@nuwu what

Not at all what I was saying.

A devil could be tricking you into thinking you actually give a shit about any of this - that there is any reality whatsoever to your logic - that there is any value or need for holding these thoughts.

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."

Have you ever done Kriya yoga? It has been super helpful for me. Kriya, dreamboard + simply expressing by talking with someone or writing it down on paper. Perhaps bring it all down from spiritual ideas and goals. Try Maha Mudra + Kriya Pranayama every day. Don't do it for spiritual ideals, awakening or even growth. Do it simply for feeling better in your body and mind. Especially Maha Mudra could be helpful.

I don't mean what it is in a theoretical, conceptual, political, academic or philosophical way. I mean what it is in the most fundamental way, in everyday life, in direct experience, as something that cannot be misunderstood? I'm looking for something obvious that connects the dots. What is the very core of feminism?

It's billions of 1s and 0s which your computer translates via certain mechanics for pixels on the screen to show images. Internet is electromagnetic radiation (light) sending those binary codes. In the computer, the code "moves" as electrons. It's all just binary codes that are intelligently processed though all kinds of mathemathical equations and shit like that. It's crazy. I was completely blown away when I actually studied how a computer works for the first time. Almost had an existential crisis.

I've heard this a billion times but this is the first time I truly heard it. Oh my god. Everything is possible. Limitless imagination.

So many times I've heard about "surrendering to God", "giving up the mind for Christ", "devotion to Self/guru" etc. All these seem to point to the same thing, as if one could choose to listen/act either "through ego" or the True Self. But how do you know what is in accorance of the True Self and what is not? How do you know which thoughts/actions are to be followed? How do you identify the "right direction"? Sometimes I feel like life is some IKEA furniture without assembly instructions. Sure, I could go and read all the spiritual texts. But that would still depend on belief, not direct experience. And how could I know which teachings are true and not full of shit? As I'm writing this, I'm sensing some kind of a "guidance" or direction. But I can't really hear it. Can't get a good look at it.

What if there is no need for science, or proof? Imagine two minds merging into one another in such depth that there is literally nothing to prove, nothing left uncertain. The communication is so direct, so obvious, that there is literally no room for doubt. You know the truthness of it simply because you are it - you know already it is the case, because you are the unified mind. Asking a scientific proof for telepathy is the same as asking scientific proof for the thought in your mind at this very moment. What do you need science for? It's right there! It is self-evident.

It just hit me: what I'm actually asking is simply: "what is true?" That's basically the same as "what is spirituality?" "What is the path?" For fuck's sake. All these books and videos and I still don't know what "spirituality" is!

Is it the demon or your own mind creating these undesired feelings?

This is poor advice. Leo is great, but his work alone is not suitable for serious mental health problems. I talk from direct experience. @7thLetter I am currently working with a transpersonal therapist. Simply expressing feelings and thoughts is very helpful, especially when you do it with a therapist. It gives you new perspectives, new ideas, a better grasp on what's going on. Just find a therapist you truly resonate with.

Not only that, but also the richest country in the history of mankind. Of course it can be afforded. The problem is lobbying.

For me, very key. I suppose for @Nahm and @mandyjw too. A meditation practice, simply recognizing how a thought feels and focusing on whatever feels even a little bit better is quite a magic show. Try it for yourself.

I don't know about gurus, but good friends are those who: - Help you to go where you want to go - Does not plant their ideals and goals in you - Makes you feel better

Yes.

@Consilience Thank you ?✨ I sense something very familiar and friendly in you. I like it.

@Consilience A bit off-topic, but what advice would you give someone who is having some trouble with fearful thoughts about awakening, mystical states, going insane, etc? What would you say to someone who has had a traumatizing trip? Someone who has just began to discover the mystical nature in everyday life, and is a bit anxious about it?

If you give good advice, if your words resonate, if people find your message valuable, they will come to you. That has nothing to do with being a teacher. Just express what you want, how you want. You are your own student/teacher.

I just had a new thought: I love my fear! And it feels strangely good! For so long I thought my fear was a problem, like a fault in me. No more! Why fight it? Who not allow it, love it, be "on board" with it? Of course. Fear is simply the boundary that makes me who I am. And I love myself. So it feels good to love and allow the fear. I'm just loving and allowing myself! Weirdly enough, now the fear seems to be slowly washing away. It is let go without a fight.

Maybe it has been the good aliens pulling the strings all along!

Wear what makes you feel like the hottest shit in this world. Wear what YOU like. Then, just radiate that superman self-love and confidence.

I took the first dose (Pfizer) in june, the second (Moderna) two weeks ago. The first dose had no side-effects. The second, 38°C fever and muscle ache. It lasted about 24 hours. Been feeling great, crazy insights, joy, love, well-being. Just generally more conscious.
