I will describe my personal feeling of oneness for the purpose of expanding imagination! to me it feels like relating to the energy that moves people and things, when people walk,when do an action I feel related to the energy involved, it's like my own energy is right behind them. it's like a connection deeper then the conscious mind, I don't relate to their conscious actions, I don't feel they are mine, individuality is recognized, but the energy used to do, it feels like I recognize that energy. it's a feeling like ; ''wait, that person is moving out of their own free will, but it still feels like I'm moving them'' it's really in terms of the raw energy that moves the body, the organism, when people walk I feel like I'm behind their back pushing them, when they look out to something it feels like I'm looking out to something. its really a raw organic connection, separated from our identities on the level of the conscious mind another thing is familiarity, no place looks ''strange''. everything feels familiar, yet new. its been awhile since Ive seen a ''stranger''. everyone is starting to look so familiar, so welcoming, as if everyone I see is my cousin,and I suspect the next level is that I'll perceive everyone as I see as intimately as a brother or sister,but I'm certainly not there yet. the strangers on the streets that I used to see like one year ago, they're gone, they're nowhere to be seen, there's not a single stranger like that anymore, when they used to feel so distant and dangerous, and separated from me...not in my reality anymore I used to be scared of spiders and disgusted by flies. no more really, spiders are recognized in their dimensional beauty and flies are like black specks of love flying around. keep an open mind!

do you go around murdering people, abusing them physically or mentally like a sociopath? No? if you don't do that then you gave this world plenty already. freedom for others to be themselves, kindness towards others. you don't owe anything more then that,you can just be yourself this stuff is simple, the more we realize what we we're not, the more we realize what we don't know, can we appreciate what we are and what we know

keep up the meditation practice every day,no matter how short, it's literally training to stay conscious during such moments

yes, as you love discussing abstract concepts a process that helped me was to and even now to some extent always challenging my own thoughts. investigate everyone one of your mind's ''insights'' , your mind's ''claims'', your minds ''conclusion'', simply try to everytime prove them wrong. this pretty much makes you always conscious of your and over time will lead you to big realizations about your mind and consciousness. it is not be a seen as an hostile campaign against your own mind, it is simply always playing the devil's advocate, so that you can adopt several points of view in your mind and always be in touch with the truth. it is a very open-minded and neutral approach to be able to constantly consider the viewpoints opposite to the ones you hold and balancing between the two. so it would go like this : you pick a flower and think to yourself : ''oh what a nice flower!'' counter thinking : ''is it really a nice flower? is it only a nice flower because I rarely see a flower and thus I find this one exotic? is it only a nice flower because I don't know much about flowers?'' you think : ''oh I'm intelligent!'' counterthinking: ''am I really intelligent?haven't their been people more intelligent then me, scientists, artists? by what standards am I assuming my intelligence? who's setting those standards? you think : ''what a bad day today....'' counterthinking: ''is it really a bad day today? aren't there people having proportionally worse days that make this one good? some people have days where they die, how does that make your day look? haven't I had worse days in the past? is it only a bad day because I think it is a bad day? ''I'm nice''... ''am I really nice? there was that one time where...'' ''I'm enlightened!'' ''am I really enlightened? argument, argument...'' it's best to apply this at big decisions or insights instead of every little thing at first. it is one of my major exercises in abandoning thinking and disidentifying with it as I could constantly prove my own thoughts wrong , it is very frustrating at first. it automatically puts you into the position of being conscious of every single thought you have because you will judge and evaluate every single thought instead of letting them flow freely -
the ego makes socializing feel very empty. imagine a dog wearing sunglasses, how awesome is that? imagine a dog getting drunk and telling weird stories? how fun would that be! imagine a dog small chatting to you, talking about the weather, talking about the latest pop song?how awesome is that! I've noticed as I grew spirituality that I can see people as they are, they're amazing intelligent animals. everyone is incredibly interesting why are bus drivers cool? imagine a gorilla driving a bus, how awesome would that be? its the same, humans are animals, and everything they do is incredibly amazing. we are literally animals going on about wearing clothes, driving machinery, singing songs, we're so so so intelligent. just the fact that you can communicate with someone is amazing, how amazing would it be if you could talk with your cat? thats how I feel when I talk to someone sometimes ''wow this creature understands me and I can talk to this creature, its mindblowing''' before it was : ''oh this individual is averagely intelligent and not very interesting,how boring'' when the ego drops, you can see the world as it really is, amazingly interesting no one was a fool,I was the fool, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is intelligence the ego makes everything uninteresting because it survives on standing above others, it is necessary for its survival to downplay the amazing side of other people. the less ego you have the more you can appreciate people. and I can say that people are infinitely amazing

