One thing to remember is every other separate individual you meet, whatever their level of development, is an aspect of god - or you - choosing to manifest in a coherent way to have that specific experience. None of us can invalidate that.

Hi there

Perhaps you would like some Rabies to taste insanity? Dissolve all those coherent definitions into a sludge of useless grey matter

Echoing @BlessedLion & @Emerald's sentiment! This is what I was about to come and post! I was a seeker for a long time to transcend suffering. I pointed my lens to spiritual endeavours to be surprised by God Realization, only to have that very God Realization point right back to the crude matter of reality, and the knowledge I must drive into this experience. The great Ouroboros:

The clarity with which you executed these words... speaking on many levels of this wonderous revelation, and your very grounded understanding! Thank for your grace and holding space for my personal experiences & beliefs We are many walking this earth, you never know who you will cross paths with. Namaste!

Theres a Between us, and the ultimate divine, is a telepathic collective layer of consciousness that doesn't labour under time, and lacks matter. I have no proof of this mind you. Simply that I have experienced some confluences that simply could not be ignored! I will allude to a connection to what I speak about: the current revelations of cutting edge science, disclosure, 'drones' and many studied psychic phenomena that can't be explained (yet), all spawn from this space. Maybe a critical mass can be reached within humanity that enables the veil to be lifted, but this would irrevocably change our trajectory. Which isn't correct for our path yet (in my opinion!). We can all just do our little things to make progress All I can be certain of myself is we are so much more than we have been led to believe! I am so vicariously happy to hear about your process btw - FUCK YEAH! That feminine energy unlocked is going to flow right back to the masculine and feed its beauty Happy mothers day & all the love! T

Okay good, brb while I rip those innards out

You speak to me as if I am part of this collective - which is true - but on an individual level, I do not, I cannot, judge. You are just in process, like we all are. Your challenge is that your soft underbelly is out there like a delicious, tasty morsel for the masses to go at. Most of us can be in process behind the scenes. You risk having to build up defense walls so high no one can breach them, and this is not so good for anyone. I will note, that there is always a crafted and rehearsed element to any online interaction. Courage is grace under pressure.

I noticed the flow of emotions let out in this video. A gentle ripple on the water's surface belies a great current below. You did also check yourself when you said 'I am in control of my emotions', then *side eye* self check-in. I do suppose letting this conduit flow is a new tool you are engaging in, and less familiar. But lets be frank - no one - is in control of our emotions They are valid

Intriguing: Are you currently undertaking some form of energy work/process? Something it removing layers of fear 'There’s a presence here that’s not human.' I can't elaborate on that due to forum bans, but between our individuated consciousness and the absolute - there is another collective presence that has eroded boundaries between each 'other'. You may be feeling this That precise, that exact, YouTube link, is one I run to, just this morning! I prefer to run to shamanic drums or Om cycles What a lovely communion - you are in touch with something powerful I will place you within my thoughts in my afternoon meditation. To what affect? Who knows - but it can only be GOOD <3

Adding on some more info, it slipped my mind! 164cm, 48kg AND psychedelic use lowers HRV by around 50ms. I think they really tax the nervous system.

Sounds like a gut microbiome imbalance? Also, age matters. A lot

This has been my experience also! Always confusion around love being synonymous with harmony/positivity as a frequent commonality. Raising an issue was perceived as unloving, if it was a candid truth that got someone's heckles up. And I am not provocative with any malice. Maybe provocative when I know what the person needs to grow 😈 Love comes in all forms, discipline, a hard earnest conversation, wiping someone's arse or vomit when sick. A parent laying hard structure so the child learns skills to operate when they leave the nest. Any forms of action that weren't overtly positive? Hateful. Despite the intent and source.

Disease (in the body) = Dis-Ease in the mind and soul 😜

Yep, just basic shadow work - nothing unique there

I think @UnbornTao's approach to probing and questioning is great as they are directing attention in new ways (just as a side point). But do you grasp the fundamental elements that constitute experience? Typically, if one fully understands, they are able to explain succinctly. This is fundamental to logic and thinking (if one has mastered the understanding), can you also explain how this is old thinking for yourself? Why would it be old thinking if all understanding is built on it? Do you instead mean an old topic? Experience is such a fundamental part of the ultimate intention of existence. I adore this question and all the varied answers!

