VeganAwake

Let's try to think about this as simply as possible. If you are looking at the ocean from a satellite image and you counted eight million waves in the ocean you would not say wow look at these eight million individual waves apart from the ocean. You would understand that from a certain perspective they seem separate but they're really just the ocean, they always were the ocean, they never were separate. The separation never occurred it was just an illusion ❤

Sorry I did not mean to focus on the eyes during meditation. When I meditate I just listen to the breath, allow my thoughts to arise, simply notice them and let them fall away. I've also had that pressure feeling in the third eye that is normal. I would not be concerned about your progress of realization. Continue meditating and staying in the present moment as conscious awareness within the conscious space of Oneness. When you do a 180 and turn within ask yourself who am I over and over again and see what comes up... Try to find where this sense of self resides within the body...

@Raptorsin7 to make it easy anything that causes pain and suffering is undoubtably the mind-body. Anything that causes happiness peace and joy is conscious awareness or Oneness... You're doing the right thing just continue staying present in conscious space with your attention as the eyeballs of conscious awareness. The more you practice the more you will be able to stay in this Oneness state... aha moments can happen but they can slowly happen as well if that makes sense. There is nothing other than THIS. You are IT. You are Enlightenment itself. PS ..don't try to kill the ego you can't..simply see it for what it is and it will sit down with its nose in the corner by itself.

Of course you can but the mind is conditioned and reacts on autopilot..

The body-mind is duality, it is the defense mechanism between a body-mind and Oneness realizing its the same. The separation the body- mind creates with Oneness is obviously an illusion. Just this realization alone is a big first step....Awareness alone is Curative. Ask yourself what's prior to the body-mind? What you are is prior to language and Body-Mind. You are what does not change. What does not change? The Conscious Space in which everything exists inside of, and the Conscious Awareness that is aware of this space and can focus its attention on it. It is not two different things it is still Oneness. It's Oneness observing itself that's who you are...❤ Let me know if you understand what I said ❤

Duality is like believing the finger, the point, the moon and the distance between the hand and the Moon we're all separate things/events Non-duality is realizing it was always only Oneness happening inside of itself.( big picture thinking) ❤

The separation never occurred. The idea that he could ever be multiple separate(duality) things was the illusion itself... Yes He Is ❤

@pluto ❤

Matt think about who is trying to become awakened... The character otherwise known as the false self cannot awaken. It doesn't have the ability to awaken because this character is a fictional entity created by the ego construct. Yes there is a real human body/mind but there is NOT a character named Matt which you are trying to awaken. Do you see the problem? You are trying to awaken an illusory sense of self. The person you described as inadequate and plagued by addictions and emotions is an illusion. Your true self is what does not change its what is always here it's the pure conscious awareness that you need to notice and realize as your true self. Here is a video called the illusion of "I" and I would also like you to watch the movie: Samadhi (Maya the illusion of self) on YouTube okay...... trust me on this one...❤ Good luck Oneness!! Become aware ? ❤

You're asking a very deep question ❤ You see this Oneness/Non-duality realization runs a lot deeper than almost everyone understands. A lot of people pretend to understand as they stay safely in the confines of their comfort-zones without even realizing it. Oneness is all there is. It is YOU and YOU are IT. THIS is IT. This is ENLIGHTENMENT. There was never 8 billion separate waves in the ocean there was only the ocean/oneness...diversity never existed. Diversity, separateness and duality is an illusion of the mind, a figment of the imagination, a fictitious belief. The separation never occurred, we have always only been one and its YOU... You are the Conscious Space in which everything is occurring, THIS is all happening inside of you, as you, by YOU. Everything is you the Dolphins the whales the seals the Bears the antelopes the trees the grass the mountains. It's literally all happening inside the Conscious Space of YOU as YOU....trippy right ? There is nothing happening outside of YOU outside of THIS!!! This Pure Conscious Awareness is waking up to itself, inside of itself, as itself. It's like all the atoms in the human body waking up and realizing we're not the individual atoms were the whole body... This is why all the Great Masters say you are already enlightened. There is nothing else you could be ...you are it NOW. You are Enlightenment itself. This is the realization the Big Kahuna that everyone is seeking and they don't even realize they already have it haha... all that is required is to see it right now in this present moment....DO YOU SEE IT!! Can YOU believe it was that easy. You are enlightened!!! You just needed to become aware of it!!

@Billy Shears haha thanks I needed that...❤ Happy Thanksgiving!!

Oneness see's what it is saying... yes this Oneness understanding is tricky. ❤ You see even something describing Oneness as paradoxical would almost imply a separate entity describing Oneness as paradoxical implying a separation. Does Oneness see how tricky this understanding itself can be LOL... Oneness would not describe itself as paradoxical. That would be like a horse describing itself as having a funny way about itself. Oneness just IS.... Can you see how funny this is? A lot of people try to ponder Oneness, with the belief they are outside of it... Thanks my friend ?

Can you describe to me what you mean by the Paradox of Oneness please... I'm trying to understand where you're coming from. I think I know but I'm not positive

Ha this work is prior to kindergarten level it's what you were before you learned anything. You can still private message me anytime good luck Oneness ❤

It can be hard if you try to wake up the character... The Body/Mind is not what wakes up. Pure non-dual Oneness wakes up and it's so beautiful you almost poop your pants... ❤

I keep telling this to people and I understand that it sounds like a rude comment but I assure you it's out of love...❤ "The biggest obstacle to Discovery is not ignorance, it's the illusion of knowledge". If you believe you already have the answer why would you go through a difficult process of finding out the truth. Your ego tells you... I already have the answer because it knows if you discover the truth it will be its annihilation... I will help you with this if you allow me to just let me know ❤

Okay yes we definitely have different descriptions and ideas of what the ego construct is...❤ Here's a short video describing my view of what an Ego is...

That's the thing there are no one's separate from the one. Lol. Haha yes language is dualistic by Nature so it makes everything even more confusing ❤ I think that's partly where the idea that Enlightenment cannot be put into words saying comes from... it's so accurate.

What is your definition of an Ego?

haha nice ❤.... this could be translated to: Well put. Oneness promotes itself to OnenessCanAwake It's also important for Oneness to realize that Oneness is already awake, and that once the veil is lifted, Oneness will see clearly that it's always been just One....❤

Meditation can help completely quiet the Whirlwind of the minds constant monkey chatter. Meditation is the one technique that no matter what I always recommend to help in self realization. ❤ Meditation=Calming whirlwind of mind=High Quality Presence=High chance of awakening ?

@TDW1995 Hey there.. this guy is real ?...thought you might like his material. ❤

@Eugenio nice one you look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed compared to my boot camp picture my parents said I looked like I was going to pass out haha..hoorah sir I probably would have died during Marine Corps boot camp LOL...

@Elisabeth ❤

Thanks for the honest feedback I appreciate it ❤... I actually read his awaken now book a couple of times and continued doing inquiry into the nature of this oneness... Something has shifted for me just in the last couple days. This non-dual Oneness realization is becoming clear quickly... love feels like it's saturating through my consciousness. When Oneness is ready to wake up, Oneness sees its own reflection. ❤ Will definitely let Oneness know how it goes with Fredness ❤
