Sincerity

Okay so I know this is very funny because "haha ass" but I have a serious question. Every time I switch in the moment into intense concentration on experience/nature of self, my anus clenches inside. It's been like this for a long time now. Been wondering about it often but never cared enough to ask if others relate. So, do you relate? Does anyone have some knowledge on that? Do you think it's better to unclench it every time I notice it, or just disregard it and continue focusing uninterrupted? The way I go about raising state works. I'm just wondering about the muscle clench thing. The anus, and also eg. the sides of my head.

Thanks so much for your responses guys. I appreciate you! I’m not responding to all of them because I simply have nothing to add/comment. But I am taking them under consideration. Y’all are great.

Well, yes. I guess so. One thing I'd say though is that I don't think the ego "does" anything per se, and that the self vs no self boundary is incredibly muddy. There isn't "a" self in truth, even if one is engrossed in selfhood. BUT there is still the possibility of being fooled/believing in lower energies and acting on them, which makes one look "egoic" - even if one has genuinely awoken to being God. The full cleansing of one's energetic landscape is something quite different from awakening/insight into God. One doesn't have to be 100% energetically pure to realize God, and in fact there can be a kind of bipolarity where one can act from very high energy and be aware of Godhood in one day, and then have a lower energy backlash next week. This doesn't invalidate the God awakening and one can still have it in memory, "in the background". It's tricky.

There is zero logical incoherency. There’s two awake people in a room. Awake person 1 says I am God. Awake person 2 nods in approval with a smile. Then, person 2 says I am God. Awake person 1 nods in approval with a smile. There isn’t necessarily anything egoic about I am God. But it always seems that way from (some of) egos’ perspective. There’s nothing wrong about saying it too. It’s a beautiful statement of truth. Obviously, you have to awaken to it to get it.

@Carl-Richard 👍👍

I think it's just better to do your own thing 99% of the time and check with Leo 1% along the way. Instead of testing someone else's claims, just focus on discovering what's true. Follow YOUR inner rabbit. And then you can validate.

Cool!

As if you even know what he's talking about... Seriously, how do you live with this arrogance? It's repulsive.

It can’t be. Trump said he’d be anti-war. 🤣 Let’s see if Professor Jiang will be right after all:

@Davino Perfect. Thank you so much for the educated response! I won’t take anything on blind faith, but I seems like a really good clue. Appreciate ya. Nice. Sounds like there might really be something to Kechari Mudra then. You’re really one of the GOATs here. To me, being led into doing stuff you yourself don’t even understand yet is a pretty telltale sign you’re divinely guided and are on a good path. I call the guidance making you do these things Steerage. Around 2.5 years ago I had a period (~3 months long) where I was deeply immersed into Steerage. For example, I was steered into poking around in my asshole multiple times. I’m not gay and it wasn’t very pleasurable, but I simply had to do it. I’m not sure if there was any „outcome” to it. Another thing: I was doing unknown to me yogic poses in a sequence (I think). I can’t remember what these were, but they were starting with a butterfly leg position while lying down. I was also travelling to weird places I normally wouldn’t ever go to, or inserted money and messages into random people’s car windshields/purses. 😆 ”You will only do your meditation sessions and listen to masters. I will poke around in my asshole and throw messages into random people’s purses. We are not the same.” 🤣

You can bet I’m experimenting with it. I’m just curious of others’ experiences/opinions.

Preach 🔥

When asking existential questions, turn them on yourself. The answers relate to YOU. Always. What is God? -> What am I? Why is there something rather than nothing? -> Why do I exist? Why is reality the way that it is? -> Why am I this specific way? What is love? -> Am I love? Etc.

Hey y'all This is going to be my new journal on my new account. I left the old acc because I didn't like my username. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sincerity and I'm from Poland. [image removed] ^ This is me! I'm currently ??? years old. I'm admittedly young but I hope you can see me beyond my age, for what I am I've been on this forum for more than 3 years and until now I've (kinda) held my identity a secret. But lately I've had some realizations in regard to expressing myself more honestly and yeah. Here I am, being more open with you. Now you have a slightly better idea of who's behind the account. (Edit: Ironic haha. But it has to be this way. Everything ends.) I've been on the spiritual path for roughly 4-5 years now and I feel like I've had much progress. I definitely have many insights to share. But I'm still pretty much a beginner and I'm on the journey along with you. Try to keep up, because I feel like I'm growing pretty fast (this year has been insane for me so far, seriously!) I've been mulling over my important values for years and this is where I stand right now: I am primarily about goodness. I am about love. I am about bliss, wisdom, appreciation, responsibility, sincerity, curiosity, discipline and humility. I also really value humor and laughter. You might notice I'm often tongue-in-cheek in my posts I don't like posting very frequently and I'm still not sure what I will even be posting here but tell you what, it's going to come from a place of sincerity Love and have a great day ❤️

Hell yeah

So are you actively working towards your advancement in the domains of psychology and spirituality, or not? If you feel that's your purpose and you ARE doing the actual work in that, then you're not really lazy. But if you just sit on your ass and only "care" about psychology and spirituality in the sense of consuming content about it or doing some work only when inspiration strikes once in a blue moon, then that's a problem and you should really get off your ass. From your title I sense it might be the latter. If so, start acting in your life or you'll end up very miserable sooner than later. And drugs won't fix it.

I'm not very much into Sadhguru so I don't know. Perhaps he seems that way but is really an introvert, similar to how someone would perceive you on the street (you mentioned once that people deem you surprisingly extroverted when they meet you). Or maybe he is an extrovert, I don't know lol. Besides, I just said introverts probably have a higher chance. One guy doesn't change that.

Don't underestimate the INFPs out there. I've had great success already with the awakening endeavour. Still the white belt, perhaps even whiter than at the start, but grateful for the considerable progress made. I think the statement that only 2 personalities can awaken is obviously false, but I'd definitely be more inclined to agree that introverts have a greater chance to awaken than extraverts. Still, these are gross oversimplifications. The entire Myers-Briggs model is astrology for men.

You should awaken NOW!

I disagree completely. Hardly anyone does. We can agree to disagree. Let’s keep it at that.

Sorry. Looking forward to you talking to @Cubbage, that’ll be good for sure.

Or, you don’t get it. Infinity of Gods is a precise description of this insight/awakening. Sorry, but the being lost in concepts is your case. You don’t even admit you are God. So what’s there to talk about. My awakenings are from complete beginner’s mind, every time. And every time it’s the same thing (insights into Consciousness), but going deeper and deeper and deeper. I go where the truth is after I’m wiped out. It’s not just wherever.

There’s zero logical error. You just have to get it - both solipsism and the other insight. Both can be (and are) true. God is mysterious.

Admittedly, Infinity of Gods is not fully fleshed out for me. I’m still uncovering it. For me, it’s been this naggling sense for a long time during my trips that I can’t fully „reject” Others - while also realizing solipsism at the same time. And with more and more trips I’ve been letting that insight into my consciousness more. So for me it’s been kind of a squaring of Solipsism + Others Exist. Which in itself is an amazing joke and paradox (but also not really a paradox). But those Others are probably completely separate for me. I don’t yet have a good grasp of „Them” - I don’t know whether there’s a possibility for an interaction, I haven’t made any sort of connection like you described, even an imagined one. I’m sure it’d still all be through Me though. But yeah, this understanding is still incomplete. Work-in-progress. I actually rewatched your Infinity of Gods video 3 days ago - last time I watched it when it released I think. A lot of it resonated. Though my awakenings regarding it were still reached organically, not really remembering what you said there.

That’s what you think.
