@Joshe Thank you so much! Free movies aren't always easy to come by.

Goddamnit! It's not available in the UK. Guess I'll take that as a sign from God ^_^ 

I have bought the book on Kindle however, but I immediately didn't like the writing style...

Has anyone here ever seen Waking Life? If not, I highly recommend it to any person who is interested in metaphysics and consciousness!

Great film. I'll watch that again instead. :)

@Joshe yo, make sure and read my reply here (I think your more on the ball than you realise)...

 

What's up mate. So yeah, I was raised Christian and (because I tend to always question everything) I obviously questioned Christianity and everything with it, quite a lot. I mean, if these Christians are right...and there is a thing called "god", and if he is as big as they say he is...then I should definitely start studying this "god". And so I did. But the way I think about things, I have a tendancy to get to the bottom of them quickly, but god was different. It felt different every time. 

I was struggling to make progress, and I started to "let god lead me." The nondual understanding of "God" is that he is just everything (you'll need to find that yourself though, through meditation.)

But I actually found a way in which me and "god" could communicate. It felt really fuzzy at the start...unsure, like trying to send codes to eachother, hidden in larger messages.

I got better and better at recognising when I was getting a hidden message from "him" (I don't actually know what god really is yet either btw). You can actually summon these messages when you get good at it. Actually the only reason I'm here right now is because of one of these hidden messages. I was watching this bald guy on utube one time, talking about some deep shit (which I always love), and boom...got a little note in through my subconscious right then. When I feel the nudge I have to let it manifest into words so I can understand it. The message behind it was "dig here" as if it was telling me where there was treasure buried under the ground. The bald guy on utube was leo. 

So I had learned to always obey God in church, so I did. Then BOOM. I'm on my way to oneness with god. 

One important point to make is that god is not what you think he is...because what you think he is, is a thought...god is not a thought. So feel free to let go of everything you know about God and just operate at the bare minimum knowledge you can work with...and listen for his messages lol. :)

But yeah, I shit you not...whether it was my subconscious, or I don't know what the fuck it was...I got a clear little small message telling me to stick with leo. I kind of thought, "how the fuck does this guy have deeper spiritual insights than my Christian teachers."

But yo ****check this out, you are in what I call the "sweet spot." This is important.

It's hard for me to explain, but this is like...a superpower for spiritual work. People usually have to get into lucid dreaming, psychoanalysis, and deep meditative states to hear god like this. 

But see if you apply these messages to meditation. It's like, you skip over so many of the common problems in meditation. I've heard about people getting stuck on ONE PROBLEM for 10 YEARS. And I'm over here skipping over 5 problems a week. When I say "problem" I'm talking about the little traps your mind creates. False truths and dead end avenues. Get good at deciphering the codes, and recognising when there is one of these hidden codes laced in your conscience thoughts (and dreams). 

Something that might encourage you, is something that encouraged me...this god has shown me the profundity that awaits those who continue and become enlightened. I can't even begin to describe how worth it, it is. God wants to help you...let him

Oh and see if you do breath meditation and just sort of..."let go" of trying to hear the messages from god...they all of a sudden rise up and you'll have them again. Bringing yourself to complete and utter physical and *mental* stillness/absence...removes the requirement for the messages to be hidden. But don't grab onto them. Only watch them, (I take small mental notes when I see them...small enough that they don't interrupt the message itself.) Then when I come out of meditation I know what I'm doing wrong. 

Check it out:

1 John 2:20 "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things."

 - you have an 'unction' from the Holy One (God).

- you know all things.

 

1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? *But we have the mind of Christ*."

You have Jesus' mind. 

 

 

Side note:

(1 Corinthians 12:27 says "Now you are the body of Jesus Christ." So your mind is Jesus and your body is Jesus...1 john 4:17 says "In this world we are as Jesus." Ask yourself, with these verses in mind, "what part of me *isint* Jesus?"

*Hint* hint* hint *hint* hint*...)

@Nahm - Do you have experience with things like this? Do you think these things are all hogwash, pure coincidence,  or fictions created by the mind?

I definitely see religious/spiritual seekers creating fictions which they want to be signs, but I'm not a seeker and I'm very skeptical and aware of self-deception. I question pretty much everything and am willing to let anything that's not truth go.

So, I just wanted to say that I have no hope for these things to be "signs", but knowing that God is intelligent and that these coincidences are so fuckin crazy, it seems possible. To me, these insane coincidences almost feel like a nudge to get to work on spirituality.

Great question! Yes and no. It’s a question of depth of knowing Self. What is not fiction created by mind given there’s no mind?  Enjoy the puzzle pieces though! 

I definitely see religious/spiritual seekers creating fictions which they want to be signs, but I'm not a seeker and I'm very skeptical and aware of self-deception. I question pretty much everything and am willing to let anything that's not truth go.

