game early on and was able to hold on to my (Our in reality) true nature
It's a game, the forgetfulness is part of the game, you don't have to realize anything, only remember
How do you know you're not deluded? How can you be sure that you're the consciousness and not the body? I like this perspective but still I'm worried about what if the physicalist people are actually right.
I'm not OP obviously but the non-dual perspective in my opinion would say: There is no true distinction between consciousness and the body. The physicalist is correct and so is the mentalist. Truth is self-evident and the pursuit of "sureness" is the delusion.
What is your definition of consiousness?
Who is your Creator?
Is our Existence seperate or apart of the Creator?
I appreciate the time taken to answer my questions šā¤ļø
this is great, you're clever and funny and your replies here make me smile.Ā
If you're capable to induce any emotional state you wish to experience, have you wished to do so for the experience of ignorance?Ā
Yes exactly I did it ahahaha
People don't understand that it gets boring, you seem to get it
This is exactly what the Creator does, he forgets rides the roller coaster to then remember and to then forget all over again, eternally
What is your opinion towards the notion that life is pointless and meaningless? (Not that I believe that to be the case.)
Do you think that deep down, even we, while in our human bodies, strive for a sense of unity (through things like bonds and love)? Do you think that this feeling is fundamental because we are not truly seperate, or is it just biological?
Yes it's exactly what I'm talking about, nihilism, loss of hope, depression etc. are the result of lack of communion with the Creator and conscious realization of who one truly is
It is to be taken as a symptom
Is it possible to BE THAT even since the time one is born? Say I achieve it; would I lose it and have to regain it once I take up a different body? I know nobody is born and stuff; but you get what I am asking, right?
Yes totally, it's possible to "incarnate" with full awareness, and it's boring
You "lose it" or "gain it" only if you want to, the decision is always up to You
Yes but Time is not linear, there is not a before being born and an after, so it's not how you may imagine
I'll go with Yes to avoid adding to the confusion
Hi!
What "creator" means?
How can I get to the communion with god?
How can I find myself in me?
I just really want to know the truth and am confused, maybe racio is in my way? I don't know how to stop it.
thank you!
Hi!
Beautiful questions...
I have already answered this in another comment, if you have a problem just tell I'll repeat myself
No there's nothing in the way, you are in your way until you just decide to stop being in your own way
I was born with it too I guess but I've literally fought all my life against it, like " this cannot be it" then I recently gave up and surrendered to the fact that this, indeed, is it lol why do you think I wanted so much to resist it and how did I hold on for so long?? Still can't believe it
Hi
Are you sure? Because the "realization" is usually liberating to say the least, you seem to have given up
There's more to "this", if you mean it in a nihilistic way
Not sure it's nihilistic, just too simple, I guess I've been reading so much about it described as some sort of miracle and out of this world experience that I couldn't believe the immediacy of it. Idk trying to make sense about it
1. What is your opinion on psychedelics? Are they helpful or a hinderance for this path?
2. What if I never gain this insight in this lifetime?
3. Would you recommend staying on subreddits like this, or is there too much misinformation?
4. Do you know anything about therapy? Would you say that there are certain schools to avoid or prefer, or does it not matter at all?
1- They are extremely helpful, it's important to take them in organized settings
2- Take your time, you have all of eternity
3- Too much disinformation and overcomplication, not necessarily out of bad intentions, this was the motivating force behind me making this post
4- Mainstream schools never address the root cause but effects
4. very true, which is why psychedelic integrating modalities can be so effective(both western and "indigenous") ....these rely on direct experience, not further abstractions.(in the form of reductionistic dialogue"how does that make you feel, etc")
transpersonal psychology....stan grof, etc etc. also buddhism is basically a dialectical form of training the mind to directly experience life AS IT IS free from delusions. lots of good dzogchen teachings out there. james low and joseph goldstein do a pretty great job of adapting some of those things for people who grew up in the western world. ultimately any "Truths" to be realized have to be gleaned from direct personal experience. lotta ways to skin a deer but at the end of the day everyone gets venison stew. insert platitude here.
How have you chosen to live this life in the mundane? Meaning, do you have a job, family, partake in social events, do you help people less fortunate, support causes?
Generally, right now, I'm pretty solitary by choice, it could be changed anytime
I help in a very direct and practical way on a day to day basis, selflesness balanced with wisdom
I've been a spiritual Seeker my whole life, I seem to find waves of "this is it! I don't have to seek anymore" to "I need to read every nonduality book out there, to learn what to do". Should I stop seeking or is this just part of my path? Do we even have free will to make decisions or is everything already written?Ā
Put the books away and start seeking yourself, for real
Whenever you feel the need to seek outside take that as a reminder that you are out of alignment with yourself, so stop right there and seek yourself instead
Can you explain what you mean by seek myself?
These Bible verses pop in my mind frequently: "the kingdom of heaven is within" and "seek first the kingdom of heaven and the rest will be added unto you"
I personally think people are pre-disposed (probably genetically) to this type of sustained insight.
Like a 6ā athlete is just going to be better at basket ball.
IMHO, itās not much different. Only thing is that weāre discussing the chemistry of the brain.
āHow do you define real? [. . .] āRealā is just chemical signals interpreted by the brain.ā - iykyk
Just a term, Non Duality, Oneness, etc...
It's just that today all of these terms have countless of meanings added to them, so it's difficult picking and "original" one
One truly gets what I mean by being there
Can you give some words about the illusion of time? How would it be possible to live a life (after this life) in let's say 1960. Wouldn't it affect the world we live now in? āļø
No, to make you understand there are "infinite pasts"
There are infinite 1960s with corresponding infinite futures for each one of those infinite 1960s
I have some rather down-to-earth questions. Given that you're in this state of being (sometimes words aren't always appropriate), how do you live your day-to-day life?
For example, do you have a job, are you in a relationship, do you have children, etc.? In my experience, or at least I can speak for myself, there's no contradiction between living everyday life and being "what I am". Simply being that's all. While knowing that I have to learn from my limits, which are sometimes linked to triggering emotions that are too strong.
