Enlightenment goes beyond the human experience. I wanna respect your question, but you are stuck at that belief. Enlightenment is beyond anything human. How can you let go of the Ego when you are thinking of Enlightenment Egoically?

Awesome! I love seeing all the various ways non-duality has been expressed in culture.

I love meditating more and more so I get it.

When I say along the lines of Awareness of the Breath, I mean that simple. Awareness of the breath is very simple and effective. That's my kind of practice. Just give me like one simple technique to do. I don't wanna overwhelm myself with Yoga.

Have you discovered unchanging Awareness yet? Ya ever notice there’s something about the Now that never changes?

I like this.

Exactly, yes.

Do you resonate with what I’m saying or do you have a bit of a different take?

You have no control over the Dream. Just accept whatever presents itself to Awareness.

Good question. Both the mind and the brain are in the changing Dream. You need to find that unchanging Awareness that watches everything in the changing Dream. It’s hidden in plain sight, but a lot of this work is discovering unchanging Awareness. Notice that in a sense the Now never changes. That will get you looking in the right direction. Inquire into what is the mind? Does the mind change? Does Awareness ever change? What is Awareness? Can you confirm that Awareness never changes?

Yep. Unchanging awareness. Getting worn out is Egoic. You should not be getting affected that way by anything happening in the Dream. That shows there are still shards of Ego left to be removed.

Enlightenment is like a religion for Philosophers. That’s tongue in cheek haha. However — Enlightenment does require the kind of probing and questioning that a lot of personalities would be averse to. That might explain the INTP connection. INTPs naturally do the work. Enlightenment is more up their alley. But that doesn’t mean that Enlightenment wouldn’t be good for other personalities. They are just less inclined to naturally question everything under the Sun like INTPs do.

I kind of agree with this. It’s pointing in the right direction.

Make sure to come back after your deep-dive into the work. Share your insights with all of us! You’re gonna have more stuff to teach, more insights about the path and about awakening.

I like walking up stairs and hills.

The perfect Yoga is probably Jiu-Jitsu.

You'll be aware of the Dream experiencing Enlightenment. Awareness is just awareness. All it does is awareness. And it never changes. Awareness is the one thing that never changes. Have you noticed that?

That's a good point. I'm on board. It seems like a great avenue to explore.

Bliss is when you don't have a dog in the fight in the Dream. You can stand back and watch the magic show all the time, rain or shine.

That's fair. I do want to get into it.

Full Enlightenment is not a state, it's permanent. You're just as Enlightened when you're sitting on the toilet as you are when you drop 5-MeO-DMT.

It's amazing the rules people think they need to conform to to be spiritual. The whole point of spirituality is to realize that you can't live by rules. There is no you that is living by any rules. That's just a pipe-dream. So, yeah, just be authentic. I have a masculine side to me. That feels really natural to me, and I let it fly, I don't try to control anything. I appreciate both masculine and feminine energy. Video on point to watch:

What is to think when you can see.

Crystals are amazing to have around. They have a kind of stirring effect on the mind. I'm a fan. I have a more intellectual way to stir my beliefs that I prefer, but that's just me.
