WelcometoReality

@spiritualryan Is it really a belief or is that what you are currently experiencing? First there might be an apparent division between experiencer and experienced which is the normal state of humans. Once realization happens there is no division between experiencer and experience. Just stick to your practice until realization happens. You can use this practice to lead sensations back to it's source. See if it's helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-7LXHjGHfM

I usually look if there is genuiness and connectedness shining through the persons words. Anyone can learn the spiritual jargon but is it coming from a deeper place of authenticity? @OneIntoOne

Tools for deconstruction: Journaling (Getting it down on paper makes the construct easier to spot) Spiritual Autolysis (same principle as journaling) Self Inquiry (Deconstructing the constructor) Labeling practice (naming what is thought and what is feeling as the experience is happening) Does anyone have more tools to add? "Shikantaza fosho. Literally just jump straight to the end of the deconstructive path lol." @Consilience

Let's share enlightenment videos we like here! Please take any discussions of the videos elsewhere.

@BipolarGrowth Could it be that it's complete only because there a belief that it is complete?

I'm not a teacher but I can try to give you some guidance. ? There might be a part of you who is unwilling to let go of the disconnection and is holding on to the absolute. You can use labeling technique to dissolve that structure. Let go of the place of observing and instead go into the experienced. As for the loving kindness part put attention to the heart and relax any kind of tensions. Relax and feel the heart. There might be feelings of heartache and emotions that arises. Start perceiving the world through your heart. I know that sounds very weird and abstract but this is how I would explain it. Let all senses in and let them land in your heart.

@Dodo Thank you! Glad to hear that you have found love. It's a healthy way of seeing that is just begun. (the video isn't directed to uou)

@SageModeAustin Shinzen Young describes the process in this video.

@actualizing25 . Maybe it won't be enough for going all the way but I wouldn't worry about it for now. When the day comes where happiness and peace is present a new want for truth might appear.

It can be 'experienced' without psychadelics as well. It's simply seeing reality in it's natural state. We can also flip that question around. How do you know your not fooling yourself right now? You do it by examining what you are experiencing with a magnifying glass. Very fair. ? Yes it will be a subjective truth. You can try to communicate it with others but it can't be proven or understood unless it's been 'experienced' by the other.

The mind will try to understand it. But it can't since it simply an experience within the now.

@TheAvatarState Sounds like you are bumping up against identification/resistance to fear and the only way through it is meeting it. Are you connected well to intuition? Seeing the way intuition is guiding you and how thought and feeling identification is resisting to follow intuition helps. It might look like this: Intuition: go talk to that person. Feeling: A contraction in the gut. Mind: I dont want to go there. I'll talk to him later. I feel so awkward talking to people. (Fear) Breaking the identification with mind (fear) will lessen the fear with time. As a final note I want to say that it's better to start small. Examine how this fear is controlling you and meet it in small ways. It might be as small as walking to the mail box or putting down you phone. Hope this helps.

If you want to know the Truth then yes. That's not what everyone wants so you have to make a choice. Pursuit of best interests, what serves you best would be an egoic pursuit.

@karkaore Reminds me of this video. Maybe it will be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zIKQCwDXsA

@VeganAwake Peeling the onion is a great talk. ?

Yes, a divine and loving drama whore

@spiritualryan They would wake up and realize it was just a dream. ?

Yes, thought happens. It's an experience just like the other senses. No need to stop thought because the only thing that tries to stop thought is also thought.

So you don't have a video on the same topic?

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Glad your feeling better. Good luck on your journey and keep praying. <3

The death that is experienced as the final layer of self dissolves.

@VeganAwake Thank you for that but the video did not adress the same issue.

Could you link videos on that? That is the only video I have found that is dealing with that topic.

You're welcome and thank you for your honesty. That is a very courageous thing to do and essential for growth.

That's good that you can see how theybare not serving you. Can you also see that they are not true?
