    @Aakash Vijayan the thought of you needing therapy for this comes across ridiculous to me. 

    I'm with @Blackhawk on this one. Clearly being with her is not making you happy. Break up with her. Find someone who will care about your feelings instead of treating this relationship like some sort of corporate contract. She needs to care about you as much as you care about her.

    Plus, trust your intuition, bro. If you find her behaviour unsettling than chances are it's really not just in your head.

    Spirituality should only be done for a desire for truth/love of self and all of reality

    I'd say this is an ideal, with the retrospect that all of life is for the desire/love for truth of self. And that it's the strength of this desire which is a variant, or the level of the love (the spirit for the ‘game’) which varies.

    Why? Because it is the most dangerous path. There is no more dangerous path out there.

    It is also truth that there is no other path out there, considering the destination of life is one and the same.

    You are literally tinkering with your sanity

    I mean .. maybe from an external pov. But I don't see how one could lose their mind in a practice which only ever demands more (and more) mindfulness in order for there to be progress. Sounds a bit contradictory to me.

    I have realized now why so many get trapped in different aspects of spirituality, it is because they HAVE TOO due to fear. The two biggest obstacles to going deep enough into Spirituality is attachment to self and others, and the fear of insanity. 

    Well sure, but this goes with anything. I mean fear is the general obstacle to doing anything new. And fear can only result from attachment to “self”. So I wouldn't designate this to the domain of learnt spirituality seeing how it defines life quite generally.

    . Let me ask, are you willing to go insane for the truth?

    Who would be the judge, though?

    Are you willing to lose everything for truth? Are you willing to lose everything you have ever loved and hated for the truth?

    You could still lose everything even if you're on a non-mystical path. It's just the reality of life trying to communicate an undetected truth that you're not understanding willingly. Life is just communicate like that, it's either we learn the easy way or hard way. That's literally what karma is - built up lessons needed to be learned.

    Is god the creator of all things? Is god all things itself? What is god? Is god all powerful? What is power?

    if there is a god, wouldn’t it likely have the authority to say what it is above any other being?

    God is considering all of those ideas, including the ones that you haven't mentioned. God is constantly wandering, thus s/he is constantly thinking, therefore God is constantly creating. Hence, reality is imagination, and it's energy is thought.

    I wouldn't recommend going further without the proper groundwork. This path is for those who have found instability in the outside world, due to their evolving consciousness, and stability in the inner world - the real world.

    Although, this almost certainly depends on the guidance of your intuition. What exactly does your intuition tell you? Are you ready? Should you take things a bit slower? Or leave this path entirely? I only recommend that if you do proceed, you do so with the, shall we say, proper footing.

    @A Fellow Lighter Im not really sure what kind of feedback I was looking for either. Maybe just someone like you saying "ye that seems about right" cause I am always unsure if what I think is complete bullshit and kind of expect people to react like that when I express my thoughts. So thanks for that feedback I guess haha

    Okay.. that's cool, man.

    Of course, it is your responsibility to keep track of your definitions and see if they actually do apply in the grand scheme of things. 

    If they prove themselves useful and actually serve then they aren't bullcrap. If not, then you'll have to reconsider their meaning.

    I've Realised the Energy of Creation

    By Energy, I don't mean anything physical about it. By Energy, I simply mean that which enables reality. And I've finally realised what that is. After having had my grandest Self-Realisation as Mind, the gradual deepening of this awareness has led me to realise how I'm doing all of this, how I'm creating this experience as it is. Because I've tapped into its raw Energy, my Energy, as the Mind. 

    That which enables the Creation is THOUGHT

    That's it. There's nothing else! This is the only Energy in all of Infinity. It's actually really really obvious, like I'm talking right-in-your-face obvious but, then again, not that easily realised. 

    Of course, if one still considers the mind and matter to be two distinct or even separate things then this truth won't be so obvious, and this message will allude you entirely. And if one still believes that Energy is an entirely physical thing then this post is as good as nonsense to you. Energy is no substance or any form of matter, it is pure Thought.

    The truth is for you, and only for you, to realise.

    See, I've realised something, and what I've realised is truth. I'm not expecting people to agree or disagree, from me posting this. I'm only asking you to reconsider your perceptions of what we call physical matter and physical energy. Science doesn't know what these things truly are. Their definition is the equivalent of unknown, but because of their descriptions and formulas, it is as though they do know. So it is up to you to find out the truth.

    The meaning of Thought

    Quite plainly, to think is to consider the meaning of an idea. That's all that the word means. Obviously it's not the meaning of this word that I've realised, but something it hints to which is far more marvelous. The Energy of Creation. 

