How intensely are you conected to LIFE?

[Javfly33]

Heres my definition of Spiritual success:

Having such a direct connection and refined perception with reality that a mere 20min walk around your neighbourhood, becomes an intense experience. You dont have a single moment of boringness because everything IS so active, alive, sacred, every being IS playing the game. The stakes are high. And you flow and open your eyes wide. You couldnt kill a fly in this state. Because It all IS mystical. Sacred. Intense. Is all fireworks.

It might seem boring, people walking. Talking. Cars moving. But is all quite an incredible experience. Only if you are fully connected with It.

Why people get addicted to drugs? (Not including psychedelics here)

In part from running away suffering, that one reason, but other is to make the mere common experience of Life more profund, intense, exhuberant.

But drugs usually do this in a very paleolithic way. Very simplistic. 

Yeah, they might activate some chemical receptors in the brain, so your perception is increased. But at the cost of some other things. Is not TRUE connection, is not really INTENSE Alive perception.

The human system is capable of amazing things.

I'm a little dissociated.

Yes, reality is alive, this moment lives, it is deep and wonderful. It always is, regardless of the content. that is being awake, being open to what reality is, seeing it, being it

If you look closely at death and impermanence it will make you feel very alive. Much more alive than shying away from it.

I recently approached a woman at a party who was looking real sad. I later on found out that her boyfriend had passed away just a year ago. I’m glad that I didn’t shy away from approaching her during her time of need.
