Daddy Mckenna says it like it is. Whoever honestly looked at the right places, it wasn't peace, bliss, love and all that heart crap. This is how boring, flavorless, pointless and scary the Truth sounds when translated through the language of self-agenda. No wonder ego is constantly running after everything BUT the Truth.

One of the indomitable law is manifestation looks like everything the Self is NOT. No appearance that ever popped out shines as it's Reality. No no no..it must have to appear as something opposed to Reality. But it sure affirms and re-affirms to itself that it's appearance is Reality. Such a vicious and circular loop

Be more angry at the shadow. Finally a winner will remain after the tug of war

yup..

You mean goddess Kali? Actually it personifies the neti neti method. Ruthless destruction of all illusion until only Truth remains.

lol Anyway God is the absence of ego. When it is realized that only God exists, then ego ceases to exist now and forever. Then statements like ''God is Ego'' or ''God is so and so'' becomes redundant and misleading. God is.

2 children of God fighting over God

Good boy having some good metaphysical wet dreams

The only thing you will be quantifying is humanity's deluded ass; not Consciousness.

@Highest @now is forever Seeing you two quarrel makes me wonder whether you two might make a nice metaphysical couple

not deciding 100% on transcendence. Lack of earnestness. Lack of purity of intent. Same deal

The ego is root concept. It makes the maze called 'life' and simultaneously gets totally lost in it. Once that 'drop' into the maze happens, oh boy now we got meaning, purpose, happiness, suffering, delusion, other people, world etc and etc what not...all masquerading as the most real things. To be 'born' is nothing but to suffer. ''Whenever the mind comes out of the Self, it only suffers'' - Ramana Maharshi

Like every good boy, the ego wants to stay alive for another day.

Looks like Good boy is on detention

Pray for LOA to be false and it might turn out as true maybe?

''I don't want to live anymore'' AWESOME! Now the quest for True Life can begin for the first time!

He is doing his 2nd masters program. Married as far as I remember. Age less than 30

To ask why is to assume cause and effect

haha oh yeah. The rest of the path is being too. Nothing new comes into the equation.

Nicely explained. Thanks. It's not enlightenment until it is the only, ever effortless, uninterrupted being. One finally reaches there through many trials and stages.

exactly. The more time goes on after this realization, the more daily habits and brain structure change.

okay that could be the case. It also depends on where we draw the line called 'awakening'

The final result or brain structure will be the same whether it's enlightenment after 2 years of seeking or 60 years of seeking. After enlightenment, it would take like 6months-1 year for the brain to start taking on this new structure. People woke up way faster than that as well. Jed Mckenna(and few of his folks) did it in 2 years (in fact he often says if it takes more than 1-2 years, you are only using spirituality as your new shiny vest to wear and you really don't wanna wake up). Ramana and Eckhart woke up the very first time they self inquired. Few of Ramana's pupils woke up very quickly, while other several hundreds were probably kissing Ramana's feet everyday for 40 years and yet was as deluded as day 1...with a fatter ego.

No it's not abnormal. It's pretty much the common brain structure of those who have been meditating hardcore for decades or just flat out WOKE enlightened. There is little to none self-referential thoughts left around being a person or located object with a history. I watched an Youtube video where a report was shown that the average brain of a Tibetian Buddhist monk had 30 times more potential to be happy than average people in the world.

@Arhattobe Btw on the flip side, could it be that you awakened so fast BECAUSE you had nasty episodes with psychedelics back in the days? While most monks spend 50 years in a sangha just to be more close-minded, dogmatic and lowkey egotistical in the end. How could you ever know?