    The Creation is a Thought. The Laws of this reality are directly proportional to the mode in which the Creator/You/I think. 

    This mode of thinking is what we can call consciousness. And that's that. The physical matter you observe around you is the mere reflection of your Mind. Matter = Mind I'm not talking about two separate things, here, I am literally saying that everything you feel, see, here, and touch is the actual fabric of your Mind.

    The Mind is not a thing, it's a Being. It's an activity, it is you.. doing stuff.

    The Meaning of Life? = The Meaning of Self?

    What is the Creator thinking about? Same thing you're thinking about, and always thinking about. The Creator is thinking about One's Self, or what it means to be One's Self, for to think is to consider the meaning of an idea. The Self is that idea. You, whoever you are, whatever your name is, you're only an idea - a point of reference for the Creator to ponder it's infinity - its absolute Being. 

    The Creator is asking: What does it mean to be Infinity?  And this life is it's Thought-Experiment 

    What I've gained from my realisations

    I am gradually and genuinely merging more and more with the fabric of reality, and become less and less fearful of what is seen as danger or harm, knowing the experiences of life to be merely the catalysts or charge for my grand rise of Self-Realisation and what it means to be here, to be me. 

    These are some pretty heavy metaphysical principles that I'm dropping here. I've not even gotten to the hows of my realisation - just the whats. My goal is neither showing off or coming across as a know-it-all, but I simply wish to inspire you to question everything. Like I said, the truth is quite obvious, but it takes honesty to realise it. Be honest about what you know and what you don't know, don't pretend, don't believe, and I guarantee the same progress in your journey too. 

    Godspeed

    That's the problem. I can't seem to muster up a new vision. I redid the LP course all over again since this issue started. Still couldn't feel any spark. My values list doesn't spark me anymore.

    Also, it's not like my vision was old. It's relatively recent, even now (not even 2 years old yet). I suddenly lost complete interest in it when it was around 8 months old, when it previously got me moving and made me feel alive and was what made me love life

    Well there has to be some turn around point that left you feeling indifferent. What happened, seeing that your vision is relatively fresh? 

    8 hours ago, ThePoint said:

    That's like a 10x increase in frequency compared to when I still had my 'old self' and wasn't neurotic.

    I see. But still though, it shouldn't be the focus. Let us rather treat this as a sign than as the main problem.

    Your life having no vision is the main problem, being without passion for life. How often you masturbate will indicate your level of passionless living.

    still had some problems with food when I wasn't masturbating as much, but I am open to this being a possibility.

    Ok cool. The clarification is good. 

    I wasn't diagnosing you, by the way, I just took it from your post that this was the reason why you are overeating.

    Yes. This is good. Make notes, too, as to what would work and what wouldn't, along with the reasons. Try to be creative with this process, even, maybe something approachable will appear. Really immerse yourself in this, buddy.

    8 hours ago, ThePoint said:

    May I ask you what is your reason to live?

    I really wish I could tell you, brother. Unfortunately this isn't something I can communicate. My reason isn't even a reason, so to say, only the recognition of truth: that love is God, and I am hopelessly my father's son.

    But even so I guess I should try to tell you. The reason is because I care about life, unconditionally. I just care about all of it, even my part of living it. And there is literally no reason for this caring, but I just find myself caring. It's irrational.

    I do, of course, have a vision for my life. I have plans and goals, and passionate about them. I remember how, without having had discovered these passions, how I was pretty much like you. But now I'm doing much better. Leo's content was very helpful.

    I have zero motivation to do anything with my life.

    Obviously this is the source of the problem. So we start here.

    On 07/02/2022 at 8:09 AM, ThePoint said:

    The vision I had for my life... the vision that drove me to work every day to become who I wanted to become... it's gone. I don't care about it anymore. And this makes me feel sorrowful. Why don't I feel motivated by it anymore? Why don't I care about it anymore? HOW DOES ONE SUDDENLY LOSE PASSION FOR SOMETHING THEY WERE ONCE WILLING TO BLEED AND DIE FOR!!??

    You outgrew the vision. It's really not that odd of a thing, nor should it be the hardest to believe. Individuals grow, along with their level of awareness and sense of reality. The vision you had about your life belonged to a younger and outgrown version of you, it does not resonate with the current you. 

    You need a new vision, one in alignment with your current beliefs and inspiring enough to actually aspire for. However, this vision should not be materialist and egoistic in its essence, it should not be centered around consumerism and getting laid. Not that there is anything wrong with those things by themselves, it's only the simple recognition that they don't fulfill you anymore.