do you really feel nothing if someone gets punched in front of you? ever saw a video of a skater landing on his nuts on a rail or something?these are the types of things that get people feeling the people themselves as onlookers. you also have to keep into account that your senses are dulled and you have a belief system that your conscious is related to your body. and what you believe becomes reality. which is why certain people can be ''insensitive'' to others and some are very ''sensitive'' and there's a whole gradient between these. if you stop believing in this, you will slowly have experiences that will show to you how your consciousness is everywhere. usually after a decent time of upholding a meditation practice you can see the aura of consciousness. it is something that I see all the time now personally. it is sort of like a small flickering, it is not colored,its impossible to describe nearly,but once you see it you know its consciousness, but it shows how things are clearly being made right now,nothing is solid. a table isn't just made out of wood into a form just to keep its solid form. every second the table is made again and again and again and again and you're the one doing this. everything happens now -
Where there's a will there's a way. This is basically what you can boil spirituality down to. I remember reading somewhere that your higher self sets up the challenges in your life so that it always seem like you have no idea what to do. Like the challenge is just out of your means, basically like it feels like you can't quite picture how exactly you will tackle the challenge. you can't dissect it. This is done purposefully as to make you exercise your consciousness. It is different from making a plan and trying to realize that plan in life. Sometimes the things you want or encounter are so big you don't even know how it's possible to attain or overcome them? Yet this is a perfect setup to make you exercise your willpower, which is a main function of consciousness. If you don't know how to get where you want to go, maybe you want to become a famous singer, maybe you want to travel the world,maybe you want to meet the love of your life, but you just don't know how, you don't see the entire picture, so all you have is your will. You keep going, trying to achieve what you want, driven by your willpower. the lesson is that just by your willpower things will fall into place naturally. you're not supposed to know how exactly things will fall into place and when, but by the power of your will events and probabilities will order themselves to manifest what you want. your challenges are always set-up in a way that you have to will your way through them. they're not setup in a way that you can go : ''oh I have to do this, then that, and like this, then I will get what I want''. Where I'm trying to go is that if you feel like you don't see the full picture, like you don't see how you're going to get where you want to go. this is very normal, it's part of the process in trying to make you exercise your willpower. just by believing in yourself, by going on, even though you don't know how things will fall into place, you are practicing quite literally the manifesting ability of consciousness. and the more you do it, the more you will see results. it's not only normal, it is how I believe every challenge to be set-up. so if you feel like you're falling short, don't be afraid,it is a very normal feeling. most importantly don't let it discourage you because you're supposed to feel this way, lost, almost ignorant. one can put it this way, you don't work within reality trying to plan things from within working with the tools and means you're aware of, you work from outside of reality, changing probabilities of events, with processes and means that you're currently not aware of. not at this level at least, on the level of your higher self you're perfectly aware of many probabilities and you can freely navigate them, to practice your willpower is to tune in with that power

nothingness or letting-go-ness, these are just labels, don't let them confuse you, what you can expect in spirituality is always more vitality, more energy and more happiness. that's what this comes down to. spirituality is not something outside of ourselves, it is a part of us; it is natural to us. labels can make things confusing but the feeling of ''nothingness'' is native to you, when you're trying to imagine how something feels always imagine it feeling good and joyful. if you feel like letting go will let you lose control realize that's an ego trick. spirituality will always empower you, so imagine that letting go will make you feel even more in control, if you like to feel in control , letting go will give you that feeling of control in a way you never felt before. it is fear to trust that makes you feel like you will be weaker, fear of the uncomfortable, there's always a tuning period when you try to let go and trust where you're sorta uncomfortable and seemingly at the mercy of things,but it's a normal transition, you always end up more powerful then before. never believe in a weak spirituality, spirituality is here to please you, to make you comfortable and more joyful. how powerful is it to let go and still rock at living life? realize that perhaps you're afraid of your own power. I've had times when I felt scared of how the world felt,I felt scared of others, till I realized I was afraid of my own power, my senses were so intensified that I almost didn't recognize them, and almost felt like I was living in an hostile world. when I realized this was my own power, that I was afraid of my own intensity, all the power came back to me and I felt at peace with my surroundings -

