Yaaa... i mean if your going around arguing with people in your head, of course when that is lifted your going to free bandwidth in your mind.

Yes when you grow up there will be a significant difference in base line consciousness 

And part of that is mental stressors lifting, way of being improves and the other is the toxic mattress impairing sleep will cause you to argue with people in your head.

I understand you guys want to believe you experienced some superpower and it's a very romantic story that a Kundalini magical awakening happened, your chakras exploded and you're now Superman. That's all nice except its unholistic.

The reason you want to know the exact cause is so that you don't revert and then you know why the roller coaster is happening. 

Believing its all mental is unholistic thinking.

There should be no roller coaster. The roller-coaster is not a mental phenomenon. It's physical stressors on the body.

You will be back in a contracted mental state if stressors on your body return, and because your so focused on "its all in my head" you wont know why.

Hard work gets you vertical growth, but you will be constantly met with contraction from physical stressors.

I spent my young adult life chasing a wonderful opportunity. There was a real desperation and longing to achieve it. However, I lacked the consistency and some other skills to achieve it. And I watched that dream completely fall apart, and it really broke my heart. And my life kept falling more and more apart. Then I gradually picked up the skills I lacked before, one by one, and around a year ago I started on a very positive trajectory. And since then hope returned and a lot of the negative emotions reduced/ went away.

@Sincerity

But I asked three questions that perfectly narrowed in on what happened six months ago. But the ego wants to believe that "I" am the cause of my own change in development.

The ego wants to say... "ME" is the cause of MY growth, I grew myself up.

And this is how we are conditioned through society to believe how the whole thing works and you're thought you have to work hard and hard and hard and then you will grow yourself up.

And of course, you did put the work for all of this to be possible.

But it's not the whole story.

@Sincerity  @cetus 

Ive meditated for about 2k to 3k hours. And during that time conciousness inched its way up ever so lightly all through out those hours. 

But then I played Minecraft on the couch in my dorm room years ago and I suddenly recognized everything as nothing. And the self just completely dissolved. 

Your best bet is Minecraft at this point 

[Sincerity]

@JoshB So to confirm: was the shift in consciousness / dissolving of the self permanent?

God, I wish it happens here when something funny is happening. Like watching porn, or screaming at the top of my lungs with rage while on a walk, or laughing so much there’s no breath left, or witnessing something absurd like a child walking like a dog on a leash. That’d be sooooo gooood. 😝

Or maybe I have to get back into Minecraft lol. Thanks for the clue!

The self / ego is like an onion it has layers. Was it fully no self? No, and I would go as far to say you can realize the self is an illusion without fully disolving it.

There are degrees to dissolution. Once the ego is dissolved to a certain point you can tell where its heading. 

But It was permanent and from that day on I was no longer looking out of my eyes. 

Now im conscious enough to see through space and time to see this image happening in real time.

A realization can happen at any time under any circumstances. For you it just so happened to occur while playing Mind Craft. The timing was right.

For instance, I had the same realization once while pealing potatoes.

I was being Facetious, the practice was me untying my shoes. And me playing Minecraft was me tripping over. 

And im from idaho, land of the potato

The more conscious I become the more obvious it becomes that awakening is NOT a binary on or off switch.
