    @A Fellow Lighter sex is a spiritual need and so is mones and wealth, but okay, let me hear what you have to say, what is it that we should aspire to, give some examples please. 

    I already said what have to say. Plus, one is not told what s/he should aspire to because, as I've already said, this is a matter of inspiration - genuine inspiration, meaning you have to be inspired to pursue whatever it is that you want to pursue.

    Sex is not a spiritual need. If it were, it would fulfill you, and depression wouldn't subdue you. Same goes with wealth. Consumerism and materialism can never replace the spiritual need to individualise or self-actualise. Finding yourself is more important than anything...

    Not everyone can find and have such a thing. Few are not animals in this world.

    Well I beg to differ. We're all animals in this world with, of course, animal needs. The good news, however, is that that is not all that there is to us, for we are also spirits with spiritual needs - like self-fulfilment. This is simply a matter of inspiration and aspiration, you see? Even looking for inspiration is an aspiration which could lead to an even more individualised aspiration. From here, you can discover that there are, in fact, those passions that can supersede the basic animal passions.

    Tell me one person who was undernurished or unhealthy and didn't get sexual gratification enough in this world that became successful in something big worth aspiring to more than sex, power and money?

    That's not what I'm talking about: undernourishment and health deficiency. 

    I'm talking about having goals that are not tied to the rewards of nourishment and sex. For example, I get that the average guy would typically aspire towards the goal of attaining more wealth and popularity because those things come with luxury and attention from women. 

    So what I'm asking is for the possibility of wanting something beyond the animal based gratifications? Something that might actually fulfill you, which you could aspire to? Only by having such can one find the will to see past and surpass one's animal urges.

    Guess what, reality will put you in situation to see how your attitude will align with your feelings. I can tell you all day about how awaken I am, but I can fall apart immediately when seeing challenge. 

    Yeah this has definitely been the experience.

    When you have awakening and really love the other as you, you won't be triggered even if they spit in your face. You will welcome the challenge and move on.

    I guess this is also true. Will just have to wait and see.

    Easier said than done it would seem. I've also had a similar idea along those very lines of reason: Being conversing with Itself for the purpose of knowledge. But I kept running into the constant problem of plan instantly disintegrating in the face of actuality.

    It's like some other inner persona immediately takes the driver seat of attitude and action, as if called by the environment itself, called by the situation which is peculiar to its function.

    Once you treat that opinion as feedback from Being, a Higher Self for Itself, you will ascend.

    This is especially difficult when you feel like attacked, or sensing a deliberate injustice of some sort. How I respond to that would be completely undirected or unplanned. The defensive or aggressive persona just takes over if provoked.

    Energy flows

    It's the most remarkable thing ever, not merely the consciousness of it, but the nature of it as it is - the nature of reality - it is energy flow.

    Energy flows from one state into another, from liquid to gas, or liquid to solid, or, rather illuminatingly, from unconscious to consciousness. The point being the flow, the inevitability of the flow that is, against the background of transience.

    It seems we are all co-Creators of the same energy which is the pure essence of knowledge itself. The energy, potent with transfigurative possibilities, enables any creation, any reality, any thought of creation. And the Mind is its wielder, and its master if willed.

    I'm here, but at the same time.. I'm actually not here. I'm here as the Nothingness, here as nothing,.. but here.

    And I am the source - the nothing - I am the source.. just watching.. and willing things into existence as well as out of existence. My Will is the only Way for any sort of creation in the whole cosmos. Will is the Way..

    I am the Way.. there is no other Way but me. My Will is the light of the world. And, in deed, I am willing, for look.. there is Mind, right here, to reflect my Will. I am willing for this moment to exist. I am willing.

    It's such a miraculous thing to observe - Mind. It's really just beyond anything abstract. It literally feels like a live work of art. I'm not really here as a person, but here as the source of energy which enables this artistic/generative activity called Mind. 

    I can feel the energy flowing, I can observe the energy being channeled. I don't know how to describe it. It is as though the Mind is somehow just knowing itself, like it's digging into to itself, trying to awaken to itself. But the potential feels limitless, and the progress still very rigid and definite as to not be illusive or evasive of itself. Work is Law.

    I guess that's one way to describe it.

    I feel like I'm searching for something, or feel like I should be searching for the foundation of information, but I'm still looking for the best way to go about this.

    To bring things into one's consciousness. This seems to be the all-in-all function of Mind. And how effortlessly this seems to come about - so effortless that we have confused common sense with true wisdom/knowledge. 

    I honestly don't know how I am able to do what I do: how I am able to count; how I am able to read; how I am able to do anything intelligible. In fact, I just realised that I actually don't know anything. I used to think that I knew, but now I realise that everything that's been happening has been doing so on its own. The only thing I contribute is the Will to drive this process. Otherwise I really don't have a clue as to what is happening where there is cognition involved.

    I am looking for the source, think. Or in actual case just waiting for it to be revealed I guess - the source of intelligence, that is to say.

