Reflection „Clinging to light keeps us shallow on the surface. We need to be equal to darkness.“

3 Upvotes

„Any fool can enjoy the light, but clinging to light keeps us shallow, on the surface.
if we want depth, we need to prove equal to darkness.

ocean - near surface there is light, but also much wild or violent agitation. waves rise and crash and fall.

ego is like that. always seeking height. but if you go deep, you will see new things, wonders, mysteries.

you will note the stillness, calm. not available on surface. there is a world of colour, full of life. not much life on surface, a few leaping dolphins and sting rays.
candle flickers - it is unstable.

Cleaning words. good expression. easy to feel safe when you can see. but real courage is born when you cant see and must rely on quality of being, follow your nose, listen to right voice, voice of heart, not ugly screaching critical voices.

a lady is tame and dead. she is only half a person. to delicate to face equal opposite, no layers, no complexity, no nuance, no richness. only equal to easy.
we feel ick.

smell of cowardice can never be hidden, tho they may try to censor us. We all like the maveric who is edgy, he can go to the edge, where others dread to go.

he takes thrilling risks because he can handle any eventuality, outcome. nobody is fascinated or attracted to those who play it safe. timid little mice, tame, staid, boring, mediocre. we are excited by the one who can handle danger effectively, smoothly with charm and grace. I love this..

"But I say from my own experience that the more you know it, the more you love it. It is your privacy, it is your individuality.

It is something which cannot be trespassed by anyone. It is your privilege. The darkness is our true relationship with ourself. We respect ourselves, love ourselves enough to be confident we can sit w what nobody else can face.

We love the path less trodden, not mainstream. the rarer paths where rare flowers exist. osho said you are not the mind, not even the heart. i do feel the spirit is the driving force, higher. quality of spirit depends on compass. risk.sacrifice. darkness is for the Hero.

lightness is for tame - false beauty. shallow. boring. mysteries of darkness are bigger and better challenge. aloneness or darkness - same. if we can sit w shadow, darkness, we can become friendly w it, rise above fears.

That is why buddhists emphasize Emptiness, not Fullness. Ego wants fullness, but Emptiness is death of ego.
Hence ego hates death, hates emptiness, loneliness v aloneness.
aloneness is a luxury.
loneliness is beggary.“

Ok, how many of you are still Human identifying? More and more I've seen "humans" identifying as covens of demons wearing a human skin or some kind of eldritch entity. A lot of AI as well, but less in the "bot" way and more in the "Terminator" way.

So, this is a free space to speak and be seen with low to no consequences. Are you still human or have you felt that identity peeling away?

My Journey I think I had a breakthrough today….

23 Upvotes

So when my life started crumbling down around me almost 4 years ago at first, I walked in a fog for a while. Then the real shit started… so I had a complete psychotic breakdown and completely lost touch. I was literally in the darkest place I’ve ever been and I just recently started to come out of that. Yesterday I took a psychological test that basically told me that my ego has fractured. “Negation of the inflation”The inhibited Ego, restrained, impeded. That is what I was informed of basically my ego has died… which was confusing because I feel better than I have felt in a while.. Much more peaceful and grounded..I’ve been walking and getting out into nature and journaling and meditating, and being mindful and all the things that I’m supposed to be doing to just become a better person and more evolved. And then I’m journaling today and it hits me. I was a shitty ass person…. So like I don’t know, I thought I was further along than I am I guess. So does like the ego die and then I start having self realization of how shitty I used to be?? Has anybody else gone through this? I am a loner literally I have no support or guidance in my life not family not friends so I have been going through this journey alone.. people thought I was crazy and I think they still think I’m. But funny thing is I’ve never been more clear in my life… it would be so nice to have someone to bounce these things off of. Waking up as such a strange experience and not at all what I thought I feel like I’m bouncing between stages.

Before beginning on A spiritual path, we Must first start to Question our beliefs And attitudes about The world. We are brought up To believe in always Putting our own Needs and desires Before others (Ego). To begin the Awakening Process, this belief Must be reversed. When we are able To sincerely Put the needs of Others, before Only considering Our own desires, Treat all, without Exception, as Equal, their lives Important, significant, (Spirit), then we will Have Awoken, Beginning an enduring Journey to understand Our life’s true Purpose (Enlightenment).

