I would loosely estimate that for the average person, 99% of awakening, is food. The hardest part, is admitting your’re asleep. Fuck bread, fuck sugar, fuck preservatives - choose your life instead. Make how you feel first. Make how something tastes a distant second. “You’ll” never regret it, because freedom. Just put yourself aside for a few days.

@Gabriel Pinto Personal development - work for yourself, be self employed. A “job” or employer could be a great fit, perfect PD coach for you, then she could quit the next day, and some idiot replaces them, because the stock quote is leading the company. Think about this- You WILL do, what you WILL do. There is no other way. It’s only yours to pick. PICK.

You have yet to do a single thing on the path. To even lift a finger, to read the first wise word, to simply give up food preference, to manage the needs of the body, to sit and silently surrender. None of this has even occurred to you, actually starting will never happen for you. You have not digested a single word of any book you’ve ever read, and don’t bother reading them again as you, no matter what you do in your life, will never even obtain the capacity to understand the first word, of the first page, of the first book. There is no such thing as spirituality, nor enlightenment. The world is literal hell, and there is no escaping, ever. It’s a loop of hell. “God” is the Devil’s cruel cruel sick joke. A joke you will always fall short of comprehending. There is not a thing you can do to better this situation, literally nothing. It will only progressively get worse until you can no longer withstand the mental torture, and you are simply reborn, and will do it all again, with every nuance of pain reincorporated into deepening the nuances of your torture and anguish. Hope is a falsity.

@Charlotte you too! ❤️

@Sri Ramana Maharshi There is endless love for you here.

Unconditional love is as elusive as the I.

@jillmars7 Reads like an advertisement for meditation. You can escape all that conditioning, and it’s pure joy. The joy is already there, now. It’s covered with layers of shit.

Imagine your life without the ego.

Free will is silly. It’s like telling yourself a joke and wondering if you’ll laugh at the punchline.

@Vintus It’s unimaginable. There’s what you see with your eyes, which you can think about, and you can be aware of that thinking, you can even just be being which is awareness without thought, but you can’t soberly imagine a psychedelic trip. Start small, if you do shrooms, make tea and start with .5g (dried shroom) or maybe 1g. The psychedelic isn’t the focal part though, the integration is. It’s not about the trip, it’s about reality and your life. Psychedelics will show you more about your life than you can imagine right now. That’s how ‘big’. IMO, a foundation of honesty, healthy diet, meditation, and exercise should be in place for a month or two before trying a psychedelic. I’m an over preparer though, but I never had a ‘bad trip’ either.

By observing their emotion.

@JohnDoe Imagine a million ants just carrying on, doing ant stuff, and there is a colorless cloud encompassing all of them. Each ant thinks it’s an ant because it can’t perceive the cloud. In actuality, the cloud is real, and it’s imagining all the ants. The cloud just has a kick ass imagination. Like, top notch. It imagines ants which imagine ant stuff, like clouds.

@starsofclay The point is the emotion. Falsities feel like shit but we are at a loss even knowing why we feel like shit. Truth in experience / perspective feels amazing. Everything makes sense.

What’s revealed in enlightenment, is that the entire thing, the whole production, the big show, all that is, is you. There was never any truth to the mystics, or books, or literally anything. It’s you. You are the only truth. This is the ‘cosmic joke’. There’s no cosmos, or Jesus, or Buddha, or “we” or “us” or “him” it’s all you. There are many clues, pertinent ones that comes to mind are the “evidentiary” findings for those like Jesus and Siddartha. That they lived could not be proven, nor disproven. Another clue that comes to mind is how physicists are mindful to use the term “observable” before the word universe. A dream has no end, because it is a dream. There’s no edge because it’s not ‘real’, in terms of what is implied by the word ‘physical’. There is no physical and nonphysical. Just God, you. “Physical” is appearance. Is this not what is meant with the word enlightenment? The quotes of the masters and books of the ancients are great, but enlightenment reveals you wrote them. Just for fun, read the Bible, especially the judgement day content, in the light that you wrote it, so that in the dream, you could read what you wrote to yourself, to enlighten you. ****If this offends you in any way, as religion convo’s sometimes can seem offensive, please know I have no intention to be offensive. Just talking to myself. *****My grandma’s 88 and Catholic, so I know what I’m talking about.lol

What a great thread man. Couple questions for anyone if you’re interested in commenting.... In terms of taking responsibility, what would you say to an adult who was molested as a child? Also Faceless, you mentioned non-violence is an action of violence, what do you mean by that? Thanks!

@Elisabeth Awesome news! I’m sure it will help. ❤️ I hear you on disidentifying from the role. That’s really great. Gives us more ‘space’.

Everything you said there, is a thought. You recognize it’s a thought (thinking), because you are not the thoughts (brain). You, are aware of this. That you can even comment on the change in state of mind, reveals to you, you are the awareness of it.

@EmptinessDncing Try taking a piece of paper, write “thinking” on one side, write “awareness” on the other. Keep that paper in a prominent place. Use it. One side or the other. The earlier in the day the better. Use it to build even more clarity, momentum and depth in the distinction between thinking about a past event, and being present now in only awareness. Remember, you’re not the thoughts, so thinking should seem funny and light - equal to the function of your finger. Time for recovery is critical in intense athletic training; the space between is as important as the notes that make any piece of music; every wave is a peak and a valley; and there are seasons. These things are True of You, in ‘here’. So you might consider a retreat - from everything. A few days with no work, no learning, no personal development, forget about enlightenment, forget actualizing, etc. Give yourself a chance (out of all your familiar patterns) to remember, you’re doing the whole ‘show’. You’ll remember your awesome and you love being you, like, a lot. Might even be that the degree that you can deeply let go of all of it, the clearer and more joyful it will all be when you return. All you’ve done in your life has a chance to surface more fully. A trusting acceptance and eagerness of the uncertainty ahead arises once again. It’s for you, that’s why you called it the present. And there is more. Embodiment and consciousness work- in a dream, there can always be more. But from here, if I’m reading you right, the way is only light, childlike, innocent, free. Embodying unconditional love can not be done seriously. Also, it takes a full surrender - it takes all of the relativity.

@Prabhaker Thank you. I love you.

Now is appearance within nothingness. This is what you are, absolute nothingness, experiencing an appearance of you as people and things and universe, etc. It’s an experience of Self, in comparison to something specifically in the body, which is just a thought happening in the now. Any way you slice it, it’s you.

@Andre Quinonez Here’s a couple scenarios for realization from comparison... Doesn’t meditate, doesn’t believe in consciousness work, mostly a domino; eating for immediate gratification, overweight, emotions aligned with senses and false sense of self, stress of this inhibits optimal functions of the body, taking viagra, etc. Identifies with stress, no clarity between sex drive and awareness. Meditates, does the consciousness work, realization of domino situation and liberated from it, no mental resistence - see’s fun is the only point, chooses food aligned with health and well being, realizes previous delusion of false self, emotions relative to absolute, no stress, sex is awesome and without inner mental turmoil of the desire rollcoaster. Genes are alive & well and selfishly fighting for survival in the dream. Awareness of it changes.

@Haumea I’m guessing that’s what the implication of the blue pearl is.

@Haumea Great link. It all read so true and accurate, that I’m wondering about the blue pearl.

@Shanmugam Just messin with ya. ?❤️
