Matthew85

"All you ever want is love" True if you expand what you call love to include everything.

@Leo Gura Reality being infinite imagination seems to create a challenge in discerning what is truth? Using the example of taking psychedelics to discover truth. If we actually have never taken any psychedelics, we only imagined we did, then our trips and all insights we gained were all imagined as well. If this is the case, what do we use as our barometer for discerning truth? This makes me think of people who say all truths or perspectives are true. As someone who has been a passionate seeker of understanding and truth most of my life, that isn't satisfying.

@Godishere In my personal experience and exploration of this, there is no death. Even the common term the after-life is not accurate, there is only life. As far as God realization after withdrawing your focus from this human experience, that seems to be a very individual thing. Most seem to enter another layer of the dream that is very similar to the reality they just left and will have to "die" many more times to reach God realization.

@Vibroverse Interesting question. No one really knows. My intuitive feeling is it continues to exist. What we call waking up is just a shift of focus of your consciousness. This is why you can experience waking up and being able to fall back asleep and reenter the same dream.

@thenondualtankie This isn't something you have to work at. It will be a natural byproduct of your evolution.

@CodyXarex A lot of what you are experiencing is emotional immaturity. This will change with time as you begin to date older women. There are a lot of amazing woman in the world who don't play silly games. Be patient, you will find one.

@Gregory1 That is an interesting perspective. Thank you! For me, when I experienced that state my desire to create sprang from immense joy, not any sense of loneliness. Concepts like loneliness, or longing don't even exist. One of the challenges in trying to articulate these experiences and insights is our humanness immediately begins to overlay human concepts to try to interpret the experience. For this reason I'm not sure we can ever really accurately understand or explain God while we are in human form. Our minds that we use to interpret the experience will always color and distort it to varying degree's. God is beyond any human concept our minds use to describe it.

@Javfly33 If you want extra energy without the side effects of caffeine, try shilajit or goji berries. I have had great results with them.

@Javfly33 Loneliness is just one of many different experiences we can have in this human game. Try to let go of the negative judgment about it. One of the reasons we choose to have a human experience is because there is a wide variety of unique emotions and experiences that we don't have in other states of existence.

@Adodd You're welcome! Maca and pine pollen combined with dead lifts and squats will have you feeling like a teenager again.

@Gregory1 This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed reading it. Much of it paralleled my own insights, except for the being alone aspect. My experiences of becoming god were the total opposite of feeling alone. That concept couldn't even exist for me in that state. It's very challenging to articulate these experiences. You did a great job.

@SQAAD That is challenging to articulate. What we are is beyond any identity or language. You could say you are infinite awareness currently focusing part of your consciousness to have an experience of being a human named SQAAD.

You are currently having the experience of being a human. It is not your true identity.

Pine pollen will give you a nice boost. https://liftershaven.com/pine-pollen-and-testosterone-levels/

@Gabith What works best for me is to incorporate appreciation into daily activities. For example if I am grocery shopping I appreciate the farmers for growing the food, the truck drivers for delivering the food and supplies, all the employee's for keeping the store clean and stocked, all the people involved in the construction of the store etc. You can do this with any activity.

His deep passion for seeking and understanding truth. Doing the work to verify it for himself. His courage to share his personal journey in such a public way.

@Truth

@Thought Art Interesting question. I don't have an end goal currently. Keep deepening my understanding of the mind and how it constructs realities. Continuing to achieve greater degree's of mastery over my emotions and state. Greater mastery over consciously shaping my reality. I'm progressing nicely in all these areas. So, continuing to master myself, which translates to more mastery over the game of life.

God or source is infinite. That means without any limitations. It is all awareness happening simultaneously. Our humans minds can only grasp a tiny fraction of the concept of god.

Yes. Dreams within dreams. Or creations within creations. How many layers are there? I have no idea.

@Blackhawk Did you predict it, or cause it? Something to contemplate.

@Forza21 You are still interpreting your experience through the limited ego and human mind. God is beyond any concepts of alone, loneliness, only me and all these labels your mind is using to describe it. God is infinite. Our human minds are not capable of understanding something that is without any limits. Even to say it's only me, is already your human mind putting a limitation on it. Keep exploring and deepening your understanding. You will run into many paradoxes your mind will have trouble making sense of. If you are feeling fear, this is the ego distorting or misinterpreting your experience. It's a long process. You are only at the very beginning.

Yes it is. I was trying to increase my frequency of lucid dreams for awhile. I would do the practices and night after night I would completely fall into the narrative of my dreams forgetting who I was.

Time is imagined. Outside of the human mind and all its concepts and ideas, there is only the present, continuous, and uninterrupted eternal now.

@Tyler Durden This is a very common feeling. One of the reasons why most people upon physical death will find themselves in another layer of the dream almost identical to their current life. For the majority the expansion of consciousness will be a gradual process. And even as you expand in awareness. It isn't about losing who you are, who you are just becomes more.
