I'm coming to this conclusion after intense contemplations that there is no good or bad. God is everything. God takes different forms. Healing forms. You losing money is negative energy. Different healing forms protect you from this negative energy. Your whole life is a spiritual process. And God is all about building character and building karma. And building wisdom as well. Your whole life is about building character. It's a spiritual journey that continues into eternity. Your character and your karma is molded through these different healing forms. Shiva takes different forms.

Doing Kriya consistently, been practicing the beginner Pose for 80+ days, 10 min... get to Pranayama ASAP. I'm wasting time with all that beginner pose stuff. Pranayama is where the results lie. haven't found many reports on the long-term results of Kriya Yoga. Big claims but not really clear explanations of what changes. Be you, be happy, be awake, be enlightened. Good things come to those people who wait. Who dare. Who want. Who work with commitment. Don't give up. Even in the absence of appreciation. Be awake be enlightened If you're good, everything else is gonna be okay. Smell the flowers when you wake up in the morning. Things aren't as bad as they used to be? You see? be enlightened

During the last session, The shackles of the mind were released. The conditions have been broken. It's amazing how much beauty has a reality around us, but we can not see it through our conditions. Everything was beautiful, vivid, amazing. My eyes were full of joy, life, innocence, happiness and gratitude for being alive. I felt the mind slowly sinking more and more in the present moment. I laid out on the lawn and looked up at the sky, it all became so obvious ... It was so obvious that I am not the body ... that it will soon die ... It's an amazing paradox. There is no such thing as human life ... We are a void that experiences itself through the human body. Woaaah .... I understood that there is only an organism and a consciousness that is perfect. I decided to go home. All the time I was accompanied by the beauty that I admired. When I saw the sunset, I almost cried. This can not be described. So this is real reality? Does it have so much beauty in itself? It's hard to believe it ... I sat in my training room, turned on the music and immersed in myself. I had some internal insights that were amazing. I experienced fractions of Samadhi's states when I was the whole moment, unidentified with my ego ... What a bliss ... For a second I felt the absolute of consciousness and tears came to me. It was indescribable.. I went to the mirror and looked into my eyes - shining with happiness, innocence and an inner child. Eyes of joy. I decided to go outside. As soon as I opened the door of the house and saw everything, I could not believe in amazement. How all this is magical ... Amazing ... Mysterious ... The streets looked like on another planet ... This is another thing that can not be described ... All lights, stars ... our life is the greatest gift you can get, the biggest a form of love, just a question of whether human can notice it ... I thought about my life. Important Lessons. Life is a present moment. Our human life is just a joke. We are a void that experiences itself through the human body. You have to accept death and live life to the fullest while our body is able to. Life is the greatest gift you can get. The largest form of love. The emptiness that accompanies us has a huge amount of happiness and joy. Pure Hapiness is effortless when nothing is left but a calm mind. Beauty is everywhere. The entire universe is a manifestation of love. It is sad that through the filters of the mind acquired by his human experience, man is unable to see the truth.

Some of our most profound insights come from profound situations. The unification of experience because it's produced by the same consciousness. a voice from the cosmic realm screeched at me and said "you are just a mortal. Your gregarious stupid narcissistic ego ruined whatever good I created in your name." peace closure seek. I think there are a lot of perspectives to life. One perspective does not encompass everything. There's nothing like a hell realm. Just don't believe in it.

Lately I've been into some cosmic stuff. Anything cosmic. Be it music. I literally dance to cosmic stuff. I am imagining myself as a bird with outstretched wings ready to fly. I'm looking into things that bring me closer to spirituality and away from materialism. All I can say it works. I'll also upload appropriate media that goes hand in hand with my cosmic spiritual ideas.. More to come.

(chatgpt) Mostly self respect and healthy communication. Address the Core Issue: Healthy Assertiveness It sounds like you're caught in a difficult balance between being open-minded and standing up for yourself.Open-mindedness is a valuable trait, but it shouldn't come at the expense of your own self-worth and the right to express your beliefs.True openness involves a two-way street – listening to others while also being heard and respected. Practical Strategies "I" Statements: Encourage yourself to express your views using "I" statements. For example, instead of "You always ignore my opinion," try "I feel unheard when my perspective isn't considered." Active Listening: Remind yourself that active listening is a two-way street. You should be actively listening to others while also expecting others to actively listen to you. Boundaries: identify and communicate your boundaries. For example, "I'm happy to discuss this with you, but I need you to acknowledge my perspective as well." Finding Common Ground: focus on finding common ground and areas of agreement, even when there are disagreements. Emphasize Self-Respect Remember that your opinions and beliefs are valid. You have a right to express them respectfully. It's okay to disagree with others, and it's okay to stand up for what you believe in. Prioritize your own well-being and self-respect in your interactions with others. Encourage Further Exploration This is a complex issue, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Perhaps exploring communication styles or assertiveness training could be helpful. Side note - In my personal experience if someone is going way beyond my perspective and I hit paradigm lock, that's when I get assertive and shut down the communication. You don't have to take in something that doesn't truly embody your inner values. Develop a strong framework of what you believe, your worldview, your traits and value system, your integrity and principles and follow your core beliefs. Be open to new things but only if they slightly improve your present perspective. Be pragmatic about this.

God is pure consciousness. Existential misery is a certainty. However God is not a figment of imagination as a cure to uncertainties in life. God is simply - be. -

Intuition is generally right in my experience. Often I did not listen to it. The problem is that we ignore it. I want to sharpen my intuition. But at the same time I want to strengthen cognitive reasoning which is just as important along with intuition. -
I just woke up. Woke up super early. Don't know why. Maybe bathroom break. I don't know remember getting nightmares. The next thing is to book an appointment with a psychiatrist for my fresh prescription. My mom and me take the same meds. We have similar mental issues. Hers is bipolar disorder. Mine is borderline. My stress is gone. Solution was to listen to some entertainment crap on YouTube and distract myself from stressful thoughts. I ordered a shit ton of junk food yesterday. Not good. Not good. My husband is helping me stay off it.

Time to go to bed. Says goodnight to myself. I love my new time table. I took my night meds. Today was an okayish day. I'm my hubby's carrot.

I ate eggs for dinner. And pancakes. I'm still feeling some frustration and stress.

Ordered eggs just now.

Feeling a bit better now. I was a bit stressed out before. Because of the nightmares.
