@Someone here This is bs. If you would have truly awakened you would know what death is.

These kind of music can deeply enrich your meditations or even lucid dreaming adventures and best of all everything is scientifically supported! Did you know for example that it is even scientifically proven that Meditation Deactivates The Brain's "Anxiety-Center" Amygdala? Meditation works to balance both hemispheres of the brain, forcing them to work in harmony. Scientists call this "whole brain synchronization" and when achieved, your brain experiences extremely beneficial changes in hemispheric blood flow and chemistry. What does this mean for you? Your mind will become more awakened, focused, deep, more powerful yet peaceful. By integrating both hemispheres of your brain and allowing them to work in sync, you will experience an increase in overall mental health, enhancing cognitive performance, better memory and intellectual functioning. You will begin to notice a limitless supply of insightful thoughts, with far less anger, anxiety, depression, and fewer bad habits. You will be happier, more optimistic, while feeling more "at one" with the world. All of these benefits do build one on top of the other, accumulating over time. It is very important that you listen with headphones in order to experience the full potential of 8D sound technology and frequency healing. Music also contains brainwave entrainment, supported by science. ☀️ Multi Layered 8D Ambisonic Audio ☀️ These Modulations Optimize your Brain as a Sound Receptor by moving the sound in 360 degrees Around Your Head. Many Sound Layers have different/seperatemovement paths in order to activate many different parts of the brain at once. Ambisonic audio is commonly called "The 8D Audio". I wish you an amazing and peaceful journey, peace really became an luxury in these times. Just close your eyes, and if you dont have much free time, just give it couple of minutes. Thank you so much for your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeKpzD-zAOI

Sure! Still feeling like an awakening happened for you even though you was seen to be a conditioned illusion. Decisions being made faster and without much effort which can come off as very egotistical. Feeling stuck between two realities. (awakened & asleep) Feeling separate and alone even though separation was seen to be unreal. Wanting to jump on a flight somewhere and start a new life. Wanting to change your name and identity or wanting to disappear. Wanting to travel and find others that have had similar experience. Feeling like I alone know the truth and others are completely ignorant of this truth. Wanting to do things that felt off limits or wrong prior to awakening. ❤

@Judy2 no, it matters wether you use the word GOD, or not. Otherwise you could just say, you have awakened to the fact, that you are "a piece of shit." No, God is a much better word. There are other good words, like infinity for example, but God is simply the best. This is not a fight, this is simply a statement, people shouldn't be misguided. If you think word God isn't the best, you propably haven't awakened fully.

If you think that asking members in the forum whether or not they have awakened will make of you a spiritual authority, you are deeply mistaken. I have no intention to play this foolish game of who is awakened or not. That is just another ego trap, which you have obviously fallen into. I hereby decline your suggestion.

@Batman have you awakened to the fact that you are God? I suggest you to read the wikipedia definition of the word God, if you don't understand its meaning.

@michaelcycle00 It did not happen over night, was very gradual. But all of this intellectualization. "I" am still on the pathless path . When I was six, I started searching for God and was trying to explain my existence. Understanding of Reality deepens every day. I cannot say anything about "my" awakening. Awakening? What is awakening? "I" understands only one thing: whatever is available to "me" in a given time, there I am. This is all I know. Truly. How can I know about awakening? I cannot compare "mine" it with the "other"...I know only "mine". Whatever comes from the "outside" experience, stays as "outside" experience! Inner and outer is one, so I am the only awakened being. Me is Other. There is no other.

