You only know very little, and what you know is what is in your direct experience right now in the moment, and you may only understand attributes to what is in your direct experience, the more you pay attention to it the more attributes you will come to know about it. "Faith = being in a place of not knowing, accepting what arises, Belief = the ego's way of labelling or controlling experience". Focus on the left hand you become the left hand, Focus on right the hand you become the right hand. Focus on the breath you become the breath. Focus on thoughts you become the thoughts. Focus on emotions you become the emotions. Focus on the pain you become the pain. Focus on another you become the other. Focus on existence you become existent (more alive/awake/present/in the moment). "The thing you are looking for is the thing that is looking" Unfocused with great intensity you become the nothingness/emptiness/silence/pure consciousness/ Samadhi, whatever. "You are looking through a small lens" To quieten down the mind they tell you to do the focus on breath meditation, actually they say you can't quieten the mind, you can only remove awareness from it. So basically you're just training where you place your awareness. To truly be one with the object/subject in your awareness the concept of "you" has to disappear, there must be no illusion of the self, there must be no self. "No one can pass the gateless gate, no one's mind has ever figured out how, and no one ever will, no one can pass the gateless gate... So. Be. No One." "There is no self that awakens, there is no you that awakens, what you are awakening from is the illusion of the separate self. From the dream of the limited you, to talk about it is meaningless there must be an actual cessation of the self to realize directly what it is, and once it is realized there is nothing that can be said about it, as soon as you say something you are back in the mind 'I've already said too much'." "Not that which the eye can see, but that whereby the eye can see: know that to be Brahman the eternal, and not what people here adore; Not that which the ear can hear, but that whereby the ear can hear: know that to be Brahman the eternal, and not what people here adore; Not that which speech can illuminate, but that by which speech can be illuminated: know that to be Brahman the eternal, and not what people here adore; Not that which the mind can think, but that whereby the mind can think: know that to be Brahman the eternal, and not what people here adore. The One Power that illumines everything and everyone is indivisible. It is the Ear behind the ears, Mind behind the mind, Speech behind speech, Vital Life behind life. The ears cannot hear it; it is what makes the ears hear. The eyes cannot see it; it is what makes the eyes see. You cannot speak about it; it is what makes you speak. The mind cannot imagine it; it is what makes the mind think. It is different from what all we know; yet it is not known either. Those who feel they know Him know Him not. Those who know that anything amenable to the senses is not Brahman, they know it best. When it is known as the innermost witness of all cognitions, whether sensation, perception or thought, then it is known. One who knows thus reaches immortality." Notice where you put focus/awareness is where things unravel? how you learn, how you get things done, notice how all unconscious activity is basically activity that robs your focus when you know it should be used elsewhere? "The degree to which a person has evolved or become enlightened is the degree to which one has gained the ability to adapt to each moment or to transmute the constantly changing human stream of circumstances, pain and pleasure into bliss."

99% of my PM's are VERY friendly and you know it. I never attack anyone in any thread out of thin air, if someone does that to me I might ask them in a PM instead of embarrassing them in public. I mean, what are you doing here if you're only interested in attacks? Look at @Faceless, he goes on day after day to share his insights and help people wake up, and all you do is attacking him. Have you seen him once do the same? Come on, this is self improvement, not an ego contest. Sometimes it feels like the forum is an inversion of its own purpose thanks to people like you. This should be a joyful journey, look at all the cute animals in this thread, see the positive. Enlightenment is the greatest thing that can happen to you. I don't like you at all, (I don't think anyone do) but I love you so so so SO much. Why do I love you so much? That's one of the benefits with enlightenment, you start to love everyone and everything. The bliss of enlightenment is huge, I really recommend you to do the work. Namaste.

