I see what you mean, thanks for your wisdom and reminder 🙏

The mind is very nature is activity / engagement, without it, it feels pointless/useless. There is a useful mind and there is a disturbed / overstimulated mind, or nervous system, what have you. The mind resists surrendering itself because it fears loss of control, yet if the body is strong, mind rests and becomes one with the body, so to speak, and goes hand in hand, harmony in the mind/body/spirit, that even though its all one, the separateness or disagreement or misalignment... is what needs harmonization. Modern humans are scattered because we don't live naturally, we live mostly artificially, on screens, junk foods, not moving our bodies, not hiking mountains gathering food, not creating hands-on service ect... thus imbalance is a side-effect of an artificial living. I agree that harmony and corporation is needed and not a fight or battle of and with the mind, you only feed it more cookies. In my experience when the body is healthy and strong, the mind feels safe to rest and surrender into being. This is often why yogis are so active in body. You will find when you move your whole body and become of use in the world, ones mind becomes far more anchored and balanced. Yet, when we spend all day on screens then cant shut down our mind from thinking afterwards, its due to the over-stimulation / inflammation of nervous system. The mind is like a tool, we use it when we engage, but if we are resting and its running wild, there is an imbalance and instability. If you find you cannot rest or meditate, try go for a run or dance or bust a sweat, then notice how meditative and zen you feel Thanks for your words, you made some useful points. Hopefully that makes sense.

Yeah i don't listen to news and media because I have traveled to many countries and seen completely different places and people to how the western media projects it. Which is why i often am more interested in the places that are projected as the "corrupt" and "bad-guys" when its often those who are saying that are the corrupt and bad ones in fear of the unknown or other angle/country/perspective. Almost every government is like that tho, these entire governmental/political systems need to be destroyed and people need to take full responsibility of their lives. The only reason why these systems have been put in place is because people became lazy and allowed this madness to occur. They become irresponsible and well, the universe plays its hand.

Not too often, just when it comes naturally It also depends, if i am living in nature and camping more, its naturally more often. My life is one big intuitive dance, there is little to no structure or routine about it, I simply live and let live

I once gazed at a star laying down after a long night at the beach and I experienced a type of oneness experience where I saw myself looking back at myself and the star was like my eye reflecting back at me from inside but appearing out there. Never forget that moment.

Everything shifted to a new level for me once i realized humans are the only species to cook food, and that we only had to cook because we were forced to eat the wrong foods to being with, and then i found many others sharing the importance of raw living foods, predominantly plant-based foods, and when i experienced eating and living only fresh foods, my whole health and consciousness transformed. Music is another one for me, and dancing, oh when I dance i and release stagnant energy if feel divine, better than drugs, in fact people often come up to me and ask what drugs am i on when i am seen dancing at a festival or what not, often i am totally sober. Other general habits that helped me are basic things like natural living, daily sunshine, walk barefoot for the last 20 years mostly, hike mountains, climb trees, travel, jump from high waterfalls, live a wild life keeps things healthy. I notice when i don't follow or live up to most of these things reality starts to malfunction again. I can feel it instantly when i go off my path. Meditation helped a lot too, but yeah if you want killer energy levels and mental clarity, nothing beats fresh fruits from the tree.

I get more out of your name and profile photo too be honest Whats missing?

That's cause Awakening cannot evolve into Enlightenment until everything is dropped and The Truth becomes grounded and stabilized in ones being. See, many often focus on 'ascending' and 'accelerating', not realizing they are in a endless cycle of the mind giving itself new fancy pictures, tricking itself that there's more, but really, it just keeps one further away from truly surrendering and resting in being, and there you are, as you were. The mind is the one who is afraid of surrendering and resting, thus always seeks to go higher, not realizing true height is depth. The Buddha's Middle Way ~ is right here, on earth, living our human lives, fully embodied and present.

I know of many, or any mantra from this youtube channel (meditative mind). I find them more relaxing and soothing in general. This one i always found both soothing and powerful, it helps clear dark/dense energies from the environment. This one is good too, non-mantra but frequencies are very effective. I prefer them mostly for background support.

There is corruption most places around the world, I am curious tho, i have heard some great things about Russia too, especially in terms of free land to residents and many eco-living communities following teachings of the Ringing Cedar's books, have you heard of them? Fascinating stuff. They say Russia will lead the new world to a more natural way of living in harmony with the planet, who knows. A lot of people around the world have been inspired by the less mainstream things that come out of Russia, like science and spirituality and alien technology and so on... I feel each country is just as beautiful and radiant as it is corrupted, there is darkness in every corner, but light is just as strong too.