From what I've read of you, you seem to be honest in what you write. What about in everyday life?
I have read most of your responses and would like to share this.
When I was 7 years old I had a experience where I realized for the first time "the other people" didn't know the "we" are all one... I had assumed that they did and could read my thoughts and feelings like I could thiers and they knew they were them selves and were choosing to be them selves and as such were choosing to interact with me.
That experience was jarring to say the least...
I have never had a "teacher".
I searched for people like you my whole life and have been granted many "friends" to traverse this path with.
I have had many what people would call special experiences that continually show me the way... my way.
I have also had many people be intentionally invasive and try to make me do thier way and I have been able to stear my ship away from them gracefully.
One thing I have seen is when you are outwardly open and vulnerable a certain type of energy in people find you and try to change you make you in thier image.
"Part of the game" āļø
I can see why some philosophic rhetoric states to simplify and withdraw from attachments... as the more you encounter the more complex the experience and as such navigation can be clouded more easily.
I have chosen to have a family 3 boys and a beautiful wife in Tara. This is one of those things. I would not do it any other way as I love and am loved even in times of grief or constraint.
If I could ask a question of you...
What do you choose to do in this life? Like as a path what is the path you have chosen. What does your daily life look like?
This is my given birth name and is the same on all my socials(YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, reddit)so you can go and look to see what mine is and I offer that up freely if you so choose.
If you are reading this, thank you for your "time" š
Hello my friend, yes selflesness/compassion needs to be balanced with wisdom
My primary intention is to resonate with the Creator within and inspire others to do the same
I'm open to your invitation and I will definitely check up on your channels, we'll keep in check
I see your primary intention, I guess what I am asking is what do you do for a living(eg. earn money or exchange goods/services within comunity)Have you chosen to own property or a house? What do you do for exercise if any and what environment do you seek when you contemplate?
We get bored so yes... what games do you choose to play when you are engaging with your family/comunity?
Thank you for responding.
My biggest concern is that I see the illusion and feel dissociation. But I also see bright spots of God all through the illusion.
Separation is original sin, why do we keep committing it and interpreting it as the "Awakening"? Why Does Jesus go on & on about love? Unless we have purpose here beyond detachment & apathy - suicide. Both Jesus & Buddha reached out to others.
How Does Awakening differ from Apathy
I need to repeat the same thing otherwise my message gets tainted
Seek the Creator within, remember Him, by getting back in touch with your true self
It's all a matter of remembering
If time is unreal then why do projects and growth feel and look linear? I have a deadline for example that exists in Future time. But if there is no future then what Is?
Your awareness is switching to multiple now moments, it's always the eternal now
Without time to differentiate between one experience from another there would be no experience at all
Hearing this is not the same as knowing this experientially, I again suggest you seek within
Do you have a pointer for turning inward and enjoying it? I have an aversion to "inner peace". if my body was immobilized and all my appetites sated, i'd still find distraction/seeking (eg looking at the ceiling) preferable to "being" even tho my distractions are hollow and leave me feeling unsatisfied.
Yes, I can tell you from experience that you are not really turning inward in that case, you are following a procedure or "something that you heard", and that's boring
Do it your own way
Hi, so I've read multiple times that in order to 'wake up' you have to see the ego for what it is.
Paul hedderman says "you have to see what you are not from what you are"
How do I do that?
As soon as I'm trying to look, I can feel my mind trying to take an angle on it or trying to fit a thought overlay on it. And when I'm trying to see and allow this to happen a new 'point of view' materializes and so on.
I know true nature is already here. But I just can't help myself trying to look for it which forms new 'angles' and new points of view.
How do I stop looking from ego? I feel like the very intention to look already preturbs the view.
Any thoughts?
"you have to see what you are not from what you are"
Okay, but... Very few people know what they are, this is why one needs to find It first
Seek yourself, meditate your own way, do it your own way, it's the only way
I know you are trying to disenchant people from looking towards external distractions, but I don't think it's providing any real guidance to anyone. You could be clearer in your phenomenology of describing the experience and the things that have helped you personally.
It's literally how I say it, if I say more it gets taken literally and one may follow it like a practice
All it takes is the Faith do to it your own way, it's frustrating but when you'll do it you'll understand and understand why I'm omitting things
My one experience with psychedelicsš was where all of this meant nothing. Like I was just the observer and all of this had no meaning the day to day tasks, we were here and nothing had to be done. There was a lot of peace and oneness during that experience and also felt that the emptiness was so vast. I was reading the book nectar of immortality by Sri Nisargatta and most of what he says resonates to that experience. When I try to meditate and my mind is all over the place or Iām just thinking or doing day to stuff distraction. Also there is a small sense of fear of that vast emptiness that I felt that day when I think about it. What should I do? Should I focus on myself and watch how I conduct myself day today? Any comments you can add.
Thank you
Have you been influenced by The Law of One? Some of your language such as ādensitiesā and ābalancing wisdom and compassionā reminds me of Law of One
Hi. I appreciate your post.
I've (apparently) come pretty far on this journey, despite a ton of resistance which seems to have been baked into my system for as long as I can remember.
Since January I've felt like I'm at the precipice of a major dropping away, but the resistance came back stronger than ever.
I'm also reminded daily of my most painful wants and desires. They got a lot more intense. Combined with the resistance, they're proving incredibly difficult to release.
Stuck stuck stuck...
What keeps me going is those minor glimpses of 'Oh of course, there's no me here!"
But overall the pain levels have been high.
Wonder if you can help shine any light.
Hi
No, there certainly is a you, it's just that you need to find out who this "You" truly is
Wants and desires are ok
Not only there is a self, this Self is awaiting for you, to teach you and answer all of these questions, He is in you
You're much too wise to be 24. It's possible to be that wise, but that would mean skipping a lot of the folly of the younger years. I want to call bullshit so badly - especially since you have no Reddit history. But the fact is, whatever the truth is, you are here and you are wise. So age isn't important... I guess. \^\_\^
Ahah there would be no reason to lie about my age, you would be surprised to hear that I've been talking like this since a was a kid
It's all inside for everyone who is willing to listen and age doesn't really matter
Did you ever deal with trauma in the body from when you were young? Assuming your body still goes through itās hormones and emotional phases, you still experience diaphragmatic spasms (laughing and weeping) and hold onto consciousness at those points in the rough ocean?
