@Aaron p Haha word, I can resonate with that, thats the spirit! Thats my jam! @Shadowraix I must admit my post contained a fair bit of pain, for that I am sorry, but the core of it was to share something genuine I needed to condemn the law of attraction to be free from it, it is because its grasp on me was too hard so I sort of ripped away, in my post there was not a lot of space to share that if the law of attraction works for you that is wonderful, my system my life my energy is unique and so are yours, what works for one, is not for another But this thread gives everyone a fair warning of the possible downsides of the law of attraction and thats commendable, I believe there is plenty of positive praises about the law of attraction out there, this post allows people to make a more informed decision about what they're getting into, and if they still feel the law of attraction is their way then I wish them the best, it might work in an amazing way for them, beliefs are powerful and intimate, and the beliefs that we use are ways we navigate life Ive had plenty of times where the law of attraction worked for me, but it is simply not for me anymore

Love!

You know what, I tried living life like this, and its a hundred times worse then living life with societal programming It sounds nice, but it really isn't, I can say for certain life was easier and more pleasant before I subscribed to such nonsense, no offense it is nonsense to me, you're free to believe in this, but I'm done with it, if it works for you, all the best Im done chasing carrots

It toke me a long time to figure this one out, a hard time but I'll go ahead and say it most the information about this "throat chakra" out there is wrong, even ancient hindi knowledge is only half-right about this chakra, that is my experience I've felt massive energy eruptions and imbalances in my face, on the level of eyebrows and the mouth when dealing with people, like literal rage in my mouth, and intense sadness in my eyes, muscle spams in my eyebrows. By hindi knowledge the mouth, ears, teeth, throat is 5th chakra and the eyebrows and eyes are part of my 6th chakra, so I thought my 3rd eye was awakening again...shortly said my 3rd eye is by far the most awakened with tons of dmt trips, and finally I caught on that theses is just plain wrong information so I started really looking into the meaning of the 5th chakra. It is said to be chakra of communication, self-expression, creativity through self-expression (music,art..) and related to sound and the sense of hearing. Below is a picture of shiva displaying the 5th chakra. My take on it is as follows. The first chakra represents the earth, the second the sea, the third chakra is the sun, the 4th the heart which is the core of all beings,the air, the breath in the physical body The 6th chakra the 3rd eye, the infinite eye, the infinite I, infinity, while the 7th is universal connection, oneness, source. So in the 7th we have infinite potential, oneness, god, and the 6th we have the eye of knowing, the infinite souls If we were to keep it VERY simple spirits living in the spirit world would be made of the 6th chakra and the 7th chakra.Souls knowing infinity through the 3rd eye, god knowing itself through its souls, through its 3rd eye. This is our spirit, our higher self guiding us, our soul. Come onto the experience in the physical plane, incarnation, we have the first chakra giving us a physical body, bones, muscles,(earth element),.. The second chakra giving us a sea of emotions (the sea) the 3rd chakra giving us physical prowess, confidence, radiance, vitality (the sun) the 4th chakra connected to the air, the air which is everywhere, connecting everything, the breath of the body, the core, it connects our spirit to our physical body, once the breath leaves, the body is disconnected from the air which is our soul, this 4th chakra, the heart is also how our spirit, our soul, our higher self guides us through life (follow your heart, follow your passion, follow your joy, follow truth) Finally the 5th chakra called 'throat chakra' which bridges quite literally the body to the head, the earthly chakra's to the spiritual chakras. The heart chakra does that to an extent through guidance, but this 5th chakra literally relates the earthly experience to the soul I call it the chakra of reflection, it reflects our earthly experience to the soul (6th) and to god (7th). In this display of shiva of the 5th chakra, we can see 5 faces, related to the 5 basic senses. Smell, touch, taste, hearing, seeing Where are all these organs? On our face, nose, ears, tongue, eyes, and SKIN, which spans our entire body. The colour of the 5th chakra is blue, which is the hint, shiva's skin is all blue, meaning that the skin is part of the 5th chakra, the flesh itself, the body is 1st chakra, but when it comes the sense of touch it is 5th chakra, the skin This entire idea that the 5th chakra is the throat only, is already wrong. The notion that the eyes are related to the 6th chakra the 3rd eye, is in a sense wrong, the 3rd eye is the 3rd eye and it sees and knows all that is. To understand why the 5th chakra is the one of reflection, we have to understand the 6th chakra, the 3rd eye overseeing and knowing infinity, the soul. What happens when one meditates, opens his 3rd eye? When one does dmt? All the 5 basic senses collapse, seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting all reveal themselves to be one and the same, knowing, experiencing, those who have meditated, done psychedelics can confirm this. The 5 basic senses are merely a reflection of one true infinite sense, which is the 3rd eye, what it knows it sees, what it sees it experiences, and it oversees