@Solace For a while, at the end of an awakening and for a time thereafter, I slipped into a state of consciousness that felt very much like becoming lucid within a dream, I began yelling internally at something to wake up. The impressions I got was that it was something important, something masculine, and something that we've been trying to wake for a long time. Now, I know how this comes across but I had taken lsa and smoked a tiny bit of marijuana, which led to a very crazy but profound trip. So I remain skeptic that it was just ramblings of my imagination, but seeing your post reminded me of this, and am open to it being taken literally or symbolically. Although you say that the masculine entity has already awakened... I slipped into this state a couple more times with Marijuana, following this, and yes I realize that pot could be the underlying cause of this "state of mind" but just wanted to see what you thought about this. It's also possible it was a complete representation of my own awakening, but for some reason I'm feeling something global. As if it will never wake up until there are enough minds meditating its /their own awakening. Sort of like a collective conscience, or hive mind, directing the overall attention and consciousness of... What? Earth? The galaxy? The entire pocket universe that we currently exist in? Directing the attention towards love and awakening. But to what end? Now I'll be sober tomorrow and be embarrassed for saying all of that but what the hell...

@WellbeingSeeker yes, any positive change can be wired in the awakened space, including positive affirmations that you want to "let in" and make a part of who you are.

Hi WellbeingSeeker, yes, any positive change can be wired in the awakened space, including positive affirmations that you want to "let in" and make a part of who you are. Does that help?

It is an adopted belief. But tell that to the guy I got it from, who experienced his past lifetimes first hand. And what would it matter if there were or were not path lifetimes? That's just another distraction from your heart. What I am saying here is that all forms of isolating yourself, non-dual contemplation or meditation where you "let go" of thoughts or watch out for the ego like a hawk, is becoming unnecessary. The only spiritual practice we need is to love our hearts, and from that foundation should we explore other spiritual practices. There is no work to do, no technique to become a master at, only a heart in need of love and attention. Maybe in a few decades you'll realize how you've already mastered the non-dual path, and with that in mind, you can see why I'm posting this: to save decades of searching for what is already found, and to instead anchor the divine feminine by embracing whatever arises in a endless meditation called reality. No longer are we to be awakened in private and inflamed in public, but to move to the next step, and master the relationship with our heart, and thus the universe. You are already apart of this heart-centered journey, dreaming you are awakening from a mind-centered illusion. It's not about the spiritual experiences we have, but how relaxed we are in each moment, which is a measure of how surrendered we are to what IS.

Not everyone. Depends if you have a narcissistic ego or inferior ego. The ego which uses the spiritual path to be superior to others still needs to awaken the divine masculine. Most people on this forum are past that stage for if you are wondering if you are a narcissistic ego that is exactly what an inferior ego structure would ask. As an awakened being in the mind, you decided to come back to Earth to open the heart. In regards to past lives, I don't know if we did have any for certain (just like I don't know if enlightenment is real either), but I have faith in the hundreds of spiritual teachers who tell us we did, for to believe is to see. Reality is infinite so anything that you could possibly think of in some way shape or form exists

I dont follow your line of thinking. What makes you assume we have had previous lives? And what makes you assume everyone got awakened in some previous life?

@Quanty Well, I suppose I am the one who told [me] that. I told myself this based on my observation of highly gifted individuals like my friends, and the people from the uni I am attending, and the research I did on the topic. I am not sure what you mean by ''destroy in IQ'', thus you have to clarify Also, please clarify the term 'awakened human being' I am not sure what that means either. All I am saying is that mathematics requires hard work, and that gifted individuals— especially young ones— are not used to hard work because they understand most things quite fast and without much conscious effort, thus they think that it has to do with genetics, talent, nature, IQ, ADHD, math deficiency so forth and so on. I do think that I know what you are talking about when you mean 'physical strength'! It is true that when people are in a life or death situation that because of certain chemicals that result in flow-state, adrenaline, endorphin rush, and so on, are capable of exerting more physical strength than usual. Example, lifting up a big chunk of a collapsed building to save someone! Cheers!

Who told you that? Is quite the opposite. An awakened human being will totally destroy in IQ and any field the un-awakened, even in physical strength.

