@Spence94 If you’re feeling negative emotion, you are experiencing something with far less awareness than you are capable of using, and that does not feel good enough for you, because you know you know better and are not applying what you already know. How else could it be possible to feel bad? The very experience requires two points of relativity. One is the way you’re seeing it, the other is the way you could be.

@Jedd A good new hire is a highly coachable student who does the practices every day before arriving. They assimilate the information & organize it, making full use of it. They can apply their highlights of their own personality creatively to production that would otherwise be repetitive and monotonous. Attitude is everything.

@DEV we’re human beings. Not humans being X or Y. The being is nondual. The Self imposed duality ‘splits’ make for the unique specific experiences. The illusion is that we are “beings”, but I find, we are Being. Any definition is self imposed duality.

@nexusoflife That’s great!

I hear ya! Thank God for psychedelics! One can have his cake and eat it too. All is possible. The Devil’s in the rush.

@nexusoflife What a share! Thanks! ❤️? and....I wanna read that book when it’s done!

I like the disappearing act.

@zunnyman Thank you for your inspiration! One more note, and I’m not trying to be semantical...but...I have not “showed you the significance” of what you’re about to do. I get what you meant, and thank you - but, only you could do that. You’ll see.....muahhhh ahhhh ahhh!!! I am loving being a spectator though! You got balls of steel bro!

@How to be wise You’re unstoppable. So where is the motivation to come from now that you have realized the magnitude of your undertaking? If you haven’t, read Outliers, the book of the 10,000 hours study. That book is about people who were unstoppable, and I think you would relate and that would prime your mind so to speak, ‘reconnect you’, and get you back to loving being ‘whatever it takes’. “Whip whip - run me like a race horse, pull me like a ripcord, break me down and build me up - cause I love the adrenaline in my veins, I love how it feels to break the chains - take me to the top, I’m ready for whatever it takes”. - Dan Reynolds We all love that feeling. It’s the worthwhile one.

@Leo Gura The bookmark enhancements are fantastic. Thanks!

@How to be wise With enough practice, you won’t have to watch your thought patterns. You’re right, of course that’s not enough.

@JubRani I started a business because I wanted freedom. My freedom inspires me to really love my business. Have both means of inspiration at your disposal, use each as acutely and effectively as possible. This is like the obliteration of the self, and the development of the self. There is expansion in either, and the implemented concentrated power of both is unstoppable. No one can compete with someone who is not competing. Expansion has no competitor.

@phoenix666 “psychedelics invited me” - love that!

@zunnyman This is what I was thinking too. I have done multiple week solo retreats with a couple trips mixed in, in cities and alone in the deep woods. So, I’m excited for you, forgive me for being ‘advicy’........Eat as clean as possible starting now, you’ll get deeper in the trips and med’s. (You may already eat ‘clean’ idk) Also, from now till then, be letting every thought go. When the “realness” of your life’s ongoings happen, take that little moment first, right away, and let the reactions and thoughts go (you may already be here ) Empty the cup out and those 2 weeks can fill it and change everything. Everything! (I don’t mean to imply you or your life need changing, - I am not referring to your life, I mean everything... literally) My advice, and I really hope you do this, is to write or type (print it though!) a few pages out ( before the 2 weeks starts) about how you see things in terms of yourself, your family, friends, coworkers perhaps....the ‘world’ stuff; economics, society, history, science, neurology, biology, whatever reality is, whatever God is, whatever else you think of in terms of your views and perspectives. In that 2 weeks, you’re going to go through some serious change in your understanding of all those things. It’s likely (if you’ve done your research and play it smart trip wise) that you will be in a state where you can not imagine ever needing to write any of it down. The insight / epiphanies / revelations will have an obviousness to them that is currently unimaginable. Again, there will be a strong being-ness of “I see it now, how could I ever possibly forget”. THAT, is essentially the message I’m trying to communicate. “It’s so amazing, how could I ever not see this?”. But we get back to our ‘lives’, and we start thinking about our stuff to do, and it can fade a little. All part of the process / path, all is well. It can fade a little, and it can even slip just far enough away for us to struggle sometimes to grasp. But there’s a hell of a trail of breadcrumbs available, if you lay them. For example, if after those 2 weeks, you were to look at your first posts on actualized, or maybe stories or poems you wrote, or anything like that, you will instantly become aware of and realize REAL-IZE the difference in your consciousness. It may be a way of circumventing the “forgetting & remembering, forgetting & remembering” process the majority of us seekers go through - I assume....I did at least...and I see it as a theme on the forum. I suggest it could expedite your expansion, saving you months years, or even decades. After the 2 weeks, look at what you wrote about your world - your life, and all of your worldly views. I bet you have never laughed so hard or felt such a release in your life as when you read what you wrote. It will bring the ‘trip’ right back to you - the insights, etc. You could be a clear ‘before & after’ on actualized.org. That could potentially help millions of people to come, in a most unique, precise and significant way. You could write all that I suggested in a post, and then after your trips / retreat, write your perspective on all the same things. I think doing that is perhaps the fastest possible growth you could gift to yourself. You will Real-I’ve it more, and so many people will see not only is it possible, they will get to read how & why. Godspeed and enjoy every minute of it you lucky sob!!!! ?

@cirkussmile @Richard Alpert It was impossible for me without meditation. Tolle though, not so much from what I’ve read. Complete surrender seems more of a staple thread to me.

If you became aware of awareness, what would you have become aware of?

@Ether keep returning your focus to breathing in your stomach. Keep relaxing deeper and deeper.

@PetarKa all questions are Self inquiry. All answers are Self discovery.

@alyra Yes! Also...words, wisdom, time, people, meaning, claims, awareness, everywhere, true wisdom, good wisdom and anything a person needs - don’t exist. So of course Nothing could be lost! You’ve got me tripping balls on reality again. Thank you so much!!!!

@alyra ❤️ Everybody's lookin' for somethin' Somethin' to fill in the holes We think a lot but don't talk much about it 'Til things get out of control Oh, how do I know when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love It's just something you feel together When it's love❣️ You look at every face in a crowd Some shine and some keep you guessin' Waiting for someone to come into focus Teach you your final love lesson How do I know when it's love I can't tell you but it lasts forever How does it feel when it's love It's just something you feel together When it’s love, it lasts forever. Sounds a little like this other permanent thing that comes up on the forum now and again. And again and again and again infinitly Sammy might be on to some thing. He might even be on some thing. ❤️?

@Adam M Yo Adam, what is reality? What is an image? That’s what you were made from. What is an image? When you know, you’ll fall to the floor in tears & love. It’s epic. Biblical & Epic.

Everyone and everything is you- doing your best to help you through this wild ride. Have you missed this? Look around you Now.

@alyra there is a different between living with your own paradoxes, which you are unaware due to the nature of paradox - and living in an illusion with “people” still in there paradox’s. The latter is very easy. Enjoy duality. It’s the final paradox. ❤️☠️

@pluto where are each of us when we realize we are on the path? That’s why. I was buried and left for dead in the aftermath of my self. I needed some Meditation. Much to let go. Lots of illusion I needed to see for what is Is.

I just asked consciousness what it is......ok.......it asked me what is consciousness.
