Can a human really know the whole truth about God and the universe? I think it's arrogant to think you know these things. According to many great teachers, we can know the manifested (Shakti) but not the unmanifested (Shiva).

Yea it seems like you had a glimpse of the oneness, but since you still have your ego/I-thought you felt like it was something bad. But it's not that everything is you, like from the perspective of your ego/I-thought. Everything is the Self, the absolute, it just is, and it is perfect, but everything is not you (the thinking human). So the evolved non-duality teachers won't have an ego like that, they will just feel like it's all the Self and there is nothing to say about it, it just is. It's a good thing, nothing to worry about. When I look at things I can see that it is the Self, it's like the objects are shining with this I-feeling, it's blissful, sometimes it feels a bit trippy but in a good way, I notice it especially when I go for walks and looking at a big building or the sky, it's so big and it's all the Self Some say that is why people are afraid of the dark, or the unknown, because they intuit that there is something big out there, they just can't see it, it's true but it's just the Self, it's good!

@mandyjw It can be difficult to understand what a spiritual transmission is if you haven't experienced it. It seems to me like this energetic shift you had, came from within yourself, and was triggered by something your teacher said. A spiritual transmission is an external energy that enters your body and assists you in some way, the energy is usually felt from the moment the teacher starts to send it. It is a real energy, and it can be very strong. Some teachers make sure that the students use grounding techniques before and after to avoid any unwanted physical and psychological symptoms. The aura of an evolved human can be so strong that people can't be in the same room. Maybe Phil is a great teacher, but if you want to compare his method with real spiritual transmissions, then you first have to experience both, and if you do and you can't sense the energy which happens for some people, then you still can't compare them because you wouldn't really know what it is.

@ValiantSalvatore Yes

Dan Winter's e-book, free to download on some of his websites. It's on another level, when the scientific world discovers and accepts his discoveries, society will change in many ways, healthcare, religions and spirituality, architecture, etc.

Like a blissful inner emptiness. Effortless inner silence. Perfectly content just being, not needing entertainment. Freedom.

Yes I had a shift like that once, but the memory of it is blurry. I went to a dimension on earth where the ET's had landed and were living with us humans. I remember walking around on the streets, and also visiting a spacecraft. The dimension you visited reminds me of how some people describe how the beginning process of the shift into the 5th dimension will be like. In this darkness, we are supposed to stay calm and heart-centered, it wont last forever but we have to avoid fear and focus on the things we want to experience, visualize something nice and then you will experience it. There are a lot of different ascension-theories, and some say it can happen in several different ways depending on the person. I don't know if this is relevant to your experience.

Yes I have noticed and felt something similar about truths. I have noticed that people usually cry when they feel sorry for themselves, but seeing a truth can also make them cry, it's a very different cause. I heard a spiritual teacher mention this about truths once, I think it was Teal Swan. I have never cried, that's because crying is basically like a skill, some people didn't learn to do this while growing up, so they never cry, but I can get a tear in my eye when a truth is revealed.

According to many channelings, God or Source were in a state of nothingness, it was just being. But then came the idea to experience something more than this being. So then the Mother and Father God were created from that source, and they created angelic creator gods that created more and so on. Go into a deep Samadhi meditation and see for yourself!

There are so many people who channel. Sometimes the UFO community speak with channelers, I remember watching some videos like that. But there are many other interesting sources of information, some are considered by the community to be more trustworthy than channeling. If you do some research you will see that the scientists at the frontier of understanding already knows how UFO spacecrafts works and are working on many interesting projects that will benefit mankind. People are busy, and channeling seems quite limited and not always trustworthy.

I recommend spiritual transmissions/shaktipat, especially if you can sense the energy, some people can. If you can't, then you can do things to improve your intuition and ability to sense energies, there are many courses and teachings online, some are for free. You can test this by watching a youtube video where a spiritual teacher sends shaktipat, so you don't have to spend any money on it, I recommend Siddhanta Yoga on youtube, her videos usually have a strong energy and her teachings are amazing. Other than that, I also recommend improving your intuition and following it, because it will guide you in the right direction. Don't underestimate it.

If the intuition comes from spirit, then you can trust it. If it comes from the mind, then it's not real intuition and you can't trust it. A true intuition feels peaceful and gentle, it never comes when one is stressful, it brings a feeling of clarity and love, and will most likely be confirmed by outer circumstances. Good luck!

