    In reality otherwise known as THIS, everything is already perfect, always has been and always will be. There's nothing to seek, nothing to achieve. Everything is already 100% perfectly complete and always has been.

    The illusion of the separate limited lacking self otherwise known as Maya or the dream creates constant feelings of need and incompleteness.

    You are seeking what you already are, so you will never find the answer. It's like looking for for your glasses that are on top of your head. This is what is described as running on the hamster wheel. It's completeness seeking completeness or Perfection seeking to be perfect... it makes no sense ?.

    The ego will keep telling you, if you can just get this job promotion and the new car with a hot girlfriend you will have everything you ever wanted and feel complete...Or if you can just find that last piece of sacred Egyptian knowledge you will have found the key to open the gateless gate to enlightenment.

    You see the constant seeking perpetuates the belief that you are incomplete and it will keep you running on this hamster wheel for your whole life.

    The ego knows that if you discover this, it will be the end of it, so it does everything it can to avoid hearing this deep TRUTH!!

    The ego is only real until it's realized it is an illusion...

    Basically your mind is being ran by something that isn't even real what a trip right....hehe

    Time to wake up and get off the hamster wheel ...I love you guys too much to allow something that doesn't exist to control you lol....❤

    The question is do you have eyes to see and ears to hear?

    ❤ ❤ ❤

    Any meditation or do nothing practice is great at disrupting the constant Whirlwind of monkey chatter in the mind.

    I recommend closing the eyes. Do not focus on anything but do not resist anything as well... just let a thought appear, notice it and let it fall away.

    What helped me was a lot of short periods of meditation throughout the day as opposed to just one Long session in the evening or morning.

    Before one of my big realizations, I was doing 2 or 3 10-minute meditation sessions throughout the day in the bathroom stall at work. And then about 20 minutes at the end of the day. I told them I had irritable bowel syndrome(ibs) I didn't care whether they disliked my long bathroom breaks are not haha...

    I feel like everyone around me is so stuck in life and I know the truth and I want everyone around me to be as happy as I am.. 

    Remember everyone else is you also.. there is only THIS and it's absolutely perfect, there's no need to try to fix anything. If they come to you help them... let it be natural.

    Within the Absolute there is the dreamers and there is the awakened but it's all happening within the Absolute...it's all within THIS...its perfection ❤

    Yes and if you just keep recognizing that there is nothing incomplete or lacking about THIS...

    Nothing to find nothing to seek it's already perfectly complete ❤

    A little trick:

    Every time your ego tries to make you believe that another moment will be better than THIS, simply ask your ego: "And Then What"?

    Continue asking your ego this every time. Eventually it sees that you're not buying into its games any longer. ❤

    @Consilience  The only deeper experience that I can imagine you are describing is Unknowing.

    When we label and put everything into boxes and act as if we know what it is, it takes the fun out of THIS.

    We don't really know what anything is, we just pretend that we do.

    There is really only THIS and it's always only been THIS, we just couldn't see clearly through our own fog.

    My belief is that further understanding than what I've already mentioned is unknowable.

    There is only THIS...

    What you are currently experiencing is all there is...

    Nothing matters because only mind creates matters.

    It is beautiful because it's perfect and it is what it is. Its full its complete it's not lacking in any way.

    Its THIS!!

    Two things:

    1) Recognize you are not the false self that is lacking.

    2) Recognize THIS is all there is... if you can find something outside of THIS let me know.

    It's time to get off the hamster wheel ❤

    I've come to realize I was seeking to complete something that was already fully complete. I was seeking within completeness for completeness.

    Realizing everything is already perfectly complete and calling off the search is Paradise.

    Constantly seeking and believing THIS is not complete and lacking something is hell.

    Identifying as the separate lacking self inside the body is the sickness and Samadhi is the cure.

    Knowing is an illusion. 

    Unknowing is THIS!!

    THIS is Enlightenment, Paradise, The Kingdom of Heaven ? ❤

    @VeganAwake 100% THIS IS IT. It really is it and it's amazing to rest here. 

    However, you will still have an 'ego' and a personality, hence I recommend everyone to find out their Enneagram types, it is so essential to know yourself on a human level. 

    I will always turn my head if someone says Charlie. 

    However, the knowing shifts, you know yourself to be The Big Self, living through this vessel so to speak. 

    And as you know that, you will still have feelings and thoughts and be able to interact with 'others' etc etc as if you were 'Charlie' in my case, but all the time knowing you are the Self, and that will forever change your life. 

