Here’s my earnest reply: you’re making this whole shit up. All of it! Notice how I didn’t need to use the word God to explain myself

*I have not practiced this type of meditation myself, but I would be mindful if you find yourself judging your thoughts. An important key is that replacing what you perceive as a “bad” thought with a “good” thought (and vice versa), ultimately is just another thought *(I lie, I’m actually practicing now as I type this reply, heh)

Go deeper. You may discover that there’s no contradiction with what you call God state and your interaction with “others”. If anything, your connection to “others” will be stronger, because you are the whole damn thing!

Contrary to popular belief, Consciousness loves stories!

This is exactly the trap that even spiritual folks fall into. I did as well (and still do to a certain extent), so don’t feel ashamed. The answer you are “looking” for is so clear, that even the idea of needing a more conscious person/being/what have you won’t even register.

A few weeks ago, my therapist out of nowhere talked about Truth with a capital T (literally her own words). That blew my mind because out of the dozens of therapists I’ve seen in my lifetime, she’s the only one that’s ever mentioned Truth.

When I was 16, I had a therapist who told me he had a patient who was 5 years old. There’s nothing wrong with you unless you believe it to be the case. You’re unique - use that to your advantage and embrace it. Find those who want to nurture you; not shame you.

That’s the point of all these spiritual practices, psychedelics, contemplation, etc. You ultimately have to derive the answers for yourself. If I give you an answer, I can almost certainly guarantee you you’ll turn it into a belief.

Was reading the Wikipedia page on astral projection and stumbled upon this. Funniest thing I read all day

Try this

And you believe your other concepts without solid evidence?

Dying and killing yourself are not the same. If this simplicity is confusing to you, then please take it easy on yourself.

You’ve got to be willing to face even the difficult parts of yourself that you avoid. Believe it or not, facing difficult parts of yourself with complete trust in yourself will also reveal the ‘love’ or ‘beauty’ you are looking for. Are you up for that challenge? You’ve got this

That’s a belief.

Give a butcher knife to a 3 year old. Give the same butcher knife to a professional chef. Same knife; profoundly different results.

Thank you for the share! I’ve been working on exactly this for the past year so I resonate with it a lot.

Since when does Consciousness need a resume?

Good

In the beginning stages of awakening you’ll actually be in disbelief, ha!

I agree. I got into a car accident a couple nights ago (first time). Even though it was determined that I was not at fault, I still felt that I could have done a better job to prevent something like that from happening. I am now discovering new ways on how to become a better driver, not because someone’s telling me to, but because I choose to.
