How many of us are awake?

Notice that you are resisting. Which you have a right to do, it’s a natural occurrence in this process.

Ask yourself “if you were totally wrong about a thing, would you still love yourself?”

If you can’t do this your mind will project for the sake of protecting your ego. The goal is to love ourselves more and more so that we become ripe and ready to receive Truth at its highest form.

I’m afraid you’re just not hearing me. If you being god is what’s appearing to happen there, then you being god is what’s appearing to happen there.

You yourself claim you are not enlightened, so how could you judge others for their enlightenment or lack thereof? 

Where did I judge the enlightenment of others? Enlightenment is not only the realization, but the actualization that there are no others. When the boundaries dissolve, you are no longer you.

It's easy to conceptualize being God, flattering even, but ego death is far more difficult and rare.

This shows that you are under an illusion of duality. God is not a concept.

God realization encompasses ego death, no need to separate the two. All I am getting from this comment is a denial of your true nature as God. You can run from this Truth all you want, you will still continue being God, despite the lies of your ego.

The spiritual ego you have developed is tricking you to think that it’s dead as a mechanism to prevent you from realizing what you actually are.

Everybody is a god. Stop making such a fuss about it. The important thing is not to realize that, but to embody that. How many people here have embodies god consciouness into their daily lives? Zero. Might as well keep quiet and go work on rising your consciouness.

Yes, god alone exists. But not every form embodies god to the same degree. Everyone here on this forum is a retard myself included when it comes to embodiment. Only one who embodies god fully can be called a liberated being and awake. Having temporary peak experiences get you nowhere unless they are embodied.

There's a point I'm trying to make here that you need to continue working on yourself further to embody higher levels of consciouness. Only then will somebody will recognize you as awake. Otherwise you say you're god but all I see is a retard, so what's the point of such a achievement? Understanding you're god means nothing existencially. It's just in your head.

Awake? Maybe. Persistent non-symbolic awareness? Nah. That stuff is mindblowing.

[VeganAwake]

Nobody wakes up and that's the thing that's impossible for the ME to grasp.... it simply can't fathom its own unreality.

It's the Revelation that the very individual attempting to wake up or realize it's God or whatever, was never real in the first place.

It's never what the individual expects it to be...BTW

And it's not just some concept about what no separation would seem like and trying to "live from that state of mind"

It's clearly seeing that there just never was a separate individual in the body in the first place. 

And when it's clearly recognized the energy used to uphold this unreal self construct begins to dissipate or collapse.

This can happen rather quickly in some cases or seem to slowly unfold.

Infinite Love is as real as it gets. You are equating real with form.

Material form is unreal, what’s real is the formless God-head…and you are it ❤️

Do awake people spend their time being arbiters of who is awake by making assumptions of someone else’s whole life based on a single sentence? ?

Oh there are definitely degrees. I agree with you. And there are plenty of things which are mind blowing possibilities to have locked in, but he wasn’t specific about that.

If this hasn't popped up in your visual field, you you aren't truly awakened yet

I didn't say God is a concept (the word is, but not the ultimate reality it represents). I said it's easy to conceptualize being God. People that have not directly realized their true nature as God often claim that they are God, but it is only a conceptual identity for them. You can't understand the taste of water until you actually drink it.

Awakening rarely results in immediate ego death. You realize your nature as God, but this realization doesn't instantly dissolve your attachments and desires. It is only the first step toward equanimity.

I have directly realized my nature as God, but I am still far from enlightenment, which is the permanent end of suffering. As the Buddha put it:

Few are those who reach the other shore; most people keep running up and down this shore. But those who follow the dharma, when it has been well taught, will reach the other shore, hard to reach, beyond the power of death.

They leave darkness behind and follow the light. They give up home and leave pleasure behind. Calling nothing their own, they purify their hearts and rejoice. Well trained in the seven fields of enlightenment, their senses disciplined and free from attachments, they live in freedom, full of light.

@BenG these are great questions , happy to help through sharing my subjective experience (p.s. I don’t claim to be a guru nor do I want to be)

20 minutes ago, BenG said:

1)     When you first discovered God or when you first awoke, how did you KNOW you really awoke? Was there any doubt? If so, how did you get past this doubt? Were you initially skeptical of your awakening?

There was certainly doubt at the beginning.  But the key is not halting your inquiry after your mind comes up with doubts for the sake of protecting your worldview. A key here is being skeptical of your skepticism.

20 minutes ago, BenG said:

2)     When you first had the awakening, what did you feel? (during the awakening I mean) What emotions were you having? Were you surprised or shocked in any way?

Ask yourself this question: “If me (and by me, I mean your human name, body and history) never existed, how many problems would I have in life?” What you’ll realize is that most, if not all, of your suffering comes from your identification as the human you think you are. Ridding of this suffering, which created by your Mind, happens when you are able to let go of your human construction. What is left is what I would call bliss…you don’t take life personally, which means you get to play. God realization is the key to getting to this mind-space

20 minutes ago, BenG said:

3)     What was the most shocking/surprising part about it?

The sheer fact that no one in society, including people and institutions, is spreading this to the masses. The realization itself would fix 99.999% of the issues we see in the world today.

Even further, it is surprising when one expressing Truth, how they are aggressively demonized…as you can see throughout this thread. Something so beautiful to God is very threatening to human Egos. This is the great challenge that all sages and mystics have faced throughout time. We should be very thankful to Leo and Actualized.org for literally putting their life and reputation on the line for teaching these things.

Hope that helps.
