Awakening Makes me Sad

20 posts in this topic

Sometimes after a strong trip, i begin feeling sad because my ego wants to control God but it can't. And it doesn't want to accept Reality as it is. It prefers Reality was some other fanstastical way where i had more control as God.

Even though i know that Reality is already perfect and couldn't be any better, i am still biased against many things and would prefer them otherwise.

I don't know why realising God is so painful for the ego at times..... It matures over time though, your taste begins to change.

If awakening makes you sad, what is meant by awakening? 

 

Realisation that i am dead, that i don't exist. Realising that i am 'inside' a mysterious dream that i don't control..

You sure those aren't just thoughts and not what's actually happening ?

I am sure about the mysterious aspect of Reality and the lack of control.

If you’re dead, who’s realizing, who’s inside, who’s sad, who’s ego, who doesn’t control?

Nobody is sad. There isn't any entity inside me that is sad. But the thoughts create suffering and very difficult emotions.

If you think you have zero control, what's the point of the sadness then ?

Indeed some thoughts don’t resonate. But the discord or suffering is of the thoughts, and not awakening. Not saying this to be the awakening police, but because the belief awakening makes one sad isn’t true and is the discordant thoughts. Wether about the ego, the one with the ego, God, etc. That’s a call for inquiry, meditation and or inspection if anything, but it is not awakening. That’s the good news.

Awakening puts the ego on high alert. Enlightenment unravels it entirely. The closer you get to enlightenment, the less of you there is to be enlightened, until there is only light, which is who you actually are.


Just because God loves you doesn't mean it is going to shape the cosmos to suit you. God loves you so much that it will shape you to suit the cosmos.

@Nahm after meditation I cried today. I don’t understand the feeling of sadness either.
Tried to inspect, only one thought came into mind: existential loneliness. felt so pity for my little ego trying to find Truth since it remembers itself ?.
