I’ve had many awakening experiences induced by self inquiry. My question is-when is the fun part? Every time it happens, I just feel myself disappearing and it is rather frightening, as everyone I love disappears too and it feels like there is no one else in any of my loved ones bodies. I just don't like the solipsistic part of it. Any tips on how to get over this so I can go deeper and fully experience my awakening without fear? I always cut it off before it goes to deep.

Take a listen 🎶 A shared dream is real reality.

"I'm completely alone" is a thought. It's an egoic projection trying to make sense of the experience (or triggering the experience like a pointer). It's one possible projection out of many, but you usually don't get many at the same time because you can only project so much at a time, and you tend to get fixated on one at a time because of their seeming profoundness in describing the experience.

It wasn't like that.  It wasn't a concept.   The ego is what actually fights against it

Trust me I know…. I thought it would be more but it’s a void of loneliness

Awakening isn’t about bliss, it’s about no longer being enslaved by thoughts/emotions.

Fear is normal. It comes and goes.

Sometimes there’s peace, sometimes there’s emptiness, sometimes it’s just life being life.

And in the end, it feels ordinary.
