@Aaron p A hangover ‘asleep’ is just a hangover, no over thinking. Just one thought - “I’m hungover...been here before, know what it is, I’ll do better next time.” A hangover while awakening seems like a whole different matter, because you’re highly aware of the low state the alcohol put your body and point of view in, and from that low perspective, you’re overthinking dramatically, trying to find an answer spiritually. That amounts to - beating up on yourself (overthinking). But it’s just a hangover. The answer is, this is what a hangover is like when you’ve been getting in touch with your emotions. Message from the body which is infinite intelligence (If you don’t believe me, just notice how it does all that it does without any need from the finite mind)....the message is, “Hey. Don’t do that again, ok?” Stop being so stubborn and stop creating this big story in your head. Just humble on down and say, “Ok”. And if you can muster it, maybe even, “Sorry, I love you”. Take your spiritual work, your “enlightenment”, your “repressed emotions”, your “seeking”, etc, etc.....and just put em on pause for a couple days. The bodily ramifications from the hangover will pass. THEN pick up where you left off. Right now, you just need to be in ‘take care of myself’ mode. Lighten up! This perspective / state will pass!

Perhaps, you are not your idea of God, nor your idea of special. Maybe you can be humble enough to see you’ve never experienced God, nor “special”, making it possible to see you have only experienced God, only a “miracle” which is literally unexplainable. All that is experienced, is the relationship between you and You. Between what is seen, heard, thought - and the Truth “within” you. you know this Truth “within” you as emotions, feelings. Each thought “bounces off” the Truth, within you. your only task, is to listen to what it says. If a thought arises which dimishes yourself, and the Truth says to you, via emotion - “doesn’t feel good”, that is how you can know it not’s true. No need to engage, no need to avoid, no need to analyze - only listen. Then, there is no separation, no fragmentation, no relationship, no science needed, no psychology. And you will laugh, because you, were always, You.

Great post, and... That is already the situation, and..... The wisdom is present within you already. ??

Then what do “you” “do” “next”? What do YOU think insane is?

Grave assumptions.

@FredFred There is no such thing as a thing. “Physical” is a belief, of Fred’s. There is no you arising, no physicality arising - “Arising” is not actual. If you really desire Truth, go ahead and start a google search about what physical is, what “physical things” are made of. Or, of course, skip that, and self inquire directly.

@Patang Nice! That’s a pun wonderland right there.

@SageModeAustin In acceptance, which is love, there can be a life of “Leapin & hoppin”.’.

@Patang ? “When you believe in ‘things’ that you don’t understand - you suffer. Superstition ain’t the way” “And though the odds say improbable What do they know For in romance All true love needs is a chance And maybe with a chance you will find You too like I Overjoyed, over love, over you” ♥️

@Pouya Are you realizing the connection in these topics...boredom, thinking, meditation, the truth?

I don’t. Believing a thought = meaning.

@Jack River All U bro ❤️

? If you want to, you can also notice, all of that awesomeness there happened only within you. Your observation, your perspective, your feelings of awesomeness. You can see it’s always there, and it’s not the least bit pushy or demanding. You go do whatever, get lost in whatever. The awesomeness does not leave, it just does not demand attention or precedence. It is unconditional. Your awesomeness is patient because it is boundless, and timeless.

See what ‘me’ is, and the questions of reincarnation no longer make any sense. Do you really see that? Or do you continue attempting to utliize logic? (Thinking) What was your experience of rebirth like? Can you describe it? How do you now it’s true? How do you know it’s a fact? What do you even mean by verify? How do you know that? Do you have any experience of that happening?

Ya? How do you know that?

Oh ya? How do you know that?

Oneness means nonunion, no inside, no outside, no one else, no illusion, no degrees. Oneness is meaningless.

@Hellspeed And humor.

It could help to distinguish between beliefs (“I really want to believe Leo”), thoughts (your entire post references your thought, not the actuality of), and actuality (you, now).

@Ampresus The Do Nothing method is often considered an advanced practice. If it’s hard to “be the observer” of thoughts, or, to get some ‘space’, it might be from typically being attached to thoughts, so a simple & relaxing stomach breathe focus meditation could give you a break from thoughts, thus realizing the ‘space’, and how it is they can be observed without engagement. There are some helpful instructions here, as well as an Awareness of Thoughts Meditation you might want to check out: Nonduality & Meditations

Precisely! I suppose one man’s practical tip is another’s nonduality lesson.
