I understand that this is what you wished women would be. Just as, from a female perspective, we would wish men to be looking for love, something deeper etc. You are asking us, women, to try to see this from a male perspective. Yet you are trying to push your experience as a male into the experience of a woman by comments like this. Please note that comments like this devalue your teaching which I find highly valuable. Reading comments like this show you in a rather unattractive, unintelligent, misogynistic light. This comment said to a woman in real life, could be considered sexual harassment. You are adding to the problem. Please be more aware. Women are not sluts even though you would wish us to be. We, like you, are human beings first, female second. Please, you must take resposibility as your word has a lot of meaning to a lot of men. I'm sure you don't intend for men to see women as mere objects. You have a tendency to view women to be either hot or intelligent. This is a simplification and from my experience: simply not true. Intelligent and beautiful women tend to hang out with other intelligent and beautiful women. But as our intrests are to do something bigger than just play the social game, we tend not to go clubbing. I understand that your perspective is different as you most likely have hung out with Vegas girls, who, due to their cultural background, are socialized in a different way. Please keep in mind that your experiences only give a tiny glimpse into this complex group called women. I mean no offence, but this really made me see you in a different light.

Your girlfriend.

Please consider not using any substance. You are obviously sensitive to these kinds of experiences so I'm sure yoga, meditation and breathwork would be tremendously helpful for you as you are tuned that way. "The mystic swims in the waters where the psychotic drowns" - believe me, you do not want to experience drowning in these waters. I speak from personal experience, I am extremely sensitive as well and in all honesty, any psychotic break has only scarred me and made things much harder. I wish somebody told me earlier that this should be considered as a message to go towards a more "natural" route. Wishing you all the best! <3

@Leo Gura Girls fall in love with you but do you fall in love with them? Like merging into one, yin yang meeting each other. Recognizing your Self in another literally. The beloved and I are one. Would be intresting to hear your experiences of this type of ”true love”, not dating or social games etc.

I absolutely love Rumi! These are a few of my favorites: - The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. - Love is reckless; not reason. Reason seeks a profit. Love comes on strong, consuming herself, unbashed. Yet, in the midst of suffering, Love proceeds like a millstone, hard surfaced and straightforward. Having died to self-interest, she risks everything and asks for nothing. Love gambles away every gift God bestows. Without cause God gave us Being; without cause, give it back again. Gambling yourself away is beyond any religion. Religion seeks grace and favor, but those who gamble these away are God's favorites, for they neither put God to test nor knock at the door of gain and loss.

Why do certain plants have flowers and certain plants don't? Are flowers more or less concious due to them being flowers and not grass? Or are blue flowers more beautiful than red ones? You make a choise regarding the way you look to show off what kind of person you are. Either you are the kind of person whom does not have any tattoos or whom does. Both of the choises are a expression of "you". If you are a sim in The Sims and realise that you are the whole game, does it matter how you wish to customise your sim?

https://youtu.be/k5sX2QdpEUw (Helios - Unity) I woke up one night very lost, the world seemed like it did not make any sense and I felt panic. Then I got an email from bandcamp that hey this song has now been released. I listend to it and started to cry and realised it's myself sending me that song. That all is fine. That all will be fine. That I am here.

Extreamly well put. This is really not awakening, yes it can teach you about sanity and other intresting this but it is HORRIFIC. In insanity, your mind takes over in a very painful way. It is all mind, which is taking over by creating meaning to everything. There is no peace. There is no love. There is violent delusion. After awekening there is peacefulness, understanding. After and during psychosis there is horrible depression, suicidal thoughts along with other very mind related things.

”The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight” - Joseph Campbell There are many kinds of psychosis and it is difficult to speak of insanity as it could refer to quite many different states. Having experienced both something that could be classified as psychosis (altough luckily quite mild) and mystical states and awakenings, there is a big difference between them. The problem is that whilst you are in the state of psychosis, you can believe that it is awakening etc mystical state. But if you are able to introspect, it is VERY different. One makes you feel free and one makes you feel, in the lack of a better word, insane. It’s important to note that in psychosis every single one of your delusions has a logic to it and makes perfect sense to you. It is just very difficult to explain this logic to others, actually quite impossible.

Agreed, answering with knowledge or language will never answer the question. Perhaps you should ponder what love has lead you to in this life and what that has taught you etc. Not just universally what love is. Have you ever fallen in love? One cannot properly explain why you meet certain people at certain times, but you are able to recognize your essance with a certain person easier than others. Why is it that the experience of falling in love is similar (much milder ofc) to enlightenment? No. Words. Can. Describe. Either.

Love you <3 I hope you are doing well. Have a lovely day.

Look at those almond eyes of infinite awereness ??

