VeganAwake

Psychological suffering is resistance to circumstance. The physical body naturally attempts to avoid pain and suffering as natural survival instinct. The self illusion/ego/me is like the conditioned mental resistance beyond the body. (like a karen complex) It prolongs suffering and even perpetuates it. It's the negative drama extenuating beyond basic survival. It compares, overthinks and takes everything personal. (why me) Awakening is seeing through this problematic identity. Obviously there are still very difficult situations, financial and life stressor's that arise, but the difference is incomparable when nobody is resisting these circumstances. It becomes more like temporary inconveniences. Old habitual characteristics can still arise for a while, but they are usually short lived because nothing is identifying with or as that. Nobody left hanging on. The self-illusion/ego/me would be that which would attempt to identify and take ownership of these realizations...... as the "one who awakened" (spiritual ego)

What you're not taking into account is, if there's no one left identifying as that, who would suffer?

But then of course after a while it can become satisfied of being unsatisfied with being satisfied of being unsatisfied

It will eventually become unsatisfied with being satisfied with being unsatisfied

I would recommend not trying to point out what you understand to people unless they specifically ask you your perspective. It can come off as desperate and needy. Instead, just enjoy life and use what you understand to help bring more love and joy into people's lives. This will influence people to understand you way more than anything else guaranteed. Find someone who loves you back and spread it like wildfire

Oh yeah, I believe it. With me things usually felt slow and meticulous, but some things seemed very quick also. In 2015 I changed a lot of things in my life. I started eating very clean and healthy, meditating almost daily, doing yoga and mindfulness practice/positive affirmations. I thought I was awesome and I felt awesome. My mind was very clear and calm especially from the meditation. Eventually though everything become kind of ordinary and my career really hadn't advanced comparatively to my peers. I started really judging myself negatively. It was almost like an ego backlash or something. It was such a radical shift in perspective that I started investigating closely what was the cause. Self introspection can be very revealing. The ego/self illusion never becomes satisfied. Just that recognition alone can be seemingly profound.

Empty and full It doesn't attempt to make logical sense Reality isn't concerned with human made concepts like "true nature" or "truth" It's exactly what it is without any drama or hesitation

It's based on realizing that identification was a misunderstanding. Similar to realizing Santa Claus isn't real, nothing actually changes because he was never real, but simultaneously it seems different without the belief in him. And there are still memories of how it felt when there was a belief in him. There isn't a real self tangled with an illusory self........there just isn't a self altogether. Nobody gets untangled. And that can feel ordinary and simultaneously terrifying or anything in-between. Like free floating.

A misunderstood test that needed to be taken to understand.

I never mean anything exactly. I hear you!!

It's not a forgetting or detaching either way. It's clearly understanding that it was Never Real from day one. The identification quickly/slowly ends due to that clear understanding. The energy is just no longer supplied to it. But there is still the memories of how it was prior. And that character can still be used sort a speak.

I get that impression also.....good call!! 😃

Luckily it's already everything, so "you" can't miss it!

I get what you mean. I don't know how it feels for him. I think his main message is "you are not the conditioned mind/ego, you are universal consciousness". But he talks about universal consciousness in a very impersonal manner....sooo 🤷‍♂️ I understand what he is saying because that same feeling happened here temporarily, but for me it just felt like a subtle attempt of ego/self identification. That feeling fell away quickly.

Check out from 10:30 ET explains how sneaky and low key this new ego identification can be. He is highly underrated imo.
