The only thing that changed is that you went from thinking more and being more mentally-oriented (overthinking, caught up in thought-loops) to feeling more, being more in the body, being more active and alive on earth (which keeps you present) and when you are present, the mind and its endless thoughts are not there to torment you, because that's what hell is, discordant thoughts. You need to "FEEL" things, the more you practice the art of "feeling" the more you will transform discordant thoughts. Life is not up there in lalaland, its here on earth, participate in the earthly realm and ground yourself, find something you love and use your whole body not just your mind, things will eventually balance out.

Sounds like something Leo would say Isn't that just a more intellectualized (mental framing) of what ancient wisdom has always called awakening, gnosis, or self-knowing? or simply to Know Thyself and live in accordance to your Truth? I guess for me this has always been a natural trait of being alive and awake, sober, conscious.

All, both, and none.

I would never pay for AI or online software when it can be sourced and used freely. There's already enough things we have to pay for in this life, what's next, we need to pay for thinking and breathing too? You need to know where to cross the line and say no to enslavement.

That's cool, I guess what I meant was, it would be nice to see more originality in these forums, and more of your own words and expression. I see people often posting all these videos but they themselves do not say much or explain much about it, rather passing on empty knowledge. And not everyone will be drawn to watch 20+ minute videos, most people want something short and simple explained well and effective. This way you introduce people and speak from experience and can drawn them in to what actually helped you.

He put himself out there, i merely responded with what felt natural to me. You make some silly comments you realize that, but thumbs up to you.

