Posted March 22 (edited) After going deep on spirituality and self-actualization, how do you relate to people, reality, mind, society? What is your baseline consciousness? What it looks like to be you as a normal human being? I am curious because baseline consciousness is where you really see if your development is happening. Do you see reality as a physical thing? Do you see other people as separate? Edited March 22 by CARDOZZO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22 There are two ways to live. Look at every tree and say I know everything about this that could possibly be known. Or every moment say I am willing to have the meaning revealed. This is the only worthwhile epistemology - leading naturally to the fullness of consciousness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When a barista is giving your coffee, how do you experience it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22 Sometimes I feel like a fraud. I study deep topics, read, watch videos, study, contemplate. The experience of life looks like physical, rigid, normal, boring. Is it how you live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. I experience reality as a physical thing, where people are separate and have their own inner worlds. Nothing fantastical, imaginary, lovy, mystical. I know I shouldn't turn this into an ideal but I am really curious what it is to experience life as a Construct-Aware/Turquoise Individual. Is it really fantastical, different, mystical 24/7?

Posted March 22 (edited) How do you embody your spiritual insights? How do you live life as a Sage? What is your perceptive experience as a Awakened God-Realized Individual? Try to be clear and specific with your language. How do you see? What do you feel? What are your mental models? How do you relate? Where is your POV? Above your head? Inside your head?

No it is completely ordinary. Our default is to make everything separate and scary. We need to decide to drop this any time we can remember. This opens us up to what is real. Eventually it can be the default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't what you see; it is how you see. What you see does not change. You decide to see it right. And then all you see is light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you came to a thread to just spread vague words when I tell you to be specific, you are not serious about your communication and interaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
