I personally wouldn't My mum always taught me that there are three types of companies she would never work for: Guns, Drugs and Gambling In the end, you wanna be making a positive impact in the world. Let other people have that job. Work in something that uplifts humanity, you will feel more fulfilled. This is just my opinion

You can realize the absolute in ever deeper ways. Thinking of the absolute as something dead and static, one realization of what things are, is very rudimentary. Absolute=Infinity On the one hand, Infinity is infinity and that's it But Infinity is truly infinite. How are you gonna be done lol? I think people don't get this

He never implied such things. When asked to clarify this exact question said that lifelong learning still holds but he is not gonna read more spirituality.

Solipsism just means you are the only thing that exists Infinity of Gods is recursive Solipsism or Solipsism² Infinity subdivides in infinite parts and each part is equally infinite. A part of infinity is equally infinite that the whole of infinity, that's the paradox of infinity. This is not Cantor's notion of infinity this is real infinity. How many seeds are in a seed? One seed can generate infinite seeds and yet each seed is equally whole, no seed is more seed than any other and all seeds contain an infinity of seeds. God is the seed, infinity is the perfect seed.

I'm still in shock that Trump is running again for presidency. I'm still in the negation phase

@LSD-Rumi I would rather prefer to make social media healthier and phone use positive and enriching for people. As that is now in ht best interest of corporations focussed on dopamine and addiction, maybe some prohibitions should be imposed. The diagnosis is severe but the treatment to heal a whole generation is the real challenge

Different in form Equal in substance

I'm happy that devotion works for you Having basic meditation skills is also important. You can't say you are in this path without being able to abide in no mind for 5min. Not saying you should become a pro or anything but at least have the 101 meditation experience of presence without thoughts.

You yourself have explained it. You have the raw sensation But you don't make any drama out of it Funny enough I fall sick yesterday and I've been feeling pretty shitty honestly ahahhaha I can make the distinction between the raw sensation and the drama and resistence I make to feeling shitty I feel shitty = Pain I don't wanna feel shitty = Suffering I'm having both right now. You see everything different when you are sick in fact

You should get some meditation skills, like basic presence no mind

I assure there is more to Awakening than that. Realizing you are God is not a trivial matter, it will be the best moment of your life That's what brought you so far so honor that. However, it may be also limiting you in some ways? Imagine you wanna tavel to Australia. First you have to believe there is a place called Australia. You talk to people that have been there and because of sheer faith that Australia existist you pay hundreds of dollars to take a plane and spend a week in Australia. It's the same with some Awakenings. They can sell you dream land and delude you, but maybe there is an actual Australia that I'm pointing you to. Try to wake up to God. Watch Leo's videos on God and work towards having the God-Realization awakening.

@Breakingthewall I agree with you in the methodology, it's very useful for me also, but we are getting different Awakenings from the same metholodogy hence the dissonance

Yes, I'm also interested on that

I am not interested in the topic of end of pain, just anecdotally. However, I'm a bit more interested into the suffering question, as buddhist talk so much about it. You seem to confuse these two things a lot, hence the misunderstanding. What is the difference between pain and suffering for you? For me it's pretty clear. Pain is the raw sensation. Suffering is a construction, disonance and resistance with the what is. You can get tortured and experience great pain. That is clear. But afterwards, one can be happy or suffer from that the rest of their life. In that difference is my inquiry. Yes, I did the first time I answered to your post. Some people are born without inner self talk. Are they the best meditators then? No The point is not to have a specificity and then generalise it but seeing the specificity I pointed of Sri Anandamayi Ma in the full context of her life. Not trying to prove God Realization or anything by the mere withstanding of pain blisfully. That makes no sense.

Anandamayee Ma Ceases to Feed Herself One evening, in 1924, Anandamayee Ma said, “I am not going to eat food with my own hand any longer.” Fearing she would die, from that day on she was always fed by her disciples. They had to put food into her mouth. This went on until she left the body in 1982.

