My brother is severely autistic and he is probably the most happy person I know. He walks around happily humming to himself outside for hours. Anyone’s idea that autistic people are tortured by there thoughts is total bullshit. A lot of autistic people are probably more spiritually developed than the rest of the population.

@Aftermarket Kundalini energy is really bliss energy but it gets stuck in any emotional traumas or addiction blockages first which causes life to be pretty chaotic. Your going to really have to work through your issues and lay down healthy habits if you want your life to be more stable. Doing nofap works great I find. It will probably take a while to

@Joseph Maynor your not as enlightened as you think you are. Otherwise you wouldn’t be wasting so much of your time defending yourself

@Moreira when did being enlightened or actualized have anything to do with having good social skills.. it’s just a random skill like cooking, sports, or music lol

Yeah I have, about a year ago. Felt like I dropped heaps of MDMA which lasted almost a day. I don't recommend forcing it like I did. Was probably doing way to much self enquiry before it happened, so was getting heaps of aniexty and confusion. The last year has also been pretty frustrating as I had quite a few emotional blockages from past trauma. The energy always gets stuck in my head which makes it really difficult to concentrate on things. I can get really anxious when in social situations to. In some ways it's good though because it forces you to practice healthy habbits otherwise life becomes too overwhelming.

Nice one, watch out here come the spiritual comebacks. I mean shit like a blind person becoming a race car driver. Many of the people born poor countries who do not have many luxeries. The list could go on really. Maybe you should do a bit of travelling and see some of the types of areas that are out there, and the lifestyles people are forced into.

@Nahm that’s definetly not the total truth. In reality LOA is just a practice that might make someone more inspired and hence more likely to take action. I think LOA forgets that everyone has different gifts and circumstances that will significantly impact the results you get.. some dreams are literally impossible for some people. Don’t fall into the bullshit LOA marketing tactics even if they do sound nice. Let’s be realistic

I have been having a debate against a Christian who believes Jesus raise from the dead. Do you guys believe it? What do you think on the whole story......

Sure they can be. Many people have 9-5 they enjoy. For example I just got a 9-5 job as a electrical engineer which I find interesting and challenging. I’m actually looking forward to work tomorrow

Hi there, I was wondering if purchasing the life purpose course would be worth it given my current situation. I have recently completed my masters degree in engineering (having previously completed bachelor in electrical engineering) and looking for some type of engineering work. I would prefer working in an area related to electrical engineering or software development, however this is clear as my vision gets. So my question to people who have done the course: What kind of information will the course provide me and will it give me a better life direction? Thanks in advance

@electroBeam that's perfectly normal and you may experience the same sort of thing for a long time (maybe forever). As time goes on you will probably accept these fluctuations more. The main issue your having is that you are desiring a particular state/outcome which is a illusion in your mind. Spiritual work is about being completely content with how you feel, regardless if it's bliss or aniexty.

Don't persuade people into giving up on enlightenment. There is definitely a point in time where one wakes up, which you can call enlightenment. I experienced this and it changed my entire view on life... Do your research on spiritual awakening/enlightenment before you make such stupid statements about 'giving up'.

Well it really sounds like you need to be more mindful of how your ego is tricking you. Why are you trying to get so much validation from everyone? Obviously you lack self love and you need to dive deep into this. Why do you think other people will make you happy? Are you trying to get love from others to avoid loving yourself? Once you actually start being ok with yourself, regardless of social status and everything else, people will actually start to respect you. You need to show humbleness by being ok with all aspects of yourself, including your aniexties and social differences. Once this happens you will be surprised by the attention you start to get, but by this point in your delevelopment the attention won't even matter much. I also advise you to stop posting on this forum so much looking for answers. It's just another way your ego is trying to distract you from doing the real inner work. The answers you want come from you (the awareness) not anybody else. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can overcome things.

As someone who sounds like I had a similar mindset (I probably have aspergers to), the other guys are right about your going to have to suffer a lot. You posting on here is a sign of your resistance, as only a ego would post such things. I had to go through some very scary times to overcome most of anxieties. I've been through a lot with past issues and I had to bring them all up and embrace them. Very hard times were I felt a bit crazy and was starting to question my mental health, but thats just ego. My advice is to fail miserable at at your social desires, fail at talking to girls, fail at approaching and then embrace what comes up. I won't lye, its not easy, I have cried through bouts of intense depression multiple times the last couple of months. However the good news is that, each time your surrender to your ego, it slowly starts to lose its power.

After a bit of research I've realized that there is a strong relationship between highly sensitive people 'HSPs' and spirituality/enlightenment (or maybe self-actualization in general). So just wondering how many of you people are highly sensitive? I would definitely say I am and its made me more spiritually minded.

Breathing in that good ass prana baby

Enlightenment is not a experience, its just another way of perceiving the world. So if all your looking for so extreme experience I'd say go smoke some meth.

If you want to put a end to suffering, yes

I don't think there's anything wrong with porn, if you do then your just clinging to some idea in your head. If you watch it with complete detachment you will be totally ok with it.

@Martin123 Yeah it would be for a lot of people (as it was for me), but I don't think thats a bad thing. I was one of the people who had a very screwed up ego due to upbringing, not being able to relate to people and addiction. Continuously doing all the self-inquiry type practices caused some intense moments of anxiety and I felt like a was going insane like you mention. However I just endured it all because I was fed up with my ego pushing me around all the time. After my ego finally giving up and a series of awakenings, I have no regrets of taking that sort of direct route.

Truth is enlightenment is really simple and nothing extraordinary about it, most people on this forum don't even want it because they love taking there ego seriously. Thats why its so hard for most egos to accept it, because 'you' really don't get anything from it. It's just the realization that you are awareness (which you have always been) and that you don't have any control of the content that arises in your mind. Therefore your ego and thoughts don't even really change after enlightenment realization sorry to say, however there won't be any need to take any of it seriously.

@Martin123 Are you enlightened? If your not, then why do you think your ideas about it are right? What if there's no correct way of becoming enlightened? What if this whole thread is just another way to mentally masturbate and serves no purpose what so ever?

Just google or YouTube how meditation changes the brain.

Aware, maybe if you want people to listen to your ideas at least try to write like your not some historic Buddha risen from the dead. It screams spiritual ego because there's no need to write like that, we don't live in the time of Jesus. Just trying to help

It takes time to retrain your brain. Remember that before you got into personal development you have probably had bad habits for most of your life. You can't just undo all of that just like that, you need to keep at it until your brain gets the message. Falling off track in the beginning is unavoidable.
