VeganAwake

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!!

By not thinking and just doing what comes natural and spontaneous.

Do you feel like this guy? ❤

In reality otherwise known as THIS, everything is already perfect, always has been and always will be. There's nothing to seek, nothing to achieve. Everything is already 100% perfectly complete and always has been. The illusion of the separate limited lacking self otherwise known as Maya or the dream creates constant feelings of need and incompleteness. You are seeking what you already are, so you will never find the answer. It's like looking for for your glasses that are on top of your head. This is what is described as running on the hamster wheel. It's completeness seeking completeness or Perfection seeking to be perfect... it makes no sense ?. The ego will keep telling you, if you can just get this job promotion and the new car with a hot girlfriend you will have everything you ever wanted and feel complete...Or if you can just find that last piece of sacred Egyptian knowledge you will have found the key to open the gateless gate to enlightenment. You see the constant seeking perpetuates the belief that you are incomplete and it will keep you running on this hamster wheel for your whole life. The ego knows that if you discover this, it will be the end of it, so it does everything it can to avoid hearing this deep TRUTH!! The ego is only real until it's realized it is an illusion... Basically your mind is being ran by something that isn't even real what a trip right....hehe Time to wake up and get off the hamster wheel ...I love you guys too much to allow something that doesn't exist to control you lol....❤ The question is do you have eyes to see and ears to hear? ❤ ❤ ❤

Any meditation or do nothing practice is great at disrupting the constant Whirlwind of monkey chatter in the mind. I recommend closing the eyes. Do not focus on anything but do not resist anything as well... just let a thought appear, notice it and let it fall away. What helped me was a lot of short periods of meditation throughout the day as opposed to just one Long session in the evening or morning. Before one of my big realizations, I was doing 2 or 3 10-minute meditation sessions throughout the day in the bathroom stall at work. And then about 20 minutes at the end of the day. I told them I had irritable bowel syndrome(ibs) I didn't care whether they disliked my long bathroom breaks are not haha...

@Deanna Where else could you be there's only THIS. There are no should or should not's ...I would recommend following your heart ❤ Or maybe even a relationship isn't the best idea for you right now... so many options in the absolute ?

Remember everyone else is you also.. there is only THIS and it's absolutely perfect, there's no need to try to fix anything. If they come to you help them... let it be natural. Within the Absolute there is the dreamers and there is the awakened but it's all happening within the Absolute...it's all within THIS...its perfection ❤
