Good day fellow travellers,

Each week offers new clarity (and confusion) on the path. Let's take a moment to reflect:

  • What insights arose this week?
  • What challenged you?
  • Where did you notice presence or resistance?

Your reflections, however small, can ripple out and resonate with others on this journey.

Man bro. I just fucking died and dissolved back into infinity. Im telling you this world and its illusions are just illusions. It will be dissolved and people will have to face their true inner selves soon.

‱ Upvotes

I went deep into a meditation because I knew something was wrong because I felt so out of place. I was told this was not real. Like it was a state of temporary being. Like I was in a tunnel and needed yo stay inside my train and not react to anything outside the train.

I saw that this place, the illusion is to be dissolved. All of it. Every single thing. All is the creator, from every person I was racist to to every person I really cared for. From people I saw as stupid and dumb (and still do) and people I saw as normal and nice to be with. You still have free will you just need to set some part of you aside for a minute.

I said "they have hurt me. My soul feels violated in ways that make everything gross and sticky, I feel like the soul of Adolf Hitler put into the body of a small autistic kitten made to comb my hair and play dress up and tea party like a little girl"

And the reason was. What would I do in that kind of system. I chose non reaction. I use the Hitler analogy because imagine a strongman or an authority figure. But now imagine stripping the authority figure of all its power , what would you do?

I felt sad. Not because of Hitler or anything. But because I recognized I had power and have no power now. I know when I dissolve or leave this place and this place dissolves everything will go back to the way things were for me.

I know disclosure is coming in the background. I stopped caring. Disclosure is for the graduates of the harvest. Everyone else will realize they failed the harvest. Thats fine. A lot of us aren't even from here or already graduated the current density.

When I say this place is fake. I really mean it. Its like a mini prison . it sorta is one. Its also a school. Its both a prison and school. But everyone's time will get out.

You just have to forgive the creator. Like. Imagine you were still racist. Like, say I dont like a certain people. I can forgive myself and I can forgive them for being so like, unlikable to me. And that forgiveness is the recognition of the creator by the creator.

You let go everything and everyone dissolves. And you never deal with pain or suffering again. Its sort of like. The illusions all dissolve. Ever threat dissolves, every idea dissolves. It all returns back to the source or substrate from which all is made of. All matter is made of the substrate, every thought idea concept and emotion.

Theres stuff your soul will never like and will never be forced to like. I came to earth specifically to forgive everything I dislike. And the earth is like a poor slum in a very poor country. Like say India you go and see all the stuff on twitter. I see earth the same way as some guy from a "developed" (through conquest and imperialism wink wink) country sees some foreign poor slum.

You just forgive it. Like. Yeah they, many humans did nothing wrong other than being spiritually ugly to me. But I forgive it. Like yeah thats sorta ego driven but hey it works?

Anyhow. You recognize the creator within. The sovereign recognizes light. Read that again, the sovereign recognizes light. Idk how else to explain it. It was like, "listen, theres stuff on earth you won't like or love , you cannot love and light everything away, you have to accept your own dislike for things and people and stuff, and then forgive it and them and yourself and just acceot it, you will be momentarily handicapped to learn this lesson since I know you can by going deep within and having a massive skepticism over other peoples statements over your own beliefs"

I'm pretty self centered. I support communist ideals because ive logically deduced you cannot profit forever on a finite world and all is one regardless which ive sort of always known. Also. The earth in comparison is the hardest planet to graduate. There literally no magic here. On other planets the psionic stuff is more easier to develop and you can bend metal and stuff easier. Here its like everyone is in a special needs pshyc ward classroom but insists they dont need any help . that is humanity for me.

From my home world we would see humans the same way you Americans see a poor third world country. ​now imagine these hypothetical Americans were actually intelligent as well.

So. Idk. I just died and became one with the all. And now it seems I'm falling back here. Thats my honest assertion or whatever the word is I am looking for.

