Will Bigger

If enlightenment is what you actually want, it is going to happen. But there's a very high probability that you don't actually want enlightenment. When life seems a miserable delusion to you, and I mean that you sincerely feel it is a miserable delusion which must be annihilated, then you will wake up quickly. Before that happens, life is pretty damn good- dreaming is damn fun, so why in the hell would you want to wake up yet? Right now, you're having a really interesting dream of being a spiritual seeker. It is very fun to be a seeker- you have all sorts of neat experiences, and get to construct a whole narrative about how your dream-spiritual journey is progressing in a dream world, edging you closer to some dreamt-up delusion about what "enlightenment" is. Actual Enlightenment is the end of that.

all except for: energy reading, soul, karma. The majority of others are real, but pointless. I’m gonna throw out some controversy and say psychedelics are mostly pointless too.

Guys, imo doing this with pen and paper is 100% more effective than just doing self enquiry with your mind. 2 Reasons: 1.) you won’t accidentally start meditating. 2.) you won’t get distracted if your attention is focused on writing. Watch the vid and let the master explain. Do this every day for an hour and you will wake up. ps: if resonates with you, this isn’t the one and only technique (duh). But it works for me .

Either you don’t believe the Truth, or you don’t believe anything. if you don’t believe anything: Truth is Reality.

appearances are consciousness made tangible.

the logic for a consciousness-only existence is... really solid. basically you only can be sure consciousness exists. so there's no reason to assume anything is outside consciousness so, instead, the regularities and consensus of life is because there is one consciousness, conscious of everything, holding it all in place. that's idealism. and then nonduality goes one step further: you are identical to that larger consciousness

peitgpeitgerjgorihjwryhgn did you catch that? the non-doer. the spacey fullness life is doing life

Consider the fact that you experience the nothingness of consciousness without an object every time you sleep.

That deserves context. Sadhgurus definition of enlightenment is much more gradiose than yours haha. Enlightenment is actually never attained, because always there is more development to be had.

Good idea. What’s the intention/ purpose behind the only thing which is existing? Well, you are consciousness. So a better question would be what your purpose for existing is. And you, as consciousness, get to decide that. if you don’t want a reason for existing, that it fine too! In fact, that may even be better, because now you can live spontaneously.

@StrangerWatch you can’t go beyond self-interest even as an enlightened person. To truly go beyond self-interest requires a level of development which is way, way (way) beyond just nonduality perception. Dont worry about it, and realize that seeking enlightenment is the most constructive thing you can do with your self interest.

Your doubt is well-founded. Where could the only thing which is come from?

Stop asking us and start asking yourself.

@kieranperez First off, be careful with that word “master.” The moment you call someone “master” you’re giving them more credit than your direct experience. True masters are like, so rare- ridiculously rare. Usually there are only a few alive at any given time. Second, to answer your question, no.

No reason.

As a rule of thumb, opening the third eye chakra is for acquiring siddhis, not becoming enlightened. If siddhis aren’t part of your paradigm, or even if they are, i would not recommend chasing them in the least. Actually I highly recommend not chasing them. Chasing spiritual powers can make you lose your mind, literally. And , it’ll distract you from waking tf up. I don’t know about the other chakras.

There isn’t a problem with thinking of reality as a dream. It’s also not “both a dream and not a dream.” That’s ridiculous. ❤️You joseph.

Whatever you’re experiencing right now is reality.

They’re real. Your brain doesn’t have the capability to create mental images. So naturally you’d need something else for that. I mean just think about it. The brain is just a lump of matter. It’s not like we believe computers have thoughts.

When you get really serious about enlightenment, and you’re at a point where you feel like you *need* it rather than just think of it as a side-pursuit, you may begin to look for a secret lineage to give you some badass technique to wake up quickly. I just want to briefly warn you, that if the guru or lineage you’re interested in says anything about gaining “powers” through their techniques, then they are worthy of extreme suspicion. I won’t say names here, but watch out. I’m not referring to the resent “transmission” advocates who have supposedly become enlightened and posted on here. What I’m referring to is any lineage which says you’ll gain siddhis and whatnot by doing their thing. also, if a guru tells you that powers=enlightenment, they’re telling you a lie. This is a very good video. Yes, Sadhguru suggests you may develop certain abilities on the path, but he completely dismisses them.

Pretty much all the new age bs you refer to is: 100% real... but also... 110% pointless and a waste of time. I take the Sadhguru position. I have strong reason and to believe such things are real, but stronger reason to believe they are irrelevant.

Meditate while you dream.

Don’t worry about it. Keep meditating and stop smoking weed.

@Ruby White why do you assume this is safe? If I were you, I’d consider the possibility that I’m being tricked- told things which sound good (things I want to hear) while I’m being energetically drained. Please be careful! And next time you watch a channeler, pay careful attention to their mannerisms and facial expressions. That may indicate something unsettling. I’d also make sure to watch some David Hawkins videos on the dangers of the astral planes, if I were you.

yes. do it.