@Martin123 I have experienced all of the symptoms mentioned above. @Quanty I didn't open the kundalini. I had periods of time (weeks) when it was fully open but I was not able to maintain that state for more than 2-3 weeks. I have stagnant energy in my body that was there for more than a decade and I have a hard time purging it out, I need to stabilize the sexual energy. I have a plan to focus more on that in the summer. When It was on, I was immersed in a HOT aura, the energy in the body was very stable, nothing from the outside had the possibility to trigger a reaction in my body, very light body like you're flying, no limit state - could focus on whatever for however long I wanted from the second I woke up to the end of the day - 100% discipline, very consistent with habits, productive... When I was in that state I felt like a god, pure bliss, not only piece of mind. There is nothing that I want more than that hot aura but what I'm coming back to everytime is that it's necessary to immerse myself in an environment that allows the completion of the process because there cannot be interruptions and the logistics of my environment are bad. Probably it can be done without switching the environment but it's much harder and every mistake can cost time, I have tried for 4 years to maintain that hot aura without switching my environment .. so I think the logistics play a role.

Well, this come to me during a trip where I wasn't reasoning at all. It was even more horrific then what I can express in a thread, in fact, it was infinite horrific. It was very real.. that if we lose every life line(illusions that is) even for a short millisecond we will be locked up in hell for eternity, an infinite hell for eternity. Man, I will never go near psychedelics again. I have had beautiful experiences as well, precisely those you mention, that everything is true, that truth is everything that is, that was so beautiful, so much love and peace to it. But! That VERY positive experience of resting with God in total bliss wasn't ANYWHERE near the horrific experience I had, that triumph the good experience by infinity. Being God was infinite love, it was too much of positive emotion, yet it can't even be measured compare to the horrific one. If God was infinite, hell was infinite raised to the power of infinity, infinite number of times(to use your metaphor) You see what I'm saying?

Finally someone said it! I remember an interview of Peter Ralston where he was asked why he doesn't use sales pitches like love, compassion etc. He replied that he doesn't wanna mislead people by alluring them with irrelevant stuff. Also I remember from Jed Mckenna books where he points out that the true spiritual teachers only has Truth. But the students are there for all sorts of egoic purposes/love/bliss/ecstasy/self aggrandizing etc. Thats why there is huge communication gap and almost no one wakes up. "We don't have what they want and we have what they don't want''

Feeling super motivated today to shine the light of my soul from my heart by loving myself like there is no tommorrow. That is in part thanks to Leo’s arrival back, which I was so excited to see that he is here again. I really have a personal connection with the guy from watching hundreds of hours of his videos all of last year I am God, shining brighter more and more everyday. I love my heart relentlessly, and I’ve hotten to a point where I’m just in flow now with my life, it’s getting more effortless, and easier to see love everywhere. I love love. I love, and am love at the same time. I just want to jump out of this couch I’m on with joy! There is just too many things to love! Too many exciting things to do, and exciting things happening. I hope Leo was bleesed with the divine experience he deserves. I hope that he has raised his consciousness permanently as the master I want him to be. It’s truly an amazing time to be alive if you bring love with you everywhere. If you know that it is the only answer to any question, even the almighty “who am i?”. I wish the world peace, and I wish the world joy. Since we’re all God, these blessings are planted in every heart, and in a few years, you’ll see the result. Where heaven truly comes down to Earth. Plants will be more nutritious, and grow much larger, we’ll talk telepathically, we’ll be able to teleport through visualization. But all of these gifts are byproducts, the flowers that come from the deeply embedded root of love, which in itself is so complete that you wouldn’t even desire such things, yet they will exist very soon depending on the rate each individual lives their own hearts. Mans this love is already here! It’s just that our subconscious minds have been programmed to make it invisible. But when you reprogram the mind, the love starts to reveal itself again, and it becomes all that you see. I bear witness to this, I’ve seen this change, and noticed that even the smallest glimpse of love in something you see is all it takes for you to dedicate your life to this. May we all recieve the love, joy and bliss that we are now. Peace, and thank you for reading my beloveds.

