Nahm

@Empty Why do you think Allah would do that? As in, what reason would Allah have?

@DecemberFlower Post a picture of the entity. Or maybe it’s just a thought, let it pass if so. Return to your meditation.

Wow. So helpful. Much appreciation to everyone! Guys got me doin some pretty deep divin. ??❤️

@pluto ?

@Mikael89 Keep rockin the path then. The sooner you find that wisdom the better. You’re gonna want as much time left as possible, to love. Godspeed.

@Ingit I say write a book review. ?. (Just plantin a seed there. Lol)

@cirkussmile LMAO.

@Ingit You can become aware of all things, from the room you are sitting in, down to nothing and no things. You can be aware you are behind homeostasis.

Sounds like you’re doing really well and have come quite a way. You’ll be a great doctor. For that sleepiness, consider getting some exercise every morning. Also, try meditation after the exercise, rather than at night, twice a day, or both, would be even better. You might see that the worries & doubts labeled “my” or “mine” or just things passing through. If you attach identity and ownership, they tend to stay. You can experience them fully, as sensation, and see that ‘going in it’ (the sensation), releases it. I think Rumi said “the cure is in the pain” or something close to that.

And how are you liking this life, these choices you’ve made, these days you’re having?

@7thLetter No need to equate spending time with practices, with being socially withdrawn, anymore than choosing between drinking water or urinating. Both is fine, plenty of time for each. You are laying the very groundwork you seek to surrender. Contemplate, where did I pick up this need for people to understand me? Who, in my past, never understood me? When did I put this filter of ‘people don’t understand me’ on? Intellectual stimulation is mental masterbation, self inquiry is in bloom. Both are just fine, but you could use more of the latter, imo. See how you make small talk meaningless, but you value intellectual stimulation - this stands to support your ego, that “you” are an intellectual. But you are so far beyond that. Everone will always be thinking differently than you, can you even imagine a world of 7 billion 7thLetter’s? How boring would that be for you? The uniqueness is the beauty. Furthermore, is that really even your direct experience? - that there are other people, and that they are thinking? Hard to hang with people with diffferent values? Realize the falsity of your own values, you can love everyone, no judgement needed. Don’t box everyone out for your intelligence / ego, bring everyone in for love, for your happiness, for their happiness, and watch your energy go through the roof. Consider all that you expressed in you op is the result of being directionless, or thus far, not having sat down, and written out / drawn / created / manifested / planned - your life. What you want. Where you’re headed. Do this, you’ll see the miracle of sychronicty as all of relativity aligns to your knowing you are a creator of dreams. Everything is already relative to you. You are already the center of the universe. You are free, already. Dream big. You can let go of that. You can see the love, the YOU in people. If you see the dysfunction to the degree it bothers you and you are isolating yourself, consider, that is a dysfunction you created in your perception, and because you added it, you can surrender it. Aren’t you simply perpetuating dysfunction, and blaming others for yours? There is a large amount of judgment and dismissing people going on - it’s simply over thinking, distracting you from this otherwise perfect miracle now. People, society, relationships can’t ‘fix’ this for you. What if right now, everyone understood you, and held your intellectual mastery in the highest regard. You think you’d feel more connected, more love, happier? Or would it only disconnect you more? Learn, develop, of course, just see how it can have nothing to do with anyone else. You developed and created over thinking all on your own, and you can let it go too. This ‘fabric between us’, this ‘objective reality’ is love, and adding anything to it, is counter productive to well being, because it’s false. Your inner compass has never told you otherwise. “2 ears 1 mouth” by design.

@Ingit Describe the “I” involved. Tired & sleepy; How’s the diet? Listening to the conscience / “inner being” in terms of what food to eat, or do you ignore it and go to Taco Bell etc? What does your daily excecise look like? What is normal, but a way you make yourself feel bad, by making comparisons to others or a fictitious “normal” which you have never actually seen, reinforcing your frustrations? Normal is a thought you can surrender. In ages, there are natural developments. No need whatsoever in making life harder by framing ‘normal’ and ‘not normal’. What you want is health, alignment, to feel your best, to be the unique expression you intended to be. Normal can fuck off. You’re already worthy.

@Ingit Can you see recontectualizing “mentally strong” and “negative” as egoic preferences? And “stability”, as without imposing preference, without judgment of what is? What is relapsing, and then, what is coping? Is awareness really involved in these things / thoughts, or merely witnessing and allowing what is? A useful practice might be to, in meditation, pack all that into a solid, dense, metallic ball with your hands, really feel it, smell the metal, etc - then place the ball on a track in front of you, and push it. Hear it rolling away, feel the vibration in the ground as it rolls away...so far away, until it is out of sight, and out of mind.

@Nexeternity Look into CIPA, epigenteics, and mind body interventions. There’s some research out there and some related practices.

