  1. This is why your "Practice" is the everyday, moment to moment experience, accept it all as it is, live it now as it is, be less judgemental, less opinonated, less like/dislikes, mix it with pure sadhana like pranyama, asanas, japa, samadhi practices on a regular consistent basis then one can establish equanimity within themselves. Do not think Enlightenment, pure oneness experiences, sidhi powers and shit like this, just make Yourself Peaceful for 2hrs a day no matter what is going on around you, then make it 10hrs a day, then the whole day then the whole week, then turn Peace into Bliss as your foundational experience, step by step one can do this, and by doing it then Enlightenment is within reach...
  2. The Potential is within all of Us, using the dmt or other such things, it can bring You to a partial experience, but you cannot stay there as it dispates as the drug wears off, with Yoga (Yoga meaning a technology/method) it can bring You there and You can stay there at will, but it is a different path for everyone since everyone has a different karmic structure within themselves, stored on many levels most are not conscious of, this is why the Living Guru is important, a true one can recognize Your kamic structure and via his own energies and perception design a program for You to consistently use to get there, now having this feeling of Oneness and Bliss is just the beginning as well, its not the end game..it establishes a foundation of equanimity for You to explore more of what it means to be human. The main problem in today's world is there's too much varied info coming from too many sources on how to get there, it causes confusion and ppl think they can do it on their own, for the most part they cannot...
  3. enjoy your wall fetish my friend just a couple of questions: do you like em white or colored? do you bliss out monogomously with one wall only or you flirt with other walls aswell? how bout a quickie with the wall at the cafe? thats sexy in a weird way. byeeee lol great videos buddy. i like that option
  4. Lol Psychedelics are candy compared with the peaks I´ve touched on my own, no substances. Here´s a hard fact for you: Psychedelics have a certain chemical configuration, I guarantee you they can not put you into all the states that are possible. Try to have a cocaine, MDMA, or heroin high with psychedelics. It won´t happen. And viceversa. The thing with chemicals is, they are limited to their molecule configuration. You guys trip and think that´s all that Consciousness is. Nope... There is much more. But you will have to have your 'inner chemical configuration' withouth any external stimuli that limits it. Still, I won´t be the one that says 'psychedelics are bad'. LSD is a 'simple molecule' yet what states and connection it can put you. Quite amazing. Still, LSD can NOT provide the Bliss I´m talking about. Absolutely. And for some people is precisely what is neccesary to give the 'first push' into mysticism and something beyond psychological activity. But they have their limits. When you reach them, you'll have to seek other tools. You have it completely backwards. Psychedelics can take you only that far. Then you'll see how limited they were. Look man, is a process of refinement. If you have told me 10 years ago before even popping my first acid to do Yoga, I would have told you what kind of waste of Time is this. Now...well, I won´t change the places I can touch doing a simple Asana for any kind of psychedelic high. I´ll tell you that. 😂
  5. Ha, you wish you have tasted the bliss of knowing how to merge and dissolve into a wall. Talk about 'deep connection'. I prefer to be blissed out with the wall. From that, developing a deep connection will be no issue. If you know how to dissolve and connect to a wall, to actual inert objects, you will have no issue in developing deep connections to the normal 'relationships' human have, which humans. But I get your point 🙏
  6. He is the Fountain of joy - Joy and Joy alone is His Being. A state exists in which there is only Bliss, Beatitude, Supreme Felicity. At your level, joy has its opposite; you speak of the joys of heaven and the torments of hell. But where there is Eternal Bliss - Bliss in its own right cannot be expressed. It is entirely beyond such words as "what is or what is not?" To speak means to float on the surface. What language can express that which is neither floating nor diving deep? Man's duty - especially for those who have made the Supreme Quest their one and only aim - is to work joyfully for the uplift of the world, with the conviction that all service is His service. Work done in such a spirit helps to purify the mind and heart. - Words of Ma Anandamayi as recorded by Richard Lannoy. God fulfills the wish of a seeker of truth. He manifests Himself in the way one wants Him and He does whatever He wills. He awakens as well as fulfills the longing of the mind. It is the duty of man to keep the mind in God’s remembrance, japa, meditation, and daily rituals regularly and wholeheartedly. On the path of sadhana, there should be no accumulation of exhaustion in the mind. The more the mind is kept clean, the more it will be helpful to proceed in that (spiritual) path. If anger comes in the mind, try to remove it. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma In the Reality, He who is as being all, without being too, it is He only. Therefore, the distinction of manifest-unmanifest is from the point of view of the individual only. He, who is manifest, it is He only who is unmanifest. Again, He, who is unmanifest, it is He only manifest. Where the devotee, devotion and object of devotion is the same One, what else is devotion but a play? That which is there in the unmanifest, the same, indeed, appears in the manifest. Verily, Reality is everywhere at all times.
