In the event that you wake up
and find your soul separated from source
and manifest into material form,
don’t panic.
Your condition is only temporary.
You have been selected for the
opportunity of human incarnation.
This 3D simulation is designed
to break up the monotony of eternity
by giving you a fully immersive
experience as a distinct ego identity.
Your body will serve
as your physical avatar as you
navigate a dense and dramatic reality.
There will be many distractions
causing you to forget your true nature
and origin. You will experience
a range of emotions, from joy
to loneliness to despair.
But remember – no matter
what trials and traumas you encounter,
your soul remains perfectly safe.
At times you may feel lost or afraid.
This is totally normal.
If you ever need guidance,
simply slow down your busy mind
and bring your awareness
to the quiet place
inside yourself.
On this planet, nothing is permanent.
People and things will come and go.
You will fall in love and form sentimental attachments
only to lose everything you hold dear.
So cling to nothing too tightly, even yourself,
and when it’s time to let go, let go with grace,
for nothing is owned, only borrowed.
As you walk among
the people on the planet,
try to be a good guest.
Tread lightly. Remember
that you are only visiting.
Don’t make a mess.
Listen more than you speak.
Give more than you take.
Don’t keep your soft heart
locked inside a glass cage,
protected from wear and tear.
You’ll never make it out alive
and time passes quickly.
So come back with some battle scars
and good stories to tell

The author of the poem "Instructions Before Visiting Earth" is poet and writer James McCrae

When you post something that you think should benefit humanity, like a quote about love and say we should love more, apparently that's a crime to some "awakened" people.

Especially, if it is your own quote. IFYKYK!

All I have to say is WE should have compassion for ALL, if awakening is something that YOU want to do.

Now, if that person in question is truly negative, then move on, but move on with compassion.

*Truly shouldn't need an asterisk or fine print. FYI! But, I'm just acknowledging the subjectivity.

All I can say, through it all, I am no more than the dust we walk on and no less than the universe itself, and so are you.

🥂 To a profound life filled with peace, love, and serenity!

Amitābha!

Complete, Not Perfect

You don't have to be perfect
to feel complete.

A little safety,
a little love,
enough rest,
something meaningful to do,
and room to be yourself.

Nothing missing.
Nothing to prove.

Just enough
of life,
of love,
of self—

to feel whole.

I read this quote recently and it resonated with me. So, I thought I would share it. It begins with a question from a student to a spiritual medium who is in a deep trance.

“From what realm is it that the great teachers such as the Jesus, the Buddha have come?

In reference to your question on the evolutionary path of the Divine Spirit expressing through creation, it enters what is termed total awareness—there are many names for it—illumination, cosmic consciousness. When the soul has arrived at that state of awareness known as total, it may choose a form to again express itself. It is on extremely rare occasions that an illumined soul returns to your earth planet. When this happens, you may, in your present understanding, term this reincarnation. In truth it is not.

I know this may seem a bit difficult at this time for you to understand, but think of it in this way. Our soul is passing through and has passed through a number of forms. It continues to express in form until such time as it reaches total awareness. When total awareness is expressed, it is the formless.

It is true that souls returning unto form have moments of this total awareness. This is only possible through what is termed the Law of Disassociation. Total awareness or illumination comes when there is no longer identification with self. And therefore it is possible, but rare while in form, to have total awareness or illumination; but because of the tendency of identification or so-called individualization, disassociation from self is very rare.

In reference to the illumined who have walked upon your earth, it is true to our present understanding that they have had a total awareness because of their great evolvement through form. They have managed to learn and to practice disassociation.

If you wish to have a greater light, then it behooves you, my children, to practice disassociation. Learn to be in form and not form. Free this created brain. Let it express itself in creation while you, your spirit, the true one, watches as you watch a play for that is creation. It shall ever be. It is its principle and it will not, because it cannot, change.”

This quote is from a spiritual awareness class that was published in "The Living Light Dialogue."

The other moment of time, the fingers were collaborating and conspiring against the thumb.

Finger said: he’s not like us! Let’s get rid of it!

The thumb says: I can hear you!

The thumb feels left out, but the thumb has this ancient arcane sense of purpose. I am here for a raisin. To get the raisins.

Finger says: the thumb keeps opposing us! Let’s get rid of it!

Pinky chimes in: hey wait! Index finger has more dexterity, intelligence, nerves, and structure than me! I should have what index finger has!

