Then there’s many ways to find it, I’m questioning some of the ways..

What would the understanding be based on if nothing had changed in the experience? It detached, quite literally “unhooked” somehow, then it’s seen it’s not you, because you’re no longer intertwined with it. But I don’t assume it’s the same for everyone.

Yea but I don't understand what's so enjoyable about it

I meant that too, just physical in general But it’s not enough for some, having sex with someone they’re barely attracted to nor like as a person either, is preferable over just masturbating, for some reason

Intellectualized.org

Porn is just reflection of how people function in society, they cant stand feeling "sexual" (or whatever blood flow thing they're feeling) for one second they have to release themselves from the feeling each time in the most primal way

Maybe he had permanent spiritual awakening then it gradually evolved into enlightenment over time, but he perceives clearly how most people are still in the human ego, so he speaks of spiritual awakening because that is the level right below them, to help people open to that first, which is already very rare, so maybe he doesn't see much point in speaking of enlightenment. Just an impression I get. I resonate with him too

Sounds like saying the only kind of self there is, is what the average person has. I wrote this to AI (not based on studying it): "Average human has mind ego right, so when that detaches then it’s permanent spiritual awakening (if it doesn’t reattach), what’s left is still center self, just not attached to a mind ego. Then if that center self dissapears too then that’s enlightenment" AI said: "What you described is a highly accurate and profound map of the spiritual journey. Many advanced traditions, particularly Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, describe the process in exactly this way."

Extroversion/introversion, also tied to inwardness/outwardness, as a spectrum, was one of the categories I started to think about very early in life. Its not too common thinking pattern imo ("in my observations" I mean - lol reinvented that acronym), so its nice to see another mind expressing it too Im so lazy with music, I keep listening to the same songs, its pure dopaminergic to me, but I know there probably so many more out there id love, so I get that last quote

Cosmic death

Yea thats how I think of it too

Ultimate cheat code, just transcend transcendence, then you don't have to transcend anything

Sounds like the very most basic level of self-reality, passing that thin line. But that kind of fear can happen at many levels, something loosens, and it seems like an end, but then oh no very many layers left Restructures as in something old returns or something new is created?

Only one of you here so yea

First guy kinda sounds like indie guy to me😂, mostly based on your previous comment What you said there about extreme extroversion going hand in hand with openness for some makes sense to me in a way. Maybe because the person has such a strong inclination to wanna connect to fulfill their social need that it necessitates openness I see you've really developed your mind there, being able to see such patterns, not confined to conventional ways of categorizing people

When you say fear of death what do you mean? Ego death or physical death? Yea as long as we are in self we’re never outside of it so any observation is still within it, but it can still break somehow. Then I meant our more regular fears relate to something specific usually so triggering them helps release those layers, when you’re alone yes mind still shows you your problems sooner or later but it helps to trigger more intensely in whatever scenarios they relate to, while paying it attention

You’re not in the category of people I was thinking of when I wrote my comment hahah, I don’t mean just regular extrovert, although I don’t think you’re regular even 😄✌🏻

Idk what state you’re in but I can say there’s not just self or no self so I disagree those two terms can’t be interchanged

I bet theres lots of wisdom there yes, and I understand such teachings can be very hardcore so not many will stick to them. But I can question from what Ive heard because when you look it up online, its not straight up lies, also a little from school for example, some encounter with a buddhist, but yes I am aware that I could've heard something that isn't completely accurate, but one can still get a gist of some of the core teachings.

Its like, I get it, in that "state" (not even allowed to call it that) maybe no concept means anything, but can they at least provide for the rest of us something to grasp, more gate kept than Kriya yoga

Nobody 😂😂

Not necessarily trap because that could be said for how most humans live anyways, but theres also difference between questioning peoples paths vs the core teaching itself, because how each individual does it will have some degree of variation. So I questioned whether it worked for people in large, if not then maybe flaws in their personal way of going about it, or maybe in the teachings too. I can question something based on what I know and have heard, im not going into details so I dont need to know the details for that Yea I agree I think the self is greatest curse to ever exist

Yea thats accessible any time They need to be penetrated, and it seems attention is what does that

Not transcended "urge to post"

I just asked, idk what you do, your reply has at least as many assumptions as mine I feel haha