@emil1234 That's an interesting video, thanks

@Leo Gura You sure about that? I am certainly open to both possibilities. I like this little story of Sri Anandamayi. I'm well aware that it is not relatable to anyone. She was born with rare genetics and an insane level of God-Realization. I like to study her case to see what is really possible under the sun, you may surely have seen the section I have here of her. It's like an alien of Awakening. Are all of these just stories? I'm open to both possibilities

@CosmicExplorer Literally what he says is in perfect accordance with what I said. Pain yes but no suffering. As pain is a first order phenomena and suffering is a made out of the first one, resisting what is. If what is, is suffering that is fine, you don'r resist either pain nor pleasure. In fact, pain and pleasure are seen as codependently arising. That's what he says, I'm not having his experience but this seems to be very consistent and clear. The tweet you posted says the exact same thing. Otherwise, please explain me the disonance

Funny enough he explains it in the same way as you did. He says that after the point of no return you will be who you actually were before all the wiring made by society, family, meditation and spirituality. He explains that it takes still some time to dissolve all of that, because some conditioning cannot be dissolved after there is truly no center. When this process of cleansing and conditioning is complete after the shift: You will be naturally you, whatever that is for you. I would like to note that after the shift took place in Frank Yang he started recommending psychedelics. One trip every month and a breakthrough 5meo dose a year. He said psychedelics are a great catalyst for dissolving but that in the end the methodology becomes irrelevant as you will also become awake and free from the particular tool you are using, being it psychedelics or meditation. I found this last point interesting and I only heard it from Adi Da Samraj before. In this line of approach, there seems to be a final discard of methodology and tools. Adi da says that the last stroke of egoity is the tool itself for awakening and that this is the last speck to dissolve and become continuosly free. I have no methodology to keep consciousness in place. It is always already the case. It is what it is. Adi Da Regarding this I would like to ask you about the topic of identity. Some people say that you should realize what you are, let's say consciousness, but identifying with it and making an identity out of it is wrong, you are trying to fill a glass with the whole ocean. Other say that you have to reflect the truths you have awoken to and if you are consciousness and that's your real identity then it is natural to say I am consciousness as well, and rewire your identity arround consciousness. Others say that if you realize that you are consciousness that really means, no identity at all, and you cannot make an identity out of it, or said in another way, the identity of consciousness is no identity at all or all identities simultaneously and identity itself. I'm a bit confused regarding this topic of identity, after the same awakening, consciousness is all there is, each individual takes different paths regarding their own identity. You awaken to your nature but then the role of identity that awakening triggers seems to be diverse. I would like to hear what you have to say on identity

It is more because of the release or Awakening than merely because of the substance itself then.

Good to know, thanks

It is that way in the highest peaks of God Realization. But those are insane levels of consciousness, like getting shot by a thunder. You are confusing God with Ishwara. Ishwara is the God-Head in creation so to speak, the abrahamic God for example is Ishwara. Let's take the hindu lens for a moment. Hinduism says that jiva (individual), jagat (world) and Ishwara/God-Father/Allah, all of that put together and more is Brahman or God. I think that's what's confusing you and many people when talking about God. They confuse God for Ishwara, NO. That's not what I mean when I say God. I say infinity when I mean God, you are the One, as there is only the One, that makes you the ultimate sovereign of Reality -> Ishwara, as there is only one that makes you the whole of reality -> jagat and well you already consider yourself an individual so that's done. God is all that is possible for infinity, all permutations, the infinite space of possibilities. Deep, huh? Yes, that's a real danger. Though, how do you avoid? You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. I could tell you that you are not a human being existing but existence being a human being. You can take that out of faith and generate it unto your experience and delude yourself with something which is actually true. However, you may give a necessary push in the right direction and make someone wake up to the existential domain of reality. In the end, it all boils down to the intelligence and maturity of the one receiving the teaching rather than the teching itself.
