who's wrong though? the universe? no one choses who they are, no one choses their personality, their reactions, the energy and impulses they feel, their sexuality, their race, their parents. you could say murderers and rapers could not murder and not rape but that's denying what is. they do murder and rape so who's fault is it that they feel the need to do that? did they engine their bodies and mind to react like this? what is, is, and everything that is should be accepted in my book. are saints really saints? are killers really killers? one could have been a saint in a life, and in the life before that or the previous lives before that a murderer/rapist. same the other way, a murderer in this life could be a saint in the next. if you look beyond the illusion of death things get a little less black and white

all of it is pain and suffering. there is nothing wrong with the way world is. but there is nothing wrong with the way you view the world either, it's part of your spiritual growth to go through this negativity the first step to enlightenment is realizing the gap between your current intelligence and the intelligence of the universe, which is infinite. not only to humble yourself, but open your mind to new perspective. the world as it is, is an empty circumstance, you assign the meaning you want to it, the illusion is that one might think that the world has inherent meaning and you're merely observing what's going on. This is the illusion most of us are under. You are the creator. You can see the glass as half full or half empty, this is really what this stuff comes down to. Positive or negative. You can chose to see the bad in the world and believe in that or you can chose to see the good and believe in that. the problem is that negativity is of lower intelligence, it leads to fear, distinction, separation, conflict and self-violence and violence. While positivity is of higher intelligence, it leads to open-mindedness, connection, exploration,curiosity, clarity. it's hard to get this, if you don't get how deep and overwhelming the meaning you assign to the world shapes your awareness of it. I've done a lot of psychedelics so I explored states of being where I felt completely peaceful, sometimes in complete bliss, in the same world that I thought was so shitty. How could I feel so good if the world was so ''fucked up'' as I used to think? it made it easier for me to realize the deep impact my view of the world has on the way I experience it. I'm a thousand miles away from needing psychedelics to feel good about the world now,I can assure you that if you open your heart and your mind, to positive definitions about the world, you will be amazed by the things you will understand. this world is amazing, but it takes you to raise your intelligence to get why it is, it takes you to raise your sensibility, so it takes you to raise your spiritual vibration and you will get all that. You need to grow spiritually to get what's going on and why it's going on. it's a matter of trust, you can't make these spiritual insights come down to you if you keep believing in negative stuff that you make you feel bad. this knowledge won't flow down to you while you're hanging on these dark ideas about the world. first you need to release these concepts, and be in a state of openness, a state of not knowing. to be able to be in a state where you consciously know that you don't know shit about the world and about what's going on in it is the highway to spiritual growth. literally objectively you are not wrong, if the world feels shitty to you then it is shitty. but know that the world is not a static circumstance, it could be an amazing place, you are the one creating your awareness of the world....the world could feel amazing or it could feel shitty, there is no truth,there is no right or wrong, you chose how the world is, that's your power as a creator of your own reality. I really mean it, I had a few months where my mantra, my way of growing was constantly repeating to myself : ''I don't know shit, I don't know anything, I don't know shit about what's going, I have not a single clue what is going on, I know nothing, nothing at all, I know nothing, call me Jon snow'' slowly as I practiced a humble state of not knowing did I start to actually know more. you have to be humble and open-minded to receive knowledge from your higher self. how can you grow spiritually if you think you've got the world figured out? where is the space to grow if you think you know everything about how the world works? How could you possible learn something new if you think you're on to everything? be aware of that

there's an infinite amount of senses beyond our dimension it's just hard to imagine a sense you don't have

hey if you're feeling bad then leave it, the video might've been enough for you and just what you needed. on the other side when you dive into stuff this deep it's important to know that you're not supposed to ''get it'' all, don't worry if you don't 'grasp it'' on a conscious level because I can assure you that on a subconscious level you are grasping everything, no matter how complex it seems, and you will absorb and use the information in a way that you cannot predict, by new insights in the future, new behaviors , new perspectives. it's never really about what you read on the surface, or what you see on the surface, acquiring a higher vibration is not a concept that you ''get'', it's more like getting in touch with energies that make you dive into higher vibration. when you learn something from a teacher or so, you are resonating and tuning your vibration to them, the message itself doesn't really matter, it seems to matter, but it's only a bridge for an energetic process. can you perhaps tell me one or two noticeable things/lessons/information that you remember from the book, that stayed with you? keep this in mind when you indulge with material that seems ''too advanced'', nothing is ever too advanced for you, never. but again always follow your heart feelings, if something feels bad, you did good to back off

