@Jack River Unless all there is is nothing

Welcome @Tausif Ahmed "Spiritual experiences" are hallucinations, as well. All experiences are essentially, illusory. Simply because of there being an experiencer. Once the self is transcendend all there is; is nothing. Pure awareness. Emptiness. God. Awareness contains both the experience and the experiencer. It is awre of all simultaneously. aware of itself. Do not force spirituality into the rationalists' paradigm. Or the atheists'. Authentic awakening transcends all paradigms. Is beyond all perspectives. It is based on direct experience and awareness, purely. And all have access to that. No matter which paradigm they're trapped in. If you wish to raise your/their awareness all you have to and can do is shed light onto the present moment. The now. No one can deny "now". Many are not aware of it being eternal though. And its right in their face, all the time. Forever. Time exists only in their "mind". There is no actual time right here, right now. Never was, never will be. Time exists only in their "head". Yesterday is a story. Tomorrow never comes. There is only now and a... Massive hallucination. Being human is a story.

@How to be wise Yes. But concepts are also real.

@How to be wise Nice. Does nothing come prior to everything? Do they coexist? Where are you in all of it? Are you nothing? Are you everything? Or are you both simultaneously? Is there a difference at all?

@Surfingthewave Yes, that too would be an illusion. But it would also be epic. Your face and my face are actually one face. No face. Illusion is being demonized way too often, when in fact; it's a true masterpiece. Unrecognized by the one gazing at the art. It is a reflection of God. Infinite intelligence. It' so intelligent it can fool itself into thinking it can outsmart itself. Hilarious! And also genius.

One does not have to know one does not know. Cut that loop; it's silly. One must only become aware of the illusion. See through it. And that requires no knowledge whatsoever.

It's hilarious how quickly one can shift from "I am enlightened" to "they started it" One must purge one way or another. I feel like it's cool that we have a platform like this for that to happen. You're all masters of your own philosophy. Diversity is always exciting. Much room for growth and expansion. Love ya'all ?

@Juan Cruz Giusto Nicely put. The flame burns eternally not knowing fire.

Ever read your own words? Ever caught a glimpse of that reflection? It's crazy how precise and accurate it is. I am open for anything you feel like suggesting to me, Joseph. Honestly. But so far I only see you kicking into nothing, pointing at your own forehead. Gotta admit, it's cool that you see me as superior tho. Whatever I did to make you conclude that. I guess you're the first one. Not even triggered.

By communicating it to yourself.

@Nahm Spotless mirrors.

@Shadowraix I do not negate or deny the importance of knowledge or any teaching. I simply express myself. As well as document my own process of evolution. All of this is personal to me af. But also totally not. This is exactly how transcendence is playing itself out in my experience. Every word is consciously written for me, by me. Yet the intention behind it all is far beyond the self. It is pure and divine. Teaching is secondary, automatic even. Was not part of the plan, so to speak. But it surely completes the circle.

@Nahm Never said I don't love em or do disrespect em. I just don't get the hype. It's overblown. False. Authentic awakening requires nothing. Awareness and direct experience only. No beef, really. Just felt like I saw enough to express some. ? @luckieluuke I could not write about anything without experiencing it first. It's just not what I do. Not how I'm wired. Experience is primary. Expression comes right after it. Authenticity is key. Got myself a rather pleasant loop going on here haha. I love it.

Everybody else is also me. Why would I wanna tear myself down? Why wouldn't I wanna elevate everyone? Can't you see the mirror, Joseph? You speak so often about transcending the mind, yet here you are; unable to recognize transcendence when it's right in your face. This is just an expression, Joseph. Has no built it meaning. You should know that by now.

