    David Hawkins says, "many meditators few enlightened"

    The spiritual "path" is non-linear. One might be seeking for a long time then suddenly get revelations all at once. Not like learning math linearly.

    It seems the controlling factor is probably intention.

    I've had glimpses into some aspects of enlightenment without meditation or psychedelics. 

    I've been wrong so many times in my spiritual path that I now always question my beliefs. It's been a long road! : )

    i’m having trouble understanding being aware of being aware/being. i’ve been doing the practice everyday for the past couple months. at first i tried being aware of being aware through senses other than thought (sensations, sight, sound). i quickly grew frustrated and confused because i realized that is impossible and is not the point. the point is to “kill” the ego (thoughts), so to speak. and i actually can very easily just “be” as awareness when a thought comes up. because it is just so obvious i am before thought. but now that the ego is very quiet, thoughts don’t come, how then am i supposed to be aware of being aware? if there is no thought, the only other senses left are sight, sound, and sensations (mainly). and focusing on the other senses isn’t the point as far as i know.

    edit: also, when i focus on the “i am”, is it supposed to go like this? first i create the thought “i am”, then i see that i am actually before the thought. is this it?

    i am just so confused

    You can't really be aware of awareness. If one becomes aware of awareness then enlightenment will happen.

    It's a good practice trying and one may realize enlightenment though it.

    Aware of Awareness

    Sit with eyes open and notice your peripheral vision. While noticing your peripheral vision now also notice the pressure of the chair your sitting on, now bring in all of your other sense modalities i.e. taste, sound, smell. This helps one get into the present moment because ones body is always in the present moment. Don't worry about thinking, let thinking continue.

    Notice how you feel different. You will feel a little different.

    Now just try turning your awareness to what is being aware. 

     

     

    You'll notice once you're more use to it you can do it anytime.

    I’ll answer but then you must abide by my answer. If you are inclined not to, then that’s a mental disorder. Fair enough? 

    I think I understand what your getting at. That just because I said so, just because it's a position I have doesn't make it a mental problem, correct?

    What about goats and sheep? Will those holes be okay too?

    If one changes the male/female chromosome will that change ones etheric energy blueprint?

    I don't buy the "I was born in the wrong body"

    -------

    A great nation is like a great man:
    When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
    Having realized it, he admits it.
    Having admitted it, he corrects it.
    He considers those who point out his faults
    as his most benevolent teachers.
    He thinks of his enemy
    as the shadow that he himself casts.

    I watch Leo's video "Is Gender A Social Construct"

    I agree with what he says.

    Things are changing, soon we are going to be altering our DNA so if one wants to see in the dark one might be able to splice into our DNA the DNA of the of an owl.

    One might be able to change there male/female chromosomes. 

    Leo was talking about how our definitions of what a man and woman is will change. But I'm sure we'll make new categories for the new types of humans and male/females are.

    It's going to get interesting!

    I agree with equal rights but not equal abilities. I know it's controversial but I don't agree it's normal to be homosexual. Homosexuals have a mental problem, the same as a person with some other mental problem. I'm not judging, I believe they "shouldn't" be discriminated against at all. In our world of 3D there is male/female. 

    I look at it from the point of view as to how to raise ones children. One couldn't raise children by allowing them to do anything because in the absolute reality there is no right or wrong. It wouldn't be healthy for the child. One has to develop a strong healthy ego then transend it. In my view I like to relate spiritual concepts to children. Is it healthy for children to be total weirdos in school? Probably not.

    Leo seem to be pointing to enlightenment in his video. In heaven there is nether male or female.

    @Bodhitree Its a matter of times. Saints didnt have Wordly knowledge, technology, etc.

    @freejoy

    Theres a big risk going for non duality if you dont have your life situations prepared for it. Better get money, then go non dual. Im telling you from experience, I got stepped on while going non dual and being in the matrix. Not happening again. At the same time, you will always need truth for your private life. Its the balancer.

    It seems so. It seems to this ego that it should get everything ready, get the land and flower garden, the beautiful cliff overlooking the valley, the walk in fridge with all the organic food, the little hanger with your airplane and private runway. Beautiful house with all the saintly girls ready to have your babies. Then go for non-dual Enlightenment.

    But if enlightenment is heaven why bother with those things?

    I want to be a sage not a saint

    What is the difference?

    You realise some of these things contradict eachother right? Saints are usually poor and very mortal. 

    Yeah maybe, you know if your a Saint you can't say it as that wouldn't be saintly : )

    Some Enlightened Ones are very wealthy, just look at Jim Carrey.

    Since we never die and we never were born but we have this body (vehicle) and I've never seen an Enlightened One who wanted to his vehicle to stop working, that would be like having your car break down on side of the road. It appears God (the infinite intelligent void) is trying to make our vehicle immortal.

    Great definition. There is any saint in the world? I never met any

    I'm not sure if one can really set being a Saint as a goal.

    A Saint would be invisible.

    Do you ask from the perspective of a sober person reflecting on their trip or someone who is immersed in the experience and doesn't know how to make sense of their suspected delusions?

    This is when I first got high on marijuana years ago. I had an amazing time. I laughed so hard, my face seemed like putty and my hand seem to mash into my face. Very much like a psychedelic experience. I thought everyone was high! 

    It reminds me of when they say everyone is Enlightened.

    When I got high on marijuana the first time I thought everyone was high.

    It wasn't true although at the time it seemed true.

    How can one be sure a psychedelic trip is true?

    I also have gotten paranoid on marijuana. It was also not true.

    What do you mean, if girls like to flirt? Yes, many do.

    If you don't like to game and you just want a partner without much effort - lower your standards.

    Flirting is natural.

    Depends on how you both dance together. Directly telling her you want to have sex is not what is considered flirting.

    @freejoy Well then start "gaming" prostitutes. You've already got your answer. :-)

    And also, "started having sex at 5 years old" seems very unlikely. No matter how much it is said that guys like sex so much, any kid would be traumatized having sex at such a young age. That's why we have laws that prevent such things from happening.

    Kids don't actually WANT to be sexual while they are kids. And that's normal lol. It doesn't even cross their minds, especially at such a young age (5).

    Yeah it's true. I don't think I've ever been traumatized.

    I have been homeless for a number of years, I have seen what time can do to the scared and desperate. I have seen pure hatred for life where a person will beligerantly cuss at everything in their way constantly with a completely dirty outfit, discusting teeth and hair, with nothing to do but be hateful towards everyone while having nothing in life at all not even a place to sit and relax from being scorched by the sun, trust me that's how it was for him. I wondered if I could ever get like that how could I possibly not kill myself. The more I went through life having that come up in thought, which is more often then it probably should've, the less I blamed him. I have attempted suicide a couple times because I had no hope or forsight to be content. That's what drove that man into a hateful existence I believe, he had no room for contentment as his life slid into a bottomless pit of shit. I am currently homeless but I am lucky enough to survive away from civilization and having to live in the hell of believing in God, karma, comparison, and judgement. That shit is a never ending cycle. I am homeless by choice, I am 25 and meditate and wander around my desert oasis in Arizona 24/7, dream loving dreams, eat whatever I choose to carry, read cool books but mostly contemplate how eternal my peace will be. I wish more people could relate and so you have my best wishes! All I ever did was be an introvert as hard as it is. Astrology opened my eyes after I believed aliens were looking out for me, they weren't.

    How's the weather? : )

    I come you choose being homeless? 

    Any good looking homeless ladies where your at?