As I watched this video for the third time (my last watch was 6 months ago) I was jumping out of my seat at the insights I received. In our past lifetimes we have already awakened the mind, we have already experienced ourselves as infinite consciousness and we have already become one with God. In this lifetime, we have forgotten our own personal awakening, and so are trying to watch our egos as if it is the enemy for us to once again "transcend it's limitations" in a never-ending spiritual crusade, but this journey is no longer useful in this day of age. Non-dual teachers are being replaced with heart-centered teachers because the divine masculine has woken up, and now it is time for our divine feminine to follow in its line, through opening up our hearts in the most committed, and loving way possible, that each of us deserves to experience and will eventually experience in this lifetime or the next. No longer is the spiritual path about transcending the ego, but instead committing to reality, by letting each one of our thoughts, and emotions be seen, heard and felt as we take up the role of the kind mother or father we never had; or the best friend we always wanted. I recommend for everyone to watch the entire video. It explains everything I have said in unending depth that will save you years on your spiritual path. Years where you avoided your heart by not embracing your thoughts, emotions, and whatever is in front of your face by instead following a non-dual guru who will only lead you to a place you have already mastered. I had to come back to tell you all this, and I hope you can see the simplicity of what I am saying. That in the past we have been told to push everything away, accept what is, and put ourselves under a spiritual microscope to spot the ego and remove it like a parasite. And now, whether you like it or not, we are here to embrace the living shit out of our ego, at the rate you love your heart, at the rate you love whatever arises in your life Many blessings. Here is the most inspiring part of the video, but watch it all if it is possible, thank you for reading:

After Enlightenment, you finally understand what it feels like to be Alive and Live Truly. Even a walk down the street is artwork of divine magnificence and pure joy of synchronistic intelligence as everything has awakened/reincarnated like the first time you ever experience Life as a baby. Now this (state of utter bliss and pure understanding) can last from several months to a few years or more depending on your self-work/care and lifestyle choices/situation or it can last indefinitely if you are already pre-prepared from previous awakenings whether it is this life or the previous that you have chosen to forget for a greater purpose. Grasping Oneness to the degree when you cannot differentiate between you and another or even you and an object for that matter is one of the most profound and enlightening experiences, it takes the feeling of HOME to a level beyond your wildest dreams. You can be anywhere in the universe and you will feel completely safe and home in pure love. Love is the Key! ^that is basically what one can explain with words, there is magic like stated above far greater than could ever be expressed but only directly experienced/understood/felt. Bless!

One can share joy to the world and family. But beware! Some people are super jealous while they laugh with you and in secret they want you dead. If one has seen death and can handle the pressure & has awakened, then no problem.

Be like Bruce Lee, Like water. Practice all the arts then absorb the best of each art and create your own. That's how he created Jeet Kune Do. Tommy is one of the best modern examples of Jeet Kune Do. but even JKD is only becomes a limit. This guy is also excellent that has understood bruce lee philosophy This was always natural to me since young, surrender to nature, to the ground, to the natural flow, using no way as the way, absorbing what is universal and effective and discarding what is not in harmony with its flow. Most people find what these guys do super impressive but to me its very simple and common universal sense. Tap into self and infinite knowledge is available. The simpler, the more effective it becomes. What happened with Bruce Lee i believe is that he became an Awakened Being through his Martial Arts but for him that was his focus so he mastered it as mastery comes with awakening. If he had a different lifestyle he would of mastered whatever he was focusing on.

It has been a while since I posted here, but I just wanted to share a great book that I highly recommend: Already Free by Bruce Tift. He is an awakened Buddhist that is also a therapist. The way he describes how the mind works is highly adaptable to western minds. Check it out and compare it to your experience, and I think that many of you will be pleasantly surprised. Anyways, check out the book!

In leo’s latest video, Hawaii Late Night Insights, he said that this awakening might make his body drop dead. Like can this work take you to that point, where you don’t even become awakened and die on the spot? I get physical and literal death as a part of the awakening process, but I didn’t know that your body can just drop dead. I’m not sure I heard leo correctly, but it sounds like he was making a distinction between phsyical/literal death and also that this work might make your body not continue by surrendering your life like a mahasamadhi. Was leo saying this as just something you have to accept, or are there actually cases where people do consciousness work and just drop dead on the floor? I know it is kind of ironic and paradoxical for me to say “I am willing to physically and literally die, but not willing to drop dead on the floor where my heart stops beating” but on a practical level I am doing this consciousness work for some payoff, not to drop dead.

