How Was Your Final\Latest Awakening?

@Shanmugamspill the beans

Very funny

[Ether]

@Nahm go ahead

@Ether That was an answer. It was very funny. Laughed for weeks. Inappropriately in many settings. Interrupted my ‘life’. Took a while to assimilate and acclimate capacity.

I still feel like leo is me making videos for myself in some corner of youtube

I still feel like I am my mother telling myself to do stuff around the house 

This all goes away when I sit down for my daily sits but whenever im comfortable I can still myself and laugh with existential joy on how this is inevitable and infinite

Letting go fully.  That's it.  Just resting as Awareness.  Not as attached to the fluxing Dream.  It's like I'm always meditating or something.  Just peace and stillness and mild bliss.  I don't have any more illusions of control within the dream anymore.  So, it's just a surrender to reality.  There never was a me doing anything in the first place.  But what is missing is the illusion of Ego -- the illusion of control, doing, and conceptual-knowing.  The illusion of being an actor in the dream who is trying to understand the dream.  No.  I am simply Atman, or unchanging Awareness.

If there is actual freedom/liberation the first is the last. 

[Ether]

@Faceless ?

[Faceless]

Actual freedom is permanent?

 

If one goes back to sleep this implies they never woke up in the first place.

Like one of those dreams where you wake up again and again and again. A prepetual dream of waking up until you actually do awake.

U know those dreams right???‍♂️

[Ether]

@Faceless nope.

 

my mentor said he attained awakening but for some unknown reason he went back to sleep

Perhaps thought induced ‘temporary’ partial freedom. 

 

That thought man, it’ll get y??‍♂️

 Wouldn’t say he was free from thought. That happens when people are not aware of the movement of thought. 

Some go years like that. Decades even.

You ever learned about yourself without a mentor?

No I mean learned about yourself. See how you work psychologically. Your motives and so on. 

No opionions, or information from others. No forum, no internet and so on? 

Learn about thought?
