That's exactly right, you do need it. God cannot know itself unless it knows suffering. Bliss cannot be known or apprecaited without first suffering. Life would be incomplete without suffering.

@Truth Addict there are truly no words. The feeling of bliss and love cannot be described. And that is how it must be.

Johnny Bravo's Meditation Retreat Insights I have completed my meditation retreat. It was going to be 4 weeks but yesterday I just 'knew' I was complete with my retreat for now and wanted to commence into my old Earth Game life with all the drama (I was dying to watch season 8 so now I have permission to). Here is a compilation of some of insights I downloaded/comprehended during my deliberate solo time. You will notice within my insights that I also outline what my meditation was and what my retreat was, for those very words and those 'items' are/were debunked during this period. I don't like the word meditation anymore, nor even the phrase "retreat" seem sensible. But alas my fellow disciples and my fluffy Leonidas, here is some juice from the rarest fruit in the world: After one has properly gained sufficient practise with one or two meditation techniques, and no more than this, meditation stops being "meditation" and stops being "a separate thing you do" from the rest of your life. Meditation is NOT a binary state of being nor is it escaping into some alternative psychological state. People that advocate this are misleading you. One cannot do meditation incorrectly. The INTENT and the application to meditate is satisfactory enough. If you think you are meditating, you are. What is fear? Fear is only one thing and one item combined with a behaviour trait. Fear= projection of a bad future circumstance. The future is a projection. ALWAYS a projection, with a certain flavour to it. Fear = unwillingness to take the 'hit' of this 'bad' future projection. To stop feeling fear, simply embrace WILLINGNESS for the projection. Wish for it to come true, have an attitude of boldness about the projection, and the fear vanishes. Example? I am scared my fruit tree will be chopped down by my neighbour next week. I am NOT scared about the tree going down, I am scared I will be unwilling to face that the tree has fallen or be cut down. Do you see/feel the distinction? Fear is always unwillingness. If you are willing to face/encouter/endure or hope for the projection to be real so you can face it, the fear zaps. This is why in those stupid self-help books they say "The antidote to fear is courage, or do the thing to have the power." Sort of. But just be willing to face whatever and KNOW you can deal with anything. You must appreciate this insight. The brutality of martial arts. True martial arts is nothing more than learning and getting familiar with death. Not the theme of death or the theory of death, but real death. True martial arts- classic Budo- circumference completely around death. All techniques of martial arts derive from death. To survive, one must be familiar with The Tao/ the way of nature. Budo is Tao. Martial arts that prostitute themselves as sport combat or entertainment/a hobby are, yes, prostituting the Tao. You will never, ever meet a true martial artist in the UFC. The best boxers refuse to compete. Genuine martial artists are not necessarily arrogant on their technique, but it's that they appreciate death and they can therefore appreciate life. Leo, there is a suggestion for you. Go take up Kyokushin Karate. There are certain principals and energy within a Kyuokushin Karate school that I think will tap into what you need to, directly. I know you have taken psychedelics and done retreats; so this should be a walk in the park, no? You are in need of some intensity of exercise/movement anyhow. Now is an appropriate time. One single lesson is enough. If there is an anger pulling you into this, then stick with this Karate for a few months until all your anger has settled (for now). Escorts are humans. Johhny, stop waiting for permission to be the man you wish to be. Develop your own morale code and stick to it. Abandon what others say of morality, or how to be in the world. If you want a morality, then own it and take it up. As long as it is not borrowed. The quickest means to reach your destination is to refuse to jog. Only walk. Go slowly. The shark is a killer being of the ocean. It's body is athletic, muscular, zero fat on it. It's teeth are weaponry. The shark also has a correct psychology for killing and being natural in this. There is an art to his killing. Yet when the shark is taken out of the water, it is useless. Johhny, stop being a teacher for other people. Unless you are asked, or you feel the heart beckoning to mentor or coach, abandon this practise. Teaching is futile; just be a fellow students. Have the balls to be non-impressive. Be yourself, yet, be ordinary and easy. What is this act you keep doing Johhny of trying to be a Bravo you are not? When you criticise lazy people, at the higher level of understanding, what you are