    You don't have a vibration. I've noticed that the notion of an energetical or vibrational bubble that is mine has become a mainstream belief in society, especially among the youth. This claim has no reality, it is a part of the dream of being a seperate me. When you watch a horror movie there might be the vibration of fear and if there is, the directors did something right. The point of a scary movie is to scare you, the point of a comedy is to make you laugh, none of the above has more value than the other. The value is put upon it by the seperate me that takes responsibility and ownership of everything that is happening, micromanaging every single thought and emotion, making sure it fits the ideas it has of what will get it to that sweet spot called fulfillment, which is always in the future. It has to know if a scary movie will hinder or help it on it's endless journey to be good enough, it will do neither. It will be just what it is and it so perfectly is.

    @traveler , so if I want to surrender to such an experience (which I am sure to encounter again) what would you suggest? For me to accept the void is challenging in many ways. First, I need to acknowledge that I am of no value (at least the value I had placed on myself) that there is no one watching over me or cares where I drift, i.e., there is no great loving presence or intelligence. That in itself defeats the purpose of acceptance. If there is no better way, why the need to surrender to anything?

    All I can say is - Holy shit! Is this it? How horrible!

    I can not suggest anything, but notice that it doesn't actually exist, only as a memory. If I where to give you advice I'd have to try to remember what that experience was like, If I don't try to remember it, it doesn't exist. This is that void that you remember, but it is not an idea. The "void" is not somewhere else, it doesn't have a particular feeling or attribute, it isn't a "thing," it is simply whatever is arising and it has no need for acceptance. It can look ordinary like drinking a cup of coffee or it can look like whatever a mystical experience looks like, one is not more "the void" than the other. 

    What is often shown in such an experience is that nothing can be held onto, so learn from that and let it go.

    Is it possible that the idea of eternal being is just a projection of the illusory "I" or conditioned mind?

    Could that be a possibility?

    ❤

     

    Yes, but it is also quite possible that it points to something beyond the illusory "I." Nothing can really be said about non-duality, so on forums like this ideas like these are what keeps us hanging around. Just like your posts, my posts, and everyone else's posts nothing of it actually matters, we are already steeped in what we try to express.

    Seeking is what is longed for appearing as seeking, so seeking to get rid of seeking is what keeps the wheel of seeking turning. It is a loop of seeking. The seeking energy has this intrinsic feeling that something is missing, so it seeks for something to make that feeling go away, unaware that the seeking itself is the cause of this discontent.

    This is perfectly what is longed for when there is no one left to say that it isn't.

    They don't mean to trivialize life. It's hilarious to realize that we have such strong connotations for the word meaningless, when it just "means"...  no meaning. So we put this sad, nihilistic sort of meaning over "meaningless" and in doing so give meaning to the word meaningless! xD

    Interesting observation!

    Non-words such as helpless, pointless, meaningless etc. are paradoxical/ungettable in nature, like "non-duality" these non-words point to the lack of something. The individual in it's dream of opposites puts meaning onto everything, including "meaningless." Because meaning points to something it is categorised as positive, and because meaningless points to nothing it is categorised as negative.

    "Negative" is also a "non word" as it points to the absence of something. Another definition of "negative" is: something not desirable or optimistic. It is interesting how in the dream of the individual words that don't point to something but rather to nothing have bad connotations. This in the end comes down to the fear of death/unknowing I guess.

    Jims message (which doesn't belong to Jim) is beyond God. God doesn't even know what it is.

    Liberation is the end of God's search for itself, it is the death of God, AKA "me" "you" "we" "us" etc. What is left is what is, just without the looking/separation.

    In other words, God doesn't need to realize itself, it can't, that is it's dream. It is perfectly whole not realizing itself, the suffering comes from the separation that is created when there is a need to.

    @WelcometoReality , yes. Only I existed. Which was scary to say the least. Imagine the immense loneliness.

     

    Immense loneliness is an experience/feeling, it comes and goes. Therefore, it isn't absolute.

    I have experienced infinite loneliness a few times, it is terrifying, but it’s not real/fixed. It is a reaction. Grasping for something in nothing creates an experience of fullness, but without the freedom/lightness of emptiness.

    Advaita means nonduality. As a teaching it points to the original teachers and resources (ramana maharshi.. Rama Krishna.. The vedas etc) all the teachers you mentioned above are neo advaita. 

    Maybe, but there is a fundamental difference between the group of people that I mentioned. Tony Parsons and people alike are often referred to as Neo Advaita by the aforementioned teachers. The label means little, the difference is most important.

    There is no right or wrong with this, take a look into both and see what you resonate with. Advaita is a teaching of becoming, Neo Advaita points out that there is no one to become. If you are here to better yourself then Advaita, If you are here for Advaita then Neo Advaita. 

    I had to edit my post and point out what I mean when I say Advaita and Neo Advaita. When you search on Google for Neo Advaita teachers, Rupert Spira and Gangaji show up, they may be Neo Advaita I'm not sure, but they were not who I meant by it.

    With Advaita I mean teachers such as Mooji, Adyashanti, Gangaji, Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, you know the famous bunch. 

    With Neo Advaita I mean speakers such as Tony Parsons, Jim Newman, Andreas Muller.

    So are "you" - just by nature of writing these meaningless words:>

    Who's still in the dream of seperation? 

    You said it yourself: there is nobody here. You are speaking to yourself as 'whatever you wanna call the ineffable'.

