All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

You are already Enlightened. You need to meditate to clear away and dissolve the obstructions that are in the way to you experiencing your enlightenment.

@Ry4n Great stuff ✌

This might give you a clue:

That's what Leo has been doing for many-many years now

@omar30 Exactly. It is truly amazing. @Gesundheit2 Well, things haven't changed much in that area unfortunately. If I started going around telling people that "Hey, wake up, you're God, I'm God, everything is Love, everything's God", I'd end up in an insane asylum or even killed. @Proserpina That's why you need healthy boundaries. It's really important in the relative domain.

Note: This thread is about the relative domain. Have you ever noticed any changes in your relationships since you've been doing consciousness work? This insight just came to my recently. I thought back the times when I didn't do any spirituality/self-development. Others around me (especially people who are close to me) behaved quite differently. Now I do know that you see other people not the way they are, but the way you are, but still. I think there's more to that. Especially if you're awake, you tend to have a certain vibe/aura that influences other people. If you're close to them, they tend to become more relaxed, more concious and more balanced. That's the reason why I finally understood Ramana's classic quote about self-realization: "Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world."

Confusion, distortion, hopelessness, despair.

@Raptorsin7 Yeah, raising consciousness are not really the best expression, but I think he meant that you need to make effort to clear away confusion, distortion and basically wake up from egoic consciousness.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Suicide is a survival mechanism.

Realizing what you should focus on and the current level of your development most is one of the most important steps, so good going!

Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.

The more you try to silence your mind, the noiser it is.
