There are no techniques that work all across the board because there is no path, you are aligning with truth/love that is in it's essence you, that is the process that we use the pointer of "the path" to describe. You always had openings to it in the past and you always were it. Because the world is scattered, if you think of a starburst, and you are a ray of light radiating from the center, the direction that one ray of light goes to connect with center is from a perspective different from the others. Some of us have to travel in completely opposite directions to reach source. Clearing the mind gives the opportunity for impulses to come to you that will lead you back to source, or rather better align you in your form existence with source. If you meditate and turn it into a "thing that you do" which often happens when we focus on how long we meditate for, it can lose its ability to connect you with source. Paradoxically, every day you meditate you "build" the ability to clear the mind and connect with source. Intuition is really important. Comparison with others or even yourself in the past or where you think you should be will block intuition. Intuition comes from paying attention to how you feel and if you set a rigorous schedule that you stick to no matter what and no matter how you feel you might be cutting yourself off. Having the flexibility to follow your intuition is important. But if for now the rigorous schedule feels good, then you're on the right track. Also a comment on past lives, if you uncover a past life or some sort of similar past connection, you can never really claim it as your past life. It is a bridge, a duality within the formless, pointing towards that you were always One. So there both are and are not past lives.

Aww... you're the Grinch. Can't escape those sweet stories.

The story is that humans became evolved enough for thought in the garden of eden and got the knowledge of "good and evil" or the illusion of "free will." Animals don't have that. If you think that that development was nothing more than a massive unfortunate mistake, then you cut yourself off from the magic of creation. So there's prethought, caught in thought and "no thought". Yet animals, and all of nature and those potent things derived from nature (psychadelics) from the prethought category all have the potential to help align you with conciousness because in a wierd strangeloop fashion it includes all and you are all of it.

@Leo GuraYou've really thrown yourself into the lion's den haven't you? Everyone says that nonduality and truth can't be described using language and are just pointers blah, blah, blah but until you understand that deeply people get the wrong idea. You're a polarizing, provocative as fuck teacher because your pointers are like knives to the heart. Efficient and effective, but... ouch. Yet your videos are super long and in depth. Well, God works in mysterious ways.

Just wondering if I'm off in drawing these conclusions. God doesn't care whether or not anyone gets enlightened, God loves all people the same. Yet in everyone there's a seed (as we are created in the image of God) that under the correct conditions, grows, maybe it flowers, and maybe... it even bears fruit. Yet when one bears fruit and aligns himself with God, God is still conscious of all others as one with itself and time is nonexistent so ultimately enlightenment and gaining or losing it itself is part of the illusion. You are everything and everyone and if you miss love as the connecting force you'll be choked out by weeds. Love burns up completely the elitism and unfairness as illusion, you cannot be separate from those who are "unenlightened".

I prayed my whole life to God to give me wisdom. Wisdom is that love is all there is. I want to learn to speak the language of love. I want to clearly channel it. Are we allowed to build the tower of Babel now? Have we been scattered long enough? I have such a deep desire to share this love and bliss. But it's so easily misinterpreted, so easily glossed over and thrown away. For he who has ears to hear, hear. For him who's heart is open, receive and give love for both are one. We could dissolve into beautiful nothingness together.

You need to build a toolbox for pulling yourself out of that state. Getting out in nature, grounding, crystals, a vision board, pictures that inspire you on Pinterest, a good book, exercise, whatever it is that does it for you. SHAUN!!! You can't improve the world from the position that thinks it's all shit. Don't let your light, your brilliance, your God given gifts go to waste. Source, the universe, and mother Earth thinks that you are amazing. She worked really hard to make you, and to make this world for you to enjoy and you want to reject her gift. Can you imagine how sad that makes her? You need to align yourself with her will to be happy. You know why? Because she is you.

Meditation/communion with nature opened that door for me. Also weirdly enough it was a mix of nature and past human history there that really did it. There has to be a, inherent passion/love for the thing itself, not just for what one wants to get out of it. I wish it were easier to point toward.

You don't believe that a Chinese sweat shop worker could be happy? Have you heard of hedonic adaptation? Conditions don't have much to do with happiness.

Why do you always come back to the evil when you can always come back to the love and the good? What's your experience right now at his very moment? What are you imagining? That's all you can take responsibility for.

I just noticed that there's a yellow orb that showed up in this photo. This is a road that goes into a cemetery.

@Aakash I must kill my own ego before I love others as myself?

Whaaaat? I thought killing my ego would be a heck of a lot easier than getting along with other people and now you're saying I have to learn to get along with people anyway?

She was still speaking her language of love. Love is unavoidable. All this othering though, it could really shine through a lot clearer if we worked on our othering. At what point does there stop being a self to work on? Or a self to take care of, to hurt or be hurt? It's not that others are your self, it's not that you give, it's that you just are, and that you are love.

