Do you realize this is all a fantasy on some level and you can create what you enjoy? If so then do it. If not, then look into what some of these people are saying. The biggest comment I've seen shared by a number of people and have found a great deal of freedom in myself is that how your feeling and seeing meaninglessness is actually just another form of meaning your applying. your negatively feeling and seeing this notion of of illusion as a negative empty, rather then a positive empty.

Hey man, let me ask you a few things and perhaps I can really help you. 1. Do you hold down a job or bounce from one to the other because of being a poor worker or fail all your subjects in school? 2. Are there things you do focus on with not a lot of problem, like self you mentioned self help isn't a issue to say focused on. Can you watch movies, television, games for a long period of time with no issue? If so, then you may just not really want to be doing the other things that make you distracted. I'm the same way. When I understood this about myself and no longer saw it as a disability, and that I just wasn't interested, I was that much closer to stop blaming myself. It took time, because even though I then understood I just wasn't interested, I still wanted to feel like something was wrong with me still, and that I should be able to focus just because I wanted to, or that I wasn't interested in enough things, and that I was only interested in self help/spirituality/games/food/movies/martial arts. But once I got past that and just realized, "Oh this is just my interest spectrum", I became more at ease, less pressuring of myself, less blaming, less feeling like there was something wrong with me. Let me know if any of that resonates with you, maybe I can share some more.

Isn't it possible to not fear death and still eat in and live in a way that promotes the best quality life? I could feed you sugar every day in large quantities and eventually your body would start to ache, get headaches, muscle tensions, you'd start to feel gross and live a potentially long life. Or I could feed you a very nice balanced nutritious selection of food and you'd live a potentially long life but feel great, up, clear seeing, thinking, positive energy levels. Which would you prefer?

Hey Aakash, Simply loving ones life for being alive and feeling like your life is pretty good or alright with some struggles, but you manage, are very different things. I and a lot of people I've met on the spiritual path including teachers have a common narrative that people for the most part are heavily suffering, unconscious and will never really be happy. I use to see people this way and just believed it, I was raised with this view as well since my parents were spiritual seekers. Fast forward to the last 7+ years after having a number of awakenings and understandings and I see the world VERY differently. The major suffering that I once saw on everyones faces is much more nuanced or not there at all. Sure people go through shit, but how each person relates to this is different. I believe a lot of people are just content (within their own definitions to say so) or "ok" or "Ok" but know things could be better, but not agonizing over the fact. Data suggests its in the 50-60% range. Some people are getting some sort of enjoyment or temporary satisfaction from jobs, relationships, kids, home buying, vacations. A lot of these people if asked the "how is your life question" wether to oneself or from another like the surveys I mentioned will and do say its alright, could be better, but its ok, lifes not without suffering and struggle. And the studies show this, and I could relate to this at one point. This is not to say that at any moment a person could no longer find these things enjoyable and find lack in their life, but majority aren't in the depressed, really suffering stages. And again, this is just what I've gathered and reflected on. Ultimately we cant gather all people in a room and make a accurate estimation of this question. But these surveys bring up some interesting questions about just how much "suffering" there is and what exactly is a content person, because if you put a criteria on happiness, then you may get different answer, but if the "general" person feels like their life is ok for what ever reason that is, even if "you" think or see them acting in ways that you feel say are otherwise, they still may just feel generally "okish" inside and aren't troubled in their own internal world to the extent that would make them think there life is shit, not worth living, empty, meaningless, etc (sure these feelings/thoughts may come up for periods, but thats just human and each person handles those moments in different ways). Sure they may want more, and will feel like more will make them more happy, but they still feel "good" enough to report they are satisfied with their lives or are just "meh".

