VeganAwake

First you have to be conditioned enough to believe that evil is even real for starters......it often looks like an imaginary framework in your belief system that says something is "evil" and another something isn’t (opposite) Then you go about your life judging everything from this imaginary framework thus creating what is often referred to as the Dream Story or Matrix. (Doesn't just include so-called evil) Once there is a conditioned belief system in place, the endless stories begin. Part of Awakening is recognizing this within one's own psyche! Hell, someone could actually make a good argument that the most loving action would be to annihilate humanity completely, so nobody else has to suffer ever again! Everything is actually just neutral or meaningless until a conditioned belief system starts judging it! ❤️

I think spirituality is a fear based endeavor for most people. Deep down they are searching for a way to escape their current reality and escape death in the future. If some guru tells them what they want to hear, it comforts them and gives them hope! Here it was about finding the Truth. I wanted to know the Truth about everything. I felt like I would be willing to die for the Truth. I think fake spirituality is getting coddled and real spirituality is Truth seeking! ❤️

Sure bub.......evaluate away! 👍

I hear ya brother! It's not an exciting communication! Love ya as well! ❤️

Spirituality doesn't have framework. The illusion of spiritual progress within a framework is probably comforting for certain people. I understand what you are trying to accomplish......good on you sir! 🫶 💞

It ends up being a personal opinion really. What constitutes spirituality for one, may not for another and vice versa! Take for example extreme sports(sky diving, base jumping etc..)and near death experiences while doing them. These events could be described as very spiritual for the people doing them although not really traditional spiritual practices. Someone could get more from 3 months of meditation without a goal than from another doing 2 years of strict disciplined Yogi tai chi. Different strokes for different folks! ❤️

1 million hours = 114 years 😬 Damn, he is serious!

Very much like a tumbleweed 🥰

Nothing gets to experience infinity so therfore nothing is actually infinite. No experiencer = No infinity The word infinity and what it attempts to point out, is completely meaningless.

If your imaginary friend thought it was God, would you trust it's judgment?

But if that which believes it's everything/god isn't real, how can that conclusion be trusted? ❤️

Awakening is more like a recognition than a deconstruction. It's not a denial. Look closely at this "sense of self". What is it made of? Write down all its characteristics. Stay neutral and just examine it closely 👀 ❤️

@Princess Arabia At least 1 illusion hears ya girl 🤣

@Princess Arabia This nobody over here understands what that nobody is saying over there 😉

Nobody gets anywhere! When the conditioned mind is free from always desiring/needing something else.......it's never satisfied........that's the suffering! When the truth becomes more important than anything else in existence, including happiness or security in belief systems/afterlife....truths naturally begin to surface or reveal themselves! Truth may not be what the conditioned character wants to hear! You will never be satisfied until you dig dig dig and come to your own conclusions. Nothing can replace this....... ❤️

@James123 There isn't a real burden. The self attempting to become free from burden, IS THE BURDEN! It's never satisfied. 👀 👀 👀 There's no formula or awakening........it's just 👀 👀 👀 ing ❤️

Not requiring fulfillment, ends up being the fulfillment essentially 😉

The sense of self is never fulfilled. It always needs more. Notice it! It ends up being the fulfillment longed for by nobody. ❤️

“uneasy is the head that wears a crown”

The difference ends up being indifferent. The insight ends up being, there isn't one. The awakening ends up being, there isn't anyone to wake up. The freedom ends up being, all there is. But for no one. 😉 ❤️

The body just reacts and seemingly makes decisions. The self illusion is that which seemingly takes ownership & believes it's the reactor and decision maker.....the puppet master! There's no free will because there isn't a "you" in the body doing ANYTHING. ❤️

There's nothing missing ladies and gentlemen.........what the hell is everyone looking for? You can't fool me though......everyone just needs a friend to sympathize ❤️

It doesn't actually form because its not really there, but it seems to start at a young age of 3 or 4. Adults and parents tell you who you are and what is expected of you and so on. A self image is slowly created over time and becomes very important very quickly. Experiences, memories, thoughts, things you are told and believe, things you learn, your surroundings, reflections in the mirror etc etc........these all assist in creating that illusory self image. An unreal product of its surroundings, but seems completely real and solid usually. Even if the self image doesn't feel that real or solid, once it's threatened or pushed to far.....it comes out of the woodwork quickly. It layers, morphs and changes also like different versions of the same self-illusion. ❤️

I know what you mean. Nothing actually drops away and it's not like forgetting who you were or something. It's actually clear how the illusion of self is formed and maintained. Energy is no longer given to it and it begins to dissolve. At some point, it can just become obvious that the self construct isn't really there. Psychedelics/meditation or not. It's kind of like realizing Santa Claus isn't real. Once it's seen clearly, not much energy goes into upholding the Santa belief 😉 ❤️