Okay so I've been meditating for a couple years but I didn't really know what I was doing until a couple weeks ago. And WOWWWW. Seriously how do most people not know about this? My first glimpse of enlightenment was about a month ago and I was doing neti neti whilst high on weed and man that was some crazy shit. It felt really alien. I suddenly realised that there is no experiencer and all there is and ever was is experience. And yeah this felt really really alien. I felt like I just discovered orgasms for the first time hahaha. And now when I meditate I gradually gain more minfulness and thoughts start to fade into noise and everything becomes 'noise' ( neutral and there isn't anything that is more significant than any other thing ) and once that happens I feel like a key has just been taken out of the lock. And I'm not attached to my thoughts, I'm not convinced that I am my thoughts, or my sight or my senstations anymore and not in that problem solving mode. It's fucking beautiful and so alien at the same time. I often feel a wave of energy run through me as this happens like a vibration. that just coarses through me and I'm suddenly non attached to anything. Then this fades and I'm attached to thoughts again. And then I notice I'm talking to myself in my head about how enlightened I am lmao. And then I realise this is ego. And I'm back in square one. And I cannot go more than 20 minutes without an uncontrollable urge to move and open my eyes. Also when I opened my eyes after my most recent meditation everything was as if I have never seen it before, like I had new eyes or I was just born. and it gradually fades into my regular everyday state. I also experience mild closed eye visuals whilst this is happening and a ringing in my ears. But for the most part it feels like I've fallen out of my thoughts. Anyone else experience anythign similar? Was that falling out of thoughts the void? And if so how can I make it last and not attach myself to the ego? EDIT: Also I'm noticing how because I'm not in that state anymore I cannot really grasp what that's like. Is this falling out of thoughts thing of any significance? Am I going crazy? Is this just the ego playing tricks and deluding itself into believing it's enlightened? EDIT: I also feel weird presences or like someone is watching me whilst meditating but that fades too as i focus on my breath. I also see different colours as this state comes on and it looks a lot like the northern lights. EDIT: I know this is the third edit lmao but I'm also noticing how whenever this state comes on it's like my mind doesnt want me to see it. it diverts my attention. This is some freaky shit maaaan And I get it now how when leo said its like a scratch on the top of your head turns into finding a zip then slowly unzipping yourself from yourself. EDIT: I don't know if this is psychosis coming on or if it was enlightenment. It feels pretty good. EDIT: My hands feel like just hands and not like i own them ownership is a delusion. What the fuck is happening? Am I delusional and just imagining I'm enlightened? if anyone knows then pls tell me what is happening. Should I ask a psychiatrist if I'm sane? EDIT: So my regular state where im attached to thoughts is literally insane because everything is fundamentally neutral and just noise and believing that it's something more is craziness. And that means everyone else is insane too. But I know what sane is now. what the fuck EDIT: How do I know this is not my mind playing tricks on me making me believe I've experienced enlightenment? When really I'm just imagining it EDIT: I feel pretty regular now and I cannot really understand it unless im in that state. I cannot unsee this though :DD i feel exactly the same as before I meditated today but really really aware EDIT: I have no idea what the fuck i was talking about anymore lmao wtf EDIT: Now I see that attachments are like lenses on the truth ( pure conciousness or neutrality as i said ) But I'm not in that state anymore I just get it EDIT: Okay so it's the next day and I feel basically the same as before. I think that I try to rationalise what is happening and I begin to believe that my rationalisations are enlightenment. I don't look at it as crazy anymore. more like really sane.

You can only be honest with awakened human beings, the others will misjudge you every time.

I think that the ego takes a huge beating when you drink urine, which makes you more present and awakened how you manifest infinite love is up to each of us I am impressed with this urine drinking, it's creative and courageous, I won't partake but I get the spirit behind the practice

One needs to sleep depending on his spiritual awakened state. If you are 100% growing and in optimized health being awakened the subconscious, then it is likely that sleep is only an unbalance in the body/mind, this is a reason the majority sleep, to recover the balance. Personally i sleep very little or none. We all grow and have parts in our boby/mind that are still in a state of healing and optimization.

The awakened harmony in the body/mind leads to sleep. In harmony there is no need for sleep.

Unless both parents are awakened and live in harmony it wouldn't be wise.

Sorry but that simply isn’t true. If you experience anything besides utter nullify then you are stuck in the ego defense of projecting some kind of meaning. That is not what happened, it’s a gripping sensation and utter nothingness. It’s not a desirable state yet I knew in my bones it is truth. Anything else is just a mental defense to find meaning. It’s like what Albert Camus said. If you aren’t living with meaninglessness then you aren’t awakened. If you still see beauty and meaning then you see nothing.

