VeganAwake

Love that ? Yeah although I wouldn't describe it as something learned. Rather its a cessation or clear recognition that there never was a real individual experiencing satisfaction or dissatisfaction in the first place. Satisfied & Unsatisfied feelings still arise but they are no longer arising for a someone......so in that sense it feels completely satisfactory ? ❤

There seems to be a someone thinking thoughts in accordance with his or her societal conditioning. But don't buy into it because nothing is actually happening in reality! ❤

Right, and notice it's definitely more than just an idea, it's an energetic experience which builds upon itself from a young age. The amount of energy that's put into upholding this self construct isn't even fully realized until it collapses/recognized as having never been. Energy can then move through the body with ease & without getting caught up on the very sticky 'sense of self'. ❤

Yes it can feel extremely frustrating for the 'sense of self' that so desperately wants to experience awakening. LOOK closely at this 'self construct' that wants to have an awakening or have its awakening validated. - What is it? - What is it made of? - Does it actually exist?

The difficulty in explaining a no self awakening is that when it occurs, the experiencer of said awakening (YOU) is recognized to have NEVER been real. There is still a body with its senses but it's completely empty of the 'I' 'I' is realized to have been a mere assumption or misunderstanding often referred to as "the illusion of self" There never was a real you and absolutely nothing mattered/matters. It's freedom from & for nobody! ❤

It will be nothing just as before the body was born. A temporary appearance/experience and then collapses back into nothing. Nobody wants to hear that....well maybe some haha And in that sense, nothing actually matters. ❤

I know what you mean. Yes you have to take care of your mental and physical well being so you can continue helping others. It that sense everything is a win win situation. ❤

Interesting...sounds like spiritual bondage. I remember feeling like I needed to uphold this big spiritual persona as a happy and always calm spiritual dude. The worst was the guilt, like if I forgot to do something or said something out of line with my spiritual beliefs I would feel so guilty and unspiritual afterwards. What a ride! ❤

Yep, there is no escaping the appearance of having responsibilities within conditioned society, and there are plenty of consequences for not upholding them.

Nobody knows... So be nobody!! ❤

I would tell you first and foremost that there's nothing right or wrong with getting irritated and being mean. Recognizing that clearly can diminish guilt or suffering sometimes but not always. There's just not a one method fits all approach to it. You could try to start a new habit of recognizing early the feelings of irritation when they start to arise and do breathing exercises. Make up an excuse that you have a doctor's appointment that you forgot about when you start feeling irritated during a conversation. Pretend you got a phone call. Don't talk to morons. Don't speak or give advice when you feel irritated and mad. Keep a note in your pocket that you pull out when you feel irritated that says: "Calm the fuk down barna, it's not that serious". Whatever method you choose try to make it creative and fun if possible. ❤

The universe looks like a runaway train without a driver to me.

Yeah that's a great way of saying it. It's hilarious when people say or believe they can know Infinity. I want to say: "yo you don't even know what your neighbor had for lunch today, how in bloody christ do you think you can know that which has no parameters. Hahaha literally the definition of egoic delusions of grandeur. ❤

Love ya more.

I love how we can always agree to disagree either way. Now that's unconditional love. ❤

Exactly nobody wakes up dummy.... I've been explaining this to you for like 2 years. ?

I get what your saying. Here it's recognized that responsibilities are just concepts within the dream story where meaning, purpose & value feel real and important. Here, It just doesn't feel like love has anything to do with helping people It feels more instinctual than anything else.

Regardless of popular belief, awakening has nothing to do with recognizing your true nature as the higher self or any of those silly identification games. Rest assured that if it feels like you have a new identity or have recognized your true identity, awakening has not occurred. Those would still be symptoms of the ego otherwise known as spiritual ego taking on just another illusory identity to keep in control. True awakening has no identification games attached. The ego's tactics are clearly seen through and there is nothing left that could attempt to identify as this or that. It's the end of any kind of identification whatsoever. And it's not that a someone or something has become empty, it's the recognition that there never was anyone experiencing reality to begin with, it was an illusion of self identity. Nobody becomes enlightened! It's complete freedom BUT for no one! ❤

@Barna It seems like most people just want an outlet for someone to listen to them. We keep things bottled up because we are afraid of being judged. They want a judgment free outlet. Most people aren't really interested in lifestyle changes because that feels difficult and threatening to their self-identity. (Which it can be) A paraplegic therapist in california once told me sometimes the best thing to do is just listen and then if it feels like someone is having real difficulties in a certain area simply ask them "Would you like me to try and help you with this". Because that way you're empowering them to make the decision and they don't feel like anything is being pushed on them. Anyways it's all very interesting, thanks for the video share also. ❤

Yeah there's no point to anything which can feel very threatening to an individual that thrives on meaning, purpose & value. Freedom in disguise. ❤