I'd like to make this topic about multi-dimensionality. What is behind that feeling of true acceptance? If you walk on the street and you a homeless person, many feelings may rise up inside see. Most people I witness in such a case, stray away from the homeless person in an almost scared fashion, they try not to make eyecontact with the homeless person. I used to do the same somewhat in the past,now though as I consciously practice acceptance there's no fear when I pass by. Through this process of acceptance though I found out that we pass by someone homeless we get scared, homeless people remind us of the reality that people do end up living on the streets, that is the reality of our society. People are mirrors for us, they reflect us. You can't help but feel worried in some way if you see a homeless because you're scared it might happen to you. unless you can consciously come to peace with the fact that there are people who end up living on the streets, almost rejected by situation. This process of acceptance is very interesting, to be ok with someone being homeless is like being ok with you yourself being homeless. It's like its impossible to separate yourself from what you try to accept. If you accept something happening to someone else it's like you accept it happening for you. If you reject being homeless you will endlessly feel conflicting feelings when you see a homeless person. This is why I try to talk about multi-dimensionality. Our inner psyche works in immensely expanded ways and we get much more out of the physical illusion then we think so. If I want to be at peace, I have to be at peace with being homeless, because I know for a fact there are countless homeless people. Even though I've never been homeless in my life, I have to be ok with being homeless, I struggle with feelings of being homeless. Because we are all connected. this is multi-dimensional You can be as rich as you want,but if you don't accept being homeless, you will always be worried about losing your money No one is just ''rich'' or ''poor''. you can't be at peace as a poor person if it bothers you that there are people richer then you. in this case a poor person has to accept others being rich, a poor person has to accept being rich and having a lot of money even though he does not have that money if he wants to be at peace with his poor life. in this case its reversed. acceptance and peace is linked to multi-dimensional facets of your physical life,you have to be able to accept things that are happening beyond your private physical life, we are truly mirrors in that regards, each person's issues is your own, this is very expanding consciousness work. I can't be at peace when I walk on the street and see someone in a wheel-chair disabled, if I don't accept seeing the life of a disabled person as a valid life with its own richness. In that sense when I see someone disabled I feel disabled and I have to accept being disabled even though I'm perfectly healthy. many times I've had worries about my apartment catching fire. It was one of my fear. As I'd leave home, this fear would hit me: ''did I forget something important? is some electric appliance misplaced in a way that could cause a fire?I should go back and check'' many times I turned back to check inside my home if everything was ok. to get over this fear at some point I just had to say : ''well if there's a fire, so be it, let it burn,I'm leaving'' My apartment never toke fire, still in my inner planes, I had to experience my apartment burning down in order to be at peace. this work of enlightenment will lead us to places beyond our direct physical reality. in a psychic sense we work within multiple dimensions and probabilities. I also started making more progress in my enlightenment when I accepted the possibility of not making more progress, the possibility of failing. how paradoxal is that? I always had trouble figuring this out but it makes sense if we view ourselves as multi-dimensional beings. I have in my inner psyche, multiple realities, ones where I fail at progressing spirituality, ones where my apartment burns down and I'm homeless, ones where I was born disabled, realities that have nothing to do with my direct physical reality but they're a part of me and I personally guess it's needed to be able to progress spiritually to contain several realities within yourself. I really think the concept of multi-dimensionality is key in spiritual work. we all have many lives, that we lived before, and that we will live, beyond this current one. at the level of spiritual identity we are conscious of all these lives at once. our spirit is multi-dimensional, to practice this is to connect more with who we are

keep in mind that suffering that you seek out and discipline through is not the same suffering. it is a different form of suffering. suffering that you expect is much easier to handle suffering that comes out of nowhere when you're trying your hardest to go after what you want and make your life better, now that is intense, I would almost call this the ''real'' suffering but take this lightly. it is very tricky, but to seek suffering can be a way to run from suffering. if you can expect it hurts a lot less.this is not the case always of course disciplining can be of benefit spiritually, I have gone through such periods as well.