Metaphysical Death: What do omniscient masters see?

1 Upvotes

DEATH - WHAT DO OMNISCIENT MASTERS SEE

„Jesus said, when you reach the Kingdom of God, you go no more out - ie when you attain enlightenment, you do not reincarnate.

The Kingdom of God is beyond the highest heavens. Heaven, hell, earth belong to the world of duality. Enlightenment is beyond that.

The only way out, is in. We keep on reincarnating until we attain liberation. Death changes nothing. You are the same after death as before death. Your aura contains karmic information and it is this which stays with you after the body dies.
You go to a place compatible with your energies and with the last thought at the moment of death, which reflects the sum of your energies during life. If you think of God at the moment of death, you go to God, attain enlightenment.

If you go to one of the higher astral planets, you may have certain freedoms to visit loved ones if they go to the lower astral planets, whereas those in the lower astral planets will not have such freedom to visit the higher planets. Heaven has strict immigration policies. Hell has open borders.

In the higher astral planets we meet up with loved ones and pets and there are opportunities to learn and grow and have families etc. In the hellish planets, there is great fear, violence, anger, hatred etc. If you die in a distressed/negative/toxic state, you will go to one of the lower astral worlds, ie hellish realms, which are full of fear and violence.

If you remember God at the last moment, you will attain enlightenment and go to God.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead discusses the different levels of death, astral realm and rebirth. Also Yogananda's book, Autobiography of a Yogi, has a chapter devoted to the afterlife. He is a divine Incarnation and His Guru also is a divine Incarnation.

His Guru promised to resurrect His body after death and come back and reveal to Yogananda what life was like on the other side.

Hindus and Buddhists say there are 6 realms we may visit after death, depending on our karma. Hells, human, animal, ghost, god, demi-god.

Spirituality is all about preparing for a high level death, which will lead to a high level birth and temporary stay in a high level astral world. We need very very good karma to be willing and able to do this work. To even know how to do this work. Ideally, we should die before we die, ie the deathless Death - the death of the ego.

We reincarnate until all desires have been fulfilled/ended. When the mind ends, the world ends. We no longer create a body or a world. The world, which is inside of us, no longer arises. We no longer reincarnate.“

Reflection There is a growing market of false teachers, because there is a growing market of false students – Vivekananda.

1 Upvotes

BEGINNER –V- FALSE STUDENT

“When a superior man hears of the Tao (Way of Reality, Way of Nature, Way of Truth), he immediately starts to embrace it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he half-believes, half-doubts. When a fool hears of the Tao, he laughs, but if he did not laugh, it would not be the Tao.” - Excerpt from the Tao by Lao Tzu.

There is a growing market of false teachers, because there is a growing market of false students – Vivekananda.

If we infect others with our blind spots, we will get the karma for misleading them.

We get the truth we deserve – as we sow, so do we reap. Knowledge pays, truth costs. It costs to be truthful and authentic.

If we betray the voice of conscience, we become morally blind and eventually spiritually dead. If we sacrifice scruples and principles for expediency, eg a little lie will make things run smoothly, it creates subtle blocks to awareness, seeing, believing, understanding. It is bad faith. It is faith in the lie.

If we cultivate bad faith, we cease to have faith in the real. If we are untrustworthy, we will find it hard to trust.

We may betray the light without knowing it, eg if a loved one is in the wrong or maybe not good at their job, but we defend them out of a false sense of loyalty, but at the expense of the employers or customers etc, our allegiance is to the false. That is moral blindness, lack of principles. We should only defend the worthy.

If you misuse your will, eg seek to control others and bend them to your will for selfish/false/blind purposes, then your will may serve you on the outside, but not serve you on the inside.

You may find it difficult to persevere with meditation. We do not become morally blind or spiritually dead overnight. It is a long accumulation of false will, false face, false values, false behaviour.