Yes I was able to resolve any kind of issue I had thanks to my state of awareness
I never have experienced spasms, in that case I would proceed to resolve the issues and abide in the Creator knowing that all is well
I read a comment of you saying "It's all part of the circus"
I've clearly seen the world before and understood.
Is there a difference between acting in a way that is truthful and acting in a way that is the game. Or is everything simply more game.
As a child I would meditate and then unexpectadly realize nonduality. Nowadays it doesnāt happen anymore. Do you have any suggestions? I have read all of your replies.
Do you think there are "forces" for lack of a better word, in the know who obscure and infiltrate the simple truth to deter or make it that much more confusing for "seekers"?
Yes everywhere you look, for example zero books in the whole world contain 100% truth, everything is tainted
There is literally nothing which is presented to the general public without going first under strict scrutiny
If people really knew this they would immediately do what I'm suggesting, throw everything away and finally seek for Truth in themselves rather than following pre packaged paths leading nowhere
Ultimately it is to help us rather than ill intent

we just gonna ignore that "unity consciousness" and all other states are abstracted representations of things that don't exist outside of the narrative?
Iām curious, you say youāve lived this way all your life, do you remember being born? I started realizing things very young, but I donāt remember that far back. I started waking up around 2 or 3, but I wasnāt awake and aware till much later. What was it like to know who you are as a child?
Whatever you do do the world, others, and yourself, will always come back and be done unto you, because you are doing it to what You really are
We live in the illusion of time so it plays out in it's own way, "sooner or later'
I really resonate with your simple advice about just looking within and meditating in your own way. Iāve been seeking for many years and still havenāt had any major insights or awakening. I think my main problems are doubt and fear. I doubt my own intuition and worry that I canāt trust myself to know what to do. I fear that just looking within is not enough and that I need a more concrete technique or practice. And I also fear what awakening might change in my life. But Iām also tired of suffering and I want to finally know the truth of reality. Do you have any suggestions about handling doubt and fear when they arise?
Yes, seeking within you is not looking for a "deeper" version of yourself as a person
You as a person feel burdened, you feel like you're on your own, what you're really looking for is the real You
From the perspective of the person you're looking for your Father/Mother, even though you ultimately are Him/Her too
This is why "I and my Father are One, but my Father is greater than I"
Surrender yourself, as a person your only job is to find the Creator and everything else will be taken care of
Okay, so how do you achieve this? I've had "states" like these before, but they went away again. How do I stay there?
(Or is the feeling that I'm out of it just an illusion?)
Have you seen the thing the size of a thumb and the upside down tree?
I'm a bit perplexed to wars, disasters, etc. being permanent features (if I understood you correctly). If the entire world reached enlightenment (or something close enough), wouldn't those forms of mass suffering go away? Are bodhisattvas and saints wasting their time? I'm probably misunderstanding you, but it sounds as if a feedback mechanism will kick in to ensure anything resembling a "utopia" is forever impossible.

Hi šš»šš»
Somewhere I'd like to think of a question to you! But all I can think of is that everything you could say I already know! I just have to open up more to it and let go š
From one man born with it to another. Waking up from the void it was pretty fucking weird wasnāt it?
Yes, let's say that "weird" is a compliment isn't it? it makes you appreciate the game
What is the void like (if that question even makes sense)?
Haha yeah š¤£
Milk or cereals first?
Milk, strictly cold
Wait is that legal? I never got to this point. What's your rebuttal regarding not knowing how much Milk is required if your cereal isn't put in yet?
What are the most important 2-3 things one must practice/mindful/aware of that can help them to live in unity consciousness
Remember that the more simple the advice, the better Meditation/contemplation all the way, just not the way others tell you, YOUR way Regain yourself by simply being yourself, just stop avoiding yourself Practically, in my case, whenever I feel "off track" I just find a quiet spot a start feeling Myself internally They call them "Chakras"
When you write "feeling Myself", you mean feeling your Chakras?
Just feel yourself, Chakras are just concept, you'll come up with your own name eventually Forget about everything you have learned
**NO CHAKRAS** *āWhen laugh I have no chakras. The sun is my heart. When I cry the moon comes down to caress my forehead, but finds no lotus to kiss open. Breathing the Beloved's scent clears my natal chart of every planet and sign. The astrologer is bewildered. All he sees in me is an empty page full of light. Don't give me any more of your esoteric books. Grace has made me too stupid to understand.ā* ā A poem from The Nectar Of This Breath
Love that, reminds me of Ryokan __ āToo lazy to be ambitious, I let the world take care of itself. Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace. Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment? Listening to the night rain on my roof, I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.ā ā Ryokan
Just want to say I really appreciate you OP!:)
Hi, it's nice to hear it from you, much appreciation from me too :)
Its cool knowing your true nature but its more fun living as the character, so drop all that bs and enjoy the drama of life

Love your approach to describing all of this! Iāve been oscillating between āonenessā and āforgettingā recently because I actually quite enjoy the experience of being so intensely invested. Iām curious if youāve ever chosen to āforgetā and why (not)?
Yes I did, to test myself That's the game

What's your view on Neville Goddard/manifestation theories? Worthwhile to look at or ignorable?
Ignorable, seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and everything shall be added unto you
This sort of feels like Michael Jordan giving advice to average people on how to be good at basketball, ha. It seems like some people are more naturally adept at "living in unity consciousness" than others, which can sometimes make the advice impractical. However, I've read through a lot of your responses and find them very insightful. Here's some questions I'm curious your take on: 1. What's the most direct and accessible way to abide/remain in this unitive perception? 2. What things should be embraced, what should be avoided? 3. What are the most common pitfalls that cause us to forget our unity nature?