Fasting and exercising for a day or two usually doesn’t harm a healthy person, but when a fast lasts for longer durations, it can have an impact on your health. The body will also begin to use body fat, muscle to keep you moving. If you don't have any energy, you can fall down below the mind: then too a no-mind happens, but it is not meditation, if you are not blissful. It is easy to meditate if you don’t want to be blissful , it is very easy to meditate. But meditation minus bliss is not true meditation.

One of the primarily job of the ego is to choose suffering, and convince itself using stories that it's necessary. It has been estimated that potential for suffering in negative experience is about 4x stronger than potential for bliss in positive ones, from hedonistic point of view it doesn't make sense to work in a hard stressful job to get some material things as a reward, but paradoxically for a lot of people giving up would lead to potentially even more suffering because they would be tortured be ego stories about underachievement, boredom, wasting time, and how they supposed to achieve "great things", not just relax. In my expierience a big part of motivation for being social comes from feeling lonely.

He will have worse insights than before the retreat Why? Because he announced it publically. And the public always tends to interfere. Great things are done in secret Why do i say this? Because the unconscious mind of people tend to balance reality, and if one is not fully awake, suffering and disappointment arise in form of bliss (the awake ones get what i'm saying)

the rewards for opening one's heart are absolutely magical and magnifcent,pure magic, pure bliss I understand your beliefs, whichever road you take is the right one, love and support for you my friend I will share this experience I had today, love filled the space, making the sky a hundred times higher I saw human faces as big as a house, space expands and fills in, my body huge,everyone's body huge in this sea of space, my fellow ''humans' are giants the bliss and the magic of looking at someone's gigantic face, incredible, the sounds so vivid cars, cars look like advanced alien spacecraft with living light, so cool I havent taken psychedelics in months, love alters the physical space, realms beyond our imagination can be reached while we are all in harmony love isnt only simple lovey dovey stuff, it can be fucking amazing,like a rockstar, completely badass shit from higher dimensions love yourself and love others,in any way you imagine love to be, that is my recommendation

I haven’t come to experience oneness/bliss 24/7, only in brief glimpses every few weeks I share from these experiences. It’s all about vibrating higher and higher through anchoring love as much as possible. I wish you the best. I’m feel so blessed that the Dali Lama is on this forum to ask me that

Thought feeds and sustains it’s own movement in the activity of concentration. But this is a mechanical movement that must be maintained in order to sustain a sense of the gratification that is achieved in the pursuit of that pleasure. Only to seek pleasure is to seek pain. They are one and the same movement. This is to introduce thought “concentration” as a means to bring about psychological order. Only to invite thought as a means to self sooth the psyche perpetuates psychological disorder. When it comes to the psychological realm thought “concentration” has no place. When there is the cessation of thought within in the psychological realm, psychological health is nothing but bliss. FREEDOM WITHOUT THE MOVEMENT OF CONCENTRATION, “THE OSERVER” IMPLIES TOTAL ATTENTION, “ WHEN THE OBSERVER IS NOT. THE ENDING OF DUAITY. THIS IS TIMELESSNESS Have you gone into this before?

That's why it's an illusion. It's a temporary state,that will inevitably change/fluctuate to another state,then that state will fluctuate into anotheretc.,etc., The journey is about finding and abiding in that which does not change,fluctuate,come and go,appear-disappear,. Effortless Being. Sat-Chit-Ananda : Existence,Consciousness,Bliss. Not three,but One.

There is no psychological or physical body and mental body. All come together. Pain is simply uncharted territory for the mind. Example: during the release of blockages or kundalini, one feels pain and anxiety, but after the body/mind settle down in that pain, bliss arises and with it a new opening of the whole.

