India is currently going through a political crises. The diverse country is being divided into Hindus, Muslims, and other religious minority groups. The current ruling party is influencing the hindu community to turn India into a Hindu nation by brainwashing people into thinking that 30% of Indian population that falls under the religious minority groups, especially muslims are targeting survivability of 70% hindu population. There is also an ethnic underpinning to this strategy, the caste is also being leveraged to create difference - where hindus are subdividing into true hindus and false hindus. The government has bribed media and have started to spread religious propaganda and hate between hindus and muslims. Currently India stands at 161th place out of 180 in free press index. The government initially promised 20 million employments each year since 2014, which never happened and government institutions have been privatised. However, the public has started to understand the game that the current ruling party is playing. They are stepping up against this corruption and looting of the nation.

Enlightenment does not end thought. Thought is dependent on experience and takes shape based on your perspective. If you experience separation, thought thinks separately. If you experience unity, love, thought thinks in those qualities. But it all starts at the heart level - feel love, love directs thought. PS: You cannot think your way to perspective.

Thank You. I will ask this question when difficult moments arise.

A simple experiment or inquiry technique I would like to share with you all: When in midst of your experience, when the mind seems to categorize or judge things, ask a simple question, "where is love in this experience?" Then feel the shift in how you perceive the experience, the judgments fall away and there is just the letting be of things as they are, both internal and external.

When you die, the mind dies. With the mind is dead, you return to non-returning

All "what ifs" is the mind projecting its delusions in the future Being in god mode 24/7 is also a delusion of the mind because that state arose and disappeared just like everything else, but the mind continues to stick to past experiences. Investigate what is threatened. Is it the mind? or the Absolute?

The AI is not conscious, consciousness is conscious of the AI.

@Holly Jean Thank you so much for taking the time and responding to my question. Firstly, with the fading away of awakening "experience", there was the pursuit to get it back (it still exists but not as powerful as it did before). What has replaced this drive is the question "what if there was no second awakening experience", leading to alignment and working with the understanding derived from the awakening. Secondly, there are distractions when I sit down to deconstruct my conditioned beliefs and assumptions. Common distractions being swaying away from the process and later realizing that the deconstruction was botched by mental chatter or jumping from one subject to another. Thirdly, I do not have the recognition of emptiness, nothingness, and infinity. What I am working with is the recognition of love, oneness, and bliss. If you would ask me what is reality made of, I would say without a doubt, love. And when there is talk of reality being empty or nothing, it doesn't compute due to the lack of reference experience. So my question is, is it wise to pursue more awakenings, which I don't know how to even go after? Or, work with what I know and live from this space and understanding. But choosing the second path brings the danger or "selfing", which is the activity of separate self arising when I am not aware.

I need some direction on consciousness work. I come from no meditation or yoga background but luckily had an awakening three years ago. Over the years there has been recontextualization of experience and there is automatic character development without much of my consciousness effort. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you, friend. I will remember it.

@Breakingthewall What other options do I have if I have no access to psychedelics? They are banned in my country.

To be fully honest, I do not have the recognition of a non-existing "me". What I am working with is the recognition of "I am everything". While the illusion of the separate self has been seen, it has not been transcended.

Funnily enough, I don't know how to keep working. That's why I am here asking this question about consciousness work. All I really do is deconstruct and recontextualize my current experience. I don't understand meditation, I can only sit quietly and be aware of the ride both sensory and thought-based. But that amounts to nothing. Just yesterday, I slipped into the question of "how Love exists?" and I was so afraid to go further because it was contrary to the realization of existence=love, I snapped out immediately, in fact, I was shaking my head thinking that is not the right question. Thinking about it now, I see how foolish I was.

The funny part is I had nothing to do with the only awakening I had. I was listening to an Alan Watts music mix and trying to understand what he was pointing at and later in the day, it happened out of the blue when I was not even thinking about all these things. Now, I am at a point where I am deconstructing my existing assumptions and beliefs in the context of love and oneness. It's an arduous task but enjoyable and rewarding at the same time. I don't know how to meditate to awaken or have access to psychedelics. All I have is information, which in itself is overwhelming. But to put things into perspective, there is a humungous difference between my understanding and relationship to life than it was three years ago. And it seems to me this is the only thing worth living for.

An ocean without any water.

Falling away of old self-centered activity and consideration for other over self.

That's true.

There is no experience. All experience is -- is how consciousness filters itself through organs and mind.

Voice is human experience. Consciousness can reveal things without voice. To make it simpler, even a person born blind, deaf, and dumb can become enlightened and know the nature of reality without having to put things into words.
