One thing I have found helpful when observing the thoughts in your mind and bringing attention into the "inner body" is to imagine if you like two clear see-through clouds (one in your head and the other in your body) start by watching yourself literally as if there was a movie screen in front of you sitting at your desk and then by way of special effects you have these two clear clouds inside you constantly moving and changing form. It helps to remind me that I am not my mind and I can for brief intervals hold this realization of the observer watching the thinking mind.

Maybe some people have a distinct delivery style. This could be their personality, way they do things. Just because someone is being soft does not mean their awakening is being more real than someone who is loud. Some people are naturally a bit more expressive and others more shy. Awakening happens in degrees. It's always a work in progress. The demeanor of delivery should not have much to do with the quality of content. You're focused on aesthetics and appeal. Maybe someone who sounds silent, shy and sweet appear less egoic to you but they can play their ego games in much subtle ways, example disagreeing or only agreeing with those who agree with them. You're being a bit superficial here.

Can you properly differentiate the two? I don't think you can.

I'm not a hardcore spiritual person and I don't think I need to be. My main spiritual practices generally revolve around contemplation, insight, inquiry, and sometimes I do have those eureka moments where something just hits and begins to make sense. That being said I find Razard posts very useful most of the time. I don't think that when we enter the arena of spirituality we should heavily skeptical because spirituality by and large is a vague uncharted territory and obviously knowing absolutely even the tiniest bit would need an open mind and a lot of prodding.

Why is this such an important criterion Carl?

I agree.

Saying this life is amazing is also a story.

That's a good way of putting it. I might as well say it goes both ways, whether you're relative or absolute. Although you'll never know the absolute truth under any circumstances because there's no real way to test it, there is still a finite possibility of exploring the truth and extracting something valuable out of it. Think of it this way. An explorer goes to an island. A remote island. He gets too tired by the end of his journey. He cannot explore the whole island but he covered a pretty huge area. In doing so he has learned quite a bit about the island. Not everything but still quite a lot. He has learned enough that he could take this back to his town and put this knowledge to good use. It's not complete. Yet it's enough to get a good idea about the nature of things.

Then my dear friend you'll never know the truth. Look at Leo. He is looking for awakening. He could easily settle dowm But consciousness doesn't work like that. There are levels to awakening.

Of course you chose to be here. You could choose to stay in a palace and still want to clean the palace. You can be in reality and still try to explore the absolute. You're living in the relative. The absolute is still worth exploring.

Because much of life is mere conditioning and it's like slavery to stay addicted to that. Rather open your wings, fly, explore the bounds of consciousness which has no bounds and see what is possible for the mind to experience. Why limityourself at all?

It's not so much about transcending life. It's more about transcending reality.

This feeling when you realize you are love. Bliss that penetrates your every core. Feel it. What else is there except love? Only infinite healing. Infinite love. Infinite gratitude for this existence.. Infinitely falling in love with love. Life is a poetry. If you don't catch the drift you'll play around with the verses and miss the inner meaning. Find it now my friend.

Not wanting to delve into spiritual bypassing. But trauma healing is an essential first step towards your spiritual journey. Heal that inner core in you. I would like to share resources on trauma healing that might be useful for some. Keep waiting. Shalom my lovelies.

@Princess Arabia you're rocking it.

I think the video is self explanatory.

Ruthless hard work.

You're too naughty, you forgot to put holes in it.

Liberal or conservative doesn't define inherent character. Both are equally susceptible to biases. There's cancel culture that can be taken to the extreme and there's conservative bias that might look like religious dogma. Both have their strengths and weaknesses and it's ideal to not gloss over any of their toxic tendencies.

And how do you do that?

Some relief.

Well... How can you grow spiritually if you show love to one and disdain for another? You guys are wallowing in your own bullshit if you cannot have compassion for all.

I hope you didn't receive warning points.

Humility and empathy.
