enlightened

So you "did psychedelics right" and he's "doing psychedelics wrong"? And you are certain enough of this to write an entire essay about it because you deem yourself more "enlightened" than he is? Isn't…

Almost enlightened — Been doing my regular sadhana for a few years. One fine day, I did my morning sadhana and was sitting there watching my breath and boom! I was there! No need, no cause, no feelings or emotions. Only v…

2g APE trip, complete reality shatter and spirit talking through me? — For context, this is my second “trip” with shrooms, though i’ve microdosed for quite a bit now. The first trip was a very manageable 1g of regular cubes, but this one was a whole different animal. Se…

You have the answers — ​ Hello folks, hope your day is going well! Below i'll post the final chapter to a short work I put together. while out of context it does provide some useful tips on how to be. A dedicated …

How to call out white liberal racism — I had a racist encounter with a white liberal yesterday (hooray for living in Boston), and I’m hoping this will help some here in dealing with them. While conservative whites are much more direct wit…

Took DMT first time the night before, watched Enter the Void on shrooms the next day. Now I think Im traumatised. — ​ So the night before, I did DMT for the first time. It was a lot. Colours I had never seen before, geometric shapes constantly moving and transforming, and a sense of presence that I still ca…

How do I help my partner with his phone addiction? — TL;DR - How do you best support your partner who is struggling to break out of his phone addiction, around which he is self-aware and feels a lot of shame? I (38F) and my partner (34M) have been tog…

I went from feeling everything, to nothing, and now I don’t know what to do with myself — I(31f) am going to separate from my partner (35m) of 9 years later this year. He’s deployed right now, knows that this is something I’ve been feeling, but accepted my offer that I not tell him if I re…

Contact with a NHI in a dream — So this happened on the night of April 4th. I would've posted it sooner but I'm already a shy person and this has been a lot for me to process. That night I had a dream where I was lying flat on my …

>About my successes, I manifested more money than I had ever seen before. Prior to that, I thought I’d always be broke. I even had to take a screenshot of my bank balance to remind myself of that amaz…

Respectfully, this is what happens when you only focus on material aspects and totally disregard the "spiritual woo woo." I'm not saying everyone ever needs to be enlightened, but there's a reason why…

The world is not as you are. The world is as you subconsciously believe it to be true. And those subconscious beliefs need to be manually built day by day by methods proven to work and it may take mon…

My answer has nothing to do with Murphy. English isn’t my first language so I used ChatGPT to help me word this, but here’s my honest recommendation: If you want to explore the **Three Principles** …

well, when I see these words above, it is all obvious and clear that its illusion. Its consciousness. One day I saw this and it is clear. So now when im watching the river flow, I know its an appeara…

I see someone is denying you your experiences and gut feelings. This should be a safe space to discuss these things. I feel like I am an abductee. Anyone telling someone they are playing victim or und…

Im also not enlightened and i dont understand many things i just think some humans who live here dont belong here U also think this. With some of us this isnt a good place. Where im from things dont…

Part of the “enlightenment” one gets from meditation involves a recognition of where people are at, & that they, like you, want to be happy. If you are struggling to connect & feeling bad about it, …

My meditation teacher refers to this as "spiritual pride". We start to see ourselves as on a higher elevation. People adficted to consumption are trying to be happy. They just haven't woken up to t…

yes ...most of the masters are that way ...dwelling in awake awareness 24/7 even during sleep ..never get distracted from the enlightened essence but it takes a lot of practice and commitment . you …

Aura readers are a thing! And it can be many colors. Usually they tell you what the color means when they read you. Some feel it more than they see it and can't always tell the color, but at least can…

From my experience, it is possible to have 'breakthrough' awakening experiences, where you are hit in the face with insight so hard that it is impossible to go back. I experienced this going from ex…

There is a saying: "as the child is to the adult, the adult is to the sage" When you see a child eating dirt you know it is bad, because your life experience and wisdom is much greater than the child…

No, I have not seen someone stay in that highly aware state permanently. It's inconvenient as hell, LOL! Our bodies demand our attention. If we don't give it, our bodies can go sideways in life. We'…

Yes. Sometimes I feel like "halfway to enlightened" is worse than "ignorance is bliss." I don't mean halfway to enlightened literally, of course, but I mean transitions can be rough. Change is uneven,…

Thanks for your reply. I realize I should have included this in my original post. Another aspect I’m curious about is whether it’s possible to remain in an “enlightened” mode while dealing with people…

