nooo000OOOOO!

@MisaghThank you! What is shaktipath?

@Misagh Turiya sounds about right. yes I still have triggers

@MisaghWhat is your definition of self-realization? seeing the absolute truth or an enlightenment experience? Or purely a conceptualized understanding?

@MisaghI am going through a phase where i start to notice fear in everyone around me in their behavior, actions and attitudes. I feel like this may have to do with noticing all my own fears. Some of this could be projections as well as judging others to distract myself from what is happening inside of me. Only occasionally does the noticing turn into judging, like usually when it's someone close. Any ways to get better at embracing fear? Also my mind has slowed considerably but there are days when it will never want to stop. Does/did this happen to you and how do you handle it?

Well Leo... The experience you have given me has been quite a trip! Thank you for what you do! I love me and you love you....therefore, i think we should make love! Whatdoyousay? Jokes aside....HE E E YYYY! LIFE IS B E A UTIFUL!

@SOULThanks! I can understand what you mean. All of these systems of interpretations are relative truths which are uniquely personally concocted and have no merit to be held as conceptual belief/truth alone. I suppose you critique his perspective. In reality he is you. When i first read some of Faceless posts I could not make sense of them, but they intrigued me. I admit to having some attachments to them as I saw some relative truth and wanted to understand what was being said. This may have created some confusion and delusions relating to these concepts but they have inevitably helped me inquire from my own life experience, guiding me to my own truth. Side note: Always enjoy reading your perspective/posts on here

@SOULIn my perspective, Faceless is using this communication technique to help bring about awareness/understanding and self inquiry to those who still create fragmentation. I relish reading the deep insights as they do ring true. Separation creates suffering and a conditioned perspective. Bringing awareness to all these patterns ends them, and gives a holistic understanding and freedom from the conditioned mind

I like this perspective on arguments. Not sure if this exactly relates but It kind of reminds me of collective consciousness and ego. How the mind will never stop creating problems that need to be fixed. @Anna1that was good to point out, confusion seems to wanna make it's rounds. Also nice call out earlier!

@abrakamowseYeah it is weird right? Almost paradoxical. it is like if you "try to" maintain unconditioned whole observation, the mind takes over and makes it a seeking habit, or task still subtly through a lens. You keep thoughts away but the experience is still being held by the mind And the minute you start actually "being' without any lens, your mind creeps in to try and identify the happening. There can be no seeking, desire, or focused state, only the natural flow life offers

There was no claim here that conceptualization is needed to reach enlightenment. You may have assumed that was the point of this topic. Yes words can only be used as pointers but there is still merit for gaining a conceptual understanding of enlightenment as long as one recognizes it as only an idea that can only be fully understood with experience After my enlightenment experience my mind eventually wanted to explain what had occurred but i could not figure out how to put it into words. So realizing the limitations is very important.

@tsukiThank you! The answer lies above right? Thought? focus or lack of? understanding = freedom?

@Barry J Determining the purpose for seeking. If there is no purpose, there will be no seeking. Maybe the realization or letting go of seeking has to do with not having expectations. why does one seek? Who is this seeker?

sorry to chime in but you seem confused. I feel as if i have some understanding. @now is forever fragmentation between one's identity/the self and thoughts which is ultimately an illusion of what your mind sees you. psychological time is identification with thoughts or stories for past and future (experience and projection) truth = awareness or being = dynamic (my understanding anyways) (correct me if i have some misunderstandings)

Maybe not directly but don't see how it would hurt Distortion could lead to ego-made false truths regarding enlightenment . In my experience, perspective is a powerful tool for introspection @Joseph MaynorThanks I enjoy the simplicity

well said! Questioning life to the inner core of being, to the end of space and time, to infinity and beyond

@disconnectedYeah dude idk but part of me thinks that it is out of your control. You can only continue working on yourself and doing what makes YOU HAPPY! I haven't looked at a corey wayne material in many many years but from what i remember he preaches alpha male behavior. When you get her over again you must try to seduce her (it should be natural) but if she says she's coming over as a friend and that's not what you want well tell her you have other plans. Most guys fail to continue courting their girls and expressing how they feel in the moment without getting too serious about what this or that means for the "relationship" LAST ADVICE: TRUST YOURSELF, BE CONFIDENT, ANY GIRL WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU. Good luck man

@disconnectedTo my understanding, it is indeed a lifetime thing (hard as that may sound). But first you have to make your intentions clear. Any and every time she reaches out to you, assume it is because she wants to see you and make it a romantic date! I think the goal is to get her to start questioning her decision to have left you. Corey spoke of using social media and things to let her know about your "moving on" dating, activities, changes in your life. Any more pursuit on your part will only drive her away. On another note, love is playful, fun, exciting, free, and maybe mysterious.

@Good-boyThat's true however i believe Leo was only playing a role in his video. He doesn't seem to see himself as "above" those who are working "regular" jobs, but just wanted to get the point across that maybe we have overlooked how complex and cruel our society can be. I really enjoyed his perspective and understanding of what he believes to be the best option for "success" and "happiness" given our current reality

@Good-boychill out dude i work at macdonalds and it's great! As manager i eat happy meals anytime i want! I could even refuse service to Leo if he came up looking all high and mighty in shades.

Interesting thoughts not sure about the statistical claims. Definitely a bigger disconnect today socially but the internet has also brought a lot of unity in the world between cultures

Good ole corey wayne. I liked his material as well! I would be surprised if you haven't learned what to do from his advice. My thoughts are you could let her come over one more time if she suggests it but end all communication and "move on" because girls tend to want more what they can't have if you know what i mean She doesn't get to be the priority anymore. Keep reflecting on yourself and how you became complacent but seize every new opportunity to create possible dates with other women. Also if you do get another opportunity to see her again lay it all out there with your actions and not your words. Corey wayne suggests not to label anything and let her do the pursuing and when she wants a label, there you go. if you give your best effort in re-attracting and seducing her "if you get that chance" and it fails, then you know and you can even ask her to leave then and there

@Joseph MaynorTwo questions for you: Does enlightenment in sports make zero sense? I felt maybe "flow" state is somehow related to higher awareness (maybe non-dual state) Do you see an enlightened world to be any sort of possibility in the future?

thank you.

freedom from mental and psychological pain?