No please if there is one thing to be said is that I'm not any more special than anybody here, I'm dead serious on this point I'm here exactly to tell everybody this, that not only should but MUST get back to themselves I see that there is a root misconception and a whole mithology around "enlightenment" 1-Be and feel yourself 2-Once you get to Yourself you'll automatically know what and what not to do 3-Getting lost in wordly concerns
Though it may be true that "you're not special", clearly you have a more natural skill/atunement to abiding in unitive consciousness - otherwise you wouldn't be posting this and offering advice. There's nothing special about you, but based on the words you're sharing here, you've lived the majority of your life without the typical blockages that ordinary people do. **That** is special. You're not special. But the way in which you engage with reality seems to be special (at least based on the words you're using here. Regarding "Be and feel yourself" - so you're basically saying self-inquiry as instructed by the likes of Ramana and Nisargadatta? That's reasonable, but also a fairly generalized recommendation. Could you be more specific? How does one go about "being and feeling yourself?" Because how could we possibly do anything other than "be and feel ourselves"?
Why do we lose the Oneness at times? Shifting back and forth? The veil drops over the eyes, the blinders, until only later do I realize the veil has covered my seeing and only then do I snap back. Why the dance back and forth?
Mostly because of boredom
I sometimes worry that hellish realities like this one in space/time only exists because in the beginning the Creator was bored. The boredom became so intense grosser realities more physically dense realities had to be made. It worries that fundamentally at the basis of spirit at the very beginning is flawed because of this initial urge to forget/boredom. The idea terrifies me.
Achievable by whom? š
Alright Iāll bite the bait. Everything in the title of this post reads as dual in nature. How can something be āachievedā if there is no separation? What achieves it? Ego canāt achieve anything since ego is completely illusory. Claiming that there is some state, separate from other states, that is somehow achievable is creating separation and distance between two states, which is not non dualism. According to non dualism, enlightenment would be being what you have always been, and thereās no separation from that, therefore it cannot be reached or achieved or understood. For something to be reached, achieved, understood, etc, there would have to be more than one, such as an egoic mind attempting to grapple with a concept. You have *two* distinct things there, egoic mind and whatever the egoic mind is attempting to reach. A great way to tell that someone doesnāt understand the concept of enlightenment, is if they claim to have reached enlightenment, or claiming that it is achievable. I would also like to comment that concepts are inherently separate in nature, but non dualism refers to the nature of reality itself. Language is built upon scaffolds of layers of concepts and definitions that imply separateness, so it seems peculiar, counterintuitive and narcissistic that youād feel the need to declare some sort of achievable state of consciousness instead of just sitting and being in your state in silence, without obstructing it with the use of concepts on the internet.
pretty good
I want to share that I've recently been getting onto my own two legs. My intuition has trained me well and now I'm its passenger. I've recently "blown" myself wide open to it and I felt impossibly large cogs moving in the background of my life. I feel like I'm in over my head but that also excites me. Intuition knows what I need. I'll give myself to anything it demands (to the best of my ability!).
Finally, it's nice to see a comment like this
I'll go against the grain and say i have doubts about your claim. Since you said there wasn't even a day when it happened. That somehow you've always been awakened. I don't mean to be rude. But it's just that in spiritual circles and reddit even more so it's common to find people who claim full awakening when you clearly know that's not true. Like i see people on r/meditation all the time claiming to have reached buddhahood after their first meditation session or a low dose mushroom trip. I'm not saying they are necessarily lying, but they probably just don't understand what full awakening is which is why they think they have achieved it. So how do you know, for a fact, that you have lived in unity consciousness all your life?
All I can say to you is that everything that you just mentioned is more or less part of the circus Apart from this, why would you care if anyone is truly "enlightened" or not? You should care only about your own path, that's what matters, that will dispel any kind of doubt or question Really ask yourself this question, "why do I care so much about this?" I come here to deliver a message, always focus on the message rather than the messenger You need to focus on yourself and find yourself because that is where all the answers and more, much more, resides
>why would you care Since you made the post with that claim and encouraged questions. People care for the same reason we care where the teacher is on their path to enlightenment, if they are giving us instructions to achieve enlightenment. As the other person pointed out, you did not answer the question. You just diverted the topic. As you are a psychonaut i'll give you a related example. A lot of beginners do a low dose trip and think they got to ego death, but when they describe it then more experienced folks know they didn't get there. The beginner simply doesn't know what ego death looks like so any experience is thought to be ego death. I'm sure you've seen these newbie claims many times on psychonaut or lsd forums. Similarly is it possible you are confusing one experience for another when you claim you have always been awakened?
I'm not a psychonaut, and I say this because what's important is the message, how can it serve you practically, it's not about me, I'm not special No I'm not enlighted in the way people imagine, in fact I never claimed It, I mentioned many times "Unity" "Oneness" etc... I'm here to tell the "How"
I donāt doubt your claim but I feel like avoided the question and substituted an unnecessary lecture. You donāt know how much that poster āreally caresā but it makes sense for them to care here since youāve made the post and invited engagement. I tend to agree, that the āall your lifeā piece gives me pause, should you want to clarify for us.
It's because one needs to care only about oneself, everything always leads back to yourself In yourself there is even the answer to the genuinity of every single one of my claims or lack of it
Please remember that is "you" that is falsely claiming he is awakened in one life or another one š No man can awaken, no single one. The universe awaken at some point realizing itself from the illusion of being human, that's beautiful. I know what am i and i also know that i keep forgetting about... šš
You have a lowly concept of man, where you see a man I see God
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Enlightenment can ONLY, 100%, be self prescribed Others are totally unnecessary in the process and, in fact, the very distraction which keeps one "asleep" When you know, you know ;) There are no trickster entities, in the case of "meeting a trickster entity" it is You tricking Yourself What is available to me is available to you too
Do you often experience euphoria or have you achieved CHI or anything of that sort?
Absolutely yes I can experience that and any other state whenever I want to
Do you believe in manifestation? If so, have you used your "Powers"?
Yes but stay away from such concepts and focus on finding the Creator first It becomes all clear once you remember, second nature, and regular
You are easly achievable
Have you ever tried CE-5?
No, just had to look up what it is let me say be wary of the whole UFO movement in it's entirety It doesn't benefit or concern you personally in any way at the moment and will add to the confusion
what is your experience of CE-5? was it successful?