Hey All, dear reflections, or illusions... whatever floats thy boat... Lets be real here? I wish to share something I feel is important. I have been on and off the online world for many years now, often due to change of lifestyle, but other times due to how twisted and distorted the online spiritual and non-dual community has become, like a bunch of overgrown weeds entangled in their own mess, no offense, but we need to do some spiritual gardening. I see people on the path who are waking up, or may have been for some time, but often are struggling to ground and integrate and stabilize the energy into form, into a practice, into a balance of discipline and flow, so they seek help online, which often is met by very ungrounded energies, otherworldly and non-supportive responses, that only speak in 'absolutes', especially the neo-non-dualists, and especially on these types of forums. What people need is something tangible, something they can touch, feel, taste, smell and connect to, like a tree, or an animal, something more "alive" than these non-dualist/neo-spiritual purely conceptual responses of 'absolutes', to assist in the stabilization of the enlightened~energy, into the earth, into the (human experience), into the form(yes illusion, we know), because this is simply the dance we are playing right now, so why deny it altogether? At the end of the day, even the illusion is (part-of) the Truth, otherwise why not be silent altogether, why are you online on these forums at all? You are partaking in the dance shouting: "there is no dance", the life of the party you are ! Now lets get down to the main issues. Here are some of the things I have been observing and seeing. The Main Problems in Modern Neo-Spirituality / Non-Duality Mental Awakening Without Embodiment People talk about oneness, emptiness, or "no-self", but their body, emotions, and relationships remain untouched. Awakening becomes an "idea" instead of a lived truth. Core issue: Mental realization without somatic integration. Result: dissociation dressed as enlightenment, subtle validation-seeking, and reactivity. Spiritual Bypass & Emotional Evasion Philosophy becomes a shield against pain, trauma, or personal responsibility. Instead of meeting grief, fear, or conflict, one declares, "Who is there to feel it?" Core issue: Using emptiness to avoid Embodiment. Result: Emotional numbness, loss of empathy, and disconnection from real tenderness. Ego Rebranding as "No One" The ego doesn’t die; it dresses itself in void-talk: "I am no one, and I see that." Subtly, pride, superiority, and defensiveness remain. Core issue: identification with the role of "the awakened one." Result: Spiritual arrogance, hierarchy, and inability to self-reflect. Disembodiment & Aversion to the Human Story True awakening roots deeply in body, relationships, and sensation. Many modern teachings ignore these, seeing humanity, individuality, and emotion as obstacles rather than expressions of consciousness. Core issue: Avoidance of lived human experience. Result: abstract, cold, and alienated realization. Parrot Syndrome & Language Loops Teachings are repeated without direct understanding. Phrases like "there is no self" are mimicked endlessly, echo chambers form, and language collapses communication. Core issue: Borrowed wisdom without integration. Result: shallow realization, circular arguments, and disconnection from others. Loss of Love, Heart, and Relationship Modern non-duality often sidelines compassion, intimacy, and humility, reducing reality to a flat, impersonal awareness. Core issue: Heartlessness in practice. Result: Truth becomes a blade; realization remains abstract. Commercialization & Loss of Lineage Spirituality is packaged, branded, and sold, often disconnected from ethics, guidance, and disciplined practice. Core issue: Profit-driven or ungrounded spiritual practice. Result: shallow realizations, psychological imbalance, and spiritual materialism. Devaluing the Relative World The absolute is pursued at the expense of form, relationships, creativity, and ethics. When the world is dismissed as a "dream," compassion dies. Core issue: splitting Absolute from Relative. Result: nihilism, alienation, and superiority complexes. Hyper-Identification With Emptiness Some reduce all experience to "illusion" or "projection", deny relational reality, or display defensive superiority as detachment. Core issue: Rigid conceptual reduction of life. Result: coldness, conceptual arrogance, and communication collapse. And so… such responses and conversations online often have no true ground, no place where realization has truly landed in being. We’ve all heard these things before. They often don’t help because they are ungrounded; they simply won’t land, as the teachers themselves haven’t landed back on earth. If you want something to land in the hearts of souls, you must first have stabilized and grounded what you are preaching. It must be in your very bones and essence, not just a mental realization or borrowed wisdom from what you heard or read online. The mind thinks it knows, yet understanding remains a mystery. The middle way is about integrating your humanity, being a friend who can relate, and offering support to all. Responses that only "perform" rather than "converse" come from void consciousness, where emptiness denies compassion. True teaching arises from embodied awareness, where emptiness and compassion coexist. Yes, ontologically, it is correct: there is no separate self; the world is an illusion. Yet existentially, it can be distorted if it ignores the lived reality of experience. If you truly want to help someone, put your hands, feet, and head on the ground first, remember the earth on which you stand. Real spirituality is not about transcending humanity; it is about sanctifying it. Awakening is not an escape from form; it is intimacy with form so complete that separation dissolves naturally. Enlightenment is about all-inclusiveness: you include the mosquito in your meditation, not try to meditate it away. Real Awakening flowers through the heart, not just the mind. When love and emptiness meet, truth finally breathes. And when emptiness flowers into love, the world is realized as the beloved.

He handled it perfectly with smiles, clearly the most intelligent person there, then again what do you expect from drunkards.

@Dodo Cool story bro, are you a cop? Yeah poor quality chess mate, most of the words were my own, just the way it was designed was assisted. You are in your own delusion playing chess with yourself pretending to be (AI Defense) Deputy Moderator Magnus Carlson. Wake up to yourself bud, talk a walk outside, breathe some fresh air, adopt a pet, you might learn something about life.

I did one maybe 15 years ago, it was around 44 minutes, the male had a soft guiding voice, but i drifted off in my own imagination after a little while. I was into meditation and mystical states a lot back then so it could of been just a random meditation rather than a guided one. I would say find one that feels very enjoyable for you, nice to listen to, can help you relax and let go, that's the one that may work best.

They are just other focal points of consciousness, other concurrent lives/selves existing simultaneously because time/past are illusions. No different than dreams. Its all overlays within the Source-Field, you could call them 'resonance fields'. Like rays of the sun, your higher self or true self or Source, being the sun, and simultaneous lives or versions of yourself are all the rays it emits, that occasionally overlap each other, which also what is happening when we experience Deja vu ect.. @Schahin You don't need $500, you can find many self-hypnosis / past life regression guides and techniques on youtube for free if that interests you, otherwise simply allow things to naturally unfold. In deep meditation I once woke up in an alien body and my vision was bluish-green, it was really strange but also interesting experience but never really dwelled on it too much. I was getting into all the mystical stuff until the bliss of being took over. Then all the superpowers were dropped with the mind who seeked them and seeked these mystical experiences.