actually doing is refusing to embrace a 'healthy laziness' into your life; you project laziness onto others to see this. If you want to relax, 'test' out being lazy and being complacent from time to time, and being ok with it. Johhny, quit your job. The specific thing you are doing, it is time to cross at a ford. Go and be a cleaner for 3 months, or go and work at the airport for 3 months. Go and 'drop out' of the story for a while, whilst simultaneously refusing to run away from the earth game. Stop being a character and playing a role. You are YOU, not a character in a movie. It doesn't matter if you are assigned as James Bond in the James Bond films- the more you play a character, the more you are violent towards your true authenticity and are abusing God. Yes, when you play a character you are abusing yourself. Stop telling yourself a narrative and story. Your life is not a movie script or Harry Potter film. Life is, just, what is happening. There is no "next day" and "yesterday" all of that is just mental projection. Sure, the projections are necessary to interact with other people, such as the invention of TIME, but play with them and don't be dictated by them. Start driving slower in your car. Deliberately go a little slower. Do this for the next month (and I did). Get off all social media and online forums Johhny. Shinmen Musashi once told me, "Do nothing of no use." For what purpose is there in going on this online forum? To interact? Bullshit. You just want to dump your excess emotionally stress elsewhere, so an online forum will do because no-one knows no-one. An online forum is the most cowardly place to visit in existence. A 12-step group, though they have victim mentality, at least they have the courage to show up every week. There is but one single secret to enjoy your life. Well, two. 1. Be a human (stop trying to play God or some mystical being). Yes, get sucked up in the day-to-day drama. What is the trouble with it? You are aware and see it for what it is! Well enjoy it! Start gossiping! Start getting drunk every so often with people. If you crave a bag of Doritos, have it! Have a warm and hot shower every so often as well as the cold ones. 2. Whatever you do, do so with TOTALITY. If you are going to suffer, suffer with totality. If there is pain, take on the pain with totality. Refuse to pull your punches any longer. Stop being squeamish and begin living in totality. If you are angry, be totally angry. And this means if you are sad, you walk around with it painted all over your face "I am sad and I am not hiding it." If you are a slave, there is one means to escape: acknowledge you are a slave and enjoy the beatings. "Hey, you forgot to whip my right ball and I have a little itch..." The man who knows he is a slave and lives it is more like a King. Only a King can have the courage to be a slave. True slaves are people who walk around with their chest out saying "Look what a king I am." What do YOU WANT? Not what she wants, or what my mentor wants, or what my group advises me, or what Osho says one should do, or what Leo said one should never do, or what my grandfather says is a mistake.....What does YOUR HEART say? Then do that. And away with the consequences. A true Saint is the man who lives with no concern for the future. Forget future; the real man lives by refusing to be concerned. Concern is a metal parasite: one must kill it. My heart burns like fire, yet my eyes are cold as ice. My being is total and on fire, yet I appear ordinary. Honestly mate, stop trying to manipulate others opinions of you. If you want to be JohhnyBravo, then you need to allow others to do what they want. Remember to kill fear embrace willingness? Well what I am saying is that with willingness, fear has no seed to grow a tree. Be willing to let other people behave however they want with no input from me. But if they punch you in the face, then yes, I am going to pin them up against the wall, yell in their face "fuck off", put them on the floor with some sort of Judo, maybe another piledriver to the face.....or a nice punch to the face...….and then leave. If anybody else wants to slap me in the face, I will return the favour and the burden of being human and slap you back twice, or, once (but harder). I am not a fucking Saint and I don't want to be a fucking Saint...Although, to be a fuck-buddy Saint with intimacy and authenticity, sure. Did you know the author who wrote the famous non-fiction book "The Diceman" took 12 years to write it before he published it? Mastery does not demand things to happen; mastery is about respect for time and timing. And here we have YouTube losers doing 1 hour videos week after week. What significance is this? The next time you are thinking of texting this woman you want to be your wife, flip a coin. Heads I text her I want to see her, tails I refuse to be authentic with her for today. Whatever the coin says, you do thoughtlessly. The beauty of flipping a coin is that you can let go of your brain and your mind. It's so much more