@Anna1 Yes, that is what I said. There are so many words through this post. It is a far more simple thing than the context here. If you say I and mean a human by your name, you are not enlightened. If you live, go by a name, "are" a human, but your "I" is awareness, everything - then you are enlightened. Honesty supersedes, all else is just words and meaning can not possibly be known and so are fruitless. All the books and teachers are hamster wheels with carrots. Unnecessary and typically hindering. There is someone who meditates properly and someone who doesn't. It can be expedited, but otherwise can be obtained very simply, over time. The hero's journey however, is entirely different and it seems that's where so much confusion comes from.

The end is what you mean by "I".

@Himanshu love this post man. im in agreement, God, everything, superposition, the one... it seems to me our imagination shares the same properties in a literal observable way, and all are one in the same. I know Leo says we are more just computers, but I don't feel like a computer and from what I can tell, my computer doesn't feel at all. Perhaps one day I will attain that level of wisdom. I have seen that all is nonmaterial oneness, but I was seeing none the less. It is strikingly bizarre how science verifies & utilizes the levels of matter and makes computers, quartz crystals, satalites, etc and we still ask ourselves if that substance is within us.

@S33K3R depends on how u feel

Brain waves do not equate to a decision, they represent activity.

Entanglement, superposition.

When I saw that it's all beliefs it made it much easier to see my beliefs and see beyond them.

@aniss get a job anywhere and out work everyone, opportunities will come out of the woodwork. don't pass up any of them

@Wouter I feel you but I have different wants and preferences. You're the only one experiencing what your filtering down to this "life", as am I. So, something is generic only because you say it is. Money is only "earned" if you say it is. I don't hold those perspectives. I'm not trying to rip on your preferences at all, but I think you are boxing opportunities out. In my world, I want it all. I have come to appreciate incomes that are residual and passive so I don't have to work and have time for actualization, family, music, art, hobbies, fitness, travel, etc. Furthermore, I love not having a boss at all. What do I see as a "gap in the market"...I'm trying to get my mind there but I'm overwhelmed with how much money there is to be made helping people. I'm not "find the gaps" minded I guess. I wish I had a little more to offer on that. Godspeed my friend, I wish you the best.

@Dodo Is it possible, perhaps, that God is missing nothing? There is no separation, only perception. Ant's probably can't perceive the view from 6 feet above on hundreds of them. A wise man once said "we all do it the same way".

@Alii It's all energy. Right in front of my face. Right inside my face. Can't find a miracle in miracles. Can't find a God in God. Can't find a me in me. It's all energy. Were it not limited by me, the light would drown me in unconditional love & blindness.

@ajasatya ?

@nexusoflife Love em. I think in the future his work with stem cells and aging will be regarded very highly. There's a lot of red tape for him currently. Biocenstrism strikes me as trying to bridge levels of systems. He's obviously a pioneer. I hope he lives a long life. At his current pace, even bigger things are sure to come.

@ajasatya Are you enlightened? Actually, no need to answer that. You're probably the nicest human I've ever come across and I'm not trying to put you on the spot. Really, I wonder, how does one know if they are enlightened because there is no objective anything to relate it to. It's only relative to one' own connotations. Right? I feel you will say I am wrong and I'm hoping to learn something in your explaination. Thanks in advance (in hopes of)

@Salaam "No problem. I guess a clearer answer to your question would be my energy "ends" and the world's "begins" in the zone upon which the edges of their different patterns interact and change in response to each other." Can you describe the 'response' from and to each party (based on your assertion they are seperate, even if in some intellectual way)?

@Brivido The key is only holding your thoughts. Sounds simple. Notice how often your thoughts switch to what someone else thinks, or some fictional perspective about what you think someone or everyone else thinks, or another repetition of an old thought you don't even want. Keep on your own thoughts, now, and build momentum. We are all getting what we are focusing on, or not. Inescapable. Miraculous.

@John Are you leaving the matrix or not?! There is no purple pill. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wauzrPn0cfg

@Max_V You can pick how you see enlightenment and 'normal'. You can agree or not. It is fundamentally up to you. Let the concept of hierchy go. Get everyone on the same level. Listen to someone who is the example of what you wish to experience.

@nexusoflife I think you need some WHY in your days. Why are you going to college/ Why are you working? Why are you doing / seeking development? Perhaps if some of your perspective was along the lines of the reasons you're working and going to school are to secure some financial foundation for your future that might contribute to more inspired days vs depressed ones you might be in the light again. It's all relative. You could be a lazy do nothing bum, but instead you're doing a lot with your life. It does add up and amount to something. Your current perspective seems relative to some perfect scenario. Careful what you place your perspective against. Can you get away for a few days to allow a bigger perspective to come back? That always helps me.

People have a long history of writing inspired words and believing what others say and write about God. Whatever there is, could it really be captured by any human's capacity? When any words are applied, it's no longer God.

@Salaam thanks again. Great read, but I can't find an answer in there. So far, in my experience, it doesn't seem that that are separations, other than beliefs. I look though, which seems to reinforce my belief to the contrary. After all, everything, me, you, all superposition. I think we have much more in common than not. words, words, words.

@Salaam No worries man It seems to me we are both getting along wonderfully in the world. I appreciate your insights, and the variety of ways we can all find our happiness, wether we call it working hard & getting rewarded, manifesting, getting lucky, progress, growth, opportunities, whatever. All just words we use to describe energies. I am curious, because you mentioned quantum physics...maybe you have an answer for something I have never been able to find....we both know that at the root, it's all energy....where does yours end and the world's begin?

@Natasha It's so perfectly convincing.

@nexusoflife I felt like that in my past. The current state of the world is where the current median of consciousness is. Do you want to go back? Me neither. All the darkness in the Universe is not enough to extinguish a single candle. (Rumi?) You will get more of what you focus on. Your awareness of it is the biggest step. This is a giant trap though, letting your thoughts astray to the shortcomings of the world. Pick one thing and help. Let the world go. Be the change you wish to see in the world. (Gandhi maybe ?) These saying mean very little to youth. They are of the deepest wisdoms to the experienced. Do yourself a solid and get what you want to be focusing on in front of you. Do it, say it, think it, play it, watch it....and you will become it. Be like water (Bruce m'f'n Lee). Then, your're in a real position to do anything about anything. Very sorry to hear you lost your mom so young.