@Pouya Everything is supposed to happen and nothing is supposed to happen. At times it may seem as if there is no choice to be made; no free will. But there definitely is. Right now, right here. Always. Only thought can conclude there is no choice. And yes in fact sometimes thought has no other choice but to seize existing. Breath then takes over. Flow may be. Perfect choices are being made; in perfect alignment. No one is choosing anything. That is precisely why every choice is perfectly made. Only thought thinks any of this must make sense. Thank you for bringing me to life

(Nothing might be irrelevant for you. Work can be relevant) Nothing ever falls from the sky. Right? Wrong. You grew up thinking and believing grinding is the only way to achieve something. You gotta earn your way into the heavens. No one is allowed to just walk right in. It would make no sense. Well, turns out; nonsense is precisely what you need. You got it all backwards. Logic locked you in a cage. Linearity keeps your hands tied. And all your soul ever gets is just a few bones; thrown by the vicious master of puppets, every once in a while. I do not know where you are right now, nor what you are aware of. It might be an utter shock to you, or no surprise; You're the evil master, keeping yourself locked in a cage. The key is inside of your heart. You know that. But you are oh so afraid to go looking after it. You'd rather be grinding forever. Stay an obeying slave. Do as the master dictates. After all; at least he seems to be knowing exactly what he wants. He is confident with his demands. Decisive. His arguments are sharp and make perfect sense. You've been listening to the evil master for so long; he completely fooled you into believing in his own insanity. And you have nothing to compare it to. All you know is insanity. Thus insanity makes perfect sense to you. The master is pleased. Getting drunk in his delusion; dragging you around at all times. Order is not needed. Linearity is an illusion. Drop those now! You are infinite, for God's sake. Act like it. What could possibly stop you? An imaginary cage? An imaginary, vicious master? C'mon. *metaphysical slap* Wake the fuck up! You need yourself, now more then ever. I need you. We all must break through. Otherwise none of us has really broken through, at all. In order to transcend order, you must see through the illusion of it. These words are in no order. They make no sense. The evil master makes you believe they do. It's automatic. That's how deeply it is rooted. That's how deeply you've been fooled. By yourself. Try to recognize nonsense now. It's right in your face. Making perfect sense. I can see you getting closer. I can see you start to smile. I see colossal eyes... There's a shadow over sun, and no wonder why... T e s s e r a c t It is not meant to be understood. There is nothing to understand. It is perfect as it is; paradoxical and nonsensical. Flawless and impossible for one to understand. See the power of not knowing, not understanding. You've fooled yourself into believing those are needed. You think that's your ticket. Your key. But it's not. It's just another level of trickery. To break free; you must admit to yourself you fooled yourself; hard and nasty. Big times. You must face your own cruelty. You have to see exactly how, when and where. You have to experience it, re-experience it. Let it pass through you as many times as needed. As long as it repeats itself. You will be tested. You have to prove sense nonsensical to yourself. Disbelieve it all. And that will seem very counterintuitive and paradoxical. Become comfortable with contradictions. Stop constantly seeking them dots to connect. Nothing is meant to make nonsense. Start loving your shame. Accept it. Invite it in, and do not kick it out this time. Surrender pride now. Authenticity is necessary, too. Do not keep fooling the fool. Do not try tricking the trickster. You'll know when you'll be bullshitting yourself. Be honest now, do it for real. Once and for all. Do what the fuck now, exactly? Nothing, of course. You do nothing. That's your power. You just don't know what the fuck that means yet. You keep thinking you need to know and it has to mean something. You are the snake eating yourself for all eternity. What can such a snake do? Nothing. But it's magical and eternal. Doing is not needed. Work is not needed. Those are unconsciously created and accepted misaligned beliefs. Spit those out now. They will slowly make you decay. Burn you out. You are a conscious creator. You do not work or grind. You are the definition of a miracle. Pure magic. Divinity. And so is everything you touch, do and imagine; create. No matter how asleep or deluded. Even if you're digging holes for 12 hours straight, or cleaning public toilets, or sucking your manager's balls, or just simply boring yourself to death in a cubicle... You are not working. There is no work being done. No grinding. You do what you do by choice. Continuously. Repeatedly. Admit that to yourself. Gotta stop playing games. Take real responsibility. It's not what you thought it was. If only... You like your position? Cool. Become even more conscious of how exactly you create every bit of that experience. Enjoy the crap out of it. Love it. Keep expanding. You hate your position? Good. Admit that to yourself. Admit you're keeping yourself as a slave, while constantly pointing towards nothing, blaiming nothing for the misery that is your own creation. Start loving it. Heal. Break free. All shall then come to you. Without any grinding. Effortlessly and smoothly. Magically.

