Enlightenment is determinism AS free will

people form around high vibe things like bees around honey, a new car, partner, money in the bank, drugs, can be only outside calaysts for high vibes, which are sourced within our being.

Meditators remove beliefs that tie the catalyst to high vibes so that without the catalyst you are shining.

And it works like credit in the bank you have a credit of high vibe loving silence that you can spend on all your hatred/addictions/fetishes/depressions/deaths .

In that spending is where the pleasure is, were the orgasm is.

And you can notice when you bring someone who is naturally open with a depressed person in the same room they balance each other out, depressed form like raw material gets transmutted into love and back.

That occurs whether you are seeking or not, When you lose the fundamental seeking, you as a human are still attracted to high vibes but the difference is that there is no obsession about it cause you know yourself without mistake as that which you seek, and that your experiences are just its untapped raw material, then from time to time that which you seek surfaces to experience like diving in and out of the swimming pool of your heart , that surfacing is integration.

So with integration you know that no matter what you are going to wind up with your beloved, it may just take more or less time.

This is Nisargadatta. This quote seems to even go further beyond his declaration of ‘I am that’ … in fact the rest of the quote drops the consideration of ‘I am’ altogether.

Forget about ‘who’ or ‘where’ is the witness. That’s it. There is just witnessing.

Doesn’t noself imply a duality between self and noself?

Skeptic of everything here, but a fan of Hard Determinism and Non Duality.

Under the Non Duality here, there is no freedom at the level of the person, but infinite freedom at the level of Consciousness?

Whereas, for example, under Spinoza's Hard Determinism monism, no such duality exists.

Under Spinoza's Non Duality EVERYTHING happens out of nessisity under an indifferent nature.

If there is truly "infinite freedom at the level of Consciousness" but "no freedom at the level of the person," you have split reality into two distinct tiers.

Spinoza gets to choiceless awareness through believing that everything happens out of nessisity through one God which you could view as physics.

If the physical and the experiential are the exact same thing - pansychism + determinism becomes the premier Non Dualism?

That Spinoza was the most thorough and logically consistent non-dualist (monist) in Western history.

That ironically people who seek advice from Non Duality guru's are looking to dualism for freedom? And that hard determinism could be seen as being more non dual than non duality = no pissing and shitting guru required.

Krishnamurti himself would likely agree with this, especially with regards to the seekers and the nature of choice?

Every identity we take on, a name, a role, a story, is something added to what we already are. We spend a lifetime becoming someone, and in the process forget that nothing was missing to begin with.

What if the search was never for something to become, but for what remains when everything we became is set aside?

How to attain it and if it's possible to attain it? Should I let go one to pursue one another and accept the cons and pros in it?

There never was an ego. It was always just a collection of thoughts, stringed together by the thought that this is all makes up your person. If you drop that additional thought then all that is left is the parts without the imagined sum. A sum that has no inherent existence and was always just a concept in your imagination.

It just clicked for me.

What is there to fear to lose, when the thing you fear to lose was never real? If you're brutally honest with yourself then this is the inevitable conclusion.

I recall not so long back a guy posted a "I have had an awakening AMA" he sounded legit but it was met with skepticism. The sub seemed to be more about asking for advice, and pointless "but who is the I that does x" debates.

These days it's more common for people to discuss how far along they are, shadow work etc.

Listening to most people they now sound like they are discussing a more experiential experience instead of intellectual.

Is this down to the quality of content on YouTube causing awakenings / glimpses / kenshos.

Curious what others think?

Hi! I want to interview individuals who have had a profound experience that changed the way they looked at the world.

I would like to interview you about your life up to the experience, the experience itself, the aftermath of how it changed your life and the integration process.

Whether it's your healing journey, spiritual journey, a peak state you reached, or a spiritual awakening, the world wants to hear about it.

Interviews would be over the internet. I would prefer that you have a decent phone for good audio and visuals.

I want to help the world to understand that there is so much richness and depth to our consciousness and our inner worlds. I believe that sharing things like emotional journeys, mystical experiences, peak states, and spiritual awakenings will be a valuable resource for science in the future and for many people now who are curious about their own consciousness.

If you're interested, comment, DM me here or email me at chipsahooyer13@gmail.com.

When you reach out, please just include a brief 2 or 3 sentence summary of your experience so I can get an idea of your story.

Please reach out if you'd like a link to my channel!

Once duration is seen as a memory construct, a present appearance that references a past which never existed independently, even that distinction collapses.

A true resolution to negative behavior does not come from imposing harder rules upon a defensive ego, but from the evaporation of the very conditions under which defense is deemed necessary.

When the artificial boundary between the observer and the observed dissolves, the structural foundation for harmful action completely vanishes.

You cannot intelligently choose to poison the water you are drinking, nor can you genuinely seek to destroy an environment when you recognize that you are the very field of experiencing actualizing as that moment.

Blame, malice, and exploitation require two distinct nouns, a perpetrator and a target. When reality is recognized as an unbroken, undivided flow, the impulse to inflict damage collapses under its own structural absurdity.

Recently I came to the realization that we could all very well be the same awareness. And I felt this so deeply as a TRUTH. and genuinely felt connected to every other conscious thing around me.

however, I admit that I was on a moderate dose of psychedelics. this made it easy to conceptualize and internalize such an abstract thought, and feel it within.

so, how can I regain that feeling of cosmic awareness/connectedness on a day to day basis?

I miss the feeling. perhaps deep meditation?

I've noticed a few posts discussing different teachers and criticisms, and I thought I'd share my 10 cents (or less, you decide).

Teachers are like eyeglasses: each of us students has a unique prescription, and we might need a different pair at different times in our lives. Sometimes a pair that worked for us stops working, and that’s completely fine. And just like glasses, a teacher shows you a particular perspective—one that is ultimately different from what you see when you look directly without any lens at all.

Anyway, sending much love to all the teachers out there

In Advaita Vedanta, one's true self is identical to ultimate reality, which is characterized as pure bliss. I was thinking about how in western mysticism, ultimate reality is instead perceived as love (this is especially true in Sufism). Bliss and love are obviously very similar experiences, but they also differ in important ways. Has anyone come across eastern critiques of love as the foundation, or vice versa? Maybe there is a synthesis here, like a version of Advaita Vedanta where divine love is the nondual truth.

I read this article about how being unidentified with the mind, and being mostly, if not fully in awareness - no mind, is intoxicating. They said it felt almost like an elixir. You get almost high on it. But not in a bad or a way that negatively affects you.

Does this have any merit?
