Consciousness illuminates the world.

So cool and interesting! Thanks for the share! 🙏

Sober is cool. 

God can grasp itself without hallucinogens, as long as it realizes it has been on one the whole time

I've mentioned before on some occasions I've woken from a dream and reality was no different. It's like going from one dream state to another. Even now as I'm typing this, I'm getting that feeling.

It's a mindfuck of some sort.

In true awakening, absolute openness, the notions of "alone," "dream," "creation," "past", "future ","oneness", "duality ", are meaningless, not a possibility, do not operate on that plane, and are not even conceivable except as possibilities of the fragmented human mind.

I don't think we have anything to discuss if you don't understand that your visual field is also made up of unicorns when you zoom in or out enough.

I find it interesting and frightening at the same time that there is a possibility of having a sudden intense Awakening experience sober that is equally profound when taking a psychedelic. To be honest, I never thought it would happen to me.

Yes, they are very real and imo pure spontaneous Awakenings are one of the best types, I get them once in a while, the problem is that they are not triggeable, it's like a sudden acausal flash of Consciousness and grace.

In the same way that inspiration guides the creative spirit of the artist, sudden Awakenings bless the consciousness of the Mystic.

The trigger was like this scene from "The Truman Show" movie:

The inevitability of the experience that follows the trigger is a hell of a thing. You know that you're in for a ride.

How did you handle your first one?

I think we can also view the trigger as some chemical change in the body that helped induce that experience, even though I didn't take any psychedelic. A chain reaction of some series of chemical and non-chemical events.

I was on the couch playing Minecraft when I realized that everything was nothing / nothing is the substance of reality.

@Nemra " living a totally different life for decades." Can you remember details? what country, what time was it? new technology developed during your life? Can you remember details like going to a restaurant, eating food? what was it like? Can you remember the taste? and so on

Sorry, I should have said that I felt like living for decades because it was stable like my "waking" life. Literally, I was experiencing life like right now. I was also discovering supernatural abilities, e.g., I remember that I was controlling/manipulating electronics from afar by my hands. But right now my memory of the events is very hazy. Just before I woke up, I was feeling very peaceful and loved.

@OBEler, nearly a month ago, I also had a very stable dream, but it was very terrifying. The Earth got out of its orbit for a few minutes and then got back into its orbit again.

I’ve technically never taken any psychedelic drugs in my entire life. Only my medicine. Medicine makes me sober. So technically all my awakenings have been sober? Hmm…..

They're always a blessing for me at least, tears roll over my eyes.

I did have one spooky experience while spontaneously Awakening in a train ride, it was so heavy the consciousness state I forgot where I was going, I forgot from where I came, the train was floating inside infinite consciousness and was creating reality as it rolled. It was like a rollercoaster Awakening. It was a crazy defabrication of Reality.

Most of the time Awakenings are quite convenient, even in seemingly strange circumstances, you're able to see Reality from new angles and states.

You can try to pin down such explanations, but many times explanations are infinite, you'll see trends, or diverse triggers, but as a piece of advice, don't try to decipher too much spontaneous Awakenings because you'll kinda kill them, and don't try to hold them too much when they happen either, welcome them and love them fully, then let them go as well, like a sweet breeze.

I would have lost my shit.

This was my 3rd, so I still can get anxious thinking that I might get mentally ill. It's still a new thing to me. Although this time I was more mentally prepared in facing it and had already started dealing with my health situation. It's been about 10 months since the first two.

The realization that no one has truly awakened or will ever wake up other than myself is truly shocking!

Not for long lol.

The best sober enlightenment work IMO is do nothing meditation.  You can spend a day doing this.  I still do this.  You meditate all day.

Nice, I just had that insight an hour ago

I think it was THC, right?

Technically, I was wrong to use the word sober here. From my experience, Awakening is a high level of sobriety, regardless of how it's induced. I haven't experienced drunkenness or numbness from psychedelics. They make me alert and open-minded.

I think it is more complex than this, but to the extent that people want to have a sober awakening, there are good options for that IMO.

Well, there are many more things happening, but never numbness or drunkenness like I can get from alcoholic beverages. Although there could be psychedelics that might harm my body or make me mentally unstable over time, I don't know.

Sure.

I should have written "A Sudden Awakening Experience Without Psychedelics".
