Waken

@LfcCharlie4 Interesting links you posted earlier. I've read them both. For myself I had the sense that he might miss a little bit of nuance or a complete understanding, but that was just an idea I got, who knows, good read anyway. Just wanted to say thanks lol

@pluto Hello, 2 questions for you. you say that darryl is channeling his higher mind, why? Why not say he's channeling Bashar? I get that Bashar is quite attuned to his higher mind himself, but I don't see that has anything to do with Darryl. Something else related I haven't understood yet, is that Bashar or Daryl sometimes tells people that they are talking with their (own?) higher mind, and just using bashar or daryl as a permission slip to do so. How are people talking with their own higher mind when they talk to daryl/bashar? Doesn't every consciousness have its own higher mind? Thank you, ps have been watching some posts of you lately, I love it, it resonates

I don't get why it's a problem for you (not ment as judgement). Are you having judgements about them or is it something else? I must say for myself I don't like to much contact with others who are very differently orientated. Like someone who is very materialistic, I can be nice to them and chat with them for a while, but I rather be alone and don't feel a need to deepen the contact there. You say you like to have contact once in a while and not be alone always. Yea same, but I don't get fulfilled by contact with someone who doesn't share my same interests and understandings etc, because I can't share my excitement with them. So perhaps what you're looking for isn't contact with people that don't resonate with you, but with finding people who are likeminded? The latter is hard, for me anyway, haven't found anyone in the years I do this work

Are you reading a book that actually interests you? It's hard or perhaps impossible to not remember anything when you're excited about what you're reading. For me not knowing what I've read only happens when I push myself to read something which I don't naturally want to do. I don't think you'll experience much distraction in reading or whatever when you do what you love. Maybe there could also be usefulness in learning to do things that you rather don't, but I have no mastery or tips with that lol

I loved the dedication of Om Swami in that book. Of course however, please don't think that meditation is the only way to do this awakening thing just because it was his way

I've read his book too, it's really an amazing and beautiful book. It's a bit of a pity that you can't talk about these things with most people. I tried it a couple of times with some family but I just get these looks like the book is crazy, and me too for saying I find it beautiful. Personally I would rather have the book a little less written like a scientific report, and be a more of a light read, but that's just my preference. Thank you for linking the video's, I never watched much of them, but perhaps I will:-)

I just hoped that putting 'channeled entity' in the title would get it more clicks But it's true nonetheless. Here is a list of books recommended by Bashar, who is a channeled being/entity speaking through a guy named Daryl. https://www.facebook.com/groups/82990426678/permalink/10157876773356679/ Insofar I haven't read all the books on the list yet, only Conversations with God and am busy with the Ringing Cedars series. Conversations with God I still hold as the most wholistic books I've ever read, but the Ringing Cedars series has so far amazed me a lot. I'm in book 2 and just felt strongly to share it with others. The books are beautiful, very easy and fun to read and although they don't perhaps aim to give such a wholistic picture on how to live life like Conversations with God, they show a glimpse into the life of amongst other a women called Anastasia. She is an amazing hermit who grew up in a forest in (I think) Russia. She has incredible abilities and has an amazing connection to nature. The book will likely expand your notions of what is possible and what goes on in life and perhaps instill you with some nice thoughts.

Good to see some Bashar in here

Will you say this too when someone mistreats you? Will you look within and try to avoid projecting, or will you want to correct the mistreatment? Is a child that is undergoing abuse just needing to look within? Sadhguru sometimes says something like 'when your life is going nice it's easy to say that it's all perfect, and someone else's problems are the divine plan. Until life hits you, and your philosophies fly out the window'

You said 'but it still doesn't feel like it', but what you feel can be a result of what you think, so don't blindly go with that. Just some cents I wanted to throw in the basket

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a video where a guy called Daryl Anka is channeling a being that named himself Bashar. In the Actualized 'database' I saw he was already mentioned once years ago, but without much attention, therefore I wanted to reintroduce him. Apparently he comes from a different civilization which is both technologically and spiritually, very advanced. His teachings are profound, and already changed my perspective on various things, while I don't know him for a long time. I just found this website that gives (some) of his core teachings: https://iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/. The website does not look very nice lol, but then you can get a sense where his teachings are about. There are a lot of his videos, small sections/snipits can be found on youtube, or buy full 'sessions' via his website https://www.basharstore.com/ (or download using pirate bay), which I would recommend if you want to explore him. He has various techniques that he gives, I think you can only find those in his full 'session' videos. Furthermore, he has some very nice 'meditations' (you can always look for 'bashar holotope' on youtube for a preview). Warning. When I saw a video of him first, a saw a guy in a flowery Hawai shirt, the guy speaking weirdly like he was trying to imitate a robot and there were these glowing spheres next to him. This gave me a sense of 'fakeness' in the very beginning, however if you just watch for a while, you'll see it's all very good stuff. He is a true treasure with gems:-)

@Zigzag Idiot You're very welcome, thank you too. Really glad I discovered that, brings quite a new paradigm with it doesn't it. I "need" to finish some essays this period, but I rather watch his video's all day now lol. @pluto thank you, will check out that video too

Wow, great women! Some good wisdom there:)

Matt Khan is great. Discovered him some months ago when my mind was producing a lot of frustration and suffering and was just in tears in bed because of it. Then a thought about watching Matt Khan came, of who I only heard or saw something faintly before. His perspective was good for me, I like his heart-centered approach a lot, which helped me to release the more dismissive spiritual approach. Nice share!