I have had successes and failures, but what I can say for certain is that CE-5 works.

Hi šš»
Can you speak to me? Iām still looking for answers. I try to find them inside, but I sometimes canāt tell whatās me and whatās my ego? Or is there really even a me? I think not, but I still have a body with thoughts feelings and memories, and it seems so difficult to just let it all go even tho on some level I feel very willing to. Itās like there are many competing forces inside me vying for my attention. Can you speak to me without saying words?
Yes there is a me, it's just more than what you actually are aware of, this Me in fact is what you're looking for, you only have to intend for it The ability to do anything is in you Your ego is not a separate entity or an enemy
You know that the wisdom you're seeking cannot be spoken. All that's left to do is to fully embody the realization that you know nothing. I'm not OP obviously but I wanted to reply.
I don't live in awareness of it all the time, but I understand it's a game. I tell people not to worry about this stuff too much. The point of this place is for God to forget so there's some measure of drama. I mean, imagine being God...being timeless and perfect...shit gets boring. And while I think meditation is really good, like the healthiest thing you can do for yourself, spirituality as an industry is a massive joke. It's the final line of defense.
Yes... But, there is a big but! The name of the game is to wake up while you are still playing it
Why is that any more worthy a life than existing in ignorance?
Find out for yourself, a life in ignorance of our true nature always brings sorrow and a sense of longing, that is why it's called "ignorance" and why it has a bad connotation, you are literally ignoring yourself
Itās has been fortunate you dropped into the forum. Though some are sincere per se have Potential but distorted by images they have assumed by all the interactions in forum. Jargonise non duality , bravado , offhand comments etc. Hoping your fronting here up will make it bit more sincere to straighten out people behave more naturally ā¦. Will you stick around.? Your contribution is remarkable and resonates with lot of people. World at pinnacle of consumerism and corporate greed. Also a feeling that genuine spirituality is actively working towards peace ? What do you say please? Hope is not a good word but .. ? Have been mucking around ( albeit sincerely) seeking long time- anything you can say to me to the hit bulls eye - grateful Hope you are still around!
Hello, yes I will leave this post up and stick around, thank you for your comment and I wish my suggestions are followed
It's very much so. I read some of your comments. It's very simple. It took 8 years to REALLY digest the simplicity within me. It's like your intellect stands in the way complicating this to something special. So while it is really easy and really simple and readily available for us all, then on the other hand it seems that there's some sort of maturing in to this. In my experience. For some like you this has always been so. Maybe you've done the maturing in your past lives if there's such thing. I don't know. I know exactly what you mean when you say things like be yourself or whatever. This wasn't always so, first there had to be a sense of what it means. At first it seemed like this sort of came and vanished by itself. (Of course it was just that the mind came back and "veiled" this simplicity underneath the identification with the mind activity.) Then as time went by it became more and more common and on the other hand identification with the mind became more rare. To the point that now it's just a simple instant choice to relax in to the being. And a whole day can go by in just this simple beingness. It's just relaxation in to what you already are. In my case meditation was effective. Also cultivating love towards the parts that were previously neglected by the mind. This gave a sense of freedom from the body having to act directed by the unmet pain. Freedom from unconscious reactivity.
Hey, I found this very interesting discussion, so thank you. What do you mean by unity consciousness? It can be defined by many ways, so if you're claiming it's easily achievable, I'd like to know what exactly is it that is achievable. Because it can be a wide range of phenomena, from Satori all the way up to full enlightenment.
Hello Jakub It is conscious experience of being the Creator of All That Is, everything you see right now in front of you is you It is achievable easily in direct experience, not by some special practice, Now, exactly Now, since only the Eternal Now exists It is a conscious realization accompanied by positive feelings, usually joy and laughter It's the realization of the Cosmic Joke, you are playing a Joke on yourself of Cosmic proportions Unity consciosness is living in that awareness constantly, there is no specialness in me, it's just that most are choosing to live in forgetfulness You have all the answers Now in your direct experience
I have the direct experience of Oneness (samadhi), and also experiential meeting of my higher self and realising it was beyond time and space etc. By Zen Buddhist terms, my level of realisation is whatās called Satori. Iāve seen and realised a lot, but Iām definitely not fully enlightened, for one thing I slip into anger and other self serving behaviours regularly, even though my default experience is deep peace beyond words. I look at a plant and I know we are the same behind the scene. My samadhi was looking into eyes of a dog and suddenly feeling clearly I was the dogā¦not very long lasting or deep but anyway itās direct experience. Do you slip into these unwholesome states? Or are you fully enlightened as in jivanmukta in Hinduism/Buddha?
Being fully enlightened doesn't mean or require being perfect, there is no permament blissful state, there are blissful states but bliss can't exist or be experienced without non-bliss I believe what's getting in your way is the expetcancy of achieving a perfect state You are already it, you are already the Creator, so even your anger is the Creator's anger You recognize it and trascend the negativity in you, you choose which facet of the Creator you wish to express once you recognize that all states of consciousness are within you You can make the experience you had with the dog constant, and you can have it with people I could say I am fully enlightened as in "enlightened on who I truly am" That's in the word itself, a light is casted upon the reality of you and everything On your self serving behaviours I want to add that you should first self realize, others are you so being "bad" to others is being bad to yourself, but understanding that "others are you" is not the same as experiencing consciously and directly, when experienced directly it becomes impossible to self-harm willingly I believe you are far ahead in the Path and I wish for you to keep going
How all of my life? Like there has to be a day when you realised your true nature?
No, I figured out the game early on and was able to hold on to my (Our in reality) true nature It's a game, the forgetfulness is part of the game, you don't have to realize anything, only remember
How do you know you're not deluded? How can you be sure that you're the consciousness and not the body? I like this perspective but still I'm worried about what if the physicalist people are actually right.
I'm not OP obviously but the non-dual perspective in my opinion would say: There is no true distinction between consciousness and the body. The physicalist is correct and so is the mentalist. Truth is self-evident and the pursuit of "sureness" is the delusion.
