I can't make it happen, awakening happens on its own

[phoenix666]

wow, I got this glimpse today during meditation, it felt like a huge relief;

whatever I do, is perfectly fine and I can love myself regardless

there is nothing I can do to make awakening happen... because the universe - god - the absolute is taking care of it

awakening is happening every single moment, everything is infinitely expanding

I felt every cell in my body unfolding, all beautifully orchestrated by something that must be universal intelligence - and I couldn't do anything but observe in awe <3

@phoenix666 wow. what did you have?

 

your first glimpse of the TRUTH / NON-DUALITY?

or just a very deep insight?

no, I've had quite some glimpses, I'd even say awakening experiences on psychedelics. I'm trying to integrate those now. but I've never really had a non dual / mystical experience sober. 

deep insights during meditation and even daily life seem to get more frequent lately though 

[SoonHei]

wow

that's amazing <3 keep it going

So cool!    Is it safe to say that you're experiencing a pivotal year in your life?

@phoenix666 It's just like in the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy had to look elsewhere to finally realize "There's no place Like Home".  This is it! Right now, right here. Here you are.  Nothing is spread out over time from past to future as it appears to be. Not at all. You are a singularity and totally complete now.

@cetus56 Oooo, that was GOOD!!  ?

Still 4 months left of 2018. Think of the possibilities!  ?   I'm right there with ya in this awesome progression of life.

It recalls me a story about Buddha (I'm not buddhist). It's said he became enlightened after falling asleep. Before falling asleep, he was meditating for a long period of time, getting even skinner.

Maybe meditation won't make you enlightened.

from all the mystic traditions I've encountered so far, the Buddha's teachings are those which resonate the most with me. maybe that's no coincidence ;-)

I really don't know, I just know that meditation has enriched my life so much. it's effects are starting to snowball and I love it <3