What is wrong with such a twelve year old? the twelve year old with cheetos might have helpful insights one never thought of, one has to keep the quality of infinity in mind. One might be 12 years old but you don't know how old their souls are, insights can come from everywhere. That's why it's important to be open-minded and trust. To practice trust towards others, specifically strangers, is a great way to grow spiritually, it's a way to dive into your quality of love.

there couldn't be a better setting....most folks pop lsd during parties at night surrounded by drunk and drugged strangers and even so only a minority has bad lsd trips, most of them have fun. so you'll be absolutely fine this way, you're informed, you're careful, you have your own space, just enjoy the adventure

I'm trying to attest for this, to share an important realization that you are completely unique in more ways then you imagine. I want to talk about how we see the world. Before I started to enlighten, when I was still fighting my depression, my vision of the world was static. Meaning the colors, the cars, the faces of people, the things I see in my life, I thought they were objective, and that everyone saw the things in the same way as I do. I thought that the world looked the way it did for everyone in it. After doing some mild dmt trips that helped me reach a conclusion in my depression, my vision started changing, lights got brighter, things looked more eerie and mystical. I suspected my third eye opened, or that the dmt trips had some lasting effect. You could say both. But after stopping the dmt trips, my vision still continued to develop. Lights didn't get brighter, otherwise I'd be overwhelmed by this point, but they got lively. Day after day after day small vision changes. lights more lively, sights more eerie, like being a mild shroom trip. This has been a steady process this past year. At some point though it accelerated so much I've arrived in a completely different dimension. With the same concepts of ''props'', I still recognize a car as a car, a person as a person, a tree as a tree, but they don't look anything like they did before. It's not just light, it's like this huge dimension and weight is added to everything, there's way more space, everything started to look as complex and beautiful as a painting, now it's beyond a painting, everything looks dreamlike. It didn't stop at vision, sounds are completely enhanced, people's emotions are 50 times more complex and absorbing. I see emotions I never saw before in people. It's like going from 3D, to 4D, to 5D, because every day it just keeps changing, it never stopped. And what I see today is literally different then what I saw 3 days ago. will it continue to accelerate? where will it go?! sometime I see people walking around and their faces, the structure of their body, is so complex and interesting that the word ''alien'' used to come to mind. Nowadays when I see someone the word ''alien'' doesn't come to mind anymore, it's more like ''god, godess''. people are so magnificent, so full of presence,complexity, dimension and beauty. we truely are gods, and it is possible to see that divine side of your fellow creators. What I really want to share with you who are reading this, is that I have no idea how you see the world. And I never will, I don't know how we can all co-exist so harmoniously while seeing different things, literally, it's like magic. I know that what I see is unique, it's ever-changing, so what do you see? what will you see? even your vision is unique, just the way you perceive the world, the way you hear the world is unique. you are awareness, and everything you are aware about is absolutely filled with your essence, there really is no distinction between what you and what you are aware of. what is your dimension like?I'll never know,how do people look in your world?I'll never know. I just know that I can't even remember what my world looked like a year ago,I literally can't imagine it,but I know that it would like a scrubby piece of paper, next to a big cube of water which is my reality know. if you believe, if you're convinced that you're awareness is unique, that the way you see things is unique to you, I'm absolutely sure that you'll be able to experience infusing more of your unique essence into your sounds and sights.

if you manage to incarnate in this dense negative dimension and not powertrip and actively abuse and murder people then in my book you're absolutely successful

yes, the directive is for your soul to grow and expand, to express the infinity of your soul...you are consciousness, light, with an unique and infinite essence inside you. as you grow you can express that unique essence more. it's not optimizing it's expressing. the universe wants to express it's infinity through all its creations. Just as you want to express your creativity, your curiosity, your projects, so does the universe, but through us. the goal is not to get someplace, the goal is really the journey, the ''optimizing'', the expressing is the goal, growth is the goal. There's nothing to do, we're all perfect....so what are we doing? simply playing with ourselves. see it as a video game, you start a lower levels, and end at higher levels, there's no point to finishing a video game, it's just about having fun. but to realize that you're just playing you have to awaken, and shake off negative definitions.