God is the best world to describe reality. If you want to evaluate someones degree of awakening, ask them what they are. If they do not use the word God, they most likely didn't get to the deeper waters. Why is God the best word? It is simple: The word "God" is associated with certain qualities, all of which apply to truth / reality / this present moment. These qualities are: Singularity: God is singular. There is nothing else. Only God exists Intelligent: God is intelligence itself. God is infinitely intelligent All-powerful: God is Power itself. Infinite Power. When God snaps his fingers, our entire Universe appears out of nowhere Loving: In fact, God IS Love, unconditional infinite Love Source/Creator: God is the Souce/Creator from which our entire reality came from Why do people use words other than God? It is simple, and I know it will hurt your spiritual ego: You are asleep. People calling reality "the present moment", "a movie", "the Now", etc. are simply not awake. Being fully awake you would realize that what you called "the Now" is simply GOD, and that the word God is a much more accurate word to describe what they previously called "the Now." Many people in our days have realized the truth of "No-Self", meaning that your psychological identity is an illusion. However, too many people create a new kind of identity out of that realization, an "I am no-self-realized and awakened" identity. They get attached to the idea that they are awake now, even though they have no plausible explanation of where this present moment came from, who created it, etc., and they start preaching no-self as if it is the end-all, be-all. One great example of this is a previous mod of this forum (@Nahm) who took neo-advaita way too far and therefore got demoted. The Truth... The Truth is simple and easy to put into words. People who disagree with the following statement are simply not awake: You are GOD. You are the Source of all of Reality. You are Love. You are Singular. You are all-powerful, infinitely intelligent, you are eternal Infinity. Again. When people shy around using these words, they simply don't understand the highest truth. Yes, of course you have no "self", yes of course you are "the present moment"... But have you realized what "no self" means, have you seen what this present moment really is? This present moment, as it is, is only 1 thing: GOD. You are God, dreaming that you are a small creature that has realized no self. You are NOT a small creature. Wake up NOW!

Entertainment I guess The why really doesn't matter as long as I'm awakened to Truth that Leo and I are God/One (this includes you too).

Beliefs are beliefs. And truth is truth. Either you awaken or you don't, this truth will make itself evident in your vibration, my friend, which is the way you live your life. You're familiar with the old saying: life is a test. What do you suppose it is that is being tested? It is your truth.. here, we can only live our truths, thus.. freewill is law, for one only ever is and does what s/he is willing to be and do. This is Truth. There's no way around it. So, for instance, if you believe that love is God.. but have not truly awakened to it.. then rest assured that this truth will reveal itself in the way you live your life. Truth is not a matter of choice. It does not need you.. it is you who needs it. Whether you choose it or your logic over it, this does certainly nothing to the truth. Learn the truth, don't learn the truth.. doesn't matter, it's still there.. forever.

Evolution is the flow of life, it is the only nature to life, and it is happening right in front of our eyes. This is no story or idea to me, it is truth, I am directly aware of it. There is no such thing as direct experience without evolution, everything is but one evolving experience.. something I have also learned. And you are aware of it too, except you know it as time.. unless somehow you don't have the experience of time? What people call time I call evolution of consciousness, because I've long awakened to the underlying nature of the unfolding of reality. In truth, there is no time, for time is but an attempt of measurement of something more profound and depth-full as the idea of time. I'm not leaning on the past when I speak of evolution, I'm leaning on its ever present and evident truth. What you have chosen to convey in the post above touches on a lot of matters. I am willing to discuss your points above, although that was not the intention of making this thread - I was merely offering caution about the traps I'm well too familiarised with in the path of spirituality. But I am willing to discuss.

