@SoonHei the mystic is on his way

@SoonHei Ahh..yes...thats such an important point... How do we? well remember that since everything is consciousness it requires a radical "shift" in consciousness to maneuver outside the dream. Can't reach outside from within. One must shift consciousness via mysticism

@Raf_vd i was actually going to make a post about Kundalini..which i call Being. That feeling..and it is so blissful..that is the start of the collapse of the ego into Being. It has to become so strong that it overwhelms the ego. So most of the time it never gets that strong but just to have the chakras open in you is huge. Because when awakening happens it will come on spontaneously out of nowhere. So any technique that can stimulate Kundalini or Being for you is what you should do. Everyone is different. Love can bring it on too. If you have music that you love listening to that while meditating can be very powerful.

God or you in your formless state is Nirvana. But God, being Infinite and alone, dreamt up the brilliant idea to escape himself via limitation. In this way he could forget himself. In the dream he created limitation via the illusion of form - or finite points of view. You are one of those. You as form are a particular way....and in this limited form you will experience suffering. Pains in the back..old age..disease..etc etc. When you are dreaming at night it is very real to you..because you are INSIDE the dream. It's all you know. Only after you awake do you say "how the hell did i get fooled again!" And it happens again and again because from inside the dream one cannot see outside. Thats what's happening here.

We can only imagine Infinity. Thats as close as our finite minds can get. It is pure potential - every possiblity that can ever possibly be, which of course includes the possiblity of no possibilty. All is happening and not happening simultaneously. And Infinity has nowhere to go but itself. Thus possibilities and the absence of them happen right on top of each other - there is no where to go. Non-existence is happening right now

@Cuddy5269 indeed. Truth is counterintuitive. Discovering Truth lies in the absence of thought. So when meditating try to simply be present and BE. Find something in the room that you can stare at..such as your hand or any object. Acknowledge or become conscious of it. Then back off any further thought. Notice this is Actual in your direct experience. That actuality I.E. the present moment - the now - that is consciousness or Being. Do not get discouraged because every minute of meditation you will make progress, even if it doesn't feel like it. I would also recommend going through Leos enlightenment videos from the first one on as it will teach you self inquiry as well.

@SoonHei you must journey to where the mind cannot

@SoonHei it is the no content on the screen... Of course the content or lack of and the screen itself are One

@SoonHei Non-existence is happening right now. Right over the top of existence.

@Aaron p that is very key to this work. It is knowing without "knowing". Once you conceptualize it you have lost it.

@Cuddy5269 ask away we can answer..

@Joseph Maynor SD Stages only exist in the dualistic mind of the ego. Don't get lost in them. They're nice when playing in duality. But be conscious you are playing.

@SOUL who posted this then?

@ColdFacts dude lose it. Your evil won't win here. Do you meditate and are you trying to find Truth or are you here just to be a thorn in the hide of Truth?

@DrewNows Indeed mate.

And that being said, ONLY Love will awaken us.

@Mu_ Its all good. We must All be careful not to let Ego consume us. Myself included. It is Ego that will destroy us in the end. We must be self aware of that and embrace love for all. So much Love. And that includes you Cold.

Well Look what the cat dragged in...

For the record i saw nothing wrong with Soul's post. If took me a minute to decipher it but i was able to grasp what his point was. He was not pushing anything on anyone. The truth is that 99.9% of the population today is lost. That's just reality.

@Jkris

@Aakash A person cannot be enlightened. Read the title of the post. Just kidding! We need some enlightenment humor here

@iTommy Glimpses can be very profound sometimes hours or days afterwards - consciousness will expand.

@iTommy ??

@Jkris well first lets clarify what we call the word enlightenment. Winterknight is using it in the context of Truth or God. In that context since the ego is an illusion masking the formless underneath which is God - then God or Truth is ever present whether in a state of form, the ego, or a state of formlessness - or Being. Being is Absolute Infinity or pure potential. Therefore there is no one to be eniightened as Truth or God is all there is...it is One and it is always One. But if we use the word enlightenment in a different context - rather we use it as God seeing through his own illusion and discovering himself - that is what we commonly call it. There still is no person, and God was always God, but he is discovering himself through his own illusion, the very illusion he created in which to escape himself. "He" is used metaphorically here of course. But this discovering requires mystical experiences. During which the form or ego collapses and only Being remains. Prior to that ego was on top of Being. A state of Being is completely non-dual and bliss, and Truth or facets of Truth are revealed to you. Not as the ego but as God. So it's God's experience Does that help?

@tecladocasio God is enlightening itself. That's what is really going on. God is infinite and is itself. It cannot escape to anywhere. Thus it limits itself with duality/form/illusion to forget itself. Thats the only way to virtually escape itself. Through division. So it is God that is discovering itself or enlightening itself. Over and over forever. And their are stages God discovers itself in. It would be too much in its limited form to handle becoming itself all at once. And you are God.
