It's getting a little stale lately. What can I do to freshen the spiritual air? I sometimes feel like I'm covering old ground for the third time.

You gotta see the rest of it! But that's already 4 minutes of time you'll never get back again. haha...... or will you?

@Barna Are you sure didn't experiance a time warp? " It's just a jump to the left"

@Barna For whatever it's worth, I experienced time standing still for what seemed like a millisecond today. I mean time just suddenly stopped on a dime. Realizing it had stopped made time start to pass again because I was back in thought/mind. But for a second, I could have swore that time stood still. Edit: Time solidified.

This is a little disturbing. Monkey mind on steroids.

@Annetta Not really. I coined a phrase. Witnessing the ego/self from the point of source. "At a distance" as you said. That "distance" being the divine partition.

My view is he didn't want to be considered a "Guru" or anything formal.

Allen watts considered himself a "spiritual entertainer".

@BeginnerActualizerNo problemo! Just stay with it! It will happen.

@BeginnerActualizer Step outside your safety zone and put everything on the faith that there is something much bigger than you. Allow it to consume you.

@BeginnerActualizer Just my 2 cents worth but it sounds like it could be a form of resistance. Maybe your on the verge of a breakthrough but instead that happens and therefore stops the breakthrough from happening. The subconscious can be sneaky.

@Colin I use Bose TP-1A's. Great sound reproduction, light weight, and they don't get hot wearing them. You can find them on Ebay used for a good price. You can get new replacement ear pads for them too that are easy to change.

I'm obsessed with enlightenment ! haha Your totally right! It's not some kind of new toy for the ego to play with.

Just wanted to share this here.

I must not be awake for everything looks to me as it has never looked before. Or I'm awake for the first time and all that was before was just a dream. Walt Whitman

@Danielle No, you haven't gone insane. You experienced ego death. Pretty cool isn't it! Now when you hear something about enlightenment it will have true meaning for you even though you may have heard it hundreds of times before.

I agree. It integrated everything nicely.

Humble yourself.

I'm sitting here now looking over an angry ocean as the waves come crashing in. And I think, what am I compared to the awesome forces at hand? Do I really know anything at all?

When I'm aware of awareness it opens up a larger headspace that is normally not directly experienced. It's not that awareness isn't always present, just woefully unappreciated for it's depth and beauty.

I base myself more on my future theses days, so that view can shift.

Great question! Everybody has a core person. Self evident here on the forum. How deep does each core really go? Is there an essence of that self that precedes- proceeds it? Or is it a one trick pony?
