VeganAwake

Recognize the sense of "ME" residing in the body is an illusion. Turn within and try to find where your located in the body itself. Who are you, where are you, what makes up the ME. Just check it out..

Pure simple truth..?

You don't even exist what are you practicing ❤ ?

Just working for the government alone is a wild ride but I've also traveled all over the world and experienced a lot of cool things. I've been to Kuwait Honduras Afghanistan Dubai Lebanon Italy Greece Spain Japan Ireland. We're a small group that does construction so we don't worry about the enemy too much because we usually have a marine task force that protects us. My spirituality came upon from going vegan overnight. I realized the truth was right under my nose and it was probably the same about spirituality God Etc... I was a die-hard Seeker that didn't stop for 2 years straight... I was reading 7 or 8 spiritual books and doing meditation every single day I would even do it on my training exercises in the porta potty it was my top priority. At the time I didn't even know what was happening. About a year and a half ago I experienced a deep Awakening where I realized there wasn't a ME.. After that I untangled from social conditioning and snapped out of The Matrix. I have suffered a lot as my father was very verbally abusive and I don't really like the military but I just forced myself to stay in for the retirement money lol... I'm sure both had something to do with my Awakening. I would consider myself a truth-seeker I can spot the truth from a mile away I don't know why I've just always been good at it. Here is a video that describes almost my exact experience... it explained everything I was confused about ❤ I agree I think my circumstances are pretty rare but it's the absolute ?

I don't mind ? They Don't Really accommodate but there are plenty of vegetarian options and it seems to be getting better every year. Most people don't talk about their spirituality at work but I've talked to several military chaplains and counselors while being in the military. They're supportive for the most part as long as you don't act like you're going crazy haha... Most people I work with realize I think outside the box and look at things a lot different than most.. Yes I would recommend the Air Force Coast Guard or navy if you're avoiding combat. There will always be a risk in the military in general but it's much less in those services. Honestly the military is a wild ride I would recommend it to anybody for at least one tour...

@LfcCharlie4 In my experience bro the higher self is just another version of the lower self. The thing is, there is still a ME... a separate sense of self that claims its just oneness. Both of these senses of self can be completely dropped it's a trip. You turn your head when someone calls your name because that's the conditioned body mind just reacting... it doesn't mean there is a ME inside of that body. Let me know if you understand what I'm talking about it's pretty radical ❤ There literally is no one here...lol It's just THIS!! No purpose no meaning just THIS....hahaha It's too radical ?

A good example is when the separate sense of self falls away, its simultaneously realized it never existed in the first place. It was an illusion that seemed to be real. This illusion is like an overlay placed over the top of reality. It makes everything appear a certain way, but once the overlay(veil) is removed, THIS is waiting with open arms, and its recognized there was never not THIS, it was just a flimsy overlay clouding up Paradise ? The separation never occurred... It's always only been THIS and its Absolute Freedom. ❤ There is no purpose and meaning to anything, and there doesn't need to be... It's discovered that only an illusory lacking separate self needs meaning and purpose and constantly seeks to feel complete. This illusory sense of self never finds what its looking for because its perfection seeking perfection within perfection... (running on the hamster wheel). There is no separate self... Paradise is waiting...get off the hamster wheel...time to awaken the kingdom of heaven is at hand.❤

Correct... you are on track ?

This topic cracks me up so much because it's so easy to understand but difficult at the same time ❤ The separation from oneness never occurred it was an illusion. Nonduality is all there ever has been and ever will be. If Oneness is already the case, twoness could never be... The ten thousand waves in the ocean were never something apart from the ocean. So you could say they're included but that doesn't make sense because they were never apart. The apartness is the illusion.... Duality is an illusion...❤

Only to the mind are there different degrees of Awakening, states of consciousness and amounts of delusions. Meanwhile THIS is is right in front of you.... Perfection at hand and unnoticed. It's a radical realization❤

You're more than welcome to stay in the dream as a ME...❤ There is nothing at all wrong with it. You are already complete, THIS is the treasure you are seeking... the adventure is unknowing!!

❤

It was also a pretty serious problem in the Navy back in 2009 to 2013...it seemed to die after that ?

The constant seeking and still feeling unfulfilled is what causes the suffering. The recognition that you were always complete ends the suffering..

There was never a separation(illusion) nor is there a purpose. Everything is already in Harmony and effortlessly flowing you just do not see it ❤

Yes I've been in since 9/11 happend...active duty. 2022 is when I'm scheduled to retire. It's pretty wild to wake up after 17 and a half years in service lol

Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage Ramana Maharshi

It's even worse than that unfortunately... enlightenment is what is already the case. ❤ The Mind loves to create roadblocks and hurdles and convince you awakening is just around the next Corner just keep going( running on the hamster wheel)... the problem is THIS is already the TRUTH... so you never find it because it's already what IS. But don't take my word for it ..you can read this info from all the great Masters... they just use different words to explain the same recognition. ❤

Try to keep some supportive people around you... I almost took a flight to India after serving 18 of a 20-year career in the US Navy... If I would have went through with it and they found me they would have threw me in the brig not to mention my wife and kids would have been pissed/hurt/wtf...LOL I'm still having problems at work but they realize I went through an Awakening and are working with me.. it helped I got a clinical psychologist to back me up on what I was saying... apparently California has some cool psychologist. ❤

When the bottom of the bucket falls out, it never again holds water. When Consciousness wakes up to itself, it's realized the illusion never existed. Wakefulness could not fall back asleep because it's recognized the dream never existed in the first place.❤ I suppose one could get conked on the head hard enough though... but even then there would still be a good chance of that person recognizing the truth again...

He taught Jim Newman also words of unknowing ❤

Freedom is the word to describe THIS.... it simply includes everything... you can call it love or banana sandwich, but to me it's all-encompassing There simply is no purpose or meaning... it is just THIS... ❤

This is where it gets a little difficult to explain: The belief that there is a separate individual that is trying to attain Enlightenment is the illusion itself. There will not be a "ME" that wakes up. Consciousness recognizes there was never a ME to begin with. It is a radical recognition and it does eliminate suffering of the illusory individual and ends the constant seeking.❤ What's more important is realizing THIS is already perfection. Whether you are believing in a separate individual or not, its perfect in every way...its THIS!!! ❤ ?

Hehe this was kind of funny...❤ Sorry ?