@FoxFoxFox So basically fear of the unknown. The unusual. The new. That is to be expected during a process of transformation. It's only natural. What works for me might not work for you. But here's how I "tame" fear; What is the source of all fear? I am. I create it. Thus it must be necessary. It must be an expression of divinity. It must be a reflection of perfection. It's just not recognized properly. What does fear mean? What is it trying to make me aware of? What can fear see while I am blind to it? Awareness would then expand, enough to recognize the message. Contraction and unease would be no more. Fear is tightly connected to overcoming limitations. And it can kick in hard, as you approach one of those boundaries. It lets you know; "You are getting closer to unknown territory, be careful." Also; Get far enough from your heart and fear will signal. That is how you become aware of misaligned beliefs, thoughts and actions. Surrender the need to control fear. It is not to be controlled. It is to be allowed and transformed. Fear is also often combined with excitement. Which is a perfect indicator and a confirmation of the above mentioned. If you're excited about the new, but fear what that might mean for the old/current... Great! That's exactly how it's supposed to be. It's just how this game is. You merge with fear by loving it. Like everything else. You must see it's perfection. Recognize it's purpose. Invite it in. Do not push it away. This too will feel very counterintuitive; no surprise. Fear is unrecognized love. (Talking openly and honestly about your fears to those close to you is helpful as well. At times fear only needs to be expressed. Be heard.)

@FoxFoxFox mind to describe your situation a bit? I deal with fear on daily basis Why do you fear fear?

Fear is a compas. A navigation system. A guiding mechanisms. Get close to a boundary; fear will let you know. As soon as it's message is recognized; fear has completed it's job and is no longer present in your direct experience. Resist fear and fear will persist. It will grow bigger, and do anything really to make you face it, accept it. Fear is necessary. One must use it in alignment.

That first one is nasty. Love them ancient, tribal vibes. Mixed with any genre, really. Here, try this one out; This is so yummy. Plenty for awareness to be aware of. Always gets me all hyped up. The detail in this shit is insane. Production is fckn flawless. I dig electo. But I've always been pulled towards more organic music. So all I did was experiment a bit with loops and whatnot, for a short period of time. Twas fun. Here's a throwback into my d'n'b days; https://m.soundcloud.com/ivex-2/ivex-slaughterhouse Short but nasty.

A warm @WelcometoReality Thank you! ?

Because I choose to. I love it.

@Charlotte I really don't know what I'm doing, and it's wonderful Much love and respect ?

@Adilbek It is simple, but can get tricky. Major transitions come with major tests. You must persist; pass them all. Recognize them for what they are. They are your calling. An invitation for growth and expansion. See only confirmation of your progress. Mistakes will fix themselves. You're doing great. Salute! @DrewNows The higher the acceleration - the closer you are to fear; constantly. It is always a possibility. That is why fear is not to be avoided or denied. Rather; recognized for what it is, accepted and used in alignment. Fear merely signals. It is a compass. It cannot harm you, really. Surrender to it. Transform it. Become friends with it and you will understand it's messages, hints and nudges. Do not resist. Love. Glad to be of service ? @Nahm Would not happen without you. Forever grateful ?

@Rinne That is relative. There is no one approach that is practical for everyone. All must find their own way out of the maze. Practice is not what I aim to suggest here, really. Rather; a radical shift. A decision. This is not about meditation, contemplation or any form of inquiry. This is about action and will. Momentum. Creatorship. For example; If you hate your job and really feel pulled towards being a wine maker; instead of trying to reduce stress with meditation; you should just simply quit the damn job. Take the risk. Trust in your capabilities. Recognize the thrill and excitement in the unknown. Just go for it. Forget yesterday. Now you're on a path of becoming a wine maker. And you have no idea what to do, where to start. And that's perfect. Doesn't get any more practical than that. But surely is not relevant for all. A certain level of detachment must be achieved. One must become comfortable with change and radical reorientation.
