So true. Simply put...we’re in a dream. One that never ends...ever.

@Eternal Unity so true! I guess one would only want to escape if they thought it was actually real in the first place lol. Mankind has been the biggest fools in this regard, me included. It just feels so real...

After a week of intense meditation, I’ve finally grasps what it truly means to be immortal. Through direct consciousness, I realized that the “I” deemed as Self is not located anywhere in my present experience. Therefore, whatever happens to the body that appears in my consciousness is a happening that applies to the body, and not the “I” that is my True Self. That includes death and injury. This not only applies to physical phenomenon but also mental and emotional...the thoughts and feelings are just appearances in consciousness and not personal to the “I” that is True Self. Everything is simply being witnessed by a Being that can’t be pointed to...that being is us! Not being located in time and space truly feels like bliss/heaven! This is a fresh insight that I will have to deepen..but had to get the excitement out in some kind of way. We cannot lose our existence...because existence is infinite. We are existence...we are immortal.

Thank you all for the feedback. An even deeper realization is one of an infinite dream state. Awakening is not waking up from the dream, but waking up to the dream. We are forever in this thing...no escape in sight

FOMO = Fear of Missing Out https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-cope-with-fomo-4174664 This struck me while contemplating, much suffering is caused by resistance to the present moment. As I get deeper into spiritual practice, I become more conscious that the now is all there is, and all that there will ever be. I am also able to reflect on some of my darkest moments in, full of deep suffering, was simply caused by wishing life's circumstances were different, including wishing that I didn't wish things were different. It's amazing how many neurotic habits develop from FOMO (addiction, relationship problems, self esteem issues, etc) When we learn to accept what is, we find a tunnel of light that just may allow us to abandon thoughts of the future and the past - to really become grounded in present moment consciousness. I hope others can relate, and maybe share tips on how they overcame their own struggle with FOMO.

@RMQualtrough so true - one of the main feelings for guilt and regret which add on to misery.

@Max Green good point- thanks Max

Some historical context of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians..tied in with spiral dynamics, collective ego, ideology, epistemology, metaphysics, systems thinking, conscious politics, spirituality/awakening.

This would be a part 2 to Leo’s video that was released five years ago: ‘Using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to Self Actualize’. The premise of the video would be to stress the importance of mastering survival, as awakening builds on top of it. I think Maslow’s hierarchy of needs would be a good conceptual framework to reference as a path to reach awakening..one must work their way all the way up to the Self Actualizing stage to ultimately go further into Self-Transcendence/God Realization. Covering the traps of each stage would be helpful to many.

Posting a few reflections from my self inquiry today. My Self realization is deepening everyday. I had reflected on the problem of identity; it’s one step to realize that ones life is imaginary, but even tougher to deeply understand the one who’s having the experience of imagination. How can one understand something that is invisible? The best method, for me, has been to identify with literally everything in existence. God’s consciousness is creating my mind, body and it’s present experience...as well as yours. We are this Being with infinite capacity to imagine anything. Therefore we are not separate in our identities, no matter where we are in time and space. Very profound..

Quite the contrary my friend, I am not threatened by you...you are me, and I am you . I am simply uninterested in debating and pure philosophy. Truth is cold in a sense where it's either you get it or you don't. Your need to go back and forth clearly illustrates your resistance to realizing how Powerful you are as God. Nothing I say to you will change this fundamental fact, your Ego wants to cloud it through debating. I will not give you that luxury...as I would be doing a dis-service to you. I guess my only advice is to not over-mystify things on your journey, who you are is the one manifesting all elements of your present reality. It's a hard pill to swallow for the Ego, but a joyful one once you relinquish your attachment to your body and thoughts. Best of luck

Why would I not know what Consciousness is doing when I am Consciousness? ?. Full minds are definitely hard to change...that includes yours. As I told Kalo, pull your head out of your ass and your journey will get easier..I promise. I’m not responding anymore to your closed mind, I’m not interested in debating. Just sharing my insights. Take care.