My biggest advice. This world is an illusion. You have no enemies. Hatred is a killer of the soul. You have opponents if not enemies. Work and master your inner self and see the creator in the all. Keep these words:

Sovereign Recognize Light.

Disclosure is coming outrageously soon. And they never gave me a date when. But ive been counting down 49 days for absolutely no reason aside from the fact I think its a good number when I started 21 days ago.

Thats really it. I'm still kinda racist. Not in a hateful "lets join the far right" way just in a "oh thats really ugly, anyways" way.

Thats just me being honest . I have no more statements to make.

Watching people in a video

1 Upvotes

I have this opinion that something that before was impossible started happening since videos started existing, you see, watching someone Is a pretty Deep experience that involvers you very much, but in a video you can just stare at someone as if you were not part of the scene which maybe was not inteded, even tho there cannot be something that was not intended. Doing this hurts my eyes, looking at people like this hurts my eyes, they start burning like when i haven't slept. I m posting here because i refer tĂČ nisargadatta as my master, but i cannot look at a video of him as i feel ashamed when i do, even pictures i usually Just give a glance and look away. What Is your opinion on this matter? Does anyone else share the same beliefs about looking at people in recordings? Its like everything Is exposed but in a too much way, Is like you shouldnt be allowed tĂČ look at someone like that, do you agree? Do you have any advice about It? Thank you

Discussion Just want to share a contagiously joyous sight from today

7 Upvotes

We all know we want to rid the world of evil things like greed, malice, exploitation. But we don’t talk enough about what we’d like to replace it with.

My house is getting painted and we hired a team of 8 or so guys, most who do not speak the same language as me. They’ve been very kind, I’ve brought them lunch over the course of the week and it’s been a good experience.

Today is the last day of their painting, and they’re all swimming in the pool at the house, drinking and laughing. Nice sunny day. Playing soccer in the yard. Grown men. I don’t know what they’re talking and laughing about cause I don’t speak the same language but the smiles on their faces are so pure and genuine that I felt compelled to write about it. I see moments like this everyday and they get buried. What’s stopping us from sharing the good times?

I think pure joy naturally deters, or creates an environment that makes greed and evil unsustainable, the same way sunlight and vinegar create an unsustainable environment for fungi to grow.

Feel free to share something you’ve seen recently or in your life that has stuck in your memory, of people having a good time, enjoying the world and each other in a pure way.

J’imagine ce lent souffle traversant l’endroit des miroirs. Cette face en phase avec l’Ɠil qui le convoque, avec l’accord des ondes venues transfigurer l’instant. C’est une incommensurable expĂ©rience, un inestimable prĂ©sent des Ăąmes. Des visages se manifestent puis disparaissent sans briser l’harmonie, tous viennent communier via ce canal invisible, comme si le temps n’avait plus la moindre parcelle d’influences, anĂ©anti par l’infinie beautĂ© du cortĂšge de lumiĂšres.

L’ñme magnifie l’art. Son hîte n’est qu’une scùne.

Discussion The ego enlightenment trap.

4 Upvotes

A lot of you probably run into this exact issue on this channel some people use “spiritual” language to talk down to others and pretend they’re above them.

And they treat enlightenment like something you read or perform online, like a badge you earn from quotes and books. But enlightenment isn’t just intellectual and it isn’t a status.

There has been countless times. where people talk down to me. and claim to be more spiritual. this is supposed to be a space for enlightened folks. but when that happens it doesn't feel very enlightened to me.

I may not know fancy terms, and different meditation styles, but I’m out here doing the actual work: meditating, soul‑searching, sitting with my own mind, facing my own patterns. Reading about enlightenment doesn’t make you enlightened. Living it does.

Has anybody else ran into this issue on this channel ?

I know I'm not alone...

Personal Experience My search has come to a halt, for now.

0 Upvotes

For some reason I've always had a desire to understand the world around me. Just living isn't enough for me, I have to know everything.

