What is romance? Romance is an appreciation for the existence of something. An intense observation and recognition of the beauty of something and then a desire to express that beauty or reflect that beauty in discussion, song, poem, painting, movie and beyond. We wanna capture it and share it, and even though we know we cannot capture the purity of the essence that we experienced, undaunted we clumsily try anyway. This is romance, this is communication, this is a sharing of the love we have for something, this IS LIFE!!! If you do not have romance, you cannot appreciate life, and you cannot know LOVE.

You can also do pretend exercises like an Actor. Imagine something you can't stand right now. Maybe a painful memory from your past, or create a short dream scenario of an intense angerable offense. Now when anger arises...allow it to express and notice it JUST HAPPENS. Anything thatsgoes against your values/beliefs that you have not come to terms with will create a reactionary emotion. Notice how you can observe it and not get pulled into it. We are always aware...but the spiritual practice involves one of two things. You can place awareness on awareness itself which is concentration, or you can just sit....or lie down...and don't put awareness on anything. Both achieve the same outcome.

1. There is truth is everything a person says...no matter how small. Why? Because each person is God...and God is the truth. 2. The only way to have OTHER, God has to configure a combination of characteristics to imagine a difference. This imagined difference creates a unique perspective. So each perspective of God collectively makes up the ABSOLUTE, and they are all looking at the same thing and filtering it through their perspective. 3. Since each perspective has a bias, that bias creates a distortion of the truth. So we all are both lying and telling the truth based on our unique configuration. Some of our biases are social/psychological conditioning, and some of it is biological (you could fuse the psychological with the biological if you want or you could say psychosocialbiological conditioning lol I just made a new word) and these create our unique perspective. 4. The Absolute can only be pointed too and the funny thing is....some on here...try to pin the Absolute down by saying it is ONLY all ONE lol and try to exclude INFINITY (I've done it in the past before I realized I was being dogmatic) as just an illusion and that only INFINITY is true. The irony is....without mystical experiences, without mystical teachings and NDE's etc....every human would have NEVER awoken to the truth until the death of their body. So notice....they thoroughly believed whole-heartedly that the life they lived was REAL. Yet....when you awaken to the possibility that it can be perceived as ONE consciousness, and all boundaries collapse...you say well it is an illusion and only the Absolute is the truth and the Relative is the illusion. This makes me laugh. Why? Because in an attempt to create unison they create a duality by calling the relative untrue and the Absolute true, does creating difference. LOL Oh their logical games.... The relative is only temporary because God wills it to be. If God so desired...God could FREEZE EVERYTHING in PLACE. You do it all the time when you pause a movie, or video you are watching lol. Anyway God is whatever it presently appears as...to deny that is to deny what is...which is a denial of the truth...so many get so lost in the Spiritual Path that they don't realize it isn't linear it is cyclical. You have to deny the present truth of your duality, open up your mind to the possibility of Non-Duality, but then also acknowledge that your present experience is still a felt duality. That last part gets lost on most practitioners and they go around speaking Non-Duality while NEVER EVER living from that state. Basically they are pretenders which is what the ego loves to do....pretend. You will know an Enlightenment Mind when you observe what they say. Because Enlightened Minds..speak the truth of their experience, while pretenders can only philosophize, and intellectualize.

Depends on what your definition of wrong is. For some trying not to be wrong, is never accepting that you could be wrong. But trying not to be wrong is functional when it is motivated by a desire for accuracy. Again authenticity rains supreme. An authentic desire to not be wrong will come with open-mindedness, intellectual curiosity, and a desire to find both consistency and inconsistency. A desire for exploration and integration. An inauthentic desire will aim to win ideological disputes and discussions and to close all challenges to their paradigms. Everything depends on authenticity....that is why a desire for truth cannot be separated from authenticity.

Lol I don't think his third eye has opened where he is conjuring up astral eels that talk to him as spirit guides.