fun existing in the body isn't it? How happy a dog must be....Ah bliss......Just be a dog now. Not an ANIMAL, but a sensible dog. Dogs have a certain morality anyways, they just wont tell you because humans don't have the patience to ask such questions. I killed a spider last year. I think it was a female. It was scary, massive, hairy legs. It lived in my car for about 3 days. I refused to kill it hoping "the universe will sort it out." Well the universe did sort it out. After 3 days, I went to the shops, returned to my car, noticed the spider had moved onto my steering wheel (close to it), and went back to the shops, purchased some fly spyray, and proceeded to murder this spider. The spider died slowly; it's body crinkled up like when you burn a piece of paper with a match. It was one of the most ugliest things I have ever seen- not the spider- but me doing that. Because I was so scared, scared of what? After this incident, I refuse to ever kill a spider again. Bugs yes, but not spiders. I respect these creatures so much. I do not care; they can scare me and I will live with the fear and the discomfort and the anxiety. But I refuse to ever kill one again. I noticed as I was writing this there was a spider on the floor so I killed it just to make sure it wouldn't bite me. There is a song by Coldplay- my favourite song- "Politik." I think they wrote it on the day of 9/11. The lyrics are penetrating. "Give me real, don't give me fake....Give us a kiss, don't tell me you're a politic." Stop being a politic. Start being a human. Yes, a human has sides and likes/dislikes and views. But better to be an angry human than a cold politic. The politic gets money, gets favour, gets approval, gets 'correct behaviour' from other people. But the politic controls. The human allows. The human has WILLINGNESS, the politic has NON-WILLINGNESS. Politics are little bitches. Donald Trump would shit himself he I said to him "sit in this chair and watch this movie." He couldn't. He is scared what would happen next on the movie screen, and will be unable to accept the plotline. I don't think Trump (or any politic) has ever had the courage to watch Game of Thrones without first reading about what happens, episode by episode. Don't be such an idiot. Let the plotline by a mystery. If you cant let something go, then there is only ONE thing you MUST do; be a ruthless action taker and exhaust yourself with action and brutality towards changing something. Only after exhausting yourself with such efforts- regardless if you change something or not- they you can relax. You are the racehorse type Johhny, not a turtle type. The racehorse must be exhausted and allowed to go at full speed, otherwise, he will have a slow death and be cranky. The best way to torture someone is to give them one command, "Ok, you can be or have anything in the world, as long as it is not yourself. Who do you want to be?"- this question will kill someone if lived out long term. If you want to stop pleasing people and stop being a doormat, here is the solution: refuse to be self-conscious. I mean, abandon self-consciousness. Live as if you are a ghost or an animal or if you have no brain. Live 100% in the flow. A people pleaser is a politic also, they are always filtering, always waiting, always suppressing, always calculating. Life isn't that hard. If someone upsets you or gives you a bad gut feeling- not only is the gut feeling correct, but your behaviour through punching them or walking away is of the highest morale principal if carried out. Freewill vs determinism?.....At the end of the day, who cares? You have INTENT, you have WILL. Who cares what or if or how things play out. Enjoy the pretension you are in control, or not in control. Perhaps you can flick between the two? But honestly who cares, just live your life and enjoy it. On my death, I go up to Heaven, and the angel says to me, "Oh, just letting you know, all along you had freewill. Determinism was not true."- I respond to this angel, "So?.." On my death, I go up to Heaven, and the angel says to me, "Oh, freewill never really exists. You were determinist all along, just letting you know."- I respond by saying, "You know what, take me down to Hell. At least everything doesn't have to be a fucking test all the time." The worst form of abuse done in schools is "time out." Or, detention or suspension. It is such a violent form of psychological abuse. You are essentially covertly communicating to the child that they have zero worth in life and their behaviour is horrible. There is only ever going to be ONE JohhnyBravo ever in the world. Do you accept to take up your cross and carry out the duty to be yourself? To be yourself is the hardest mission in humanity. It requires rebelliousness, grit, courage, and the ability to sit in the mud and dirty your fresh pair of jeans and be ok with it from time to time. --- There! It's good to get that off my chest! Over and done with! Doesn't everyone feel better, I certainly do. That was getting kind of....tense....