You’re a seeker, who ya kiddin here? “Skeptical & aware of self deception” is seeking. “Seeker” is a wise thing to be imo. We’re all seekers, even those of us who aren’t.  The thing is, there’s no objective reality in that sense, everyone is literally The One. There’s no “stuff” “inbetween”, and there’s no bottom or end to infinite. Yup. ?

So, I just wanted to say that I have no hope for these things to be "signs", but knowing that God is intelligent and that these coincidences are so fuckin crazy, it seems possible. To me, these insane coincidences almost feel like a nudge to get to work on spirituality. 

It doesn’t even make sense to try to communicate what is beyond synchronicity, coincidences. You’ll see. I feel that.          YES YES YES get to work on spirituality!!! Listen to Leo, ‘I’ can say that unflinchingly. He’s a tour guide for God.  Maybe that’s just me though. 

 Recently during another Reiki attunement, I had a (not sure what to call it) inner-mind-yet-real-psychedelic-though-I-wasn’t-tripping-vision of multicolor lotus flowers blooming from the center of my body out through it and then going outward infinitely. Nothing is known anymore, but, Yes, Yes, Yes - get to work on spirituality!     (Is that even sensible / believable? That Reiki attunements are an actual thing? Lol! Ya know?!)

It’s puzzle pieces for a while, until you see the whole puzzle. But at that point there’s no seeing. God isn’t intelligent, God is intelligence. It’s your toaster. Your pinky toe! Your hand! Lol. Reality sure does seem consistent / objective. Perfect in it’s apparent imperfection. Unreal man.

@Nahm Awesome answers. I especially like "God isn't intelligent but God is intelligence." Although I know there's no big man in the sky, the way I was framing it seemed as if a being possessed intelligence and if that was the case me and the being are two separate things, which is a duality, so that perspective would have to be undone to realize non-duality. 

Ok, Ok, yes, I'm a seeker. lol. I should have said I'm not a hardcore seeker. But maybe that's a lie too.  :) 

Thank you very much!

Does anyone ever feel they get signs from God?

I was once tripping on AL-LAD and experienced that everything that's ever happened has happened perfectly, just as it had been planned out. I saw that everything that has happened had led me to that exact moment of me realizing God, like it was a gift I was being given. I was supposed to see it. The only thing I could think was " WHY? Why would you do all this for me?" and I connected with some really strong love and just started crying my eyes out. lol. It was beautiful. But anyway...

A week or so later I was working with some background music on and I became conscious of some problems I was struggling with. I stopped working and said out loud "Why? Why would you do this? What's the point of these problems?" As soon as I finish that statement, the song that was playing said "This is how I show my love" in the song Sail, by OwlNation. Pretty fuckin freaky, But a great answer. lol

I was reading a book a few months back and a family member was watching TV. As soon as I came across the word "coincidence", it was spoken on the TV. This has happened to me about 4 or 5 times in my life.

Was reading a book last night and my thoughts drifted to how I should have told my sister I liked her painting she just did but I kind of acted like it was cool but I wasn't impressed. I turned the page right after that thought and the second word on the page was "paint". This grabbed my attention. 

That very night, I was babysitting my nephews. One had fallen off the top bunk of the bed and got hurt and started to cry but stopped his noise so I couldn't hear him crying, I think because his mom punishes them for jumping off the top bunk.

Back to the book I was reading. Two pages later, starting a new chapter, the first story was about how the author and his sister were playing on the bunk bed and the sister fell off and he was afraid her crying would wake his parents so he thought of something clever to take her mind off the pain. So the kid fell off the bunk, experienced pain, and tried to not make crying noise. The same exact thing just happened with my nephews a few hours earlier.

I'm curious about other stories like these or any insights you guys might have on this subject. 

I'm not the type to want or look for signs but I can't deny there's something going on either.

Thanks!

 

   What a freaking HYPOCRITE! You talk about these 'signs of god' that you're having, but baited me and get me freaking banned from a sub forum because you made it look like I'm some freaking Christian nationalist pointing out how that event and the luck was on a miraculous level? Screw you're fake AF sounding spirituality BEACH! I swear to GOD I will get divine retribution onto you and those that supported you in this LIE against ME!

@Danioover9000 hi, you were banned from political forum? Why because you used the word God or for something else? I saw your post that you said Trump was saved by God, were you banned because of that? I mean if that’s the case it’s problem, it’s also an opinion as well and to brush it off is wrong.

@Danioover9000 stop harassing me and commenting on every one of my posts from years ago. I didn’t reveal your foolishness and I didn’t get you banned. You revealed your foolishness, I pointed to it, many saw it, including Leo. Maybe use this experience to reflect. Whatever you do, I want nothing to do with it, or you. To be frank, if you say Andrew Wilson on YouTube is one of your most respected thought leaders, this probably isn’t the forum for you. Birds of a feather. You are toxic and that was obvious since our first exchange. Idk what you’re even doing here. Maybe you’re lonely or something, and if so, I’m sorry, but you need to learn respect.