everything, all of creation, infinity, it knows everything,experiences all the eye of god You could come up with 7 more senses beyond what we have or even 1898 more senses, it is all a reflection of the one true sense of knowing , these reflection are a way for us to know ourselves The 5th chakra is the chakra of the senses, which are all reflections in order to know ourselves in different ways : the tongue, taste, reflects the 2nd chakra of the sea, the skin, touch, reflects the first chakra, the earth, the nose, smell reflects the 4th chakra, the air the heart. The ears and the eyes are on One line, light/sound, reflecting our true identity, we are light/sound, consciousness, reflecting the 3rd eye and the 7th chakra, our spiritual selves. The eyes also reflect the 3rd chakra the sun, the vitality in our eyes Through our face, one's face you see a reflection of everything he or she is, this is the 5th chakra, the Mirror. It is of course called the chakra of communication for it communicates everything about other beings to you, and you communicate through it, here comes the ego into play Many people identify with this chakra, common unspiritual people have their 3rd eye closed and if you dont know your spiritual self beyond this reality you start identifying as the body, as your face, you identify as your mirror Take away your skin, you dont have a different skin colour anymore, we're all the same underneath, take away your sight, hearing, taste, touch, most people would absolutely cringe at the thought of not living with their 5 senses, they identify with their 5 senses, they identify with their face, thinking their body makes them who they are, when in fact it does not. It reflections who they are, and they are far more. If you take away your 5 senses, you would still have your 3rd eye and your 7th chakra which contains an infinite amount of senses or only one,the paradox, and your soul which is very unique in its essence, your connection to all of creation Your face is unique because it Reflects your uniqueness, the uniqueness of your soul The mirror, the face, the ego, the actor Unbalanced, this chakra creates an unhealthy ego, at worst it creates an actor, a liar, a deceiver, most people suffer enormously from identifying with this chakra and they end up simply Reflecting the environment and society they live in, and identifying with that, suffering from not knowing their true self. I can say with certainty most people reading this have most of their consciousness residing in their face as I see it in the streets of my city. Its important to understand that to balance this chakra, this 5th chakra spans across your entire faces and your entire skin, "the colour of your skin", it is literally the chakra of identification. Funny enough, skin colour merely Reflects the environment you're from, its temperature and conditions. The 3rd eye is NOT the upper part of the face, it is a pea-sized area between your eyebrows,nothing more, the rest of it is all 5th chakra, see the picture for clarification, the 5th chakra is the entire face, your entire self-expression Imagine Leo Gura, take away his skin, his eyes, his ears, his nose, his tongue....can you now tell if that body is leo gura? Do the same with yourself, take away your skin, your eyes, your nose, your ears... can you tell yourself from others in similar condition? If your 3rd eye is activated you would be able to tell and see leo's soul and your soul and knowing the souls of other people. Balancing this chakra is dissolving the ego, you are not a human being(actor), you are the soul Unbalanced this chakra becomes deceitful, egoic, lying, deceiving, pretending... of course the ability to act can be used for good, like actors in the movies who can use this chakra to reflect new people, new realities, new consciousness. Used badly we can think of bad politicians who act one way in public but have intentions under the table, liars, thieves, abusive sociopath......The difference between a snake or a crocodile that wants to kill you and a sociopath, is that the snake and the crocodile are honest, their 5th chakra is balanced, when you look at the expressions of a snake or a crocodile you will see how much love they have for you if you get closer. You know what you're dealing with. A sociopath or a lying politician wants to hurt you but will display a friendly deceiving face, they are mirroring something they are not. Which is why even though most snakes or reptiles want to kill us we do not take it personally, its just life, no one carries a grudge against these animals, they're just being who they are A balanced reflecting chakra for us, is to always show our true emotions, who we truly are, the chakra of truth, communicating the truth, not hiding anything, because you're not supposed to. An individual that has developed this chakra healthily can display his or her emotions with comfort to others, a fully balanced one, would be a face that is exactly like a mirror, like the reflection in our eyes, a face that fully expresses who that person is. This chakra can only be balanced if one's 3rd eye and 7th chakra is open, only when you know who you truly are beyond your face in the mirror, can you reflect the truth to others and to yourself. Overcoming the face in the mirror, overcoming the ego, to finally let the kundalini rise to the 3rd eye and beyond andenlighten as an infinite being Beyond the mirror, real life is, when we're done acting for each other,we can get to know our true selves and the true selves of others, when we're done identifying with the mirror, we can allow our true selves to flow through it,our spirit our soul will flow through the mirror the bridge, onto the world

