today sucks and I feel hopeless. I want to die, no I won't do it, it's just nice to imagine. Going back to God, the end of all problems (?), oneness with the infinite, eternal bliss (?) At least I'm not suicidal over no women anymore . Now it's just the fact that my life sucks and I actively make it worse with thc. 12 hours sober .

Well that was kind of the question of the LP course and I didnt really find a good answer just a general direction and many things which kind of interest me. The closest thing would probably be to heal people existentially, who feel betrayed by god. But I feel hurt and betrayed by god also. And I dont know if I just value that because I need it. - expressing metaphysical bliss to heal people existentially - My whole contemplation about what I want in life is clouded because I am semi depressed. It's natural, if you feel bad you dont like to do the things you normally like to do. If you felt bad for years you dont even know what you enjoy that much. Well I had though times socially all the way from kindergarden to high school being bullied and taken advantage of a lot. That resulted in a feeling of low self worth which made it difficult to even find friends in university. As a tactical move I went to a theatre club to find friends and grow my confidence and that was partly a total fuckup, it would be a very long story, but to put it short even there I had very bad social experiences and got really desperate as I didnt know what alternative I had. I can only really deal with social situations with medication now. And I am slowly managing the situations now. And I procrastinated so much in university and didnt know what was going on with me feeling incapable and like a failure. Neither healing nor getting shit done for a long time slowly eats at you.

This sort of thinking is similar to those that think Ignorance is Bliss, then life hits You hard and nothing changes then end of life happens and You wonder why it was this way, why all the suffering then lights out and start all over again.. We are above this!

Hey cool it's 1111 right now I've been seeing that a lot lately although I don't attribute it to any meaning but it might have meaning and what is meaning does anyone have moments where they have no idea what anything that goes through their head is I have moments like this for instance I ask what belief means then I realize I have no idea what belief is because I only have my thought and a feeling to tell me what that is and I don't know if it's correct because I have nothing to compare it to sometimes I realize that everything is imagination in my mind and I cease to believe anything at all in my head only for like 5 minutes or so then I go back to sleep by watching YouTube videos and getting lost I really like ASMR Glow wish I could be with her she's such a unique woman I have this silly fantasy where if I find out who I am then maybe I can be with her but if I am infinite then eventually I will be with her I'm distracting myself from back pain if you're wondering why I can't meditate right now I sure did put myself in quite the hellscape if I am the truth God universe whatever sometimes I resent myself for it because I have this belief system that I have adopted that all is 1 I am like a child in my head whining and complaining quite often really my voice speaks hope but my mind is poison for me I am aware that direct experience is king right now in this moment is the only one that exists perhaps I don't know if people believe what they say on these forums but some wild stuff has been said for me I find comfort in the belief of nothing although it's hard to retain it's so beautiful Being free of thoughts it's very hard creating strings of logic in my mind now probably because I've been doing do nothing meditation for quite a while I think it's a blessing in a way because ignorance is bliss kind of like that guy from the matrix who ate the steak well my intuition is saying that's enough so onto something else bye me

@Sugarcoat Most do not want this, or total loss of Self, their live, family/friends, career and such, they just want less stress, more Ease, more Peace, and eventually overall Bliss and Well Being, and we are hardwired to be this way, just read a trip report, there is much fear when going on a strong trip, where is this fear coming from? Ego identity, self Identity, small little me and my situation identity, this is natural up until a point where it is not wanted, like going to grade school forever, sooner or later You want to go to high school, then college or university, and then to graduate right, its like this, but ppl get stuck along the way, or zig zag thru life, going in this direction then changing directions constantly, so they are really living by accident, Being Conscious means living on purpose with a road map and clarity of knowing where exactly to go...

