@BjarkeT honesty

It’s all relative imo. When I worked in retail, 9-5 sounded great. Now, 9-5 does not sound great. One person might do their dream job 9-5, another bout ready to hang them self, another uses the 9-5 to fund the seeds of their start up company, and yet another has no preference at all. Overall, I think seeing one’s potential and being without fear is what’s important. Realizing one’s true freedom of mind is paramount.

Hot lemon water or ginseng tea. ?

@K VIL We don’t.

@Visionary I see what you described in the first paragraph regularly. To me it seems like a visualization of the fabric of the illusion. It’s there where nothing is and has color and shape properties (and geometrical), and it’s also translucent. If you get comfy with that substance, you’re in for some awesomeness inconsistent reality wise. The dimensions part sounds like a speedy removal of your thought constructs.

@Yonkon yes. Assigning one’s own meaning to something else can make things tough.

@Ether what meaning have you created for “drugs”?

@Yonkon kinda screwed yourself outta the gate with that belief. Everything is filtered through that belief. It’s just a thought you keep repeating. Contemplate the source - where you picked that thought up.

@Christian what happens when you sit to meditate?

?❤️

@HII Don’t end up not relaxed and you’ll have nothing to solve. . Stomach breathing all day, early morning meditation everyday & maintain that state as far through the day as possible, exercise every morning. Notice what arises, notice your ‘about to not be relaxed anymore’ response.

@Christian what are the things you want to do?

Just think of the odds for a minute. “Billions of years in the making” and you just happen to be alive right now, when evolution produces a thinking organism which, if well practiced, can realize it is actually The One. Here you are, right at the unbelievably tiny little slice where this experience of the veil and unveiling to know thy self is. Not lacking any energy or intelligence needed to discover this, and not existing in a time when it is common knowledge you grew up with the knowing. What are the odds of that? At the very least, I’d be suspicious of the entire interaction. The luck is just far to good to be true.

@Principium Nexus at the least, they see the option, and know the difference.??

@KieranWicklow It was too high of a dose too soon, that’s all. Try not to attach that experience to the overall process at large. Just keep doing your daily practices, you’ll know when you’re ready for more. You’re naturally healing and will be back at 100 soon. ❤️

@Peter Zemskov even though you are perfectly still, be like a lion ready to pounce at any moment. Be so aware of every nuance within every sound, that you hear the silence.

@nick96 you’ll like Matt Kahn, if you don’t already. He’s pretty solid on the open heart front.

@doronshadmi thats awesome. (Your avatar)

Transcend suffering , be happy for a while, help others with their suffering, be joyful for life.

you had me at Fragellum. cool post man.

@Serotoninluv you've got the clarity & distinctions, and you have them all up in your head. you get to live it now, you lucky SOB. They are your experience, right now, right in front of you. The One that you are, she is that same One. Right in front of you. walking and talking. Right in front of you.

keep a journal, it helps when you go back and read what you wrote weeks or months ago, to see your expansion. in a couple months, read your old posts through your profile page. you will see a big difference. it can be tricky, because one of the benefits is longer term thinking. you want and need it, we all do. just keep meditating, twice a day is twice as good. you are here, at actualize.org, you have come far already. A case could be made that you have done the hardest part, the part anyone rarely does. you made the decision to make yourself a better person. ?pretend somebody else wrote this post, and read your contributions a few times from top to bottom. I wager you'll see something right now.

@Heart of Space paradigms can be transcended. i laughed at people who said they experienced ufo's, had out of body incidents, experienced the truth, samadhi, experienced they are everyone and behind everything, etc. Thanks to the practices, I have experienced those things. Still laughing, just alone. There is no seperation. It really is all you. That's not helpful to hear, I acknowledge that. There are no words that can communicate to you that you are creating your life. That's inherent. The veil gets lifted no matter what you do. The variable is before or after physical death. I am in a perpetual state of amazement that I have experienced the truth, and still get to do what I'm doing right now. I trust that is of zero help also. I can ramble on the practical benefits if you like, but many years ago, I would not have believed any of what I would tell you now. I'm glad I didn't. a boiled down point- I stopped doing what thwarted me, I started doing what aligned me. Punchline was revealed much later. We all have our challenges. I finally did whatever it took. I hope no one has to get as low to get going, but that's the beauty in it. That's the experience. The rest is up to us.

@Ilya maybe spend a couple days getting ready to be ready. Just try to pick nice perspective, that meditation is good, that self inquiry is good.