There is a big information share amongst various channeled entities through various people that a reptilian alien race has nestled on our planet and has messed with our dna, hence the illuminati conspiracy and reptiles conspiracies They messed with our dna strands to redirect energy for their own use, and they basically fucked life up on earth big time, and many souls didnt sign up for this , life was not supposed to be this way BUT finally as earth is enlightening these reptilians are being shifted out of our dimensions and the damage is being repaired literally

Im gonna go and share my personal opinion, but is only that and I do not seek to prove anyone wrong To me counter-intuitiveness, seems like the final hurdle, the final wrench to remove You get close to untangling life, but life will never be untangled, counter-intuitiveness seems like a highly advanced attempt to finally control life, to get how it works, and what to do to make the life machine work right It seems to me like the final step before ultimate surrendering, you understand how tricky and full of paradoxes life is and one would use that to finally get what you want, that is my perspective on it Half of everyone is feminine energy, and as the legend goes, you will never understand what a woman wants That mystery, that surprise, that absolute uncontrollable aspect, is half our essence, it is absolutely and infinitely random, true randomness That is my humble view on it

Lately I was pondering how narcissism is related to infinite love In a sense that if I consider myself to be godly and divine and perfect, but what I identify as is not one mind in one physical body but Inidentify as all of reality What if narcissists have it right in some degree with their self-love, but they fail to recognize their self extends to everything If I am godlike and divine, so is every part of life, every person, every object, every moment, every plant, every animal, every sound that makes up the reality that I am, everyone is godlike and divine and perfect So I can truly see the divine in another human being in the degree that I allow myself to see the divine in me, the trick to not become an egotic narcissist is to know that everyone mirrors you and you mirror everyone, there is no conflict Perhap narcissistic energy has to be embraced in a positive way, and this is it

Although my experiences get more intense I see less and less energy being alocated to being able to explain them to others, to the point of that being blocked most of the time I feel one of the lessons that is finally coming full circle is that for enlightenment and higher knowledge you have to be able to keep a secret Some things are too high and mindshattering to be shared, whenever one tries to teach others it is through a transference of vibration It would be exactly like making someone overdose on shrooms or lsd, through your vibration, what you share with others has to be appropriate to their level, and certain topics can only be discussed with people who are as "in" as you I feel the term "burning" really describes it, there's a risk of burning others with too much light, there has to be a careful balance

Well that is my perspective but I do not want to go out of my way to spoil your perspective of him, since you seem to see him a very positive light, which is wonderful I just warn that when you respect someone because of strength or power, eg never being sick, having a healthy body.. Instead of respecting someone because of their love/wisdom, it can be a dangerous path Say a being on this planet figures out immortality with his body, does that mean he is the defacto enlightened teacher and that he should be followed? Its only an example though, @TheAvatarState has informed me about more about wim, that wim is a man with a good character, from what I heard

Okay, then I may have jumped the gun, I will remain open-minded to this being called wim hof, the ice man