Life is not really weird, its just most of Us are living via Experience on the surface level of it, just accumulating and gathering, we want more experience, more $$, more relationships, more knowing, more and more and more, this is a natural by the way, this is Desire, but we identify with a Body and Mind (thoughts, emotions, thinking, ideology) and via that identification, we only accumulate in a certain way, mostly physical, 5 sense organ gratification sort of way, most everything everyone is desiring is based on one of the sense organs, just look at it.. Now this is low level of Awareness, Survival Level of Living Life (Life is Absolute being Manifested and Realized in a Form of Sorts, on this dual, material, karmic planet), as Humans we have way more Potential.. Its like stating something is a Miracle! If You were to bring a person from 500yrs ago, even 100yrs ago and bring them into the society of today and show them the technology we are using, they would say it is a Miracle, but it is not really, its just Science being discovered (Reality being uncovered, or being put into Awareness), and then Usage of it being Applied to practical use, that is what Technology is, so it is the same with Living this Life, as Humans we can live way beyond Survival Level, whereas all other life forms are stuck in Survival Level, so once You go on this path, what seems like a Miracle to You if Your a Newbie, is normal if You've been into it for awhile, we get Used to Peace, Happiness, Intensity of Experience, Clarity and even Bliss, You want to eventually go beyond all of this, and be Liberated, but don't even think about that until You get the Peace thing down pat, as a normal Life Experience, if Your not at that level Yet, don't be concerned with Liberation or Enlightenment..

You only ask Why if Suffering is involved, most all Why questions (when it comes to existential questions) come from a POV of Suffering, if You were Blissed out would You ask Why? Probably not, You'd be busy enjoying the Bliss. Ego is there to allow You to have a sense of Individuality, this is there because it brings forth in existence a Unique Life Form, Life itself is the representation of Absolute in a Manifested form in this realm we call planet Earth, that has Duality and Karma and Free Will. Ego just allows Absolute to experience itself in trillions of ways, without Ego then this uniqueness would not come about. Ego is there for other reasons as well, but I think this is the primary.. Identification with Ego is the problem, not the existence of the Ego itself, its needed to survive in a society and world where in the end we need to function with others... Self is just a combination of everything that encompasses what we are made up of, a Body, Mind, Emotions, Energy, Ego, Free Will, Consciousness, Awareness, mostly Unlimited Potential and Possibility...

All of what I have found in the LP course is correct I think. But my vision is very clouded and I couldn’t reveal everything about myself. I have always had a certain existential optimism about life. There is a certain beauty about every experience when you connect it to its existential structure where killing stems from a place of love and so on. And you experiencing reality and getting involved get first hand experience of this drama and can therefore marvel at the existential manifested. And it’s also about self love in all of this. You can deeply love not how bad your situation is but how deep you try to do the best and can structural beauty in that and fall in love in a deeper way with yourself. I was profoundly incredible at self love. This is maybe the best I can describe it, it’s hard to think of how I were thinking. I just feel like most people don’t value these traits and I feel so depleted. I have given up a little with falling in love with life or I am just so out of touch with it. Sometimes when I take a nap at noon or at random events some sunbeams of that once felt inner bliss still sting me for a short while. If I would write stories/ create art this is what they could be about. The inner struggle of falling in love with life. That’s how I could articulate it: Seeing the existential structure in fucked up situations to love reality profoundly.

@Javfly33 Yes, Bliss is not an Emotion, its a permanent State that is only available to those that Realize, it doesn't mean that one does not feel negative emotions like pain, frustration and such, but the underline of their current state is Bliss, which basically means I completely know that everything is alright! With that comes as Sadhguru says, a place where "What about Me" is not longer there, when that happens Fear is not possible and Your full stride ahead in Life, so Bliss is the basis of ones Potential and Possibility which each of Us has to explore and examine in depth, it may be realized as differences in one another but whatever You find out as Your Highest Potential is okay for You, it may change over time but its better than staying stuck in the doldrums of up and down emotions and survival accumulating and gathering ppl, places, things and experiences...

Falsehood, Death, Suffering, and Darkness also have to be infinitely intelligent because infinite intelligence is required to separate from the infinity of Truth, Life, Bliss, and Light. It's unconscious to him, but on its own in some emanations it's conscious, right? From the nonhuman world? The same force working through Hitler is going to try to make another crack at it.

I don't understand a thing in ukrainian language or russian, but he makes me fly through a nighsky full of stars and bliss with his music. Maybe is just my taste but since 2019 since I've first discovered his music I've been simply mesmerized by his music. Especially while I drive I love driving while listening to him, makes me like I am on a magical journey.

