You transcended the duality of distinct sentences. Now it's all one. Btw, great insights @Atb210201 ?

Before starting the Awakening path: fake knowing Once on the path: not knowing Upon Awakening: Omniscience

@RMQualtrough Exactly. That's how I see it too.

His definition of these terms is very different from Jhana terminology haha. God Consciousness is far beyond all Jhanas.

When you are God-conscious it makes no sense to read or learn. In that state, reading a book about enlightenment is the exact same as visualising a unicorn. That book has no more value for understanding Reality than that unicorn.

That circle analogy is really good

Yes that's possible. Or you might just have gotten a brain chemistry that is good for sleep yoga, due to some other reasons. Anyway, you are quite lucky I guess the best technique for sleep yoga for you is the normal WILD/astral projection technique. Rather than the one I've been posting about.

Nothingness = Consciousness. You can be formless Nothingness, without any imaginations (your room, body sensations, thoughts...) and still be conscious. Cessation or unconsciousness doesn't exist, since Reality is Consciousness.

The bridge is Imagination.

@Gianna If you sleep less and are not more tired, you probably don't need as much sleep anymore. You are very naturally talented for sleep yoga. I've been practicing that for almost a year and you are far better at it without trying lol. I recommend you look into sleep yoga, you are probably able to quickly master it, then all your dreams are lucid, and so much more.

Life doesn't depend on a 6 chakra body. God can just as well imagine being in a vivid VR world. Actually the only difference between "real life" and "VR world" is your belief. If you belief this right now is real life, then this is as much real life as it gets. If you belief this is VR, then this right now is as much VR as it gets. And if you belief you are a pig, you are a pig (regardless of how you look). More so than an 'actual' pig that beliefs it's a human.

God

God is Reality. God has perfect Self-understanding.

@impulse9 You keep mentioning that, but you never really described that trip. Mind sharing?

The one who is scared of that is the ego. But that ego will not experience all of that. It is God who goes through all of that. God is selfless and Love and has no problem experiencing all of that.

Hallucinations on LSD are not more hallucinatory than your hands right now. You can wake up without psychedelics, but it is a lot harder, and you will never get as deep as you could if you did the psychedelic path (except if you master sleep yoga). I think the practices that led to my awakenings were Transmissions , self inquiry, low brainwave practices (like sleep yoga and trance work), and invoking angels. Kundalini yoga helped but wasn't a crucial part. I think the most basic practices for waking up without psychedelics are transmissions and self inquiry. Just with these two, I think it's possible to wake up to God/Love/... but you will never get as deep as you could with psychedelics. Invoking angels has a very similar effect as transmissions to me, so I don't think it's necessary, but it is more powerful than transmissions. Once you can easily feel the energy of transmissions, you can start invoking angels if you want. And a practice that lowers brainwaves is very helpful. And if you master sleep yoga, then that might be all you need. I believe sleep yoga is the only tool that is competitive with psychedelics. The disadvantage is that it is very difficult to master. But once mastered you made it. I believe, if you are a master at lucid dreaming (which you will quickly become if you mastered sleep yoga) you can induce any state of consciousness which you can reach with 5meo. that depends on you. Certainly not. Your state of consciousness changes all the time. Actually your state of consciousness is slightly different every second. If you get stabbed, there will be a lot of pain. But the pain is not felt by the body. In the same way as a chair is not seen by the body. These are all sensations floating around, beside each other, on the same level. The pain has nothing to do with the wound of your body, no correlation whatsoever. But it will certainly seem like the body feels the pain. That is an additional imagination just like the thought that says that the eyes see a chair. So in a sense you could say it doesn't matter whether the body actually feels pain or whether there is just the illusion that the body feels pain, for you it's the same. But I find being conscious of that can help when dealing with pain. that depends on you. From the relative perspective, you will probably lose consciousness similar as deep sleep. And then get to some kind of afterlife. And then reincarnate again.

Haha yes kind of Yes. Is that question related to everything being your imagination? If so, I don't understand the question. There are many ways to raise your consciousness. From the absolute perspective, there is no raising consciousness. Is he trying to say that you can't change your state of consciousness? You obviously can. During a proper trip your are no longer human. The more gradually you do it the less scary. But no mather how gradual you do it, it will still be insanely mindfuckery, because it's just sooo radical and sooo different from how you think reality is. You basically need to give up everything. And this includes far more than you realize. But once you managed to fully surrender (which likely takes years, as you gradually surrender more and more illusions, and keep making sense and processing all that stuff), it becomes Infinitely Good, because God is Infinite Love It's not just about managing to reach these states of consciousness, but also about maturing up to them. If you could get to such a high state with one finger snap, 99.9% of spiritual people wouldn't do it, even if that state is already after ego death and is Infinite Love. Because it's just so crazy radical. And most people don't want that, even if it means to literally become Love. Just try to do it gradually, only go as far as you are comfortable, try to give up everything, more than merely your life, and know that Infinite Love is the Truth. And btw every suffering is imaginary. Your body mind never suffers. Suffering or pain is an imagination that floats around. It's an appearance beside the appearance of the body mind. The body doesn't have that experience, a body can't feel pain, nor emotions. There is just an additional imagination, the imagination that the body experiences the suffering. The only one who suffers, you could say is God, but God doesn't suffer because God is selfless and unbiased and Love. All illusions will die. And there are far more than one assumes lol. The illusions enable separation, therefore it will probably feel like dying. The more sudden the shift in consciousness, the more it will feel like dying. If it's gradual, it's a lot less scary.

I've done 2 retreats, around 2 weeks each, with around 10 hours each day. But after finishing school 2 years ago, I've been doing that stuff more or less full time. Though I spent more time researching, contemplating and processing than actual practice. Overall I've spent around 5000 hours of practice (over the past 3 years), and a lot of it doing stupid practice like OBE visualisations My current practices are sleep yoga (including concentration practices), invoking spirits, receiving transmissions, and abiding in God Consciousness meditation. On good days I practice 6-8 hours, on bad days 1-3. And additionally sleep yoga.

Depends on how you look at it but yeah I think you are right. I definitely agree that the best definition of enlightenment is: enlightenment=God. But while in God Consciousness it also kinda doesn't make sense to call it enlightenment. It just seems so beyond enlightenment. Maybe that's just because of the baggage the word enlightenment has, from how 99% of spiritual people define it. I prefer the term awakening a lot more. Although that term still has some sutble illusions implying, which are gone when in God Consciousness.

No. But there is always more work to do. Just saying it might be more fruitful than discussing the same stuff over again. I should do the work too. Need to do some concentration practices for sleep yoga but I keep trying to find excuses

@WokeBloke The dream doesn't become more real by making more threads about it It's time to do the work my friend

You can believe Leo's radical insights but can't believe that transmissions work? It doesn't matter much whether you believe in them. Important is your openness, receptivity and sensitivity. And also the advancement of your energetic system.

Everything is Imagination. But don't forget: Imagination = Nothingness = Consciousness = Love = God = Oneness = Infinity

Good idea. Been posting way too much today anyway lol. Yes, the mystery never ends. Awakening goes infinitely deep.

I don't think I have any other recommendations apart from what is in the sleep yoga thread. Why don't they resonate? do you think they are woo woo and don't work?