@pluto @SoonHei Yes it's a goldmine:D Thank you

Awesome. His work, or rather exploration really resonates for me. Did some lsd trips myself after hearing him, and got similar patters/cycles as he described as with his cycles through rebirth-cosmic union- x -x, which was really cool. Excited to read his book, thank you:)

A couple weeks ago I wanted to look for HoloTROPIC breathwork. But entered the title wrongly and found holoGRAPHIC breathing instead. Here is the video: If I remember properly: He had lyme's disease and found a way of breathing to heal his brain. When he healed his brain further he noticed his jaw began to move with his breathing. He said (I think) that this helped him to awaken/enlighten because with this breathing he was able to get the energy to the brain. He found that babies, when they get breastfeading breath this way. I've done this breathing for 2/3 weeks now at times, with good results. To me, the breathing done correctly can take you in quite a deep or profound space which feels blissful and healing. It's easy to do, and can be incorporated into meditation, walking, etc. Doing the technique subtly, gently and correctly is what will make it more profound.

I'm a bit of a Conversations with God book nut. In those books it's explained that affirmations don't really work well when you don't believe in them. Take something you do or can believe and affirm that. For instance if you're in a rut, don't say "I'm in excellent health" because your mind knows that's a lie. Instead you might feel the following is true, which would work better: "I'm becoming healthier every day"

Maybe this helps. In the book Conversations with God part 2, there is a part about real and false feelings. Real feelings here are 'the language of the soul', can be trusted and represent what's true for you. False feelings are 'thoughts masquerading as feelings'. Copied part from Conversations with God. You can find more context if you search for it online: You have all said things—ugly things—only to discover that, once having been said, they no longer feel “true.” You have all expressed feelings—from fear to anger to rage—only to discover that, once having been expressed, they no longer reveal how you really feel. In this way, feelings can be tricky. Feelings are the language of the soul, but you must make sure you are listening to your true feelings and not some counterfeit model constructed in your mind. Oh, man, so now I can’t even trust my feelings. Great! I thought that was the way to truth! I thought that was what You were teaching me. It is. I am. But listen, because it is more complex than you now understand. Some feelings are true feelings—that is, feelings born in the soul—and some feelings are counterfeit feelings. These are constructed in your mind. In other words, they are not “feelings” at all—they are thoughts. Thoughts masquerading as feelings. These thoughts are based on your previous experience and on the observed experience of others. You see someone grimace when having a tooth pulled, you grimace when having your tooth pulled. It may not even hurt, but you grimace anyway. Your reaction has nothing to do with reality, only how you perceive reality, based on the experience of others or on something that’s happened to you in the past. The greatest challenge as human beings is to Be Here Now, to stop making things up! Stop creating thoughts about a pre-sent moment (a moment you “sent” yourself before you had a thought about it). Be in the moment. Remember, you sent your Self this moment as a gift. The moment contained the seed of a tremendous truth. It is a truth you wished to remember. Yet when the moment arrived, you immediately began constructing thoughts about it. Instead of being in the moment, you stood outside the moment and judged it. Then you re-acted. That is, you acted as you did once before.

Could you explain what you got out specifically out of doing each of the techniques, and how long you did them for? I'd appreciate it much

Well done, I know how scary that can be :-)

I resonate with that too. I've never been very fond of using my intellect, although I've always sort of forced using it because I thought that that was 'the way'. At some points, when doing magic mushrooms especially, the questions that I tried to solve seemed so silly, like focusing on some utterly unimportant technical details that have only relevance in language. The frustration got so intense that it sort of exploded and there was a sense of intellectual burn-out for I think longer than a year. However often I find that sometimes I try to do this intellectual thing still, because somewhere perhaps I feel I would miss out. However a lot of the intellectualism on this forum feels uncomfortable and too effortful for me to do. I've started doing my own thing over the last years, and more and more it's becoming an unique process. Here and there I pick things from teachers and use the teachings in my own way. It's not always successful or effective, but what the heck. I have the feeling that you can find your own path and techniques, which are just perfect for you. In 'Conversations with God' there is this: What is the true path to God? Is it through renunciation, as some yogis believe? And what of this thing called suffering? Is suffering and service the path to God as many ascetics say? Do we earn our way to heaven by “being good,” as so many religions teach? Or are we free to act as we wish, violate or ignore any rule, set aside any traditional teachings, dive into any self-indulgences, and thus find Nirvana, as many New Agers say? Which is it? Strict moral standards, or do- as-you-please? Which is it? Traditional values, or make-it- up-as-you-go-along? Which is it? The Ten Commandments, or the Seven Steps to Enlightenment? You have a great need to have it be one way or the other, don’t you… Could it not be all of these? I don’t know. I’m asking You. I will answer you, then, as you can best understand—though I tell you now that your answer is within. I say this to all people who hear My words and seek My Truth. Every heart which earnestly asks, Which is the path to God? is shown. Each is given a heartfelt Truth. Come to Me along the path of your heart, not through a journey of your mind. You will never find Me in your mind. In order to truly know God, you have to be out of your mind.

Not much happiness here, life still sucks lol. There is a bigger sense of expansion, emptiness and tranquility or contentment though and have been on it for about 5 years.

Thank you for that. How long did it take you?

Nice, thank you. Some days ago I came up with 'I just let it all flow', because I was holding back some emotions, and this statement says that all fears and all can flow through. This is a powerful one too. Again thank you for your post, gave me a new small little insight Much love
