Solace

Heart felt Addiction I am not perfect. For a year and a half I've been self-actualizing by mainly meditating. I feel right now in my journey I have all of the knowledge to get enlightened and to even cultivate what is known as the golden spiritual immortal body (Emperor Huang Di). My ego is still searching for fulfillment in something external which is so obvious to me. Searching for the one spiritual teacher to change my life, planning for things I need to do in order to grow. These lead to dead ends. Everything that isn't from the heart that you practice daily will not last. It's that simple. And because we are unique, this means one technique may be for you, and another not so much, such is the same with diets whereby some people wouldn't benefit from raw veganism due to many reasons such as staying grounded. You know something is good if you feel good thinking about doing it, and passing it through the miraculous filter of "this is what God put me on Earth to do". I also find it a challenge to write like this, because I realize that everything falls apart in the face of love. All I'm doing by writing is answering my own questions, and other peoples questions, leading to only more questions to be answered until that one awakens to this and starts loving the one who has questions. So why am I here if I feel this way? Excitement. Everything has it's place and people need to know answers as apart of healing their karma, and spiritually evolving. By this I mean, writing about spirituality is acting as the intermediary phase for people to slowly enter love, and trust their own bodies wisdom instead of a random dude on the internet. I myself have tried to jump into love, and without the spiritual foundation of how everything is love, my beliefs, my worldview couldn't adapt without such great a pain that I wasn't willing to take. This means teachings are here to slowly change how you view reality so that it's easier to be in a constant state of love without the pain of adapting too quickly, and not understanding why you should love. It's not impossible, but only a Jesus-like being could pull that off, diving into love while having your whole ego against you, including all of those beliefs, pulling you back into that vibration you like so much of mediocrity. For mediocrity keeps you in a frequency where you don't have to feel all of your karmic emotions which is a prerequisite for being love itself, love means to love everything that arises! For now, I embody love and non-duality, by loving the one who wants to write this, and loving the one who now wants to eat some fresh vegetables, while writing about duality and truthful ways to see the world as God arising everywhere, helping you become your greatest self. This is the balance between duality and non-duality, the silver lining of infinity.

Everyday is different Some days I find myself in places without remembering how I got there. This phenomena started to unfold when I was taught that all of our thoughts are not our own, but are from the collective consciousness, here to be set free and healed by ourselves individually. This means I hardly about actions, and instead do what feels the most exciting, and if there is nothing exciting to do I find something to admire, and if there is nothing to admire I love my heart, and when I can't love my heart I love the part of myself that can't, and even when all is lost, I will return to the breathe which is the constant embodiment of life, light and love. This means I'm free of a lot of programming from simply knowing that thoughts are not ours, and are here to be healed which I find quite intriguing to observe. Like when you think of it (Get it!) you and I have no idea what thought will arise next, and doesn't that spike your curiosity a bit? Because you can't know something is going to happen until it happens, but you can know how you will feel throughout an experience by the first emotion you receive when considering a action to follow. But the freedom from programming truly makes you realize that even if you sat on a couch God will always come knocking on the door to wake you the fuck up. He's in the TV Ads, he is in the Cheetos, and he is in your neighbor outside. God is constantly sending you experiences to trigger emotions in you `that are your KARMA. This karma or emotions actually have nothing to do with the experience Truthfully, but reality creates that illusion so to avoid insanity from having a random emotion appear out of nowhere! Like imagine suddenly feeling intense rage for no reason at all while having a soothing Thai massage. Anyway, this brings me back to the point that every single day is not the same as the one before, in fact everything about it is different. Any person at any time can walk in, and suddenly become your new partner, usually its on a smaller scale, but once you are aware of how unpredictable life really is, everything changes. In my personal experience, just over a week ago a friend randomly invited me to a concert, which shocked me. I actually thought I dreamed it up, and I forgot about it until she messaged me again to see if I got the message. Indeed, God was trying to make me follow my heart, and so I immediately said yes when before I would've had to go through walls of slight nervousness and "what if" statements, but now they are all gone, forever. The bigger picture is that everything that arises in our reality; a thought, a feeling, a situation is God knocking on our door and asking us to love whatever that experience is, and then make a choice based on excitement. When the ego is particularly strong excitement is hard to notice, so I highly recommend to clean the body, and practice acting on it to really be in tune with it. You'll notice that fear comes from the intestines but excitement comes from the heart. So that means that you can trust the emotions in your heart always, the other 'lower' emotions are here to teach us to be unconditionally loving. All of this may not be true, but this is what has helped me on my journey, and has been confirmed by the energy and love I feel. And now reality flows like butter. Sending blessings to all those here.

May it all goes well for you. Indeed, taking it slow is really important, I used to install lots of habits at once too. First to enlightenment wins

The best teacher is my shadow. It always shows me in each moment where more love, and attention is required in my life

What do you think of Matt Kahn's approach to spirituality to love whatever arises in each moment? Why not instead of meditating, you focused on opening your heart chakra by fully embodying this practice (which he has said many times is the most direct path to an abiding awakening)? What is keeping you on this path in particular of meditation and self-inquiry?

When I have 2 meals a day I feel more alive and more conscious. The one caveat is that after 5-6 hours between meals hunger really settles in. Sadhguru recommends that those under 30 should eat 3 times a day, but he also recommends that Yogis eat once every 8 hours. So which is more important for spirituality + Do you have any recipes for this? Currently I eat Leos smoothie with groats, and the vegetable soup (uncooked), and I'm 17.

@YaMayka I found that yesterday I had slightly less food than I would like, so I've added a cup of nuts and raisins for Lunch and more extra virgin olive oil to the soup with pumpkin seeds. Feels great to not be waiting for the next meal anymore. @Siim Land That's impressive man, something I'll do in the future for sure. Actually there are 2 days in the month that people naturally want to fast on which is called Ekadashi. It's on the 11th day after a full or new moon: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/yoga-meditation/demystifying-yoga/ekadashi/ It's tomorrow on the 27th for you.

@YaMayka Kind of. I skipped Lunch before instead of breakfast. Yeah, cramming all of those calories into 2 meals is something I overlooked a few days ago when I changed my eating habits to this. The meals above are smallish still, but I can add more bananas!

@star ark I'm going to give IF a go! Here's my new plan: 11 am - Blueberry smoothie: 2 bananas (instead of one), 1/2 cup Oats, 1 cup Blueberry's, Spinach, Almond Milk, Raw Honey, Cocoa Powder 2-3 am - Some Fruit (nuts perhaps) << This is an optional snack 6 am- Vegetable Soup (8 cups)

That's an awesome insight!

In a talk about energy circulation Matt Kahn commented on how anything done too often, even meditation, can lead to stagnation in our lives. Just food for thought. Watch until 1:26ish.

@electroBeam I have chosen loving my heart, and blessing all souls instead of formal meditation and contemplation; that's all. All paths lead to the same destination and the video is for those who may want to consider that path.
