    Seeking for the fun of seeking is not suffering. You think you're a character in a book looking for buried treasure, but you are the character, the treasure, the setting and the author of the book. You came to seek, to be challenged and for the adventure. You came to be complete and incomplete all together. It's hard to weather days of sea sickness when you don't have a mission you're excited about. 

    You're more than welcome to stay in the dream as a ME...❤ There is nothing at all wrong with it.

    You are already complete, THIS is the treasure you are seeking... the adventure is unknowing!!

    Career is insignificant compared to soul purpose. Once you reunite with the true self and see your true purpose, then everything else will fall into place. All aspects of life will fall into harmony and flow effortlessly because when you are aligned, reality aligns because its one and the same.

    There was never a separation(illusion) nor is there a purpose. Everything is already in Harmony and effortlessly flowing you just do not see it ❤

    It's even worse than that unfortunately... enlightenment is what is already the case. ❤

    The Mind loves to create roadblocks and hurdles and convince you awakening is just around the next Corner just keep going( running on the hamster wheel)... the problem is THIS is already the TRUTH... so you never find it because it's already what IS.

    But don't take my word for it ..you can read this info from all the great Masters... they just use different words to explain the same recognition. ❤

    Try to keep some supportive people around you...

    I almost took a flight to India after serving 18 of a 20-year career in the US Navy...

    If I would have went through with it and they found me they would have threw me in the brig not to mention my wife and kids would have been pissed/hurt/wtf...LOL

    I'm still having problems at work but they realize I went through an Awakening and are working with me.. it helped I got a clinical psychologist to back me up on what I was saying... apparently California has some cool psychologist. ❤

    When the bottom of the bucket falls out, it never again holds water.

    When Consciousness wakes up to itself, it's realized the illusion never existed.

    Wakefulness could not fall back asleep because it's recognized the dream never existed in the first place.❤

    I suppose one could get conked on the head hard enough though... but even then there would still be a good chance of that person recognizing the truth again...

    Love needs a real recontextualization at a certain point by letting go of even the positive attachments. One should question and search for love with new eyes. In order to realize this Absolute Love you should go beyond sensuality and emotionality. 

    Freedom is the word to describe THIS.... it simply includes everything... you can call it love or banana sandwich, but to me it's all-encompassing

    There simply is no purpose or meaning... it is just THIS... ❤

    I would still be really careful about downplaying Ralstons awakening. I don't think there is better work out there when it comes to exploring the nature of the conceptual self vs being. If someone disagrees, show me otherwise if you've read Ralston's books. How deeply he breaks down every layer of the self in his work is seems unparalleled.

    @VeganAwake So it wasn't worth it? "I" will not like what I find at the end of this journey?

    This is where it gets a little difficult to explain:

    The belief that there is a separate individual that is trying to attain Enlightenment is the illusion itself.

    There will not be a "ME" that wakes up.

    Consciousness recognizes there was never a ME to begin with.

    It is a radical recognition and it does eliminate suffering of the illusory individual and ends the constant seeking.❤

    What's more important is realizing THIS is already perfection. Whether you are believing in a separate individual or not, its perfect in every way...its THIS!!! ❤

    @Key Elements I'm going right to the top. I'm ready, my life has never been lighter then it is right now. It's only going to get harder to accept and integrate the older I get. I have no kids, no partner, nothing i'm really afraid of losing besides dying I guess. This is it. I'm going all in.

    This sense of "I" is going to be in for a big letdown. When it comes to Awakening there isn't anything here for the sense of "I"...

    Remember, the "I" doesn't awaken...the sense of "I" is recognized to be an illusion.

    Simultaneously it's recognized that the sense of "I" never existed in the first place.

    Hence why it's hard to point at something that never existed yet everyone is identified with.

    When Awakening occurs there isn't some extravagant light show, it's simply shrugged off like: huh weird I was identified as something that never existed... how silly

    That's why it's described as "The end of suffering". It's recognized that the sufferer never existed in the first place... it was just a mistaken identity.

    Every experience is different so I'm really only speaking from a gradual enlightenment experience point of view. I'm sure an instantaneous Awakening feels much different.

    If THIS is all there is, where I am? 

    There isn't one. That's the illusion or Maya. ❤

    Go ahead and try to find yourself.

    Are you residing in your arm are you residing in your leg are you residing in your head are you residing in your stomach or your chest. Take a look..?

    You are absolutely correct! I don’t feel like I’m brainwashed though. Maybe obsessing over the fact that it all makes sense. The ONLY reason I’ve listen to so many of his podcasts is because I remember being nothing. It was like a bubble of love and peace with no sense of time or anything. I’ve been trying to make sense of it for 20 years and what Leo describes is that feeling I had! it brings me to tears the way he talks about it all. He talks about needing years of spiritual work to understand but it’s something I’ve always carried in this life but not ever being able to put the prices together until now. Do I sound brainwashed?

    Do you feel like this guy? ❤
