What after Self Realization?

@Dario1995 You will come on top eventually, it's the flowering of your Spirit/Consciousness it might look or feel ugly at first, but you will bloom.

@inFlow Took a 4km walk after that "burning" feeling, felt reborn! Thanks

By realizing your ordinary life, the mundane boring act of the daily grind is none other than God. Any resistance to living your life is still ego, attachment. 

What comes after realization is the embodiment and purification of Self Realization. This is why daily practice like meditation is still so important. Giving yourself the space, time, and practice to let the insight penetrate the deepest levels of mind and continue to unfold. This is why we meditate, not necessary to get some bigger insight, but to let the awakening start to shape and mold the mind, to let the awakening slowly burn away selfishness and egotism. 

While the whole idea of "there's nothing to do, no path to walk" is technically correct, it's a rather shallow, immature understanding of spirituality. Let the awakening transform you. Let the awakening deepen. Let the awakening you feel during peak psychedelic trips and deep meditative states merge into the mundane. Let the awakening shine light into every corner of the mind until even the daily grind of wage slavery is seen as none other than the perfect expression of God. Let the awakening light a fire for your most authentic individuality to fully and completely express itself, and then transcend wage slavery altogether as you walk the relative path of Self Actualization. Or something like that haha.

Anyways, as the zen saying goes "Before enlightenment, chop wood carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood carry water." Just don't be afraid to upgrade the axe. 

You’ve put this awesomely. 
 
Whats left? 
 

Live and truly enjoying life! It really is that simple. You’re not happy & understanding the truth of your own being, go express that love and happiness you feel in all areas of your life! 
 

It only gets better from here

If you still think there is a "should" or a one right way or another that you gotta or can install to direct the river of life.. You haven't Self-realized yet.  If you are realized you would know it's all just happening spontaneously. There is no secret forumla or magical teaching to how you should live your life or how things should go.  Things just go.  Before Self-realization you are under the illusion that you are driving the boat.. After Self-realization you realize that you are just laying on a piece of wood floating on the middle of a fast river.  To go with the flow is still a teaching that implies a duality. There is no other possibility than to go with the flow.  After Self-realization there is no action step. It just can't be explained. You become one with everything and merge with the happening of life without interference or trying to impose your own ideas of what should happen and what should not.

Before Self-realization there is life and a question about what to do in life.

After Self-realization there is just life.
