@James123 An awakening has happened yes but there is still energy of the separate self there. Still work to be done.

Haha yep. Soon you can hoist your enlightenment flag.

@Dlavjr It's like falling into the abyss. You will instinctively try to grab ahold to anything to stop falling but that will only make you bump into the rocks. The best is to just stop grabbing and free fall. That way it can be a pleasant fall down. So if you catch yourself grabbing, loosen the grip and continue to fall.

@kundalini91 Thx for sharing! Yes, that's it. And then we can let it go.

@Javfly33 Yes it is YOU! It's so obvious it's often overlooked. ?

@flume Great pointers. We can't really bypass our experience if we want to realize our true self.

@QandC Yes a realization of the interconnectedness of everything. It's an important step.

@lmfao It's definetly no joke. I felt the same kind of terror you do. The terror will eventually pass once you go fully into it. Hopefully that is somewhat comforting.

I'm not a technique guy, I'm more a winging it kind of guy. There might be a technique for it but that technique will lose it's effectiveness the deeper you go into this. This is more like riding a bike. I can tell you how but in the end you need to start riding and falling on your ass. That's how you learn. ? You'll learn to function in this state aswell. They will happen whether you want them to or not. So maybe it's better to go with them than resisting them?

Let the realization sink in before you do anything drastic.

@Dlavjr Sounds like an awakening to me. The shifting between being consciousness and the separate self is normal. The key is to let the shifts happen and stop trying to control them.

@JayG84 That's a great insight. Thanis for sharing. <3

Indeed. ? And seeing that everything at the core is empty sure is scary at first but then it's very freeing and wonderful. (So freeing and wonderful that this empty side is held onto for dear life by this noone) ? There is nowhere to rest ones head. ?

There might be a balance. For me there was at first a search for truth and now the creating is coming more and more into my life. There is a phase where there isn'tmuch movement in the world. At least for me. So lets say you build and create only to later see it all fall apart. Might be worth taking that into consideration. <3

@Koeke If you want enlightenment then strive for enlightenment. If you want something else, strive for that. Just be clear with what you want and put it as the number one priority.

When ego sees the emptiness of self it has a tendency to try to build upon itself. Truth is about becoming less not more. It is behind the egoic facade. Where do you want to go from here? Do you want truth or do you want to build upon the illusion?

@OmniYoga A psychedelic trip will come and go within the one, enlightenment is a permanent recognition of the one.

Just because there is no fear to die doesn't mean theres a desire to die. <3

@WHO IS would you rather die happily at 27 having done everything you wanted in life or die at 100 in regret not doing anything you wanted to do? I like what Jim Rohn says at 1:30:

@WHO ISFear of death also brings a fear of life. How many people are stuck in life because they are afraid to do the things they want to do? Do you think fear of death has any value in a persons life?

@actualizing25 You can awake to the point where there is no suffering and a deep tranquility but to go further truth must be the highest priority.

It's closer to feeling than seeing the substance. Not everyone has an awakening experience, for some the ego falls away slowly over a long period of time without a significant experience. It's not enlightenment but let the intuition guide you to realization.

@actualizing25 First you need to recognize what you truly are when your sober and "hang out" in that place moment by moment.

@WhatAWondefulWorld Not the world your imagining. The world beyond your thoughts.
