@Nahm I had several non-dual experiences on Ayahuasca retreats. It was a long period of confusion and ungroundedness after. I struggled quite a bit, especially with my worldviews and outlooks being completely shattered. I found Leo's vids on youtube right after and have been following him since. I also don't think I'm awakened, so to speak, but had awakening experiences. I still struggle constantly. Talking about my Aya retreat seemed to turn a lot of people off, and yes, many of my behaviors and actions and beliefs changed, quite radically. I'm still integrating the experience and attempting to establish balance.

@Nahm How does one uncover sneakiness here? Like, experiencing lonliness is sneakiness? A self-sabatoge?

@28 cm unbuffed I think there is definently some truth in what you are saying. Did u experience this?

@ajasatya I guess I miss my social circles. My non-dual experience changed me. I care about different things now. I can't see myself going back, so to speak, but I do miss many of the old relationships I had. I guess I fear being or winding up alone.

Hey guys, anyone have any experience of becoming very lonely during spiritual work/after spiritual awakening? I watched Leo's vid on lonliness and loved it. Just wondering if maybe there are others who have experienced this, and if there are any insights anyone can offer. I used to have more friends and close family members than I could count, but after my awakening it's been reduced to a very scant few. I also have trouble these days opening up to new friends. How did you guys deal with this? Thank you.

Whether someone or something "thinks" or "does not think" he/she/it is God matters not. God is all there is.

There's a lot of really good stuff in the Bible. There's a lot of bad stuff too.

@Leo Gura Leo, do you do skype sessions? Or interviews?

@Leo Gura Thanks, Leo.

@sleepyj Yeah if definently sucks so far...I'm going to keep at it though. Thank you.

@Serotoninluv Thanks. Yes unfortunately I use all of those other escapes at times as well, and yes, the relief works, but is only temporary.

Thank you. Now when you say "be careful because it is really powerful" what do you mean? It caused the depression?

@non_nothing I expected to find some peace and to still my mind I guess. I suppose I wouldnt be so freaked out if none of it was happening lol. I dont really honestly want all this phenomena, I just want to still my mind.

@cetus56 Thanks. That seems to be great info and great insight. I appreciate it so much.

@Telepresent @AlwaysBeNice @Serotoninluv @cetus56 @Enlightenment @Anton Rogachevski @Salvijus @purerogue @YaMayka @Telepresent Thank you all very much. This is a confusing part of my journey and I appreciate all the insight, clarification, and ideas. My mind I feel is not just monkey mind, but crazy monkey mind throwing hand grenades. Ive never been one for yoga but perhaps I should try. Many body sensations come up when I meditate and perhaps yoga would be good for getting in touch. I do read a lot of spiritual stuff and I will continue to do so. Ive also been i therapy this past year and perhaps I need a contemplation/journaling practice as well. And yeah, I meditate to become calm, but that's not what I get. Believe it or not, I overlooked that. It's for awareness, not calmness. I will also try to let go of expectations and to be more open to what appears. Thank you all again. I truly appreciate every word. -There is no God...there is ONLY God.