Now you have to understand that realising nonduality and realising the process of creation, literally what you're doing now as every moment is a moment of creation, that these are two different things: Nonduality and Creation. And your question seems to be leaning more on the latter - the process of creation. In discussing creation, I'm not particularly fond of the “Life is a literal Dream” explanation, simply because it overlooks and negates a lot for the person who is interested in learning of the process of creation which deals essentially with meaning, as you have slightly come to notice in your ASC. Yes, existence is something like a dream in relation to nonduality but this is simply because it hardly matters what and how you think of it, for in nonduality all is literally One. However, with regards to the process of creation, the “life is a dream” paradigm won't get you anywhere. In fact, all this paradigm does is make you care less in realising creation, especially if it is introduced to you as ‘the answer’ rather than a question of exploration. To me, with regards to creation, this is not even an answer because it just raises more and more questions like.. why is God asleep in the first place.. and just leads to a lot of mental masturbation rather than actual progress. In the process of creation, there is something called the mind/body/spirit instrument that I'd like to introduce to you should your interest hold. This instrument is the literal tool of creation. The part that is responsible for the “coming up with visuals” is the mind-instrumental, the mind is form-maker. I'll only continue here if you want me to. This is another reason why I am not so resonant with the dream paradigm because it only leads to confusion and potentially distress. How will the dream paradigm account for your awareness and my - the person who is responding to your thread - awareness? It cannot, for it has already negated the possibility/actuality of the other-self. The reason, in terms of the process of creation, there exists a other-self is because the bubble of consciousness, as most will put it, the sphere of consciousness is capable of crystallization to the point where the POV no longer appears to be one life perspective but several. So, instead of a perfectly smooth bubble, you can imagine here a diamond like structure to consciousness and each of us is particularly focused on of the many sites/sides of this crystallised unity. But, these sites/sides of POVs are not limitations, as the dream paradigm has led you to believe, they have never been limitations for as the psychics of this world have, and will continue to, prove to you.. these POVs can be breached. Even the word “breach” is peculiarly misleading since there has never been any boundaries in the first place - only focuses/foci - the words “cross over” are more appropriate. Me.. you.. we are all One. If you realise or awaken to a truth, the whole bubble has awakened and realised that same truth. When I give you advice, I am essentially giving myself advice.. what looks like a conversation in this material level is essentially but a thought in the crystallised sphere of consciousness.

@SeekingFreedom It would be possible to get a glimpse or awaken but to stay awakened that person might need to drop alcohol. Or it just drops away effortlessly. Or alcohol will still be used. In short one could say that the outcome will vary from person to person. ?

The most awakened vid I’ve seen!

I anticipate that Leo will rather upgrade to a smartphone, and in 1-5 years he will be telling people that no one has awakened to his newest levels of consciousness which are deeper than the awakening we’ve heard about recently. Actually willing to make some friendly bets on this ?

During your life, have you ever had a direct experience of reality, an expansion of consciousness, or some other mystical experience, that was awakened by music? When I was a kid, in church, there was, what I now look back on as a direct experience of infinite love. It was during the worship service, I do not remember the music that was playing, but it was on the theme of the "Love of God" (The Christian God.) I was curled up in a fetal position with my chest over my knees and eyes closed, over and over I repeated "I love you, I Love you, I Love you." Over and over and over. I didn't know what or who I was saying it too, I was completely caught up in the moment. This went on for a few minutes, till suddenly, over the course of a minute or two, I started weeping as my consciousness expanded to fill the whole room. I was not "Conscious OF" the whole room "I" Was the entire bubble of awareness, I could "feel" or "see" movement of "Others" in the church, I could look back at my body still curled up, and was washed with waves of divine Love. it was so much, too much for my body to handle, it felt agonizingly beautiful, like laying under Niagara falls and letting the millions of tons of water pound over me. Another experience was later on, after I had graduated highschool, dabbled in psychedelics, and even had insights into life and reality. But this time I Was sober, in a dark spot, so alone, so confused, so lost. I didn't know what to do, I knew I needed to move to a different city, I was working two unfulfilling jobs to save the money. Later at night, I was sitting their in my suffering, listening to old worship music, not the kind that's preaching at you, but ones that are more abstract using words to point to something greater than words alone. (Specifically the song is "In over my head" by Jenn Johnson.) In my mind, I reached out, "God, I need help, I cant do this alone, I don't even know what I am doing or what to do, please..." I opened my heart and mind to whatever was about to happen. And soon after, slowly at first, then stronger and stronger, waves of energy started pulsating through me and the room. Love. Love in its full power, love that stripped my fears away, Love that dropped my jaw open because I was in such Awe. Love that didn't even make "sense." Love that I couldn't hold, or conceptualize. Love so big it hurt. And for five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes or so, I sat there, basking in these waves of Love, as tears dripped off my face. I knew that it was going to be okay. The difficulty wouldn't be able to stop me because I have Love. the pain, suffering, uncertainty, could never stop me fully, because I didn't just have love, I AM LOVE.

