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 ?

There is no one hanging on to let go... Try not to perpetuate the illusion of the false self just simply see it doesn't exist in reality. ❤

This sense of "I" is going to be in for a big letdown. When it comes to Awakening there isn't anything here for the sense of "I"... Remember, the "I" doesn't awaken...the sense of "I" is recognized to be an illusion. Simultaneously it's recognized that the sense of "I" never existed in the first place. Hence why it's hard to point at something that never existed yet everyone is identified with. When Awakening occurs there isn't some extravagant light show, it's simply shrugged off like: huh weird I was identified as something that never existed... how silly That's why it's described as "The end of suffering". It's recognized that the sufferer never existed in the first place... it was just a mistaken identity. Every experience is different so I'm really only speaking from a gradual enlightenment experience point of view. I'm sure an instantaneous Awakening feels much different. ❤

There isn't one. That's the illusion or Maya. ❤ Go ahead and try to find yourself. Are you residing in your arm are you residing in your leg are you residing in your head are you residing in your stomach or your chest. Take a look..?

❤

The only thing happening is THIS ❤ Any belief in a separate perspective is an illusion. Over 7 billion minds are creating an experience of separateness, but that's illusory....THIS is still the only thing happening ❤

It's Paradise its Freedom it's THIS!!