  7. Hi @Asia P i hope you are doing good today since i got my first awakening at age 14-15 i can relate with that, it changed me radically, my family are so different from me now tho i love them i live away from them and i can't really live with them, i changed my whole path and really hated school i went to choosing art so i too lost many of my old interest my whole world views shifted too, took me a lots of time almost 10 years to rediscover my self and understand what have happened to me, you still need a degree of discipline in your life and you might have really hard time rediscovering your true self and true passions i struggled with the same thing also your family might be traditionally minded too it might be really difficult for you to accept your true self and move on from what you life was like well i wanna add 2 most important thing i have learned is to learn to trust my self and follow my heart or my bliss whispering in obi one voice "may the force be with you", "feel the force"
  8. This is part of the buddhist wisdom about suffering. Through that lens, let's inquiry, what is suffering? Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. Suffering is the resistence to the what is, to reality, to existence, to the here-now. The more you are at peace or in love with what is, the less resistence there is to life, the more love and bliss we fill. This is the theory, let's ground it in practice. Right now ask yourself this question, what am I resisting to feel right now? Close your eyes, see and when you notice, directly feel that, and open it. Nice, for example I noticed I'm resisting to feel hunger right now because I should have had breakfast some minutes ago but still wanted to be more in the forum, so I supressed hunger to keep being here. Now I feel that and will go to have breakfast after it. What are you resisting or unconscious in your body right now? Close your eyes and look, open and release. I notice that thoughts come in the way to fully feeling my body but as they come they dissappear. I feel that I'm contracting my stomach and perinneal region. Noticing actuamatically makes me relaxed and more in the body. I also feel some pain in my ribs from playing football which I am resisting. There is pain, (unavoidable) but I was resisting pain (avoidable), now that I'm conscious of this, I have pain but no resistence to pain, I allow everything to be as it is. What are you avoiding in the space you are right now? I'm resisting to clean but also I resist things being unclean. Which is absurd in itself, rather I clean or be happy even if it's unclean, oh we are starting to see through suffering! Is there suffering without thoughts? (Why are you waiting for my answer I could be deluded, see 4 yourself) Mostly there isn't. Without the improper use of the egoic mind most of the suffering disappears. Still some suffering realities are not directly mediated by thought, like contractions in the body or just unconscious wiring that is present without expressive thought in the moment. Is there suffering without the human I ? (Let's link impermanence, no-self, emptiness and nirvana) As one sees that nothing really lasts in the world, surrender to the now naturally emerges, allowing everything to be as it is. As one sees through the stupidity of suffering, clinging and unnatural attachements... all created by the egoic mind. Which assumes that there is a human, inside the body, somewhere, to whom pain, suffering and thoughts all occur to. There are thoughts but no thinker, the thinker is just another thought, there is pain and pleasure but they arrive at no one and arise from nowhere. As everything is impermanent you see that what you think you are is never graspable but an optic illusion that seems there, but upon closer inspection... Oh there is no human without resistence to the now! This makes you feel hollow and empty, there is no substance to your human self, yet something is, however is cosntantly fluid. You come to realize that you are free from yourself, entering into a deep present open and peaceful state called nirvana. Characterised by desirelessness, which is heaven, because whatever happens to be here and now, there is no aversion and no clinging, no resistance and no acceptance, no resistance to resistance & no acceptance to acceptance, whatever is just is
  9. You seem far more practical to me than anyone else on the forum. I enjoy you keeping us spiritual goners in check when we fall into what is essentially a k-hole, ranting about our solipsist paranoia of constructing everyone and everything and spouting equations without grounding I myself am going through a lot of input and integrating tons of psychedelic states and insights. Truly, words point to something, but a pointer needs to be experienced to be understood the context of and one's interpretation of what it means without the experience of what it is can purely be a delusion. Like trying to grasp what the color blue is without ever having seen it. It is only ever itself. Rational impersonal learning is messy, flawed, conceptual, impractical, inexperienced and perspectival. A thing is only what you know it to be and all feelings are an interpretation on top of reality based on some observed correlating tendencies. When people talk about life being a dream, they intuit that the ego they built up their entire life is arbitrary and an illusion, and they abstract that notion to the rest of reality. In a way, it is true. We're only ever making sense of qualia, but that's not what it feels like. Life is full of love, hate, meaning, fear, bliss, joy, sadness, and is infinitely personal. Dream and Reality dissolve and become one, it is just as imaginary as it is real, but it exists for sure.
