@BipolarGrowth It's as much a part of the journey as anything else. It just show you that you've evolved spiritually. Respect and Love ?<3

@PurpleTree I was going to say that it's better to ask yourself than to ask your cards but it seems like the cards are saying the same thing. When you find the voice/feeling of what feels right to do in each moment all indecisiveness ceases.

The process would be opening your heart. A good practice for doing this is laying on a bed for example with arms straight to out so your body is like a cross and then you put awareness on the heart. The heart closes as a way to guard oneself from emotional pain and once this practice has been done reguarly you can feel heart close. Opening might feel painful physically but there is no danger to doing it. There might be some old emotional scars that might rise to the surface as well. Living with an open heart is living with love. <3

@aetheroar Different types of conditioning will trigger different reactions to the same or similiar experiences. Like going to a party and talk to strangers. For some that is joyful and for others it's quite a fearful experience.

@iboughtleosbooklist When death's been experienced what is left to fear? Fully awakened never happens though. ?

Well played sir! @charlie cho I wonder how many of these dictators have been doing the same for what they believed was a good cause?

Thank you for sharing your contemplation! ? Maybe explore what knowing and the unknown is will help you deal with this topic?

You mean what happens to the body? It dissolves and it's energy become other stuff. There isn't a someone inside the body that dies.

@BipolarGrowth Lol. He really didn't want to explore that further. ?

@Nadosa The oscillations can be really rough when they happen but usually it's because we resist them from happening. Experiences come and go no matter if it's bliss or feeling insane. Keep inquiring into the rough feelings, it gets easier with time. In this case there's nowhere to go. It's all a deepening into this experience right now. Also cut yourself some slack. The forum is here to help you. Shitpost all you want if it helps get things of your chest. ? For how long have it been oscillating?

@RMQualtrough Different people perceive it in different ways. The classic perceiver/perceived duality is how one perceive it before a realization has happened. And after realization it's experienced as perceiver and perceived is the same (oneness). Then full circle back into duality.

Yes fear is usually the last negative emotion that one has to face. Then there's a deep sense peace, stillness and love that never really leaves ones experience. Inquiring into all negative emotions like fear and anger to dissolve identification with them is key to going further in my opinion.

@Terell Kirby It depends how far you want to take things. If the realization is continual in your experience and not coming and going I see no need to continue meditation practice unless you want to take things further.

Maybe the possibility in your mind is the devil?

Search for it and you might find out. You won't find it out by asking people here and discuss it with them. Maybe you'll be satisfied with the answer you'll get here but it won't be the real answer.

@WokeBloke If it seems that experience is happening to you then maybe you want to investigate this you that experience is happening to. Who or what are you?

Yes exactly. And how do you know that you have a body?

Yes, so you can believe you have a head and be aware that it's just a belief and that you don't actually know. It's about Knowing and believing you know and knowing that you are believing.

Maybe you do have a head (or two) you just don't know it. ?

Yes existence is always changing but isn't there something about you that hasn't changed? Something that is the same now as when you were a child for example?

Seeing without a seer is describing what is being experienced when a realization has happened. Then there is no longer separation between the seer and seen. Before realization there seems to be a seer within the body that is looking out of it. You are making a logical conclusion based on the premise that the english language is true. It might be worth contemplating what language is. If there is a sense of a seer that sees something separate of itself it might also be worth examining where the seer ends and where the seen begins is there any boundary between the two?

@Alfonsoo There are many ways to break down distinctions. You could do it experientially by breaking down your experience into sight, sound, feeling, smelling, tasting and thought. You could also do spiritual autolysis where you try to write down a true statement and then boil it down to something you know is true. It's a way to unlearn your beliefs which is unconsciously makes up the way you perceive reality. You'll come a long way just by questioning things. Is this really true? What is true? Just by posting these questions on this forum you've started your journey. Have fun and explore.

If One is used as an ego blanket I agree 100% but One could also point to the same thing as reality/infinity that you used. It's not as much about the correct word being used as the context which it is being used in. The same word has different meaning in different contexts and contexts resonates more or less similiarly to what music does.

He's quite the character. It'll be interesting to see how it will evolve once the realization settles down.

Are you certain about that? There is evidence that meat might not be testosterone promoting: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-effect-of-animal-protein-on-stress-hormones-testosterone-and-pregnancy/
