why would you dream up such an silly woman... silly Nahm jks btw not saying your wife is silly Love that summary, that's exactly how it seems to me. What's funny is back in the old old days, buddhist monks and yogis use to say that only men can enlighten... and then it turns out that actually women are better at enlightenment then men in general.

While "people" are on the path, they develop an allergic reaction to calling themselves human or acting dualistically so that they perpetuate the myth that they are awake or super spiritual when they aren't. Once the path is over, they are free to be as dualistic as they want, because the myth that they are awake or super spiritual or enlightened is over.

Transpersonal Psychology. Or not go to university at all.

Of course, what have you been doing your entire life? Moving on. You have homework to do, so you move onto playing video games to get away from the fear of doing homework. Your parents get angry at you, so you run away in fear or get angry back at them to move on from the pain that your parents are triggering within you, when a girl rejects you, you think she's not worth it anyway or start thinking she's a jerk just to move on from the pain of being rejected. We move on a lot in life, but who here actually doesn't move on and fully feels and embraces what we're trying to move on from? How long will you be moving on before you realise that moving on is the problem? And the solution isn't to move on, but to stop and look at what's actually happening instead?

Whose the one imagining that? EDIT: actually on 2nd thought, whose the one imagining this:

...and is that realisation you just dreamt up, and want to have, made of different stuff to an actual realisation? Btw, just a random guess here, but letting go of fears doesn't mean your fears will be realised. It just means you're letting go of them and they may or may not be realised. You don't have any evidence that your fears will actually be realised, because all evidence is arbitrary belief. So its ok to let go of fears without feeling like letting go = definitely fear will be realised.

There's your problem! Those bloody fears. You really want to wake up but those fears are so real and strong that its impossible. Why would God put them there if he loved you so much? If only God made it so those fears were literally the belief themselves instead of beliefs pointing to something real, then it would be so much easier.

Reading about it is nice, but God is eager for you to experience it yourself.

or you could just have the intention to get it across in consideration of the way your collocutor might interpret it

Hi guys for the past month or 2 whenever i sleep i feel a bliss that radiates everywhere and dissolving and then after a few hours i wake up feeling overly energised and can't get back to sleep. If i take melatonin to go back to sleep ill wake up again in another hour or 2. This is a considerable health risk because lack of sleep is disruptive to your daily activities, and in the long term. I feel energised when i wake up but this whole thing is causing very bad fatigue throughout the day. Doctors are fucked on the issue. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

that's a good point. It was happening prior to the melatonin. Michael569 has some siddhis or something because 2-3 weeks ago I was getting very big spikes of adrenaline unhealthily often (clinically found) due to a psychospiritual phenomena. So it could be related to adrenaline. Diet I don't think is the problem because I've had a keto diet for ages now and this problem has only started happening now. I think adrenaline reduction tablets may be a good temporary fix until a deeper solution arises. I already have valium because the doctor gave it to me before due to the issue a few weeks ago but I don't want to use it that much. @integral thanks for the advice, in hindsight I came across as a bit of a smart ass because people usually aim for bliss which I forgot. Yes bliss is very good, but disruption from fatigue and lack of concentration from lack of sleep isn't good. In the past (from 2 yrs ago to a week ago) I use to eat like 2-4 chicken breasts a day, so got heaps of protein. Unfortunately that had 0 effect on whats going on.

been meditating for ages I do what the cool dudes adviata vedanta people do and meditate/contemplate 24/7 jks. I meditate all the time, but contemplate whenever I feel like it which is usually maybe 1-3 hours a day. excellent idea sure am, 20 carbs or less for the last 2 years woop woop (not advocating people do this, it can be unhealthy from a certain perspective, even though it works wonders for me). There's actually a bliss energy all the time, and it just gets much bigger at night, never thought it could be adrenaline or catecholamine from the low carbs. Nice. ketones keeping me up at night, im gonna tell all my low carb friends to show off A very informative video on why you should eat a keto diet:

Im pretty sure people were much older in the past. Which is interesting, and means people might start to leave the forum after 25. Right so in the dating section, all of the discussion was around 16 yr old problems all along explains a lot.

@randomguy123 its ok to let that sad story go, and feel good for the sake of it... because that story isn't actually real. The only ego trip you're going through right now is thinking you're a problem.

And then graduate

@Leo Gura I edited it and made it suffering and love. Of course, aim for Love, that's literally the only point of this existence. Don't just wait for suffering to woop ya ass, go further and strive for Love. And just keep at it, over and over. There's literally no other point to existence then to do that. Of course, joy and passion aswell. But all of the assessments are happening as feeling here. And all diversion of that feeling to dream is dilution. And I was just making the point that its so beautiful that both dynamics are happening, a dream about being a student and learning from a teacher, but also ultimately that broken down as just pure feeling itself. Its just beautiful to see that. We start off in the journey worried that our feelings will send us astray, so we use logic and authority figures to help us make decisions, but in the end those authority figures and the thoughts were all just feeling anyway. How funny.

Suffering is the only actual teacher, Leo teaching us is just a story All the videos spiritual teachers make, what is that other than yourself sharing love to yourself. While pretending to be some separate spiritual teacher dude making it lol. The only actual way you could possibly hand homework in, is through releasing suffering. Anything Leo could say to us in the dream to suggest that we are doing our homework, is ultimately none other than I sharing love to I. But it makes a beautiful story though. The idea that Leo is actually teaching us and assessing our homework, its just when you break it down and realise Leo is indistinguishable from you and me and everything else, its just you sharing with you. A facade of distinction. And if you want to share more love to yourself, have more of the dream characters wake up. But ultimately Leo can't make us do our homework, or assess it, because Leo really isn't there in actuality. And any assessment is less pure than the real teacher which is the suffering itself. And love. The teacher is suffering and love.

the problem is, the hardest core ones on here get resistance from other users and mods for going too far So the hardest core ones end up keeping their problems private or to themselves. So you wouldn't see many students on here. Jed Mckenna's attitude isn't super welcome here, even if that attitude had love. Because that attitude pisses people off too much.

@Leo Gura Yeah i meant of that 0.00 whatever percent. You've said sadhguru and blabla are partially awakened. I didn't mean normies. of course the degrees dont start at 0.0001% otherwise the people on here wouldn't have degrees of it, which obviously they do.

Well the ego can get those things, because when you awaken, even big awakenings, there's still egoic shit going on. And you agree because you've said in the past that everyone is partially awakened. Even if you know deep down it was Truth that woke up, and not the ego. The ego is still clearly there. Because there's all this shit you want to purge. You seem to be making a distinction between knowing and abidance. Which sort of makes sense because awakened 'people' change state depending on what's going on, but the knowing is consistently the same. But I see abidance and knowing as the same thing. I've never experienced it happening before, but knowing must be impermanent too otherwise how does unenlightening happen.

@Leo Gura the thing is though, the only way to know the truth is to BE it. Because any other way is grasping, which is impossible. You can't know/BE the truth by trying to take some diluted memory of a 5 minute trip back to a dualistic framework. Because that's just being a dualistic framework with a cool memory. So the only way for the truth to know itself is to abide by it. The truth can't know/be itself in disunity, that's literally what disunity is.

@Shin Totally understand where you're coming from, and I'm sorry for causing you any pain, if I did.

@SamueLSD mind = Mind

why would truth not care about unifying with itself? and aren't you into sober methods for abidance?
