@Nahm..I know we have are silly Alfa male squabbles brother but I want you to know no matter what... you're appreciated and I have nothing but unconditional love for you always ❤

Realize who you are not: In this step we will be coming to the realization that No thing you were ever told about yourself, believed yourself to be or labeled yourself as, is the True Self. You will realize that these labels you've allowed yourself to believe are nothing more than opinions, ideas and perceptions and are not your True Self in any way whatsoever. For example: You might think you are Tommy Sanchez that works at the marijuana dispensary on 12th street in Rio De Janeiro Brazil. You have low self-esteem and your boss is constantly telling you, you are too slow and have poor work ethic. You also feel like you are too shy, judgemental, angry, abusive, pushy, and critical towards certain employees. You also believe you are nervous, stubborn and rude. Notice that all these layers of labels are simply ideas, perceptions, beliefs that you have allowed yourself to be conditioned with since you were a child, they are not real. One person might describe you as pushy and irritating and the next might say you were the friendliest employee that has ever served them. See it's just a bunch of opinions and perceptions. Illusions of words. Your name Tommy Sanchez is just a bunch of letters put together to make a distinct sound. None of these labels, letters and words are who you Truly Are. If you worked in the Bahamas they might think you were the fastest employee ever and would have a whole different group of perceptions to label you as. See, the "l" you believe yourself to be, are simply perceptions ideas and beliefs. Not you Not True. Drop the Layers and Labels: Next you are going to draw a diagram like the one provided and label it with all the negative words you believe about yourself. Try to do it on a big piece of paper and at least have 15 labels or more. When you are finished labeling you are going to imagine that every label on your diagram is a layer of clothing you are currently wearing. Next as you look at each label on your diagram, imagine you are removing a layer of clothing for each label. Start Shedding The Layers .....take every single layer off and throw it to the side and completely disattach from it. As you cast each layer to the side understand how these labels are just culturally conditioned ideas from your current belief system surrounding you. If instead of Brazil you were born in India or Pakistan you would have a whole different group of labels you would believe about yourself. When you are done shedding the layers, deeply Ponder and look within and ask yourself, if I am not all of these labels and beliefs I thought I was. "What Is Left, What Am I Really Then"? Step 2 will be coming soon ❤ ❤

Here is a short trailer...?

Have you seen this video bro it gives a great description on the ego what it's about and what it feels like to be dropped ❤

"The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite" -- A Course in Miracles ❤

I honestly have nothing but infinite unconditional love for you bro... it's all encompassing ❤

I feel like I'm talking to a heavily medicated insane hippie with amnesia... Every day he starts over ?

I think you have cabin fever bud... drop down and give me a hundred push-ups ... let's go move it love muffin ❤

Haha.... your prescriptive practices are my recognition and turning within. But of course they're just words and don't really mean anything ?

Bud do you realize you act like you understand what I went through without even knowing me... I experienced all kinds of ego backlash...almost left my family and flew to Europe at one point which would have got me kicked out of the Navy and thrown in the brig... Yes my wife literally almost divorced me until she watched a video on some of the negative effects of Awakening. I really just don't know why you act like you know the situation when you have no idea. All I'm saying is you preach this big love agenda but seem to be very blind in a lot of important areas. Just letting you know I'm not trying to be a jerk ❤

Some of you were asking me a few questions about what I was pondering prior to Awakening.... The self not being real became clearer and clearer as I pondered these things in the above post.

Negatively labeling... Shooting the messenger... Tossing the baby out with the bathwater...

Your glass is already full so I have nowhere to put the information... This thing requires an emptying of the glass first...?

Existence appears to be a never-ending cycle of swallowing itself and defecating itself back out... A never ending energy spiral sort of speak... It's mind-blowing wild crazy incredible... What's even more startling is the individual that assigns meaning to this crazy fiasco appears to be an illusion. What an Excellent Adventure ?

I'm really not trying to be a know-it-all or validate my own experience I'm just trying to point to something that was deeply experienced... It can't be put into words because language is dualistic in nature... I honestly am trying my best to speak to people respectfully but everyone seems to have their own idea about what it is... It's quite literally the opposite of what everybody's doing here and that's why it's so hard to understand... It's a falling away of the entire egoic self agenda and structure which ties you to social conditioning.... I'm not saying nobody else here has experienced it but it's a falling away not a gaining of any kind of experience. My best attempt to explain this is it feels like the complete Falling Away of everything you thought was real and true... The me is recognized to be completely illusory... it's like jumping out of the body and diving into the abyss of Unknowing with a piece of fishing string tied to your pinky toe so you can make it back up if possible. It's a surrender and having faith that whatever is happening was meant to happen. It's to die before you die.. Nobody no one can enter the gateless gate so be nobody. There is an Apparent disentangling from social conditioning and what I like to call a snapping out of The Matrix. What resurfaces can't really be put into words because although it feels like nothing has changed it's simultaneously a radical transformation. The egoic agenda is not driving the machine any longer... there is still an essence of the person... But the goals the agendas are all dropped because it's recognized everything is right where it needs to be.

I'm not angry bud thanks for thinking of me... I'm watching my cat work up a hairball right now it's quite funny ?

Bud... an important step in these kind of explorations is understanding what Enlightenment Awakening Liberation actually mean An apparent individual can probably have hundreds if not thousands of non-dual mystical experiences that seem great ...but when they're over The ME returns and the egoic self agenda resumes as normal... These can be considered non-dual mystical experiences or glimpses ...they have nothing to do with real Spiritual Enlightenment Awakening or Liberation in any way at all. If the ME has not been recognized to be an illusion Awakening has not occurred... I can probably reference or show you 50 or more sources to validate what I'm talking about... just in case you were wondering

The glass needs to be empty... The belief of what Enlightenment is will block it from being recognized... I had cross-referenced several dozen resources and spiritual teachers to make sure what was being experienced by no one was authentic. I literally didn't know what was happening because the apparent me had been completely seen through.

You're racist low is my godliness high... me and Grandma are having martinis in Heaven ?

I wasn't calling you a dummy BTW and no, most likely I wouldn't poison his family for killing my mother but it truly is fair game after Awakening.. belief systems are N/A.