I just thought of this since we are always talking about how important it is to be open minded in this work. Because if you can remain open minded long enough, through mediation and other techniques, you can have a mystical experience. When you have one of these you literally feel your mind open. Its because you are tapping into Infinite Intelligence. Your consciousness will completely open up. So guys please stay positive with this work because an Open Mind leads to an Open Mind. And the Bliss is unfathomable. That's why i want you guys to experience this.

@Aakash its normal but remember the fear of death is an illusion and move on. If you are able to Awaken you will experience your own death..and it will be the most beautiful thing you have ever experienced. Unimaginable bliss. After that the deeper your enlightenment gets you will embrace death not fear it.

Don't dwelve into chakras unless you want to awaken. Or follow Leo to awaken yellow and the perspective of the mind. Is something insane to go through the process, remember neo from the matrix? After falling in the suers he rested about a year, because of atrophy. Same is when we awaken, a time of heavy pain will rewind all your live and existance if you let it. That pain is bliss after letting go of the cancer\blockages\personallity one creates in the right side of the skull. The trick is planting the seed into earth, not in the sky, in the literal sense one has to ground sexual energy, not let that energy go dirrectly into the min. It has to open the rabbit hole first.

I'll do that @Anna1 @Preetom The first time I saw the "void" I was so scared that the word fear doesn't describe well what I felt. I was not prepared at all... Now I want to experience that again, and be calm and quiet... I know there's bliss after that.

@Shin ok...actually i can't say that. The first one i had may have been a glimpse then one i had today can be considered that. But i have been experiencing on/off bliss all day..was lingering between states and a little out of it but no backlash or anything. Guess it could be plausible

@Ponder Ponder what have you become conscious of during your mystical experiences? Did you experience bliss? For me Absolute Love = God so when I've had my experiences i felt how powerful Absolute Love is.

I don't know but i wish there were more. I had a mystical experience today and im still feeling the bliss sensation. I see everything as One so crystal clear its heart wrenching. And i can make the shift in consciousness between the finite and the infinite.

Guys im gonna tell you what i think can be a very key step to getting enlightened. While meditating stare at your hand. Now look at one of the fingers on your hand See it as the finger. A part of the whole hand. Now keep staring at the finger. But now become conscious that it is the whole hand. That "shift" in consciousness is what ultimately can lead to Enlightenment if you can do that. You will start feeling the sensations in your body that is the bliss of a mystical experience. Heres why this is so effective. You are first seeing the finger as that part. A part of the whole hand. That is like what your consciousness is like to Universal consciousness or God. Or another way is that you yourself are a finitude of infinity. If you can make this shift in consciousness just keep doing it over and over until the mystical experience happens. You can start working on that shift in consciousness with your little consciousness vs God Too..once u can make that shift...well fuck you will drop to your knees and weep This is the whole chabang guys. All reality is is a shift in perspective. You can look at things as a part and be conscious that they are the part and you can look at the part and become conscious that its the whole thing. That's how God works his magic. Its all shifts in consciousness I would like Leo to comment on this too because for me as soon as i make the shifts ..i feel Being. On days like today anyway..when i had a mystical experience. But you have to keep doing that over and over. How fast enlightenment happens may also depend on how spiritually gifted you are too so don't get discouraged. I know I'm making this sound easy so maybe it isn't going to be easy for everyone. But this it guys. Not just looking at the hand. But doing the shifts in consciousness.

@Mikael89 like i said there are no words really to describe the feeling but its Bliss.

@Inliytened1 and the melting dissolving feeling is there in both experiences. Its bliss. Its still in me now. I refer to that feeling as Being.

"Fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge" Actually this is a very important instruction for any serious spiritual journey to begin. Its a religious/devotional way of saying the same thing Advaita considers as a very important first step as well which is having a strong doubt and distaste towards the mundane/conventional reality which one believes in for granted. There is no further inquiry without this vairagya or dispassion. This same message is instructed in the devotional teachings as renounce your busy, stupid, anxious life to God. Stop being an atheist/materialist and start trusting the all powerful force which is God. The fear of God is the fear that consumes all other fears and thus liberates a soul from all fears and anxieties. Similarly, the utter distaste and diapassion towards the transitory sense objects is the distaste that consumes all other distastes and thus fulfills one with infinite bliss of the Self. Basically the same thing told in a slightly different twist. Hope this makes sense

@Jed Vassallo ive talked talked about my awakening many times here..i figured people were sick of hearing about it...right now I'm mobile but when i have more time i will tell you my entire experience. In a nutshell i was meditating doing self inquiry and something happened. A mystical experience. I was immediately thrown into a non-dual state. I became Being. That's not something that can be explained in words. But Being is conscious and aware - as universal consciousness i became conscious instantly of how reality worked in its entirety. I became conscious of Absolute Love and Infinite Intelligence. I was on my knees weeping because i had just become directly conscious of Absolute Infinity as i discussed in this post. Its everything you thought God could be and infinitely more to the point where you are saying Oh my god oh my god. Its infinite over and over and over. I hit about 4 more non-dual states over the next week each more powerful than the last. It was the most amazing thing you could ever, ever "experience". Complete and utter bliss. It is not really an experience it is being God itself. Everything you believed is real becomes recontextualized before your eyes...it literally melts away..a feeling i cant describe. After the experiences which lasted about a week i lingered between states still experiencing unimaginable bliss...which slowly transitioned into suffering ego backlash. I had no sex drive..i was having trouble thinking..depression..etc. This is because i had become God and returned to the Ego. It was a transition and i remember being in between being and myself and not being able to focus. It took work to get my ego back to normal. I know David is going to say...why the hell would you wanna go and do something like that for?

I did recovered from overeating after discovering how to properly give nutrition to the body. Staring with raw animal byproducts like cheese, milk, eggs, honey bee My health, energy and binge eating skyrocket into bliss ane fluidity. Drinking 6 raw eggs at a meal, with some cheese and som milk, any rust feelings in the body Simply dissapeared.

@Preetom it will fall on your lap. And the day it does you will be on your knees saying "oh my god" over and over and over and over while in total and complete divine bliss.

The middle path is as the name suggests. It is living between the two extremes of the world of duality. In duality the two extremes only appear different,but in actuality one carries the other in it,and are dependent on one another for their existence. Also the world of duality is transitory. Nothing is permanent. Take for example pleasure and pain.The very act of seeking pleasure means you're in pain. In the absence of pain there would be no seeking of pleasure. Pleasure itself carries with it the inevitable pain of losing it,due to the transitory,impermanent nature of the world. So pleasure inevitably contains pain.Due to desire and attachment to pleasure, one will seek to experience it for a longer and longer period of time. Thus, one will also be in pain longer and longer when it is lost. This is why the Buddha stated "the world is only suffering." In pain there is suffering,and even in pleasure there is suffering. Nirvana is cessation of suffering. Cessation is inner equanimity,peace,joy. It is (sat-chit-ananda) existence-consciousness-bliss. There is no seeking of pleasure or avoidance of pain and no attachment to whatever comes and go's. To fully see and realize the impermanent and transitory nature of this world will naturally lead one to see the ignorance of attachment to anything. It is also due to seeing this impermanence that one will seek and abide in that which is permanent,unchanging and can never be lost.

@Buba Enlightenment will liberate you from the obsessions but it will only be during the mystical experience. Mystical experience isn't even the right word. The right words are direct consciousnes of God. Being God. Apon return to duality you will linger between states for some time and still enjoy the bliss and the lack of obsessions. But ultimately as you return to the Ego the obsessive thoughts will return..but they will be lessened. You have tapped into Infinite Intelligence. Your consciousness will be raised a thousand fold. But you must continue the work. Make it your life's work and become more and more in tune with Being. The more aligned with God the less the obsessions and the happier you are. Additonal mystical states may be required to completely remove them but it is possible. Afterall, we are talking about Absolute Infinity.

Completely. But traveling on the spiritual path is the way to get back to the wonder, freedom and bliss you experienced in childhood!

