@Courtney Skip the ‘disorder’, that gets too much focus already, instead describe this “I” being referred to which has it. Can you share a detail or two about this “I”?

@Arkandeus Took my breath away. Beautiful. ??

@danton Possibly the greatest post I’ve seen. ??

@MiracleMan ❤️

@Cortex I know exactly what you mean. God is innocent. Not an easy one to explain, but I think you’re about to kick some path ass. I heard Jim Carrey once say in an interview, that was his big secret. He saw that no one really wanted to be grown up and serious. So he just said he wasn’t going to be serious. Ever. Can’t justify seriousness. Can’t be done. ❤️

@RashadJevon Welcome to the forum Rashad! Here’s what I see.. Watched a lot of videos and did a lot of reflection and maybe some contemplation on the nature of matter, reality, and self. Outcome: Beauty revealed, synchronicity experienced. Even nature’s little “evil stingers” are not seen as ‘other’. That’s really precious and it was nice of you to share it. You referred to this with the word “growth”, and identified with it, “my growth”. Furthermore, you are conveying a ‘big’ experience. “Merging with the world around me” - I hear that. I am feelin you there man. But the financial adventure, your journey to independence and freedom, that get coined “career”, “stagnant”, reasonable work”, “safe” “often do very poorly”, “large part of my issue”, “huge hurdle”, “fact”, “issues gaining work”,”serious difficulties”... I gotta be honest, I’m not feelin you there, and more honestly, I don’t want to feel like that. I bet you don’t want to either. So why do you feel like that about work? Because of what has transpired, what you’ve experienced? Well, getting stung by a bee is no picnic, but look at you now. Maybe there’s no such thing as failure. Maybe that’s growth. Perhaps, if you took that inspiration going outward to those around you, and redirected it inward, you’d develop yourself in that manor too, you’d start a little fire of vision in you, and you’d start to see the relativity in the world lining up with your focus, your desire - your vision. Opportunities might just come out of the woodwork. The interesting jobs, the exciting fulfilling career paths, your life purpose - might be just like the bees and the hornets. Maybe there is beauty to be revealed yet in that journey too. “I used to fear bees and hornets, and now I have a connection with them”. ”I used to fear jobs and careers, and now I have a connection with them”. ? Leo’s got some great videos about such things. You’ve in the right place. Keep in mind, you are the creator. Writing what you want on a piece of paper, is manifesting, it’s the begining of great things. Every thing was first an idea, and every blaze was first a tiny flame. One of the most powerful practices, is to simply sit, and do absolutely nothing. What arises is moving.

@MrDmitriiV lol. The map is the territory, too. (Nondual humor in hopes of a nondual laugh)

@Stoica Doru There’s no paradox. It hinges on you. If you are not enlightened, no one is. If “you” are enlightened, it is immediately revealed to you that everyone else already was, always has been, and always will be.

@ExodiaGearCEO ? Love your posts man.

@NoSelfSelf It’s peace.

@Elisabeth So great! ?

@Recursoinominado Have you written down your dream life?

@Aaron p You can’t think and breathe from your stomach at the same time.

@Recursoinominado When / where did you pick up that thinking / belief?

A true guru is like a psychadelic in that both reveal they don’t exist. You can continue believing they are enlightened, and you are not, but that won’t hold up to scrutiny. Any twoness is oneness - youness, Nothingness. They’re you. It’s futile because its false, so you have to repeat resistant thoughts to continue to believe this lie. Of course you’re depressed. You’re attempting to reduce what you are to finite. Stressful “path”. Lighten up. You’re in the set up. Try to see the punchline. Life is not serious. Don’t listen to me either. Ask yourself what’s true.

That’s your idea of success / reality, and as a vision of a future you yourself would want, it sucks - as in - it’s not true for you at all, and will never inspire. You are your own reality, shared objective reality is illusionary. There is no reason that you can’t be realized, actualized, a millionaire, a minimalist, spiritually fulfilled, devotedly compassionate, and meaninglessly drunk in the divinity of freedom / love.

@Aaron p Because you are infinite, Truth, and when you ‘shine the infinite light of awareness’ on anything finite, it reveals it’s not physically “real”, and not even ‘there’. Anything focused on and deconstructed disappears in scrutiny of what it truly is (you). Try to reframe this inquiry as a small rather than ‘big’ question. The simplest most efficient possible scenario is true. Thinking will have you believing there’s an objective “world” “you” are in. Awareness is aware of what actually is.

@GafaRassaDaba That sounds like a really rough entry and I feel for you. You must have been pretty open minded before the trip, to have such a glimpse. I hope you can remain open minded. As you’ve already experienced, sometimes what you know most, turns out to be opposite, and sometimes the depth makes precisely that difference. Psychadelics are a throw of the dice, I wouldn’t rule them out & assume you’ve digested the big picture, but I would look into some daily practices & theory to build a foundation first. As an analogy, I feel like you saw the photo, and now as you experience more, and surrender, let it settle, the details come more into focus, making all the difference. Some find freedom in infinity, some find unification in no-self, some find inner peace in love, some an effortlessness & synchronicity in their days. All of this is for you too. All of it. So if you can empty the cup again, there’s more. The one thing we can’t do, is filter now, through a lens of the past, through a memory, through a projection. That, begins the weaving of an “I” which “knows”. On a more personal, and relative note - Yogananda was awakened as a fetus. You might be one of those rare birds born with high consciousness, but not yet aware of this. There may very well be a GafaRassaDaba sized map in this yet.

Beautiful.

@GafaRassaDaba What are you finding unpleasant?

@Itay Spiegel That’s a very solid glimpse! The absolute in what’s attempting to grasp the absolute, so rather, ‘ungrasp’ everything else.

@Nevon Awesome!
