@Lorcan ?❤️?? Have you tried this cheap little miracle.... Been using it every morning in the shower. When the head is tiledted sideways, and you relax deep into the sinuses / and dare I say pineal area, you can feel something open up, and then the salt water flows over or through the inside of the nose (septum maybe?), and I’d swear this little proccess has something to do with dmt, though I can’t explain it in any detail. If you try it, keep in mind it’s not just the flush, but this little ‘part’ that opens with the relaxing of the innards / sinuses. You can tell for sure once it relaxes enough, the water ‘flowing through’ to the other side (inside) is a very noticeable ‘opening up’. @Michael569 What I’ve read so far.... Reiki by William Lee. A traditional, historic, sacred perspective which refers you to the classes for the signs / symbols. Essential Reiki by Diane Stein. An outsiders discovery of reiki, it contains the symbols (frowned upon by some). The two were recommended to me by a master practitioner and are a good pair of perspectives. Of course, the class is where it’s at. It a hands on learning / self discovering.

No one has ever said it better. ❤️??

@Dan Arnautu In addition to that very intelligent comprehensive answer from @Michael569 .....consider taking a reiki class. I have an idea how this sounds, because it’s still new for me, but just a few days ago my wife & I woke up with sore throats, ears, sluggish, etc. I did reiki on myself, and it was completely gone in 10 minutes. Did reiki on my wife, and she was back to 100% within a few hours. Again, I know there is a very deep belief that there is a line somewhere, a mind body connection, but there isn’t. Maybe, sometimes, a cold is the universes way of saying, take today off, and read a reiki book. (If we can just remove that word, reiki, and see it as self love, real, energy, self love)

@kieranperez First, make a life worth waking up to. If you really want enlightenment, commit to excelling at all areas of your life, learn what codependency is (mentally, relative to dad), be the best employee - turn that 10 hours into 40, creating opportunities to make more where you’re already at, and simultaneously anywhere else. Master attitude, master the inner game. There is no time for what you dont want, not one thought. Shift from posting your “problems”, to informing us what your doing. Statements, no more questions, unless they are specific to assisting you. % of Californians employed 96% Median San Fran income: $77,734.00 Average studio rent in San Fran: $2,461 Average apartment rent in Stockton: $1,084 Min wage CA: 11$ x 40hrs = $440 x 4 weeks = $1,760 + 1 roommate (@40hrs x $11) = $3,520 $3,520 - 20% taxes = $2,816 - rent $1,084 = $1,732 for fun, LP, trans, food, ins, etc. You’re one attitude, one roommate, and one city from moving out. And this is just one way to look at it. The point here, is it’s how you look at it, not what you’re looking at.

@Wisebaxter What do you want most?

He’s bluffing.

Wait...”Hogwash”? Nice.

@Pharion That’s fantastic. Like the spinning top tells Decaprio if he’s in the reality, our clocks remind us we’re in a dream - and to live, now. Einstein would be proud!

@Joshe Thanks!

@Javfly33 Resonating with all that. This might not sound like the answer, but start from the bottom and check it all, everyday, you’ll need an A game everyday; sleep, diet, exercise, practices, mindfulness & stomach focused breath, & trips on weekends / vacations. Realistically it could still be done within a year (imo). You could make a case that it would be easier if you had 24 free hrs everyday, and of course there is someone who does, and gets lazy, and gets nowhere on the path. You could make a case that unfreedom is the best catalyst to discovering freedom, internally, financially, and in terms of time. I know a guy who was in college fulltime, had a fulltime job, and two part time jobs, and a wife and kid - and meditated twice a day. 8 hours of free time - everyday? That’s a lot. You’d have to commit fully to the fact that anything is possible. You’d have to realize there is zero time for doubtful thoughts. Familiar with Maslow’s pyramid?

And now I’m responding. Damn it!

@Serotoninluv Nailed it.

“Are my beliefs stage-orange hogwash, or in line with non duality?” “Im looking for the opinion of someone who is advanced in non dualism and spirituality and has the authority to judge this.” Beliefs aren’t ‘in’, and questions for others don’t arise ‘in’, nonduality. You are quite literally God. The rest of the post is basically ideologies. (Lovely ones though) SD’s is descriptive, not actuality, non-dually speaking. Observation is not ‘in’ nonduality. Values without yes, within, no. There’s no self & society anymore, only Being. And of course, all of that is ‘in’ nonduality.

@Rilles Ya! That made me think, it’s doubly weird, because we’re asleep in robot / reaction world / mode, not thinking about what the heck we’re even doing, and then discover awareness, and then eventually ‘live’ in the synchronicity / awareness, not thinking about what we’re doing. ? Like learning what all these words mean, and then becoming aware they don’t have any meaning.

English Baxter!! You know I don’t speak Spanish!

@Rilles Omg what a great question...”Are you directly experiencing the difference between thinking and awareness when you meditate?” It’s hard to remember that awareness is first a thought about something called “awareness”. That’s freakin weird.

@Wisebaxter That is a wise way to go. Also, sorry...the dreams ended upon the ‘threshold’ or realization of ‘no self’ / ‘Oneness’ of all things, along with the cessation of thinking. Nondual realization was later. Maybe 2-3 years later.

Awesome...Being! I’d say yes, you are on the right track. Since nonduality, no dreams, so in hindsight they appear to be attempts to autobalance upon ‘waking’, mostly to do with identity (s) at play.

Recently during another Reiki attunement, I had a (not sure what to call it) inner-mind-yet-real-psychedelic-though-I-wasn’t-tripping-vision of multicolor lotus flowers blooming from the center of my body out through it and then going outward infinitely. Nothing is known anymore, but, Yes, Yes, Yes - get to work on spirituality! (Is that even sensible / believable? That Reiki attunements are an actual thing? Lol! Ya know?!) It’s puzzle pieces for a while, until you see the whole puzzle. But at that point there’s no seeing. God isn’t intelligent, God is intelligence. It’s your toaster. Your pinky toe! Your hand! Lol. Reality sure does seem consistent / objective. Perfect in it’s apparent imperfection. Unreal man.

@AlwaysBeNice I’ll be shutting up now, thank you very much.

@Tearos Love is infinite, thinking is finite. Discover the love which is thinking. How? Get your heartbroke, etc. ? What is that ego?

Yeah but what isn’t a myth, really?

@wingsofwax Sound ready. Start with small doses. ? Excited for ya man.

@zambize Awesome & thanks. Also, my post was about Nonduality & words, is like psychedelics & words. How can a person who’s experienced finite understand infinitude. “Oneness” doesn’t really communicate Infinite, and “infinite” can never communicate the you of nonduality. Sounds like you are doing well on the path man. Godspeed??❤️

@Joshe Was just messin with ya.
