I find it helpful to investigate what is so appealing in the mind that attention is constantly going there. It is our self-images that are demanding love, acknowledgement and attention. Inner child being one of them. Some other ones I personally have: someone who knows everything (a teacher), someone who doesn't have any social difficulties and is liked by everyone etc. Giving them what they need makes them relax and it becomes easier to stay in the present.

You most definitely can. The subtle body doesn't have the same limitations as the physical one. Even by looking at a photo or a video you can sense a person's energy and it can affect you. It's a similar thing. The real question is, what is the source of that energy? They also believe that muscle testing is a legitimate way to test one's level of consciousness, as if a reptilian brain knows such things.

What most teachers miss is the importance of the first step: getting rooted in the present moment sensory experience, the body. Without it, the whole path is just happening in the mind and feeding the ego. Spirituality is simply a deepening of your present moment experience and it starts with the body and its senses.

RASA is just a high frequency artificial energy that can produce states that may seem like awakening/enlightenment but it's actually garbage. Talking from personal experience.

90% of ICU hospitalizations in Israel are people that are fully vaccinated. And only 60% fully vaccinated. What does that tell you? Similar data from research done in Massachusetts. "CDC study shows 74% of people infected in Massachusetts Covid outbreak were fully vaccinated."

If you have a lot of fear in your system, chances are you're in for a rough ride.

Because someone who doesn't play a savior doesn't fit your idea of a good person?

Maybe that's not superstition but your intuition telling you to stay away. I'd listen. But if you want to get a fake enlightenment and pay for it with your life force and have your real connection to your higher self replaced with a connection to some entity, go for it. These things might seem innocent on the surface, but they're far from it. People have no idea what they're getting themselves into and what's happening on a subtle level when they get these energy transmissions, initiations etc.

Yes, because what you need from others is love and acknowledgement. Neediness is simply a lack of self love. There are different ways to practice it. The best practice, in my opinion, is noticing what you already love in yourself (but are not aware of) as much as possible. For example, when you're thinking random thoughts, you can investigate, why am I thinking those thoughts? What am I to get out of it? Let's say, you're having a conversation with someone in your head. You can ask "what do I want to say/prove about myself but am hiding it?". Usually, it's how cool, awesome, wise, smart etc. you are. Let yourself feel it. You'll notice that you already love that image of yourself, you don't even need to learn to love it. Love is already present. You can't force yourself to love. Love doesn't work like that. You can simply become more and more aware that self love is already the case.

Ontological nihilism is an idea that the mind comes up with when it tries to grasp non conceptual reality. It then holds onto that idea as the ultimate reality, ironically.

Only self love.

Those entities are telling you things your ego likes to hear. What do they want to get from you?

You can investigate, what it is that you love in your mind that your attention is always going there, no matter how hard you might try to keep it somewhere else. There is something there that you love very much, you just need to become aware of what it is and that will make your love conscious.

With open borders, many countries would become empty.

Freedom from the cycle of birth and death doesn't mean the end of experience. It's only the end of a separate experiencer. Experience doesn't stop with enlightenment; there's no reason to believe it will stop once the physical body goes. But once you fully remove the ignorance, you're done. They say, ignorance has not beginning, but it does have an end.

The reason why people who blindly believe stuff piss you off is because they remind you of your own dogmatism. You literally wouldn't be able to get angry at them if you didn't have it in you. If you look at the energy they trigger in you just before the anger/irritation arises, that's the stuff you're denying you have.

I think that error comes from thinking that God is Consciousness, which is incorrect. God manifests Consciousness to know itself (but only its immanency because the transcendent God is forever unknown, simply because it's equal to nothing).

It's quite strange that pretty much all governments really care about people's health all of a sudden.

Very true. I am is a very subtle form of ego.

Would you want to be special if you knew with a 100% certainty that it is not going to give you love, attention, acknowledgement? You want to be special because you believe you need to be special to get those things. Specialness by itself doesn't mean anything. Now, the image of you that wants to get those things lives in your imagination, so you can give him all he wants in your imagination as well, until he is satisfied.

You as consciousness itself is also an illusion. But even in the awakening of consciousness to itself there is nothing terrible and no sense of loneliness. Which means, your ego is claiming to be alone for eternity and suffering because of that. Engaging in the kind of mental masturbation you engage in doesn't lead to anything positive, only more suffering.

I'm not saying there's a problem. But you're lying to yourself when you say "there's just weed happening". You do it because you're bored/dissatisfied.

You have no emotional attachment to the outcome when you don't expect it to make you happy.