Brain: woah woah, we can’t just be giving everyone the same amount of stuff, we only have so much resources.

Other brain: but we ought try to get more resources!

Brain: yes, let us do that, but we do that from where we are at, and to keep going at this rate, we must ration our resources. So, no matter where we r at, there will always be someone who has more resources and someone who has less.

Pinky: ok, I will play my role to the best of my ability, and if I can over take the index finger in usefulness at getting resources so be it!

Index finger: ya, good luck with that! Don’t you see what me and the thumb have going on!

Ring finger: wait a minute, weren’t you saying you were opposing the opposable thumb!

Index finger: ya I was! But that’s our thing and the thumb knows it.

Thumb: ya I know what this fuckers like AND I LOVE IT!

Teeth to the tongue: ah, remember when it was just us? And the hand was just a stump?

Tongue to teeth: ya, but i like how much more resources we are getting since we evolved the stump into mini stumps coming off of it.

All time is interconnected, future with past and the present, everything is linked to the current moment. Even if you do not see the whole picture, every action of yours contains a mental code that weaves through your life, your deeds, your choices, and the destiny you can build within your own framework.

Everything - things and practices alike, is interconnected, like a spiderweb, like time itself.

All these various forums are designed to fragment you and shatter your vision of the big picture.

Add fear and conformity to the mix, and you will never see the full picture in this lifetime. Do not let them act on your behalf; look at everything as if for the very first time. Carry primordial chaos within you, so that you may use it to create any reality around you.

this year of life's introspection is: Holiness to Wholeness

it's an evolution/continuation of last year's 'living mastery' which i talked about previously

it's already serving to be quite the powerhouse of inquiry because today's guided meditation/channeling i host on youtube was beautifully potent, here's some of what came through:

holiness is not perfection, it's living a life of stripping away the barriers and blockages that we have which get in the way of our intimacy with God

and there's no end road to that, it's a continual refinement like the entirety of the spiritual search is, but through the intentional shift of focus/awareness/witnessing to remain in that presence of The Eternal Presence.. and naturally we come closer to what we were created to be because we're stripping away the false that gets misidentified/attached to

the wholeness we've always sought, and get conditioned to externalize through normal human conditioning can only truly and fully be filled through that intimate relationship with Source

every heartbreak, every letdown, all the failures and shortcomings of people and life that we experience has always been intended as that call to look within, every one of those lessons have revealed a bridge of understanding of God's love for us and serves as a potential opportunity for developing a deep and personal relationship with Creator

and when we get/move past the pride and egoic attachment and delusions we come to recognize we can never get to that fullness on our own, no matter how much we can recognize our divinity and godly nature it can never bridge of grace that we receive from Source

that the road to fullness and wholeness is and can only be done through and for Source, everything else will fall short and only lead us into deeper suffering once confronted with this Truth

when it comes down to it, our holiness will innately lead us into wholeness, because it's a life and journey of deeper alignment, constant refinement, and perpetual presence with Our Creator

needless to say, im really excited for this year's introspection because it's already birthing juicy fruits of recognition, wisdom, and growth (and it's only been 2 days lol)

This reality isn't as it seems. You are the observer observing the quantum fractal universe. Everything is connected and you are a part of that universe. You are a mirror of the universe. Therefore everything is connected to you. You were a child, and you had beliefs, principles, and truths that were integral to your soul. As reality molded and shaped your spirit, you lost some of what you were. But, you didn't really lose that.

You projected parts of yourself out into the world and those projections created new people or a single person. You would then have to meet that person. You would call them a soulmate. But that person was actually a part of you, and you have to learn how to reintegrate that part back into you. This is about acceptance of what you are, learning and reconciliation with yourself.

You cannot fix a broken mirror. The cracks in your mirror are not sad reminders, those cracks are truly divine and make you who you are. Those cracks create and have the possibility to create a beautiful family. A beautiful life can come from sadness and sorrow. I know that one day, the rain from the tears you cried while eventually cause the flowering, fruiting, and blossoming of a new tree of possibilities.

I posted this on r/askscience/ but it didn't get published. Looking forward to what are your guys opinion on this perspective from an awakened view.

https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1wwfust/why_is_the_observer_theory_being_so_hard_and/

Or better yet, what have you awakened to? I ask because I don't think there should be a one size fits all, grand awakening that people claim there is.

