I have been having Glimpses of What Reality Actually Is: Imagination of the Absolute

[nexusoflife]

@Osaid I like that. I will remember that the next time if the fear comes up. Staying open to the beauty and Ultimate Love of The Truth is the most important thing I can do.

It's really just about focusing on what matters the most (the present). Fear is just the "otherness", and so, unreal.

@nexusoflife Working in the expansive side of consciousness really gives a nice dimension to the Awakenings, better done outdoors.

@Davino As you described the exercise I was actually thinking of doing it outside. If one of these Glimpses of The Absolute were to occur while I am outdoors it would make for the perfect Synchronicity!

I agree, we are built to want more in all areas of life, just when it comes to this Absolute stuff what is more than that?? 

I've never had that Grand of Experience as the OP states, but he did say it was glimpses, I've heard of that happening, like samadhi states, which are sort of Glimpses I guess... Tricky to navigate for sure when all You know is shaken to the bone, then what to do!!!

Samadhi states are limited. They are, let's say, movements of your energetic structure toward a different configuration. They feel like great revelations where the divine manifests, and unlike the human, which is vulgar, the divine is ineffable and pure. It's still the human psyche having an intuition of something greater.

Enlightenment is the breaking of the psyche, not the realization of something. Any realization that reality is a dream or something of a higher or divine level is psyche in any level. Maybe higher level but psyche. The difference between normal vibration and enlightened vibration is that one is inward, encapsulated in a self-referential bubble, and the other is outward, direct, unlimited, and ungrounded expansion. Unlimited is, period. That's it; there is nothing else because that is reality. It is the answer to all questions, and it is expansion, not contraction. Content is irrelevant; substance is everything, and substance is absence of limits. Enlightenment is not knowing, it is being without any barriers. It seems anticlimactic, but everything is there; nothing is missing. Anything that appears is an appearance, the point is what is made of. It's made of limitless, then in anything is everything.

@aurum I was actually thinking about doing a retreat for a few weeks or a month. But I don't want to go into it thinking that "I will raise my consciousness if I do this". All of these Glimpses of The Absolute have happened when I am just living my life. Cooking something, just sitting around, walking, etc. It's never been during meditation or intentional. In fact when I have meditated to cultivate such states it paradoxically pushes it away because to want anything is to create an illusory duality.

A retreat still seems enticing though because if I do fully and completely surrender and open myself to these glimpses of The Absolute; then like I said there may be a period of time where I am disoriented and and readjusting to a new way of being and having a calm and stable environment free of responsibilities while I readjust would be beneficial.

Yes, the main benefit to the retreat would just be to allow your mind some freedom. You may not have to do any intentional practice or techniques at all if these experiences are happening naturally for you.

Still be careful though. It sounds like you're in a good place, but you are going pretty deep.

Has anyone found a way to reproduce this? I have gotten this a couple times randomly throughout my life but but I can't reproduce it at will. ( it normally happens in the kitchen) 😅

I’m already planning my next major trip, so stay tuned 😏

Hell yeah T! Happy to see you making breakthroughs in consciousness work.

@aurum I've been thinking about the idea of doing a retreat all day today and have been searching for places to do so. The idea is really growing on me to make it a concrete experience. I think my mind would really benefit from creating a space for me to open myself to accepting awakening fully and flowing with the unfolding of the True Ultimate nature of existence. And of course I will take my time and allow this unfolding to occur in the way it needs to both for the stability of my psyche and for the sake of honesty in this work.

@integral The ego cannot reproduce it. Because to have a goal or want something is to create a demarcation, is to create a duality. And thusly the femtosecond your mind creates that duality you are immersed in delusion and illusion. The reason it typically happens in the kitchen or when you're doing something that doesn't require the mind too much is precisely because you're not attempting to make anything profound happen. Simply devote yourself completely to nonduality, make your whole life about it, be honest and your mind, your being will become fertile soil for Awakening to be realized.

@gleb Gleb?! What's up man! Thank you for reading my post. I appreciate your support. I hope you are doing well!

Awesome. Let us know how it goes!