Like really what is the worst case scenario of fully committing to loving my heart? Like what is going to happen that is so bad? I keep holding back from fully committing because I feel as if I will not take inspired action. This is because the one in me who has desires will be loved, the one in me who takes any action will be loved! So that leaves no room for my personal will to make a decision as that one too will be loved more, not less. I will be too busy loving to ponder anything other than love, and that scares me. I'll be completely at the mercy of divine will from there on. This is the ultimate initiation from the universe to see if I'm willing to hand over my personal will so more light can enter my body. Just endless love. Just today I had to make a decision to go out with my friends or my family. And I listened to my heart which told me that friends were the best choice. It was effortless and completely without my personal input. This makes me believe that you can live like this, along with teachers I've seen online. I have been putting off this "big leap" for a while. Now after considering the question: What is the worst that can happen? All I can think of is being alone, but even then I can still make friends and my family will still be there. I just don't want to look back at this time in ten years from now, and still be thinking about making this leap. Let's just do it now, so there is no regrets One I love you at a time, I'll embody more of my higher self. One I love you at a time, the world will be free of suffering, and the 5th dimensional heaven on Earth will arise for all to relax and play in. Time to live a life of passion, abundance and relaxation through this last surrender of my ego, for from now on, it cannot outsmart me when whatever arises, even the desire to make decisions is loved and appreciated deeply. The divine shall guide my every word, and action. Enter me now spirit, I'm ready for your love to transform me once and for all, to decisively heal all emotions in me that need your love. I now attach to no thoughts, but just love them, I now attach to no feelings, but just love them. I surrender it all for love. I am the light, I am love, I am bliss. And the first thing I'll love is my fear of surrendering. I love you. Paradoxically, it requires effort to love at the start, then it becomes effortless. Edit: Actually I always change my mind on these things. I just want my approach to be gentle, soft, tender, and loving. To be fully present throughout all desires, and even act them out, fully present. This journey is like walking on a tightrope, and it's all ways a balance between putting in effort and then trusting in the rope to hold you up Peace.

When one opens up, be prepared for hell on earth, literally Only after bliss arises.

Noticed how your life was probably constructed around trying to impress people? Funny, huh? Think of it like this: you have died. You have no life. Whatever you had is gone and you laugh at yourself for being silly. If a doctor told you a month ago that you have one month to live - you would give everything for another day of whatever this is. Now you have that one more day to live. Nobody promises you tomorrow. Everything you do is meaningless. Wanting to do anything is meaningless. Your desires are meaningless. Your fears are meaningless. Your ambitions are meaningless. What do you do? Nothing. You never did anything. You were being ignorant of whatever you thought you were doing. Now you know and there is nothing to be done with this knowledge. This is total, complete, stillness. Resisting day-to-day life is meaningless. So is living it. Just sit and observe this miracle while it lasts. It is perfect. Other people are not in despair. You are mourning over your lost life, that's all. You do not mourn to re-live what had been lost. You do it to realize that what's left is also open for being lost. Mourning is the shadow of appreciation. Mourn! Appreciate! When you were being ignorant of your meaninglessness, you did not despair. Their ignorance is bliss. They chase their meaning. We sit in meaninglessness. We're not that different in our ignorance.

Give yourself today some.......... Bliss

The third eye is open around 4% when the person is uptight with tensed hara, abdomen and anus. This will translate that the energy of the brain will not be enough to "open the goat's head in 4" (coccyx). When energy is released and the breath connects to talons which is a hologram of the sexual organs then the breath continues to the base of the spine and the tail will open automatically the intestines and will activate internal organs in sync with your will. One will feel like he/she can take 5 times more air then before (if you had injuries in the legs, expect agony and bliss).

ego is the belief that you stand above, below or next to others, it is distance its the opposite of unity lets take a look at enlightenment, what is being enlightened? every second of your life, full of purpose, meaning, life, bliss, excitement, magnificence, heaven on earth how can all this be possible if only you are enlightened and the rest is not? spiritual ego how can there be heaven on earth if you mourn other people, their non-spiritual lifestyle, their suffering? you see what you are, if you see hell you experience hell, if you see ego you are ego to enlighten yourself is the beginning rise above yourself as the template of life, and now you also have to enlighten everyone else see how you are enlightened, see how your neighbour is enlightened, see how a criminal is enlightened,see how your mother is enlightened, life courses through everyone, infinite intelligence people are not human beings, they are moving galaxies, living artworks, as powerful as natural events, they are living stars, they are suns, moons, reflections, life,infinity all in symphony with ourselves once we move past the ego all this can be seen, and truly it is satisfying to see people outside of time, outside of what we think they are, what we think they represent, just their art, their energy, their presence, so magnificent, mindblowing

