Im not sweeping anything under the rug consciously, but who knows what I'm doing on a deeper level that I am unaware of yet...

Experiencing God / the true nature of the self

I love things to be simple, straight and to the point. I like that being is exactly that and your post also!

Most definitely, I struggle with that, because I'm too lazy... But I try to remember my dreams and write to a friend on facebook usually about them But it's better with pen and paper for sure

I like meditation in the park (but right now it's a bit too cold for me). Also meditation I'm an advocate for meditation in dreams (now that's a different environment for you :D), I've heard meditation in lucid dreaming is much stronger than normal meditation. I would guess if one is really masterful in lucid dreaming, he could create a pyramid in his own dream and go meditate inside it for a maybe insane result

The mind is everything if you take the mind to be the subject and object of experience.. But isnt this spirituality thing about subject being not-mind, from which leads that mind is not everything, but an illusion aka nothing? Isnt this why we talk about the spiritual heart and not the spiritual mind? Otherwise I agree with you on Katie, i personally always felt she's a fraud, a shark, but I haven't seen too much of her anyway, not really interesting from what ive seen.

Yeah i mean i said immediate God, not ultimate ? i dont xpext God to be a 4th dimensional being, because if there is a 4th, there is a 5th and so on to infinity. Games of creation, while God, the infinite and 0th dimension, both is all things and experiences all things in all dimensions at once, I'd bet. 0 and infinity are the only two no-things. Everything else is object.

It also looks like we are inside the neural network of a single 4th dimensional being who is our immediate God (the next step up) and he is probably doing a lot of 4th dimensional drugs considering the state of things :D Hope he gets an intervention soon

This makes me think i am the unconscious God of my own universe and my minions are suffering due to my ignorance I'll be quick to send them peace and love, energy and wisdom.

Hmm objective reality can exist even outside our perception if there is a God-subject that is always perceiving everything. So in that case, if a tree falls and there is no one (aka only God) around to hear it, does it make a sound? Hellsyeah! Because NoOne is everywhere and experiences absolutely everything that could be perceived. But this is a bit out there isnt it. Just for me it looks like it falls on what we are talking about here, nothingness and infinity, which allows illusion to be reality to another illusion.

What i am thinking about here and thought about before is Flat earth vs Round earth. By first hand experience we should not believe its round or that there even is a planet. Just the room I am in currently exists, nothing outside it. Not only that, but just the perception of the room can be verified and not the rooms existence itself. Truth within the dream (science) has for a base root something supposedly unreal (the dream itself). Which means that science may perfectly explain how it all works, but it will just be an explanation of something unreal to begin with, so ultimately it is false. But within the context of the dream, imo, it's true. If you want to go deeper into truth you need to first find who is looking for truth. Science focuses on the objects and spirituality focuses on the eternal subject. Both play a game of adventure and when they meet, become one (my projection). Logic is half truth, it cannot be without it's counterpart. Focusing entirely on the here and now is helpful to concentrate and function best I guess. And also points to what we need to explore ourselves and see if its true. That we are conciousness itself and only that is real. Not planets, people, etc, these are dreams. Or at least thats my current working hypothesis as a human entity within a suspect dream

This is a solid idea for bestselling book righ there. Very entertaining and thought provoking. For all we know we are all in a ship, asleep/tripping out on something, travelling or just paid for an experience. However, just like in the Matrix, this is not such a deep rabbit hole. If we are Infinite beings having the human experience for whatoever reason, when we wake up as the Krull, it is a false awakening, we are still the infinite being having a Krull experience. Maybe a much better experience, but still off the mark to the truth of who we are.

I bet it does it with the sole purpose to create experiences and adventures

Wow dude, you start with a big bang, amazing first post. Very clear and helpful!! Thanks a lot for this.

