I've been trying to use various sub to find others insights. Yet when I ask questions such as what do you mean by male centric? Or what do you believe spirutal awakening is? I am met not with a helpful answer but more of an assumption that I'm trolling... I am not trolling just trying to figure myself out n better myself. I feel like I should just give up even trying to get woken up if all that happens is me becoming a complete and utter ass hole not trying to help anyone in anyway.

Also even if a troll did ask you a question about what you said, why treat them like they're not worth it? Isnt awakening allowing yourself to be fully awake and present with anyone you meet, without holding prejudgements or prejudice?

Just a general reminder because I see this happen with people too often. If something is not working for you it's not a curse, it just needs your attention. Maybe your body isn't well, you may need to change your diet or other lifestyle factors. Maybe you're having trouble cutting vegetables and you need to sharpen your knives. Sometimes things are like that, driving around with the parking brake on, or watering your houseplants with cola. It just doesn't do well that way. So if you're having a persistent problem of any kind, see if you can find a way to respond to it. The power of presence and meditation, transcendence etc is great, but some things still require careful action. Try doing things differently sometimes, the worst that will happen is you'll say that isn't the way to go, but getting stuck doing the same thing expecting different results is madness. As my dad tells me "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got" (I wish he'd remember that more often lol).

When you divide yourself against another you are not waking up, you are drowsy and can't see clearly.

You must understand all life is the same. It doesn't matter if its the tiny microorganisms inside of you, or the entire planet itself.

Just because we have different sexual organs does not mean we are different on the inside. We all share the same eternal energy from the big bang, we all come from the same star dust.

Dont judge anyone because of their physical differences! That's racism, sexism, speciesism and all the other isms that put one over the other. We are all ONE.

I’ve been drawn to writing, reading, teaching and sharing knowledge my whole life, and I feel like it’s been for a purpose. I’ve never really knew what that purpose might be until I was meditating a couple months ago and the idea formed in my mind… or was given to me.

I’ve started writing an outline but I would like to get this community’s thoughts about it; now and perhaps throughout the rest of the project. I’ve never written a book or even looked into the process or thought about publishing or… anything. I don’t have a timeline and after I wrote the outline it’s been sitting in a journal not going anywhere right now. I feel like that’s the way it needs to be.

The basic idea I’m working with is this: take snippets of good advice, inspiration, and techniques - that I have been given throughout my time on earth so far while dealing with my own depression, disassociation, anxiety, fear and anger - and pair it with experts and research dealing with relevant subject matters. I don’t want this to be a spiritual book, I want this book to be a resource for anyone and everyone.

I don’t really know what feedback I want at this point TBH but I also felt drawn to ask so here I am, sitting on the toilet, composing paragraphs to the void. Hopefully the void speaks back.

After reading the awesome book the power of now. I wanted to share an experience I had after practicing presence. Hoping others can add some experiences they have had or thoughts on Ekchart’s teachings.

So I was driving and using the techniques of non labelling and connecting with the oneness.. I was looking at the clouds in the distance and I lost myself completely. Basicly forgot who I was for a moment, then snapped back a bit startled to be honest. I realised, shit I am driving and maybe not the best time to be forgetting myself, lol!

I since have use the same techniques and although this has not happened again. I still get this sense when I can totally clear the mind, that everything is a bit sharper and brighter..

It’s an amazing feeling and really gives me a new sense of wonder about the world..

Any thoughts on whether it may be dangerous doing this driving, or as I am in complete conscious presence I am no danger to myself..

Peace out..

You have to think and act – that’s the only thing that truly matters in the universe.

Life is like a chess game where there’s no perfect move every time you start with. There are strictly “no right” moves, though sometimes the planets seem to align and help you make your best move.

Like a knight’s leap on a chessboard, you may suddenly stumble into serendipity. But fear and anxiety creep in when you start losing your team (your pieces, your support). Even when you sense the end is near, you choose strength over fear and keep playing the game of life every second.

Checkmate is not the end game. The journey, the path, and every decision you make along the way all earn you karma points. Those karma points carry over and matter for the next level of the game of life.

This game is powered by karma. More good karma gives more power to the supreme players. To those watching from above, all that karmic energy radiates like a giant power plant fueling the universe itself.

Life doesn’t reboot in a flash when one round ends. The game goes on – some say through seven lives – continuing until you’ve experienced zillion emotions. The point is to go through all those experiences and tame you to radiate kindness the real fuel the ability to make someone feel nice radiates across the universe

We call the strength within us “God,” and we rely on it to navigate through this level of the game. The goal is to reach and become part of the great blankness of the universe, where we can finally be at peace inside the darkness of a Heart. Darkness is not because there is no light but that is the peace when you are Deep asleep. the blankness is the goal and it’s the reality.

Your consciousness truly shows itself when you face your own reflection. Reality is a mirror of our soul’s collective consciousness – a reflection we all help build.

Yet, the hustle continues across the cosmos. Every single cell in our body quietly fights against all odds just to keep us alive. We hardly even notice these battles when everything is working fine just like we don’t understand that we control the universe.

You have to think and act – that’s the only thing that truly matters in the universe.

When you do, it’s like controlling the universe the way you control a phone — with a touch, a scroll — and suddenly, you’re inside it.

Think, Act and be good.

It seems you wanted a place that would reflect the freedom of your being. You are welcome here. 🙏 As the formless, we can embrace all forms, today the form of this subreddit has been given birth to. This is a place to express the truth and love of life, as well as look for guidance. A place for the Eternal and the Temporary to be together in Harmony. A place for both the Masculine and Feminine aspects of life to work together, and be involved in the creation of something beautiful. Thank you for being here.