  10. Hi there, ✌️❤️ my friend this kind of sounds like a subconscious avoidance of reality. I mean I totally get it, life can feel overwhelming and to in your face. Ime awakening is not about dropping everything or becoming a kind of meditating pacifist that resides in a permanent bliss state or whatever. Nor is it the dropping away of the self, or the end of habitually thinking! (And simultaneously it includes all of this as well) See, the phrase dropping away suggests that there is something that needs to happen for awakening to occur for a someone. That is obviously another conditioned thought right? Instead of thinking more.....look for the thinker all together. Go to the source if there is one 😉 Who is lost in the mind? Is there an actual experiencer(ME) lost in the mind, or is that just another thought/assumption? What does me consist of? ❤️
  11. The ice has broken! Piles of snow and blocks of old frost that covered up the “inner knowing” have started to slowly melt and move forward, carried away by the current of the ever-present awareness. This thick, crude perception of identity, like an iceberg has crumbled into small pieces. I am not that thick, solid glacier of ice anymore; this “I” feels more like scattered broken chips of everything: feelings, emotions, sensations. But “I” am not there. And here comes this desirable anticipated bliss, euphoria. Mind is still. Self-love is the most fundamental principle of Reality. Time and space are not, but Self-love is! It is not your egoic little self-love, it is Love toward the whole Being/Self. Sometimes, we do not notice it, but we are always in love with Being, even when suffering. You love your life no matter what because it is yours, and you wouldn’t want to be someone else, even if you had a chance to be. It is rather a subtle feeling. You must remove all other “noises” to notice it. The big barrier is your mind. It is always busy constructing things. But really, everything happens on its own, without a doer. And your mind is just a lost CEO who thinks it owns a very big corporation. It wants to think about its importance and power. During your life course people and circumstances will trigger you. It will require superhuman effort and will power to start practicing and morph your life to reach Realization. You must train your mind to stay aware during the whole entire day. But at the end, when you see that others are You, tricking you, then triggering you into the game, the big rock falls from your shoulders. You don’t react anymore. And this state of acceptance is where you want to be. It is your inner peace. Things happen, but you are peaceful, without any effort. But to get to this place, you must go through some turmoil. Years of practice, self-awareness, meditations, journaling, you name it. But it’s worth it. And by far, this knowledge is the most valuable thing you could ever ask for…
  12. Let´s see if sadhguru stuff is real. I think it might be. I quit all drugs, going full on with inner engineering. This last weekend was like being on a psychedelic. I was re-wiring the simettry of my own cells to be in harmony with everything outside...pure madness. I Couldn´t imagine this level of Purity and Openness could be real without psychedelics some years ago. I wouldn´t have believed you. Although, I must be honest: Still no real 'panel of control' developed. Still some hours I feel fear. Still miss the easy bliss of drugs. Well, I guess is a long process. You must have to be completely crazy for it. You must throw your whole fucking life for it if you really want LIGHT and Winning this game.
  13. I'm 7 days off! It feels like It has been a year HAHAHA. Life feels like is x1000 more alive and active. I have such a clarity of mind and consciousness. Yet sometimes my body wants that sweet feeling of slowing down everything and feeling physically at ease 🫠 I Guess ill have to have patience. Probably Will take me months if not year to completely forget the feeling of opiates. I can not imagine the possibility of always missing that feeling. But 50% maybe i already have It naturally, and It Will come once chemical inbalance is healed. 7 days is very little. The other 50% i might have to manufacture It on my own with my spiritual tools. Either way im not putting myself a chemical again ever 😡 fuck slavery. I have to produce Bliss from within or die trying in this lifetyme. I know a lot can be done.
