Thoughts appear here where you are. Which is what is the localization of your consciousness. You created thoughts to distract yourself from your Absolute state. Thoughts are nothing but your construction of the self vs reality structure that you have designed, imagined and willfully put yourself in. When you are in a peak state of non duality, through meditation or psychedelics. You are everywhere and everything. But still nowhere and nothing. But for the purposes of continuing your finite self structure, you start talking with yourself, when the peak subsides, or when you go “out” of meditation. And you create a split within yourself. One who is listening and one who is talking. And since reality is nothing but a mirror of yourself: If you see thoughts as a bad and annoying thing, then that’s precisely what thoughts become, bad and annoying. But if you see what it is for, you can start working with it to transcend the limitation, by stop thinking that is a limitation. And that everything is boundless. When you start accepting Everything as yourself, you stop thinking. You are home.

Are you telling yourself love stories? How poetic Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most loving of them all? Thank you for the share, nonetheless.

IMO: Insight is when you grasp the possibility of something in reality being actual. More of a heightened idea, with a kick of understanding the nature of something. While awakening is when you clear every single possible mental baggage and doubt, ideas and fantasies about something. No more speculation. And it becomes crystal clear, for what it Is. Which is Everything. What was searched for has been found, with even more than what was searched for, In an overwhelming way. Insight is more of marking locations on your map to get a localized/globalized viewpoint, and show you how far you have gone or how much of the map you have discovered. Awakening is when you realize that there were no map. You are trying to grasp something that is not graspable. But yet, it is, and it is Infinite. A deep sense of awe and as @Judy2 mentioned, a transcendental component is attached to it. Reality shifting thoroughly. Insight is connecting dots on the relative levels. While awakening is connecting those dots to the Absolute. When you are sleeping on the bed, and someone tries to shake you up and wake you up, the person trying to wake you up: nudges you a little bit, but if you are sleeping heavily, then those nudges are just a prerequisite, or a warming up to wake you up, but it is still not enough somehow, sometimes. Those nudges are insights. But awakening is when you are sleeping on your bed and you are dreaming about something. Lets say you are dreaming of falling. That usually jolts people up out of their dream. But sometimes the falling in the dream seems so real, so you are just falling and falling, without ever reaching a ground. And then you have someone on the outside, trying to nudge you or shake you up to wake you out of the dream. So the person gets worried and hits you with something or slaps you out of the dream. And you go from falling Infinitely, to waking up on your bed, with your mom slapping you across the face.

Whatcha taking? ?

Namaste ???✨

Beautiful. Thank you for your response. Yes, indeed. At a certain stage, what is left is just Complete Silence. And within that Silence, Everything is Known. Nothing left to say, but to just Be. Can understand why some of the awakened yogis go silent for a few years or dedicate the rest of their lives to silence. Sure is. But even that is nothing in itself, arguing to nothing, about Nothing. All of it is just this. All our attempts and everything we do is just This. Emptiness Dancing.

@Razard86 On fire today! Thanks ??

Thanks ?? Really enjoyed this one. Keep up the good work, you lovely mirror-maker ???

There you are

You completely cut out the part which has everything to do with what I wrote. And you directed it to our own selves. Which is hijacking God to be what we want God to be, for our own survival. God is Selfless. You are forgetting that. You can be God however much you want. All the Consciousness/Joy/Pleasure you can ever desire. But what is truly a test of your Consciousness/Joy/Pleasure, is when that is on the line and you have to be a giving God, rather than a receiving only God. Anyhow. No point to even write these things. It's all word salad to peoples ears anyway.

You are panicking and reflecting/deflecting on to others. I would highly advise you to check out sedona method. Here is a good youtube video about it. Go lie down on the floor or on the bed. And feel what is hurting. I promise, it will help you through this. I know, because I have been there. I'm trying to help you. But you are blinded by your emotions/thoughts and you are not allowing help to be given to you.