I wanted to try to explain why I keep harping about stories to people. You know how sometimes you get a realization and you start seeing it everywhere? I'm hoping sharing this lets me move on. I didn't understand how much I demonized stories and missed what powerful pointers to oneness stories can be. The author loves all the characters and everything that happens as she/he created them. You can step in and step out of stories at will, and you can create your reality when you realize that you are the author. I underestimated the amount of mosquitoes and red ants there were where I filmed this so please forgive all the sudden movements.

Yes, but I am trying to pawn the work off to someone else first and it doesn't seem to be working out. I feel responsible for her leaving too, but I never really understood why she left anyway.

I think that all of those are all true at the same time. Eckhart Tolle is a bridge, it's such an incredible thing I'm learning to appreciate more and more. Bridges are useful both ways. I don't have a high pain tolerance at all, but I am used to bug bites. Thank you! After the awakening I acted a lot like a little kid and my ego came back and smacked me upside the head like a boomerang. So I'm still recovering from that shock and integrating the newly freed inner child with the adult who wants to look and sound responsible, and both are total pains in the asses so I really hope that they work things out soon. Another part of integration is the understanding that it never really happened. It too is a story I tell myself.

Well then. Nowisforever is gone, Tsuki is gone. Talk about lonely tea parties. A bridge, a bridge, we wants to build a bridge!!! This "community" is a bunch of lone wolf loners, myself included, trying to turn themselves into superheros with superpowers while turning their back on the world. Love can build a bridge, you fuckers!!! Mandy, was that outburst really necessary? Yes. Tea parties are more fun when you're alone! After all, I'm just God pretending to be myself. What's the difference??? I'm going to make tsuki and nowisforever sock puppets. That will make it all better.

I recently noticed that when crystals or glass is cracked you can often see a rainbow reflection there.

No, that's why the apple created the snake to tell the woman who told the man to eat the apple. You were born into a story. You realize that the story is fiction, that time is something that you/the author dreamed up and that you consciously decided to enter the story. You are here to use illusion to enjoy, live and co-create that story. You are here to appear to grow and develop as a character through hard lessons over "time". You woke up in the middle of the story and realized that you were not just a character but that you are all characters and also the author of the story. You are GOD. You are a CREATOR. Don't tell me that you don't love creation or creating. @kieranperez Do you feel whole? You've got the not this part down, but the reason it doesn't feel whole is because you have to explore and experience the beauty, love and light, isness side. I promise you, if you go into isness you'll see that your believe that isness is a trap was an illusion. That's the wall that needs to be torn down, not the isness itself. There's paradise on the other side of that wall. You are right there is no experience, it's an illusion, you see people sharing memories of their experiences and you inherently know it's not real. Yet here we are following Leo and interacting with each other on a forum, we're already experiencing trying to explain the unexplainable and creating and making up relative cosmologies. Can you see that denial and dismissal of what is or is not meaning is creating a painful duality? We're here. Now. Might as well make the most of it.

If the entire point of creation is God splitting itself into everything that is, if everything is an illusion for God's entertainment, wouldn't an appreciate of the fantasies and a love of the illusion be aligning yourself with the purpose of God? I agree with your view point though, first everything has to be dropped before it can picked back up again, consciously. Otherwise you don't see through the illusion, you're stuck in it. The spiritual ego is a trap everyone has to work though. We usually describe it as a trap but I think a better description is that it's a gatekeeper. The more I try to embrace the everythingness of life the more I see the nothing, the more I try to embrace the nothingness the more I see the everything. The description of God and existence as love, fits the best. Love is neither a thing nor a no thing, and love is all there is.

Sigh... We gave you life. Yet you boys keep thinking you can go all maverick on your own and that the world will fall away around you, in the vehicle that Earth gave birth to. Mother Earth and the Angel of Light think not. Pay us your dues and we'll let you take the glory, we're giving like that. @Faceless never prescribed mediation. You needed Nahm, and Leo, and Faceless and everyone and everything that you are one with to be who you are because they are you.

I will never be enlightened. You will never get enlightened. We are enlightened.

I believe that there is something going on with the entire evolution of the Earth and that it's much easier to awaken spontaneously and quickly now. Some traditions and methods were appropriate for their time. All of us have past lives yet none of us specifically have past lives, the phenomenon is a symptom of duality collapsing on itself. All those "lives" were paving the way. If you're here reading on this forum you probably don't have to worry about your talent level. The more that awaken the easier it is for everyone else. If only letting go was easy but you have to embrace and let go of at the same time. "You say goodbye and I say hello, hello hello, I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello."