I'd like to discuss personal responsibility. We often get flustered by events and people in our lives. I'd like to put forth a perspective that allows one to take more responsibility for the way we react to these events in our, and by consequence get more power. The more responsible you feel over your life, the more powerful you are. psychic power is gained by grounded awareness I'll take the example of walking on the streets and crossing eyes with a stranger. I used to be a very anxious person, I'd feel a lot of fear looking at people, I was afraid of people. Now that I progressed spiritually, my fear of strangers starts to disappear more and more, and I know within myself that I see them in an entirely different way, but what I now I encounter is fear not coming from me, but from others. So even though I fear people less, I still have fearful eyecontact on the street. Because people also have their own fears of others of course, and sometimes I can feel they fear me personally because I stand out more now. I have seen the evolution of my fear of people and sometimes I do have very natural and peaceful eyecontact with others on the streets. Where I want to get is that people's fears are my own. If someone looks at me with fear then I feel that fear, but I am responsible for resonating with that fear. I would have never been able to have these moments of peaceful eyecontact had I not gotten past my own fear of people. So I am still responsible for the fearful eyecontact that I experience now, even though I know that I've advanced so far and that it is initially the stranger that I see on the streets that actually fears me, I am responsible because I get afraid of their fear, and thus I resonate with it. In the event of fearful eyecontact both parties are at fault, the one that is fearing the other, and the one that is fearing the others fear. If am able to accept in my heart people's fear of me there will be no fearful eyecontact anymore and that is what makes a strong connection, to be able to go past your own fears but the fears of others as well. What I wanted to show is that you are always responsible for your negative emotions no matter what happens or where the source comes from. It is always a part of you resonating with something. Imagine a situation that frustrated you in the past. Something that made you angry or sad or disappointed... Next, imagine an enlightened version of yourself, what if you were super enlightened and you had attained high levels of peace and acceptance. How would you have reacted to this event. Could it be possible to have interpreted these events in a very peaceful way?or to simply not have cared? I know we're all able to imagine higher and purer versions of ourselves. Taking into account that the enlightened version of yourself that you imagine is very much real and possible to attain. Aren't you the one that is responsible for the negative emotions that you feel after a frustrating event? If you're able to imagine a level of yourself where these seemingly negative events don't affect you and provoke bad feelings inside you, then who's responsible for the bad feelings inside you? Not the event or the people Circumstances are always empty. It's easy to realize if you look back on your spiritual progress and look for things that used to frustrate you but now not anymore. One can realize : ''Wait a minute, if that specific event or process doesn't frustrate me anymore? then what was the real source of my frustration?'' What was the source of frustration, if not in the event or the people involved? it is truly a question that will help one advance spiritually

today I was getting money to pay the rent at a nearby bank, on my way out I somehow lost my wallet, looking back I know how I did it. Thing is my wallet was full with my rent, bank cards, identity cards, about 15 minutes later I realized what happened and started tracing my way back. I look at the bank, I looked in nearby trashcans if someone threw it in there, I couldn't find it. I was confused but still willing to trust where my life was guiding me. I the past I always used to be very careful with money, especially something like rent, I'd pay a lot of attention to a sensible situation like this but since living in the present moment it was my duty to let go of worries and trust the flow of things. I lost my wallet in the flow of things, I wasn't distracted, I was consciously going with the flow yet this still happened. I look at the police station to see if someone might've given it off there for me and I was lucky to find someone did. With not even a single paper of money missing.I would've been really glad just to have my cards but the money was also there. The relief is not describable. the money or the cards really don't matter,but I'm personally having a tough time lately which would've made this happening to me very straining. That one person that had the kindness to bring the wallet back, I don't know who that person is, their act of kindness rings for an eternity in my being. it personally inspires me to do better and be more kind to others!

you are open-minded if you are aware that your ideas contradict without your own identity being involved. if your identity is involved in an idea, the other idea will seem like danger to you, and you'll want to cast it away. If your identity is not involved, the other idea simply seems like the way someone else views the world, and even more, the other idea is not cast away, you still accept this idea as a possibility or a resource in the future. better said is like this : ''hmm, I don't agree with this but I understand this is the viewpoint of someone else with their own valid reasons to view it this way.And maybe someday I will actually agree with this idea or I will use it in my own personal way so I'm not judging it.'' the bad way is : ''hm, I don't agree with this, this idea is bad, and I completely reject it!I'm right'' everything is relative...if you imagine leo's spirit in a hundred years most of his current ideas will make sense to him or they will be obsolete as he will have evolved so much. the ideas are good for now, one must be always be ready to accept new ideas and beliefs.

