ZEN: Ten Ox Herding Pictures - Your map for awakening

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Many many posts on the forum regarding awakening.

Judging those on the path. Judging what we talk about as a 'measure if how awake you are'. 'Awake people wouldn't do this, or that, or whateverthefuck' 'Why ask this' 'Who is asking?'

Just stop. You are going the opposite way - union is the goal

If you have been doing the work for a time, you know it is a journey. You are the process.

This is a hugely underrated video from Leo (get ready for the old-school Zen-stick Leo). I personally revisit this one often. If anyone has glossed over this once or missed it entirely - or resisted it (You should look into that :P) I highly recommend it. Newbies, veterans, awakened... one of the images will resonate.

Enjoy:

It is like spiral dynamics for awakening? If that gets the juices flowing

One of the images will resonate hard

This is true, many people believe that Awakening will cause your personality to change and this is not the case. Now you could become a Robotic Non-Dual drone sure (that is a trap many fall into, I call it the trap of Neti Neti, they are still doing Neti Neti in all their conversations) but outside of that trap when you truly awaken you will be the same person you were before the only difference is your entire reality has become recontextualized both experientially because you are living in a constant state of Oneness and because you realize that everything is being done for you.

But hey don't take my word for it. Here are two people saying the same thing.

The ego is just an experiential veil that hides Oneness from itself and gives the illusion of being an individual in a separate world, instead of one unified experience with no center.

A useful model - not to be taken too seriously though, as it is still a model.
