The truth is everyone else except you dies and you as the human-self die too for others so that this keeps until everybody is dead within their experience is the only one themselves are left. You were, are and will be.
 
Let me give you a favor and extract some human-useful insights from the above, you'll live more than you'll think. You'll die within your loved ones' experience and they'll think you're dead, you'll simply move into hyper-dimension state, where you'll live there, also they'll get separate into their own higher dimension and the same thing will happen to them as well you'll think they're dead, until to the point where every-dimension will collapse or expand to such infinitude that will collide into one and you're, as everyone of you, all is the one.

@CreamCat in a sense, i am talking about beings that are living in your physical and older than 1000 human years yes this is possible. When you wake up and connected to source-self/consciousness you have access to tapping into everything/everyone else as well. You just know things without ever learning them "physically" because its a quantum remembering that takes places when you reach such a high level of spiritual awareness.
@Soulbass Everything in the universe is made up of 3 things, energy, frequency and vibration. We shape and tune it how we project it ourselves, we are GOD, we are the Creator pretending not to be. Once we wake up to this true self, we can finally reside in the awareness to "see" how it all works.
Everything physical is a projection/illusion/belief system we have created/bought into thus it works because by conditioning and our definitions of it we know it works because that's what we have accepted, once we break free from this illusion we can do absolutely anything we desire without any limitations holding us back.
For example: If we grew up in a world where everyone is "known" to usually live to 1000 and still live the same way, eat the same way we do today currently in our world, everyone would so because of the collective belief = energy is manifest in that direction. Now once you wake up to your true, divine self. You break free from this illusion so you create your own "knowings" by universal understanding, no longer by human conditioning/understanding and bought belief systems.
If we were raised and taught we could fly, we simply would because the universe works this way(ultimately we are electromagnetic beings), just because science and our scientific mind cannot grasp how, doesn't mean its impossible. We create, project, accept the world how we chose to buy into from birth what's true and what is not.
It can be anyway you wish or desire if you know who and what you are to your core and how to recreate because when you know who and what you truly are at a universal level, you know how it ALL works. Sometimes you may not always reside in Awareness to "see" it, but once you know it, its indefinite.
Oh and these people are no differen't from anyone else, they just know more of who and what they are so they live in a more semi or quasi-physical life so they are more embodied in pure energetics rather than physicality. Yes they are still physical but the are at such a high rate of spiritual awareness that their frequency "vibrates" at an extremely high rate that they are almost non-physical.
You can notice this if you are sensitive enough or vibrate closer to their level you will notice some beings project a significant amount of energy/light from them and its very attractive/magnetic and sometimes you get the human emotions of idk what it is about these being but they radiate such pure, divine energy.
Feeling the energy is usually the first indication but eventually you can see the light shining from them too, notice how all the old pictures of Jesus, buddha ect..l all have shining light and gold/white/silver Auras around them specifically around their heads? People were more in-tune back then and could see what many struggle to see today due to the collective acceptance of what is true and what is not.
Another simple example is get a tuning fork. Its physical right? because its vibration is low and dense, what happens when you struck it? It vibrates and makes higher and higher pitch sound and becomes harder and harder to see as it vibrates faster and faster. We are no different, all is one.
Now for instance you naturally vibrate very high or take a psychedelic to temporarily enhance your vibrational frequency, you will notice you can actually see the waves and energies of the tuning fork vibrate because "you" are vibrating faster too so you "notice" it and see things you usually don't see when your sober, because the faster you vibrate the closer to light speed you become, the more in awareness you reside, the slower time becomes, the more you notice and "see" ect... You will have to hit the fork 10x harder now.
We hinder our own light and potential by what you buy into. Let go and surrender to your infinite intelligence.
Sadly its one of those things that cannot be taught to another, only realized by self within.
 

Nice but there are humans far older than him currently living. I know this is hard for our conditioned mind/belief system wiring to take in but there are people over 1000, just a handful but that's just the example i will give, as for 150+, well over 300. We are just taught different thus why its so hard to accept and most live in solitude and yes they are human. Note the oldest ones don't look that old because they have gained the wisdom and knowledge to absorb more light thus regenerate their bodies countless times more efficient than the average human.
Ultimately none of us age if we lived the right way, we are materialized light but how to live that way is the question at hand. Mindset/belief systems, wisdom, understanding of the universe plays far greater role that what we put in our bodies or what we surround ourselves with. Once we find who we are to the core, the source self, the creator consciousness.
Aging ceases to exist as aging/death become known illusions. Sure we can still fall back into the illusion but why?
 

I just thought i'd share my experience meeting with a rather unique individual, a gentleman of 122 years old living in Varanasi India. According to records, the longest living human lived to 122 years, Jeanne Calment of France. Given that there were no birth certificates in India in 1896, Sivananda's age cannot be independently verified. Although, his date of birth was discovered at a temple register.  

Sivananda lives a disciplined, monastic style life, is vegan and has no diseases. He does not accept donations or money. He doesn't even eat fruit, as an example, because the severely poor cannot afford fruit. He mainly lives on white rice, dahl and rotti (wholemeal flat bread). 
As far as his physical ability goes, I followed him up a couple of flights of stairs which he managed just fine. He moves around a surprising amount!
Although his base is in Varanasi, he's often travelling around India and has many followers all over the country. The man exudes humility, and as soon as I met him he was organising food for me. It was an honour to meet with him.

What y'all think about really observing your thoughts?
   