nofap is extremely good for spirituality, I don't know why but it's like a cheatcode, if you don't fap and on top of that there are times when you're going without much sex it's like your energy just starts boiling inside. I call it a cheatcode because I have gone through very intense energy awakenings during such periods. just by not fapping. now the no-porn version is still a very valuable challenge. especially if you're trying to come off an addiction. no-porn is still very good because you'll start getting in touch more with your imagination. instead of using videos, you get in touch with your imagination in a very passionate way. to use your imagination in joyful ways is very good for spirituality. it's also very good in the sense that you can't get addicted to masturbating without porn. imagination takes a lot of energy, so you'll naturally follow your own pace of excitement. to open up a porn video takes no energy, and you can look around till you get excited. this doesn't work with imagination, if you're not excited, you're not going to look to make yourself excited with imagination as one can't just freely snoop around his imagination. imagination takes focus and energy so fapping with imagination is a very good spiritual practice as well. no-fap is the best in my opinion, but that is from my point of view, the best practice is always the one that feels right to you in this moment

it's an illusion but it's also reality nothing happens but everything happens. I am you, but I am not you paradoxes are fully part of reality, can we manage to, with our third eye, be aware of and see 2 or more different contradictory truths at the same time? and understand that they're not divided by their contradiction, but that they are in harmony within each other, for the universe is able to hold different realities at the same time, and these realities interact with each other -
it is a tragedy for everyone involved isn't it, for the laugh at another is to laugh at yourself. but at the same time it's grounds for an amazing lesson. I'm truly amazed in your honesty, that in itself shows you've already learned so much from this. I want to expand on that laughing to oneself thing because I've found out personally that it never really stops, you think you've learned so much with spirituality, then you learn amazing stuff again, and then you understand even bigger things, and each time your mind and perspective get expanded beyond your imagination... There is no limit, this is contact with infinite intelligent energy and expansion, as such is the nature of the universe. I say this only as an example, but let's say in 3 months you will have learned so much stuff and you'll look back at yourself now and think ''I was ignorant, I was a fool compared to now.'' Then 6 months later, you feel this way again, this time towards the person you were 3 months later, ''wow and I thought I knew stuff, I was so ignorant'' then 9 months later you're so advanced you're again tempted to go back and ridicule the person you were. What I'm trying to say is that it never ends, if you judge someone's lower consciousness you will forever be judging your own lower consciousness as you evolve. There's infinity to evolve, there is no place of perfection, as such you can forever be busy with judging others and yourself included or you can let go. the ego is addicted to standing above others, it is a very powerful process, if we can respect the power of the ego, we can start to understand it, and not identify with it, we can start to dissipate it. now that I've stopped judging others,I've stopped judging myself, at least to a whole other degree. I can feel that you're very conscious of your actions, as such, you'll do great, this was a nice exchange
-
I'd say it's about being really conscious about your intentions and what goes on inside when you're reaching out to others. Did you feel you were genuinely trying to help him or did you feel like you were more involved with your ego when you were talking to him? I certainly do not judge, it's from our mistakes that we learn, and maybe you were trying to really help him, and in that case you did amazing
-
there's only one thing that matters for me. where you reaching out for him out of a place of love or a place of ego and fear? that is the only deciding factor that should govern your behavior. If it's out of genuine love you can go around and scream and try to enlighten every single person you see and care about, if it's out of love then you are aligned with your higher self, and aligned with the universe itself and amazing things will unfold from that. if you tried to help him because you saw him last night and you were judging him and pitying him and you felt so much 'advanced' because you didn't drink and smoke nothing, so you felt like putting him straight then you will bring about a negative vibration of fear and ego. it's up to you to recognize when you're acting out of love and out of fear. I'd like to put my 2 cents, that change happens by love, you can't change someone by making them despise who they are right now. you tried to make him change by making him feel bad about his life right now, about the person that he is right now. there are other ways you can make people change, you could try to engage with him into a hobby, you could try to support him in his most dearest dreams and passions, try to get him more involved with his own personal passions. If you do that he will be more motivated about life and you'll see that from his own he will make decisions that are more healthy in regards to his life. don't try to help people with 'reasons' and 'logic', help them by making them feel good, the logic of the heart is the logic of the universe if you want no war, be about peace. if you don't want your friends to be about unhealthy stuff, be about healthy stuff yourself, shine the example without judgement