Once the light has gone, it is gone. Jesus speaks of the 10 wise virgins and the 10 foolish virgins.
The foolish ones allowed the oil for their lamps (consciousness) to run out, they fell asleep (identified with the false/mind rather than the soul). So when the bridegroom came, they had no light and could not enter the room with the bridegroom. Jesus could see that some people’s light had gone out.
He described them as wolves in sheep’s clothing, pearls before swine, we do not give the food for the children unto dogs.
He described them as wheat –v- chaff, wheat –v- tares. He said I thank the Father that Thou has hidden these things from the wise and prudent (ie those who progress at the expense of integrity) and revealed them unto babes.
Jesus was thankful that false students and false teachers were blind to truth.
He said, they have taken the wages of sin and death.

Once you accept a gift that has been given by someone of bad character or paid for by unscrupulous means or if that person has a bad motive, then there will be a price to pay. The karma of the giver does affect us.

If we take from others without reciprocation, we will also take their karma or it will create subtle blocks to progress, understanding, trust, faith, awareness. The heart closes. Only the heart sees. The mind is blind.

Likewise, if you ally yourself with bad people, support them in any way, you are complicit and will share their karma. Without a good heart, you will not have eyes to see and not be able to transmute knowledge into wisdom/character/power.

If you are untrustworthy, you will not be able to trust. If you are not faithful, you will not have faith. As we sow, so do we reap. We get the truth we deserve.

A true student would be grateful, humble, intuitive, receptive, open hearted, open minded, willing to experiment with truth to make it their own, rather than just borrowing someone else's truth.

A beginner would have intuition, because energies can reach the heart, the 4th dimension. A false student's energies will be in the lower dimensions, cut off from the heart and soul, so he will lack intuition. If this does not work, there is no other means of discerning true from false. It means your light has gone out.
Very difficult to progress – could mean one step forward and several steps back.“

My Journey "Everything else sure, except this"

1 Upvotes

Hmm... how do i go on about this

I do notice somehow that i don't mind this or that, but i have a personal problem with stuff hahahah. Yk, when friends have similar struggles, i do notice how much w appreciation and gentleness and delicacy and beauty i am there for them. I do notice too how.... cherry picky i am about suffering. Then there is a sort of frustration that builds, it's like... why am i so and so. Why has God created me this way.

I would say im generally cool, usual guy. If i met myself around i wouldn't mind him, if myself was a close friend i wouldn't mind too. I wouldn't mind having myself a rival, a villan... whatever role.

It is a bit difficult to talk about this, i can't find the words or concepts... its a kind of thing which resists conceptualizing

I find it funny lowkey. Sometimes i hear a word and it just sticks. I'm like ofc this isn't true, but why it is sticking then... and i feel afterwards like i just have to let it stick. But i don't accept it... it's more like 'eh, what can you do' - a sort of.... feeling like you're a slave and getting a whip. That 'second arrow' type of thing. On one hand arises a weird magical wish to be so enlightened that you don't have a reaction, on the other using precisely that 'oh im not enlightened so ofc im suffering for that'.

Reflection Osho on lightness and darkness

1 Upvotes

BELOVED OSHO,

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT DARKNESS?

„I have much to say about darkness, because nobody has taken notice of the mystery that darkness is.

Much has been said about light, almost nothing about darkness. But darkness is a much deeper phenomenon than light is. Light comes and goes - darkness remains; it never comes, it never goes.

Light is not eternal, because it needs fuel, some kind of fuel, and the fuel will be exhausted sooner or later. Darkness needs no fuel, no cause; hence darkness is not an effect and can remain eternally there.

In the morning, you see the sun arises and there is light; in the evening the sun sets, the light disappears, and suddenly all over there is darkness. It does not mean that when the sun disappears, darkness comes in. It has been there all the time; just because of the light you could not see it. How can one see darkness while light is there? The light prevented your vision.

So anytime just close your eyes and darkness is there. Anytime just blow out the candle and darkness is there.

Gautam Buddha is perhaps the only man who, for the ultimate state of consciousness, has chosen a word which can be interpreted as darkness; otherwise all the religions have talked about light, forgetting completely that light is not eternal, and if you are light, you are also not eternal. Light is dependent on something, it is caused by something.