if static meditation is too hard you can practice mild thought filter. Point your attention towards certain mental patterns or thoughts that you feel are not of much use to you It can be thoughts like ''I won't make it, I don't matter, this thing is going to be hard, I need the approval of this person''< I don't know what your most destructive thoughts are, well pick one destructive thought pattern and try to block it from now on. Everytime it comes up try to put a stop it, not even let it come up or finish. < If that's too hard everytime it comes up just point at it mentally, devalue it, you can counter it with a mantra : ''that's not true,I don't believe this thought'' or ''over time I will stop having thoughts like these'' , ''this thought is not me''. it makes you mindful of your thoughts, as you're actually paying active attention to what's going on up there. you unidentify with your thoughts. Just by picking one destructive thought pattern and trying to block it, to pay attention to it. As you get better you can start blocking two patterns, three,four... what's good is you don't need to sit still or take time for it, as you're constantly doing the exercise

enter a public place and sing loudly or dance by yourself, be it the mall, a metro, a cafe, a restaurant, a bus stop....singing/dancing in front of others are the hardest thing to do for next to everyone in society. if you really want to tackle fear that's the way to do it, that's gladiator training edit: I wouldn't say its the way to do it, this is the way if you really want to go at it hard, but your comfortable pace is the best pace

you're going to change real fast if you face the things that scare you the most, matters of the heart. if you want to grow, you have to do something that you really care about and that makes you feel vulnerable. vulnerability is strength, it's easy to not care about anything and give up, and pretend you're fine not doing the things you're avoiding. the hard thing is being vulnerable, if you want to grow, do things that make you vulnerable, that you make you feel like you're on the edge. that's where the real stuff happens, be it chasing after a dream, a person, learning a project...something that's real and not just your daily routine

you do the same thing as you do when you're trying to enlighten...do not believe in your current reality. You know you could be interested in your life, you know you could be enthusiastic about life, you know you could be happy in your life....it all comes down to not believing a single thing about what's going on in your life right now. do not believe in the disinterest you have, do not believe in this empty life,don't believe in your negative thoughts, don't believe in your emotions. tolerate them, but know deep inside that another reality is coming,that you're aiming for a higher reality...you are not your life, you are not your negative emotions, your negative thoughts, you are awareness. you are beyond everything that is going on in your life, you are beyond your life,nothing in your life has a say on what's possible or not. don't believe anything that doesn't empower you, that doesn't make your life flourish. be patient, tolerate your life but don't believe it, and it will change over time

the best answer to most questions is infinity. be open-minded, you can awaken spiritually at any age, at any speed, after any event, for any reason. overcome limiting beliefs if you believe you need a certain age or speed or time to awaken spiritually, you will manifest that reality, which is why what you believe is literally your limit, to open up your imagination and open-mindedness is to grow spiritually, literally

you are right, even enlightened people have progress to make. ..once you identify as an immortal soul your journey begins, rather it continues. We came on earth for a reason. Eckhart tolle and the guy in the topic's video are only teaching about the first step. for anyone interested this video has a lot of good info regarding our purpose as souls on earth starts at 25:00

I'd like to make this a positive topic to encourage spirituality! so let's list all the awesome stuff we gained so far. for me : - more confidence - better vision, more light, colors are more vivid, water looks alive - everything becomes interesting, I can marvel in the complexity of using a broom to clean up my living room. the amazing feelings of manifesting order as I clean the room, the philosophy of it, ''am I cleaning the room or am I rather cleaning myself, I am the room'' before cleaning a room would've been completely boring and annoying, now it's like wow looking forward to what you guys have to say

it's because spirituality is really that simple : ''be happy to be, be happy to exist at all'' That's everything that spirituality boils down to. ''there's nothing to seek'' translates to: ''you should be able to be happy right now, you are fully responsible for your happiness'' It may seem not very useful to you but this can be all it takes for a certain kind of people to enlighten. There are many different and unique people and many different and unique teachers, if something doesn't connect with you, it will probably connect with someone else. be open-minded that different people require different teachings/ teachers

balance is the key, real balance is not in abstaining. to abstain is to do, it is not to be seeking is bad avoidance is seeking to not seek, so it's still seeking if you want to stop gaming or drinking alcohol let it stop naturally, meaning you don't do these things for a long while but when you feel like doing them, you do them in full acceptance and trust. it's like waves, let there be a long wave of not playing and drinking, then a short wave of playing and drinking, and if you accept this natural process, the longer waves will get longer and the shorter waves will get shorter, till there's no more short waves, if that's what you really want and need. On the matter of your perceived ''depersonalization'', in my book you are letting your true self shine. Your natural self is effortless and instant. Literally. Which is why it feels like things are kind of happening and you feel like you're not thinking and using your mind. Which is exactly what you want, bypass the mind and access the higher self/ the divine mind, thinking and decisions happen instantly in a millisecond on higher level intelligence. you are not losing yourself, you are being more of yourself

I think names are an expression of ourselves...it's especially interesting to look at online nicknames. Mine is more affiliated magic and wizardry, 'arcane energies' , I've had this online name for a long time since I was like a teen.

