@Leo Gura I posted a new revelation today, was it too stoopit to not delete, or?

You’re awakening from the delusion, the dream that you don’t realize is happening.

@Delmo I said you’ve found the truth, mate!

@Preetom Damn, where were you four years ago, mate? ? The journey might have been a bit less rocky. In 2014, I found an old leather bracelet laying in the dirt.... ”None but ourselves can free our minds” Robert Nesta Marley May have been a sign, I took it as a challenge, fired my shrink and quit taking a shit ton of brain meds, cold turkey. Your words have me giggly. Thanks.

@Delmo now that you’re aware of that awareness, spend a bunch of time in stillness/meditation/whateveryoucallit, it may come back quicker than you think. Many tiny moments of latching on to “it” (you) has the potential to you experiencing it 24/7, no?

When you feel those magnificent, blissful tears, try this.... Close your eyes and let that feeling of love well up in your chest until it feels like you’ll burst. Wait just a bit longer......now let it flow out, all in one big whoosh. But, don’t aim. I call em love bombs, and I have faith that they do hit.

LOL, luckily I’m retired.....already lost five hours today!

Just received this tidbit from the collective, whatever “that” is. ”When you fully accept that “you” are 100% spiritual and zero physical, you will see the absurdity in having any faith, even belief, that ANY physical exists, at all” This “came to me”, (without words, of course.....I did my best) during a nice moment of stillness, today. Awareness IS the one truth, so who knows WTF the physical is.....or if the physical is physical. Also, who the hell is it on the other end of that connecting link? Thanks for everything.

“The connecting link was the Sativa strain you just smoked”.

@Saumaya nicely worded.

@Nahm my conscious consciousness of being conscious (gotta weed out likely ego trickery, been there) is not a thing, ok. Sensation? cool Experience? same

@Viking to your question re: “consciousness/awareness can I be aware of it”? I’m confused at your confusion.

Consciousness/awareness? You ARE it.

I’ve a most excellent friend who practiced emergency medicine for just a few years after graduation from doctor school, then left the medical field all together to follow his true passion. He’s doing well these days, as a concert pianist in Germany and Switzerland! Follow that passion.

In the “hot” tub at 80F. Blissfully.

Almonds, peanuts and avocados.

A relaxed abdominal breath (diaphragmatic) as opposed to the more common chest breath wherein the intercostal and clavicular muscles are involved, and easily fatigued.....leading to that sensation? (old respiratory therapist, I watch people breath and wonder how they have enough energy to do it “that way”)

@Viking eloquently worded, thanks for doing what I struggle (but I’m cool with) with....lol. I’d like a refund on that English major. Tearing down that shoddily-built mental construct of self is not ez, but pretty damn worth the effort.

Ed Zachary. “The Guest House”.....accept it, live it, love it. Lol

Anything that quiets that damn monkey has tremendous SPIRITUAL value to me!!

Knowing what I do now, I’d *almost* do life all over again......in consciousness! Way more fun.

What is the field of your passion?

This 57 year young guy can vividly imagine a moment when you’ll look back at this and giggle, a little, OP. Hang in there, you’re super far from alone. Love.

Do you enjoy a nice, full, relaxed belly breath, or do you breath like a typical adult human?

This is what I’m referencing, but only a recent phenomena. Four years of heavy “medical” use post retirement, and NOW, it’s becoming a slight deterrent to my enjoyment of super simple consciousness. Damn crossbreeders.