How do you want to be treated? Look at situations from their perspective and ask yourself....if I was them (Which you are LOL) how would I like that person (Which you think is only you) to respond to me. It takes a lot of experience being on the other side of things for empathy to develop. Sympathy is when you can intellectually cognize what someone is going through, empathy is when you can draw from a prior experience an emotional understanding of what the other person is expressing. This is why visualization is so powerful. If you can train your imagination to put yourself in situations of pain and terror then you can leave from those experiences with a WELLSPRING of deep empathy. This is the true value of BAD TRIPS, or suffering in your personal life. It gives you an intimate connection with vulnerability which is the NUMBER ONE FEAR. The number one fear is to be vulnerable....and the funny thing is....vulnerability is intimacy....and the path of Enlightenment is the path of intimacy....LOL. The best thing that ever happened to me was I was bullied and ostracized as a child, and my parents beat me physically as a form of punishment. LOL. It was the greatest blessing in my entire life...but man was it HELL to live through it.

To show you some more how many of you logical types don't understand love....love is irrational. For example. Jesus said " 38 You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40 if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; 41 and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. 43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and ‘Hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Now does any of this seem rational? NO!!!! Why the hell would you offer your other cheek when someone slaps you? Why would you give more when someone sues you for something? Are you getting it? Love is NOT rational....it is counter to survival. The more survival oriented you are...the less loving you are!! This is not to judge you obviously, it is to show you that your mind operates on conditions. This means you operate based on time, efficiency, and personal satisfaction over what you call inconvenience or a waste of time because your personal affairs matter MORE. To raise in Self-Love it's about being able to expand your identity to the point where inconvenience does not exist in your mental vocabulary. Notice....the theme is unconditional.....conditions is about risk management, self-preservation, comfort, walls/barriers/boundaries/territory, violence, separation, discrimination, judgment, pre-judgment/prejudice. The closer you get to God....the less you care about the above. This is why God from the human perspective...is INSANE. There is a term its called DIVINE MADNESS....that's a good description lol.

How raising your Self-Love works. Each person is a individualized/compartmentalized configuration in the Mind of God. All Baseline Enlightenment is, is dissolving this compartmentalization which are metaphysical walls in your mind that block you from realizing that what you think is OTHER is YOU. For example thinking there is an external world is one of the imagined walls you have constructed/imagined that prevent you from baseline awareness. Now how you raise your Self-Love is based on everything you did prior to the Spiritual Path. Your ability to love this configuration you call yourself is PARAMOUNT. Because the love you have for your configuration is the love you have for EXISTENCE. There is no difference between love of your avatar and love of existence. They are the same!!! Now here is where it gets tricky. All of your belief systems, particularly the ones that revolve around VALUE, and the WORTHINESS of something these are your conditions that you erected to make something WORTHY of love. So the barrier to Enlightenment is your beliefs about WORTH, VALUE, when it comes to Love. This is why people who are overly logical cannot know love because their love is always being housed in reason. These people struggle to endure in relationships because they struggle with forgiveness. This eventually backfires on them because at some level they have the same flaws and they will either crucify themselves for falling short, or deny that flaw entirely. Personally the one who crucifies himself is doing better because at least they have self-awareness it's the one who denies his flaws that is the most lost. This is why I said honesty is so important. What you don't realize is gaslighting comes from a lack of Self-Honesty. Understand that God has to gaslight itself to dream itself as a human. So how do you become aware that you are gaslighting yourself? From a desire to be as truthful as possible. This means when you don't know something...you admit it. This means when you forgot something you admit it. When you pretend to know things you don't know what happens is you lose the ability to discern. Majority of people lack discernment, in fact they lack reading and speech comprehension entirely. Why? Because they have a habit of lying so much their brains are literally designed to take shortcuts in understanding something. This isn't because they are DUMB, it is just lying makes you DUMB. I need you to really understand this. Many of my friends have asked me in the past about the the value of honesty and after I explained this to them they now realize the inherent value of honesty. But....they still cling to their habits of conditional honesty...they still make justifications. It hurts them like HELL when I point out to them....you are playing the same game as those you complain about. Now slowly they are starting to improve but then they have another problem....since they had me in their life sharing these concepts....when they get in relationships they struggle because their partners are more dishonest than they are and are lost in their own minds. The core of every relationship, is honesty. Honesty and intimacy are the ONE. You cannot be intimate if you are dishonest. What do you think Enlightenment is? There is NOTHING more intimate than Enlightenment!! When you become Enlightened you will FEEL the world move WITHIN YOU. Understand this!!! You think physical sex is intimate? LOL......Enlightenment is constant intimacy. This is why fear of intimacy is the biggest barrier. When Leo says in his videos you are selfish...he is talking about metaphysical intimacy. This is why all those who deny love....aren't awake. You are not going to become ONE as a baseline experience until you are okay....being so intimate with experience...that you literally BECOME RAW EXPERIENCE, or rather awaken to the fact that you ARE RAW EXPERIENCE. To awaken to that, is to love it to DEATH. You love it so much you dissolve your imagined/constructed/erected physical barriers and are no longer physical.

