Seraphim

Some new-age type of teachings and channelings say that God started the creation with an innocent desire to experience something new, but there was no intention to create all the horrible things, those things appeared later when the souls explored their free will and became lost in the separation from God. But all souls know what they sign up for and what they will experience before they incarnate on planets like the Earth, they want to go through the suffering and joy so that they can learn and evolve. There is more to it, but does that perspective resonate/feel right to you? To me it makes sense and I feel like it's the truth or at least a truth among many.

You are not supposed to be an observer in self-inquiry, who taught you that? I think your intuition is telling you this. There is no observer and no thinker/doer, that's the difference between self-inquiry and mindfulness meditation. In self-inquiry you are supposed to go from being in the mind to being in the heart with inner silence.

Yes many believe the solar flash and changes are coming now, but we have to listen to our own intuition. I don't think it's time for those major changes yet. And I don't think the vaccines have microchips, if they did and people found proof then the revolution would be unstoppable, it would be a stupid gamble, if they already control the world politics and media, why risk losing it all like that?

Jivanmukti talks about equanimity a lot because it's part of that siddha yoga path and her youtube-videos have energy (shaktipat) that helps people with this.

Yes that was great! The oneness is there in the background, but a few years ago I wasn't able to feel it, so maybe it would be confusing for those who can't feel it yet, they may need shaktipat first to be able to start noticing the oneness in the background.

Isn't he saying that there are no levels in the same way that there are no objects? "Everything is just awareness". Of course from that perspective there are no levels, but that's not practical or concrete, it's philosophical. You can't use arguments from a philosophy in a concrete, human-level, down to earth discussion, it doesn't match.

What makes you think that?

Yes I like more profound topics like shapeshifting, magical entities, higher states of consciousness, grace, mystical martial arts, modern advanced science hidden from the mainstream, healing methods etc. I'm exploring some of these things and it would be fun to discuss it, but I also know there is an incredible depth to non-duality that some people on this forum has realized that is amazing so I get why many focus on only that!

Was that from Ananda's book? I haven't read it but it felt like her. I hope that blank mind state isn't dangerous, my teacher is trying to get us to a state where the mind has no more thoughts, because we are trying to do something new and paranormal and we need that state to achieve it, the shaktipat is so strong and some of the students are having some scary effects from losing their minds

I feel you got nothing to worry about. And it's a good situation to work on your trust, don't go through her phone or anything like that again, just trust the oneness and let the oneness show you through her that you can trust it! Also use your intuition/feeling instead of being in the mind and obsessing over things like that!

What is it like to be in the Godhead-state? Please describe it, it sounds interesting. Maybe the step after that is the one that my teacher is guiding us to: A state where there are no thoughts, and one begins to live from intuition and feeling completely, also all the emotional distortions and traumas are gone and one's body will always be healthy and stay young for hundreds of years. It's basically the state that some yogis achieved, like Babaji and others who lived hundreds of years.

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.

How do your awakenings that happened on psychedelics affect you in your daily life? Is anything different from before? Because with non-dual awakenings there are things that change permanently like happiness, different sense of self, aware of something that wasn't there before etc.

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!