    On 07/02/2022 at 8:09 AM, ThePoint said:

    How do I stop masturbating for good? How do I stop compulsively eating food for good? 

    This shouldn't be your focus in the changing of your life, seeing as you still masturbated even when you had a vision that you were passionate about. Plus, you eating compulsively is just a reaction to the excessive masturbation. 

    For now, just focus on finding a good enough reason to live for.

    Wasn't that perspective the root of what you are referring to as OneSelf?

    I'm not sure. The acknowledgement of Oneself, here, is only to the teaching/learning query. Initially we had not quite gotten into this topic of the stages of awakening.

    56 minutes ago, RevoCulture said:

    could play that angle.  I understand it.  I could jump on the band wagon that says that is all there is, cause there is truth in it.  But I believe that perspective is a stage in awakening, it isn't the final destination.  Paradoxical to people who think "well if One is all there is how can it not be the final conclusion?"  That is for each of us to figure out.  No rush, no right or wrong.  

    Sorry, this isn't quite the matter I intended to get into - that is your and people's perspectives on awakening. Whether it is believed to be conclusive or not is of no importance to me.

    The question I'm actually trying to ask isn't a general one. I was actually asking you, @RevoCulture , what you suppose the meaning of existence/life is, as an absolute being, meaning without relation to anything else, since You are OneBeing?

    I believe that this is the question that the Absolute asked in the creation of the Light: “I am all that there is. Now what does it mean to be me?” 

    People also ask the question, however, on the level of their human existence. People ask: “What is the meaning of Life?” rather than, “What does it mean to be me, the Oneself?” It really is the same question. 

    Of course, the answer does not exist in words. It exists as the entire universe. Hence I'm not expecting anyone, including you, to answer it. Rather to contemplate this.

    This is what we're here to learn.

    From the perspective of the deepest expression, life is simply teaching itself, there is "no teaching between one person and another."  Or you possibly mean that the other may bring something to the forefront but when we engage with it, the engagement exists between us, the thing, and reality.  The other exists just outside that bubble.  This would be up a couple layers of manifested form.

    Yes, the former: Life, Being, is teaching Itself.

    I do learn from people.

    This would imply that the source of your learning is “other” people. What I'm suggesting is that the source is your own Willingness to learn. The illusion of “others” only serves as a catalyst. Behind the shell that is the human form is no “other” only You. Hence I say: We are One, for we are One. There is only OneBeing, OneSelf.

    Of course, in One's experience of life, S/he will discover a variety of perspectives or minds, a variety of spirits and forms. This is not to say One should ignore these varieties, for these varieties are instrumental in learning what it means to be OneSelf. 

    Do you know what it means to be You, to be OneSelf?

    @RevoCulture wow man, your mind is amazing. Thank YOU, brother, for such an elaborate post. I actually did enjoy reading it, as you predicted. So a huge THANK YOU for that.

    What's most surprising to me is, as you suspected, the level of sync in our perspectives though not necessarily reflected by our language use. I mean you basically did what I've always struggled to do with words - that is managing to formulate good enough statements that express your thoughts. This is no doubt my constant struggle, hence, in my mapping of logic, I've resorted to using phrases that appear, as you have detected, all new age and hippie-ish. 

    So, of course, I agree with you when you say that we need a new language, one which doesn't have any preconceptions to it. But, as you've for sure taken note yourself, this cannot happen with a whole rebirth of Culture. I mean English isn't even my native tongue but I can definitely spot all the flaws in trying to teach spirituality with it. In my opinion, It because it lacks in lore and mythological poetry for it to be able to be used. But anyway let's not really get into this part as of yet.

    For now I'm just going to show you all the  synchronicity in our perspectives.

    Within my purview everything is spirit or spiritual, it isn't possible for something to not be spiritual.

    This is my perspective as well. Exactly as you've written it.

    I also hold the tenant that there isn't a thing or an act that is more or less spiritual than another.  Perspective is synonymous with spirit in my usage.

    Of course, life is spirituality, whether we admit it or not.

    The average person, however, hears those words and it comes preloaded with lots of connections and content.  Thus, my conflict.

    Yes, this is true. Of course, any phrase or any word will mean something to anyone who speaks the language. So when I say “relation” I am only attempting to communicate that experiential reference rather than the preconception. Another way of putting this is saying, no one will understand your experiences if they have not experienced the same, they will not be able to relate. 

    Therefore, the phrase Love for Light cannot help will not have a human relation to it.. only those preconceptions. And the reason there won't be this relation is precisely because of this ?