I've been tracking my HRV and various stats with a Garmin watch. I run regularly and do threshold training. For reference as it is relevent (HRV is effected by menstruation) genetically born female, 38 years old. What I have discovered effects my HRV: Resting heart rate - The fitter you are the lower this is. Simply, your heart is more efficient. Hydration - this will increase HRV as obviously dehydrated states force your work to work harder due to lower blood volume. Sleep - minimum for me is 8hrs, and I treat sleep like going to work. Food timing - eating right before bed usually ups my heart rate through the night, lowering HRV. Training - Hardcore training, or overtraining, will show in lowered HRV. When I go for zone 5 training, VO2 max stuff or threshold, it tanks a bit. Breathing/breathwork - breath control always lowers heartrate, assisting with HRV. Alcohol/drugs - SAY GOODBYE TO HRV >.< average 50ms lower Menstruation - resting heart rate gains 10bpm, HRV tanks by 20ms average. Processed foods (preservatives, junk food, emulsifiers, sugar etc) will tank HRV average 30ms. I eat vegetables and meat with dairy, seeds and nuts. ZZZZ for most. If you think about HRV and what it is actually is a measure of - how quickly your heart responds to stress, ie how quickly it can lower back to baseline or rise to perform for exercise, the above all make sense. For some reference stats: Av HRV - 96ms, 130ms peak while sleeping, Sleep 8hrs (2hrs deep, 2 hrs REM), Resting heart rate - 47bpm, 350 zone minutes a week, average 25,000 steps a day, no alcohol, no drugs, no processed food. Supplements: liquid iron, vitamin D 5000iu, K2 & magnesium. + 6 Fish oil tablets a day. 2hours per day in nature, Australian bushland. Some resistance training with Yoga. I meditate 30 minutes twice per day, 3 hours on the weekends. Been doing this for 8 years, took a lot of trial and error. I feel absolutely fantastic. No aches, pains. When I started to track health metrics it was eye opening. It has been a great tool! I don't know about HRV devices and their effects, but you can tackle this and increase HRV with the simple tools around you and good habits

I personally dislike this quote. It causes one to waste too much effort trying to understand what is being said, instead of contemplating the truth in it. It confuses the mind. Occasionally Leo frames thing from the wrong base. If the underlying concept was expressed with more clarity, I feel it should have been phrased: Do intentions, or outcome, carry more weight? Which has more value? Intent vs outcome. This, naturally, will take you down the good vs evil debate as you contemplate. In my opinion, both are important. Where you place your personal value in this contemplation can reveal your evil.... or good Dune, the novel, is a great example of this. 'The Golden Path' executed by Leto Atraides is a brutal subdugation of mankind to spur growth and expansion. Paul Atraides knows and sees this path, but he sees the evil in the execution and struggles with it, despite the good The Golden Path can do for humanity.

Haha @Yimpa we love a good post gunking ಠ⁠‿⁠ಠ

I wish the ability to like posts was turned back on! A simple way to show accolades without gunking up threads with additional posting So many very good answers with different perspectives and language! Much appreciation and enjoyment, much mind foods

Really good point regarding our organism wired to negativity I often think of my mind like an error detecting machine - constantly looking for the errors and attempting to make sure they don't happen again. This naturally makes one automatically lean in to the 'error' which is typically negative. Our survival depends on correcting the error. Imagine walking down a dark lane, and you trip on a pothole. When you encounter the dark lane again, your brain is going to go haywire alerting you of an error. If you can't see that pothole, as you enter and walk through the lane your anxiety is going to skyrocket. You know there is pain here, but you have to go on. The mind panics at the unknown error it cannot correct. Perhaps this analogy describes the suffering we labour under, and how we naturally want to lean in, understand the danger and error, so we can safely move through the laneway.

2 thoughts: Personal level: To learn not to avoid any moment, task, experience or feeling - to erase internal friction / resistance. To learn to care for myself first and foremost (the mind, moreso the meatbag) with the intention to give this energy back out. If I give to myself in alignment with my personal truth, I give unto others the energy and love to give back to everyone, or thing, I come to interact with. Giving out has always, always been returned. Amplified. This has been my process thus far. Elevating myself & others. To control and hone my thoughts to focus on this intention on any level - be it work, family, friends, or users on this forum Mind, emotions and body all as one. Collective level: As a way for consciousness to harvest experience & data through expression of itself in the material domain. 'The Collective' desires to learn about itself and how it can manipulate the lower energies to elevate itself as a whole. To alter its state. On this plane, where things are defined, and we all inhabit a body, we are to learn to create. Born to create. We use matter & energy. Unified consciousness ie God consciousness/Absolute etc has no unknowns, no surprises. It marvels, revels and takes joy in humanities ability to create. Have surprises. Our emotions and reactions are priceless, as the great unified consciousness cannot experience this. We all partake of Gods joy and wonder when we have an experience! And the most delightful part? When you have an experience with pure love intention behind it - you get to channel that absolute God consciousness right through your very being, as God wants to share and feel through YOU. You will be alight with pure energy, it flows through you, it is you. It animates the trees and grass, the walls, the stinky sponge you haven't thrown out... the wheels on a car, the chocolate wrapper on your table. Pulsing light energy pumping like blood on fire through everything around you! And you can feel this with no substances - this awakening - 'God filling you up', simply through actions of love. Spiritualities goal toward awakening is simply when there is nothing left but love within you. Burn all the rest away. My experience. My experience.

Oh do not fuss at all - I think there were lots of charged up emotions in that discussion! It is hard to handle oneself in that state. I have trouble funnelling off the excess energy often, so we all have the same challenges. But! I do thank you, nonetheless I apologise also, because mostly, it takes 2 to tango! I have no idea how men are able to temper themselves - it takes more mastery than women need to exert (testosterone and all that)

I do want to add (so sorry for the spam >.<) that many people who are drawn to spiritual work & process are driven there due to desperation. I encounter more pathological minds within the spiritual community due to this. It is almost inherent !