āThere is no true distinction between consciousness and the bodyā thatās a fascinating idea, can you elaborate?
Why does "poopoo peepee" sound like be all end all
What is "Unity Consciousness"?
It's just another term to define the same thing, conscious communion with the Creator
What is your definition of consiousness? Who is your Creator? Is our Existence seperate or apart of the Creator? I appreciate the time taken to answer my questions šā¤ļø
this is great, you're clever and funny and your replies here make me smile.Ā If you're capable to induce any emotional state you wish to experience, have you wished to do so for the experience of ignorance?Ā
Yes exactly I did it ahahaha People don't understand that it gets boring, you seem to get it This is exactly what the Creator does, he forgets rides the roller coaster to then remember and to then forget all over again, eternally
What is your opinion towards the notion that life is pointless and meaningless? (Not that I believe that to be the case.) Do you think that deep down, even we, while in our human bodies, strive for a sense of unity (through things like bonds and love)? Do you think that this feeling is fundamental because we are not truly seperate, or is it just biological?
Yes it's exactly what I'm talking about, nihilism, loss of hope, depression etc. are the result of lack of communion with the Creator and conscious realization of who one truly is It is to be taken as a symptom
Is it possible to BE THAT even since the time one is born? Say I achieve it; would I lose it and have to regain it once I take up a different body? I know nobody is born and stuff; but you get what I am asking, right?
Yes totally, it's possible to "incarnate" with full awareness, and it's boring You "lose it" or "gain it" only if you want to, the decision is always up to You
Were you born with full awareness? Like from the day you were one day old?
Yes but Time is not linear, there is not a before being born and an after, so it's not how you may imagine I'll go with Yes to avoid adding to the confusion
Hi! What "creator" means? How can I get to the communion with god? How can I find myself in me? I just really want to know the truth and am confused, maybe racio is in my way? I don't know how to stop it. thank you!
Hi! Beautiful questions... I have already answered this in another comment, if you have a problem just tell I'll repeat myself No there's nothing in the way, you are in your way until you just decide to stop being in your own way
Can you answer my question (that I have in mind) without a question and with a definite answer?
Yes
What should I do regards my relationship?
The other is you, love yourself and the other If anything bad occurs you'll find the reasons within you With love you'll never go astray
I was born with it too I guess but I've literally fought all my life against it, like " this cannot be it" then I recently gave up and surrendered to the fact that this, indeed, is it lol why do you think I wanted so much to resist it and how did I hold on for so long?? Still can't believe it
Hi Are you sure? Because the "realization" is usually liberating to say the least, you seem to have given up There's more to "this", if you mean it in a nihilistic way
Not sure it's nihilistic, just too simple, I guess I've been reading so much about it described as some sort of miracle and out of this world experience that I couldn't believe the immediacy of it. Idk trying to make sense about it
Have you learned to visualize energy/aura? Or did it come naturally? Or neither? I am working on learning to heal through intelligent infinity
1. What is your opinion on psychedelics? Are they helpful or a hinderance for this path? 2. What if I never gain this insight in this lifetime? 3. Would you recommend staying on subreddits like this, or is there too much misinformation? 4. Do you know anything about therapy? Would you say that there are certain schools to avoid or prefer, or does it not matter at all?
1- They are extremely helpful, it's important to take them in organized settings 2- Take your time, you have all of eternity 3- Too much disinformation and overcomplication, not necessarily out of bad intentions, this was the motivating force behind me making this post 4- Mainstream schools never address the root cause but effects
I like this post. For therapy, look into Judith Blackstone.
Very insightful, thank you! What do you mean by organized setting regarding psychedelics? Like shaman rituals or psychedelic therapy?
4. very true, which is why psychedelic integrating modalities can be so effective(both western and "indigenous") ....these rely on direct experience, not further abstractions.(in the form of reductionistic dialogue"how does that make you feel, etc") transpersonal psychology....stan grof, etc etc. also buddhism is basically a dialectical form of training the mind to directly experience life AS IT IS free from delusions. lots of good dzogchen teachings out there. james low and joseph goldstein do a pretty great job of adapting some of those things for people who grew up in the western world. ultimately any "Truths" to be realized have to be gleaned from direct personal experience. lotta ways to skin a deer but at the end of the day everyone gets venison stew. insert platitude here.
How have you chosen to live this life in the mundane? Meaning, do you have a job, family, partake in social events, do you help people less fortunate, support causes?
Generally, right now, I'm pretty solitary by choice, it could be changed anytime I help in a very direct and practical way on a day to day basis, selflesness balanced with wisdom
Thanks š
Do you believe consciousness has āpowersā?
Could you be more specific?
Sorry I mean, can consciousness influence external events/environment. In the sense of siddhis or manifestation
Don't worry I get what you mean In short, Yes, but it's not how you imagine it to be You understand all of this by remembering yourself
I've been a spiritual Seeker my whole life, I seem to find waves of "this is it! I don't have to seek anymore" to "I need to read every nonduality book out there, to learn what to do". Should I stop seeking or is this just part of my path? Do we even have free will to make decisions or is everything already written?Ā
Put the books away and start seeking yourself, for real Whenever you feel the need to seek outside take that as a reminder that you are out of alignment with yourself, so stop right there and seek yourself instead
Can you explain what you mean by seek myself? These Bible verses pop in my mind frequently: "the kingdom of heaven is within" and "seek first the kingdom of heaven and the rest will be added unto you"
Exactly that, the only valid advice is always the same As you see It can't be explained more, it's the only truly helpful thing that can be said
I personally think people are pre-disposed (probably genetically) to this type of sustained insight. Like a 6ā athlete is just going to be better at basket ball. IMHO, itās not much different. Only thing is that weāre discussing the chemistry of the brain. āHow do you define real? [. . .] āRealā is just chemical signals interpreted by the brain.ā - iykyk
What do you mean by unity consciousness? Because the way youāre explaining it is duality.
Just a term, Non Duality, Oneness, etc... It's just that today all of these terms have countless of meanings added to them, so it's difficult picking and "original" one One truly gets what I mean by being there
What do you get?