    Combine that grip with the fact that humanity is psychologically designed to crave the familiar and certainty, a place within the tribe, and we have a situation. The majority of humans seek a place within what is present, they want to preserve what is, no peeling just preserving.  They say they want growth and progress, they believe they want growth and progress, and they do want growth and progress but... There is power and status to be had in owning what everyone has agreed to be truth.  There is comfort to be found certainty, to proclaim we have it. 

    See? These are the conditions that prevent human beings from knowing the Love for Light. Not to say that the Light exists only in certain experiences and not in other experiences. No.

    The Light is absolutely everywhere all the time, it is omnipresent. It is only a matter of the level of frequency that man's love for Light is oscillating at. And in my experience, that very level of light frequency is a mirror of the level of Love for, say, “the Truth” about the nature of oneself, or the Knowledge of Oneself.

    The truth is man cannot tune into this God level of Spirit, this level of pure Love for Light, without having first befriended Death. And again, I say this from experience, not a theory, for I myself have done exactly this. This was the first order of business in my initiation into learned spirituality.

    What is the goal, to give people a sense of beauty or to awaken them to beauty?  Do we want language and imagery that points to something or do we want to arrive, become, be?

    I took me quite a while to understand that a person cannot learn for another, thus, no real teaching occurs between one person or another. It is only ever between one person and life itself, if you may pardon this misnomer. 

    So if I may rephrase this entirely: we are here to learn from the Dream, and having Awakenings is the sure sign of the lesson being learnt. There is no real Awakening without the new found Awareness to back it up in one's overall Life Orientation (Behaviour).

    Elements of history that are collectively held out as terrible, Nazi etc, don't hold the same weight with me. My perspective on most things don't align with dominant narrative.  The terrible isn't terrible which also means the flowery beauty isn't flowery beauty either, don't get one without the other.

    You couldn't have said it better. Of course I hope you can understand that choosing these scenarios is for the reinforcement of social belief. I only chose them for the sole purpose of communicating the message of universal awakening progress/work by our collective Mind. As no one journey is a more true or more authentic than the other, for the destination is always the same for everyone.

    P.S. I hope I did as much a justice as you in expressing my thoughts.

    perspective that provides peace through knowing the broadest of brush strokes, a framework. 

    Yep. I've even assigned a name to such a perspective in my spiritual work. I call it the Love for Light. Although I would add that this is more of a Spirit than a perspective, simply because it is living. So.. a living perspective, if you will. 

    The name-phrase, Love for Light, doesn't really have a human relation to it as.. seeing how our collective Mind hasn't yet reached this level of perspective due to all the egotistical biases and all. So I don't expect that name to make any massive sense. But it does to me. Hence the universal recognition A Fellow Lighter

    In my opinion we can not choose to be compassionate, loving, or accepting.  We can try to be.  We can desire to be.  Only a truthful experiential union with the components of reality that represent those expressions allow us to be those things, to become those things.

    Yes, of course. I mean for as long as you haven't penetrated the soul of some thing or some body, how could you realise the Oneness, the Spirit, the Cosmic Mind that you share with those “other” expressions? We are everything within and around us right now. We only lack the proper perspective to be conscious of this.

    To know thyself.  The aspects of reality that must be engaged and known directly through personal approach, the willingness to become them, isn't for most. 

    Well, I could actually argue that it's for all of us, rather than least or even most of us. See, we are all One. And so any effort to be engaged in this knowing endeavour is, at all times, a collective human effort. Individuality in its common sense is an absolute illusion. We all share the same body - that is the Body of Human Consciousness. It is a single organism, actually. This isn't theoretical by the way, it is completely experiential.

    However, on the ego-level of our human beingness, yes, the willingness isn't for most. Though it is equally important to realise how Hitler and the Nazis, the Colonialists, and oppressive empires of our history have also played much a role in the revelations of all truths, including the absolute truth, and grand shift of our perspective. It is through the light of the free will of other beings that we learn, step by step, the knowledge of oneself.

    I do believe perspective is the holy grail, the thing we seek whether we realize it or not. 

    And I believe that perspective is but another way of saying Mind: that it's the ultimate Mind that we seek, one that will enable us a broader consciousness than this - our collective current level, a ‘Cosmic Mind’ if you will. So if you ask me, I'd say to evolute our perspective is the thing we seek. Of course, whether we realize it or not.

There are those things that are beyond animal gratification, such as knowing who or what you're really are as well as what you're capable of. That is why actualised.org exists for, isn't it?
