Holy shit enlightenment and Heaven vs EGO. Post satori practice tips?

8 posts in this topic

Yesterday I had a Heaven awakening for a few hours, everything was perfect, a love and peace I couldn't escape from. This isnt my first awakening, but definately the best so far.
I didn't even meditate but I know it is a result from the neti neti practice from a book where I had a no self experience.

I cannot even put into words how the experience was, while driving 2 hours I had multiple ego deaths merging with objects etc.

It was so full of love that my ego couldn't even make me feel bad.


Now I realised that "my reality" can have 2 perspectives. The depressed nihilistic perspective to avoid suffering and surviving or realising I'm in heaven. Now this is a 180 degree change in perspective of the world, so I have to adjust to it.

Guess what my ego is telling me. "No this is dangerous, you can get trapped into heaven, what if it changes, this is too good you need to ground yourself the world is full of dangers, are you sure this isn't a mental health issue, what if you are bipolar and today is heaven - tomorrow is hell?
What about your family? Are you okay with you feeling like you're in heaven while your parents suffer, is this fair? Don't forget that this isn't permanent.

Oh no this isn't permanent, now make sure this doesn't go away, okay just check to see if you are still able to tap into ego death... Okay it works... But dont do this too much, who knows maybe you'll fall so deep into it that suddenly you have a panic attack and end up in the dark night.
Why are you smoking so much nicotine today, are you sure you weren't drugged? What if this is something neurological and you are about to have a seizure? WHILE DRIVING!!!!


Yesterday I realised there was nothing the ego could do, but it simultaneously wants to keep that state of being and wants to control. Now I strongly believe I have to shower the ego with love until it understands without it having to fight with itself. I just use equanimity practice and adyashantis true meditation methods.


Do you guys have any post satori practice I can do to "keep the balance" or any advice?
Buddhism says that the next step is to keep the state of no self 24/7, but I don't know if I am comfortable with doing this...

Welcome home. Just pay attention to the feelings, let go if it doesn't resonate with your new understanding. 

ego is an illusion, just a belief in separate self.

Indeed, it's all perfect ?


What a dream, what a joke, love it   :x

@allislove  I -in my wildest dreams- didn't even wish or possibly could imagine it to be THAT fucking heavenly heaven. I thought that physical pain could just be transcended by full time monks to a small degree, but shit even pain is an incredibly petty thing to be afraid of.

I would have never considered myself enlightened before, but this is the beginning (first stage) of enlightenment, I can feel it. I don't even desire to be in that state, and there is no earthly state that is comparable to that. I need to digest what I went through.

Thank you!

Indeed, too good to be true ?

Do you have a dream board? Feels like a perfect timing for that ?

@allislove  I had some insight in what I want to do, I am studying psychology right now and have an ecommerce business, I am going to make an app/website/service that helps people to develop their empathy and love. I would "love" to bring people to realise heaven on earth.
I also had a realisation a few days ago, that the most important thing someone who is deeply non-dual needs to be ethically correct is Empathy in order to not become a Zen devil. But also without spirituality there is a need for empathy.

Probably going to do that, I already have a few ideas to implement on that project and I have enough money (to start) and I have enough time and I have enough knowledge. I just need to sit down and do it. Thank God my life is so comfortable.

I get it now, my Ego wants to avoid later suffering and wants to avoid losing control so everything can survive. Now I need to contemplate how I can make sure the ego can survive while being in heaven, not causing harm to me or everything my soul holds precious.