I have been thinking over authenticity lately because I've been doing quite some self-reflection and shadow work etc. Plus there was a video of Teal Swan that also made me think about it - in a very short summary she says that people who don't like being in other people's company are not authentic because they are not showing their true self to them and it is tiresome, they can only be themselves when they are alone. And as usually with her videos I agreed only to certain extend because there is a ring of truth to it (but there are too many other factors that contribute in my opinion - but it's for another post ;)).
Anyway, what I was wondering is if not showing a part of who we are to other people is a lie? We all do it: showing only certain face to certain person because we think it will resonate best with her/him or we know that this person is not ready to know all about us - they are too closed minded or on another level than we are. Bah, we are often hiding stuff from ourselves - in that sense it is lying I guess, so is it also lying to other people? Most of the people I know have no clue about me. They are not bothered to know me and I am not bothered to make them know me. I often hide what I think - I don't explicitly lie but I don't speak out. Am I unauthentic?

Being authentic and free is the key  

no it most certainly wont
...then again it might produce the ability to have sex with the entire universe.....

So I saw Leos blog post about skepticism and... well I started doing it.
It got me going after even the words being and consciousness...
Like,,, if I am nothing... am I even Being?  Like if I dont say I am being, if i dont label or categorize anything as Being, is it Being, is there Being?
And with consciousness... if there is no one conscious, and I really cant find the one being consciouss... and the objects of conscioussness are no things... just labels, and illusory boundaries I make up, and well you guys know...
And then even the words Nothing, No-thing, Absolute, Infinity... all those things I doubt and deconstruct...
I enter this deep silence that has been hard to attain without this practice.  Like a Void that destroys everything but creates more anew continously.
Anyways I felt like sharing... 
Happy weekend everyone

Breath will tell you, just listen.

@Lynnel IFTTT (If this, then that) This app allows me to set alerts for myself at certain times of the day. For example, I have set up an alert at 1pm, a text, that i get from the app asking something along the lines of, "Am i optimizing my time?" Also, i have an alert at 9pm to "Do your night reflection".
Its a very handy tool if you want to regulate yourself daily!
Check out the To Do App called "MinimaList" - try it for a few days and see how you like it.
You can also try Trello and EverNote. 

Happens all the time.
That's just your mind trying to trick you into lazyness and going back to inconsciousness.
It's never gonna be easy, there will always have resistance to meditate or any other spiritual practice.
 
Of course there are !
You're slowly realizing that you're a sneaky filthy ass who lies about everything !
Including its own existence !
 
?

...no comment.
Still, believe English is the most awesome and, exp: Chinese the nastiest? 
Think again!
 

There are deeper levels and more facets.
Don't stop prematurely.
Depression is an egoic reaction. It's normal and to be expected. But go beyond it. Go deeper.

Join Toastmasters and/or practice talking out loud to yourself in the car, at home, in the shower.
Also, talking to a camera really helps. Just set up your smart phone on a tripod, hit record, and talk. Do this every day and you will improve rapidly.
Talk about whatever you are most passionate about and have lots of experience with. For example, if you love techno music, talk about that.

Santata Gamana’s New book: Turiya-The God State, is out. Some of you who are practicing his Kriya Yoga might like to check it out:

If you seek peace, be still.
If you seek strength, be brave.
If you seek wisdom, be silent.
If you seek mindfulness, be compassionate.
If you seek healing, be in nature.
If you seek nirvana, be love.
If you seek love, be yourself.
Namaste

Keep meditating.
Consider simplifying your lifestyle to make more room for what REALLY is MOST important for you.
Take time to figure out what that is.

That's just ego backlash/resistance.
If you're doing a lot of personal dev then you should expect to feel WORSE not better. This is like lifting heavy weights at the gym. Muscle soreness is not bad, it's sorta the point.
Big change is emotionally taxing.
You must learn to console yourself in times of stress and upheaval.
But also, don't be spending all day doing personal dev. Schedule some time for R&R and fun. Your schedule needs to be sustainable in the long run.

It happened to me in a similar manner. But now after some years from my first awakening and thousands more, I can say there is an immediate shift in being yes. 
But like any practice or experience, one can manage better with time what was happening, how to grow, how to keep the harmony growing without getting trapped and continuing healing and expanding. So Elkhart Tolle is in his own journey. People like to point out that one shift in ones experience and that is enlightenment. I say yes and no. Try it for yourself. We cannot agree what Enlightenment is at the end of the day. 
Does myself have the ability & knowledge to heal or seeing reality as it is, even at the magnitude of controlling those unawakened or psychic abilities? Do one still thinks he/she is enlightened? 
When I first started to play around with people thoughts, making them feel blissful and full of joy, raising the vibration on those around. Yes, I said to myself "I'm enlightened". Same when I first discovered how reality works, getting all the secrets of any human being that has ever lived or still alive or from any source of information or art, understanding any maze and puzzle of the reality. 
Now I can say Enlightenment is something of the magnitude of eternal growth if one let it happen. Or if one chooses can go Mooji style, staying in the same patterns for years and get worshipped. This is a way of those who went a little further into the darkness and lighten up a candle. 

@LiberatedMonkey You are so young, you have lots of time to work on many things. Plan things out strategically.
Life purpose is a very long-term project. It will take you at least 5 years to seriously actualize it. So while you're chipping away at that, you should of course also work on other areas of your life like developing dating skills.
You can work on your life purpose most of the week, but then Friday & Saturday nights you can focus on dating. This will actually rejuvenate you for next week's work.
Counter-intuitively you can sometimes accomplish more work when you have good outlets for rejuvenation & socialization.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
There are times in your life when you will need to focus on your LP 100% to the exclusion of everything else. But then there are times when that's not efficient, where you don't have that much work to do on your LP, which frees up time for other things. And sometimes you will need to put your LP on the backburner for a while (into maintenance mode) while you work on your relationships, family, house, health, etc.
At your current stage in life you probably don't need to be spending 8 hours a day on your LP.
