The mundane become magical and utterly satisfying. Just sitting doing nothing can feel amazing. When you don't have a story in your head telling you otherwise of course

Yeah I guess, I never took one so I can't recommand something I don't know anything about mate ^^ I want to add, it needs to be a lucid dream where you feel that everything is mind stuff, not just one where you do everything you want as it is usually depicted. @Raven1998

It's not what you think it is. Everything you experience is inside of you, inside your mind (not the human mind, god mind). If you had a lucid dream once, you would understand conceptually what we're talking about (so get one)

When you see ... Some of your old posts ...

Leoism ?????? I hope this won't become a thing, and if it does It's gonna be one of the best laugh of my life ????

You died a thousands of time already. You just tell yourself it doesn't count cause it happens in your "dreams".

Why not ?

That's something I asked for weeks several years ago, I was like "How could I be someone else than my past selves, after all I always have been me, but at the same time I completely changed psychologically, so how could I be the same ?" Contemplated that for a long time, and never became unconscious after that.

This All the answers are inside, and if they don't come from inside they are basically worthless (concerning your emotional wellbeing). You can know everything you want about anything you're struggling if you take the time and the emotional labor to find out why, by contemplating the emotions directly. Usually those answers aren't easy to accept, you don't want to hear them, and this is another reason why it takes so much consciousness and energy to find out. Most people would rather forget about it or rationalize it by blaming something or someone. It's the difference between putting a bandage or putting alcohol on the wound. If you only put a bandage on the wound, it only gonna gets worse, but if you put alcohol and accept the momentary pains, it heals

Take the Life purpose course. If you know your purpose and get on track with it, this is a non-issue.

IT IS TIME TO DANCE !!!

What you think is reality is also a belief. Since you know, you're having thoughts about what it's supposed to be ??

Do you consider google map as useless when you want to travel ? If you want to go somewhere by using google map, you can't just look at the screen though, you actually have to walk to the direction it points to.

No that's pure experience, except the part when I answered to your question, that I said I don't really know.

I'm not awakened, just very aware of self-deception mechanisms. If I can fool myself that I'm awake in my dreams, I don't see why I couldn't fool myself right now. The question you ask won't make sense until you awaken though, it's not the kind of question you can just believe from someone else answer, it's not really gonna answer it

It's only incredibly inconsistent when you wake up as a human being wondering what the fuck it was. Also, consider that you never know when you're dreaming, unless you become lucid in the dream. There is also dream within dreams in your dreams, you wake up into another one thinking you're awake ... Maybe you've never awoken from this current dream, and thus call it "reality" (since you don't know any better) ...

No, you can do both, just heavily focus on what you think you need to grow practically on. Just meditate 20 minutes a day, and walk in the forest or something for about 30 minutes everyday without any distraction. You're basically saying "I prefer to stay insane for 20 more years and suffer everytime something doesn't go my way, because xyz says that it's in the xyz stage that spirituallity should start". "I prefer to focus on xyz now, so I can start being happier later !" Realize the stupidity of those sentences

"You should have seen your sister in an ecstatic state of consciousness"

Don't forget that the way you experience life now is not obvious or even considered as an option for some people. For the op, monkey mind doesn't exist, it is the truth and everything is seen through that lens right now. So telling him to just sit and be conscious of his direct experience, to see that everything is and can only be in his direct experience isn't gonna work. That's one of the reason so many spiritual guide use koans or metaphor that makes zero sense, it is done in order to open the mind. They don't tell you to do some hardcore comtemplation work, because they know 99,99% of people can't do it, they aren't in the correct perspective to be able to do that. Watch again the ego developement video series ?