Yeah, it's a common thing people like to push here because it feels good (and perhaps because technically there is some truth to it... technically anybody in the world can become enlightened in a sing…

Your questions: Future instances/Priming your mind? Yes. Retrocausal activity is something that i've experienced and it appears that something beyond our linear arrow of time is involved in our growt…

Thanks for your well thought out reply. I resonate so much with all that you just said. The growth beyond linear time def tracks based on the different planes of existence beyond material and time. …

Thich Nhat Hanh was a zen master, one of the most widely known Buddhist teachers of our time. He said many times that he continued to practice and that even the Buddha practiced throughout his entire …

No. Look. I believe in quantum leaps and reality shifts and im pretty sure I have experienced it myself. Ive definitely manifested a new reality, but that took place incrementally over several months,…

This is such a great question. I've been meditating for too many decades to admit and have often wondered who if anyone is really enlightened, and if we aren't chasing down yet another illusion. Thank…

Thank you for the positive words. Color me encouraged and enlightened.

I think it is the yearning for that permanent state that blocks total realization. Ponder non self. No one is enlightened. Just drops off. I do not know. End of knowledge and end of desire.

I wouldn't deny that there are some polyamorous people who believe that polyamory is superior to or in some sense more enlightened than monogamy. However, on the flip side, there are some monogamous p…

Buddha said if there was a second force as strong as lust there would be no enlightened people. So your in good company with your struggle; to accept the feeling and not act on it but embrace it is ak…

She also chose him because he tolerated her flings behind his back. It's hard to imagine she cheated on you multiple times in college and no one enlightened him that she was playing around behind his …

The idea of "letting go" is a bit misleading because it implies you have to *do* something. Like, when you let go of something in your hand, you have to open your hand. For a long time I thought this …

For sure, reaching a momentary state of liberation/kensho/satori is not a signal that you are now enlightened and fully realized and don't need to continue practicing. This is why a conceptual framewo…

If you are confused about your enlightenment you probably are not enlightened. There are many fantastic experiences in the way but the idea is to discard them by saying this is not it, this cannot be …

Enlightenment is not a thing a person chases, this is ego and pride. A person can become more awake and aware but its off from being fully enlightened.  However just enjoy the journey dont worry about…

Sounds like you are getting into 'no mind' state. That's a big progress. Don't worry about your practice, you will be able to get there again when it is time for it. Bad meditation is only the one you…

There is no enlightenment for the individual separate self and that which is is already enlightened.

*”If you think you’re enlightened, try spending a week with your family.”* -Ram Dass

> recognize, release, relax, return, repeat This sound like it's describing concentration meditation (a.k.a. Samatha meditation), not mindfulness (a.k.a. Vipassana meditation). This method will help …

That's a good reminder and story. It reminds me of a talk I heard from Kriya teacher Ryan Kurczak. Here it is... https://youtu.be/zuuA0gJRTOM?si=-myWQWbDXVfMJ_34 He thought he was enlightened once too…

I’m a believer of Christ so I am uplifted by the gospel/good news. I have no worries. In a world of random chaos, there is a path to eternal freedom. I am full of gratitude and I look at the glass hal…

Wow. I feel like we all just received free therapy! Are you a mental health professional or just an enlightened & incredibly insightful being?

I did specifically use the word correlate with cause regarding serotonin because I read a book around Dopamine baseline written by someone credible in the field but for Serotonin is a new concept to m…

I will offer a counterpoint from a man's perspective. Women have nesting instincts that men don't, and want more controlled environments because of this. Men have the natural urge to present themselve…

People rail on and on about how it's unenlightened to worry about men and women being close friends while in a relationship. It's 2026 right, it's so outdated and backwards to worry about it. But then…

I have to be honest, you're not enlightened yet.

I wonder if such behaviour and the fact many parent objectify their children and shatter their lives -in the name of 'love'- for shallow, selfish personal gains. Is this a generational thing? Younger…

The monogamy/poly divide is a defining aspect of one's sexuality, just like orientation in terms of gender. People naturally inclined to nonmonogamy will not feel safe and fulfilled in a sexually excl…

I love this intellectual response but so much speculation going on you made up. I don't know all the answers but personally I draw my sources from the best of the best. Robert Monroe was one man, and …

my ex did that but added "only open for me, you are not enlightened enough" and looked over at her purse which she always carried a firearm in.