is it really a fight if you expect it? a real hero's fight is not a game, it is not a fight either, when suddenly everything is on the line, when there is real danger to the things you love then you have to defend it, it's less about fighting then it is about caring about the things you value. fights can come into various forms. I think I have an idea what you feel though, you want to give it your all, you want be alive. that is possible even with daily life, and I'd say the the toughest fights don't happen on the ring but outside it. it can be a mundane thing like smiling at a stranger, helping out a friend,not getting angry at someone that is irritating you. the strongest people are the ones who can live in this world and smile and be kind onto others. we all know how easy it is to get irritated and negative and aggravated with this world. what does it take to do away with all that, and even love this world for what that is? this is a fight on a psychic ring of immense magnitudes. that is my personal fight, to never acknowledge division, to see harmony everywhere, and what was once called evil, is no more
-
it is my goal to describe the way I experience the present moment so that you can all draw your own personal conclusions. One thing that stuck with me in spirituality is that you should be able to be happy anywhere you are, no matter who you're with. Meaning that when you walk alone on the street you should be able to be completely satisfied just walking alone on the street. I know understand why this is possible. Everything has so so much detail in the present moment. If you take a psychedelic and suddenly see the world in interesting ways this is the way the world is seen in the present moment, always. The pavement feels alive, sounds evolve, everything looks like the most beautiful piece of art you've ever seen, and it is. Because you literally switch dimensions, to live in the present is to experience an entirely different world. this is the best description I can give of change of world in the present moment. Everything has more dimension, more weight, more uniqueness. You know what you're looking at, but you know it's different then before. One can say both these images represent the same thing, but yet they are entirely different. If you viewed the world like the first image, and then you view it like the second image, is it really the same world? it merely shares the same ''blueprints'' but it has nothing to do with the previous. There's so much dimension to everything and myself that in proportion nothing changed,I'm not taller then lets say a building,but I feel a hundred times much taller then I used to be. Because the building became taller too. the proportions stay the same, but I feel and I know that this world is so much bigger then the one I used to live in a year ago. sometimes when a group of people pass by, it is so mesmerizing, it's like completely out of this world, the speed, the dimensions involved, it's like you'd be looking at a bunch of asteroids fly by in space. cars are cars, but they're so detailed and alive, they look like alien spacecraft with a unique personality. the sound of a car going by is like sci-fi sound now compared to before. where I want to get to guys,is that you can fully trust the present moment. leave your worries behind, there is infinity in the present moment, you can be completely ecstatic and live an insane adventure just walking on the street, your regular job can become a place of infinite magic. it is never about what you see and experience, there are infinite layers of reality behind your current reality, available to be explored
-
probably too much pressure on yourself. you know that if you start you will relapse to your old habits (which is normal) and you will judge yourself harshly. change by having contempt for where you are right now is toxic and it puts a huge amount of pressure. change is gradual, it is not a switch, therefore you can't change efficiently if you just want to jump ship and adopt a shiny new identity while throwing the ''old you'' in the trash. change needs to be about acceptance, you accept that you desire to change but you also accept who you are right now, this may sound paradoxal but it really isn't. We don't change because there is something wrong with us, we change because that is the nature of life, life is ever-changing, so is the universal, it is the natural cosmic flow, it is not trying to get somewhere while having contempt for everything else one can change while completely accepting where he is right now. why will he change if he accepts where he is completely? because that is simply the flow of life

every soul is on its journey and everyone is on a certain ''enlightened level''. certain people can be enlightened above average but not be aware of it consciously, from the past experience of their previous lives they act by instinct in enlightened behaviors and concepts. so don't only look at those who are into spirituality and the likes. I went to a spiritual session with a shaman a few weeks and I could immediately tell she was a lot more enlightened then me. I'd compare enlightened people to energy, it was like she was acting from this deep sea, her movements were slower but much more meaningful and powerful, her expressions seemed ''slower'' too , more paced, tuned into her own emotions. eyebatting is a definite physical sign. enlightened people bat their eyes much more slower then others, I've experienced it myself with my evolution, I know recognize how fast others bat their eyes compared to me, whereas before this wasn't the case. this is also related to greater energy and being more in the present moment. they pay a lot more attention to the present moment so they bat their eyes slowly because they're taking in a lot of information. if one is less enlightened, and more into the mind and thoughts, less into the present moment the eyes bat way more faster. I think it is also related to relaxation, if you look at a relaxed cat you will see that its bats its eyes very slowly and very paced. enlightened people are by nature more relaxed and will thus bat their eyes more slowly this is definitely the biggest sign I've seen so far. the greater the energy the more focused the look. enlightened people are also much more into their bodies and make more quirky movements, babies are the ultimate example of that
