Blaming only causes separation. The ego is a part of you so take full responsability for it. When you allow it to be as it is it will integrate and thus stopping separation. I'm not saying you should express the ego. It's a part of you but not what you truly are in it's limited form. Expression of it means you instead cause separation externally which is apart of its illusion. Instead listen to it don't express it. Be its loving friend that always is there to listen.

@Recursoinominado Once the initial realization has occurred there is not much to do but to surrender like you say. As long as your not grasping the good moments and resisting the bad I think your doing alright.

I would start with a discussion about what's more real. What really is or the thoughts about how it SHOULD be. And how it's easy get lost in those thoughts of how it should be. And then introduce mindfulness.

Is this what you mean by lazy and egotistical? Seems like your personal will is fading away or is gone. I went through the same thing, much to my wifes frustration. I couldn't really function normally. There was no drive to do anything but to sit on the couch and to her I probably looked pretty lazy and egotistical I made an assumption that this was about something else.

@who chit Beautifully said. If no-thingness can't be experienced can it really exist without thing-ness? Or is no-thingness and thingness intertwined?

All energies can be transmuted not just sexual energies. A prerequisite for that is to not identify with that energy because if you do it will manifest as that energy. For example anger might arise in the body and if there is identification with it you will release it as the emotion anger. If you don't identify with it there is no need to express it and it will transform. The same is true for sexual energy or any energy.

A year ago I'd put you as dominantly yellow. What made you go through turquoise so quickly? Personally I feel like I've only scratched the surface of turqoise.

I've noticed the same thing. Maybe it's him not communicating the higher truth to make his teaching more clear to his audience. But I guess that somewhere along the path the development stops or isn't as significant as it has been. For some it stops in blue and some goes beyond turquoise. What determines how far it goes?

@bejapuskas How can you take responsability for your life if you blindly listen to people?

@Baotrader Interesting questions! Does the mind have insight though? Where is the intuition in all this?

@Barry J So you act on the egoic energy when it arises in the body. Do you have to do that? Can't you just let it be?

Yes I agree. The "one" does not exist. Thank you for pointing that out.

@MM1988 most people are content as you say. Then they hit there 40's and start to question things. ?

@Tistepiste There are good moments and bad moments. Bliss, Happiness, Sadness, Anger. No matter what the experience is there is an underlying peace.

@Mezanti I'm going to use different words to describe this. What you call non duality I call the absolute. And to experience the absolute is blissful. And when you first experience that state you never want it to end, so when it does you feel bad and want to go back into that state. When the absolute state return you feel wonderful again. For each iteration of this the one that holds on to different states dissolves until there is no one there to hold on. And then there is the true non dual state. No holding on or resisting different states. Now for your question. Can you go back to duality? Yes a change in states is inevitable. But trying to go back from or hold onto the absolute will only create suffering. Once true non duality is, and the one holding onto states has dissolved completely then the desire and ability to hold onto states is gone.

@tashawoodfall As many here already have said, this is part of the awakening process. All these symptoms will fade away after a while. If you want you can probably go back to sleep if that's what you want. That fact might make it a little easier to let go of these feelings you are dealing with right now.

@Roman Edouard Boredom is resistance to the present moment. If you are truly present you can't be bored. When you feel bored investigate the boredom. how does it feel in the body. What thoughts come up? Does it pass even if you don't react to it? That's a good way to overcome most negative feelings.

Nice clickbait. 10/10 How can we see when there is no seer? How can we feel when there is no feeler? Seeing and feeling happens. Is there really an answer to why? Unconditional love is an everpresent "perfume" of consciousness. It's total acceptance of what is. So even if hate and pain arises there is acceptance towards those thoughts and feelings. There might be resistances arising towards hate and pain but that is met by the same love.

@luckieluuke Try exercising for a while. Does the vibration increase? @NoSelfSelf The blood flowing in your veins

@NoSelfSelf It's the circulatory system.

It's good to distiguish these things as they can be quite subtle.

Good. Could you tell me those things I asked you so it's clear what we are talking about for me as well.

As you say only awareness can observe these things, but it's easy to group different experiences into a concept such as the ego and then it's not a discussion anchored in experience. If you look within can you find any ego there? What does the new and the old ego consist of? These problems you talk about what do they consist of? You'll know it's the infinite. No need to think about these things that have yet occured.

@RendHeaven It's good to see this early. "I SHOULD be happy." That's a big sign that thought is trying to look for reasons for being happy. Happiness is not about logic reasoning however. Maybe you should sit down and start to FEEL what really is true for you because you won't find real happiness until you do.

Nothing wrong to prepare for the future as long as the present isn't just the means to get in to the future moment. It's not about the end point but the journey there.