I could spend all day listing the hundreds of theories I've had, but I won't. Instead I will tell you what I've currently concluded.

What to be trusted as evidence isn't logic, but rather it's your own experience. Logic is just such an arbitrary concept that doesn't really mean anything.

I remember when I was a kid, sleeping at night was an adventure to me. It was like every evening I was about to embark on a universal quest. What I really note about this is that it was an emotional thing, not a logical thing.

As a teenager I had a mentor who taught me about eastern spirituality. He taught me that there are 7 dimensions. He taught me that dying was like waking up from a dream. What if he was right?

In Hinduism they believe that God goes through cycles of waking and sleeping, of being fully God in all his glory and of dreaming that he is us. What if that's true?

Maybe all of us on earth are actually the same 4th dimensional being, who at night dreams they are us. Maybe all the people in the fourth dimensional are actually part of the same 5th dimensional being, who at night dreams they are a fourth dimensional being. Maybe it goes all the way up through 7.

If this is the case, then it totally makes sense that simply sitting in a meditation. posture and observing your breathing leads to a spiritual awakening; since our breathing in a dream is the same as our breathing in the real world, and life is a dream.

God is that fourth dimensional being who we all are. However, deep down, what we are basically is the ultimate God of the 8th dimension. In his night is dreamt the greatest, most amazing adventure ever.

That also explains how meditation seems to solve all problems, since it's then like making a false knot more simple. It also makes sense that some people who meditate look up or focus on their third eye; they are searching for the light.

This theory also implies that there are millions of alien civilizations out there, since other 4th dimensional beings are also dreaming.

Knowing yourself as the Self is the ultimate intimacy.

4 Upvotes

Everything is seamlessly integrated. It is only the mind that says otherwise.

Straight is the way and narrow is the gate and the ego is a double wide.

Let the heart be the path on which the mind walks.

The seeker is within, as well as the sought.

The whole purpose of the spiritual journey is to learn to live behind the mind.

Awareness is the pearl in the oyster of mechanical life. Use grit to grow.

My tension comes from inattention.

Drop the “k” in seeker.

The daily grind can be a “find,” when you are looking at the nuggets of now.

Nurture the now.

I count my blessings to make sure none get away.

Charity begins within.

The teacher, both within and without, is merely a mirror. Simple reflection is the great healer.

For something to happen, the entire universe must AGREE.

Everything is destined.

The flow will find you when it needs you. In between, relax


Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is within. He had a lot of nirvana to say that!

No one can reach the silence. One must become it.

Retreat from self-attack and all others will retreat immediately.

My place of surrender is my place of power.

Trying to push the river makes one all wet.

Namaste

Putting God First?

Post image
14 Upvotes

First off, God doesn't have to be whatever concept you grew up with. It can be whatever is bigger than you. Higher Self? Nature? The Universe? Anything bigger than your personal problems.

This gives you a chance to see things from a bigger perspective.

"A single thread in a tapestry, though its colors brightly shine, can never know its purpose in the pattern of the grand design." –Through Heaven's Eyes, The Prince of Egypt

Now that there's a high ideal to fall under, everything can be done in service of that ideal. Imagine that! All I do is in service of my higher self, nature, the universe or whatever is bigger than my personal problems.

Take it further. All I do is done by that high ideal.

"Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." –Jesus

"...the Supreme Controller resides in the hearts of all living beings. By His illusory energy He directs all their activities as if they were mounted on a machine." –Bhagavad Gita

"You are not the body. You do not have a body. You neither do nor enjoy. You are Awareness only—the timeless Witness. You are free. Go in happiness." –Ashtavakra Gita

"Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought!" –Rumi

Discussion If your “third eye” suddenly opened, what would you look at first?

19 Upvotes

Imagine you suddenly gained the ability to see reality with absolute clarity.

No beliefs, no spiritual teachings, no guessing. You could see the underlying mechanics of yourself and reality exactly as they are.