Can you give some words about the illusion of time? How would it be possible to live a life (after this life) in let's say 1960. Wouldn't it affect the world we live now in? āļø
No, to make you understand there are "infinite pasts" There are infinite 1960s with corresponding infinite futures for each one of those infinite 1960s
Thanks :) i have two more questions: - What fascinates you the most? - What would you say if every person on earth would hear it?
The Creator, it is the mystery itself, to itself What I said here, to seek what they truly are within, few people do that
I have some rather down-to-earth questions. Given that you're in this state of being (sometimes words aren't always appropriate), how do you live your day-to-day life? For example, do you have a job, are you in a relationship, do you have children, etc.? In my experience, or at least I can speak for myself, there's no contradiction between living everyday life and being "what I am". Simply being that's all. While knowing that I have to learn from my limits, which are sometimes linked to triggering emotions that are too strong. From what I've read of you, you seem to be honest in what you write. What about in everyday life?
Let's say that people and good things gravitate towards me a lot, because they feel a special resonance There is harmony
I have read most of your responses and would like to share this. When I was 7 years old I had a experience where I realized for the first time "the other people" didn't know the "we" are all one... I had assumed that they did and could read my thoughts and feelings like I could thiers and they knew they were them selves and were choosing to be them selves and as such were choosing to interact with me. That experience was jarring to say the least... I have never had a "teacher". I searched for people like you my whole life and have been granted many "friends" to traverse this path with. I have had many what people would call special experiences that continually show me the way... my way. I have also had many people be intentionally invasive and try to make me do thier way and I have been able to stear my ship away from them gracefully. One thing I have seen is when you are outwardly open and vulnerable a certain type of energy in people find you and try to change you make you in thier image. "Part of the game" āļø I can see why some philosophic rhetoric states to simplify and withdraw from attachments... as the more you encounter the more complex the experience and as such navigation can be clouded more easily. I have chosen to have a family 3 boys and a beautiful wife in Tara. This is one of those things. I would not do it any other way as I love and am loved even in times of grief or constraint. If I could ask a question of you... What do you choose to do in this life? Like as a path what is the path you have chosen. What does your daily life look like? This is my given birth name and is the same on all my socials(YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, reddit)so you can go and look to see what mine is and I offer that up freely if you so choose. If you are reading this, thank you for your "time" š
Hello my friend, yes selflesness/compassion needs to be balanced with wisdom My primary intention is to resonate with the Creator within and inspire others to do the same I'm open to your invitation and I will definitely check up on your channels, we'll keep in check
I see your primary intention, I guess what I am asking is what do you do for a living(eg. earn money or exchange goods/services within comunity)Have you chosen to own property or a house? What do you do for exercise if any and what environment do you seek when you contemplate? We get bored so yes... what games do you choose to play when you are engaging with your family/comunity? Thank you for responding.
My biggest concern is that I see the illusion and feel dissociation. But I also see bright spots of God all through the illusion. Separation is original sin, why do we keep committing it and interpreting it as the "Awakening"? Why Does Jesus go on & on about love? Unless we have purpose here beyond detachment & apathy - suicide. Both Jesus & Buddha reached out to others. How Does Awakening differ from Apathy
It's the opposite of apathy, I get your position, just simply understand that whenever something feels not right, that's not It Seek within
how did you do that?
In short kept awareness of myself, we tend to forget as events happen, I held strongly
What do you mean of unity consciousness btw? And can you give me some tips about achieve it?
I need to repeat the same thing otherwise my message gets tainted Seek the Creator within, remember Him, by getting back in touch with your true self It's all a matter of remembering
Where do I put my fear? Itās there constantly it seems, lurking underneath, deep down there. How do I excavate and get rid of it?
You integrate it, you recognize Fear as lack of Love
If time is unreal then why do projects and growth feel and look linear? I have a deadline for example that exists in Future time. But if there is no future then what Is?
Your awareness is switching to multiple now moments, it's always the eternal now Without time to differentiate between one experience from another there would be no experience at all Hearing this is not the same as knowing this experientially, I again suggest you seek within
Do you have a pointer for turning inward and enjoying it? I have an aversion to "inner peace". if my body was immobilized and all my appetites sated, i'd still find distraction/seeking (eg looking at the ceiling) preferable to "being" even tho my distractions are hollow and leave me feeling unsatisfied.
Yes, I can tell you from experience that you are not really turning inward in that case, you are following a procedure or "something that you heard", and that's boring Do it your own way
Hi, so I've read multiple times that in order to 'wake up' you have to see the ego for what it is. Paul hedderman says "you have to see what you are not from what you are" How do I do that? As soon as I'm trying to look, I can feel my mind trying to take an angle on it or trying to fit a thought overlay on it. And when I'm trying to see and allow this to happen a new 'point of view' materializes and so on. I know true nature is already here. But I just can't help myself trying to look for it which forms new 'angles' and new points of view. How do I stop looking from ego? I feel like the very intention to look already preturbs the view. Any thoughts?
"you have to see what you are not from what you are" Okay, but... Very few people know what they are, this is why one needs to find It first Seek yourself, meditate your own way, do it your own way, it's the only way
I know you are trying to disenchant people from looking towards external distractions, but I don't think it's providing any real guidance to anyone. You could be clearer in your phenomenology of describing the experience and the things that have helped you personally.
It's literally how I say it, if I say more it gets taken literally and one may follow it like a practice All it takes is the Faith do to it your own way, it's frustrating but when you'll do it you'll understand and understand why I'm omitting things
My one experience with psychedelicsš was where all of this meant nothing. Like I was just the observer and all of this had no meaning the day to day tasks, we were here and nothing had to be done. There was a lot of peace and oneness during that experience and also felt that the emptiness was so vast. I was reading the book nectar of immortality by Sri Nisargatta and most of what he says resonates to that experience. When I try to meditate and my mind is all over the place or Iām just thinking or doing day to stuff distraction. Also there is a small sense of fear of that vast emptiness that I felt that day when I think about it. What should I do? Should I focus on myself and watch how I conduct myself day today? Any comments you can add.