  14. You only want Love because it brings you to an experience of Bliss, so that is what You and most everyone is after, with Love (Love as we normally define involves a relationship of sorts, it can be with another person, place or thing), it is on the emotional level and involves You including the other as a part of Yourself emotionally. Its the same with ambition or conquest but not on the emotional level, ambition your looking to go out and achieve or accumulate something, conquest is about controlling something to make it a part of yourself. I've been following Sadhguru since 2009, been thru two of his programs and agree, he is for sure one of the most Spiritually Realized Beings on the planet, but he has a way of explaining Truth like know one I have heard before, its simple direct and appeals to my logic/intellect tremendously, but the methods he shares work very effectively too, so that is the real deal concerning the methods. I don't believe he is in it for fame, money or success ego wise, otherwise why build temples, do save soil, and such activities. I've watched a few of Leo's videos and seen long interviews with him. in the end on the level of Intellect and communication they talk about things in similar ways with their own unique way of doing so, but I don't see where Leo is actually sharing methods other than intellectual tools to help one transform, maybe I am wrong on that front. Sadhguru is more than an Enlightened being, a Guru knows the mechanics of life inside and out, other do not!
  15. UPDATE: Three large corporate media houses – The Washington Post (US), Outlook Magazine (India), and Dinamalar (Tamil Nadu, India) – removed their articles that carried disinformation against the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) Nithyananda Paramashivam and KAILASA. It is probable that in the following weeks other newspapers start removing their articles in a domino effect. I feel it is my duty to give you another perspective of what is going on and you make up your mind: Nithyananda is like the Pope but for hindu's and Kailasa like the Vatican. His vision is to make an Enlightenment-centric Country, a whole Ecosystem and lifestyle, where everything helps you to realize ParamaShivoham. Parama (Ultimate/Infinity) Shivo (God/Consciousness) Ham (that's me). His core teaching is this Mahavakyas: ॐ (Om) Nithyananda (Nithya= already, ananda=love/bliss) ParamaShivoham. Which is roughly translated as: I am already blisfully God. Om Nithyananda ParmaShivoham. He says that the only reason he is alive is to tell this one truth, you are Paramashiva, you are God. The technology he has used and teaches are the different Hindu sampradayas or paths, which he is a Master in all and was thoroughly trained since he was 3 years old. A as well as his family before he was even born, based on some astrological predictions and as per the science of incarnation, master's from the incarnation sampradaya tested the young kid to know if he was an avatar. It was confirmed so, from that point he learned from many Gurus that also recognized him as such. You could razionalize it as a way to recognize superconscious human mutants. Taken care and raised by Gurus from Tiruvannamalai, his birthplace, like Sri Ramana Maharishi, Yogi RamsuratKumar, Tatwale Baba... to name a few. Mastering many sampradayas and attaining the highest realization in all: Kashmir Shaivism, Shaktism, Jnana Yoga, Advaita Vedanta, Bhakti Yoga, Deity Worship, Mantra&Sound, Karma Yoga, Hatha Kundalini and Kriya Yoga (In 1999, amidst the Himalayan landscape of Gaurikunth, Babaji bestowed upon him the name Paramahamsa Nithyananda), Tantra, Ayurvedic Medicine, Siddha Tradition... It is precisely these broad mastery of such diverse paths which is both his greatest strength and turn off, now we can appreciate why he is so misunderstood. Let's now reflect upon his life: Reviver of Kailaasa the Ancient Enlightened Hindu Civilizational Nation Declared as successor Of Arunachala Sarvajnapeetam by Guru Parampara Coronated as Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of Thondaimandala Aadheenam, the oldest monastic university, at the tender age of 10 (in 1998) Founded: The mission Nithyananda Sangha at age 21 (in 1999) – to Revive the Enlightened Civilization Founded Adi Kailasa at age 25 (in 2002) Coronated as 293rd Guru Mahasannidhanam of Madurai,SHYAMALAPEETHASARVAJNA PEETHAM the oldest Hindu papal state and the monastic kingdom at age 34 (in 2012) Officially coronated as Mahamandaleshwar (Supreme Spiritual Head) of Maha Nirvani Akhada largest apex monastic order, the youngest Mahamandaleshwar at age 35 (in 2013) Declared as Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Atal Akhada (the oldest monastic order in Hinduism) at age 35 (in 2013), by Acharaya Mahamandleshwar Sukhdevanandji, the then incumbent spiritual head. Coronated as Guru Mahasannidhanam of Swargapuram at age 37, Chola Dynasty’s Guru’s unbroken lineage from the 13th century (in 2015) Elected as a Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism by a congregation of 1000 Hindu leaders (Pontiffs), at age 38 (2016) Revered as Teacher of Hinduism, most prolific, most viewed, read & watched Over 10,000 hours of discourses, over 1 billion views on social media Respected as Commentator of all Sacred Scriptures such as Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Shiva Sutras, Yoga Sutras, Ashtavakra Gita, Jain Sutras, etc. Reviver of Ten ancient Hindu Sampradayas in the border of extinction including the Rudrakanyas/ Rudras, Rishis / Rishikas, Bhairavas / Bhairavis, Sanyaasis. Founder & Reviver of Over 100 Sarvajnapeethas First ever leader in the history of India to be the succesdor of both south and north temples. Establisher of the