That things have, produce or procure consciousness is the material paradigm.

Because nothing, you, and consciousness aren’t separate things such that nothing could work in making you more conscious.

@VeganAwake ?? Can’t think the way to thought detachment / no mind.

It’s how the sphere of the world literally ‘self’ perpetuates.

@Growly Haven’t listened to anything by him.

@Endangered-EGO Might not be the absence of it either. What’s it or absence anyways.

@Growly Framing the thoughts as intrusive leads to the aversion. Listening to the thoughts, and what feeling is ‘telling you’, leads to alignment. When I say ‘leads to’ I mean instantaneously feeling a bit better and better with each aligned thought. Also, consider, it’s effortless to put different material in front you which resonates and feels good. YouTube Abrham Hicks. Listen for a day or two. Your whole life will change.

@HERO_ If you’re working on your life but still believing the thoughts that you hate yourself and your life sucks, you’ll keep experiencing the strong pull to instant gratification to cope with the discord of those thoughts. What’s being coped with isn’t actually anything about you or your life, they’re perfect as is. It’s the beliefs being coped with. Expecting to hold these beliefs, outlooks, and attitudes and feel better is expecting feeling to line up with your thoughts & beliefs. You might say this is a spiritual stubbornness. Won’t work. ‘Empty your cup’, recognize more and more the truth of not knowing (rather than believing you know, even these things about yourself). Your inner being loves you and your life unconditionally, and is unlimited in power to everything you want in your life. When you revisit those beliefs about yourself & your life, what you’re feeling which most label anxiety, depression, etc, is that power, that truth, the Goodness you truly are. One way to ‘cut through’ this, is to create a dreamboard and see for yourself the universe isn’t thinking any of this heavy stuff, it just wants to play, love, be loved, and have as much fun as possible. As conditioning comes up and out, suffering & discomfort of it can be easily mitigated through deeper understanding of emotions, and willingness and spending some time with expression. When one is accustomed to focusing on unwanted, improv writing is a simple way to reorient thought and align with the actuality of the yesness of source. The other tools here like creative writing, poetry, and dream journaling all come into play and serve you & the dream for your life within you so well. Be most careful not to believe the thoughts about these experiences, and instead, experience them. These tools will change your life.

Just because this is so fun, so to speak, doesn’t equate to that being ‘not fun’.

@BipolarGrowth For sure. Also, the interactions with people who haven’t experienced any of ‘this stuff’ is amazing. Ime, the glimpses of infinity become ‘the norm’ in way. The reiki symbols serve as a connection, or ‘downloads’ bridge. What people experience or call telepathy, clairvoyance, etc, telling them stuff there’s obviously no way I could know about them, is actually a “extra dimensions” reiki symbol “shown” in mind, with the characteristics of the symbol like shape, time, color, how the symbols appears, or is written, conveying the ‘message’. Very ‘out of this world’ experiences right in the ol’ norm of ‘this world’. Like where psychedelics ‘get you to’, just crystal clear and without psychedelics. Communication, telepathy wise, symbols are powerful in that they are instant and convey everything feeling, emotion, thought, cognition, etc conveys, just with a single instant symbol. It’s like it’s ‘gotten’ or ‘known’ without the process of cognition. ‘Spirit’ to ‘spirit’ direct, if you will.

Maybe that’s also as inconceivable, but still seeming conceivable.

Why it Seems Like My Consciousness is In My Body My, my, my.

Very cool!

If psychedelics decrease identification with ego, what substances increase it? ”thinking”.

Dreamboard. ??

@The0Self ? Die into the honing it, as if a prism, through intention for someone who could use the love. It’ll flush it out. Pinnacle experience ime.

@BipolarGrowth ? For sure. I bet you’d LOVE Reiki classes. @mandyjw Hear & a cross... ??

@Pateedm ? Indeed. Here’s a deep gem...”the other guy” ?

Yep. All an illusion, exempt for the bad stuff and the suffering.

@SamC Sounds like you’re pretty open minded topically and are inspecting your perspectives honestly. Maybe take the triggers you mentioned and look to your relationships present & past. Maybe consider the parent situation in childhood between parents, from one to the other and peach one with you was like. Sometimes we don’t want people to have what we didn’t have, and they seem entitled. All ironically paradoxically boils down to the most abundant ‘substance’ there is. Could also be related to a discordant reality sized belief that’s hanging low in your day to day, going unnoticed. That could be anything from belief in pressure or urgency, to doership or efforting.

@vedame Sounds like it’s clearing out, really working for you, awesome. There is a ‘practice’ that comes to mind which might fall perfectly in line following what you’ve mentioned. It’s a foundation of walking meditation, and after getting comfortable with that, while walking choose something off in the distance directly in front of you, a good ways away. Stare at that thing, and only stare at that thing. Don’t try to intensify seeing, allow it to be completely relaxed. Relax the crown, the forehead, the eye sockets, cheeks, jaw, etc, while ‘putting all of your attention’ to that thing in the distance. If you notice a thought arising and ‘getting’ some attention, acknowledge the noticing of it and shift all attention back to the seeing / focusing on the thing in the distance. I have a hunch that the third or fourth time you do this you’ll love the experience. I wouldn’t look for anything in or about perception to change btw, but allowing perception to be seen as it is, without the thin transparent overlay of thought.

None of us can tell you this obviously. You must go and meet with a truykinlian which resides on the seventh most outer ring of planet Krepison.

Nonduality & ego-mind is two.

Great insights! I would add concentration can never be enough because it already is enough.