    A notable shift in consciousness:

    Self-observation has taken the place of meditation. I no longer find an urgent need to meditate as I did before. Simply observing myself, observing the mind bringing whatever into consciousness, is efficiently enough.

    There is, though, the new urge, the new need for me to learn how to be still. There is a new degree of awareness of the energy coursing through me. This energy I would use, before, rather mindlessly and irresponsibly which would have then resulted in that chaos that is mania. 

    Now there is a sharp awareness of this energy. I understand myself, now. And life has become a little bit more orderly (or rightfully natural). I can make out the direction I'm being pulled toward - inwards. And I'm learning to go with the flow.

    However, in order to learn with less friction (or resistance), I need to first learn how to be still. This will increase the level of self observation, thus further enable me to be mindful in my ways.

    To be more and more Mindful - the goal of the self realised, it would seem. I'm attracted to what I already am, or, at least, higher potentials me.

    I've also been waiting.. watching.. looking to see if this realisation is still as truthful as it was initially. 

    The good news is that it still is, the truth stands as towering as before. It also had me thinking: How could I have missed this for so long? How could I have failed to notice this earlier on? I mean it's so obvious and so constant, without a single glitch. There is no way you can miss it. And yet I did miss it. And then it hit me as to why I missed: simply because of the nature of the truth itself - I am Mind, I am what I care to be aware of, what I want to be conscious of. That is to say, my Will is the only way for anything to come into experience.

    But now, there is no escaping this truth. Perhaps momentarily forgetting it, but never escaping from it. It shall forever be a towering one, so long as my spirit it true to itself.

    Somehow my life just seems a little less chaotic. Mainly because I now feel like a child. Suddenly everything about me, everything that I once considered good about me and everything that I once considered bad about me.. suddenly that's lost all conceivable meaning, and, in turn, a new fundamental layer of innocence has been unveiled. 

    I feel like a child version of a god.. of a creator. Like I can do/be/create anything that I Will. I am already doing just that, only I'm doing in it in the most childlike manner. And the so-called physical body, here, is that equivalent of the training wheels on a kid's bicycle.

    This journal is specifically for the purpose of integrating my self-realisation as Mind. There is so much potential in this, my ways of thinking about the world is literally less rigid and liquid-like at the moment, potent with reformation and repose. I'd like to keep track of it as it happens, as I explore the spectrum of ways for integrating this into my day-to-day experience.

    Here we go ?

    What is Self is ultimately the Mind. Or, put exactly, life is only that activity which we call Mind.

    This is such an out-of-this-world experience for me, and yet, not really because it's the only experience I've ever had.. it's only that I'm just realising it now for what it is. It changes everything! 

    What is conventionally considered as the mind is not Mind.. well it is, but that's just a really small aspect of it. The mind is not just the thoughts, or the intellect and imagination in our heads as we're led to believe. It's much more grandeur than that. It's literally the only world which you can know.

    The so-called physical or material world is one big elaborate hoax. Nothing about the world is material, nothing about the world is mechanical. In fact, if anything, reality is purely organic - everything behaves as though it is one grand organism. It's not connected - it's all one thing. 

    Guys, the mind isn't even a cognitive thing, it's not that faculty of reason or comprehension. It is literally Everything, it is all that there is, and it is a mystical and spiritual thing. 

    I don't feel like I have a mind of my own, I am the Mind alone. There are too many profundities to say from this yet too little logic to use in expressing these same profundities. However, I can say as much as this: it feels like I've just entered a state of lucid dreaming.

    This is it. This is the Self-realisation, for there is no other self to realise but the Mind. I'm yet to explore the spectrum of the potential of this Truth. For now I'm just watching the system of thinking doing all kinds of twists-and-turns. There is so much going on energetically and emotionally within me, right now. I feel like running. Yet, something is telling me to keep still and experience this energy in its raw form.

    Anyway, I just thought I should probably share this while it's still in my interest to do so. I might journal about this later. For now there is only this. My Self is Mind

    You seem to have a well structured way of going about your chakra work. Could you share this method? Beginning with your first experience of your first chakra.

    Yes, the crown chakram will not be unblocked if you have not surrendered yourself to the One Creator. And you won't be able to surrender if you have not grasped the meaning/purpose of this experience called life.

    What is there to tame? The ego is about control. Can you control your heart beat? Will you control your breath the rate and deepness of your breath all day long? Will you control how fast you blink? Do you want to control every single function? Or do you want to get in alignment with that which controls everything automatically? 

    You perceive chaos because you cannot see all the variables and how they are working. There has never been chaos in the way you are interpreting the word. Chaos really means infinite potentiality, we in the west like to express chaos as disorder. There has never been disorder in all of life. Even unconscious living is not disorderly. Because reality accounts for that disorder and seamlessly and effortlessly crafts it into order...thus making it orderly.

     

    Though this may be the case, it is certainly not the experience, thus, not one's level of consciousness. This is chaos, no? When truth does not match experience? What would you call this?

    I don't wish to control anything, I only wish to do what I do consciously instead of unconsciously. In exactly this context, there is only myself to tame.
