Alterego... I don't think absence of love is fear,because believe It or not,fear is a outgrowth of love,it's a form of love which doesn't look like love on the surface to many human consciousness. So ,let me explain using a imaginery case,imagine u are in love with your grandfather, it's magnificent love u have ,to u they mean your world and everything. Now,They went to Asia for 1 week trip,u haven't heard from them for 1 month,no information, feeling of fear will start to grow and come on surface within u,because u fear ,the fear to lose someone u love dearly, so that fear expresses your love for grandfather. So ,fear isn't absence of love,it's a different tone or vibration of love. All thoughts at the end of the day are thoughts, all opinions are simply makeup, they have no meaning, no matter how hard someone pushes u,it has no meaning,that's the beauty of living in a dream ,the mayonnaise of reality, eat it and enjoy the bliss and sensation of taste. Boom!

I think there are two things. On one there is a reality, even Though is a proyection of the ego, so there is not solipsism. You can Talk to other people and assume they are real. In other, i feel THAT is Still a limitation. Unitary reality/"Infinite Love", etc... Doesn't feel totally quite right. Because merging with all beings Still is limitation, there is that thing that IS over there and i am merging with. And also to merge with other beings or things, there must be a so called reality (even Though It might be quantic, imaginary, or whatever), so there is a subtle fear Still of something Bigger than you existing). The Next step feels Empty Bliss within Yourself. In that, there is no others, universe, other realities, povs, etc, you...etc absolutely nothing. IMO Empty Blissful Intense Silence feels better than merging with all beings. And it doesn't seem that you can have both things, you have to choose between a more limited experience but with more 'illusion' and a more unlimited experience but more 'empty' of whatever the mind has projected. It seems The more you clean the house the better it feels

Keep doing as mentioned below and in a process you will feel joyful, blissful and ultimately become enlightened and attain moksh Being purified by his intelligence and controlling the mind with determination giving up the objects of sense gratification being freed from attachment and hatred one who lives in a secluded place who eats little who controls his body mind and power of speech who is always in trance who is detached, free from false ego, false strength, false pride, lust, anger, and acceptance of material things, free from false proprietorship, and peaceful —such a person is certainly elevated to the highest position and remains in Bliss, Paramanand forever. Once you do above in totality, in a process you suddenly start feeling joy within which keeps growing for longer and longer time. From here everything happens automatically and you remain in Bliss.

Having a glimpse of pure bliss… then going back to the ego 🙀 https://youtu.be/HyJpF3wKHjg?si=ihQdM4ODSDdo43o7

Sadhguru is overly complicating the truth. Reality is imaginary. The grasshopper doesn't see reality the wrong way, the grasshopper lives in a grasshopper reality. A human doesn't see reality the wrong way, they live in the reality they constructed mentally. Since reality is imagination, however you choose to imagine either consciously or unconsciously that is your reality. And that's it. All these other constructed teachings are just going to get you lost in your mind and you will never awaken to Love, Truth, All is Mind, Pure Creativity, Etc. It's as simple as this. You are Nothing.....This Nothing is a Mind. This Mind imagines a human life, as it imagines things into existence it records what appears into memory. But it doesn't recall what it records perfectly so it can function in the present and get over things that it doesn't like. So it has a selective memory. This memory is termed the past. This Mind also makes predictions of what can happen next, this it terms the future. So in the present it can imagine a past and a future, and in the present it is also imagining. The same substance that makes up one thing is the same substance that makes up all things. You can raise your sensitivity to the subtlety all around you that first everything is nothing. This nothing feels empty, and absence of all qualia except presence. Then you can feel the fullness. This fullness has a bliss qualia to it, that bliss is what can be called love. Then you realize the full bliss qualia and the empty absence of qualia are the same thing. Then you become aware that nothing is intelligent. Then you later become aware that it is pure creativity. And there you have it. Your human mind is a smaller mind within Universal Mind. You clear out or hollow out your smaller mind of labels and biases so you can receive the flow of intelligence of Universal Mind. The more you hollow out your mind the more expansive your love, intelligence, and creativity is. This takes a concerted effort of mentally dissolving the dualities in your mind. A classic trap is separating duality from Non-Duality. Reality both has and doesn't have duality. To be all inclusive you must include both. You must be able to both see and not see duality. And that's it. Anything else is just a waste of time on the path. You will be running around in circles for decades. To resolve biases you have to activate the heart chakra, to resolve dualities you have to contemplate differences between a thing, if you become conscious of nothing and love, the differences will resolve themselves in the present moment. But the cool thing is reality can resolve the differences another way for example hot and cold are just differences in vibration that is the logical difference, the conscious difference is....Universal Mind imagines COLD, and HOT qualia....and thus an imagined difference is there and it is completely direct. That's it.