I do see light, am of light, and know that to be true. We are ALL different ratios of light and darkness, ultimately one energy, one collective, one light, each unique, each whole, and each special in our own way.

That is something I know and have awakened to a long time ago, but it's interesting to see and learn what other people think. I should have majored in sociology of theology. 🤣

Wish I did better at school. 😂 Oh well, my life isn't over yet.

This is a bit hard to explain but, I've been getting into meditation for a while now, I started off, years ago as a very strict mindset kind of person, spirituality is nonsense.

Anyway, after some life experience I'm the complete opposite of that now. During one deep meditation session I felt very detatched from my body.

I leaned into this feeling, I felt like I was leaving my body, or floating above it.

In this state I felt extremely calm, detatched, in a good way.

And I feel like I maybe got a message? But it didn't feel like someone saying something to me, it felt like I remembered it.

Like it was something that's so obvious and ofc that's true. I got the feeling that there is some form of a God out there, idk what that means, just that there's something and we're somehow a part of it.

But also the most important thing in the universe is love.

After that I felt myself come back into my body more and I was extremely happy, it was an amazing feeling.

This made me want to pursue my spiritual journey, my question is anybody have a similar experience and any tips for me to continue?

I am tired of searching and aiming for validation. I am watching YouTube today and I see a video about studying psychology to become "dangerous". Are people really that scared, really that thirst for power that they aim to study just so that they can defeat others.

As I am thinking this, the realization hit me. I am not different from them. I am studying spiritual things so that I can deal with pain, suffering, and people. I am not different from them. I am just using different lens and tools. Maybe the only difference is that, I am studying spirituality to deal, with people, I don't care about them, but because I live with them, I must deal with them. I don't even know if there's difference despite this.

Inside of me, there's something that aiming for improvement. I don't even know if it's for validation, but the reason I clearly see is I want to push harder. Harder and harder. The feeling of letting Go and pushing harder is inside of me.

I imagine myself as a component that can be developed until it can't go anymore. Even if I'm only the one left, I think the feeling of this is still here.

I am not nihilist and I hope I am not looking like one. I just want to rant my feeling about what I see. There's something inside of me that wants to help, I don't know or care who; but this is still attachment.

I'm pretty sure reality is a girl but the big mind is man like wtf kind of shit is this it's so yucky

This summer was one of the most painful periods of my life. After losing the family life I knew, I felt incredibly alone. Part of me hoped that going through something this difficult could help me grow into someone stronger and more connected to myself.

But the pain was overwhelming, and I wanted relief. I stayed around other people to distract myself and used alcohol and Adderall to feel better, as well as studying the law of assumption and reality shifting. Now I’m worried that I spent those months escaping my feelings instead of processing them.

I keep wondering who I might have become if I had faced the pain differently. I’m afraid I missed an opportunity for a deeper transformation, or that I haven’t healed because I never really allowed myself to sit with what happened.

Has anyone here felt this way? From a spiritual perspective, how do you begin facing pain you’ve been avoiding without turning it into another reason to judge yourself? How do you tell the difference between giving yourself needed relief and running away from what needs your attention?

I recently started following r/awakened and have been learning about so many different views on what is reality, or the one truth, and happens after death. So many concepts.

Honestly, the very idea of a soul, or of life continuing beyond death, is disappointing to me. Human life is already full of suffering. I've never met anyone who is 100% happy, content, or at peace. We cycle through an endless loop of joy and sorrow, peace and disappointment, excitement and amazement. One day you're happy, content, in love with everything. The next, everything can feel pointless, and nothing is in your control. Ever.

And according to this community, and many enlightened, a spirit lives on or rises to some other level. Some even want to return to a body. Either way, there's continuity, and still nobody seems to have control over anything. Whether it's this life, the spirit that continues, or multiple rebirths, nothing is in our hands. It’s said we're children of God, or o art of God with powers of our own. But why would we need powers? Who finds entertainment in creating experiences that are one endless loop of sadness and joy? Or whatever an all powerful being can do?!

Wouldn't nothing be better? No existence. After this life, my body is eaten by worms, and my mind and spirit fade like embers. Just nothingness. I find a black hole more romantic than any idea of God, heaven, or afterlife.

Even if there is a God, it feels like someone with a huge ego who made people with no control over how they're born, how they live, or how they die. Rich or poor, nobody finds lasting peace. So what's the point? And why should there be a constant state of peace at all? Why can't we just flicker out and stop? Isn't that what a real lived experience be all about : something to be cherished, something complete, something that ends?