@Andrey “Well-reasoned” ....... “well conditioned” or acceptable & agreeable to society? Could you be more well-reasoned than for your real-I-zation to transcend reason? Consider the possibility that people are not intelligent and reasonable, but rather brains are filters of infinite intelligence, as a means which makes possible ‘your’ human experience, by convincing yourself of the possession of intelligence. What’s “reasonable”, anyways? Isn’t that opinion? If you really look, aren’t you just as unreasonable as reasonable?

Nailed it.

Nice. All hail Gafarassadaba!

@tentacion Execellent! Funny how nobody bats an eye if you talk about the unknown unseeable force which holds the whole experience together with absolute perfection, as long as you use the word gravity.

@Scholar Take the Joy that we are, fragment it, diminish it, add overeating, unhealthy food, an ego based society, over stimulation, over thinking, over competing, addictions, denial, and some blame, and it’s suffering.

@ajasatya I hear ya. @AMS Take a look at spiral dynamics. Interest in this topic might be green callin ya in. ? Veganism and vegetarianism were very foreign to me at one time, but I tried it and the difference, ime, in clarity, energy, sesitivity, and overall health really can’t be expressed. It’s so worth trying out.

@kieranperez ?? Happy for ya! You can do anything you set your mind to, and I know you have the stamina & endurance, no doubt there.

@Ook Infinity is infinity (awareness). There isn’t infinity #1, aware of infinity #2, nor Infinity aware of a “you”, you’re already it. Thought is the veil. You can’t comprehend “why”, cognitively, but you can know. It’s better to exhaust thought, with self inquiry - to “empty the cup”, and or meditate into samadhi. “Why am i not aware of myself at all?” Because you’re only aware of yourself, there isn’t anything other than you to be aware of, if there was, you’d know something about yourself instantly, by comparison. It’s the obviousness that makes it difficult to see.

Q: What is love and truth? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: “There is a strange relationship between love and truth? If there is a competition between love and truth, it is the love that will win. It is the fear of losing love that makes someone tell lies to the most loved ones. They are afraid of losing their love if they tell the truth. So which is powerful? Love is powerful. And it should be that way. What is love? If you have not known, there is no way you will know. Even a single creature on this planet cannot say that it doesn’t know love. Because that is our second experience. Our first experience was pain. The first nine months were easy, we were fed for 9 months in a comfortable warm environment. Then suddenly you have to come through a narrow passage which was so painful, with your head getting stuck. It was very painful experience. They cry because of this pain. A baby makes so many funny gestures and faces the first few days, because they did such a great job of getting out like moving a mountain. After the pain, they look into the mother’s face and catch the love of the mother. They realize that they are love, and know that there is nothing but love. By the age of three they start to forget. That is when the intellect starts to form, asking 101 questions. They keep asking questions. Half the time they don’t even listen to the answers. So what is truth? This is the most mature question. You can know love but you cannot tell the truth. Truth is that which is unaffected by time. With this definition, all that you see is not truth, isn’t it? This building is not the truth. It didn’t exist in the past and it may not exit in the future. Same for the body. It was not there in the past and will not be there in future. Everything that is changing is not true. That which is true is not affected by time. Truth is that that existed, that exists and that will exist. The spirit of inquiry into what is that which is not affected by time, leads you to one substance that doesn’t change at all.”

@Sbilko Thought is one thing happening in the big bubble your body and brain are happening in. Thought makes distinctions; tree, cloud, thought, finger, sky, sun. These things appear separate, but they are all consciousnesness / awareness. The bubble is the knower, the awareness. The ‘things’ in the bubble don’t actually split up or divide the bubble. The bubble is like the light in the refrigerator, you can never tell it’s off, cause if you look, it’s on. If you could ‘see in the fridge’ without looking, or ‘when the light is off’, you’d see infinity, or superposition. Awareness is the looker, and the light, and the infinity (in this sub par analogy). When thought is accepted and allowed, thought is seen as like any other thing in the big bubble (all that is in your awareness). Then awareness stops believing thoughts. Then awareness is aware of awareness. Then thought has been exited, and there is a knowing. The knower, is realized to be the known. Being, love, awareness, consciousness, me, you, etc, all the same. You can’t believe the truth, because it’s not believable (thought). But without thought, without the acquired habit / conditioning of thought, what’s not true is no longer believable. Thinking about this, is like looking in the fridge over and over and saying, “see! Told ya”. Meditation, yoga, reiki, meditative nature walks, retreats, psychadelics, nondual theory...these are not more thinking. These are un-thinking. You can’t just think about them, you must do them. Thought will make 1000 attempts to trick you into not doing them. But if you do them anyways, you will know. ❤️ Thought = Resistance. Resistance is found nowhere, but in thoughts.
