@Charlotte You don't know it. You ARE it. You have to literally become it and words can't even go there.

@Wisebaxter indeed. Awakening feels like you beat the game. You pull back the curtain in Oz and see the wizard pulling the strings. And you discover you are the wizard. "Funny in a way as everyone always talks about feeling more connected on a spiritual path. But really we're alone. Saying that....I guess they're the same thing?" Indeed you see that is both and One simultaneously.

@Esoteric i think your intuition is spot on

@Commodent @Leo Gura my 13 yr old son got it immediately. As if it was completely obvious to him and second nature.. It was amazing. And refreshing.

@Truth Addict gotchya

@Commodent people stuck in the materialist paradigm are gonna demonize spirituality/idealism. My own wife does not like me even mentioning it. Because it threatens their worldview. Or they just flat out think you are crazy. The problem is that idealism isn't mainstream yet. Maybe in a few hundred years many many more people will awake and there will be more of a collective open mind. But in today's times it's shunned - just like Galileo was shunned in his day.

@Truth Addict It will definitely appear that way unless one has had direct experiences for themselves with this stuff. But i don't think I'm stating anything you don't already know or at least intuit. So from the POV of someone who hasn't it's warranted.

@Jkris it happens when it wants to happen. Perhaps you still identify with "some" thing. Such as the body...or the "soul" but realize this is illusory.

@zeroISinfinity love ya Zero. No need to die. You are already God.

@StephenK you will come full circle to where it will start to matter again but in a much, much, different and more conscious way.

@nowimhere yes it does.

@Keyhole

@nowimhere they're separate so you can do 30 min of self inquiry then take a break and do no mind. Or do self inquiry one day and the next day do no mind...that's what i did. And i recommend Leos first few enlightenment videos while doing self inquiry. I think in the 2nd or 3rd he starts to inquire - so listen to those while in self inquiry mode. Good luck!

@Aakash and how do you know that as void you can manipulate consciousness?

@Enlightenment i know from your posts you have done pyschedelics but what about 5-Meo? It should not take more than a year naturally. That also depends on life experience so it's relative of course but after 3 yrs i would look at that if i had access to it.

@Aakash not only are you in the same place but youre him!

@Aakash

@cetus56 nice!

@Aakash it's all your wonderful imagination.

@nowimhere self inquiry is what awoke me. It is a form of mediation in the form of contemplation. I combined it with the do nothing no mind mediation. Have you tried both?

@Mu_ perhaps - but only he knows.

@Aakash of course.

@Mu_ he grasps all of it in concept....duality within non-duality. He just needs an actual direct experience and it will happen if he can get his ass off the forum long enough to awaken

@Aakash love you bro ! You have the spirit to awaken!

@Aakash then you agree it would take a consensus to say what is stage coral and what is not.
