God realization requires that one take full responsibility for manifesting reality. You will need an attitude adjustment to live a good life, it is not possible through living in fear and blaming others. Life is what you make of it, you hold all the cards.

I have been contemplating this for a while now. Why is this the case? Where does the bias come from? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR5FCNYkcPI

Death at its core is an illusion, as is all of reality.

@Recursoinominado I see. To play devil's advocate, not everyone can be assumed to be mentally unstable in regards to their following. Psychedelics have the potential to be useful it seems (for some at least)

Mid Orange and below tends be anti-vax. These are also the same folks who think Covid is either a hoax, or see it as a reason to demonize anyone with Chinese ancestry. They can also put major emphasis into the idea of "elites" led by Bill Gates to destroy libertarian/conservative values they hold so dear by staging the pandemic. They hate science, and Anthony Fauci...probably more so. They don't have a very wide circle of concern essentially.

How do we develop a strong mind? Through enlightenment, leaving material reality means we have to master the mental. Just like trying to get physically strong by hitting the gym, what is a map of "working out" or developing the "fitness" of consciousness?

@BipolarGrowth Enlightenment at its essence is quite simple. It's the realization that you are God. One who comes to this is as enlightened as they'll ever be. The complexity is in the details, to get to this summation. Language only complicates the matter honestly. You must walk the path and put your trust into direct experience.

Can you feel into this? One thing that has been persistent throughout our entire lifetime is a state of watching...of witnessing. Who is the “I” that is watching? It’s extremely easy to answer this question with our human name....who’s backdrop is a human story of one that was born and one that will die. This is not true...the watching is done by the one we cannot point to. Infinity (me, Us, You, God) cannot ever be known materially. Only through the act of watching.

The question itself is relative. Is there there a purpose to spiritual work in the Absolute sense? As I get deeper, it almost feels like the “point” of enlightenment is to eventually let go of the “point” I constructed in the first place...which puts me where I was before I even embarked on the journey. Ugh...strange loop!

God is Aware = God is Watching. We speak the same language ❤️

There first is a knowing of cessation for you to even be able to speak on it. Your knowing of cessation is from your watching of cessation.

Watching is infinite Watching = Infinity = God = You

Haha you are spot on in calling out the primary motive for spiritual egos. Helps to be conscious of it...very sneaky.

@TreyMoney thank you ??

Elegantly spoken with wisdom. Seems the initial goal is to somewhat escape the movie when starting out, but one never escapes it...they just see it AS IS :-)

Indeed

@Thought Art Fair enough, I’ll keep pushing. I guess in a sense, where you are in the world remains (material existence as we know it), how you look at it is what changes (material existence is actually a manifestation of my Mind). I become the Father (just a term) of all aspects of reality. This realization can be defined as the “point” of enlightenment, but it comes with no goals...no purpose.

thanks for providing a response that’s actually constructive . What I was alluding to in the original inquiry is that enlightenment goes full circle. You end up where you were before the journey even began, knowing your True nature has always been eternal. Therefore “purpose” of the spiritual path seems to be a human endeavor. Purpose brings a notion of going somewhere, realization is becoming attuned to what is in the present. This has been my letting go process.

Of course it is, but why do we engage in forum discussions in the first place? Is it not just to ask questions and receive valued feedback? Doing this doesn’t take away from sovereign investigation..it is indeed a part of it.

How condescending lol. Did you not ask the question yourself before your journey? The question itself leads to a deeper inquiry.

The idea of humans having free will is false. Nonetheless, you are not a human . Who you truly are has infinite free will.

It sure as hell feels limited haha. But I get you man..the distinction between the limited and unlimited is itself imaginary .

Has anyone else encountered this? Usually with long stretches of meditation, I can have problems with sleep. As I lay and close my eyes for slumber, it feels the same as on the meditation cushion. I like being ultra aware but not when I’m trying to get a good 8 hours in ?
