@James123 There isn't a real burden. The self attempting to become free from burden, IS THE BURDEN! It's never satisfied. 👀 👀 👀 There's no formula or awakening........it's just 👀 👀 👀 ing ❤️

Not requiring fulfillment, ends up being the fulfillment essentially 😉

The sense of self is never fulfilled. It always needs more. Notice it! It ends up being the fulfillment longed for by nobody. ❤️

“uneasy is the head that wears a crown”

The difference ends up being indifferent. The insight ends up being, there isn't one. The awakening ends up being, there isn't anyone to wake up. The freedom ends up being, all there is. But for no one. 😉 ❤️

The body just reacts and seemingly makes decisions. The self illusion is that which seemingly takes ownership & believes it's the reactor and decision maker.....the puppet master! There's no free will because there isn't a "you" in the body doing ANYTHING. ❤️

There's nothing missing ladies and gentlemen.........what the hell is everyone looking for? You can't fool me though......everyone just needs a friend to sympathize ❤️

It doesn't actually form because its not really there, but it seems to start at a young age of 3 or 4. Adults and parents tell you who you are and what is expected of you and so on. A self image is slowly created over time and becomes very important very quickly. Experiences, memories, thoughts, things you are told and believe, things you learn, your surroundings, reflections in the mirror etc etc........these all assist in creating that illusory self image. An unreal product of its surroundings, but seems completely real and solid usually. Even if the self image doesn't feel that real or solid, once it's threatened or pushed to far.....it comes out of the woodwork quickly. It layers, morphs and changes also like different versions of the same self-illusion. ❤️

I know what you mean. Nothing actually drops away and it's not like forgetting who you were or something. It's actually clear how the illusion of self is formed and maintained. Energy is no longer given to it and it begins to dissolve. At some point, it can just become obvious that the self construct isn't really there. Psychedelics/meditation or not. It's kind of like realizing Santa Claus isn't real. Once it's seen clearly, not much energy goes into upholding the Santa belief 😉 ❤️

Yup, it's not really there and nobody knows it. I used the word behind because the me illusion always hogs all the attention.....it's always front row at the orchestra 🤣 🫶

Couldn't say for sure. Maybe a different part of the brain realizes this entire "me construct" was never real. So here it seemed to anyways. Maybe a flexibility of the brain/mind. 🤷‍♂️ Either way, that clear realization is what allows for the relaxation or energetic shift away from upholding this needy "me construct" Before it occurs, that energetic tension is hardly even noticed because the body is so used to it........after it's quite surprising how much energy goes into it. And that relaxation time frame seems to vary from body to body. ❤️

Self illusion cant let go of itself, because itself is all it knows. The very thing attempting to let go and benefit, IS the illusion of self. It's recognized behind this self illusion. Like emptiness recognizing emptiness. This apparent letting go isn't a physical action, it's a result of clearly seeing it never was! ❤️

Hahaha, there wouldn't be really anyway of knowing. For example an enlightened parent may actually be a part of a big church organization to reap the benefits of a safer environment and cheap childcare services. They can blend in anywhere like a chameleon. Trust, enlightenment is not at all what it seems like from most spiritual circles. ❤️

Yeah, you kind of see everything with a clean slate or new eyes. The mind naturally wants to label and judge everything, which can create one heck of a dream story. When these habitual perception flaws and judgments start crumbling under the weight of truth, the unknowable THIS is lifed out from behind the veil. And sometimes the insight ends up being, "the recognition that insights are also just another illusory layer of this empty dream story" Paradigms can really start collapsing ❤️

No body gets out alive, and that which wants to live infinitely, is an illusion! So nothing matters! It doesn't matter if you love the bodies, the planet, the plants and animals, the nice dog pissing on the nice tree lol. It also doesn't matter if you hate existence and its entirety. When that body dies, its the end of perception and experience. It won't even be aware it ever once existed! That which seems to be the conscious observer, never was.....it's an illusion! There's a body but its completely empty of a consciousness observer, soul, spirit or whatever.....it's just an empty body.....like a deer. The conscious observer is the illusion of self or maya. The ultimate cosmic joke......its perfectly empty. Now that's worth celebrating 🍾 👌 Nothing matters at all and everything is already perfect ❤️
