Dumb Enlightened

But this dream is fucking amazing, isn't it ? That's the purpose of everything, to experience, to play, why would one want to leave it ?, there's no where to go If you don't realize the magnificence of this dream you're still asleep,

The ego will be there are you enlightned or not, but the identification with it won't

That's really interesting, it was something that I realized . My last practice and something I still do, Is to sit and relax, Just relax the focus of attention, If Enlightenment is our true nature it's obviously here already right ? So what is more natural than a relaxed state. Now I'm relaxed almost all the time, but I still do this purposefully, a couple hours a day I just sit and relax, or while taking a walk It's like, when you are nothing looking for it, it shows up to you

Yeah it wouldn't fit within the body hahhahahaha, What I meant is that before Enlightenment -- Self identification with body/mind programs the brain to have certain behaviors/beliefs and action that match with this identification, when you think you are a human being, you act and behave like one After Enlightenment -- identification with being, infinity etc... the brain from the human will reprogram itself to act and behave according to this new reality If you sit at home watching TV and playing videogames all day long, even after awakening your behaviors won't change I guess

Like yourself first and then everyone will like you, That's LOA, you attract what you are, if you like yourself and like others, you will receive it back

That's true, I'm seeing this myself, because I can see clearly the distinction between the human 'me' and being (awareness, consciousness,god..whatever you wanna call it), looking at the cup of coffee beside me I see clearly that it's not a cup but is just pure being, everywhere, it's so clear as the sun light. Has the human 'me' embodied this awakening ? no, I'm working on improvement now, but most of my behaviors are still the same. For sure there has to be a lot of work post Enlightenment to embodie it fully, leo wisely said " Enlightenment is not the end, is the beginning"

what's the difference between enlightenment and awakening ?

but is not you who is having the human experiences, they are happening within the real you, If the distinction between being and ego was clear, you would feel peace despite what the human was experiencing, I think that your identification with the ego/mind isn't gone yet, and it's afraid to let go, so that's why you are close to a panic breakdown, the false identity is afraid to dissolve for good.

But the person kinda understands what is going on, kinda like " Well, so I am not what I thought I was, everything is one, so I guess I can relax a little, I don't need to worry and be stressed that much" the person sees that it is an expression of the one, or a vessels' through which life is experiencing itself, so all those survival instincts start to go way, and the mind programming starts to change to adapt to this new knowledge After the awakenings I had I don't feel like doing most of the things that I used to do, like worrying about stuff and etc... Why would I disrespect other person or be mean to them If I know that they are the same consciousness, All the bad behaviors I think they come from the sense of self identification. so when it goes way they start to go too. Behavior change is not the consequence of awakening but a byproduct of it I think. The person does not NEED to be loving and good, but there's nothing that makes you act otherwise, but yes the old programming takes time to change I guess.

The difference between spiritual autolisys and self inquiry is that autolisys will use the mind to destroy every of its beliefs until there's nothing left, so the mind will have to face the core belief that is its on illusion, the self identification, so then when self realization happens, only the truth remains, because all the mind made beliefs are chattered already Self inquiry will deal directly with the main believe, the self/false identification, and then when awakening happens, although you realized truth, there's a great amount of old mind patterns and programming that have to be dealt with

How do you know who is a master, ? How to define one ? What criteria ? Can I prove the existence of a master ? Can I prove the existence of anyone ? Can I prove the existence of a human ? That's Jed's technique, sorta

Because the person is not enlightened, the person can change for 'better' after self realization, but is the universe that becomes enlightened and doesn't identify with the person anymore.

Do you rather accept or suffer ?