@Salaam god damn, you've done well to expand our imagination and limits

hello fellow lightbringer

you don't need to do anything, you are complete, but you shouldn't ignore your sexual energy either. which means, if a relationship comes, and you feel the urge to engage, let it be so, but don't seek out a relationship for the sake of relationship. if you don't find a relationship, don't rub one off everyday. unless you really feel like it. I think there's a subtlety that monks and priests have missed. To be drunk in sexuality, whether it's masturbation or sex is indeed bad, I have felt it in the past, it robs you of your spiritual energy. But to ignore masturbation and sex fully is also bad. it's just growing a monster of frustration inside yourself, and that I have also tried in the past and felt the horribleness of it. the answer is in balance. the circumstance never mattered, it doesn't matter if you have sex or if you masturbate. It doesn't matter if you don't do these things. What matters is why, the physical act doesn't matter,but why do you do the things you do, the spiritual side. There's always a physical act and the spiritual side behind it. Let things come naturally. If you feel the urge to masturbate, do so, but don't do it when you don't feel the natural, don't seek it. Same with sex. Don't seek sex, let it come to you. Now this can be confusing, because as men, we often make the first move. You can make the first move without seeking. If the first move/approach feels completely natural, in flow, without any ulterior motive, it's not seeking. It's all in balance, to have sex or not doesn't matter, it's how you do it. Are you doing it out of fun,joy and flow or are you seeking to fulfill yourself, craving pleasure? to really accept and transcend sexuality is to let sexual energy be what it is, let it enter your life when it does, when it's not there, don't be frustrated don't seek it , when it's there embrace it

