Cosmic-Resplendence

I was just watching a video talking about this, and why some fall back asleep after awakening. Daniel Schmidt loosely talks about this during the second half of the presentation, after about 21:45 minutes in and he talks about “How does one Awaken” and going forward from there. Something about purifying the conditioned patterns of the self, making the self less dense so to speak. He says the first matter is to wake up to who you truly are, but if the self isn’t purified so to speak one may easily fall back asleep, pulled back to sleep by the whirlpool of the mind. The purification isn’t necessary to awaken, however, purifying the self IS necessary to stay awakened. Very interesting what he has to say here, great video infact. I’d suggest watching the whole video though to put everything he says into proper perspective.

I’m very interested in this substance, the Malt I mean, for spiritual growth. Still seems to only be illegal in Turkey as far as I know.

I think ones health and diet eat play a large part. Shamans who do Ayahuasca ceremonies are very assertive about a persons diet, leading up to the Ayahuasca ceremony. You’ll have to research it though… Here’s one page I just found. Someone should write a book just about this subject, and not just in relation to Ayahuasca. https://psychable.com/ayahuasca/the-ayahuasca-diet-what-is-it-and-why-do-it

Ah, never mind I see you have another link to the meaning above.

That link you posted is very interesting! Thanks for posting it… What do you think is meant by “Mast”? Is that short for Master? Master of realization of God?

Truth!

Strange times we live in… On one hand we as human beings are more connected to one another more then perhaps any other time in history, but simultaneously, I think most people feel more isolated then ever before. I wish I had better advice for you, but hang in there… The one thing you can be certain of, is that things will change eventually.

ChatGPT just gave me five ancient Tantric texts supposedly talking about Kundali and Kundali activation. Shiva Samhita, Yoga Kundalini Upanishad, Shatchakra Nirupana, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and Tantric Agamas and Niganas. All of those are from 16th century or earlier. Two of these, I researched were written 1500 years before the Bible was written. If indeed its BS… Which I doubt these forms are, then its some really ancient BS. Problem I think is that every new spiritual fad is looking to sell you your newfangled Kundali activation, so the BS is mixed in with truths, and it gets difficult to separate truth from fiction.

Maybe it is BS… I’ve never had one, so cannot really say… This is the video I was talking about though, closer to the end of it is where they compare breakdowns to it. I do think there’s a lot of hype about it mixed in with the Yoga crowd so you now have suburban Soccer moms getting their kundalini activated while on vacation which seems to lower any validity to it. However I cannot say if its the same for true Yogis and Gurus in India?

I thought this article from Psychology Today was interesting. It seems that modern psychology is just starting to recognize a spontaneous spiritual awakening for what it is, compared to some kind of a psychological break down, which is generally how they would judge this type of experience in the past. Strange I’ve seen bits here and there suggesting that many people being treated for psychological disturbances, some of them might actually be having spiritual awakenings. Igor Kufayev suggested this. Also I saw a video recently about supposedly real Kundalini awakenings and in it they mentioned that some people experience spontaneous Kundalini activation but often the person has no idea what is happening to them, and they think they are having some sort of a break down, hearing and seeing things that others don’t. Reminds me in one of Leo’s vids he suggests that maybe to really know God, it would appear as someone loosing their sanity so to speak from the outside. -Break Downs and Shift Ups-

With ego death… Just learn to recognize that experience for what it is, while its happening, like to really know it, so when it happens, you aren‘t caught off guard and become completely lost over fear. So you will surrender into it without any hesitations. Sounds easy but if you really think you’re dying, that’s easier said than done. If you didn’t realize what was happening, its probably more likely to cause escalating fears… turning the experience from what could have been a massive breakthrough and spiritual growth, instead into some kind of a psychological setback. Theres probably infinite variations of ego deaths though, some may be more difficult than others. But this isn’t anything new really, just the old thinking that one should go with the experience, not to fight it, or else will cause a bad trip. Unfortunately the most spiritual growing psychedelic experiences usually need to be powerful and life altering, often involving some kind of ego death… I think.

The first post on this thread sounds like some sort of an ego death? A question… Do you think that true and the deepest awakenings, only happen through ego death? I ask this because the only awakenings that really shook me into really deeply understanding had this component of ego death. Even awakenings in real life appear after some kind of suffering. I had an experience of slow motion ego death once. I had fore knowledge of what an ego death is, so as it was happening I could really study the process as it unfolded and surrender to it. When I reached the peak of it… I forgot who I was, it was like amnesia, I didn’t remember anything and it was so total that time also stopped, or I didn’t have any understanding of what time even was… Just after the peak, an inner dimension of infinite spaciousness opened along with depth and clairity… and a kind of tranquility and peace that I’ve never known before… then floods of information came, layers upon layers… It felt like huge chunks of time passed, lifetimes had passed, or atleast tens of years, but when I came back, only about 20 minutes passed. This blew my mind. The experience really stayed with me, and I thought about it probably everyday for months. I seriously wanted to understand what exactly happened there. They say Psychedelic awakenings don’t last… This one did. It changed my whole everything, its why I’m here now. This caused me to start a serious daily meditation regime, it definitely was very different from other experiences I’ve had, and it was just the right thing for me and at the right time. I believe if it happened earlier in my life, I would have just passed it off as just a strange experience, a weird effect on the mind from a psychedelic. I think now that I probably went into the void, after tons of research trying to unravel the significance of that experience, especially the time factor. This 👆… I believe is key. If you aren’t learning about the self, higher lower self and spirituality… The psychedelic experience won’t make any sense and you’ll pass it off as just a novelty. Same thing for true awakenings in regular life.

There’s probably some morsels of truth to it, what you put out there into Universe has effects but I think a lot of people get misguided by going into it with “I Want”… Seems like that’s missing some super basic spiritual laws about the self or something. So many videos about manifesting money for yourself…

I’ve had this nagging question I’ve always wondered… Do you think that once a certain state of mind has been attained briefly, once or even better, a few times from psychs, and since you’ve experienced that state, known it, felt what it was like…. and whilst in that state, making an attempt to really absorb the feeling of that state of mind… Do you think that it would be easier to reach it again later through meditation since you’ve been there before? Like it gives you something to aim for, instead of meditating blindly, not quite knowing what you’re reaching for? Maybe one could get there in an 1/8 of the time through meditation then, instead comparably if meditation normally would take say 50 years to get to the same states of mind. By the way as Leo has pointed out that there are many many different higher states of mind, so I’m not necessarily talking about God mode.

I just saw a video today about another guy, in Australia who claims to be Jesus. Except he’s got a huge ->cult<- following. I don’t think he did psychedelics either.