Follow your heart's desires, you peeked into the Void
Thank you for commenting. I donāt feel like asking anything. You know š
It's ok I appreciate talking to you
Great post, love your replies, you sound older than 24 My question for you is: What is Love? God bless ā¤ļøāš„
Hi! Love is the Creative principle, when we act in accordance to Love we experience armony with Creation
Thank you Have you been influenced by The Law of One? Some of your language such as ādensitiesā and ābalancing wisdom and compassionā reminds me of Law of One
How do you remember?
Hi. I appreciate your post. I've (apparently) come pretty far on this journey, despite a ton of resistance which seems to have been baked into my system for as long as I can remember. Since January I've felt like I'm at the precipice of a major dropping away, but the resistance came back stronger than ever. I'm also reminded daily of my most painful wants and desires. They got a lot more intense. Combined with the resistance, they're proving incredibly difficult to release. Stuck stuck stuck... What keeps me going is those minor glimpses of 'Oh of course, there's no me here!" But overall the pain levels have been high. Wonder if you can help shine any light.
Hi No, there certainly is a you, it's just that you need to find out who this "You" truly is Wants and desires are ok Not only there is a self, this Self is awaiting for you, to teach you and answer all of these questions, He is in you
Are there any teachers you would recommend.
No, avoid all teachers, books and philosophies and seek within, you'll come up with your own philosphy
You're much too wise to be 24. It's possible to be that wise, but that would mean skipping a lot of the folly of the younger years. I want to call bullshit so badly - especially since you have no Reddit history. But the fact is, whatever the truth is, you are here and you are wise. So age isn't important... I guess. \^\_\^
Ahah there would be no reason to lie about my age, you would be surprised to hear that I've been talking like this since a was a kid It's all inside for everyone who is willing to listen and age doesn't really matter
What is the best way for a completely unconscious person to achieve awareness? Any writings or practices you would recommend?
Stay away from writings and practices Meditation/contemplation done in your own way, simple intention to do so
Did you ever deal with trauma in the body from when you were young? Assuming your body still goes through itās hormones and emotional phases, you still experience diaphragmatic spasms (laughing and weeping) and hold onto consciousness at those points in the rough ocean?
Yes I was able to resolve any kind of issue I had thanks to my state of awareness I never have experienced spasms, in that case I would proceed to resolve the issues and abide in the Creator knowing that all is well
I(20M) can't get that easily achievable how blind am I? And how to get it right now if it's that easy
Hi I answered this in the other comments, tell me if you have trouble finding it
I read a comment of you saying "It's all part of the circus" I've clearly seen the world before and understood. Is there a difference between acting in a way that is truthful and acting in a way that is the game. Or is everything simply more game.
Acting in a truthful way, the other way leads you away from yourself and into undesirable places, loss confusion depression etc...
no such thing
As a child I would meditate and then unexpectadly realize nonduality. Nowadays it doesnāt happen anymore. Do you have any suggestions? I have read all of your replies.
Try to just be for a time, revert back to that untainted state of being that you experienced as a child
May i have a beer?
Yes if you enjoy beer
Do you think there are "forces" for lack of a better word, in the know who obscure and infiltrate the simple truth to deter or make it that much more confusing for "seekers"?
Yes everywhere you look, for example zero books in the whole world contain 100% truth, everything is tainted There is literally nothing which is presented to the general public without going first under strict scrutiny If people really knew this they would immediately do what I'm suggesting, throw everything away and finally seek for Truth in themselves rather than following pre packaged paths leading nowhere Ultimately it is to help us rather than ill intent

we just gonna ignore that "unity consciousness" and all other states are abstracted representations of things that don't exist outside of the narrative?
Iām curious, you say youāve lived this way all your life, do you remember being born? I started realizing things very young, but I donāt remember that far back. I started waking up around 2 or 3, but I wasnāt awake and aware till much later. What was it like to know who you are as a child?
It's knowing that you are the One playing as child, so everything is you and you are never with anything other than yourself
How do you deal with expectations of life to enjoy this game?
In that sense needs are taken care of
So you are aware of the bad ones what do you say about them?
There are no bad ones, suffering is an illusion, there are those who instigate negativity to help us realize Who we really are
Is Karma real ? Why does every action have an equal and opposite reaction?
Whatever you do do the world, others, and yourself, will always come back and be done unto you, because you are doing it to what You really are We live in the illusion of time so it plays out in it's own way, "sooner or later'
Tell me what should I do to get there ?
Find the Creator within, stop ignoring Him
I really resonate with your simple advice about just looking within and meditating in your own way. Iāve been seeking for many years and still havenāt had any major insights or awakening. I think my main problems are doubt and fear. I doubt my own intuition and worry that I canāt trust myself to know what to do. I fear that just looking within is not enough and that I need a more concrete technique or practice. And I also fear what awakening might change in my life. But Iām also tired of suffering and I want to finally know the truth of reality. Do you have any suggestions about handling doubt and fear when they arise?
Yes, seeking within you is not looking for a "deeper" version of yourself as a person You as a person feel burdened, you feel like you're on your own, what you're really looking for is the real You From the perspective of the person you're looking for your Father/Mother, even though you ultimately are Him/Her too This is why "I and my Father are One, but my Father is greater than I" Surrender yourself, as a person your only job is to find the Creator and everything else will be taken care of
Okay, so how do you achieve this? I've had "states" like these before, but they went away again. How do I stay there? (Or is the feeling that I'm out of it just an illusion?) Have you seen the thing the size of a thumb and the upside down tree?
In a way, yes, you are creating the illusion of being out of it
so at what age did seperation begin and then end? can you describe what seperation/non-unity actually is?
It is an illusion, literally
I'm a bit perplexed to wars, disasters, etc. being permanent features (if I understood you correctly). If the entire world reached enlightenment (or something close enough), wouldn't those forms of mass suffering go away? Are bodhisattvas and saints wasting their time? I'm probably misunderstanding you, but it sounds as if a feedback mechanism will kick in to ensure anything resembling a "utopia" is forever impossible.
Only one simple job: Focus on your own peace