Are you on a substance? Your mind is all over the place. Your communication is very chaotic....

Breakingthewall why forget the word dream.....why not forget all words? Notice how selective you are, this is a bias. This is what I am talking about...you are lost in concepts, and then project that onto me and claim I am lost in concept. I'm not. I communicate VERY clearly. There is no difference between a thought and a dream. Close your eyes. If I say think of an apple, you will create an image of an apple in your mind. That apple...is a DREAM!!! The same stuff that apple you just conjured up in your mind...is literally made of the same stuff as all of existence. This is why we say it's a dream. Because if I ask you what the apple is made of you thought of you will say nothing....you might even say it doesn't exist under the human definitional understanding of what existence is. Well if that apple doesn't exist...then neither does this present moment. The truth is there is both existence and non existence at the same time. Because what you call existence is whatever you are aware of. This is the game God plays....it imagines something and is then aware of what it imagined. What you call your life is just sensations that are being imagined. To imagine something is to THINK IT. So you could call your entire life just a thought. You see a dream is a COLLECTION of thoughts, so its just semantics whether you call it a thought or a dream. But you have a very rigid mind that is very particular, notice you resist changing the way it is phrased. That resistance is just bias, and ego, which makes it hard to broaden your perspective and take in more of what you are...

Oh and don't assume for a minute this is easy....for example....can you love feces, insects, and other things you hate that you can identify as them too? Can you have metaphysical sex with the smell of feces, the texture of feces..... can you FEEL insects crawling within you and be perfectly okay with that? Enlightenment is NOT what you think it is LOL.

Now your getting it!! This is what I am pushing on the forums although I won't say it's impossible it will just be harder. The more arrogant and judgmental of an ego you construct the harder it will be to deconstruct it. Why? Because to grow in self-love it has to make sense for you to do so. As you seek inward and get closer to truth you will receive intuitive messages of loving someone who did you wrong, of learning to accept all that you hate as good. To a person who is conditioned heavily in kill or be killed and that value comes from achievement instead of inherent existence this will be an ordeal. My own individual ego was built on a desire for truth and love and my Gateway video was Leo's video on everyone acts from good intentions. That one video most people COULD NOT make it all the way through much less be able to accept it and integrate it. But unless you do....you are not going to reach baseline acceptance. Why? Because identity is METAPHYSICAL, Leo mentioned this once and I confirmed it. What does this mean? To be able to become Enlightened you need to be able to open your mind and imagine a possibility that everything you perceive is YOU. Do you know how much self-hatred you would have to purge to identity with individuals whose life choices completely conflict with your own? If you are big on personal responsibility and accountability people who make excuses, lie, cheat, and take shortcuts in life are going to piss you off lol. If you are a very giving person, how could you accept that everything you consider evil...is actually being done by YOU? So yeah people who enter that hyper-competitive Body-Building may struggle to deconstruct their mind to accept people as them who are not as driven. I won't go too deep into why it is so hard, just know your greatest fear is to BE LIKE THE PEOPLE YOU HATE that is why you fear understanding much, less entertaining their perspective at all. This fear is valid from a survival stand point....but it is a denial of a crazy truth. That truth is every person you meet is YOU living another life. Which means....if I gave you their body, their brain, their memories and all the events from past to present, you would be them ABSOLUTELY. So you are literally judging and fighting with yourself LOL. This realization...is the funniest shit ever!!!