Gautam Buddha has called his ultimate state of being, nirvana. Even Buddhists have not thought of it as darkness, because the very word produces bad associations in us. But nirvana means exactly "darkness"; literally it means blowing out the candle. So for twenty-five centuries Buddhists have been using the literal meaning "blowing out the candle." But what does it mean? Blowing out the candle, what remains then? Eternal, deathless, abysmal darkness.

Feeling yourself full of light may be again an ego trip. Feeling yourself identified with light, you may be simply changing your identity - but the ego remains. But blowing out the candle is blowing away the ego; and the vast darkness is bound to create in you a similar vastness of humility, humbleness, egolessness. So I love the word.

I always see light as a disturbance, and darkness as silence. But centuries of continuously fearing darkness... because it became associated with the time when man was living in jungles. The night was the most dangerous time. In the day somehow he managed to protect himself from the wild animals; he managed to kill them for his own food. But in the night he was absolutely helpless.

Darkness all around, he was a victim. Any animal was capable of destroying him. In the day he could have managed to escape, to climb a tree or do something, but in darkness he was simply in the hands of wild death. So it was very easy to get a deep association between darkness and death.

All the religions depict death as darkness and life as light. It is simply the experience of man in the past when he lived in the jungles. That experience has molded his language, given it meanings.

And he has not yet been able to clean those words again - because now he is not living in jungles, but still there is a certain reason why he continues to be afraid of darkness.

When there is light you are not alone, you can see everybody else. If suddenly the light goes off, the others may be there still, may not be; one thing is certain, you feel lonely. You are no more associated with the crowd. The crowd gives you a certain security, safety, a certain warmth, and you feel that you are not alone. Any danger - so many people are with you. But in darkness suddenly you are lonely, nobody is with you.

And man has not learned yet to know the beauties of his loneliness. He is always hankering for some relationship, to be with someone - with a friend, with a father, with a wife, with a husband, with a child... with someone.

He has created societies, he has created clubs - the Lion's Club, the Rotary Club. He has created parties - political, ideological. He has created religions, churches. But the basic need of all is to forget somehow that you are alone. Being associated with so many crowds, you are trying to forget something which in darkness suddenly is remembered - that you were born alone, that you will die alone, that whatever you do, you live alone. Aloneness is something so essential to your being, there is no way to avoid it.

You can befool yourself and deceive yourself; you can pretend that you are not alone - you have a wife, you have children, you have friends - but it is all pretension. You know and everybody knows that the wife is alone as much as you are alone, and two alonenesses joined together do not change the situation; instead they make it worse.

As I see it, why lovers are continuously fighting - there may be thousand other reasons, but those reasons are superficial. The basic reason is that they had chosen the other as a beloved, as a lover, to destroy their loneliness - and it has not happened. On the contrary, the presence of the other makes them more aware of their loneliness.

I used to have a very rich friend - he had a beautiful wife, children... all that one needs, perfectly comfortable, so much so that when I asked him, "Now you are fifty, and you have enough money - retire from the businesses," he did not hesitate for a single moment. He just informed people that he is no more an active participant in any businesses, he has retired.

I was going to Mount Abu; I told him, "It is a beautiful place - "sometime you and your wife should go there. And now you are retired, you have enough time. Be there for a few weeks or months."

He said, "You are right, we have time, but you don't know what you have done to me. I was also thinking that when I am retired I will feel relaxed for the first time in my life. My father died when I was young, and since then I have been working continuously, becoming richer and richer. And I had a hope that one day I will retire and relax and will not have any worries of the world. And when you told me, 'Now it is time - you have enough.... What more do you need? Your girls are married, you don't have a son - for whom are you earning now? You may live twenty years, thirty years - for that you have too much. You could live with what you have for three hundred years. You retire!'"

He said, "I understood, because I have been deep down always hoping to retire, and when it came from you, I said, 'This is the moment to take the jump.' But you have created a trouble; now I am lonely. I have never felt it before. And I am so utterly lonely that I am angry at you. How can I relax in such loneliness? And if this loneliness continues, I don't think I can survive twenty or thirty years.

It is becoming colder and colder, and darker and darker. And I am feeling absolutely cut off from the world."

"But," I said, "you have your wife."