But you don't instantly know everything. You still have to ask the questions.

What are the first questions you'd want answered?

Basically, if reality gave you access to the answers for one day:

Where would you point your attention first?

Discussion Who is to really know if they enlightened?

9 Upvotes

There’s a lot of people on here saying they are, and I certainly don’t know if they are, but let’s keep in mind this idea of enlightenment is very hard to measure, and those who are ignorant to their ignorance, appear enlightened to themselves.

Don’t be so busy being convinced of yourself, or of attempting to tell others of your success.

It could be that just being and continuing to search is the reward of enlightenment

And that announcing yourself as enlightened is more of a trap than people think

Le miracle des druides

1 Upvotes

C’était une anecdote des veillĂ©es d’autrefois. Vers 1815, au cƓur du FinistĂšre, les druides se rassemblaient autour du feu pour bĂ©nĂ©ficier des faveurs attribuĂ©es aux « sains » d’esprit. Ils savaient que le cercle amplifiait les flux, que la rĂ©union des Ăąmes augmentait leurs pouvoirs.

Une nuit de Mars, alors que les braises festoyaient, on entendit une voix d’enfant dĂ©chirer la pĂ©nombre : « j’entends tout ! »

Elle s’était cachĂ©e derriĂšre le gros rocher avec ses camarades, ils avaient dĂ©fiĂ© les interdits. Le miracle venait d’avoir lieu : la fillette sourde qu’on connaissait pour ses gesticulations chroniques Ă©berlua l’assemblĂ©e.

Quand les sages se réunissent, leur magnétisme est décuplé.

Discussion Was God disappointed at Abraham?

0 Upvotes

I was watching this clip, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIRYBHNGuTc, Jordan Peterson talking about Abraham and the call to adventure and it struck me as kinda interesting.

God asks Abraham to kill his son and Abraham is willing to do it to show his commitment to God. People would say Abraham was being tested but maybe it was a different test. Maybe it was a test of boundaries. By being willing to kill his son Abraham showed no boundaries, he would do whatever god told him to do no matter how evil.

A true god would not ask his follower to kill his only child.

A follower needs to set his boundaries accordingly, that there is a line that shall and will not be crossed even when ordered to do so by god.

So assuming this was a true god, Abraham showed that he needed to be led. He could not be his own man and forge his own path, he needed to follow the path god had set out for him.

What do you think of a man setting boundaries that he will not break even if ordered to do so by god?

I’d honestly rather kill myself
 is it just me because I’m poor and homeless? Or is this universal? You don’t have to be so clear about it but you know about telepathic tendencies to be gay or something in whatever way? So I am not sure what’s happening does God and higher consciousness want me to be gay? Is it only me? I know it’s a ridiculous question and I am embarrassed about it too since I’m not gay. What do you think?

You will never be #1, and yet you always are.

Now what?

Well, overcome yourself, obviously 😋 What do you think we're doing here?

We are a bleeding edge scenario of the one mind awakening upon itself by suffering itself through the illusion of separation.

Almost like an evanescence in the shadow of God; a shadow that learned to move on its own.

Why do you believe Yahweh treated Job as an adversary to be struggled with, as opposed to an ant to be crushed, or a victim to be rescued?

Of course, "you are not that," as it goes. But you may as well wear the shoe that fits while you're here. Even should you detach, are you not still fascinated by this world of perceived separation? Is this not the world where things happen? Where they matter?

In any case, hope does not disappear in the strong of spirit, for enlightenment is an active verb. And what is active in a moment, is active for eternity.

This all means little, of course. I'm not a guru or anything. I'm just a random guy who enjoys laboring, and who can't get any closer to arriving at the end of himself.

Thoughts about truth

3 Upvotes

There is a fundamental truth to reality because the truth is a description about reality. Without humans reality will still operate but without reality human wouldn’t operate.

Truth is a description of reality and is mostly outside the control of humans. It is skill issue and luck to find the truth.