This is a question that’s really fascinated me for a while. I use to believe like most of the replies that suffering happens on a major level and it’s always been happening to most people. Along with this belief is that spirituality stuff will create “real” happiness. But then I started really questioning if this is true. We can’t see the whole internal world of all people. A lot of happiness studies show that people in Europe America and South America are decently content or happy. Sure as a spiritual guy you may qualify this a s not real happiness or contentment or it’s coming from the wrong place in your view but still it’s their answer to the question of how they see themselves. Averages are about 75/35 happy to not with only about 10-20% really not happy. This is in line with mental health records of people with real depression, anxiety ocd major addictions. Still I think the numbers are a little worse. So it’s vloser probably to 60/40 or so with the bottom 10-20% being major. Lot more to the subject but I think it’s important to let in that the world is not gone to shit and majority is screwed up or feels that way.

I’m talking more about love energy in the universe not personal love.

So, I do my best to point to unconditional love in words and making sense of how to live ones life from this place, or at least to the best each of us can.

Glad you liked the video. I use to be on the shy side, but still am a bit of a introvert. I feel pretty good in front of the camera actually and speaking about these topics or video games But maybe your seeing old energy bodies of mine.

Its actually a onezy, and it is comfort level 9+

don’t you have better things to do god then make a little post on this forum. Aside from that why did you make yourself hidden to most humans is there a plan in place are humans going to make themselves extinct any time soon

Ya nothing really needs to be said. Its understood and is bound to happen when you party. Really, REALLY, its no big deal AT ALL. Don't distance yourself for something that people will one day tell a great story about you and say remember that one time you drank so much passed out and puked. Happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Seriously just laugh it off.

Sometimes things like this peel away the shell of our old ideas and beliefs (which are can be looked at as a covering of our deeper energetic love makeup), when this happens we feel raw and open/vulnerable which interestingly enough is accurate to whats happening, like a wound thats exposed in flesh, it feels raw and vulnerable.

I was thinking about what were some critical understandings that I found along the way of understanding and awakening to truth, and being honest with yourself came up as one of the most important, if not the most. Let me know what you think and if it was helpful, or perhaps any questions you have or would like me to go into.

That’s my aura reflecting off my clothing. It’s a onezy as well ?

Thank you for the feedback. From reading your posts lately, You also seem to be deepening in your understanding and you have a good use of putting matters of the mind and nonduality into your own language.

Thats a pretty good description honestly.

Thanks for sharing. Sweet story. Perhaps your path is opening more doors....

@Martin123 @Aimblack @DrewNows Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot to me. I've wanted to share what I've learned for a while, and its good to hear it is of some use to people. So again thank you. Cheers!

Joes a pretty open minded guy in my experience. He's been exposed to a lot. He's got a good head and decent heart as well. I think you can learn a lot on his show and he's a pretty good gateway for people somewhere in orange to be exposed and open up to values and views in green/yellow.

Sounds like you got good advice, I'd follow it. You'll let this new I am ground into being in this process. In regards to your first question though, on this is obviously so, that will come later When you see it, you'll go oh fuck me, THATS whats always been so......oh...my....god.....

To me it sounds like you may be experiencing a new state of conscioness that you’ve labeled as the I am state that you’ve read and learned about. It may be it may not. That’s for you to understand. Elaborate on the I am state if you can. In terms of the it’s so obvious question. Serotonin gave a great answer. My my sense is your on to something but your still caught up in distinctions and confusion of the mind still grasping and labeling. Again what is this I am state in your own words. Not what you’ve read. Why is it an I am state and not just anything else

Is this a statement or a question? I honestly don’t know.

Thank you. Ya sometimes the energy of the speaker communicates more then their words, and sometimes the words create logical energy bridges to the source of what they are pointing to. I literally spent a year watching videos on Nonduality from Adyishanti, Paul Hedderman, Lisa Cairns, Rupert Spira, Da Free John, Papaji, and 95% of the time I couldn't follow any of their words, but the energy of what they shared opened up and disintegrated more then I knew was possible. So again thank you for the comment, makes it worthwhile.

Agreed.

You keep narrowing down what I'm saying into partials that disintegrate my actual point/s. I've done the inquiry and it can reveal Truth, but I'm also saying that its not the whole picture.....and yet paradoxically it kinda is
