Maintaining Self Actulization

[IVONNE]

I know that there is ups and downs in this life. But how do you keep maintaining this firmness and stillness and awareness and consciousness in every part of my life? how do you do it. because i found out that the society wants everyone to think feel and see in the same way. which is soooo annoying! but once your different your somehow hit on the head. i know you must believe in yourself. but then i feel like im missing something. but when i do look back, im like DAM "im in a higher position"and i believe that there is consequences in whatever you do or try. have you ever felt this before? Id like to have your genuine help, thanks

There are two parts to you, first is the identity that you think you are and what you have given your energy to all your life, then there is the part of you that cannot be seen, it is the source of life for the body, it is consciousness.  Most become disassociated from their consciousness living life in the physical and creating the identity and enjoy the desires of the physical body with the ego.  Most function purely from the identity when in reality they are functioning as an unconscious human being.  There is another state of being that you can function from and it is that real part of yourself, as a being of consciousness.  In the beginning of experiencing your consciousness on a deeper level, it requires some effort until you are accustomed to functioning from consciousness rather than the identity, but at a point it will feel more like your real home than the identity.  As consciousness, there is no pain, no sorrow, no problems, on journeys, no paths, no levels, no objectives, nothing to seek, nothing to find, its about a state of being.  It is possible to spend a great deal of time in that space, it provides freedom from the insanity of this world, and brings peace, joy, and happiness, and an understanding of who and what you really are and more about the realities involving your existence here.  As you become accustomed to spends a good deal of time in this space you will be able to go about your daily life and do what there is for you to do and still be able to maintain this state of being.  You will shift back and forth between these two states a lot on the beginning but as time passes and the more time you spend as the being of consciousness that you are, it becomes easier and easier to maintain that state of being, and there will be times that you allow yourself to function as the identity but it will be under the watchful eye of the self, and you can instantly shift from functioning as the identity back to the being of consciousness that you truly are.  This is something that cannot be rationalized, it must be experienced in order to understand it completely.  In trying to convey this experience to others it requires using words, and language that others can understand and that isnt always easy, because it cant be completely understood until after you experience it.

If you want to move toward self realization you need to turn toward consciousness and be in that space of being with it.  You can sit quietly and still, and just experience that life force within you for a period of time, forget about practices and meditations, they are not necessary and will be a hindrance,  just be still and quiet and enjoy the space of your own consciousness, it can help to practice being in the present moment in a conscious state of present awareness, be patient and continue.  This is all you need to do to find your true state of being.  This is not an opinion, not the words of other people, not someone else's book, this is actual experienced that has worked for me.  If you can grasp this and work with it, your life will change and you will move toward self realization faster.  There comes a time in this process when you have to stop seeking opinions of people who don't have the experience and if possible trust one or two that has the living experience that can point you in the right direction. If you listen to Leo's vids, he is constantly showing you what self realization is not, which means a great deal because if you are honest with yourself, you can measure yourself by the gauge he is setting far as your progress.  Then use the process i gave you here to enable your transition from the physical to the being of consciousness in a more complete way.   I hope this speaks to your consciousness in a way that it will help you grow.
