@sgn God's dreamscape is reality to us.

@Stoica Doru I just listened to the Adyashanti video that you presented and that really hit home for me. I could have used that during my awakening. I remember feeling as if I had one foot in each world for a while and didn't know where to stand. Or if what I was experiencing as being disorientated was usual. The Terra Firma that the ego once rested upon was now gone.

@Michael119 I don't remember experiencing ego death in a dream, but your description sounds very close. Your on the right track there! It could be that what is happening is subconsciously your ego is already resisting by putting up a fuss behind the scenes. Which is perfectly normal activity for the ego. That's a good sign b-c the ego feels threatened. You must be getting close to a break through. Reality doesn't slip away although the ego may tell you differently. Reality is always reality. What will slip away though is the ego's version of seeing reality which is a warped delusion. Once the ego is broken through it's like you took the blinders of delusion off and your seeing reality as it truly is. May I suggest contemplating this, If your ego's view of reality suddenly fell away, how could that possibly effect true reality?

@Seeker_of_truth Yea that is a bit of a wrong approach to take. I made the same mistake for a time than just by chance of it's own doing something happened one day. But it's not going to happen purposely trying so that you can experience it for yourself. It doesn't work that way. You have to completely dissolve what is you first. Than what remains is nothingness. Which is nothing. But an amazing nothing. Never "try". That is too much "you". Too much effort. Too much desire. Too much ego. It only happens when you let go of everything. That's the key. But purposely trying to let go of everything, doesn't work either. Haha "You" have to become nothingness itself. No content. No desire.

The Dictionary Samadhi :(Sanskrit: समाधि, Hindi pronunciation: [səˈmaːd̪ʱi]), The mind becomes still. It is a state of being totally aware of the present moment; a one-pointedness of mind.[web 1]

@Dan Arnautu May Steve Hackett inspire you as a guitar player as much as he does me. Check out the lyrics of Dance on a Volcano. "You Better Start doing it Right"

@Fatrat Listen to what Leo has to say @ 5:00. "embody the work"

You nailed that one!

I'm in.

It's getting a little stale lately. What can I do to freshen the spiritual air? I sometimes feel like I'm covering old ground for the third time.

You gotta see the rest of it! But that's already 4 minutes of time you'll never get back again. haha...... or will you?

@Barna Are you sure didn't experiance a time warp? " It's just a jump to the left"

@Barna For whatever it's worth, I experienced time standing still for what seemed like a millisecond today. I mean time just suddenly stopped on a dime. Realizing it had stopped made time start to pass again because I was back in thought/mind. But for a second, I could have swore that time stood still. Edit: Time solidified.

This is a little disturbing. Monkey mind on steroids.

@Annetta Not really. I coined a phrase. Witnessing the ego/self from the point of source. "At a distance" as you said. That "distance" being the divine partition.

@Annetta Devine Partition

My view is he didn't want to be considered a "Guru" or anything formal.

Allen watts considered himself a "spiritual entertainer".

@BeginnerActualizerNo problemo! Just stay with it! It will happen.

@BeginnerActualizer Step outside your safety zone and put everything on the faith that there is something much bigger than you. Allow it to consume you.

@BeginnerActualizer Just my 2 cents worth but it sounds like it could be a form of resistance. Maybe your on the verge of a breakthrough but instead that happens and therefore stops the breakthrough from happening. The subconscious can be sneaky.

@Colin I use Bose TP-1A's. Great sound reproduction, light weight, and they don't get hot wearing them. You can find them on Ebay used for a good price. You can get new replacement ear pads for them too that are easy to change.

I'm obsessed with enlightenment ! haha Your totally right! It's not some kind of new toy for the ego to play with.

Just wanted to share this here.

I must not be awake for everything looks to me as it has never looked before. Or I'm awake for the first time and all that was before was just a dream. Walt Whitman