The only way to really beat Addictions is the make Yourself in a way where Your natural Bliss is more powerful than the feeling You get from the drug or whatever it is your Addicted to, the problem is your body and mind are wired to that thing.. So it takes allot of work to get that natural Bliss, but it is possible. Don't try to think or analyse your way out of it, just start some simple practices and lower your usage then go from there, replace natural bliss for the drug, but make it slow and steady! Good Luck:)

Thought art.. Thanks for answer... People on this forum talk alot about enlightenment but get triggered by this... That's the fun part...that so called enlightenment People are getting triggered by sex positive posts... Haahaa... After all reality is one big cosmic orgasm in and out.... The bliss of communion with self in totality is absolute sex...

I just want to know that my ultimate destination in existence is gonna be perfection..goodness..bliss . Not necessarily in a form of heaven.. eternal sleep or nothingness doesn't scare me .in fact its better than your wildest dreams of heaven . Leo says when you die you become infinite love. I hope so .and fuck all else.✋️

It’s important to use discernment when applying these types of concepts. Notice these two seemingly contradicting points Leo teaches: 1. Doing what is emotionally difficult is important for a good life 2. Follow your bliss … these are two, seemingly contradictory points, actually are one and the same. If you are destroying your passions and vision you are doing is wrong. If you are doing the emotional labour of creating things, getting experience and self actualizing I’d say that’s more idea. Being creative is emotionally difficult, being disciplined, being a visionary, creating a good life… this is difficult. A hammer should be used to build, but can also be used to injure and destroy. Ideas are the same way. Be careful! Both of these ideas are ideally oriented toward positively developing your life. If you are crushing your passion, love, creativity I to dust you are misapplying the idea of doing what is most emotionally difficult. You should follow your bliss, which may be the most difficult thing.

Sorry for the rant below, but i want to provide as much clarity and nuance as I can. So back in Feburary i had a peak experience on LSD, where it felt like there was a mass of tension in my head that was dissolved(for lack of a better term). I had done LSD before and never came close to this kind of experience. After the tension fully released, it felt like the top of my head literally opened up, and after that i felt a weird substance flow through my body. This led to the peak where i felt bliss flowing through my body, and surge of confidence, euphoria etc. Since then i've done a handful of trips, some of which i've gotten close to a similar release, but never quite to that degree. It's always the same pattern though, there's this tension in my head/face and the degree to which i can relieve it is the degree to which i break through into higher tier feeling and being. Even now while i'm sober(Not fully sober i'm on welbutrin (an amphetmaine anti-depressant that actually helps relieve the tension in my head a tiny amount), i can feel that same tension in my head, and when i meditate and breathe there is some kind of release, but nowhere near the point where i can fully release it and let it go. It also is related to my breathing, i've noticed for a while that i had some trouble breathing, and was constantly having sinus problems and nose bleeds. But when the tension release it feels like there's a mass of tension around my nose that is also released and my breathing clears up. I also noticed that I was able to more fully feel tension points in my body, and it was like I was more in tune and inside my body. I also noticed increase in coordination during these breakthrough trips (I'd say i'm mildy autistic given some coordination problems, and repetitive habits etc) So... a few concerns and thoughts I have on this situation are as follows: 1. I am chasing this peak or high, i've been doing this basically since the experience happened. I feel that same tension/pressure in my head while sober, and it feels like there is a block there. On the one hand it feels like i'm just chasing a high and this is just a dead end of self defeating behavior. On the other hand, there's clearly something to this knot and tension located in my head that is affecting me some major ways... it feels like my head is contracted( like much of my body) and for whatever reason the LSD opens the mind/head right up. 2. How do i resolve this conflict? On the one hand, i'm a drug addict chasing an LSD high. On the other hand, there's a contraction in my body (the head) and seeking a way to release the contract is a wise move. I'm a stiff person, i have a ton of tension in my shoulders, back, head etc but i wonder if the release of bliss and sort of astral body i get from releasing the knot in the head is normal? 3. The knot is also influenced by meditation and breathing. I've noticed that the few peak experiences I had, when i would breathe into the knot it would help loosen it up and facilitate the release. I've also noticed that when i used the zgochen technique of becoming aware of the experience of being aware, or turning attention towards it self, it has a big effect on the knot.