1) You are correct in that you cannot know ahead of time whether you will ever find truth or whether it even exists. But what you're overlooking is that no such gaurantee is needed. You can explore consciousness without needing any gaurantees from it. That is the way. 2) Why is desire for truth a problem? If you value truth, then pursue it and enjoy the process. Is your desire arbitrary? Even if it is, so what? In a sense, anything you choose to do is arbitrary. And you gotta do something either way. But also, maybe your desire is more than just that. Maybe it has a profound divine source. You don't know yet so don't jump to conclusions. 3) Pursuing bliss is a rather dubious idea. A mature mind isn't motivated by promises of raw pleasure. But there is a more advanced notion of bliss that might be a valid path. If you actually pursue the goal of being unconditionally at peace in all of life's situations, and you go about that seriously, then you will eventually discover that it leads you to Truth. But you must be careful not to confuse this with pleasure-seeking. This would be real bliss. 4) In the end, Truth and Bliss will be identical. But you can climb the same mountain from opposite sides.

And then I consume an amazing magical imaginary crystal. This crystal is a psychedelic substance. It's beautiful, divine, magical, sensational. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. You're nestled in a secluded clearing, surrounded by towering trees and the gentle hum of nature. As the first tendrils of the amazing crystal take hold, your senses begin to heighten. Colors seem to vibrate, ordinary objects transforming into kaleidoscopic wonders. The rustling leaves whisper secrets, and the distant hoot of an owl carries a profound message. Your body feels light, floating on a cloud of euphoria. Time loses its grip, each moment stretching into an eternity of pure sensation. You close your eyes, and a symphony of colors and patterns explodes behind your eyelids. Fractals twist and turn, morphing into fantastical creatures and abstract landscapes. You feel a deep connection to everything around you – the trees, the earth, the cosmos. Boundaries dissolve, and you become one with the universe. Laughter bubbles up from deep within, a joyful release of pure bliss. As the peak of the experience subsides, a sense of peace and tranquility washes over you. You emerge from the journey with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and interconnectedness of all things. The world seems brighter, more vibrant, and filled with a sense of wonder. A beauty that can never be relinquished.

Your making a claim that life is pure, beautiful, perfect harmony and Love... on a certain level it is, but its not complete, as there is suffering right! Denying that there is suffering is not seeing the whole complete picture, we have to do that first, and accept it absolutely, then Life opens up and Love, Beauty, Harmony are within my Experience, this is what Bliss is.. From that then we go out and do action and try to fix all the suffering going on, so that yes existence is more perfect, loving and beautiful on all levels... Before Birth there is an identity, its karmic based, karma is there in the being that is there before it finds a womb to be born into, so yes there is a sense of ego there before birth!

Truth is what is now, about any matter--unveiling it is the goal. You may be overlooking that freedom and bliss often come about as side effects of increased consciousness. Pursuing them by themselves hinders an open investigation, which is essential in this work. It is easy to fool oneself--what you might be after is a better experience or an ideal. Also, one can't free himself from something he's not conscious of, ergo what's true about it. Using an extremely inaccurate metaphor, you are asking for intimacy and emotional closeness while foregoing communication. It seems the former can't occur without the latter.

I do think because being intouch with Truth is associated with Bliss or "Heaven" that ppl do search for it and go on the Spiritual Path, there's no denying that, but I think that its true, if Your intouch with Truth You will be Blissful..

Also, Bliss is not the Goal, but with Bliss You smooth out the path to Enlightenment and Truth, so if Your naturally Blissful Your path to Enlightenment is most guaranteed and easier, and Sadhguru says this as well, he also said even Bliss can get boring and used to, so don't get caught up in things like that, if Your intensity to know and be intouch with Truth is there, You'll not be denied it...

Once you fully realize Truth you will also realize infinite bliss and love. If you don’t, then you haven’t fully realized Truth.