He eats a little, but there are people who don't, I have met some of these breatharians/pranic living/yogis etc, and also learned a lot about it, some of them never eat, some never even drink. This pranic living thing has kept getting more popular since 2012, that's when some people started feeling an intuitive call to eat less or live completely on prana. I think it's a good thing as long as they stay healthy and follow their intuition.

Since it seems like you are not trolling I will answer There are two theories I know of that could give you that experience(maybe). One is to ascend into the 5th dimension (many spiritual teachers talk about how to do that), there you can create the world of Harry Potter, or join a similar world that someone else has created, and even limit your powers in that world temporarily so that you experience it like a 3d-world. The other is kind of complicated, but it has to do with Grace, a guy on this forum, "Synchronisity" I think his name is, talks about that, I have no idea if it works, but it seems to work in a similar way to people who are devoted Christians/jews/muslims etc, where sometimes God actually takes them to their desired paradise after death and they can live there forever and experience all their highest dreams.

Ramana Maharshi explained it differently. It seems like, to him, the Self or consciousness felt very real and profound, and the objects felt like something that exists only on the surface.

Yes! That is powerful. Hmm, the only time I feel acceptance and self-love is when I am being myself, open heart and not thinking much, being present in the moment, inner silence is like a gateway to that state for me, but I am not saying you are wrong about thoughts because I do not know. Also, my spiritual path, which is very unique, has given me special powers which are only usable when I have inner silence. And I know many spiritual paths value inner silence highly, some use it to empower certain practices, some just rest in it and recharge and heal.

So we can improve our prana by putting thought into emotion? Can you give an example of how to do this? When you use the word "thought" here, do you mean like a word-thought that we hear in our mind like a sound? Or more like a silent idea? Visualization/imagination? Or something else, or all of those?

Interesting! Is lifeforce the same thing as prana/qi? Is being alone too much bad, because then we don't get enough lifeforce? This state with no thoughts (inner silence), I don't think that it disconnects us from consciousness like you say, the ego resists it, because thinking is an addiction, once it's gone there is a great joy and love in that state, and one gets stronger intuition. Yogis go into deep, no-thought states, Samadhi, I read that it is one of the reasons why some yogis lived for hundreds of years. This is what I believe, but I try to not close my mind to new ideas, maybe thoughts are more important than I believe.

Yes! In some yogic teachings it says that finding one's true teacher is the greatest joy. The teacher will be a great blessing for the student, but it can also be rare for the teacher to find a true student, so both can feel a great joy and love when they meet, and there is a soul connection because they agreed to meet before incarnating. Our intuition will guide us to our beloved teacher/guru.

Basically kinesiology. But they also use intuition and asks questions. What about the people who became enlightened and are now enjoying their lives thanks to the RASA? Or does only your experience matter? There are many examples of things that works for some people and not for others, is it right to judge those things based on only 1 person's experience? And who knows what would have happened if you kept getting rasa and followed those teachings? Can you be 100% certain?

Yes We are all in it together, everyone has something to work on, except for maybe some highly evolved yogi who has become completely free from inner distortions, but they must have worked hard for it. My favorite technique for shadow work is to be in complete inner silence, no thoughts, perfect oneness, but I still have some addiction to thinking so it's not always easy to do that.

@The0Self I think the most conscious humans are very intuitive, able to meditate without thoughts, free from inner distortions like addictions, anger issues, etc. Have a strong energy/aura that other people can sense. Live in a simple and grounded way. If they are teaching, then they only have a few students and give them personal guidance, and usually work with some type of shaktipat. They also probably have siddhis/psychic abilities because that happens when you evolve to a certain level. Benthino does not seem to be very conscious or evolved. I remember googling him before and there is a lot of drama surrounding him, and I think he even admitted to being a narcissist. But I'm sure he has some good teachings that can help people, I did learn some thing from watching his videos before.

Not everyone has the feeling of existing in the head, behind the eyes. That feeling actually disappears for good after a non-duality type of awakening. That feeling is created by the ego/I-thought, it's a distortion. Because the watcher/the knower/awareness is the Self, and the brain, thoughts, etc are a manifestation of the Self.

@blackchair@BipolarGrowth Nice! One of Lucifer's human incarnations was my dad in a past life, he was a good guy. And he did have some great superpowers/siddhis, I got nothing bad to say about him. For anyone who wants a non-duality perspective of Lucifer check out Pamela Aaralyn's channeling of Lucifer, I thought it was very interesting and fun to listen to : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXcMlGWmSPw

Ramana Maharshi said "The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single though are the measure to gauge spiritual progress." Because when the I-thought is gone, there is no more addiction to thinking, one can meditate without thoughts effortlessly.