This is not guaranteed, upon physical death, Your state of Being in the moment will determine allot of how it is experienced in the beyond, in between time, if Your Blissful then You will be Blissful after physical death, if Your Fearful then that is what You may be feeling, and so on... You can practice how to be at the moment of death by being aware of the moment You fall asleep, and then added the experience of Bliss to it, then that will prepare you for the moment of physical death and beyond..

I often remember a glance of love that a yogi gave me in an ashram with a smile . He was in a state of bliss , and even though I was a total stranger to him, it did not prevent him from expressing his inner happiness in the form of a loving smile to me. It was really a very beautiful moment. In a place with high prana energy levels, it is natural to have smiles and loving glances at each other. The high prana levels automatically bring the mind to a nondual state. In eastern philosophy, nonduality is the true state as a unitary consciousness is considered to be behind the multiplicity and diversity of the material world, The more unconscious one is due to psychological issues or low prana levels, the more he or she is bound to be in a dualistic state due to fear, anxiety, stress and competitiveness. In such a society it is natural to be suspicious and not smile at strangers or even at known ones. People will say it is prudent to be skeptical, unsmiling and mistrustful, but it is a good gauge for the unconsciousness levels in that society.

Too many back and forths. Too many contradictions. Too many different ideas and concepts. Too many ebb and flows. Too many mixing of the Absolute and the Relative which causes confusion. We speak in both terms simultaneously and it becomes a loop. We speak dually and non-dually in the same sentences. We have turned it into a Religion. We are arguing amongst ourselves based on our own belief systems, not based on Truth. What is Truth. Truth is Absolute. That which is the case. What is relatively true for you might not be true for me and we can't see from another's perspective because that is what it means to be an individual. I'm not concerned anymore about Awakening and Enlightenment. I'm going to focus on understanding how the mind works, the quantum field, quantum mechanics, the Truth about who I AM and understanding the nature of Reality. Not if I'm awake or not, not if I'm enlightened or not. Not beliefs, concepts and ideas about Reality but it's substance. The Tree of Life. Sacred Geometry. Quantum entanglement. I may not know, nor will I know everything, nor do want to. I'm not even trying to find peace and happiness and joy and running away from mental pain and suffering, because all of that will be a by-product of understanding my true nature. Curiosity. Understanding and embodying is more enlightening than trying to become what I already am. So, figuring that out and learning about that is what I'm more focused on than if shit is imaginary or not, if I'm the only consciousness or not. I am a Spiritual being and it is what I'm in love with. I'm in love with all of existence. I'm in love with Reality. I'm in love with the Universe. I'm in love with love itself for Love's sake. Not for what it can bring or give me. I've passed the stage of trying to find anything. There is nothing lost. There is nothing "out there" to be found. I wouldn't have existed otherwise. I wouldn't have gone through my experiences if it wasn't meant to be. I didn't choose to come here to forget everything just to remember anything. There is no reason for me to exist other than for existence's sake. No me, no world. Why am I trying to Awaken so I can see the Truth of what I already am. Whatever that is. Why am I trying to become Enlightened. A rose doesn't try to become a rose. It just is. I will continue to do Spirituality because I enjoy it, not for some means of becoming Awakened or Enlightened. Just like I enjoy cooking. I don't have to cook, I can go out to eat, to sustain my body, but I do it for the enjoyment of creation. To create a meal. Just because I can. For the art of creating. I watch movies because I can. To see others' creations. So, to be clear, i will still enjoy this forum, I will still post and comment. I will still engage, but only for it's sake and take from it what I chose or not. Not to go back and forth on some Spiritual mumbo jumbo and asking questions about Awakening or Enlightenment because it is futile. I will continue to read whatever books I choose, watch whatever videos and podcasts I choose, for it's own sake and to get better understandings on subjects I choose to expand on and what interests me as an individual. I will also keep in the background running, that whatever I chose to engage in, that it doesn't change who I am existentially and will not allow any belief systems, ideologies, world views or identities I've chosen to become, to make me forget that. That will be my primary focus, to acknowledge the presence already within me and to live my life from that place and to recognize that I cannot be what I can observe and that I am none of it but what is unfolding and manifesting from within that presence. Experiencing bliss and joy is also an appearance that is temporary and my true nature is also the witness of those states. Every experience and temporary feelings and emotions are also being witnessed as is the experience of becoming Awakened and or Enlightened. All of it.