Dark Night of the Soul happens every day for the awakened ones.

Nice. It's a great practice and the energy will grow as you continue. The way it works is individual to each person,so don't relate what's happening with one person to your own progression. For me,it just took over. When I say it was driving me hard,it was driving me to seek Truth in a very intense way. This was not even a consideration prior to learning the kriya. I was there to learn it as part of living a healthy lifestyle,but as I continued, the drive to seek a spiritual path gained more intensity. By the fourth month,the intensity was full on. I didn't choose the path,it chose for me,lol. I live in the south east (U.S.) and he doesn't make it to U.S, very often,much less this side of the country. And like I said,this thing was a full on driving force. Even if I wanted to wait and travel,there wasn't much choice in the matter,lol.. I found the closest source I could to learn Kriya and the path to truth was on. To give an idea of how intense the energy was for me, I "awakened" within a year,and it certainly was not expected. The practices since then have been for the permanent abiding of that awakening. I want to reiterate the fact that experience is individual,so don't go expecting the same results or experience as mine. What is right for you,is right for you and will happen in it's own way. I definitely could not have foreseen any of what has happened.. It was just supposed be an all around body/mind practice for health and it turned into something very different,lol. I have no doubt Shoonya would be a great practice to learn. And if he does an initiation with that...well I can only imagine,lol.

Ey guys (first, sorry for my english, i'm from Spain), just wanna start a new topic to help people like me on guidance for this situation: I recently had a huge spiritual awakening (6-7 months ago). From my point of view, a person who has no idea about personal development and has never known nothing about spiritually or truth, it feel like I rested in the ''awakened state'' for two or three weeks. During that time I feel like i knew what my path in life was going to be, i feel like everyone around me was completely asleep and cried for days seeing how my loved ones were not going to have the dream life I was going to have. I feel my soul when i looked my self in the mirror and cried because I was perfect, life was perfect, and I could see perfectly how people around me were just wasting this beutiful present of ''god''. During this time I found Leo's channel, so I thought my life was going to be great.Now, 6 months later, and after passing a hard identity crisis, I had a super huge ego backlash, anxiety in my chest, feel like I waste the opportunity of living a meaningful life, feel like I'm deeply back asleep, don't know what to do and I think I have some depression going on. During the first months nobody understood me and feel very very alone, insecurities started to kick in and i feel like I sold my soul to feel better during that time. Please tell me what do you think about this.

A couple of important notes with regard to the "pdf". The document is extensive, and I've only been practicing the main Kriya, labeled FIRST LESSON:Technique of Kriya Pranayama as it was explained by Sri Mukherjee I have not began practicing the quite extensive "preparatory " techniques he discusses along with it. That is of course aside from the Nadi Shodana, Yoni Mudra Kambhaka, and Maha Mudra that is a natural part of doing Kriya. YMK and Maha Mudra are powerful,so it's best to proceed with caution. My practice (if interested) is: 1. 5-10 minute preliminary asana set. Two Maha Mudra's, as part of the set. 2.Nadi Shodana for 8-12 rounds. 3. Main technique of Kriya (described in PDF). Usually 15-20 minutes or so, or until "profound peace and stillness" or "the peace and the bliss originating from the practice of Kriya" manifests. 4. One YMK, after doing the main Kriya. 5.Awareness japa meditation for 25-40 minutes. The effortless awareness meditation is probably,and just imo, the best stand alone meditation technique I've practiced,outside of doing Kriya. After trying various meditation techniques for years,including mindfulness,breath and "object" based "hard" concentration techniques, It has been, from my experience, the most powerful stand alone meditation technique I've done. Kriya works on the "ecstatic energy/kudalini" as well as producing the stillness. The awareness japa meditation continues to carry one from that stillness, deep into different samahdi states, Kevalya samahdi being where awakening or "self realization" happens. Sahaja samahdi, is the permanent abiding of that self realized natural state. It needs to be said,at least in my experience,that the samahdi states don't necessarily happen only during meditation. I awakened, Kevalya samadhi, when I was wide awake. While grocery shopping no less, lol. I never quite understood the bible verse "the lord will come like a thief in the night" until this,then it was perfectly understood. And from talking to many others who have awakened/self realized, it came upon them suddenly as well. This is of course through doing months or even years of doing spiritual work ,and not the use of psychedelics. I've never tried psychedelics,so I'm not sure how effectively abiding, the awakening shift is on the nervous system.