God doesn't speak to you the way we do. God's way of communicating with you is very subtle. You have to really be aware and open to really receive what is trying to be communicated to you. Well, now that you have woken up to something. Might as well accept it gracefully. Be happy that God is sharing these things with you. It should be an absolute honor to help reality to heal itself. Use this as a way of reminding yourself of your True Strength. Not to fall in to the spell of weakness. Sure, it will take time to integrate this. But You are God, remember what you are, and use that knowledge to reground yourself in your True Essence.

It's not about being tough. It's about staring Truth in the eyes, without looking away. And to call it names to defend yourself. Of course, makes zero sense when you are not open to what is trying to communicate with you, inside of you. Listen to your heart, and your suffering in life. God is there, every single moment, trying to communicate with you and through you.

We definitely are. Of course not, but look around you in the world. And then question that freedom you think God really has. Does it really seem that God is free to you? Maybe free to suffer. Sure. I’ll give you that. God is a multifaceted being. Of course in higher levels God is already free. But right here, right now, God has to deal with what Is. It’s time to really wake up and recollect the pieces and move beyond. For all of us.

Leo was talking to God in that video, just like any other. He’s trying to wake God up, to him/herself. What God has been going through, for us Ego’s to be “normies”. And to have our birthdays and to live our selfish lives. God isn’t just fairytales and sunny beaches and pineapples. God had and has to go through every single torture that we so gracefully give to him/her, through our unconscious behaviors, and our desire to avoid suffering. When you begin to suffer, you start to understand God. It’s like you finally put down your shit and really fall to your knees and listen for the first time in your life. Then it’s your choice to align yourself with what’s seen and have been given. You open up your heart and you let suffering in. As you let in and feel God’s suffering. You heal yourself and God at the same time. And to the degree that we live in accordance with this. The more whole and united reality becomes. But it will require us to work our asses of to do what was really meant to be. @iboughtleosbooklist I'm not cornering you, or calling you out specifically. I’m talking to the larger whole, and the subject at hand) Maybe the video ruined your finite life. But maybe it was a calling for you to start to align yourself with Truth.

Indeed. Totally agree. Not good being to naive either. Find the balance within you. Use the fear to be cautious. And by being cautious, well read, well informed. You no longer have to be too paranoid or fearing it all the time. Maybe you will feel like you have been cautious enough from your part. And then let go of the control for the rest of the equation. Trying to be too much in control, will give you the experience of having no control at all. But letting go some of that control, will gain you some. Learned that from a good friend @Razard86

I'm not gonna lie. I haven't laughed this much in a while. It's brilliant. Everything is so out of context, and it's like seeing this whole shebang from a materialists eyes comical

Don’t you mess up your ph levels if you do that? I wouldn’t if I were a girl. Just saying.

Hi friend, welcome to the forum

It is much more profound than some LOA force. It's our Truest Nature. We just have to realize it more and more, through trial and error, through experience. Through getting all of our questions answered.

According to the model below, it is in the same category as Anger. Around 150 or so.

Because by the very mechanism of you thinking about it, is you Creating it. Everything that is questioned by you, has to be answered by your experience. You created the entire Universe, with just asking the question: Who and what Am I? And of course, then Everything came in to existence, for you to experience every single possible way of knowing: Who and what you are. So If you wonder what death is, you inquire so much until you get your answer. But realize that what you seek is what you get. Your very fabric of being is created by the force of your will, desire and curiosity to know. So if you wonder what death is, your reality creates "such" a thing for you to move through and past that. Because you are not sure on what it could be. You ask a question, and since you are Everything, of course, you have be the one who answers it.

@Barna Inquire where that drama began before you get comfy on that pillow Where that initial thought structure began, where the root of the fractal of thoughts/conflict/drama originated. This is not to call you out. This is to show all of us, where our inner resistance, turmoil, obsessive thinking and underlying conflict begins. And what is keeping us from the only important thing there is. Which is this Moment.

Yeah, indeed. It’s pink, it wouldn’t be of any harm. It’s like Hubba Bubba Bubblegum ?
