Weed takes me to heaven, and I've had many insights on the substance. I notice how in normal state of consciousness all the beauty around me mostly keeps getting ignored.

My attempt to clarify my current spiritual practice in the most clear and simple way I can. The Mind - As I use the term here, I mean the entity that is created under the identification with being the body and/or the identification with the I thought. It uses past to feed itself and grow. By being identified with the mind state means basically to be trapped in our own conditioning as a human entity. The true self: The ever present, untouched by conditioning, most intimate you. That which was never born to die, unlike the bodymind. By my spiritual practice my attempt is to increasingly notice and live from that place, aka Atman. With the cessation of mind, the Atman is revealed. By self inquiry and other awareness exercises, I find myself living more at peace than ever before, because I am able to break the patterns of the mind repeatedly, which will eventually (I hope) cause it to crumble under the pressure forever. Tell me if I got it wrong or if you have any tips to help, apart from taking a psychedelic, which I'm already aware can be greatly beneficial.

As a trigger, your post enlightens me

Can there be a separate center of consciousness? Where does consciousness begin? Where does it end?? It's the placeless place, that's why it's infinite.

Can there be a center of consciousness? The ego says yes, I am the center of consciousness. But the Ego is not yet aware of it's non-existence.

Man i have to share for this thread. I had one night that I was falling asleep in which I could hear from within the most epic children songs from my own language, full blast,it was like my inner child was giving me a concert and showing his power. Ive also experienced hearing Ekhart Tolle while falling asleep and also I had this feeling that im about to die and I was losing control of my hands.

YE but would be fake, wouldn't it. I don't love everyone yet like Martin :-D still deluded here Or you mean the " fake it till you make it" technique. I use it with smiling, it actually works, i become happier by fake smiling and then it becomes real :-D

I thought it was good hehehehehehee. I always edit my post, Leo's gonna remove that candy too some day. I dont even remember now what I wrote, so would be nice. But anyway, good night It's gonna be great if you wake uptomorrow and realise the projections you place on me

Nice save >:) It has gone full circle heheheh When you're telling me "You still don't get it" are you talking to me, awareness or me, Ego -illusory entity? If you're talking to Ego then if Ego gets it or not who cares? Only the Ego. If you're talking to me as awareness, you're talking to yourself? heheheehe

Np. Also waste it, it's not real. If you're not enjoying the present, maybe you need to wait for some high pitch noise in your ears. Do you think you have the truth? Can see 10 miles away the Ego scent in your postings. Anyone can learn these things and even teach them, it doesn't work though, if you're dipping everything in the nasty sauce of Ego and separation. Awakening on the level of mind is only the beginning!

Just to clarify, by mind ceasing I dont mean braindead. Im sure if you plug in someone who is in a no-mind state, you will get a lot of brain signals hehe By cessation of mind I mean the end with identification with thoughts, even the thoughts that I supposedly am making, like these right now. By cessation of mind I mean letting the thoughts be, but no longer energising with your identification. By cessation of mind I mean letting the river flow and rising above and beyond it. You can rise so high you see better rivers, or stop seeing rivers altogether. All that you're saying has been fed to me by golden spoon, it's not news.

Indeed [deleted crappy attempt by Ego to show how baws I am] ^ Wow, how baws is that.

And why? Isn't being happy the goal of a spiritual seeker? Is there more? What could be more than happiness. Quiz incoming!

Sorry cant post quiz cause forum redirects me. No battery phone down!

I gave up on giving up

Thought it was the start of an enlightenment experience Turns out it was a lightning experience

And he wasn't even going to recruit me. *cries*

This is why my approach to Enlightenment, ever since I found out it is always here and is the simplest thing, is to just investigate that in my experience, which is changeless and simple. I have no clue in my mind whether I'm on the right path or not (doing the right things or not), but as you said, my intuition is leading me here. I measure my success by the amount of peace in challenging situations.

Awesome, loving this. I would give you the simplest advice, which you probably already know. It's the nondual weapon of acceptance. Conscious breathing. Let your stories explode through the power of your breath. Let them sit, they are groundless, and cannot outlast you. Hehe, you seem to be on the right track. Right behind you brother. Create space in your everyday.

@bernieboy20 Even my csgo character has isness to him, and he is a bunch of pixels. You dont have to exist in order to be Nobody said it wouldn't be paradoxical. Only in paradox can we let it go. Otherwise the yes is going to fight with the no, and the no will fight back and the yes will go again, and so on. Why not just cut the crap and be happy and inlove with our own existence and experience.

First hand experience is more true than anything society has told you. Being is true for anyone, how can it not be? You're coming from a very negative mind space, but beware. My mind is not dead, and I am pretty sure by the response you gave me that you did not even apply your mind very much. Being is only true for me? I said absolutely everything is. Your mind aint ready to hear that everything is perfect. Its good. Own it. Furthermore I want to add that you're doing this whole post for the sole purpose to be right. It's an ego boosting technique. My knowledge stops at the default, being. I dont claim to know something you dont. Maybe i will say i know other stuff, but is bullshit as u say

Idk, for me it's not about writing a dissertation and proving stuff about consciousness. The only thing that matters is whether you are free from mind or not. Whether you can live in continuous unbroken peace of (from) mind. I think we regularly ask the wrong questions. We're way too scientific sometimes, want to explain everything hehe, we don't want to be "dumb".

Promise me guys, when we become Voltron-God we create existence where we have 1 million times more than we need. We don't need the struggle game Come on guys, why do we need the struggle game. Let's scrap Maya altogether, I think very poor project. Trully Yours, Brahman

Let's get super real. Enlightenment is not about proving any sort of truth to anyone other than yourself. If you want the path, you'll walk it. If you don't, there are other paths open for you. Being has to be the most liberating realization and experience one can discover, and it's so simple. The Enlightenment I am referring to *(liberation) and the Enlightenment you are referring to *(some magical out of body experience) are two very different things. Beware in the future that people might have different definitions. So yeah, being is, isness is real, at the same time, it's not happening to anyone - I mean go and find the one it's happening to That's it, we are all enlightened, we are all being.

Nothingness also doesn't exist, but it's real! Also the magic moments are the ordinary moments!!! And thank you that you are so sorry to break it to us.