    ----

    "The deepest awakening is Infinite Love"

    The deepest awakening/Infinite Love is at the same time:

    now  / nothing / ever-present / what-is
    &
    'my past DMT-trip' / 'my future DMT-trip/mystical experience' / something / hard-to-get / what isn't 

    :D

    I'll take an impossible shot:

    Everything is IT.
    Everything is God.
    Which is me, you, everything, nothing, Love, etc.
    However, some *perceived* part of 'IT' (even though there are no parts) are more "God-like"; that is: more aware of itself as IT.
    The parts of God not so aware of IT are deliberately designed to be so.

    After all, what all this can be best described as is by analogy of a game. 

    Existence is playful. Life is a game. Play it how you wanna. The highest game is the one where you try not to play.
    Within the game it is possible to become aware of the game itself by doing certain "things" (i.e. just gaining experience through living live, taking psychedelics, etc.) . This is what awakening is. However, everyone else playing the game rather unconsciously are just as much God/Infinite Love as you are. After all, it is all you, God, your way, God's way.

    Who's waking up? God. Who's asleep? God. 
    You.

    Thank you, I enjoyed reading that, but this is of course just gobbledygook aswell.

    And I'm not taking this seriously, you know, all of this talk about who is awake and who is not. I like challenging perceived authority, especially when it is "spiritual" and many people are open and vulnerable; suggestible to whatever Leo says.

    Leo holds a lot of power, with this power comes great responsibility. ?.

    but the fact remains you are very far from Infinite Consciousness, and that is what you really want without even knowing it.

    If it is infinite, what is it that is very far from it? What is separate from infinity??????? What are you imagining is writing this right now???? Probably a separate conscious living entity.

    You are fooling yourself that you are awake and inventing pleasant stories for why you shouldn't awaken deeply.

    Maybe... Who cares?

    If you don't want to awaken deeper, then why are you here? You could be watching TV and eating Cheetos or something.

    It just is what is apparently happening and nobody is here.

    You are not infinitely conscious right now. So spare me the neo-Advaita platitudes.

    Notice that you are definitely not infinitely consciousness. At least admit it to yourself if not to me.

    I'm not, but the only one that matters to is the human I am dressed up as. Your mistake is to think that I'm supposed to look a certain way. You're a knowledge addict, you need those hits of understanding, that is why you prefer me in a mystical form rather than this form. This form is exactly where Love is.

    See? I can talk God language too! Personal pronouns or impersonal ones, it doesn't actually matter, you can't get closer or further away from what is, there is no need for anyone to GET that. Words are sneaky, what is pointed to isn't found in anything it is everything, so it isn't found in the words, it is the words. The pointing is the pointed to.

    The deepest awakening is Infinite Love. If you got it, it would kill you and there's be nothing left but Love forever. This Love would love itself forever without any problems. The human you would be so dead you could not even remember it or miss it. It would literally be Heaven, precisely because you would be gone.

    But before you go worrying about all this, how about you lock down a tiny shallow awakening? ;)

    Don't waste your time on pipe dreams.

    "Would do, would do, would be, would be." You're still in the dream of seperation, duality; the relative seperate from the absolute. OR you're consciously being a ?, but I don't think so.

    Infinite consciousness is misleading. It looks as if it could be understood, an infinite "thing" called consciousness. There is no infinite "thing". The word "infinity" alone without the added "consciousness" is better. What infinity points to is unknowable, which is why it is a good word. You can create any concept you want around that, and then discard it, because infinity can not be understood. Infinity is what is writing this, reading this, displaying this, noticing this, feeling this, bla bla bla. There is no path to what is already.

    The fear of death comes when a resistance or "ego" interferes with a mystical experience. The ego comes in and says "if I go any further I'll die," but the ego was already dead untill it uttered those words. When the world reappears it let's out a sigh and says "that was close, I almost died."

    What is, is the glimpse. This is the big bang echoing. There is no death, only for the dream of being born.

    The ultimate realization is that you are IT and not only "no self"

    No thought or idea is ultimate. What is ultimate/absolute must by definition be what is already, unknowable because it is every object in appearance. There can be no real seperation from all there is.

    All realizations are what is, but revealed in them is not more what is than what is. The belief that an ultimate truth will ever be realized or achieved is a sign of the dream, it is a belief that you are seperate and that you need answers to become whole or to find home. All there is already is home, and it is appearing as this. It never moves and is simultaneously ever changing.

    It is not bliss, it is this. Reaaaally disappointing for the seeker, haha. People really can't hear that enlightenment isn't about them, somewhere there is an expectation in every seeker that some end or final state of endless happiness will come and fireworks will go off and they'll know for sure that they've made it. 

    See how obvious it is that even you don't know what you are seeking, nothing you can come up with is satisfying forever, it is a dream based on false hope.

    Express jealousy, crazy as it may sound. It brings alignment to desire, focus, and wanted, and it brings whatever’s ’off’ to the surface, into the light to be burned away. Open the flood gates, release it, Big Love is behind whatever it is, and emotions can be so counter intuitive. Always appreciating what you share btw, and wishing you the absolute best. ?? 

    Just went through the emotional scale thing and I just gotta say, wow.. Thank you so much.

    Yea, I know there is something there and that it is so so subtle. Lately I've just been dealing with very heavy intense energy that seem to get more contracted with the message.

    The message seems to transcend the idea of a someone liking or disliking anything.

    It leaves you empty handed without a leg to stand on. ❤

    This is what I'm talking about. What is "it" and who is the "you" that it leaves empty handed? To me that sentence seems directed towards an individual, not God/nothing (whatever you want to call it.) It could be read as being directed towards nothing/God but that is just not what I feel. (Please don't get stuck on the words here, like "directed towards." - Be honest.)