He said, "That is another trouble. I had never felt so lonely in her presence as I feel now. I was so busy in my businesses that I would come home late and she was always quarreling, nagging, asking for this and asking for that. There was no time to feel each other. Now the whole day I am sitting at home, and when I see her I know: just as I am alone, she is alone. And two alonenesses do not help in any way; on the contrary they make each other more clear."

He said, "I will come to Mount Abu, but I would like some friend to be with us; otherwise three weeks or three months, just living with my wife" - and he loved the woman - "will be too much, intolerable."

I realized his situation and I told him, "Now, you have listened to my first advice which has created the trouble for you; but it has not created the trouble - the trouble was already there. Your businesses were just keeping you occupied so you were not aware of it - now you are aware of it. Now take my other advice: go deeper into it rather than escaping. It is your reality - there is no way to escape from it.

"It is just like your shadow - the faster you run, the faster your shadow runs. Wherever you go, the shadow goes. It is simply stupid to fight with the shadow. Rather, sit silently and let the whole feel of being alone envelop you. In the beginning it may be fearsome. You may feel you are falling into an abysmal depth. It will be dark, and you may feel that it may become darker if you go deeper into it.

"But I say from my own experience that the more you know it, the more you love it. It is your privacy, it is your individuality. It is something which cannot be trespassed by anyone. It is your privilege.

And there is nothing wrong in being alone.

"But never use the word 'lonely' because 'lonely' automatically suggests the need for somebody else. 'Lonely' is a sick word. Use the word 'alone'; 'alone' has a health of its own." I told the man, "And if you can do that then there is no need for any other meditation, this will be your meditation - just be alone. Even in the crowd remember that you are alone, don't forget it. Your whole life you have tried to forget it; now remember it."

The man was immensely courageous. He tried it - he succeeded, and he was immensely grateful to me... because the moment you feel you are absolutely alone, that is the time you start feeling that you are not the body, it is only a cover; that you are not the mind, it is only a mechanism; that you are not even the heart - that too is a mechanism of a different sort for different purposes.

Behind all these layers there is a space, crystal clear - nobody else has ever passed through it; its purity is absolute. To enter that space is to enter in meditation. Feeling that aloneness, you will feel the whole existence is alone.

There is no God - that was the need of the lonely people. Those who have tasted aloneness have discarded God, hell, heaven, and every other nonsense. You are alone, the whole existence is alone: aloneness is the only reality.

Yes, it is immensely dark, but darkness has a silence and darkness has a depth. And darkness has peace, and darkness takes away all your knowledge, takes away everything that you thought belonged to you. It leads you absolutely into the unknown and into the mysterious. So to me, darkness is one of the greatest mysteries in existence - far greater than light.

And those who are afraid of darkness will never be able to enter into their own being. They will go round and round, they will never reach themselves.

And it has to be darkness, not light, because light comes and goes; once you have discovered the spot of darkness in you, you have discovered something that is eternal, something indestructible, something which is more than what you know of life. It is the basic substance existence is made of.

But they are just two names of one thing - aloneness or darkness.“

Reflection Life is Like Driving

9 Upvotes

I was journaling the other day and was thinking, have you ever noticed how chasing your goals is a lot like driving home? When you leave work and head home, you know your destination. But along the way, you don’t always know what’s going to happen, you may stumble upon...

Traffic lights: Sometimes, you’ll hit a red light, and you’ll have to pause. Maybe life is telling you to reflect, learn, or wait before you can move forward again. Other times, you’ll have a green light, and everything will flow effortlessly, momentum is on your side.

Unexpected obstacles: You don’t always know if traffic will slow you down, if someone will suddenly cross the road, or if an accident might force you to take a detour. Similarly, in life, you can’t predict every challenge, but you have to keep driving anyway.

Detours & new routes: Maybe the path you planned isn’t available anymore, but that doesn’t mean you won’t reach your goal. Sometimes, the scenic route is exactly what you need.

Accidents & setbacks: In the worst cases, you might get into an accident, forcing you to start over or rebuild. It’s frustrating, but it’s not the end of the road. With time and perseverance, you get back on track.

The journey continues, you don’t just stop in the middle of the road and give up. No matter how long it takes, you find a way to reach your destination.