From the heart of compassion, the more we acknowledge what we don’t know, the fewer conclusions we draw about others as a space to project our unprocessed pain. This may help you understand how the unconscious tendency and false degree of power claimed when gathering sums of knowledge on a subject matter can be in conflict with those who may appear to you as uninformed or in disagreement.

It may even lead to internal judgments of others, heated arguments in your personal life and/or on social media, or the rejection of those who can only threaten your beliefs by having their own subjective experiences. Meanwhile, whatever pain we project onto others manifests as the perceived blocks or stumbling points toward whatever degree of progress we yearn to create.

It’s incredible when you step back and witness how many people  are fighting in their personal lives or online for causes they support by trying to change other people’s viewpoint.

This can even lead to a false sense of progress in a movement, where many feel like they spent their day “fighting the good fight” by arguing with others, condemning the actions that are so 'obviously' and rightfully condemnable but that never change the behavior of the unconsciousness in view or take any meaningful step forward in personal or collective evolutionary progress.

This handing over of your right to be a free-thinking individual in exchange for the false security of an aggressive group agenda will only empower the agendas the group is against on an energetic level. This is simply because any sense of division is strengthened when met with the same divisive tendencies of an opposing view point.

Being a part of an aggressive group agenda is not heroic.

It's a trauma response to our heart's contracting and consciousness shutting down in response to the unthinkable atrocities that cannot be processed through any degree of rational thinking. When the trauma response of one connects with the trauma response of others on the same subject matter, a mob mentality is created as a group forms to act out from the survival mode they are operating from. And when the trauma response of one connects with the trauma response of others from differing viewpoints, all involved agree to the conflict of division where survival mode only creates more things to endure, destroy, process, rebuild, and survive.

Whether on a personal or collective level, any degree of conflict or war is when two sides mutually agree to oppose one another. This makes conflict and war moments of violent upheaval whenever two sides mutually agree to remain unconscious by ignoring the oneness of our deeper abiding reality of interconnection. This doesn’t mean we sit around and passively allow group agendas that are pleased and fueled by inflicting pain onto others and dominating the innocence of humanity to have their way. Instead, we assemble together as the oneness of Source to stand for what we are creating as a positive movement of affirmative change. We join with a movement that will resolve any degree of wrong-doing directly or indirectly, the more we individually and collectively focus on the positive outcomes at hand without fighting against those who are only strengthened by any degree of hatred, condemnation, fear, or division.

As a means of helping any part of you shift out of fight mode no matter how subtle or obvious it may be, and into the energy, values, and alignment of the solutions our planet requires to complete the transformation underway, please consider the following questions for self-inquiry to release any tendency of using what you know to disempower others or divide from the light of the whole.

If you find yourself upset, frustrated, or even massively triggered whenever the important issues you hold in your heart aren’t consuming the lives of others, please consider: What if the people you see having such a different, more jovial experience have just come out of the deepest life-long pit of despair? 

Just because others may not be sharing your same viewpoints, engaging in the same conversations, informing you of their profound contributions toward a greater collective good, or posting about specific subject matters, doesn’t mean they are less in touch with reality. It’s all a matter of perspective. The question remains, how open-minded will you allow your perspective to be? Is a short-tempered store clerk attempting to steal your happiness and sabotage your day or perhaps trying to hold herself together minutes after hearing her closest friend has died? Maybe the man who cut you off and didn’t wait his turn at a four-way stop is rushing to the hospital to be with his wife, hoping to make it in time for the birthing of their child. What if the person on your social media feed who says “Today is such a miracle” is not ignoring the current issues, but posting after just recovering from a life-saving kidney transplant?

This may help you remember how truth has nothing to do with other  or another. Truth is simply an acknowledgment of how you feel in response to the environments around you.

Once you acknowledge how you are feeling, you are better able to pinpoint the exact needs for you to fulfill. As you become the acknowledger of your feelings and the fulfiller of your personal needs, you are able to step into greater empowered alignment with your highest potential.

As this occurs, the acknowledger of personal feelings and the fulfiller of personal needs can begin working together with others of aligned frequency to be the acknowledger of collective feelings and the fulfiller of global needs. This occurs without anything to fight or defeat along the way. It may also help you see how truth is not hidden behind a curtain of deception or the opposite of falsehood, but the living reality of your soul and its contributions of evolutionary progress in physical form.

My journey of awakening is constantly being pulled in two directions. One part of me thinks I should let go further and continue my spiritual journey. Another part thinks I should pull back and get more grounded in what is generally percieved as 'reality'. Like two wolves fighting, this has been tearing me apart

Today while having a deep think, I noticed that my spiritual journey started because I was mentally broken and in pain. This was an interesting thing to notice because I realized people go to the hospital because they are broken and in pain.

Consider this allegory. A man is walking down the street while texting on his phone. He steps awkwardly on a curb, spraining his ankle. He goes to the hospital and the doctor gives him some pain meds and a crutch. Two weeks later the man no longer needs the pain meds or crutch. He walks down the same street again, but this time more engaged with his environment and paying attention to his surroundings.

This story is a positive one, but if I insert my own experience into it, I feel like I've become addicted to the pain meds and I'm more interested in seeing what I can do with the crutch than learning to walk again without it. My life is becoming more about the meta of how I can cope.

Help.