@ChrisZoZo I can barely put into words the insights I get. I can only see them. I try my best with my limited vocabulary. Thats why it may be easily misunderstood by others. I might have the right intention, but my words might not be the best. By negative elites I mean another God-me/you form playing as a royal with a "negative intention" unto himself. I wont get into such language as ppl do here. Keep it simple. Dont believe me. Just be open. Im just expressing. My intuition rarely fails. I didnt have my first awakening by looking for spirituality on youtube. I was so depressed, I claimed to the creator (meaning my ego recognized there had to be some form of higher power) to help me get out of ignorance in some way. I remember I had extreme level of greediness hidden in depression. I felt like I wanted it all. I even remember my ego moving inside of me trying to expand. I had no idea what I was doing, I simply followed my intuition and surrendered. Let me tell you something that might impress you. It impressed me aswell. Have you ever wondered why snoop dog is so chill and succesful? I mean, Yeah the guy smokes weed but he doesnt do much as a creator. He just pops out a few songs that are not meaningful and wa-la, rich and famous all these years. Well, snoop dogg is "fake-awakened". Meaning that he has not stopped smoking weed consistently everyday all these years from his youth. He is always high. And I literally mean every moment his high is going down, he smokes up again. He has seen alot and dispelled many illusions. Meaning he is always in "Higher Consciousness". So, he has some level of truth understanding aswell as the matrix. He knows so much (at least stuff not wanted out in public) , that secret agents from the matrix have him in comfort and luxury for him to stay quite. He is always displaying weed. Thats his public personality. Trying to give a message to others indirectly. He is never struggling, always playful. How do I know this? I randomly tapped into his frequency. He is one of the few that actually got to understand the weed high. Other rappers do not have his level of awareness/intuition development. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcVdfvVrIRh/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/CcktfP4uMWu/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

An awakened being right here

There is nothing disturbing in the video. You are disturbed because you are taking snippets out of context and misinterpreting what he means. You are getting triggered by certain words, in essence. What he is saying is what anyone who is enlightened knows. First there is a self, a center, then there is a localized expanded self (i.e. a bubble), then there's a fully expanded self infinitely radiating outward, then there is bliss or God consciousness...and the last step is the cessation of any strand of self. So think about the logic of the process of becoming awakened: gradual expansion of self until all sense of self is lost and merges into a field of awareness. At that point, you can perform a test: look at something, like your phone, e.g. and mentally ask "who is the subject and which is the object?" The feeling that returns is that there isn't a subject or object, there is only one field of awareness. So stop getting triggered by words people use. Words have different meanings in different contexts. Stop subjectively assigning the scariest possible meanings to them.

@CaptainBobbyOlsen The one that is the constant and persistent 'trap' if we are going to use this word to describe the phenomena of attachment which entraps within the experience of awakening is believing our perception is the 'truth'. As we are freed from the attachment of self perception so transcend to more unified perception of oneness quite often there is a revelatory experience of 'this is the true' reality. People will call it absolute truth, they will capitalize it as 'Truth' and they will dismiss everything else as false, an illusion and not real in favor of their mystical experience of awakening. They will shout from the metaphorical rooftops about how they have awakened to the universal truth that applies to everyone, not just their own experience, it's everyone;s truth... it is THE TRUTH! This is a 'trap' as you would call it. Every new and deeper awakening no matter who the awakener is seems to always be the most truest truth to ever be seen whether it's someone newly on the path or years into it like the venerable host of this forum believes they are seeing the absolute truth and their experience is pure in perception. It's DIRECT EXPERIENCE! How can it be wrong or an illusion? So be aware of this 'trap' if this is what we are to call it.

