One must ultimately realize that all of our insights on the path, and the interpretations we have of our "samadhi" experiences, be they persistent or temporary are ultimately just as "untrue" as any of the ego's delusions. Reality, and the truth just are, and can not be reduced to any idea/ideas. Whether the person churning out the ideas is enlightened or not. Point. The more serious you are on the path, and yourself. The further you are from the pathless one. thoughts?

@Joseph Maynor Naked Reality.

Sorry I skimmed through your post earlier. After reading it in detail, it could be you resisting an awakening and forcing it to not happen. I have heard of such things happen. It could also be something entirely different. Dont dwell on it. Move on and if from now on you feel a lot of resistance. Physical resitance and stress. Let me know. If not like I said just move on. PS be honest with yourself, stay true to your experience and be wary of the ego that wants to take evry little thing, claim it anf and feel special because of it's claims.

Try out the following sequence. It is super effective. The 5 tibetans. Breath of fire or wim hofs beathing technique. Mine works pretty well a well but do not feel like describing it atm. It is on my channel. The vid is called the breath is sacred or something. Followed by a good 20-30 minutes of meditation.

I think for I am is dumb fuckinf statement. Yes. It will keep "creating" itself. Also you can not juggle your attachmeny to self development and the path at one time. They contradict each other. I recommend gettimg to a place where the ego tolerable. Where you are stable and functional, and then jump right in the path amd let it destroy you. Utterly and completely. Becareful what you ask for though. Your experience will eventually become bettet thn anything you imagine but the ego will need to be humbled time and time again to get there. Which will be rather difficult.

Way kore than you think. Awakenings are actually quite common. Or at least not as rare as people think.

Haha <3

That is a great quote:) There is another course that is worth checking out as well. Its free too haha Cant self promote will just say dude putting out the course used to be kind of douchy. Dude is me. Dude apologizes.

5 meo awakens tge shakti within. Which is not necessarily good;) the ego can have a rough time if it still in charge to a large degree and if the person cant surrender. Practicing kundalini yoga + grounsing yourself in emptiness are the best things you can do post 5 meo. if the ego is in charge lighter psychedelics are recommended imo

@Richard Alpert Psilohuasca? They offer the toad version of 5 meo. Which is not as strong ive heard. On the other hand have heard great things about their psilohuasca concoction,

Weed is a drug that feeds the ego imo. Alcohol, cigarettes and most stimulants do as well. Psychedelics are anti ego. Do not be counter productive.

Shouts out to monkey minds everywhere. Doing what they do best.

No. Mushrooms or psychedelic therapy have been found to be effective (in the right setting) in regards to the acceptance if death and the depression that is often accompanied by cancer though.

I just wrote this in response to no thing, and was like damn, that is some good shit I wrote haha jk. In all seriousness. I think the following advice can make the post awakening process smoother fo those who have recently had an awakening. "Not sure if you have recently had an awakening or not. I will just share a story with you. Once adyashanti was speaking at his sangha. One of his audience members who hd an awakening walked up on stage. Grabbed tge mic from audio and started babbling truths. like he knows everything and adya does not get it like him. Upon awakening one does feel like that. Most also become very opinionated on the path. Enlightenment and etc. I personally did shit like this for a long while, but the more you process the realization one has upon awakening. The humbler you become, and the more you understand that although you are truth. You do not understand it and the infinite ways it can express itself. My point? Chill bro. You are at the begglinning of something great. Dont let ego hijack your vehicle and drive you off course though. Gl"

A dream is very real. "Upon awakening (satori) mountains no longer seem like mountains and trees no longer seem like trees, upon enlightenment mountains are once again mountains and trees are one again trees"

@No-Thing Totally agree my dude

@No-Thing God, Shakti, leilas play. Are merely symbols that represent the energetic half of the infinite. Which do be real doe.

UG and his lack of awareness of emptiness or god always astounded me as he was a person that helped me a lot on the path. I now understand why. If you read jeffrey martin's locations within symbolic consiousness, and ugs biological enlightenment book. Im which he talks about enlightenment as a biological event. It will alsp be clear he experiences life from location four out of the numerous "locations" that exist within nom symbolic consiousness. That fact plus his personality lead to the ug you see online. He is great for hardcore seekers that need to stop seeking but kind of sucks as a teacher. description of location 4 "Location 4, which includes both the transitional location and those beyond it where the experience it ushers in continues to deepen. All remaining vestiges of self-related thoughts are gone by this point, as are experiences of emotion. Feelings of deep interconnectedness and union with God, an all pervasive consciousness, and so forth also disappeared. These participants reported having no sense of agency or any ability to make a decision. It felt as if life was simply unfolding and they were watching the process happen. Severe memory deficits were common in these participants, including the inability to recall scheduled events that were not regular and ongoing. Participants who progressed to this location from one or more previous ones reported the highest level of well-being. Often this amazed them as they did not imagine anything could have been better than Location 3. " I agree with most of what you said though

Samsara is nirvana is a good one

Adyashanti>>

While that is true. Some just can not accept that because it means all of their beliefs that give them a sense of security are false. That all their understanding bullshit. People want to add on to their knowledge instead of destroying the foundation of their world.

The ego that wants to be special and yearns for "enlightenment" is leaning you make said rash decisions not meditation.

The voice that thinks it figures things out. Let it go. The voice that holds on to insights let it go. Giving up, giving in. Let them go. And just get a feel of what surrender feela like. Hold on to that.

@TJ Reeves mystical experiences are not only caused by an increase in deep delta/epsilon waves. They also caused by an increase in gamma waves. Weird, but that is how it is.