I liked Jed's books, because before I started to read non duality, I was not a spiritual person by any means, I didn't do yoga, nor meditation, I was not religious, etc... and when I see an " Enlightened being" on youtube, talking about that everything was love, and we should love to connect to or higher selves, and all that stuff we see in the new age movement, I would then try to do it, but it looked like fake to me, and I would think that if to find truth/liberation I would have to do it I wouldn't even try, So fortunately I found out Jed's books, he talks about truth, not liberation, not to have a better life, not to become anything, his whole book summarized is: You know nothing, despite the fact that you exist, everything else is belief, as far as you can prove only you exist, and you don't know what you are. To find out this, to have the direct experience of this, you'll have to try to prove that something besides your existence is truth, and in the end you will see that you can't. So only truth will remain. Truth is not bad, I don't know why the self identification so badly tries to avoid it, I guess because is its death I tried spiritual autolisys and then I used other methods also,

Great video, thanks for sharing it

Well, it's not mainstream LOA, but is the way it works,

The thing with the LOA is that you don't get what you want, you get what you are (here I am talking about you the personality, not the true self), If someone wants money, you'll have to built the personality of someone who has a lot of money, even if you don't have, you can start to adopt this personality, in the begging you'll have to fake it, but then money will start to show up, and then eventually you'll start to believe it, so you won't have to fake anymore, Without knowing anything about LOA, I did exactly this when I went to college, My high school years sucked, I was shy and introverted, had very few friends and no girls, and when I graduated I had enough of that, I decided that when I went to college I would be someone different, I Had observed the popular guys from school, so I had an idea of how they act. When I went to college, since my first day I started to pretend that I was cool and popular, nobody knew me anyway so nobody would know that I was faking it. In one month my life was totally different, I had friends and girls, I was invited to parties all the time, it was like these things came from nowhere to me, I couldn't believe that, such a great transformation in such a short period of time.

It works, but not in the way you think it does, read the book " Reality Transurfing" if you want to understand it

Yes I felt some physical stuff, Like some sort of energy going through the whole body, It happens sometimes during the day, sometimes weaker sometimes stronger, some kind of pressure in the forehead, but these feelings change along the day, right now I am feeling pressure in the forehead, there's even a sensation of something in the skin, on that spot, but I am not feeling energy through the body. There's something in the heart region, but I'm not sure what is, just a sensation. When I say me, I refer to the behaviors, the mind/body patterns like things I want to eat or drink, stuff I like and don't like to do.

I was wondering recently about this third- eye stuff, because I did a lot of focus/concentration meditation, and I would feel a great pressure on the forehead, between the eyes, sometimes it became painful because I stop the meditation and the pressure wouldn't go away, so I would take some pills, Today I can actually pressure this area of the brain by will, like if I wanted to close my hand and pressure it, I can do the same with this area of the head, I've read some books to understand the brain, but I didn't get to any conclusion

It's hard to say exactly, but I've been experiencing awakening, and when I say awakening, I mean consciousness not identified with the ego mind (or that's what I think is happening), and it's becoming constant, but it has not changed "me" too much (the behaviors), because it's something pretty recent I guess. How do I know that it's actually an awakening and not delusion ? I'm looking to my computer right now and it's not a computer anymore, but is a computer at the same time, and it doesn't make any sense , it just seems fake, or looking to the people on the street everyone seems like they're wearing a costume, I don't even know how to explain it.

Do you have books suggestions ?

I wonder what comes next then ? (I am not joking, I am really curious).

That's my understating of the ego process. The ego is this human being that you are currently identified with, and it's real, it won't go away after enlightenment, it may change with time. The ego is what makes one human being different from the other, all the characteristics, personality, etc... This sense of me, well, that's false, that will go away after enlightenment, the sense of me it's an identification of consciousness with the ego process, the body/mind, when consciousness realizes it, the sense of me vanishes, but the ego process remains. That's why actually there aren't enlightened people, because enlightenment is everything, is the absolute truth, everything is from the same source, the sense of aliveness that currently you think comes from the body/mind (the sense of I) actually doesn't, this sense of aliveness is consciousness itself. So when consciousness is no identified with the ego mind anymore, what happens is that the ego understands that, and before this realization everything that the ego did was trying to stay alive, it was driven by survival instincts, and it resulted in all the bad behaviors that people have. Now the ego mind understands the truth, understands that it is a sort of illusion/dream , so now all the behaviors based on survival start to go way, that's why we have an illusion of an " enlightened person", is the same as the illusion of a non enlightened person, When you wake up, it's actually the universe/consciousness that wakes up.

I have a technique, when you are at the shopping centre for example, and you see a girl, just approach her immediately, don't give time for your mind to think about it, instead of thinking just do it, instead of thinking about what to say, just say anything. In the begging it will probably suck, but it will get better.