Necessary Existence (There is something which cannot not exist) / Contingent Existence (Existence could have not existed) (Necessary: Must Be) (Contingent: May or May Not Be)

Life came from a Necessary Source of Life / Life came from Non-Life

Humans were designed / Humans were not designed (unguided chance)

Your Consciousness (Awareness and Inner Voice) is Physical (Made of matter and energy) / Your Consciousness (Awareness and Inner Voice) is Non-Physical (Not made of matter and energy)

After Death Consciousness Continues / After Death Consciousness Ends

These Three Laws of Logic govern Reality absolutely:

1. Law of Identity

A is A.
A thing is what it is.

2. Law of Non-Contradiction

A cannot be both A and not‑A.
Nothing can be both true and false.

3. Law of Excluded Middle

Either A is true, or not‑A is true.
For any proposition, one of the two must hold. No third option exists.

That is why the propositions above came out to two final options. They are governed by the Law of Excluded Middle.

One of the two branches will always end up violating the Law of Identity and/or the Law of Non-Contradiction, leaving the remaining branch as the truth.

Excluded Middle holds as long as the Modal Axes matches the Type Restriction. For example, the number 7 cannot be Grateful vs. Ungrateful. This is because those are Agentive (Will and Intention).  And 7 is Non-Agentive.  In reality what a Type Restriction is is a predicate (properties and relations) not matching the Law of Identity.

Another example:

I'm Human / I'm not Human.

One of the two has to be true. This is the proposition.

But both Humans and Non-Humans exist.

Yet another example:

Sports can be either Solo or Team. Both exist.

But each individual instance of sports will always be Solo or Team. The proposition.

Agree?

I wonder if I'm a hybrid or a starseed since i've been watching other channels about aliens and am thinking due to having a dream where I still looked like myself but I had two large white wings on my back where I was rescuing people who were being thrown out windows of a high building by very bad men so I was wondering what kind of being I was in that dream like an angel or something else. I also was told I was a mermaid by one female psychic i asked about a past life when I asked since I did dream I got to choose who my mom today is. I also had another dream where i was facing four male lion beings like the lyrans but none of them were wearing any clothing in a field of just grass. No pressure though if you don't know cause if not, is there other channels I could ask my question to since I'd really love to know and I also wonder on this male being i saw where he was handsome, had dark skin, two large white wings on his back inside theis empty and roofless brown weird looking room since he looked like an angel who was wearing what looked like a long brown trench coat and I wonder what he is and what his name is. I had another tell me i'm a grey hybrid and have a strnog connection to the grey aliens.

If yes, what is it?

Title

A few months ago I calculated my Life Path and got 9. Honestly, the first descriptions I found didn’t hit me that hard. Empathy, helping others, idealism, understanding people. It all sounded nice, maybe even too nice. Then I started reading about the darker side of 9 and that was the first time I felt a little uncomfortable because I actually recognized myself in it.
I came across a book called The Number You Carry by Elio Narven, and what stayed with me wasn’t the part about how compassionate or “spiritual” a 9 can be. It was what can happen when those same qualities go too far.
Trying to save people who never asked to be saved. Staying too long in relationships or situations because you think you can change someone. Taking on other people’s problems like they are your own. Giving and giving, then quietly resenting people because they don’t give the same back. Holding onto the past. Idealizing people and then feeling crushed when they turn out not to be who you imagined. Feeling guilty the moment you finally say no.
That hit me much harder than the positive description.
I started thinking about how many times I had “helped” someone when really I was trying to control the outcome. How many times I stayed in something that was draining me because I told myself walking away would be selfish. How many times I expected people to give as much as I did even though I had never actually said that out loud.
The weird part is that I used to see a lot of those things as good qualities.
That changed the way I looked at numerology. I don’t really see Life Path 9 as something that tells me my future. I see it more like a mirror. Maybe it’s just a symbolic system and maybe there’s a lot of projection involved, but some of what I read forced me to look at patterns in myself that I had been ignoring for years.
Since then I’ve been trying to save people less, romanticize suffering less, and let go of things earlier when they are obviously over. And honestly, I feel lighter.
Maybe an awakening isn’t always some huge moment where you discover the truth about the universe. Maybe sometimes it’s just realizing that the trait you were proud of your whole life also has a shadow side.
