What did you do for the end of suffering to occur?

So the method of stopping doesn't work since it lasted temporary for you. Time to find other ways to make it permanent.

Okay then.

The problem then is how to bring the realization about

There is just spacious awareness when attempting to look. of course I cant something called a ME

Then don't drink.

The final awakening, so callled the end-of-suffering, did it happen after a meditation session? or reading a book?

I understand when they say it all happens within me... but I guess it's an intelectual understanding, while in your case even though you had an intelectual understanding of it before, you now also have a direct experience of it

Is it correct to say that the bottom line is, is that a practice isn't what made the final shift, but a set of words that triggered you? ". The realization came in a flash when I fully realized what exactly is meant by "it all happens within you" HOW did you try to understand that it all happens within you? Can I do the same?

Hmm, so the sense of being alive and the one you described above as imagining peace around you expanding from your skins are a bit different from each other? because the IAM (sense of being alive) is what nisargadatta did

"Imagine that all around your body is an invisible field of peace and bliss. Try and surrender to that by giving in. Imagine you are expanding out of your skin to merge with that field. The obstacle will be the thoughts in your head trying to bring you back in your body. Whenever that happens, just kill the thought from the get go (clear your head) and resume. The intensity of your desire will determine your chance of success." Is this the practice you did until enlightment happened? Is this the same as feeling the sense IAM?

Did mental suffering such as future worried , anxiety, fear of death end? Or can you still experience those?

It's understood on intellectual level. Just practicing self-inquiry

If only it didnt take years of self inquiry to understand this.

Is the source, the feeling of being, the feeling of IAM?

Did suffering end for you?

Permanent? how long are you in this state already? And how do you know it wont wear off the next couple of days?

Awakening means the end of suffering. I once asked Fred if that's the case for him, he tried to avoid the question.

"Tnx to Mooji, Leo, Rupert Spira i found what was always there pure empty space of blissfull awarness it took me only 1 year you can all do it! " Was your practice BEING AWARE OF AWARENESS during the day? like rupert spira teaches?

Do you think it takes something MORE to get rid of any ideas about yourself then by just resting as awareness?

Do you do this LIVE? like when the movements are actually happening? for example, I am aware of my walking and then I ask/see for myself if I am doing the walking or the walking is just happening? Or, do I actually use a past memory where a situation has happened and to recall if I actually initiated the action or it just happened?

Peaceful and blissful with a special kind of clarity. of course, sometimes awareness can also appear dull. but most of the time it feels peaceful.

Was the abiding as awareness practice something you started the last 2-3 years? I am pretty much aware of awareness during activity all day, (for 2 years and a half) have had many experiences but still no permanent shift..

Thanks for sharing your story! The very moment the shift happened, (perhaps 1-20 min before) what did you do? Did you "practice" staying as awareness? or did you read something that suddenly "made you" go AHA?

I got some news for you. you are not enlightened. now you can work on your problems.