Yes, stretching comes naturally when you arise or go to sleep does it not? I observe my cat often, he stretches multiple times a day, before and after food, before and after naps, we sometimes lie on the grass together in the morning and stretch it out and roll around. I don't stretch as much as he does tho, he is a great reminder for me. You also could benefit to voice out the stretches, that really helps release energy. Stretching in general releases stagnant energy in the body and that is why you often feel more balanced and zen afterwards, especially with some more prolonged and deeper stretches. I personally don't do any routines, just allow my body to guide me on what it needs. Often you will find when the mind is not too busy, the body simply does its thing on its own. I don't even meditate anymore, i just meditate when it happens naturally. I realized the routine/formal way is not true meditation, and i feel stretching is similar, but when it comes, you can always make it grand.

I struggle to relate with your posts because one moment you talk about "love" and offer such advice, and the next moment you are trashing the whole forum with your negative comments and toxicity. Maybe its time to lay off the weed or alcohol, or whatever it is your doing that's getting you high and feeling good one moment, and all depressed and bitter the next. What goes up, must come back down. How is anyone ever going to take your advice seriously or useful when you are constantly flipping and unstable? I would focus on "grounding" and "integrating" (doing the work), and not prematurely blasting off into space all the time and escaping. Its a toxic cycle. So when you talk about love, maybe you glimpse it, but it doesn't land (have much of an effect) because it hasn't truly landed in you yet. And your not the only one doing this, many people on this forum seem to do this, including Leo, there is great instability and lack of consistency on this forum. A lot of work is needed here, there are only a few members that seem to be more embodied, balanced and consistent with the teachings we exchange here, and its usually the ones who are substance-free and actually put in effort daily to take care of their mind, body and health and integrate. Eventually you need to hang up the phone and do the work, its hard, life can be very hard on us sometimes, but it pays off in the end.

@Natasha Tori Maru That first image reminds me of TRON legacy, nice shots, do you live up in the hills or just a very high building?

The battle of the non-dools lol - Actualized.org

A deeper teaching / lesson that will make sense in good timing

Yes its actually easier to gaze upon a single point and just fully relax then close eyes and perform the traditional meditation. Mind tends to wander with eyes fully closed, where gazing at a single point keeps focus and awareness still and unwavering.

Just another moment, same moment, different labels. Some say the real new year begins around springtime, but then again, another illusion. Just ole programs, patterns we carry on. The coffee was definitely on the bitter side.

Yes, most of my life is alone, even when I am with family, i am alone, i see through everyone, all the lies, suppression with drugs and alcohol, fake happiness, fake smiles, cameras and phones recording everything and not enjoying the moment. This new years was the most alone I've felt in a while while being in the company of others. It was also the first new years without my partner which was hard for me. The two people I would of loved to spend the evening with under the stars somewhere, unfortunately they were at other events / places. I simply surrendered to the nagging families wishes this time, cause I never go to their gatherings, and glad I am back home alone again, feeling much more whole being with myself than with a crowd full of falsities and suppression of what real and needs to be felt. I couldn't stand the artificiality of modern humans ever since i was born, I see and feel through it all. Was a big reminder for me, can never really go back to old people and ways stuck in a 3D matrix and useless small talk. If I wasn't around my family it would simply be another day for me, I don't even celebrate my birthday anymore, just intuitively live, time works differently and aging process becomes flexible. I was like this when i was younger too, partying with my friends, after they all pass out, i was in great joy to sneak home and go in my little room/cave and either go online and play games or explore deeper stuff with substances or simply watch a good movie or read a good book. Makes me realize how traveling in my van, living and camping in nature everyday was a far richer and more profound life full of surprises. I am feeling my next move is to sell everything and book a one way flight and travel / live minimalist and throw more things away. I am starting to realize the deeper i go into my journey, the less I have, the richer and more whole I feel in my spirit. The only thing I miss here is my garden and having access to your own land where you can grow food and raise animals. That's all deep souls really need, nature, and animals, humans are optional. It was just me and my cat in the end, and we snuggled and i feel asleep. He knows exactly what I go threw and need.

Thanks for sharing, here is an even cleaner / healthier version. 1 egg - replace with chia-egg or flax-egg for vegan / cleaner option (or at least "pasture-raised" organic egg) 20g raw sugar (I tried all maple but it's worse) - Scrap this / use raw molasses instead 120g peanut butter (100% peanuts) - try raw almond or hazelnut or macadamia butter/cleaner Scrap the dark chocolate and cocoa, replace with real (cacao) or raw cacao powder or paste - no dairy/cleaner You can also replace flours with quinoa flour which is lighter/cleaner on the body and gluten free Try that see how you feel afterwards, you should definitely feel lighter and better If you can source (organic) in any or all of the ingredients, its always best.

Nothing releases trauma better than dancing by the fire with 20 African drummers and good company. No substances needed. If you tasted this experience before you'll know what I am talking about. No speakers can replicate the force of nature and real natural sounds. They literally move the demons out of you and as you dance and shake and are genuinely having fun, transmutation occurs.

Death note was great, both the movies and the Anime TV show

Thanks for sharing