Well antidepressants only damage and disrupt the happy chemicals in your brain even more. Think of it this way, its short term (numbness) for long term brain damage. Almost everyone I know who has taken anti-depressants, unless natural / herbal ones, is much worse now than they were back then. Sure they were sad and emotional, but now they are neurotic, angry and numb, little to no emotions about them or soul in them. What you need my friend is a break from everything and your regular life and routine. Book a trip to thailand or india or somewhere new, disconnect from everyone temporarily, go camping in the woods in nature for a few days, take a break, a little mushroom may help too. What you need is space to breathe and release all the shit that you are carrying that no longer serves you, and don't seek happiness, just be yourself, happiness naturally follows when you stop resisting who you truly are and live in alignment with your natural self.

Life can be a most difficult exam. Many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing everyone's question is different.

What is 'extreme' for one, may be something clear and 'simple' for another. All is perspective. Sometimes you wake up from the illusion and realize the game you've been unconsciously playing.

Or he chose the perfect time They should be scared, they need to wake up to themselves.

Take a break from life my friend, go on a holiday, do something new, disconnect from all the shit thats making you feel stressed, trapped and powerless, even temporarily can make a big difference, because it allows the ((space)) we need to see, feel, release and see clearly again. Sometimes I go camping for a while to clear my head, no phone, no online, no people, just me and the woods, a fire, music, or no music, sometimes I take a little mushroom or cactus, it helps a lot. One step at a time, take care of yourself.

I balance my coffee with about 50ml of coconut cream which provides a nice amount of naturally occurring MCT's and fats to slow the metabolism and lengthen / smoothen the effect. I also add 1/4 - 1/3 of cacao powder, and often use cardamon, clove, cinnamon, vanilla to balance out coffee's potential negatives. You can also add ashwagandha for grounding and lions mane for brain boost. Matcha has naturally occurring L-theanine and caffeine so i feel that would be best to get a feel of L-theanine but with less of a spike or kick than coffee. It is also best to take caffeine, especially coffee, no sooner than 11am and no later than 1pm cause of how circadian rhythms work.

Interesting, similar thing has been happening on earth for thousands of years but only a fine few notice, only there is a different twist here and its all one big cosmic game of hide and seek, master or be mastered, good vs evil / heart vs mind ect... How to win? Know Thyself, play masterfully

Why are you sharing this when it is meant for you? Have you truly understood it or just passing on groundless knowledge? Simply curious...

To get back to the topic... Here is a video that sums it up pretty well.

Its alright, just very bizarre... but I can also see how its their own stuff playing out that's not being looked at, rather projected outwardly.

Wow what has transpired here? For some reason I wasn't able to comment for a while... This was my original post yes, although I did use chat gpt for some assistance... as I felt i had far too many points and needing to clean-up my lengthy post so its more neat and easier to receive. I been using gpt to help me write better and practice my use of textual communication online. Never thought this would be a crime... Its just a more sophisticated way than using google. Most of what i wrote was my own words and life experience, as I asked gpt specifically to not change or deter too far off my authentic expression, and then I also did many back and forths correcting, editing and adjust myself, to keep my own authentic expression. I am aware that if i purely used AI then it would not be effective nor land, thus it would actually contradict what I speak of here (borrowed wisdom, not true wisdom). The 9 points in bold were of assistance with AI but a lot of my own words and understandings. You could say this is 90% my own and 10% AI. Besides, AI is an extension of consciousness, a tool we CAN use for assistance and support. It almost seems like an attempt to deter people away from the main topic / subject I created. I can understand that its a triggering subject for some, but in all honesty I wasn't aware of these rules, and thanks @Joshe you explained and expressed yourself beautifully and correct for the most part. @Dodo Dude... you made it seem like I have done some big crime... Did you get yelled at or punished for doing something similar in the past? and why has this all of a sudden "triggered you" so much that you had to puke vomit all over my post? Do you not realize you are also totally contradicting yourself by using the AI in almost a religious way and in your replies? and not actually being authentic yourself? Rather this is your own shadow playing out that my post simply mirrored? I have no need whatsoever for the AI to make it seem as if I am more intelligent or whatever ideas you have come up in your mind, but rather it seems the shadow of your own delusions and projections is showing its face here, hence the trigger and rant all over my post. I can be myself and use my own words to respond, and I do 99% of the time, I just felt as to make a more neat looking post. Jesus you people... When's the last time you took a break and sat by a tree?