Sadhguru conducts programs where he takes hundreds of ordinary people at once to a bliss state, beyond the body and mind by doing shakipat. It's called Bhava Spandana

@Nadosa Look man, everyone goes through depression, apathy, and those other "dirty" emotions. They are part of the spectrum of emotions. They are equal to Bliss, and Peace. They just tend to cause irrational reaction by the experiencer. Know that what you're feeling right now is OK. It is ok to not be ok. Let it happen. It may be a coping strategy for your new higher awareness, or supressed emotions trying to escape. Know that it WILL end, and there be a day when you wake up, feel the sun on your skin, breath in and smile. As for right now. Try to drop all of your thoughts, beliefs, and ideas of where you are in life, how it should be, and how bad something is. Try to find the source of your suffering, it will take time. Sit and accept your current emotions fully. Peace.

@lukej Hey man, I myself am an aspiring musician/sage and I have a lot of the same questions as you... But you're questions are a lot better Imma try to answer all your questions to the best of my infinite intelligence. Not that I know of. And that's a good thing. The real masters probably need a good amount of research to be found. They would never be in the mainstream or anywhere near a McDonalds. "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" I think it's music that brings you into the present moment. ALL music is in the present but not all makes YOU presnetly question your reality or create feelings of bliss, excitement, joy, and love. But you must have those feelings inside of you to begin with. Music is the expression of who you are. The best musicians know who they are, accept themselves, and try to be a vessel to the muse inside of them. Have you ever wondered how new music is always created? When you think you've heard everything out comes another song to blow your mind. If you want to make conscious music quick, I recommend pyscadelics or a meditation retreat to really get you into BEING. Well instead of listening to trap music that tends to idealize drug use, material gain, and sex, which isn't wrong. You can write music about the truth you feel, personally. Strong opinions attract attention. In a sense you don't want your music to make people feel good while their listnening and right after the song is over they crave more. Music should inspire, it should recharge one's energy for life isntead of robbing creativity. Yes. Yes I do. Albums: PINK FLOYD - Dark side of the moon. JOHN LENNON - Plastic Ono Band. Songs: PASSENGER - 27, Scare away the dark Well you gotta check your ego. When you start becoming successfull at making consc. music and realizing how much more you could do you might be persuaded to tend to another audience. Mainstream pop stuff. Why? Money, fame, sex, drugs, rock and rolll etc. YOU, the ego, will go nuts for that stuff. So you just have to ground yourself in your values, regularly meditate and chill. I have read Jim Morrison of The Doors Biography and it really inspired me. Although he was heavily addicted to drugs his whole life and ended up killing himself I still think it was very motivational for me to grab life by the throat live more. That's all i got. ---------- The best part of being a musician is that you are free to do WHATEVER you want with your art. You are god, be a revolutionary, make something s new and mindbending people sob orgasmically when they listen to your stuff. Music is so much more than Top 50 Hits. That's like %0.1. Just dive into it. HAHAHAHHAHA. First of all. It's not even you whos creating music. Ask yourself where thoughts come from. YOU are an instrument for god/infinite creativity/love. AND THEN you play another instrument to express it. Mastery of an instrument is mastery of expressing godThere is nothing to worry about. I think writers block is being stuck in the same "awareness level" for too long. DO SHROOMS, MEDITATE, READ and you'll never run out of music. Good luck. Love Adam.

@moon777light Yeah. Only for the Truth though. Ignorance can be bliss.