Don't take lsd. Don't lie to yourself that it's doing you any good if the end result is your mind wandering even more. Psycedelics don't help all people for some they are too strong. Be brave

@George Fil haha, I can definitely relate to the movies part as well. Also happens when I look at trees, dogs, flowers etc. And it isn't like "normal" crying (i.e. sobbing) it's more happy tears. Yes, the feeling of warmth I also experience usually after I feel as if my hands dissapper. @Nahm Thank you for the encouragement Love feels like the natural path/way yet sometimes I must check whether I'm fooling myself or not. Perhaps I need just to trust love.

I have a reoccurding phenomena whilst meditation for a month or two; I meditate and usually end up doing self-inquiry and when I investigate onto the question - Who am I, Who is the one feeling this etc. tears start forming. I do not feel sad or happy but the tears start forming every single time. I don't really mind it, but I'm wondering why is this and could there be anything else I could do rather than just sit with it as sitting with it doesn't seem to give me further insight to sit with it. Another occurance is after doing self-inquiry I start doing a sort of a loving-kindness meditation. Thoughts of all that I love arise (nature, people etc.) I feel grateful and loving and it is very beautiful. But I'm wondering whether it is a distraction of going even deeper? Although my last awekening experience came after this loving feeling as it led to myself. Any advice? Thanks for the help

Gangaji or Rupert Spira

You are loved. Go deeper into the emotion and see what's hidden behind.

Haha you made me smile because I have pondered the exact same thing, loving animals and nature so deeply and how this has grown or "come back". And I feel as if that special connection I have with them is here even more. The most wonderous thing I also now looking at animals from the same place as when I was younger, they seem to be more curious to me as well, as if they would sense the pure love I have for them. With no wanting to pet them or get anything from them, just looking and appriciating.

Oh how much I can relate. But you know what? If you would have control what would that then give you? It would bore you to death. There would be no point. If you had control of your happiness or sadness there would be no surprise left. We want control because we imagine it would give us peace or happiness but that is simply not true. The best things in life are the ones with an element of surprise. Expecting things to happen ruins them quite a lot of the time. Yes, we feel the sadness of others, but why is that a sad thing? Isn't that the most beautiful evidence of us being the same? It is only your mind trying to tell you a sad story about sadness. Surely you can listen to the story if you like, but perhaps it is not necessary. Perhaps you can take the story for what it is, a story.

How can one be a part of spiritual elite? If we are seeking to know there is no seperation, why are you trying to seperate other from your "elite"? I wonder whom is the one creating this seperation. The conditioning of our culture is so strong that even in this we want to create seperation, enlightend and the non-enlightend. The elite and the non-elite. This is what is holding us from finding out what is real. Whom is the one wanting to change your family?

2) From my experience, only people who are uncomfortable with themselves (i.e. try as hard as possible to be "normal" to fit in as they are afraid of losing control etc.) think of someone being "strange" as a negative thing. If a person is comfortable with themselves they will see your oddity and uniqueness as something wonderful. I'm a fellow strange person in an office full of normal people at work, but from my experience "killing them with kindess" is always affective. Being geniuine is loved by people who are not lost. And for the being empty hull, I must say from the person saying it that is a compleate projection. In this case this persons only "weapon" towards you was you being an empty which only tells that the person firstly does not have enough to see beauty in all humans which all humans do have. All in all, perhaps also implementing softer practices, perhaps taking a walk in nature quietly and really observing the beauty. Little by little things will come.

If you were to get ill and you would be in panic then this just would be the path to enlightenment as your thoughts of your death would be something inescapable. What is there to be afraid of really? If you want to die in peace, live in peace and accept the fact that you might not die in peace. I was very sick as a teenager but because I hadn’t even heard of such a thing as enlightenment, I was just angry. I was never told : you could die of this although it was the case. If I would have, I would have come through to the same conclusion as I have now. Death is birth, birth is death.

Learn how to make amazing food. Healthy food. Make it into an artform. Make it into a skill. It is difficult to stop eating junk if your tastebuds are used to eating chemically flavored cartboard, but when you start to introduce beautiful foods like vegetables etc. your taste starts to change. And when your tastebuds become more "clean" they will be able to detect the delicate flavors of these healthy foods. Also consider writing a food diary. Like for example on Monday I ate pizza and I felt like shit on Monday evening and Tuesday also. On Wednesday I ate salad and felt amazing. Yes you can understand that junk makes you feel like junk, but writing it down and seeing it as a piece of information to analyse is useful if you fall down that path of junk again.

@molosku Yes, agreed. Then again true love is true love. Needing anything or anyone will ultimately ruin any relationship because it is a burden. But the love I have is not depended on anything. It is not "I love you if you protect me", "I love you you will be with me forever", "I love you if you're mine" or "I love you if you'll be perfect". Love is free of conditions. It doesn't mean if you are in an abusive relationship, you do not leave as this is not love. But you do not demonize anyone, you love all no matter what. Because they are you. Don't try to get love. Be love. Let the world break your heart. And it will. But if you realize you are love there is freedom not matter what.