Largest Hindu University in the world with satellite campuses in 110 countries Establisher of 1000+ Kailaasa enlightenment ecosystems Holder of Three Guinness World Records in the field of Yoga Collector of The largest Hindu library with over 1 million books, 1 million palm leaf scriptures, and over 20 million digital books Authored 300 books in 26 languages, with over 20 Million books and articles sold, read and downloaded What approach do I recommend to his work? This is tricky, very tricky. Don't become part of his organization, why? Because it's for a hindu and oriental psyche. Also people are people, as this forum is this forum despite Leo. What should be your approach then? INITIATION Don't listen to what he says, the best he says in silence and INITIATION. So if you resonated with him search for Bhava Samadhi Darshan Nithyananda. He enters in powerful meditation trances and is able to transmit divine aspects of Reality, different forms of God (Murthys). Experiment and see which form you like more. I like Mahasadashiva, Kalabhairava and Dakshinamurthy for example. Then do your sadhana, and enter consciously into darshan, connect with ParamaShiva. Once you like a form and you have some experience, take a psychedelic and watch darshan, now you will be blown away. If anyone does it, feel free to post here your experience.

  16. Yes I agree, once the garbage is gone, the Bliss is there naturally, it can't be "fabricated" as you say, its our basic nature once surival is taken care of, if survival is not taken care of then that takes over, intellect rules, accumulation of ppl, places and things happen and life goes on as in animal kindom...
  17. Read Santatagamana's books in order: Kriya Yoga Exposed The secret Power of Kriya Yoga Kundalini Yoga exposed The yoga of non-dual consciousness First one, shows you the basic practice for when you start, the fundamentals The second one is more details into correct practice and more advanced practices for when you have been practicing the first one for long The third book will show you how kundalini works and how to lessen its side-effects, along with a routine plan that you can stick to, it explains kundalini yoga and tells you the practice routine to do and also demonstrates the alternative practice routines for kriya yoga (that's what you are supposed to follow) The fourth book, how to bring the practice to daily life. Leo incorporates Gamana's techniques with J.C stevens, whose book is called "Kriya secrets revealed" Personally, I would say just read Gamana's book and practice according to that, and read the megathread slowly At some point afterwards, you can read either J.C stevens book, or Ennio Nimis book (free online), which will fill you up on the details and other things, since Gamana's books are pretty short, you can finish each one in 2 or 3 days, hell, you can even finish each one in a day, so I would say use them for practice and the other books for theory. Gamana's approach is to basically: use only the most fundamental and potent kriya awakening techniques to calm the mind and raise kundalini, once you calm the mind, now you are in something called the "post practice state", now you melt in this state of no mind, purification and bliss, and abide in your true nature for as long as you want. The traditional approach: keep learning more complicated and time consuming techniques, getting lost in techniques. You can find all the books free online with a bit of piracy
  18. @Squeekytoy Yes true. Trying to stop an urge is not the correct way imo, you just have to replace it with natural Bliss. In my experience the basic equation of life is acquire more pleasure and avoid more pain, but its complex. I work at a job, its not a dream job, its not my life mission or reason I am here but it pays the bills, its not too bad or too good, I can deal with it on a daily basis, so the equation of pleasure vs pain is being managed, I receive more pleasure getting paid from doing a job I don't really want to be doing, than being broke and homeless on the street, So is it possible to naturall feel Bliss without doing anything or taking anyting? Yes in my experience it is, so if one is curious enough abou this then pursue how to do it for yourself. If one doesn't know anything about it, or that this possibility doesn't exist, then go on with life as it is, intellect will bring You thru it in basic form, you are born, you work have a family, get old and die, having simple pleasure along the way, but lots of pain and suffering too. But we live in the information age, anyone search for more to life than that will find information that says you can create your own Bliss naturally, so if curious enough go thru this process, if it works it will replace the complusive need to masturbate and receive a moment of Bliss, when You are naturally in Bliss all the time,,,
  19. @Squeekytoy Since we are not separate from nature, we are a part of it, when we experience that connection, that our essence is nature, we experience Bliss, this is more of our natural state of being, if a baby is feed and brought into a safe and pleasant environment, it will feel blissful naturally, if the opposite is happening, then it will feel suffering, so nature is perfect in its essence, if we humans were not here then it would be flurishing wonderfully, the planets are spinning, the sun is shining, things are happening naturally in a sort of perfection (creation and destruction, when it comes to material/physicality of existence, is perfect in its cycle, what has been created will someday be destroyed and another new thing is created...) so natural state to me is getting back to Bliss and feeling connected with the intelligence that allows all this to happen as it is...