you came onto this world as a baby, crying your heart out, laughing your heart out. radiating a purity beyond this world a jewel of innocence and light, then you grow up and toke on the pains of this world. status starts to matter, distinction appears, confrontation, conflict, superiority, inferiority,fear...you were sub-merged in negative energy and its qualities. But that was your choice as a spiritual being, to learn and to grow from all this. Now that we're trying to rise let's take a look at the mind. Imagine someone, running. That person is running along a track. And you keep shouting things at that person. As the person turns left you shout : ''I'm gonna turn to the left now.'' As you see the person getting tired you shout : ''I'm starting to feel tired''. As you see the sun going down in the far distance you shout : ''the sun is going down now.'' That person starts to identify with your voice, your narrative. When the person is starting to doubt you, you do everything you can to maintain your existence. So now the person is interested in spirituality and is in a feeling state of investigation towards you. You cannot betray yourself, you have to play along even if you don't want the person to investigate you. you have to narrate his investigation otherwise it will be obvious you are a foreign existence to that person. So you shout : ''hmm, am I real, is this voice I'm hearing real?'' ''is the mind real?'' You start playing along. For the sake of maintaining your existence you play the part. You're an incredible actor. But you do well to steer the person in thinking you're real, at every chance you have, you strike with absolute intent. When the person feels sad or rejected you shout : ''no one likes me, they don't truly love me, I'm all alone'' The more a person feels disconnected from their surrounding the more they retract inside, they share less with others, they stifle their real selves and turn to your for identity. You feed them your garbage : ''I shouldn't show my real emotions otherwise I'll get hurt, I'll act friendly with this person,I'll use them, but with this person I'll try to control them. I shouldn't do that. I'll get hurt. That person is bad. That thing is bad. Those people are bad. I'm bad, unworthy but he's even more unworthy'' And as time goes, the narrative isn't the one adapting itself to the person. It's the person adapting itself to the narrative. The narrative needs conflict and distinction and will feed it to you in masses because in happiness, in bliss there is never any thinking. there is being. love is connection, it's freedom, it's space, to feel free and home wherever you are,to feel united with everything, it's expansion The mind is fear, it's contraction, it's distinction, it's crippling, it's crimping, it's retraction. intelligence is not absolute, it's a gradient, love is of higher intelligence and fear is of lower intelligence. Just as you have higher levels inside yourself you you also have lower levels. Fear is the pathway to lower intelligence while love is the path to higher intelligence. with this we can start deconstructing the mind as we understand it's purpose. If you are completely happy and fulfilled you will not be thinking most of the time, as you are too busy enjoying yourself. So the mind needs war, needs conflict to exist, so that you can start planning your ''defense''. And it will do everything it can to make you believe you're in a war with your own world, just so that it can survive. The less you know, the less you believe you can do, the more you feel like you're lacking control and resources, the more you feel like you need to gain control and resources, the more aggressive and violent you become. that's why the mind is of lower intelligence and of negative energy. It is not only that, it is a gateway to more of that. That's how people spiral out of control in murder, rape, war...they spiritually descent. It cannot embody love because it is not intelligent enough to do so. and when it does it's merely playing along. to make your mind think positive is to literally destroy it, which is why it's so hard to hold positive thoughts. Fear is the manifestation of negative energy, which leads to lower intelligence, less understanding, makes you believe in lack of control,and leads you downright to conflict and pain. Love is the manifestation of positive energy, higher intelligence and understanding. leads you upright to divinity That's why I say that intelligence is not static. You can higher or lower your intelligence at will depending on which energy you try to tune into. it's your choice there's no such thing as IQ scores in my book. they're merely a construct of the mind to bring division and confusion, making you believe your intelligence is static. Now to crack down on the mind is to see it's vulnerabilities. the cracks in the shields. The mind is of fear and cannot coexist with love so all it's vulnerabilities will show up when confronted to love. Have you ever heard you mind say ''we should kill that person or I wish that person would die'' and then you'd feel in your heart something completely different, you'd almost feel guilt and shock for that thought? Or if your mind constantly makes you feel rejected and you get tired of it at some point, tired of your own mind. That's what happens in depression, people's mind go haywire and it starts becoming very obvious that the mind is not working in their favor 'anymore'. The mind didn't go ''sick'', it was always sick, it merely stopped trying to hide its negative intent and be so subtle about it, as it grew stronger it just downright spiraled out of control. The ''ascension'' of the mind always ends in death, either suicide or murder. It is pure negative energy. The mind cannot co-exist with love. As you try to make yourself believe you're worthy of self-love, of divine ascension, of enlightenment, it will do everything it can to make you doubt it's possible or to make you feel unworthy. the mind cannot co-exist with higher intelligence. You think when you do math in your head, that your mind is helping you. No it's merely narrating what's already happening.On the contrary it's slow your abilities down to a crisp. You are able to do math instantly and effortlessly at higher levels of spirituality. Einstein said his greatest discoveries came ''out of nowhere'' upon himself.that they came to him as flashes of insight. As many other great scientists. As many great artists. We know that creativity is higher intelligence itself. Could anyone every think himself into painting something like leonardo davinci? Think yourself into making music like your favorite music artist? the proof is right in front of our eyes, our mind cannot and will never grasp concepts of higher intelligence. whether it's math,or science,or art, when you think the mind serves a purpose it's merely an illusion. Einstein theories came ''upon'' him because his mind couldn't grasp the concepts of it and make a narrative for it. They didn't come out of nowhere, they came out of himself, but the absence of the narrative, the vulnerability of the mind showed. The mind cannot make a narrative for what it doesn't understand. Which is why as you grow spiritually , your mind will automatically stop because your intelligence, your perspective, your actions will be completely incomprehensible to it. and if you want to grow, understand that fear in any form absolutely feeds the mind while love feeds your soul. To love is to expand, to understand, to feel free, there's nothing to fear if you understand everything, but to understand you must first love edit: I also have an exercise for you to show you directly in experience how slow and unintelligent the mind is compared to yourself. Try to walk,not automatically, but with thoughts. Plan your every move.Your every step.Plan the movement of your muscles. ''Move quadriceps, lift knee, lift knee, lift foot to the right, shift core....'' Sounds like madness right?Well try it and feel for yourself, how inept the mind is and how incredibly intelligent you are without it. How ungodly slow would it be to walk using your mind? That is what is going on with all of us. Walking our lives using our minds. It is incredibly slow and unintelligent, you can feel the immense difference for yourself in this exercise if you try it. Carefully planning our decisions and feelings, to ''plan'' is to breakdown your native intelligence to breadcrumps. How would you go through life if you stop using your mind for everything and just let yourself flow, the same way you flow when you walk? Your speed would be a thousand times higher...as your awareness is faster, your intelligence magnified to unimaginable heights, time slows down as you become aware of everything. That is being in the present moment, to not think, to not use your mind, is to accelerate, and to slow down everything, to transcend time itself , to be free of all conflict, and be launched into blissful eternity

mm not the first time I hear about her book,I might just check it out sometime

if I recall Jane Roberts is so high level spiritually she's able to channel her higher self directly into this dimension
