  1. That's awesome and I wish I had that ability too, but it kind of feels like you are just speaking to your own mind. Like when she said "keep following actualized.org", could she have recommended something that you have never heard about? What if you asked "help me invent something new that will aid humanity"?
  2. @Consilience Yes exactly. And it creates all our addictions, including the addiction to thinking. So when the I-thought is gone for real, we can meditate without thoughts effortlessly. Ramana Maharshi said: "When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation." "The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress."
  3. That is an interesting perspective! Unique. The most close and similar to that I have seen, is from a channeling of Kali when she started talking about that everything is a dream and that the now is all there is, something like that.
  4. It's easier to trust when we have a teacher. Someone who radiates grace and energy. When you find your true teacher, it will be the best feeling ever, and you will know that everything will be okay. But your teacher has to be the real deal, don't give your power away to anyone, a true teacher will give you everything.
  5. The energy was strong but the effect was subtle. It's only later that we began to feel the effects of it, after many hours with different transmissions. We all have a higher self, a divine being from a higher dimension with a unique personality and energy, that's where our soul comes from, and it's a different thing from the higher self that non-duality teachers talk about, they refer to awareness/consciousness or in some cases the "I am presence" or the absolute/god. What fascinates me about spiritual transmissions/shaktipat is that it has the potential to bring the higher self into your body, ideally permanently but even just a short moment is amazing. When his or her personality and energy enters your body, and you reunite, you become your real self again. This has started to happen when I meditate.
  6. You misunderstood what she meant. Of course the mask doesn't have any holes, she is talking about the vision from her consciousness. But there is no point in debating this, either go visit one of these places where this is being done and see for yourself, or wait for the mainstream media to talk about it in like 30 years, or forget about it and focus on things that are important to you.
  7. It's scientifically proven that you can take your vision outside your head. Look at this video where they teach children to see while blindfolded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GonBODn_YjI The tunnel is your consciousness and many people have seen this tunnel in out of body experiences, near death experiences, lucid dreaming etc. The scientist explains later in the video how it works. I believe your experience was real and if you want to, you can learn this skill of lucid dreaming or astral projection.
  8. @TheDao Yes that is possible! He seems like a good teacher, I wonder if some of his students have reached that level. I'm doing something similar with the guidance of my teacher who helps us a lot and speeds up the process. The teacher manifests the immortal body within us after an initiation-meditation, then we strengthen it and do some other things and in the final meditations we shift into it and become our higher self, I'm close to the end of that process, it's very blissful.
  9. "Love is not a doing, but an allowing. It is a relaxing into your true nature. Love is a joy of being. An acceptance of the right of all things to be. And a delight in the expression of all things as they enjoy their right to be. Once you allow yourself to sense this energy flowing through you, you will find that the flow will increase. One day, the dam will break and you will be flooded with unconditional acceptance for everyone and everything. "
  10. Yes but even if we recognize and accept that truth, the separate self can survive. When the addiction to thinking is gone and you really live in the now most of the time and the sense of self has changed permanently, then the separate self and your seeking are probably gone for good. I wonder if she is that evolved yet or still stuck in the mind.
  11. Yes it can do that! I don't think the ego/I-thought/separate self/seeker is illusory, it's in our psychology and affects us a lot. The people who say it's illusory are not talking about the ego itself but the delusional thoughts and self-image the ego creates, the thought or idea that it is the body.
  12. @TheDao Interesting! What happens if someone only focus on spiritual growth with non-duality teachings like self-inquiry? From what I have heard, if they are successful their kundalini will reach the crown chakra and they will be healthy and energized forever. Is it possible to get a perfect chi/prana flow from just being in that enlightened state or would you recommend that those people do some type of chi practices too?
  13. I like that you used your intuition and hope that it really was intuition and not some impulse from the mind, it can be difficult to discern sometimes. My intuition tells me to not take it. You thought it through well but it could still be a mistake, we don't know yet.
  14. With strong shaktipat meditations that he sends to his students. @Username Yes that's probably true!
  15. People are different, some are very balanced and functional even though they have a low level of consciousness. I was always very anxious and neurotic, probably inherited it from my mom, and it didn't disappear when I started meditating and evolving. I was able to raise my level of consciousness but I still had strong anxieties, but then I found my beloved teacher who removed my fears and distortions for me, if I tried to do it alone it would have taken a very long time. So don't expect fast results, and maybe don't try to do it all by yourself, a true teacher is hard to find but if you want to you will find your destined teacher who will help you a lot.
  16. Listening to guided meditations and getting shaktipat worked for me. You could also try breathing techniques, yoga, chi gong or focusing on releasing resistance.
  17. It depends on what definition of ego you want to have. I prefer Ramana Maharshi's definition of the ego/I-thought because that part of our psychology can dissapear and without any negative side-effects. His definition allows us to see and understand that part of our psychology, with a different definition and teachings we may miss these important clues that would help us evolve.
  18. I haven't done psychedelics, after a spiritual transmission from a teacher my perception of reality changed permanently, so now I see and feel that everything is the self, everything is shining with this I-feeling. It feels a bit trippy sometimes but in a really good way, now that the whole world is the self I feel very safe and happy to be here!
  19. Great! Yes I remember reading about your experience 8 months ago. I like the energy I see in your words, that perspective of seeing and feeling the oneness, it feels great and can create some real miracles! There is someone in my city who is overflowing with that energy and I know she is protecting our city. Sometimes I ask my spirit friends for help, Elohim Grace especially, she always help me when I ask Anyway, congratulations, and all you need now after such an awakening is to clear away all the inner distortions and darkness and truly embody the purity of the oneness.
  20. I think ascension is the endgame. In the past ascension meant that the physical body died and the spiritual body and consciousness went into a higher dimension and continued its evolution there. Now there is also the possibility of ascending with the physical body and continuing to live on earth as an enlightened being and not age, no need for food or water, always perfect health and energy, powers, freedom etc.
  21. Interesting topic! I haven't tried Ethan's yet but most others on that list. Jivanmuktis work best for me, her purity is incredible and she naturally radiates energy all the time which is a sign of a master. Brahman Menor is also very evolved and naturally radiates, he never eats or drinks and has incredible powers if you can believe that, you can check out his youtube, I had an awakening after watching his video.
  22. After experiencing all these God-consciousness states, some seekers reach a level where all that disappears and they are just a human again, but now they are happy and free, they have simplicity and balance. Eventually they become pure and refined enough to access the hidden knowledge, then they will just know things and can begin to teach, some yogis were like that.
  23. Yes some people needs to be more selfish and take care of their own needs before helping others. But selflessness is good as long as it is in alignment with your needs and feeling and intuition. My teacher always tell this to people with cancer, he has seen many heal when they begin to take care of themselves and follow their feeling, the cancer is just teaching them that they are out of alignment, if the lesson is understood then the cancer goes away.
  24. You haven't because you are just a human, a small part of the big Self, incapable of creating worlds
  25. Yes I believe in raising our level of consciousness because then we are able to see and feel the oneness all the time. Then it's not about beliefs and concepts anymore. I'm not finished yet but this world I'm currently in is so much better than the old one that felt cold, scary and boring
