I need to be baptized by Kanye. Then... Instant enlightenment!!!!

That's life. What keep us in the illusion of Maya is thinking that everything is real. Or let's say serious, important...

@dharm4 If you are in silence, no mental labeling, no nothing... you are awareness too

What happened to me @Conrad was that at some point I realized that what is life? If I (the little ego) has life is because of awareness. It was not a very high level realization, I was still in the duality of God and Me, separated. But that helped me to realize that the only consciousness that exists is one. So mine and God's must be one... and so on It was a shock, but a good shock now that I understand it better...

Cool! It helped me a lot to understand better how to cope with those episodes of depression, psychosis, etc.. Right now I can say that nothing can affect me at a mental level, but I am always focused on what's real, not what my mind says. :-)

I agree... I had also a "psicosis episode" that now I know it was a spiritual awakening. The problem was that I was not ready to understand what happened to me. I met a lot of people in the hospital that in my opinion, they are closer to awakening than a lot of "sane" people. In my opinion, that happens because awareness or reality pushes us so badly or you can also say that we cant's stand things as they are. That causes a breakdown that can lead to a psychotic episode, depression, etc... But, if you are not ready, because our culture thinks that spirituality is mumbo jumbo there's not really a good support to help you realize what is happening to you. The video I posted above explains that better than me, but that was my experience...

@Flatworld Crusades I think this video can be of your interest:

Cool. That's great!!! ???

@Psychonaut Shut up!

Thanks! I will take a look at this video. Interesting.

Maybe the problem is our idea of perfection. There's perfection too in the people who has those anomalies. The problem is that because the majority is different we see them as defective or abnormal. What would happen if the normal was to have a deformation and we were the "perfect" ones? Do we feel perfect anyway or different and abnormal? IDK...

Like a Rolling Stone!

Yes, I was... really. Super desperate. You were not as clueless as me. You did good. :-)

@Shin Lol... I didn't realize that's what we all do when people have sex. We are fucking ourselves all the time. Another cosmic joke

OMG... this is puurrrrfect!

@Flatworld Crusades I thought I was going crazy, and because I had some psychotic episodes before I went to the hospital Lol... they were as clueless as me. Then I realized what was happening. Now I would like to have that experience again.

Same thing happened to me, the ego freaked out so much that I was like screaming and completely shocked. Like the devil looking at God Lol... and that's what really happened hehehe... we need to learn to stay calm in the presence of no-self. And not be scared because that's what we really are. But the ego doesn't want to die.

Lol... I was going to write a quote of Huang Po when I saw your comment Lol... and I forgot to delete it... Ok... This is what Huang Po said hehehe "People neglect the reality of the illusory world"

Bye!

I can see the tip of my nose, does it count as head? :-P

@Nahm dropping bombs Lol

I was saying in general, not anyone specifically. So, you are good hehehe...

We are trying to convince Andrea of our terminology and words to define God, that's not gonna happen. I think we have to learn to let go more.

I understand, it depends on our personality. In my case my strongest epiphany was through prayer. That's why I tend to look for it. But I understand not everyone has the same experiences. Thanks!
