@Shin I can relate man. It's almost a bummer in a way, because we have these hopes that it will be magical, then after, it's as normal as anything else and we're on to the next hope and eventual normality.

@Shin @Paintballer AStral projection, or whatever name you apply, is as real as what we typically refer to as real. Once you do it, as Shin now has, you see it completely differently. Until you do it, typically, your relative understanding is that it is like a dream or a hallucination. This is conflation; since you haven't experienced it, you reference what you have experienced to make the best sense of it you can. It is not at all like a dream or hallucination.

@JoseM We can be aware of what's around us, find deeper richness & depths in the ordinary, every day. We can be mindful of what's within each of us, what we are. We can be mindful that no matter who you are, or what you have or haven't done, that your attention will always be the greatest gift you have to give. One draws on the illusion, the other on the mind.

@Afonso Clarity is not a property of information, it's a property of the observer (you). If you want the teachings to become clearer, you must increase your clarity. You are the one collapsing the wave, it can only be relative to you.

@No-Thing In the same manor we are energy and pursue our own individual energy, the world is pursing it's own energy. The big change will come with zero point energy, which has been around for a while, but is currently suppressed by means of patent purchase suppression. The irony is, there already is no shortage of energy, food, space, love. There is a perception of these shortages, but that's part of the separation / Big Bang. So, we will likely 'solve' this with technology & science (zero point energy) long before the awareness that there is plenty of food, water, etc happens on a global scale. We can wake up, but we can't wake someone else up. One thing. Big Bang. Seperate things. "Waking up" is remembering it's all still one thing. There are no shortages to a need, just as there are no problems without inherent solutions, or questions without inherent answers.

@ShadowWalker wow

@PretentiousHuman thank you!

@The Universe You were born enlightened. Then added a lot of shit. Let go off all that shit and you'll be back to where you started.

@zunnyman Time doesn't exist. This might help you to realize you're using a made up reason not to pursue everything you want in this life.

You could choose any feeling, any attitude, any contributing activity of any kind, and this is what you have chosen. I honestly, totally believe you when you state there is no enlightenment for you. I do wish you the best.

@Dan Arnautu for sure. Especially singers for some reason. Blessing in disguise though, that's what lead me to start singing in the first place.

@Dan Arnautu Never read that before. So glad you shared it. I'll share something too, might be helpful or up lifting. I started on guitar and vocals when I was around 14. I learned general rock and classical guitar. I played in bands for about 15 years. I was always the guy keeping the band drama low and keeping everyone fired up.I wrote, recorded and produced 3 albums. I learned proper singing techniques. I got over singing in front of lots of people by doing it many times. I dropped out of college to make money. Now, I have a blessed and fulfilled life. I learned about myself and people on many levels from the music and from my experience with it. I'm self employed, and I attribute the success of my business, mostly, to the music.

@Paintballer there is no external or internal world. It's all you. The separation you make is actually defined by you. If you don't see what I'm saying, just make a distinction as to where one ends and the other begins. Don't breathe, absorb radiation, bend light, shed skin, distort gravity or displace the unified field though, while you make your distinction, that wouldn't be fair.

@The White Belt you are so caught up in being you that you are opperating from that perspective. meditate every morning for at least 20 mins let every thought go. eventually, you will see that you are not you, and your reactions will seem distant. you will undergo the change from being reactional to creating. this is the difference in pusuit, especially acting

@username what do you currenty think everything is?

@Mike Bison if you want to see that everything is consciouness start learning quantum physics. if u want to see what you are and are not consciouss of, start meditating every morning for at least 20 minutes and become a master of letting go. the two will become one and you will know what you are asking about today.

@Shubh_5S just a suggestion, but consider not putting conditions on feeling better too. choose now to align with the notions inside u that have been ignored. feel great that u have decided and feel great for the direction u have chosen. the better it gets, the better it gets. you are already making an enormous difference. meditate and allow all your thinking to go. it was only your thoughts in the first place.

@The White Belt You're proceeding without doing the daily practices and it's a lot of up's and down's. Now you know why people do daily rituals. Do them.

@Shubh_5S if you meditate twice a day, it will slow things down for you and make it much easier to make choices with longer term thinking alignment.

@username resolve your definition of reality and enlightenment down to one grand unified field of superposition experiencing infinity through you. Right now.

@bluesky We do live in an age where you can have either or both, too.

@TBurg82 mental resistance and physical resistance are the same thing. Get in better shape, meditate to let go of your stressful thoughts, eat better, lose wieght. Don't procrastinate further by pretending this is caused by outside forces beyond your control. With love.

@username yes. Once and a while, when I notice I am losing my level of mindfulness, wakefulness....I ask my wife to slap me across the face as hard as she can. It wakes me right the fuck up and we both have a good laugh too. Skip the assholeness and jump to the slapping. Don't know till you try it.

@Annetta mentally, there is no assertion. You experience judgment because you judge. You judge because you hold beliefs that there is something that exists called judgement, when really, the whole concept is merely something in your mind that you are feeding and keeping alive.

@Dharam talk with her about it. You can see truth or lack of in anyone's eyes. Talk through it. Get back on the ame page.