Misinterpretation of reality having identified with a body & thinking. Emotions ‘tell’ the Truth, 24/7. That’s their thing. That’s what they do. It’s what they are. Feel them without avoidance, and this is easy & clear, and there is no overthinking, no doubt. Get sucked into a thought story...a cognitive narrative...and the trouble begins. Doubt is weaved. Identification is strengthened. Protection is increased. Vulnerability is further suppressed. Thinking protects you. That’s it’s thing. That’s what it does. Not knowing you were misinterpreting reality, and protecting yourself in the most subtle & clever ways....you then misinterpret the emotional response as well. When done repeatedly / chronically....thinking protectively weaves a narrative which makes it make sense (in the short term). But this “short term” itself then must be repeated to maintain the protection. This is a very taxing, energy draining, creativity zapping lifestyle. Typically the narrative thinking employs is one of two patterns: Life sucks.......then thought content is identified with / believed, emotions (truth) is repressed & avoided. or I suck....then thought content is identified with / believed, emotions (truth) is repressed & avoided. Bottom line is, you can not know about yourself at the level of cognition. So if you doubt yourself (cognitive level), then you are wrong (because you are infinite potentiality, not a describable finite ‘thing’) You then choose to continue being “right”, or, to be vulnerable & relearn the miracle that is your emotional guidance system (God). The first part of “relearning” is purification. Love flushes all your BULLSHIT out. This is triggered by willingness. The second part is contextualization of reality with the emotions involved, respected, and trusted. This is triggered simply by living life. The third part is bliss.

"On Spiral Dynamics Stage Teal" (written by me) (1) 100% Transcendence of the Mind -- including but not limited to transcendence of white-knuckle clinging to metaphysics and white-knuckle clinging to Truth Teal, unlike Turquoise and Coral, has completely (100%) transcended the Mind. Teal has reached Satori (or the Zen Mind). Teal is not white-knuckle clinging to metaphysics or to Truth. This means that Teal is not not clinging to metaphysics or to Truth either. Teal realizes that it's the Mind that clings to metaphysics and to Truth, and Teal has seen through the Mind completely. Teal allows the Mind but is no longer ignorant of the Mind making itself seem more important that it really is -- this includes but is not limited to the Mind making thought seem more important than it really is. Teal is able to live their life without being trapped inside the Mind-Matrix while also picking up the Mind when it's useful to do so and putting down the Mind when it's no longer useful. Teal knows how to do thought without thought doing them. (2) Focus on real relationships rather than abstract metaphysical love Because Teal has transcended the Mind, Teal is not clinging to any concept of metaphysical love. Teal values real relationships however and places their focus on nurturing real relationships that they care about. This doesn't mean that Teal is selfish though. Teal continues to express interpersonal compassion and contribution, but Teal is not clinging to any metaphysical love or abstraction about love being part of Truth or anything like that. That's all white-knuckle clinging by the Mind which Teal is well aware of. Teal is ok with not liking everybody. Teal is also ok with being interpersonally reactive when it's authentic and doesn't try to repress, suppress, or demonize Ego or Ego flare-ups. (See No. 6 below) Teal is very relationship-focused and uses relationships to do personal development work. (3) Authentic expression and authentic being -- full integration of the masculine and the feminine Teal realizes that both masculinity and femininity express itself in all persons. Teal watches their personas change and is mindful of their personas changing throughout the day. Teal can identify when they're in their masculine and when they're in their feminine. Teal is all about authentic expression, healing traumas, reducing shadow, recognizing personas, and following your goose-bumps (or following your bliss) whatever that might be because that's what your Ego-Mind needs to do to grow and to become more authentic (even if your Ego-Mind needs to go in a negative or destructive direction). Teal has integrated both the masculine and the feminine completely (100%). (4) Drops down from the Mind Space into the Heart-Mind Space -- this doesn't mean you lose intellect, you just don't have any ignorance regarding the Mind anymore — this is another masculine feminine integration -- full integration of the Heart-Mind Because Teal has fully transcended the Mind, they no longer have ignorance regarding the Mind. This allows Teal to descend from the heights of the Mind down into the Heart and to integrate both into the Heart-Mind. Teal has integrated the Mind and the Heart completely (100%). (5) Drops down from the Mind Space into the Body-Mind Space — this is another masculine feminine integration -- full integration of the Body-Mind Because Teal has fully transcended the Mind, they no longer have ignorance regarding the Mind. This allows Teal to descend from the heights of the Mind down into the Body and to integrate both into the Body-Mind. Teal has integrated the Mind and the Body completely (100%). (6) Realizes the Ego-Mind has pros and cons -- and doesn't demonize, repress, suppress or deny the Ego-Mind in a black-and-white kind of way Teal doesn't white-knuckle cling to the idea that the Ego is bad or an illusion. Teal doesn't white-knuckle cling to the idea that the Ego is not bad or an illusion. Teal doesn't try to repress, suppress, demonize, or dissociate from the Ego or the Mind. Teal realizes that the Ego-Mind has pros and cons, and Teal wants to maximize the pros of the Ego-Mind while minimizing the cons of the Ego-Mind. Because Teal is relationship and connection driven (real relationships and connections), they are not likely to be as selfish and solitary as Coral. Teal doesn't think they're God because they've transcended this kind of white-knuckle clinging to metaphysics and to Truth. Teal allows both the light side and the dark side of the personality.