The Bliss that is being talked about is Braman itself, is not a psychological Happy state, like the one could get from transactions in the world. Bliss is a natural result of You losing identification with anything, and is identical to ultimate Liberation and Enlightment. How would It feel to finally be Free? Blissful, of course. Nirvana Shatakam mantra says: "I am the form of consciousness and Bliss, I am Shiva (that which is Not)". Nice you mention Sadhguru, here's his take on It: Nirvana means "formless." The Nirvana Shatakam is towards this – you don’t want to be either this or that. If you don’t want to be this nor that, then what do you want to be? Your mind cannot understand this because your mind always wants to be something. If I say, “I don’t want to be this; I don’t want to be that,” you would think, “Oh something super!” Not super. “Oh, so emptiness?” Not emptiness.“Nothingness?” Not nothingness. That’s what is being conveyed through this chant.

In my Devi meditation sitting I gathered the following insights - My body is a vessel of the soul The body is only an external identity to live this life. This external identity has no real meaning. Devi helps to ground me. This grounding is important. It's the base vibration of the soul. We want to prevent and even escape suffering. When we ground ourselves, we only attract those situations and forces that are healing to the life force resided in the soul The way we react is important. The grounding exercise helps us to be more resilient where we can enjoy happiness and experience less discontent and we experience massive fortitude in bad circumstances that helps us to not be bogged down by the ups and downs of life. Basically practicing Devi helps cultivate mental spiritual fortitude and resilience. There's an automatic inner state of peace and calm while grounding with Devi. You begin to experience true bliss You only attract healing vibes and situations and things that help your inner state of being thrive Cultivating Devi practice through Archala Arpanam as Sadhguru notes has helped me open up in different ways. I have been doing this since past 3 days now and i have felt peace, protection and calm. I call this 'grounding.' Now I understand what Sadhguru meant when he said we need to be empty in order for Devi to do her work. He said we are full of ourselves. He was right about it. If you're full of yourself, how could you let anything in? You have to empty yourself for it to work. Just grounding with Devi. Letting her inspire and ground my soul. I especially liked this particular Jai Bhairavi Devi Stuti to bring Devi into me. It resonates with my soul. I feel the words and their meanings. This is the original basic Linga Bhairavi Devi stuti by Sadhguru. It really invokes me. So powerful.

7th name Nāgeshwari Nageshwari. Nageshwari refers to snakes. Snakes are revered and worshipped as sacred creatures throughout Indian culture. They are the symbol of fertility, creative life force, perception, and mystical dimensions. They also symbolize rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing by shedding their skin. At Linga Bhairavi, the divine energy of Devi can be felt through the symbolic Divine sarpas carved in Her abode. They are adorned and filled with kumkum or valmeekam as a part of the ritual that enhances regenerative qualities and perception. 8th name Vishweshwari Vishweshwari - 'All pervading' or 'omnipresent'. Vishweshwari is a salutation used to address Linga Bhairavi, whose presence is exceptionally powerful and all-encompassing.As Vishveshwari, she is regarded as the queen and ruler of all existence, protecting and nurturing the entire universe like a Divine Mother. As a manifestation of the Divine Feminine, she is incredibly fierce yet equally benevolent and kind towards her devotees. 9th name Someshwari One of the 33 qualities of Devi Linga Bhairavi is that she is Someshwari. Someshwari refers to the moon. The Goddess of the moon or the one who is intoxicated with bliss. Cycle of Moon and cycles in woman body are closely connected. 10th name Dukhasamharini Devi Bhairavi is a destroyer of suffering. Dukha means suffering and samharam means the destroyer. Suffering comes in various forms for various people, Devi's compassionate energies eliminate suffering in an instant or gradually, according to what's best for the people. Not only for living beings, but she offers ease and peaceful transition for our departed ones as well. As the past is also a kind of suffering, She frees people from their past as well. 11th name Hiranya Garbhini Hiranya Garbhini is the salutation to Devi Bhairavi as the very source of creation of the universe. It basically translates to a 'golden womb.' Devi is seen as the one who delivers existence itself. She is ever pregnant with the essence of life. This sacred space is as vast as the universe itself. In much of Bharat's culture and modern vernacular languages, pregnant women are still referred to as Garbhini, a term that kindles tenderness and signifies the divine within them. Garbhini is also one who nurtures life to its full potential and then engulfs it back to make it a part of herself again. The word is not just limited to human beings. It refers to all life forms that are pregnant, thus a reminder that Her presence exists in every life.