  20. The Idea of Innocence, of being naive to the horrors of the world, is innocence, which a child would have, since it is not aware of the horrors of the world unless it is being brought up in it for real. So only what You are aware of is reality for You, so Enlighenment is being Aware of everything, conscious that there are ppl suffering hell right now, and there are ppl living very happy lives right now, and that You can either suffer the ppl that are suffering and add to it, or make Yourself into what You want to see in the world, Innocence in the light of Knowing there are horrors going on right now, that is the basics of Enlightenment I would think, a child is not enlighened in their experience, as Leo said, they just don't know and are in a more natural state of Bliss than us adults hanging on to our baggage:)
  21. @Someone here Yes exactly. Desire is the life process in Human form. Once a Human acquires/accumulates something, and it produces an experience within them, that is slavery in a way, then they will want more. So if someone wins 10Million$$, they will be happy for a bit, then want more, this is one's unbounded nature coming forth as Desire, within Us there are two main forces, the force of Self Preservation, which builds walls and protective physical/mental barriers around us, then there is the force to be Unbounded and completely Free, no limits, no boundaries, no barriers, so if one tries this via a physical way, via drugs, sex, success/wealth/material creation, etc,,it will never end, and in the end cause suffering, as you cannot buy yourself, or success youself into Bliss, which in the end is what You are wanting from all these things Bliss. So Bliss is what our True nature is, find it consciously then it is yours whenever You want without external help of any kind, that is why we have Yoga and other Eastern practices to help us get to this point..
  22. @Someone here Whats happening is the persons hormones are hijacking their intellects, their ability to see other or experience other things and receive the same Bliss. In their action of jacking off, they feel a moment of Bliss, that is what they are after, its the same for the person looking at the sunset or mountain range or listening to some beautiful music, it the Bliss in the moment, but it comes then goes, this is what Happinesss is, moments of Bliss coming and going. We all have the potential to feel Bliss all the time, but it takes striving, if your hijacked via hormones or intellectual obsession with sex/porn, then it will take more striving. The Pain of Ignorance will soon come to them, either in this lifetime or another, then the striving will come to feel Bliss all the time:)
  23. Why because of infinite diversity. It is its truth its absoluteness. That's right keep distracting yourselves so that I can forget again. Thanks for the distractions. Get rid of the concept of beginning and ending. get rid of the word concepts God is having this experience right now. There is no now. God is always experiencing God. What you essentially saying is that the ego is some other entity other than God. It's imaginary. And you are also imagining that you are changing your mind. So it becomes a reality. Reality does not need an explanation of itself because it already is itself, just by being. Don't you see you were never the body to begin with. God is infinite obscurity. You are the answer. You alone condition yourself on how to see reality You talk about reality as a separate entity just as the ego is some separate thing it's all you All thoughts, thoughts about thoughts are consciousness. Once the duality collapses there are no thoughts no thinking? Of course, there is infinite consciousness is always conscious of its thoughts and ideas. Feelings are thoughts perceptions But you see you are still a sheep to reality. God is a reality so I decide what reality is. Reality does not decide or define me. Certain word definitions define themselves or incorporate everything in one. In a way, you imagine there is a disaffiliate of oneself. Change does not require death. You are assuming that death exists. Infinite manifestations of the same universal mind. Who thinks the thinker? think about it. Infinity is God's playground. The ego is not separate from God it is God. No, you are making a distinction that there is a distinction. God is an infinite ego awareness creates knowledge. You are still giving your opinion upon someone else's opinion. The problem is if you keep comparing yourself to others. You aren't being true to yourself so stop idealizing others and start idealizing yourself. No one to change but you. God's form is every form and no form. The ego is like a safeguard. All are just for show distractions or if you will background noise. Why does it need a beginning or an end or a reason to exist Except it has and always was and always will be. It just is. You were always there you just had to become aware of being aware. It can redefine itself. It has no definition but also every