Beliefs that he's emitting: Being sick is bad When your body gets sick it means you're weak and not strong enough Its common knowledge that your body can get you sick on purpose sometimes to help you extinguish emotions or take other creative paths, take different guidance What are you going to do, start racing your whole life to never get sick and feel bad when you do? He definitely has achieved a certain connection with his breathing and his body, but strength is worthless without wisdom, strength and power is never a goal, it is never an achievement He definitely has some things to share about breathing, I give credit where its due, but he's not very conscious of the negative power beliefs he's spreading To aim to never be sick is not an achievement,its power chase to aim to understand why you get sick, the underlying emotions and beliefs, and work with the body to resolve those and as a result experience natural health and harmony on all levels, spiritual, mental, physical, thats the goal

For a narcissist that isn't conscious of spirituality in his perspective his finite self is his absolute self, because he does not believe or perceive anything beyond that From the outside, from the perspective of conscious beings like us, it looks self-centered, but from inside the narcisstic point of view, if you do not believe that anyone matters beyond yourself, you are in a sense all that you know, and all that you know is you For one to be self-centered, you have to in some degree believe that others matter in order to view a separation from others and then consciously put yourself above others Which is why I find the narcisstic state of being very interesting If I were to infinitely love all that I am and I identify as the only being that matters, and others as props, then I am a narcissist If I were to infinitely love all that I am and I identify as all beings and I deem that all beings matter, then I am closer to the absolute self Its very related, the difference is there but is very related, I am doing the exact same thing as a narcissist, loving all that I am A narcissist only becomes a narcissist when his or her infinite love is misidentified I find narcissism very interesting, they might be horrible persons to be around with in reality and have a huge ego BUT they do love themselves, and love is always good, that is their one big positive quality, that I am interested in

What happens is always true So if you are shy it is true that you are shy If you experience your shyness negatively, that is also true If you desire to be confident, that is the truth The truth of being shy and the truth of desiring to be confident seem contradictory but they are not Let the energies flow in each of their creative directions Keep being conscious of all these different truth, as you are conscious of them, they are supported and they grow, they live and they evolve, each stream of truth will keep flowing and expanding, sometimes joining together, sometimes going even further from each other, but gradually the different streams will reveal themselves to be flowing in one harmonious river

In my personal perspective I see a narcissist as an archetype A certain energy and behaviour, some people literally embody that archetype and are called narcissists but we all have that archetype in a smaller size in us For me its an archetype that shows the shadow side of self-love, self-love with belief of separation, which leads to huge ego But from each archetype we can learn positive things, I believe so

Im gonna disagree Again, it seems you fail to see there is a phase, a stage between enlightenment like jezus or buddha and the normal average egoic person The eckhart tolle enlightenment is bullshit, eckhart tolle is not a fully enlightened being, and I think his story is very confusing for many people actually, there is no such thing as an instant enlightenement, its not an on and off switch Enlightenemt is a path, a process, a blooming, a growing Leo is not buddha enlightened but he is enlightened for sure, if half this planet was on the consciousness level as leo we would live in a different world, You want to see either black or white, because that is easy and simple, but you have to the conscious and see that black can coexist with white, you have to be able to see both the light and the darkness in a being in their right proportions, and many enlightened teachers have a bright light but they still carry dark heavy shadows

I guess I am since I identify with all energy, and narcisstic energy being one of the many Where does infinite love begin and narcissism end?, I can see no distinction, if anything I think the bad stigma with narcissism rightly so is the horrible result of having infinite love for the self and making a separation between self and others, but once the barrier between self and others is dissipated that narcissism is no different then divine love for all that is

Once the illusion dispels suffering is faced in its final form A suffering that has no root in reality, a spiritual suffering, a resolving of all karma, a seeming depression, a pressure that seeps through everything, unloading its weight on your reality This is a heavy process, but only when one can see that suffering does not have its root in this reality, can he face it, and can she realize that bliss and happiness will not have its roots in this reality either, it will not be dependent of everything, meaning that you will be envelopped in bliss and happiness no matter where you go or are, no matter what happens Suffer no matter what happens, to ascend to being happy no matter what happens