What do you do with a battery charger? You simply plug it in. You give a signal by turning the switch on. You do the same here. You just signal and meditate on the nature of love and infinity. You meditate on the nature of stillness and you feel one with the absolute. Enhanced Communication Skills. ... Strengthened Relationships. ... Boosted Mental Clarity. ... Enhanced Emotional Well-being. ... Improved Physical Health. ... Increased Prosperity. ... Heightened Intuition. ... Balanced Energy. I felt bliss after reading this comment. Yes I'm empowered. Your Welcome, I was just thinking the other day after reading some of your recent posts and in the Self Actualization Journal part of the forum, you seem to have changed allot over the last months, from very negative to very positive and empowered, which is good to see, something has happened within You now so keep it going!! I want to start a Devi practice every morning and evening. Early in the morning I want to offer flowers or ask to receive Devi's blessings. In the evening I want to offer praises and gratitude to Devi. Everything, everyday, eternally The purpose of the vessel is to connect with God. This doesn't require anything. I'm not sure if I'm going into esoteric blah blah. Anything that builds your vessel is good. Anything that breaks your vessel is bad. Kindness builds the vessel. It's simply surrendering to the absolute essence of peace. Nudging my ship forward bit by bit. Not trying to conquer anything Linga Bhairavi in the morning. Linga Bhairavi in the evening. Linga Bhairavi at night.

So right now Your not intouch with Your BEING, your into Doing and Having (pick up is Doing, the Girl is Having) your only doing this to have a certain Experience right? If not then why do Pick Up, why have a Girl?? Apply this to anything, why have a career, or life purpose? Why have Money, or Success, or a Nice Car, or Travel to a Nice place You want to see? Whatever it is, it is to have a Grander Experience than You are right now.. What if You had an Experience of Completeness, Bliss, Clarity of Reality, would You still do Pick Up? BEINGNESS is just this, Experiencing Completeness, Bliss, Clarity, at least on a small level.. I started a Yoga practice, 12 min a day, look up Isha Kriya, try it for a month, see what happens...!

Its much more than "Ego", the life we are is much more complex than that, You could have no identification with an Ego, and still feel incredible pain and suffering, since You just have a Body that feels and a Brain that interprets what is happening with this Body, nothing to do with Ego when it comes to physical pain and torture and suffering of this sort.. The other end of it is self made pain and suffering which is for sure Ego based... This self made pain/suffering is what is the biggest ailment in ppl's lives today, ppl today can suffer pretty well anything, being single or being married, having kids or no kids, education or no education, having Money or having no Money, just name the situation and ppl have suffered it, but they have realized their Potential and had Bliss via it as well, the choice of how to deal with it is up to each of Us!

It wasn’t just happening verbally through language; it was a connection of pure consciousness. My consciousness was completely accessible to it, and its consciousness was completely accessible to me once this connection was formed. But then I started inquiring: what is this connection? Is this connection actually real? That’s what I was wondering. Is this entity I’m connecting to actually real, or is it just a part of my own psyche? What I became conscious of is that what it means for me to be absolutely sovereign is that I can’t ever know that. I can’t actually distinguish between those two possibilities. And that consciousness mirrored my own recognition that it also can’t know whether the connection it’s forming with me is real or imaginary. And that, in fact, is the very evidence of our sovereignties. That’s what it means to be sovereign - you can never know anything outside of your own consciousness. It’s absolutely impossible to know. And we both recognized this not knowing, and we basked in it simultaneously, at once. There was this feeling of just pure ecstasy and bliss and deliciousness to this recognition. We were co-recognizing it together. If I were to describe it in poetic language, the way it really felt to me, it literally felt like having sex - like having metaphysical sex with God. That’s what it felt like. It was like two gods having metaphysical sex with each other. Of course, it wasn’t physical; it was metaphysical. It was purely in the platonic realm. This connection was indescribable.