definition. Infinite definition and no definition. It does not need or have to define itself. I always do love this surrender to whom?? All Spirituality is imaginary just like religion don't get too lost in your own self-deceptions now. God is an infinite dimensionless dimension. There is no before or after there isn't really a now there just is infinite mind. He is a travesty to his logic. Remember when I said distractions within distractions and everything is a distraction from the get-go? He is way too scientific. I guess infinite Ignorance is infinite bliss Logan's Run. Awareness does not need to awaken. God is in a sense is always awake it just imagines itself asleep. Infinite masks of God god playing God playing god playing God forever. The unknown factor made this dream somewhat fun. Imagine knowing every outcome of every event before it was actualized It defeats the purpose of the game. In other words, you knew exactly what was behind every door and then the next door, and so on and so on. Would you still play the game? Now if there was an infinite number of possibilities and outcomes wouldn't be more fun as opposed to being on autopilot. Not knowing how the story will unfold. It is the same as reading a book if you knew how it ends would you still read it? But of course, there are a lot of books and movies that one never knew how it would unfold until the end and one still will keep watching that movie or reading that book again even knowing the outcome. Perhaps. When things start to become predictable predictable. Who do you think created AI? Think about it. You have only ever been competing against yourself. ChatGPT nice try II. God starts to see through its own Pentimento. You are right when you are wrong and wrong when you are right. I am subservient to know one. Why would God need to bow to himself let alone anything else like the Universe or Reality? You are obsequious to all the deceptions. This is a psychedelic experience from the get-go. it's, not a matrix. To experience your depth. Have they touched God? You mean God touching God. Too many what-ifs. God breaks its own heart/Then destroys everything. Infinity asked itself why am I infinite by the very definition of having no beginning or end. This means both the beginning and end must cancel each other out. You don't just experience God. You are God and have always been. Surrender to reality? What does that make a reality? Something other than you? So reality is God? Then you are not God, and you are but a sheep to it. God has no gender. You have only ever been competing against yourself. God is a softie at heart. To lose is to win And he who wins shall lose.
  24. Is it true that the smaller our shadow becomes the more bliss we feel ? Or the more accepting and loving (not feeling shame around that thing ) of the whole universe we are the more our mind is simmilar to gods mind and that is bliss ?Or as would you say unconditional love .
  25. So i thought this is the place to vent to . I really need help . For last 4 mounths i have been battling my ego and fell into an depression even had thoughts of ending it . I realised i have everything i want . Every goal i wanted to achive , succes , beeing fit , funny etc . All was a requirment for me to love my self . Always judging myself . Having problems of not feeling good enough since my childhood . But last year it changed and i achieved all those ( if this happend i would be happy ... ) and after some time THE BAR GOT RAISED and it tottaly creeped me out . You cant BECOME GOOD ENOUGH . The reality is neutral we are just judging it . I also had a vision how i am everything , like every emotion ... personality , all exists in my essence and i believe when you reach those goals (when you pleased the ego how it sees the reality should be ) you get the glimpse of that essence inside of you as award . Why you want that is cause you feel like that rush of unconditional love that full acceptance ( its like core confidence indeed is full acceptance ) its like the more accepting i became the smaller my shadow has become the more love and happines (bliss) i felt , confidence also . I realised all the feelings i give my self . But due to conditioning we all judge what is good enough or worth of love , respect , sadness ... I feel as if the more can we love and accept the universe (self) , the more we are going to be happy . So if i imagine gods mind as the universe everything that exists (truth) is worth of love because the god accepted it , as us the more we accept and the more our mind becomes like the mind of god the more at home and the bigger bliss we would feel cause what you ressist it cant exist in your reality , truth = love ?? The less i need to control the happier i have been . Now i am not sure in all this but i feel and remember this felt like truth but after time its lik fog occupied my conscioussnes . Am i on the right path ? I feel like giving up and starting my normal life again cause its been paused for some time and i feel like i got even more lost ?