@Mikael89 You are absolutely right, his course prices are insanely high, it is absolutely greedy and non spiritual But most of his teachings are free on youtube, he has hours and hours of core content for free, I never payed a single dime for this stuff but this man taught me a lot He's not my guru, he's an enlightened teacher, nothing more, nothing less Enlightened teachers still have egoic tendencies, that doesnt discredit what they teach There's a phase between jezus and buddha and the normal egoic common human being Same with leo, he's an enlightened teacher, and he still has his own areas to improve If you dont vibe with a teacher thats ok, I for one cannot stand teal swan too much and some other guys too, I see tons of enlightened teachers with glaring areas that need to be worked on, its ok, its not an on and off switch its a process I still respect teal swan and others for what they do and where they are Even more you have to consider that an enlightened teacher with a special set of egoic tendencies is perhaps even MORE easier relatable for a certain kind of people who are so deep into their ego they cannot accept or comprehend enlightened teachers who are too pure, the glaring flaws in the teacher here, actually help common people to bridge the gap between ego and spirituality, and help make the teacher feel relatable to his students This infinite intelligence at work, there is a kind of teacher for everyone, its so complicated and complex Rich people also need spiritual teachers and maybe rich people feel if you dont fork out a thousand bucks for a course then the course is not genuine, so spiritual teachers like bentinho that charge way too much can actually be beneficial to these people to accept and get closer to spirituality Rich people see the world upside down, whereas normal people are afraid to spend too ,ich, rich people are afraid to not spend enough, theyre afraid that if something is cheap it must not be good quality, its the "safety" bubble of luxury

This article is completely biased and you will not find any relevant testimonies to uphold that claim It was made by an egoistical reporter that loved taking down spirituality, the easy way, claiming that the guru is some cult leader Vague claims and accusations , some scary halloween pictures of bentinho One fact, a student of his commited suicide,..,how many students do modern gurus have.? Hundreds, a suicide is a tragedy but people commit suicide from all walks of life, its absolutely ridiculous to demonize a guru for the suicide of one of his students He fled america? He left for personal bizz and he came back after that, like wtf so sensationalist You know this article is bullshit, if you read it, you can not tell one single concrete point after it that makes you go "oh this bentinho guy is horrible", you can recall one clear vivid point that upholds the claim, Its just brewing a vague and accusing vibe, histy misty scaredy tones, its bogus, absolute bogus If one single reporter, one single article is all it takes for you to discredit a spiritual guru maybe you're not as spiritual as you think you are, the ego and the media go hand in hand for destroying spirituality credibility, if thats all it takes be ready to wash down all your spiritual beliefs down the toilet real fast And make no mistake, ego dominated industries like the media are out to discredit spiritual practices

These changes are very possible and perhaps you are finally noticing how consciousness forms physical reality I have been with people that in my presence I saw their face and eyes change from closed and material focused to open and heart-focused If buddha did it to the worst criminals so can we

If you know your mind is deceiving you, Is it not teaching you about all the ways into which you can be deceived?

A big step to being conscious about your thoughts, is realizing their importance Your conscious is like a ray of love and evolution, where you put your attention, what thoughts you think, change the entire world This mass-reality, a shared dream of consciousness, is upheld by all of us, we are consciousness we are upholding this reality Your thoughts, Say you're thinking about someone, you are giving that person a lot of love, helping that person ascend, helping that person energy You're singing a song in your head, an already existing one or one you just made up, this "song creativity" is uploaded into the subconscious 'library', every single thought is affecting reality, and this "song creativity" will be accessed by and used by music artists of the world who will bring this creativity into physical reality Thats the thing with 'genuises' think about tesla, einstein, elon musk, mozart, leonardo davinci and whatnot...you'd think these guys are running their own shows being genuises, they are genuises in a way but in another way they expressed the thoughts and creativity of millions of humans who had creative ideas of math and music and engineering but who were living lifes that could not find outlets to this expression Just like ants, we all have roles, and some ants have different roles, but imagine we are a psychic ant colony that can share thoughts and creativity, we let specific creativity flow to those "ants" that are best suited to express them, so called "genuises" We all have so many different streams of ideas and creativity inside ourselves, we all have come to face we cannot express all these streams to their full expression in a single life, and most of us our glad if we can fully express one passion in our life If you can be conscious that your random ideas of camping or cooking or surfing or music or whatever has nothing to do with your current life,those ideas that have nothing to do with where you're heading, if you can be conscious that some bloke on the other side of the planet will make use of your creativity you will feel the importance of letting your positive thoughts flow Same with facebook likes, it might seem that when a disaster occurs, a facebook post with facebook likes about the event seems silly and useless, it is not, every single moment of your attention is like the sun shining on a flower, it blooms something You can be in your room, and having ideas about improving the infrastructure of hong kong and that will literally help the city of hong kong, how that city will make use of your consciousness is very subtle and complex, but that is the truth, the dream is made of consciousness, and your attention is worth just as much as investors with money cases for that city, in fact far more When you truly know this to be true, that your consciousness builds this world up, this common dream, it will be so much more easier, and absolutely meaningful to turn your thoughts to a positive stream

