Here are a few of my favorite physicists that have a deep interest in raising consciousness and combining the two quite well. We really need more open minded physicists like them to advance our civilization through the marriage of physics and consciousness. If you look at the history of physicists, you will be surprised at how open minded they really were. They all had very deep insights into the true nature of reality on all levels. The seen, and the unseen. Proving that to skeptical colleagues on paper was a different story though. Einstein was quoted as saying "I'm not interested in the details, I want to know the mind of god".

There is much more to "I" than meets the eye. Something that needs to be experienced by you and you only. Otherwise you would never believe it. Turn your awareness inwards an find the answers there.

@Nicole2602 I don't have any personal experience with spirits or the afterlife but this seems very interesting to consider. I hope it helps!

What exactly is it that we refer to an enlightening experience? Could that all be just part of a natural evolutionary process of our species? Realizing that we are more than just our physical bodies? Are we getting away from the caveman way of associating ourselves to our environment only. Everybody has a different personal view on their experience of awakening. Some call it spiritual, some call it awakening, some refer to it as ecstasy or bliss. Maybe that's all just personal interpretations of our expanding awareness of the cosmos we exist in and also other dimensions than just the physical dimension we occupy. Maybe there is really nothing spiritual about it at all. Maybe we are just beginning to experience a bigger picture of what we truly are within the universe and the unseen forces that act on it. I think about this sometimes, If there are highly advanced civilizations out in the universe somewhere, how would they interpret what we are referring to as enlightenment? Are we just awakening to the fact that we are truly multi-dimensional beings and always have been? Just a thought.

@SkyPanther @SkyPanther Have you seen this yet? Don't mind the coughing in the background !

You experienced what is beyond the self. Yes, it does feel like a mild "mental breakdown" because that's what it is. A collapse of the false "mental" image. The model of self gets put in stark light for what it truly is. I see it this way, nothing in reality has changed at all. Only the way it is understood changes. The "outside" that you speak of, in physics it could be called a big bang or the singularity? Here it is the non-manifest becoming the manifest. The "work to do" is just the slow removal of what has never been true in the first place. It is the "Throwing Away" of false perceptions. That's the journey we all share.

Become a unified field.

Maybe it was just coincidence, but I had a mini awakening in late August 2015, than a major awakening the 2nd week in Sept. Something within consciousness suddenly changed frequencies. It was a very profound shift to something I never realized was there before. Could that have something to do with gravitational waves or something within the basic fabric of space/time? After that happened I was suddenly researching that from all angles. Spirituality and consciousness, Physics, Dark matter, Calabi-Yau manifolds. David Bohm's theory on the implicate/explicate order ect, ect. From that more open awareness a completely new picture emerged for me. Could it be that consciousness has now become more tuned or opened to other dimensions that are effecting our physical universe? Whatever it is, it's very cool!

Only this moment exists. It's all one snapshot. Edit; that just came out of nowhere!

"Usual" conversation is all mind. Daily events and things. This is no time for meditation. Unless your Buddha and your always in that state! When 2 or more people are sharing a mutual space, spiritually through the use of words, that can be a very enlightening experience for all. That could be close to meditation. But not meditation in it's true meaning. Set time aside to do nothing but your meditation. Let that deep silence that is found in meditation integrate naturally with everything.

I think you could relate to the words of this song! "People think I'm crazy--Just watching the wheels go round and round"

I'm just watching the wheels go round and round and round. I really need to let them go"

@AngeArthur How are things within awareness for you? Haha-- How's it going? Beautiful weather where I'm at. Spring is in the air! The birds are chirping! Beautiful ! Nothing wrong with winter. But something about the spring time that just makes consciousness "POP".

Tell me how you opened your mind to spirituality. I see how hard it is to hear the same old cliches and dismiss such beautiful ideas. Do you really want to have that experience? First throw out all your assumptions of what you think it will be like. The experience happens only when there is no mind and no self to relate to. The "key" is to transcend all that. I followed Leo's direction on becoming no-self. I thought of all the history of myself, from my earliest childhood memories, to being a teen ager, to becoming an adult. I took my complete life story and put it in one pile in front of me and looked at that and embraced it all. Than I said to myself. "none of that ever existed". I really wanted to feel what it would be like not to exist at all. And suddenly something clicked in me and I became absolute pure being and pure consciousness. It felt like something came to a point of perfect focus that was beyond "me". Conscionsceness was no longer localized at my body location, but extending outwards. There were no boundaries to consciousness. I had my eyes opened when this was happening at first. Than something suddenly happened that was totally amazing, I must have closed my eyes and I experienced a blissful state of pure being that was just floating in an ocean of pure, silent, bliss. It honestly felt like my true being entered into another dimension. After that experience I sat here and thought to myself "I never knew that existed in me before". I was totally blown away! So if at some point, your not doing anything in particular, and you want to experience this. Give yourself just 10 minutes, take that time to let go of yourself as if you truly don't exist. Could you do that? It was a scary thing to do, to totally let go of self like that. But that is the price of admission that must be paid. You must put all your faith in trusting something much greater than self exists. If you can do that and totally let go of every fragment of yourself, It will naturally happen to you too! The "key", the total surrender of the self. Pure being does not exist on the same frequency that mind does. You must become the frequency that matches pure being and shift into that. It is a tricky key to find because there is a price to be paid, but I promise you, it's there waiting for you. It is in all of us whether we realize it or not.

Nothingness loops back into existence to become one thing happening and completes the circle? If that's what you mean by looping, I totally agree.

Thorns exist only in the mind. Like the hairs of an ox's tail. Where is the remainder of the ox?

@Ayla Is the thorn needed to remove the thorn, not the remainder of the ox?

Yes, we have brief moments that are deep experience's of existence and humanity, And then there is the reality of how things are. It's balancing act. The yin and yang maybe? But yes, the contrast is sometimes stark. I had the deep experience of overwhelming universal love the other morning. I could feel love embracing all of us. It was like a pure love orgy with the total consciousness of all humanity. lol But all joking aside That's a powerful frequency to tune to.

The silent observer is absolute nothingness. It contains nothing, and yet it contains everything. Something that that will always allude the mind. It permeates this existence at all times and everything that happens here, echoes' into nothingness for infinity.. Conscionsceness is that empty space within this experience. It flourishes when there is no mind.

@werlight I had those same type of experiences as you did. Deeply immersed in existence. Those special experiences are something you never forget. Deja Vu would also happen sometimes. Is total enlightenment alot like constant Deja Vu ?

There exists no mind to be "open minded". There's your "trigger". Only the awareness of reality exists as @werlight expressed to you through his personal experience. Everything becomes one mutual existence.

@Naviy I don't do the deep self inquiry thing. To me it seems like giving the ego mind all the attention it wants. Unless there is a lot of baggage to toss out. If that's the case, than yes. But that's too much mind happening for true growth. Where is the pure being in all this? The silent observer that exists beyond the playground of the mind. Transcending the mind should become effortless once the pure state of being is experienced. Have you had a transcendent experience yet? What exists beyond your mind?

Ego is flowing in time and slowly dissolving during the awakening process. That's what I take from the message. Growth is the "vanishing" of the ego, only the sense of being remains. @5:50
