To retain the state of awakening and expanding is really going deep in own drama. The growth in the body/mind is infinite like evolution. There are more enlightened human beings and less enlightened. It is like a bodybuilder's journey but different. Yes, enlightenment cannot be quantified. There is a point on which everybody can find a common experience, that is awakening and change, from that state on, is infinite, literally.

No pain, no gain. Otherwise is only mind's old patterns.

It's a trap!

Qualifications? Those who are on the path, whom awakened and expanding all the time surely they have something to say. There is a "non-arrogance virtue" in spiritual groups, and I think is just BS. Those who are walking the path and know how IT works, really don't bother with "I'm arrogant or not", in fact, they are the most arrogant. This social humbleness in "respect the stupid or the handicapped or ignorant" are just social constructs to have a sheep society.

Rationality is a belief system.

Duality is Magick.

For me, none.

It's a trap!

I've awakened without info and help, and keeping to it, it is infinite. So the ideals you describing are just ideals.

Wanna know the truth? Usually, the inner family circle makes you feel like this. You have to escape the feelings of the family, usually, parents build their adult personalities on the children and vice-versa. Same happens in dormant couples. Basically, those who love you they make you feel like this. Turn inwards and go with it, discover your own feelings. In the process you may feel physical pain doing this.

I believe Joseph Maynor is good and right.

It's a trap!

I found the way in a way but, some believe it would be boring staying in the same body and evolving with it.

Always been like this Those fantasies of a nice society are just fantasies. But is worst if someone thinks bad and smiles instead of being plain and direct with the insults. So, beware more of those who fake love they are the most dangerous. Like the saying: "a barking dog will not bite you".

Indeed, society works this way. True spirituality and true yoga are long gone from the spiritual and religious books. What we get in society are badges and survival kits. True transcendence, nobody speaks about IT. And there is more, those who started to see glimpses on how reality works they think they are enlightened already, hahahahaha, hilarious.

I will just keep the insights for myself, hahahahaha... Nobody in this forum is that open to let go of the "standard bar in the mainstream" on how everything works and be open to the literally immortal body? I'm currently on the path and I can prove it in flesh and bone. But maybe in 5 years, I'll have a heavier impact. Anyways... let's go meditate, this can blow someone's mind and I'll not make myself responsible. ?

@Shadowraix You don't know.

I have discovered something huge in the last year, this is why I post this kind of posts and I'm so radical. Something beyond what any enlightened human being has had taught.

@How to be wise You don't know.

Self-centering is the key to empathy.

Take in mind that Sadhguru has to speak on a political correctness to not get killed by the crowd. So what you just did in copy/paste his public work is just informational, has no real value if you don't experience that for yourself, nor is a guidance to one's experience.

And the brain is controlled from which parts of the body?

Stop reading, stop watching, stop listening. Take time alone and just breathe, nothing much.

It happened to me in a similar manner. But now after some years from my first awakening and thousands more, I can say there is an immediate shift in being yes. But like any practice or experience, one can manage better with time what was happening, how to grow, how to keep the harmony growing without getting trapped and continuing healing and expanding. So Elkhart Tolle is in his own journey. People like to point out that one shift in ones experience and that is enlightenment. I say yes and no. Try it for yourself. We cannot agree what Enlightenment is at the end of the day. Does myself have the ability & knowledge to heal or seeing reality as it is, even at the magnitude of controlling those unawakened or psychic abilities? Do one still thinks he/she is enlightened? When I first started to play around with people thoughts, making them feel blissful and full of joy, raising the vibration on those around. Yes, I said to myself "I'm enlightened". Same when I first discovered how reality works, getting all the secrets of any human being that has ever lived or still alive or from any source of information or art, understanding any maze and puzzle of the reality. Now I can say Enlightenment is something of the magnitude of eternal growth if one let it happen. Or if one chooses can go Mooji style, staying in the same patterns for years and get worshipped. This is a way of those who went a little further into the darkness and lighten up a candle.

Depends on the magnitude of your own personality. What have you built before awakening? It is a period of deconstruction, maybe months of literally every day maybe having panic attacks and knowing you are having them and you go deep in them, then you find your true self only in that pain and suffering you ran from in the past. The dark night of the soul can happen every moment if you go into growth. Once you start raising Kundalini is not something that will have an end, only a beginning. When one taps into the base of the spine red, with orange and yellow, then in the head trauma will arise, this is the only way to hit the giant one has built over time, the ego, the conceptions of reality. Maybe a heavy fire in the head, maybe strong headaches, maybe cold light head. All depends on how much of a strong persona one has built over time. And yes, one is more than fully functional after achieving some harmony and balance into the growth of the flying dragon. Those spiritual teachers that yet we hear the echoes of how spirituality works, in my opinion, the alive ones got something to say, but those who died are dead.