Lol me too, i had just one false awakening but still.. Not the important bit. I freaking talked with Leo on skype or something, not once but twice, 1 on 1 friendly satsang where he got me to realise that I am everything,like experientially within the dream I felt unstoppable and kept that wisdom with me throughout the happenings, trumping any fear. He was allowing anyone to call him and just talk, given one condition - no preparation. Super deep dream. He said something cool that was like a motto for life, but I cant currently remember. If I do, I'll update this. It was super cool ? The conversations were epic

Dreams can best show us what we are afraid of. Sometimes when we are not conscious of our fears, we tend to think we are the terminator. Recent days I've been having nightmare-ish dreams, which is awesome, because I feel good when I wake up and realise they were not real. (I imagine spiritual enlightenment will feel the same times 10000 in satisfaction :D) I am also trying to have lucid dreams - I've had before, but I think weed and cigarettes fucked up my ability. Now I have stopped the drugs and am cleaning out my system. Will see if I get there again. What you said is very true about the intent while going to sleep. You should read Charlie Morley's book on Lucid Dreaming, if you haven't! It is a true masterpiece and will definitely help you get those lucid dreams on a regular basis and it's good to know about the dream cycles and many other things in there! (It's also about spirituality, one of the first spirituality books I've read - I will revisit it soon) Your comment has reminded me to put more effort in lucid dreaming, because it's one of the best things. Thanks! PS: Here's one simple method (of many) from the book that I will try tonight and you should try too (if you're as hyped as me :D)- * Set your alarm to sound after 4 or 5 hours of sleep * Try to jot down any dreams you remember * Go right back to sleep (for the next 3-4 hours) and while falling asleep concentrate on the sensations in the body, where the body touches the bed, inner sensations etc, basically just meditate while falling asleep and with the intent to have a lucid dream. This should make it 10 times easier for you to be lucid, because you will fall right into a dream, because you wont go into deep sleep, but directly into dreaming - you might even experience Hypnagogia and how the dream forms and "surf" into it (I used to experience hypnagogia every time I was falling asleep, but again, drugs fucked it up - the funny thing is I had to read about hypnagogia and try to be conscious of it in order to experience it, it's like magic , before reading I never knew it existed even though it was so easy to see)

Touche There was also the bit that the latter part of the dream began by me becoming jelous and running away from a girlfriend that really broke my heart irl too. Teaches me non of the epic adventures would be possible with a gf ? Or you know, that something bad at the moment is not necessarily bad considering the bigger picture, but nah, i think its the first explanation At the end of the dream i returned to her and said : hope you had your fun with that guy. You have no idea what happened to me out there!!

Recently I experience pain in that region as stated in title whenever I look up and especially when I look up and then to the right and to the left. Is this just the case of eye strain or something related to the 6th chakra? Anyone else experiencing this or have knowledge in this? Thank you. Oops this should probably go in Alternative Healing section.

Is all good man, no matter how egoic i still am compared to most actualisers, I am an ego that is not attached to this form and even secretly hope death comes quicker, i mean, i cannot die, so maybe death will actually be awesome. This life feels to me like a waste, but I do enjoy while im here. I dont really want to prolong it

I feel it as a solid pain on the inside, as in the whole front of my brain is being ministabbed, but going to try that anyway.

I am currently provoking it too, its a weird feeling. Its definitely pain, but I keep on looking there, because i dont want to feel like it's bitch I cant provoke it just by concentrating on the area. It feels like a wound from a knife in my third eye, which is weird cause i have this distant memory that my third eye was destroyed to protect me from other realms or something. But yeah the memory is probably bullshit

Yes they are all feelings, but how come is it groundless for some to be better than others? Ofcourse some are better, nobody wants to feel hungry, even if it is just a sensation. It's pain, any pain is worse than any pleasure. Just because one does not create story around pain to lead to more suffering doesn't mean that he wouldn't change that pain in an instant if given the opportunity.

This is to help you with the monkey mind problem. When you catch yourself thinking, focus on breath and then if you like into the inner body sensations. Also you can google for Mooji guided meditations and do a bit of those too - they are masterful. I bet you wont regret. Have fun with meditation, its not really a chore, or shouldn't be. Meditation as a habit is fine, at least for me. Nowadays I find myself thoroughly enjoying my sessions, it feels like a quality experience of being alive without need for anything external - wheras if I play a pc game for example, while it is fun, I dont feel like im as alive during the act.

No one who?

If a thought is making you unhappy, and you cant help others, its better to not think it. But what Byron Katie supposedly is doing is turning a negative thought into a positive one and spreading that thought (which is designed to make her happy), which in my opinion is wrong, because it might affect people who actually can help world hunger.