Of course lol....because this thread talks about a truth we all share...we are all in love with whatever we share....this is romance!!! When you talk about your trials and tribulations and your perspective you are talking about things you are intimately involved with. What people demonize as attachments...is just...romance!!! Without romance...we would have nothing because this is how we express our love. I dropped this thread...so people can understand what Love is. Our zest for life comes from appreciation. The only reason you give up your attachments in search of truth is as a romantic gesture, an expression of your love for truth. It's like coming to somebody you want to marry and you say I will give up my entire life for you as an expression of my love. Problem is....most aren't ready to do that....the path to awakening is an inner romance. THIS is how SELF-LOVE is raised.

You got it!!! LOL.

I personally advocate micro-dosing if you want to raise your baseline. I need everyone to understand this....your baseline is raised by increasing your self-love. Now it goes too fold. You need to increase your love for your human self, then increase your love for existence itself. The path to increase Self-Love is the path of appreciation. Appreciation is synonymous with the creation of art, romance, recognizing beauty. Basically the ability to drop judgment. Micro-dosing, and deconstructing can help you enter a state of consciousness that allows you to much easier perceive the beauty and majesty of existence. This is why solitude is so important so you can get away from distractions so you can focus on connecting to this Self-Love.

That Electrocution is probable a precursor to a Kundalini Awakening. I guess your Spiritual Journey is now officially beginning.

Shhhh don't stop it...I'm here for all of it!!

Breakingthewall you know you are all over the place recently.....I need you to realize...that you project a lot. For example you said a dream implies an agent...how? Explain to me how a dream implies an agent? Because when you lose consciousness....where is the agent? When you regain consciousness where is the agent? You don't have an agent when you sleep at night. I could give you a drug that knocks you out and you go blank, then you could wake up in a dream, and then into the waking dream. Where is the agent? You see? YOU are imagining an agent in this scenario and then claiming we are implying an agent. A dream does not need an agent. And a mind....is not physical....a mind is the same as saying...a screen. Notice...you have only ever seen a screen. This screen is transparent and holographic which is why it can go blank and not be seen because it needs light to be imagined to be seen. So this is why it is said you are the LIGHT because you IMAGINE LIGHT to be seen. So NOTHING can be seen until you IMAGINE LIGHT, or ENLIGHTEN yourself.

You know the best analogy you could have used is just say try to explain the color red to a blind person lol.

Let's just say some Realizations...hurt like hell. Existential Crises are no joke. I could say something about this thread....that could cause an Awakening (you never know) and put someone through a downward spiral. I know sometimes I confuse people on here but genuinely from my heart I truly wish the best for all on here. I don't wish harm on anyone here and through my direct experience I have seen how brutal this Spiritual Process is.

Because I am conscious of what love is. When you become conscious of what you are...then you will know love. I'm surprised you are still stuck in your current paradigm when you took 5 MEO DMT if that couldn't wake you up to what Love is...then that means you are too stuck, too in love, with your limited framework. Attachment is love. That alone should tell you what love is. Notice you cannot FORCE yourself to stop doing what you love. You have to negotiate with yourself and convince yourself something is better for you. Which is love. Whenever you use force, it only works temporarily whereas on a daily basis you always surrender to what you love. Without love nothing is alive, Love is the miracle that turns nothing into something. The reason why many of you cannot live from a Non-Dual State is because you judge nothing as not real, and run back to your 3D materialist paradigm because you love that conception of Life over the empty Non-Dual state. That right there proves the power of love. You block your own permanent awakening because you don't love it. And you can't force yourself to love it. It's why unless you grow your self-love you will NEVER permanently change your state to a Non-Dual lived state. That is why I use the word love. I speak from direct experience.

You don't know what love is....that is why you say that, Love is undefinable...therefore...everything is love. Love is ONENESS therefore it cannot be broken. Love cannot be contrasted, because Consciousness, Imagination, Nothing IS LOVE.

You got it!!!! Can't escape yourself....because you are everywhere and nowhere LOL.