@Ulax I’m not so sure I’m that traumatized. For most of my adult life I’ve lived in almost complete solitude. It worked rather well, and my life was pretty good until one and a half years ago when I started studying. There I was surrounded by girls again for the first time since high school and my old strong desires were awakened to life. For other reasons I quit the studies and went back to solitude last year, but then I became very miserable. It wasn’t until summer, when I was on the verge of suicide, that I was finally able to bite the bullet and be proactive about this problem for the first time in my life. Until then I always hoped that I would find someone through work/studies or social circle. I really despised the idea of pickup and online dating. I do stage green activities too by the way.

A good spiritual/ non-duality teacher that comes to mind is Anna Brown: https://www.youtube.com/c/AnnaBrown I am fairly certain that there are more "awakened" or "enlightened" women in the world than men (because women tend to have a better connection to their emotions and inner life). But there are more well-known spiritual male teachers than females because to explain these complex experiences you have to spend a lot of time logically dissecting reality, or as Leo likes to call it, "deconstruct reality". This is a very tedious, purely logical pursuit that many "enlightened" women probably won't even bother with (because you cannot communicate the deepest awakenings anyway). This is also true to Anna Brown's teaching: She isn't trying to explain Enlightenment to your ego, she is trying to tickle your consciousness directly.

Hello amazing person, I am Kory , and here is my Day 1 of an official journey I mean to commit to. Welp, after a long time of messing around, here I am in a Salvation Army homeless shelter and now the quote that captures how I feel... "The Sleeping Giant has Awakened" I landed here last night. I have been living in my van for 8 months. I am 32, and my own self-sufficiency has been lacking. I've stayed back and forth with people and on my own, always moving between jobs, places, and people. I've always wanted to be a high level life-coach, but as I went down the rabbit hole to unreel the nature of life, I disassociated with most everything but my own addictions to gaming and staying high. I've definitely been stuck for many years more-or-less doing the same shit not going anywhere. But I have kinda riddled out the missing ingredients to the recipe for my own success, and it is certainly very exciting to be in a homeless shelter and letting go of the things holding me back... I was living in my van near relatives and just staying within a comfort-zone that was actually screwing me over. The week before, it was still entertaining suicide to some degree, but I just came to accept that I needed help and my identity was gonna have to be scrapped... So I deleted all my games , like "I have no idea how I am gonna spend my day if im not binging out, but we will see!" Well I had an incident that pissed me off enough and I had just enough resources to go, so I just said "Thats what I gotta do, go get a fresh start on my own, and cut all the things not getting me results, and it will just have to work out somehow" So I got a call back from the shelter the following morning after I relocated to a nearby metro, and met a cool person that I've been vibing with as I feel myself coming online more and more... Its like recalling the better versions of myself like its just who I am now. Its pretty cool at the shelter, (i mean there are "bad" people to be around more-often-than-not, but helpful good people as well) I am getting 2 free meals/day, shower, laundry, place to get mail, state health insurance , getting a waiting list for a house in 1-2 months , got a bed , and daily life-skills training (reminding me of like military bootcamp but the homeless lite-bootcamp version) , and signed up for mental health stuff... Definitely something I didn't expect, everybody makes homeless shelters sound horrible but Salvation Army is pretty legit and I got taken care of within an hour of getting here. Well... I just wanted to work on writing/journaling and this felt like Day 1 to my journey... Really been a quick turnaround with going from depression/anxiety/existential crisis/etc to feeling like I am picking up with my better-self like riding a bicycle again. I have not had anybody to talk to for a long time, so I cut my time-wasting addictions out and I'm formulating a strategy for my own success... Like asking questions: "What are daily habits I should work on"" What content do I want to study" "Which communities should I get involved in?" "What are the most important+urgent steps to be taking?" I know people mention Leo's Start Guide here, I am also downloading Optimize app by Brian Johnson, enrolled in free online philosophy courses , have some old personal development masterclasses to go back through, looking at some free self-development training workshops from these online ads, reading some books, going through more good youtube self-actualization (Joseph Rodriquez is a recent favorite discussing like Napolean Hill like subconscious inner-talk stuff, and Tom Bilyeu rocks too) I dont really know what my goal is , but I know my passion is teaching in the 'transcendence' category , and I want to get online making money... I've just always avoided trying to start my own Youtube / TikTok channel, but I am gaining confidence from being in this shelter and meeting this guy who has been showing me around giving me the newb-tour , and its just wild that I assume I would be incredible, but I'm also my own biggest critic , and I am beginning to see the more I push myself to express what I am about, the more positive feedback I get and more pace I pick up with it... So this day feels differerent, it seems the spiral has begun its upward climb, and I've been waiting for the day I would see myself getting momentum again, because I knew I would have nothing to look back to again... And now it begins... "Fly, Phoenix, Fly" Question : When a Phoenix rebirths, is it Day 1 for that Phoenix? Is that an accurate metaphor??? Lmao idk, what do you think? Glad to read any comments you wonderful people wanna respond with. Much love -Kory Added a couple snapshots of this Salvation Army place... i just want to provide information that this place is pretty chill, not as bad as I had thought! Legit got my bed right across from buddy I had met, and there is a pile of tobacco behind my shoulder like community sharing lol.

