Eternal Unity

I'm 33, and besides having an awakening, nothing interesting happened to me this year ?

"When you realize you do not fear death, you don't fear anything" - Anat Gov, cancer patient.

I tend to agree.

You and us are one. The only thing that exists.

Recontextualization.

@Bob Seeker ? @Swarnim Interesting!

@sda I was treated for free plus I was a student at the time so I had extra benefits. Mostly, healthcare in Israel is free.

There is no death. If you're aware you exist, then you do.

@Preety_India Cool, thanks!

@Alfonsoo ??

Yes. The Nature of the Absolute.

He is already in jail, too.

@Alfonsoo I read mostly for interest, that I had an awakening wasn't planned. I guess I connected to the spiritual aspect of the bible and it influenced me into awakening based on previous consciousness work. So, I wasn't exactly following religion rules. I search for truth. Wherever it leads me, I go there.

@Vignan Thank you for diverting my attention.

I didn't know that. Perhaps, I'll research into the life of this guru more. Thanks!

I believe it is wise to read them. I had my latest awakening during a read of the book of Ecclesiastes which was written by King Solomon, earlier this year. I'm Jewish and I live in Israel so I have access to many hebrew scriptures including Kabbalistic sources, Torah interpretations and Talmud writings. Greg

@Adodd ? Thanks for reading!

@Adodd Both. It has interpretations as well as the translation. I found it very informative and enjoyable to read. Don't know about that. @BipolarGrowth That's super!

Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Highly recommended!

@Vercingetorix Thanks, brother!

Greg: So there is no murder in the true sense of things? Spirit Guide: No. If someone takes a gun to your head and pulls the trigger, then I assure you of three things: 1. Though your body will fall away, irreparably damaged, YOU will survive. Your body will cease biological function and will die, but you will not, even for a split second, cease to be. After the bullet tears through your brain you will no longer be able to use that apparatus to filter your perceptions. You will immediately become aware of yourself as a being who is very much alive but now looking down on the ruined body that you used to think of as "yourself". So that will require a small adjustment of your perspective. This change in self-identity will have to be assimilated but you will very much still "exist". The important point to note about this is that the killer will think that you are gone, dead. But this is only a failing of his perceptions because he will no longer perceive you as a living being. But you will know that you are still alive. And this same thing can happen in some of the subtler realms as well. Just as it is possible to destroy someone's physical body here in this 3D realm you inhabit, so it is also possible to dissipate a 4D body. You can even do it at 5D, though it is both rare and difficult to do. Above that, it can no longer be done. But irrespective of where this happens and under whatever circumstances, it is always so that the one who is "killed" survives the experience. You simply lose the use of the vehicle that you were using. 2. If someone else "kills" you, then you will eventually come to understand that this was, on some level, agreed upon by the two of you. It might take a little time, a little processing and possibly even some counselling, but it is assuredly so that you will come to see that this event was the outcome of decisions and choices that you had made. Either you yourself, or you as your Inner Self. Greg: But hold on. What if I am at odds with my Inner Self? What if I don't agree with that choice? I mean surely it isn't right for my Inner Self to negotiate my life away without my consent? Spirit Guide: As long as you still do not understand that you and your Inner Self are really and truly the same being, that might be a valid concern. Indeed “being at odds with your Inner Self” is how you come to experience yourself as the small, separate, disconnected, disempowered being that is the hallmark of 3D consciousness. But if you "died" in such a circumstance then you would be helped. Members of your spirit family would be immediately on hand to guide you and counsel you so that you could come to a full understanding of what had occurred. You would be helped to see the perfection of the moment. Greg: And if you don't come to see it as perfect? If you don't agree to the ending? Spirit Guide: Then you will always have the choice to go back. Greg: Reincarnate, you mean? Spirit Guide: Yes, that is one option. But there is another option, and this brings me to my third point. 3. You always have the right to return to the life that was terminated, no matter how that termination occurred. Greg: The one with my head blown off? Surely not! How would I reanimate a body with my brains splattered across the floor? Spirit Guide: My goodness, you DO have a colourful imagination. You have already understood that time does not exist. It is only in 3D that you are constrained to the illusion that time is linear and absolute. This constraint does not apply to beings of the subtler realms. So we can help you in some interesting ways. After your "death" you will find yourself in a position to either accept that "death" and move on or you will have the option to enter into a counselling phase with more advanced members of your spirit family. At this point you will either accept the "death" and move on or there will be an agreement that you should return. If the latter is the case then there will be further counselling to help you to make better choices next time so that you don't just end up repeating the same scenario over and over. When all these issues are properly dealt with then you are returned to your life at an appropriate moment. What the "appropriate moment" is will vary greatly from case to case. In some instances it would be quite a bit before the previous moment of death so that a new path forward could be found and the death event avoided completely. In some instances you will be returned to the event mere moments before it occurred and, with inspired guidance, you will navigate it differently. And then there are those instances which can be highly inspirational where the being is allowed to experience the "death", remember some part of the counselling and remember the returning. These are often called Near Death Experiences. But each and every case is different and unique and each one is handled with great love and sensitivity by the being's spirit family. Greg: That's pretty amazing stuff. That means no one dies without agreeing to it. Spirit Guide: My dear Greg, We have been telling you for a while now in all kinds of different ways that you are the creator of your own reality. You always get exactly what you create. How then would that statement be true if it ceased to be true as soon as you died? It wouldn't. Greg: You're right. Then it would have had to be, "You get exactly what you create until you die." Spirit Guide: Quite right. And so this is the point: even death does not victimize you. Even when you have died you STILL have options. You still have the right to say, "Hey! I wasn't done with that!" And if, after being properly counselled, you decide that there is indeed unfinished business or a better way to end this then back you go to an appropriate moment before the "termination event", whatever that was. Greg M.

Well said!

@Someone here After death there are stages of continuation. First, you realize you are not your body, then you realize you are not your mind, then you realize you are not even your soul. You merge with the oneness of being, your true essence. From there you continue to The Spirit Realm. Or The Realm of the Absolute. All of this is happening with a profound feeling of peace. This information was communicated to me through inner guidance. Also, there are a lot of books on the subject. Some of which include Home with God by Neale Donald Walsch and Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton.

Equanimity, in my opinion, is the experience of peace. A balanced mind. No pain involved, resistance to it, consciously or unconsciously. Concentration is, indeed, what you focus on. You can train this ability by focusing for longer periods of time on the same thing. Clarity would be a flash of knowing that is lasting. Example: When you see 2 + 2 = ? And you KNOW: A-ha! It is 4. If you compare concentration and clarity then I can say that clarity is the result of continuous concentration. You observe reality, concentrate and then you like: I understand it! I'm clear as to what is happening. Enlightenment dawns.

Liked the Lion analogy. You, indeed, came full circle. Being imaginative coincide with our creative nature.
