You are a human but your higher self is something that can't be described, because as a human there is a limit to how much you can know and understand, so the answer is silence. In self inquiry after asking who am I? The answer is inner silence.

Not everyone. Some people have no reason, they just do it because it's who they are, we should be true to ourselves. What does your intuition and feeling tell you to do?

They do believe in LOA, maybe you misunderstood, maybe it was about non-doership, the small "I" thinking it can manifest things when it's actually the big "I" doing it.

Yes I think you are right. And imagine what happens when all inner distortions gets cleansed: People at that level always have a powerful energy/aura. Meditate without any thoughts and feel the energy and bliss! If the ego is still alive it will disturb you and resist it

@Leo Gura Maybe that is how it used to be, but things are changing now. My teacher give us these shaktipat meditations every week, the new one is always more powerful than the previous one, the energy on the planet allows for more and more powerful shaktipat energy to come through, helping us reach our highest potential.

Anyone who can communicate with spirit will get this kind of information. So this belief in starseeds is shared by some shamans, Buddhists, witches, native Americans etc, not just new age people. I think some of it is real, but I don't really trust channeled information. Reality may be infinite like some of you wrote, but everything doesn't exist in this dimension/reality, there may be vampires and unicorns but they exist in other universes/dimensions/realities.

Maybe that's true for some people but I know those two haven't "become what they are fighting against". They have done their research and chosen the best of two bad options. Both of them are intelligent, especially Ramaji. It's not that they don't understand Trumps flaws which some of you think is the case, they simply have good reasons to think it's the best option. So my point is that we shouldn't judge them or think we know better, if you had done the same research maybe you would share their opinion or be uncertain what the best choice is

Good! I like your attitude. Yes he may be a narcissist, and many spiritual people knows this and they hate the fact that both options are bad, but they still choose to vote for him, they have such a distrust of the media and the establishment. Btw narcissism does not mean for sure that he is evil does it? I actually have a friend who is a narcissist and he has never hurt me in any way

I don't know but I get the feeling that Trump is a better person than Biden. I'm sorry if that upsets you. What is your opinion on Biden? Do you feel he is a good person? Do you get an intuition about it? So you think the reason Ananda and Ramaji votes for Trump is because they hate themselves? I know them well enough to know that's not true.

I explained why spiritual people vote for Trump, do you have a different theory? No need to make fun of each other or get upset, I even wrote that I don't know what the truth is so no one would be upset

Many spiritual people vote for Trump. He may have flaws but at least he has a soul and he is fighting against the establishment. People feel that it's a choice between voting for someone who have flaws but wants the best for his country vs vote for some corrupt evil. I don't know what the truth is but my teacher also say that Trump has to win, that's coming from his intuition and not from some conspiracy theory.

I recommend SIDDHA PARAM-PARA by Jivanmukti, because the book is alive with energy and has very advanced information about many topics. You could check out her youtube videos to see if you can feel the energy, if not then maybe develop your sensitivity/intuition and return later. It's the only book I know of that is alive and magical, but there are many other good books of course.

I agree and I like your answer as well. Happy to see there are some sensible and like-minded people here!

Yes it's a good question. If there is a divine being you feel close to, and you begin to connect and get to know this being, it may help you a lot. I have a relationship like that with a Goddess, it's truly wonderful, I'm so happy she helps me! When you reach a really high level and the prana feeds you and you have everything you want, then maybe you don't need to ask the divine beings for assistance, but who is at that level? I know 3 teachers who appear to be at that level, but they know about the occult and how powerful it is, both the darkness and the light.

I think a true guru should have a powerful energy/aura that we can feel. If they are like a normal person then I don't trust them. Aura/energy is a sign of progress, it doesn't lie.

I read a book about intuition. The experts who were interviewed very rarely received strong intuitions. And for example when Dalai Lama gets an intuition he doesn't just act on it, he also asks other people and consults his oracle. I only know one person who has a strong enough intuition to be able to follow it always, and he is basically an enlightened avatar with insane powers. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's probably a good idea to do what Waken wrote and follow your joy, try to find out what job and lifestyle would work for you.

I will answer to see what my understanding is: If a human thinks he is a human, he is right, it's a natural silent knowing. However, if a thought appears in the mind of this human that begins to pretend that it is the human, then a duality is created. Before, the human would feel connected with everything else, but after the arising of this thought the human would feel that he is only a human and everything else is other. The I-thought is like a spider web of thoughts, identity, concepts etc that keeps the human from seeing/feeling clearly. It's not that you are supposed to lose all identity and think that you are nothing, just look beyond the spider web with inner silence and you may eventually see the truth, your natural identity as a human is an impersonal thing appearing in awareness.

It's rare to find a good teacher. It's rare for a good teacher to find a good student. When you meet your destined teacher it will feel incredible, very joyful, and you will evolve quickly with his/her grace.

@LfcCharlie4 I agree! Do you basically always have inner silence? And when you do things it's from your intuition/instinct/feeling instead of the mind/thoughts? My teacher is helping us get to that state of being, he says at some point we will get there and there will be no going back, so I want to learn more about it What is your opinion about thoughts?

Yes the education may not give you everything you need to help your patients well. However, if you are passionate about psychology you can always learn more on your own, the education will help you get a job so it's still worth a lot.

Yes maybe. But we don't need to label it or speculate about it, it is whatever it is. The scientists will find their answers, the non-dualists will have theirs, maybe they will eventually be the same, we will see

Wow that was interesting to read, thanks for sharing! It feels like maybe his ego/I-thought is still alive, and he is still seeking, he hasn't found it yet. However, I don't know because there are reasons to think he may be correct: My teacher is like an avatar, he was born enlightened, has never taken drugs, and can enter a state where he is aware of everything in the universe. He spent 6 months in that state and said that it felt very lonely, so he went back to being more normal and not knowing everything in that way. The new-agers sometimes talk about that some of us, the old souls, the starseeds, are basically bored light-beings who chose to incarnate here, even though things are kind of crazy here on earth, because sometimes this is more fun than being in that higher dimension where everything is love all the time. Sometimes when I look at people who are not spiritually awake or enlightened but just awesome, happy people, I feel that they are still very enlightened and perfect in a way, perhaps more than some more awake people. However I do think there are states of enlightenment that some yogis have attained that feels good and perfect for hundreds of years, maybe even forever.

Someone asks a concrete question and he gets these philosophical answers, it seems like the intention is to make him quit focusing on worldy events and focus on non-duality instead. If everyone had that attitude society would not have evolved much We can speculate and use the mind and still be connected to the Self.

My teacher says some type of shift and cleansing is going to happen this year. Some new agers also believe it will happen this year by the end of December, a solar flash that creates a global awakening.

Why is your definition of enlightenment and spiritual teachings better than the yogic teachings or new-age or Buddhism? If a normal person listened to you for 10 minutes, really understood it and their mind stopped believing in the false character. 1 hour later they create their own Ashram and begin working as a spiritual teacher, would that seem sane to you? Or do you think that maybe there is more to spiritual growth, like clearing out emotional distortions, becoming more balanced and free, having the kundalini awakening etc?