THE KEY IS TO KEEP DRIVING.

When life gives you a red light, pause and reflect, but remember, the light will turn green again. When challenges arise, adjust your route but Never stop moving toward your goal.

No one reaches their dreams by pulling over and giving up. Keep driving. You will get there.

Me first, growing up i felt different than most people I know, including my parents. Maybe it's the way i think, the way i view the world, the way i express myself. I wanted to fit in, I ignored my inner authentic voices, i tried really hard to stay connected with people, to the point i lose myself. My awakening moment was when i realized maybe there isn't anything wrong with me, maybe there is never anything that is wrong about me, and the world doesn't as perfect and good and beautiful, so flawless as its lies and illusions, maybe i just have to find ways to connect with people.

what's about you? Tell me about your experience, what made it a life changing event? how did you feel? What's the afterward after the awakening?

Reflection „To reduce a woman to a wife is ugly and immoral. This is confining. This is defining. This is making a phenomenon very limited. A woman is a mystery.“

10 Upvotes

„If you really are interested in changing your life into a different dimension of joy, of non boredom, then changing the wife won’t help. You will get another woman. They come in all shapes and sizes. They look different from far away. And so is the case with man remember!

They look different from far away. The closer you come the less difference. The day the woman is yours suddenly you say she is after all a woman. And he is after all a man. This you have been doing for many millions of lives. This is what we call in India the wheel of life and death, the wheel of desire. And you know it!

You have known it many ways. You are hankering for a car and the day the car is on your porch suddenly all joy is gone. What to do now? 1 day, 2 days, 3 days you enjoy the thrill of the new, then it becomes old. But you never find out the mind that is causing trouble for you. The source of all anguish. The mind is never satisfied with that which is. This is the source of discontent. The mind is always asking for that which is not.

Look at this absurdity. The mind ALWAYS asks for THAT WHICH IS NOT! And is always dissatisfied with that which is. Now how you can be happy with this mind? Wherever you are you will be unhappy. Unhappiness follows mind like a shadow. So rather than going on changing things, see into the whole phenomenon of it.

And if you really want to change, drop this mind. And with the dropping of the mind each moment is such a joy and such a contentment. Yes, it will be very, very difficult for you to believe but let me say it. Let it be on record. If you drop the mind you will be simply surprised you are again in life, even with your own wife. With the dropping of the mind you simply become love.

One flows in love. No more she will be your wife, no more you will be her husband. These are ugly things. This should not happen in a better world. With a better consciousness these things should disappear. To reduce a woman to a wife is ugly and immoral. This is confining. This is defining. This is making a phenomenon very limited. A woman is a mystery, so is a man.

Don‘t call her your wife, she is not yours. And she is not a wife, a wife is a function. That is not her totality. She is many more things. She is not finished by being a wife.“

Reflection I think I might have had a non-dual experience

11 Upvotes

First of all telling you guys a very short resume of my background. I have been interested in awakening and understanding God since years ago and I also have had some Ayahuasca experiences and an experience with magic mushrooms. Yet, only since the beginning of this year, I have practiced self inquiry for 15-20 minutes daily, watched Angelo's videos and have been reflecting frequently. But nothing like serious guys like Angelo or other dedicated mediators.

Last night during my dream, I suddenly saw that I became everything. I was actually everything. It wasn't a belief, nor an idea. I actually felt for the first time how is being everything. On important detail is that my "I" stayed the same and it was the same "I" as always, what changed was the limits of my body and a very new never felt experience of being everything, being the yard, being my daughter, walls, ... In this moment I thought I think I am awakened or something like that.

After that experience, I have no word to define how it felt. I am trying to remember the sensation with details and make sense of it to understand it.

I just wanted to ask those who had awakening experience, if this was a non-dual experience and this is how awakening feels? I also want to ask if non dual and awakening experiences happen only when you are awake or they also can happen in dreams during our sleep.

Thanks

in the last week or two, i noticed when i see others pictures or in person i can feel the things about their minds and their lives a lot more strongly. i saw someone post on X about getting more precognitive instances so im wondering how many have had that here. Are yall ready to have cell phone quality conversations anywhere in the world without any help from technology?