I've done these psilocybin truffles 3 times now over the past 6 weeks. They're 15 grams and I take the full dose. The ones I did yesterday are called "Utopia" by this company Royal Magic Truffles. These are the strongest ones I've done. Took them on an empty stomach at 9PM (woke up at 2PM), took them with some ginger tea with no sugar. Chewed them extensively for best effect. I was very happy during the come up, listening to music, doing some dishes. When the effects got stronger I took a long shower and lied in bed to watch some trip visuals on Youtube. After about an hour is when the trip really started. After trying to resist the fear I reached a point where the substance just took over and I had to stretch a lot and do all sorts of amazing twists with my body. For a short period of time I had a feeling of familiar bliss, everything was joy and pure orgasm. It's as if the joke elves / Jesters got me back in again. But this only lasted for a short while. Perhaps I got skeptical of the jesters or maybe the dose is too low to really take me in. If I had to guess I'd say this bliss didn't last longer than 20 minutes total. After that I went into a much more psychological trip. This psychological trip was interesting because it made some things clear to me like how deeply sexuality ties into childhood experience and how sex and power are related. So that was interesting, but I really longed for a deeper trip with more "wow". So my question: Was my dose too low? I feel my trip only lasted 30 minutes before it turned into a (not insignificant) brainstorm session Or is this simply what I needed in this moment? Because I deliberately asked some of these questions but it wasn't like me asking an entity, it was more like a brainstorm session Nonetheless pretty cool experience, just not really a trip. Oh final note: after about 5 hours I was done and made some food. That's when I realized I have all the riches I could possibly desire right here, right now. And I've been so busy with building income lately that was a pretty cool moment actually 😊 Edit 2: During previous trips on these I've had the same thing: very brief moments of "aha" but not a full trip that lasts long. Last time I had a direct experience or realization of what consciousness is during the come up of the trip, that was amazing! But after that it got psychological just like last time.

@Princess ArabiaWhen you are identified with ego the self gets lost in an illusion. When this bubble bursts you are always the same. I recently merged the final duality I had. Of the Self and the world. Also I believe Its the same self in every one of us. But Hindus knew that for a long time. I have zero effort in my experience. Like everything is just alive. And to move feels alive to me. That's why I move I feel so much bliss. Like our natural state is that. To exist is enough. Being itself Is blissful.

Life is a gift for you. You don't even have a body, meanwhile you do called live in billions of cells. 🧬 Feel bliss and LOVE.

I did not say other's care. What I say is that there is a construct of some kind of "politeness" that I should not bliss out in public because some "serious grown up" may not like it. I did not say need or should. I said if you want to bliss out and smile then do it. If you don't then don't.

There is this weird social construct that If I am happy I should not show this too much because someone who is sad could be bothered by this, so let's all just tune down our happiness and live in a fucking meek society. It's a ridiculous deep program. Fuck it. Bliss out in public. Smile to everyone if you feel like it. Culture of Bliss babee.

He's referring to it in the context of insight, which is what I am referring to as "a waste of time" in this thread. There is no denying that meditating can give me peacefulness, but truth and bliss aren't the same thing.

You get 3 primary things, immortality, super knowledge and perpetual bliss. But when I say bliss it's meant to be the most incomprehensible weight of bliss possible. Bliss beyond your wildest notions. Plus you get to literally become God it's pretty much the only thing that has any point when you start to see little glimpses

Awakening is just Desire coming to full possibility.. No matter what someone says to You, Desire is always present in Life, in basic terms it means You want to be a Little More than what You are Now, you read a post, feel a need to respond that is desire, you set a goal, achieve it, then set another goal that is desire, the need to be a little more than what You are right now.. Awakening and eventually having Enlightened Experience as an everyday Awareness/Realization is the Ultimate Expression of Desire, as now You are Truly Free or as Free as You can be while Embodied! Enlightenment is only possible for Embodied Beings Like Humans are, if no individuality is present then there is no possible way to be Enlightened... You Have a Body, You have a Mind, to use while here on this dual material Planet, but can rise above it all and experience Oneness, Completeness, Clarity, Bliss, and make life a game of sorts, going thru all one can go thru but still be Untouched by it..In Yoga the goal is Union and Transparency, Your Totally Involved with whatever is happening but untouched by it as Your naturally Blissful and at One with everything...