I can tell from this statement that you are attached to human existence. Again this is a defense mechanism of your Ego. God consciousness means you value ALL of existence. Not just humans. You calling it a “complex” and claiming a need for humility is again resistance to Truth. It’s quite laughable that you say “do not fantasize”. All God does is fantasize haha. Forever. You are fantasizing this interaction right now! Look around you...you are literally the Creator of Existence, including all of your friends, family and me as well. You are the Creator of your enemies..people who have hurt you in your life. You are the Creator of all animals, physical Earth as you know it. Why do insist on resisting this? Scary right? You will continue to Create for eternity. Whether you accept it or not.

@Dodo I’d like to hone in your statement: “Notice you are masking separation as unity in. You are talking to me as if I’m separate and that I’m not getting something, because you unconsciously perceive me as someone else”. This is an assumption on your part. My (consciousness (as God) is rendering the present moment of forum member @Terell Kirby & @Dodo. Hell it’s even rendering the present moment of the oh so deluded Kalo. Recognize that you are this same consciousness. Kalo is this same consciousness. There is no implied separation. All I hear is resistance to this Truth, and that’s nothing but the Ego playing tricks, use language and monologues to cause confusion. Be careful to not project and let fear control you.

@Dodo you are also under the same delusion. You are refusing to accept your true nature as God, you are All Powerful. Wherever you are, look around and notice that everything is a creation of your divine consciousness...or mind rather. Including your body and your thoughts....everything. Godspeed ??

@Kalo blah blah blah. I know you are full of shit lol. For a newbie, I sure as hell have way more insights than you do that’s for sure. Trolling on forums won’t bring you any closer to your true Self. You will get no more attention from me.

@Roy it's kind of my style champ . Your definition of what emotional maturity is yours and yours only! Ultimately, no one cares.

Idiot.

What a dummy. Only an ass who never meditates or take these insights seriously would say such a thing

@Kalo <------ most deluded forum member I've interacted with thus far . Good luck your with spiritual endeavors, but try pulling your head out of your ass first...it'll help with the journey. Godspeed

If God is the one you pray to...then who are you exactly? Be careful with your answer, as it may imply separation from God...which in of itself is Ego. Implying the God resides in your heart speaks clearly to your identification with your physical form. God can never reside IN YOU...there is no YOU to reside in. It is clear you still have attachments to the material world, and not willing to take on responsibility that comes with accepting your true nature. Calling Truth narcissism is exactly what a narcassistic Ego-mind would project out of fear..

Again, the realization is not a belief system. It is an assumption that this realization has come from some kind of group think or following and ideology. That is not the case...it would be if I were coming at this from an Ego. My coming at this is from the later, the knowingness beyond and completely independent from human construction. The problem for some members of this forum is exactly what you point out in falling into the Actualized.org collective belief that they are God (which is not pure because it lacks heavy lifting required to have the direct experiences), or completely dismissing that the experience of knowingness is possible for them. I personally have transcended both..

@VeganAwake Quite the opposite. Bet on that ?. I’m not here to debate any of you. What better way for your Ego to trick you by calling Truth falsehood. Most of you are too fearful to acknowledge that you are God because it then requires you to take full responsibility for everything that exists in your lives. Your problems, fear, neurosis. I understand that this is a scary thing for most people, but the Truth is Truth no matter how you cut it. I really don’t understand why you follow Actualized.org if you haven’t accepted this ?. The fact that you are God is not a belief, it is Truth. Anything other that is your Ego playing mind games by deluding by keeping you paradigm locked. Expect no more responses from me, and good luck on your journey ??.

To disagree that you are God is to side with the Ego. You must understand that the Divine Person with a capital P is none other than....YOU. To say it isn’t signifies a lack of understanding. But I am interested to hear what you believe your true nature is....if it’s anything other than than Essence itself ?

Thank you! Godspeed ??