@Ponder I used to be the same, i used to embody a similar frequency as well at one point. I still have some aspects that pop up every now but the generalized state of awareness has been significantly influenced but the absolute truth/love in which humbles and allows you to step back in awareness and observe clearly. It has little to do with being in bliss 24/7, its about being in tune with infinite intelligence and being the master observer so you do not fall into unnecessary, unconscious loops that do not allow full potential of the energy matrix within to shine its highest light. In this case you cannot "see" what the master "sees" because you are downloading far too much concepts that are really not necessary and only set you further from the truth of who you are which is simple and divine in nature. The more ideologies and concepts we imbue the more challenging it becomes to see as clearly and to have understanding rather than knowledge which are completely different in themselves when seen with the perspective i am expressing. The Tao Te Ching explains this very well. Nevertheless, its not necessarily a bad thing because we are who we are for a reason and have our unique plays in life but coming from someone who understands the matrix very well, has experienced and come to realize and mastered most of the things talked about on the forums almost a long time ago, the best advice which helps both self and other is = Less is more. The more you fill your subconscious with excess, unnecessary junk, the further from "understanding" you reside. Its easy to know things, the key is to Understand. Knowing and buying into too much ends up deluding Understanding. The most highest and most imaginable concept you can think you are yourself is really nothing compared to who you truly are. In which are still limits of your highest truth. It can only be lived, understood, felt but it cannot be expressed or claimed because soon as you fall into the vibration of "i am this" you have added a filter from your highest truth. The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

@pluto What you have to realize is that people are unique with unique personalities. I’m the same personality type as Leo (INTP), and we can’t help but conceptualise almost on a moment by moment basis, so it would be inauthentic to not spread our theories or “truths” to others. You may be content to just bliss out on love 24/7 (and more power to ya), but I’m certainly not. You also have to understand that there’s a difference between enlightenment and self-actualisation, and in my (not so) humble opinion, they are equally important. Just some food for thought (but I guess you don’t like thinking, right )

You do realize, right, that life gets infinitely better and better after enlightenment, although every day is the best day simultaneously (the whole mind-matrix consists of dualities ) But once you are in heaven (enlightened), in a relative sense, every day is better than the last. Pleasure on pleasure on pleasure on pleasure for eternity. ETERNITY!!! An enlightened being, at least in my case as my primal sign (look into it), is Taurus, just wants pleasure. Taureans aside, who doesn’t fucking love pleasure. If you could have a never-ending stream of pleasure, would you turn it down? Fuck no. It’s actual BLISS. Like you actually don’t understand. IT’S INFINITELY BLISSFUL. The mind can’t comprehend such states because the mind operates in concepts and not direct experience, but I prophesy that we will all be living the dream (so to speak ), soon enough. The apocalypse is coming, if you can’t see the signs, delusion is clouding your judgment I’m sorry. Not trying to talk down to anyone, just speaking what I know. So buckle up, the apocalypse is gonna be hella fun