    If anything I have become SO much more emotional since awakening, and as an Enneagram 7 a key part of my journey is learning to embrace the full spectrum of emotions. 

    Love always, Life is amazing :) 

    P.S. May sound stupid but even Juice WRLD's passing sent a surge of sadness through me and brought me to tears, before I would've simply rejected the emotion and pushed it away, now I LOVE feeling emotions, it's what makes us human!

    I understand what you are saying ❤

    It still sounds like you are trying to seek or promote seeking within THIS.

    What needs to be understood when THIS is all there is.

    This big self you know yourself as is still the illusion... see how tricky the mind is.

    Knowing is illusory, unknowing is the gate ❤

    All nonduality teachings are not the same... 

    You can explore everything we have discussed on this post for yourself.

    For example have you ever experienced anything other than THIS.

    Have you experienced the "ME" character created since birth is an illusion, and starts dissolving when closely looked at and questioned deeply. ❤

    @VeganAwake Just be careful, it sounds like you're doing great but it also sounds like your awakenings have a long way to go. 

    Saying there is no you, is technically true but is very common in early awakenings, and since you just had a session with Fred that makes PERFECT sense. 

    You're currently saying everything in a negative term subtly, there is no you, then what is everything?

    It's the same as non-duality 'Not Two' but you can't go around calling a Bannana a 'Non-Apple' do you get my point? 

    IT goes WAYYYY deeper than 'No You' and 'NoSelf' for example if there's no self what is behind all of this, well Ramana calls it THE Self (With a capital S), and then you kind of drop the no self notion and realize EVERYTHING is The Self, there is no you, but there's also No Other, No World, No Anything EXCEPT The Self. This realization also helps awaken love, as why would you want to hurt yourself? No Self is only the beginning, maybe your ready for the deepest teachings now such as that of Ramana and Nisgardatta. But, remember to add context as these are Eastern gurus, a key point MANY seekers forget. 

    By the way it sounds like you're doing amazing and had an awakening, but maybe Fred has given you all he can, as he's only in what I call the 600s, reading Ramana or Rupert Spira etc will give you a big shock, it did me as I was an Eckhart Tolle fanboy lol ;) 

    I understand what you are saying ❤

    I am referring to the separate lacking self that Oneness gets identified as which is the illusion within THIS.

    I understand everything you said about the Self is all there is... Unconditional Love.

    You see the belief that there is something outside of THIS that will complete you is the problem... this trap will keep you running on the hamster wheel forever... the illusory separate self never gets satisfied because you're perpetuating the belief that you are not already complete or whole.

    The constant seeking and belief you are not already complete is what causes the suffering and keeps the illusion of the separate self going.

    Here are the core staples to enlightenment:

    1) The recognition that THIS is all there is and it is perfection and unknowable.

    2) The Limited separate lacking self is an illusion and needs to be unraveled.

    Bingo ❤ Yahtzee ❤

    As long as the seeking continues you're perpetuating the illusion of incompleteness and lack.

    Here is the non-duel teaching that describes this: His name is Jim Newman ❤

    I often wonder what is the reason of my disatifaction with "This".. Its like somehow disappointing .. 

    It's because the ego construct feels separate and incomplete like it doesn't have a home and it's lacking something. That is the dream that is the illusion that is Maya.

    There is nothing to seek you are already 100% complete. THIS is perfection there is nothing that needs to be added or taken away.

    The only thing that needs to be recognized is that you are not a separate lacking human body/mind alone on a planet.

    You are the infinite experiencing itself through itself. ❤

    Indeed - there is no self to be enlightened.  God simply awakens to itself.   There is only a story of Osho being imagined by God - and God is fundamentally nothing.

    Yes the story of Osho is duality.  So collapsing the story leaves only isness or Being.  Being is true nature (formlessness).     One can say there never was a story of Osho and that that is illusion.  All form or imagination is illusion in the sense that it is intangible - you can't pin it down to anything.  Its fundamentally nothing.   All there is is imagination and imagination is nothing.

    Thereby - its just THIS!

    But note - it is through the story that God can know itself.

     Nice oneness ❤

    The expectation that something needs to be done is the dream itself and caused by knowing.

    The individual will never understand this concept.

    The separation never occurred nothing needs to happen... THIS is already perfection.

    Only a mind creates the illusion that something needs to happen or be attained for completeness or wholeness.

    The entire belief that there is a lacking separate self is the illusion is Maya is the dream ❤
