VeganAwake

It is definitely a radical message...but for no one. ?

Hi, I'm not familiar with anything higher than turquoise... but either way I would say his center of gravity is a high turquoise... What do you think? ❤ His message is actually pretty rare but I found a few other people describing the same non-dual message.

Walk the middle path....❤ Stay grounded and open-minded simultaneously. It's a paradox because you can still spend some time on the self, while still being aware its an illusion. It's okay to make the station wagon a little more comfortable... just don't try to turn it into a Rolls-Royce because it isn't yours...?

There isn't necessarily anything wrong with enjoying material possessions... money is neutral in fact People will judge their self worth according to material possessions they have acquired. it's my car it's my motorcycle it's my house.... my my my me me me... When we can be grateful for what we have in any current situation...that's peace... if we have nice things great if not oh well ❤ We judge situations on how they affect the separate me character.. If we weren't there life would still be going on... We place an overlay over reality and say if it's good for me it's good if it's bad for me it's bad according to our personal preferences.

Yes beginner's mind love that ❤

@Spaceofawareness ❤

Whatever happens just happens there's no Rhyme or Reason to anything... It just simply is... Indescribable and incomprehensible... Total freedom ❤ or imprisonment just depends on how you view it

I mean we're Boundless Energy manifesting as nothing and everything it doesn't get much weirder than that... nothing really surprises me anymore ? ?

❤ Some kind of Boundless Energy with pure potential manifesting as nothing and everything ? It would be a lie to say this understands it over here haha.. It's incomprehensible to this mind. ❤

I think what Ralston is pointing to is dropping or emptying your mind completely of all concepts and ideas of Awakening work. "The biggest obstacle to Discovery is not ignorance, it's the illusion of knowledge" If you think you already know the answer you won't be radically open-minded to accept the TRUTH. Its an unknowing... Viewing everything with childlike eyes and wonder.

We have forgotten who we are.... this forgetting is Maya (illusion of the self) We feel separate and incomplete... we seek for something outside of our selves to complete us, but nothing will ever do it because we are already complete. We're trying to fix something that was never broke. We run on the hamster wheel endlessly... We're trying to integrate something that was never separated. "The separation never occurred" - A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

Yes....I know what your saying. There is no one way and everyone is different...❤ Some people give up the seeking and turn within... Some people finally run into the right spiritual teacher after 20 years and they wake them up. Some people turn seeking into an identity and it can perpetuate the self illusion. Contradictions are common in the spiritual community... because there are Different Strokes for different illusory folks ...? Osho took care to contradict himself with everything he said. I'm not trying to confuse anyone I'm just asking to trust me. ❤ Sometimes The Chronic seeking can hide what was never hidden. If something isn't working there's no hurt and mixing it up a bit.... You will not lose progress by simply changing things up... Remember it's not a gaining it's a crumbling away. ❤ Not saying practices do not help with psychological issues and calming the body mind... spiritual progress can look like a lot of different things....I know people that have been meditating and doing yoga and eating vegan diet for 20 years.

I think a lot of it has to do with how attached one is to the sense of self (illusion) I didn't mean to tell someone their enlightened and wait around to see what happens lol..that's funny.. I meant to teach someone how to effectively see the sense of self is an illusion and to shed these layers, untangle from social conditioning and snap out of The Matrix.

Recognizing that Enlightenment is not something attained or found in the future. Also recognizing it's not a gaining of knowledge, but a falling away of the illusory self. Also the recognition that spiritual practices can actually perpetuate the belief of the illusory separate self and delay this falling away process. ❤

Hi, There is nothing outside of THIS. You're always present... where else could you be. Have you ever experienced anything outside of THIS? Everything happens within this non-dual Oneness and it's what's happening / THIS! If your separate self temporarily takes over and runs the show it's what's happening within THIS. One way isn't better than the other although it seems that way at first. There is no right or wrong, Awakening is either something that happens or does not.. The more you starve off this separate self the easier it becomes to stay conscious almost all the time. It seemed to take me about a year and a half to start seeing some major progress...❤ Hope this helps ?

There's no point purpose meaning or value to anything but why not study and learn...

I love how well he describes everything. It's like he took a snapshot of my own experience ❤

Very well said... yes transcending is just an expression used to describe the disidentification. As far as the ego not existing it's kind of hard to explain... After Awakening occurred here it was simultaneously recognized there was never a ME here to identify with anything... literally nothing identifying as someone... it's completely radical and incomprehensible ❤

Affirmations work well... " I love myself exactly the way I am" 30 times a day in the mirror

❤

"The full awareness of the Atonement, then, is the recognition that the separation never occurred. The ego cannot prevail against this because it is an explicit statement that the ego never occurred" - ACIM

Its the same thing ?

J. Krishnamurti said, “It is no measure of one’s health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Identification with the egoic mind is the sickness and Samadhi is the cure. The saints, sages and awakened beings throughout history have all learned the wisdom of self-surrender. How is it possible to realize the true self? When you peer through the veil of Maya, and let go of the illusory self, what is left?

I am liberated... Energy within the body makes you feel like a separate individual... you are identifying with that energy as a separate ME... You are a part of everything, the separation never occurred... You are seeking completion within completion and you'll never find what you're seeking because you already have it.. Enlightenment is simply recognizing there was never anything missing.. What you are seeking is the end of seeking ? You're seeking wholeness within wholeness. Your searching for THIS and its already here... this is Paradise this is perfection this is enlightenment... It's hopeless ....in fact as long as you believe you are a separate individual apart from everything else, you will continue to seek for the rest of your life... running on the hamster wheel. There is nothing that needs to happen... the Kingdom of Heaven is THIS... there's nothing else you will find.. Enlightenment is an unknowing process....its recognizing that we don't know what anything is.... it's looking at the world with childlike eyes again.... but for the first time ❤
