VeganAwake

As human beings we spend an incredible amount of time and energy creating and developing our self structure. Your self structure is made up of many little conditioned sub-programs or little bosses. One little boss that craves food, another craves money, another status, position, power, sex, intimacy. Another wants consciousness or attention from others. The desires are literally endless and can never be satisfied. We spend a lot of our time and energy decorating our prisons, succumbing to pressures to improve our masks, and feeding the little bosses, making them more powerful. Like drug addicts, the more we try to satisfy the little bosses, the more we end up craving. The path to freedom is not self improvement, or somehow satisfying the self’s agenda, but it’s a dropping of the self’s agenda altogether. Some people fear that awakening their true nature will mean that they lose their individuality and enjoyment of life. Actually, the opposite is true; the unique individuation of the soul can only be expressed when the conditioned self is overcome. Because we remain asleep in the matrix most of us never find out what the soul actually wants to express. When we turn within 180 degrees, and peer closely through the Veil of Maya, we can recognize we are not the small limited self we identify as. The small limited self is just recognized to be a compilation of ideas thoughts and beliefs we have created about ourselves since birth. They are simply perceptions and labels of Who We Believe We Are. When Awakening occurs these layers begin to crumble and Fall Away. When the Ivory Tower collapses, simultaneously the divine nature of who we really are is revealed... you're finally in line with your true nature ❤

@cetus56 Okay gotcha!!

@cetus56 Was not aware of that. You can lock it if you want. Doesn't really matter to me..?

Okay haha...? I understand Well if you would have, I would have explained to you how every single one of those characteristics are not you. They're just a compilation of thoughts, perceptions and beliefs you have about yourself or have allowed yourself to believe. So essentially you are telling me that a bunch of words thoughts perceptions and beliefs are what make up Mikael. Mikael is more of an idea than a real entity... doesn't that seem a little funny. In fact the whole story of Mikael is just that... a story

Give me a list of 15 characteristics that you believe describe you...please lol Just 1 word characteristics like: nice

Suffering is caused by resistance... what are you resisting? Maybe try some self inquiry. Where is this ME character located in the body? Is it in the hands is it in the arms is it in the shoulders it is in the feet is it in your legs is it in your torso or your chest is it in your head is it behind your eyes where is this me characters location? What is this ME character made of?

Yes there's endless masks.... When you identify with the masks you are caught in Maya... When one becomes awake there is no longer an identification as the character. And that doesn't necessarily mean one stops playing the role of the character either... some do some don't

I guess it depends on what you consider a big deal... it's what is. When it's recognized there is not an individual ME character inside the body it can be very liberating... the suffering that was felt prior turns into something almost laughable. There are quite a few other things that occur when this illusion is completely seen through such as disentangling from social conditioning and snapping out of The Matrix(as I like to call it). Yes pain would still be experienced because the human body still has its sense perceptions. It's just not being experienced for an individual located inside the body anymore. Feelings sights sounds tastes smells all still occur... they just don't occur for anyone... it's just what's happening ❤

That's the cosmic joke.. there is no one under the mask... there never was Just compiled energy thinking it's a real person. The whole thing was a sham and a misidentification with the body. complete boundless free energy... It's truly unknowable and completely radical...❤

The resistance to what's happening in life causes suffering. Don't resist or fight against what is, just recognize you don't have control anyways, no one does.. having control is the dream of the individual and there isn't one. ❤ Accept yourself 100% exactly the way you are right now in every situation. Nothing needs to be done nothing needs to be found nothing needs to be attained. Completely accept life be grateful for it. Surrender to life... Enlightenment is freeing yourself from your own mind that keeps telling you something needs to be done to feel complete. You are already complete you are already perfect. The egoic mind says seek but do not find. The trick is to recognize it's an illusion and that you are already perfect and complete and nothing need be done...?

yes ma'am...Rodger that..❤ It was an ox ?

Yes it's part of the infinite as an illusion or imagination. When Awakening occurs and the illusion is completely seen through it's recognized it never existed.

@Anna1 I don't consider anyone that awakens special, it's just something that happens within THIS. People can still screw up... there are so many misconceptions about Awakening it's ridiculous. I have apologized to you for that multiple times. I was completely wasted and barely remember anything. I know that doesn't excuse the behavior...❤ I'm glad the mods were there to remove it. Sorry Talk 2 u soon ?

First and foremost I am speaking about Awakening not about calming the mind or enjoying life more in the illusion. Also when I use the words I or me it is just an expression so you understand what I'm talking about. Yeah the pathless path to the gateless gate. ❤ I'm not open to discussion because Im completely liberated from the egoic self agenda. I'm not seeking on this forum for advice. I've spoken about meditation and other practices before. Until recently it was recognized that although these practices appear to help with Awakening, they can actually perpetuate the belief in the self illusion and can prolong Awakening. If you read through a lot of my posts you will see that I talk about turning within often, because that was what led me to Awakening. I know your trying to look out for people's best intentions. ❤ Maybe I will try to label my post better specifically pointing out what I am targeting with the message. If you guys compile your questions I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. It's difficult for me to go through paragraph after paragraph trying to catch every question. I'm having a heck of a time just helping people understand Duality is an illusion. Everyone keeps talking about it as if it's real as if it's a part of the absolute. A fictitious belief created in the mind is not part of the absolute... because it was simply never real to begin with ❤

@Inliytened1 ❤ haha the body is real ? Apparently

@Nahm

@Nahm I got a playing on my TV right now let's watch it together ?

Have you watched Samadhi part 1 (Maya the illusion of the self) ?

yes unconditional love agreed ❤ never thought God would need to practice so much ? THIS is God and it doesn't require anything. It's already perfection ❤

You drink alcohol to...oh god help us...jk ❤

Personal attack really....Anna here is what you said: What your preaching is very neo-advaita, and its not helpful. Everything I'm saying can be summed up very quickly and easily: 1) There's no separate ME character inside the body that is an illusion.( nonduality) 2) Practices are not required to have this recognition and in fact they often perpetuate the belief of the illusory self because one is trying to Enlighten the illusion. If this is neo-advaita then so be it. This message is from personal experience of becoming liberated from the egoic self agenda. Ps... My spiritual ego only puffs up when I'm drinking red wine lol.