Sounds like apathy. When negative emotions get triggered, that intensity that gets awakened in the body often wakes us up temporary until the triggers goes away. Then our nervous system calms back down to it's original emotional state, and if that is apathy, you slip right into that previous unmotivated state. In apathy, it is difficult to feel motivated because you are disconnected from your body. You need to become conscious how you can put yourself in a certain direction where you will be forced to awaken the feelings in your body, which initially, will be negative, so you can move past apathy and as a result, you start to become curious again. And that will require you becoming your own container and not relying on feelings to take the necessary steps. Initially, you have to take action from your head if you are not motivated. Identify exactly what it is you want to feel, in what contexts, and gradually take the right steps through small consistent action on a daily basis. Eventually, you will get triggered when you confront the feelings underneath apathy, maybe feel more negative emotions which you can use as extra fuel added to your commitment. If you are taking the right steps you will eventually transmute apathy into inspiration and let go of those negative motivations. Just become really clear what it is you want to create and feel and then use commitment to take action without needing to be motivated emotionally. You have free will. Anyone can do that, even if they have apathy. You can just start to imagine things in your mind and play with your feeling in relationship to what you are imagining. Intuitively feel what your mind is imagining when you let loose, and just strive to create that environment and feeling experience in your own physical reality. A lack of motivation is never hindering you, nor is a negative emotional state. A negative motivation is super powerful. That exact problem is helping you ask this question and thus helping you create the reality you want. It is just your lack of clarity and commitment to the desires you have. Apathy goes away naturally as you put your body in tension. Tension is good for you. Step into tension that causes disappointment, anger, sadness, and now proactively create from it, instead of being reactive. There is nothing wrong with negative emotions as fuel because action always is caused by desire and this is essentially already a higher emotion. It then just depends on what you are channeling the desire into, meaning the strategy, actions, principles, practical processes and habits you are doing on a daily basis. They can either help you create more depth of feeling, more inspiration, or they keep you stuck.

Yup… hence why if everyone was awakened strict monogamy as the only valid thing there is doesn’t make as much sense, but collectively we are still too in the ego to see this. But even if mass awakening doesn’t happen anytime soon we can move towards more tolerance for alternative ways of being. Gay rights didn’t just happen because everyone was awakened. An orientation towards individuality already can move a lot towards tolerance.