0 = ∞ This is the equation physicists look for that describes all of reality. When two polar opposites are identical there is oneness. Why is this equation correct? Because you cannot count to infinity. By the same token you cannot have more and more forms to reach infinity. So infinity has no form. It is not just a large number. Its not a number at all. Zero as well has no form. And its actually not a number. You cant count with zero. A good analogy to this identity is : Being nowhere is like being everywhere. The sin that got us out of heaven is eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and bad. I see it as the beginning of polarity. Heaven is not a place you go. Its seeing the world without polarity. I'm saying this from first hand experience. I'm in heaven most of the day. The most significant polarity we have is: Me versus The world. When this two merge and there is no experiencer-experienced there is just luminous bliss. This dose not contradict enlightenment since your true self has no polar opposite. This is all ill say about the true self since describing it with words is like counting to infinity. I'm not joking when I say its the equation that physicists look for. The only way something can manifest in reality is by pair of opposites which come into existence and after some time merge together again. That's the way something can come out of nowhere. It is even confirmed by physics. They say all the empty space is full of pairs of opposites which come into existence for a short time and merge again. That's how it was discovered that black holes emit radiation. And that with the big band an equal amount of matter and anti-matter was created. So you can both say reality is infinite or that it is completely empty. Again its something I've experienced yesterday actually by contemplating this equation. So I highly recommend that you contemplate on this equation. As it was gave me amazing experiential results.

@Creatorbeing @Breakingthewall The problem is that most people do not want, do not have the time, or strength to get to the bottom of ancient teachings, they only accept, often short, erroneous interpretations of these messages, taken out of a broad context. The shortcuts are the current signum temporis. Everything has to be done immediately, right now because impatient modern man is spinning around his own tail like shit in an ice hole. The axis of Vedic teaching is the same as that of Plato and Christianity. Reality is tripartite with vertical causality. Vedic cosmology: Sat - Being, Chit - Consciousness, Ananda - Bliss. Plato's cosmology: Corpus - Body / Material World, Anima - Mental World / Consciousness, Spiritus - Spirit / Superconsciousness. Christian cosmology: Man of God, Holy Spirit, God the Father. Let's leave the nomenclature aside. The concepts are almost identical and represent aspects of reality contained in Bliss/Super Consciousness/God in the manner of a Russian matryoshka. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Moreover, it is enough to operate more from the level of the heart than from the mind and the view immediately becomes clearer.

@Creatorbeing There's two fundamental forces at play for us Humans, the force of Self Preservation, of building walls around us physically and mentally, self protection, survival instinct and such things, then there is the force of Boundlessness, to be absolutely Free, Open and Alive.. The 1st force is born into us, we just have to learn the rules of the world/society we are living in, procreation is a part of this... The 2nd force has to be strived for, sooner or later via the Desiring process (gain a goal what happens? Another goal is made and if that is achieved what happens? Another goal and on and on it goes) You will get bored of the way things are right now, you want to be more than what You are right now, unless Your in a war like environment where everyday its about survival.. Desire is the same as Life, its not about wanting more, its about having it all, being totally Free and Complete, Boundless in nature and experience, this is Enlightenment, when touching this dimension while still embodied you feel Great Bliss.. With all this we need to Accept what is as it is right not, this stops the Stress Response I think, but just b/c you accept doesn't mean You want things to be this way, acceptance just allows flow and ease to come into Your Life, just imagine no stress response, what would this do for You? It will bring You into Peaceful Experience as a natural consequence, then now the foundation becomes stable, and You can go for more possibility and potential/intensity in life experience (not talking about gaining more $$, fame, wealth, status or success)..

Well a sort of consciousness, or karma awareness of sort still goes on, its in the energy, etheric and bliss bodies which encapsulates the Life that is within You, the karmic substance is the glue per say that keeps it all together, this is technical i know, but that is what is going on. Your Karma is stored on many levels, without it physicality is not possible, so that is always with You until you dissolve it, that is part of the process of Enlightenment, you have dissolved it, which is why most ppl that reach Enlightened states no longer exist in that moment of realization, they dissolved their karma and the body drops, the life merges with Oneness and no more individuality, unless Your a Guru and have a mastery over all this stuff...