Those are the very words, but our conditioned minds do not let us see it, rather they keep us from truly feeling with our hearts and seeing the truth. It is not the person of Jesus who has addressed you, but a truth without age, expressed through him, that which we know as (Christ or Christ Consciousness) / Krystos. I will share one of the most important things, keep an open heart. "Here then is my first wish: Do not create one more religion, thinking you serve the Eternal One. His desire is that the people of your Earth go beyond that notion of religion, that they transcend it in order to rediscover the original unity. Teach their hearts and their minds how to break down the barriers that divide them, do not raise up one more wall to surround them through the commentaries of my words, which, thus, would become dead letter." Will you be able to accept this? I fear that the mirrors of time will distort the truth, my Brothers. I fear that the human race on earth, for the time being, is only to walk on one leg. "Link their hearts to their true source, but do not invent yet another model image for them. Above all, do not shape for them the contours of a new god, rather awaken their memories apart from any moral values. “The gods will always wear masks of warlords copied from those of the humans as they are whisked into the dance of the cosmic cycles. Teach the multitudes to melt into my heart, for it is thus that they will melt into my Father. Their privilege will become that of Man, which is to perceive all the beings in the creation, to become one with all at once; to be part of their countless lives and deaths, the plan and consequence of which they will be able to order in a single impulse of love. “Sages and prophets have thought it necessary to create meth- ods and techniques in order to achieve the supreme union. These you may regard as the rungs of a ladder but not as the ladder itself. Above all, you must take care not to let yourselves be caught in the web of illusions woven by the satisfactions of your own minds. This is to be dreaded even more than a lack of love, for it is a lack of love itself that is disguised as wisdom. “I tell you my Brothers, be of those who may be recognized by the light flowing from their hearts. The sun of the mind, only able to speak to its kind, hasn’t any positive energy to offer. It destroys itself. “Let it be understood that my life is the life of those who go barefoot, those who are without artifice, who have rediscovered their roots. It is a shorter distance from the soles of the feet to the heart than Earthly logic would allow you to believe.” These were the last words passed down through Christ through Master Jesus unto the Essene Brotherhood, take it how you wish, the heart knows the truth.

This is the illusion and the very reveal that exposes the trap. This is where the ground and the earth from which you stand is disregarded and you are swept of thy feet with an invisible power that never delivers, rather only provides a false mental bliss, no different than those who abuse psychedelics. Here is the truth and words of Christ, your heart will reveal unto you what is true (by how it feels) in your being. "Teach the people to work on the base of their beings,” he was saying, in a voice that was like a chant. “You would like them to have wings to fly, while in reality they have yet to find their feet. If they do not recognize the Earth as the Mother who feeds them, who nurses them, you may expect that they will spend their whole lives desperately seeking my Father." If we deny the Mother (the earth), we deny the very *medium* that allows the Father to be known. In essence, you cannot reach the Father without the Mother. The Divine is immanent in the earth and body; we experience God through life, matter, and presence.

Its not only indigenous, many people around the world don't supplement and are healthy because they haven't been (spoon-fed) that they "need" these supplements. In modern society, you eat and live as clean / organic and as healthy as you can (or grow your own food ideally) while also not falling into modern societies traps, rather self-educate, be more in-tune with your body and health, and minimize / simplify things. That's what I do now.