You sing, but you can never hear yourself sing If you record your singing, you end up listening to a recording of your singing You look in the mirror, you will never see your face, you try to see your face, you will never see it Dance, you may record how you dance, you will never see yourself dancing You may be a friend to someone, you will never know what is it like to have yourself as a friend You walk, you will never see what its like to see you walking, what your walk looks like If every single person on this planet has ego problems, is it not obvious that the greatest pleasure of them all is to know yourself? The forbidden fruit The sun shining its warmth on all stars, on all animals, plants.... the sun may never experience whats its like to feel its own rays embracing it, that is the gift of the sun Why do we rate friendship? "Oh that guy is a good friend, that guy is a bad friend...." For reference so that we may know what our own friendship is like "if that guy is so and so I must be...." "If that guy is tall, I am short, if that guy is silent, I am loud" We rate the sexual performances of others! "Oh he or she was good in bed!" So that we may get closer to tasting our own sexual performance! "He walks weirdly, he dances funnily" " I walk normal, I dance in a boring way" Trying to grasp yourself, trying to taste yourself, trying to know who you are....because we are not human bodies walking around on a rock, shitting, eating and fucking,..we are more. This insane pleasure of wanting to know yourself.....thats the ego The gift of being who you are, sharing the amazingness of who you are with everyone else, while not knowing any of this pleasure for yourself, it is all for others, given to others, shining like the sun, thats love, thats connection. What you receive is the light that you shine on all life, on all the other stars, helping life grow, helping stars shine brighter, you get to be illuminated by everyone else

On a tribal planet, where tribes often go around to conquer other tribes... There was a city. A peaceful city. Its inhabitants, aware of the world which they lived in, decided to not build any walls around their city. They wanted their city to be open, they wanted their city to be welcoming, first and foremost and regardless of what was out there. The city shined, it prepared for the best One day a warring tribe attacked this city... ransacked it, pulverized it, consumed it, brought it down, destroyed the city. All the inhabitants died, the city was utterly defenseless to this attack. The violent, warring tribe conquered the city and toke pleasure in consuming it. One may ask, what was the point? What was the point of not building walls if things end this way? If everyone ended up dying? What did this city achieve? The city was wiped out, no trace of its peaceful culture left...except for now, through those who are hearing about it. Through the readers witnessing this story, the city lives again. So you can find for yourself in your heart, in your feelings, in how this city makes you feel, what the point was. How does the peaceful city without walls make you feel? How does the warring tribe that conquered the city and gained pleasure make you feel?

That's the thing about truth, you are always being true to who you are right now. You are always expressing something which is truthful. You are always in truth. Everything is already truth, so truth becomes, what kind of truth do you want to experience? Which means that this kind of truth is very intimate to you, it is a part of you, it is a part of your heart. And to know what kind of truth you desire to experience, is to know what you desire, to know who you are. Truth reveals itself to be very linked, intertwined with your own identity. If you know who you are, you know the higher truth. And who you are, is who you want to be. You can imagine yourself to be anything you want, infinity comes into the picture of truth, and so on
