Does awakening carry an obligation?

[Tyler Durden]

Is it ok to keep on living a regular human life after awakening? Do I have an obligation to spread the Truth? I know that everyone is actually me but sometimes I feel bad seeing them being asleep. Should I just pretend that everything is as it is or do something about that?

[gettoefl]

a wise man said, fix you first then love me

so yes is the answer to your question

you cannot love until you awaken

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG I have no intention in genocide just raising the public awareness ?

@gettoefl Yes, that definitely sounds right, awakening helps in that way.

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG I don't know if it makes sense. Lets say I become lucid inside a dream, would telling other dream characters that it's all a dream make any difference? I have similar doubts about this waking life.

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG It would be a boring life without talking with dream characters. I don't feel alone in that case.

Does becoming a parent change a person?  If so, how, in what specific ways?

[Tyler Durden]

@Nahm Yes, it does but not like awakening which completely changes your view of reality.

Would you be willing to share how becoming a parent has changed you (so to speak of course)? Maybe five specific ways? Simple stuff like ‘well I used to do this, and now I do this… I used to think this way and now I see it like this’.

Obligation is a duality

[Inliytened1]

After you awaken the first thing you wanna do is share this with others because it is such a miracle.

But in its Infinite Wisdom, what God did with you was gently provide you with hints and clues along the way to help you wake up.

God did not force awakening on you, because that would not be Love, it would be out of selfishness.

God rather gently gave you a little implicit guidance and the rest was you.

This is the most selfless way, and the most aligned with your higher self - because people are going to wake up when they are ready to.

@BenG I would describe it as becoming aware that everything is a God's dream and you're its avatar.

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG Before that I presumed that the universe was created by The Big Bang, everything was made of atoms and humans evolved from other creatures, becoming conscious in the process. I didn't leave much space for God's existence so this realisation completely changed my worldview.

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG It was a gradual process. Firstly I felt God inside me, then in other people and finally in everything. So, in the end I discovered that pantheism is closest to the Truth.

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG It happened during manic episodes. People usually get that with psychedelics or meditation but I guess God wanted something different in my case. ?

Yes, it was a big emotional turmoil because I was raised in religious family but always prefered science for the explanation of everything. So I made a full circle but I didn't expect that God would be me. ?

I will still need one more episode to directly realise nothingness, for now I only understand it conceptualy. ?

[Twenty]

Not an obligation but a responsbility. For something previously unknown to you. 

 

[Tyler Durden]

@BenG Thank you for your kind words. I was previously struggling with depression and felt that there wasn't any meaning in life. After that, those manic episodes happened and nothing was the same afterwards. I had trouble to completely understand what I've experienced and people around me thought I was going crazy. Luckily, I discovered Leo and this forum which helped me a lot to ground myself and explain what I was going through. Your suggestion of becoming awakening therapist sounds interesting. I would really like to help other people realise what God truly is but I don't want to be labeled as some lunatic.

Nope, if anything you should realize that the Truth only needs to be known by you .

[Nahm]

@Tyler Durden

But you will be. 

[Tyler Durden]

@Terell Kirby So you think it's futile just like talking to dream characters after you become lucid?

@Nahm Yeah, I understand that's the risk so I prefer not to talk too much about that in public.

The idea of obligations to others is the mental games you play, that fits in with the social matrix.

By all means, you are more than welcome to have obligations and commitments. They are often require for survival.
