Eternal Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Ok so can you recommend any good books or anything? Whenver I am reading books now, it just all seems like concepts and untruth I suppose is there anything you can recommend reading when it comes to realising truth? There's almost like not really wanting to do personal development or educate myself anymore because I am already perfect as I am. I want to learn super natural powers and clairvoyance and stuff... or see if I have an ability to do it.. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 After what? Psychic powers are not something you can learn, they are intrinsic to What You Really Are. Empty out all ego, embrace all trauma, the more obvious it will become. I don’t even know who is writing this 😂 Maybe you don’t really wanna be reading a book, you wanna be reading minds 😋 All you’re gonna find in a book is more concepts, the only place you are gonna find Truth is yourself.

Blessed2 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) ACIM. If too hard to read, an introductory book. https://acim.org/acim/en/ If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 🙂 Edited January 12, 2023 by Blessed2 Quote Mention There must be an effortless way.

What exactly is it? If you could just explain what it is about, I assume the title says it all? Is it not more for realizing you can create anything where as some are not aware of that potentiality..? Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @Eternal 2 words, shadow work. There's a honeymoon phase often after Awakening to being Infinite Awareness, then it's like oh shit there's still coping mechanisms, reactivity, etc. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @Eternal I may be totally wrong but a good feeling analogy came up. Awakening is like turning on the light in your garage, Self Realization aka No Self is when the garage is emptied out. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a honeymoon phase often after Awakening to being Infinite Awareness, then it's like oh shit there's still coping mechanisms, reactivity, etc. There is no need. There simply is awareness of objective experience and every experience is unconditional love. There is not particularly a self to do any shadow work 😅. I like Rupert Spira's analogy. Awakening is like unplugging the fan but the fan will keep going for a while after unplugging it, slowly slowing down, getting rid of the mind-body identification on which I have been so used to.

I only suggested shadow work since the question was asked "what now after self recognition?" I think and this is my opinion, that when self realization unfolds and no self is truly realized, there will be no more questions regarding awakening or what to do afterwards.

Really recommend reading the textbook first. Though the workbook might help with "grasping" it. "Paradox". Maybe both at the same time? Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard is pretty good for introduction, though keep an open mind and remember it's "just a map". Also, keep your shitting pants close, cause you might shit your pants. 😂 25 minutes ago, Eternal said: What exactly is it? If you could just explain what it is about, I assume the title says it all? It's "about" nonduality; not-two. From what I've come across, probably one of the books with most clarity. Super helpful for me. It shows how you create bullshit, and how to undo the bullshit. 38 minutes ago, Eternal said: Is it not more for realizing you can create anything where as some are not aware of that potentiality..? Yes / no. There is no "others". But yeah, you create every thing. Truth just be's the Truth, whereas falsehood needs a symbol (form, appearance, perception of).

I suppose it is my subjective experience but I have only been feeling unconditional love since around the 19th of December or somewhat. Lost perception of time. There is no 'me' in a sense communicating. Almost like life is simply communicating through me without any kind of wanting to force some kind of agenda. So you could say it is kind of relatively new to me. Lol at the beginning I was communicating to other's what I am experiencing but they were all trying to grasp it within the mind. There is not really a sense of trying to be anyone.. I want to help others with their suffering... sometime.. after all, creation takes place within me, Right. Kind of strange because so called the past I was experiencing extreme suffering now I live in absolute freedom without any constraints whatsoever.. Like I could be any character within the movie. I have the complete and utter freedom to choose what character I wish to be. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @Eternal no worries and enjoy the peace of knowing you're infinite awareness. Its just that from what I've heard from several "enlightened people" is that upon the no self realization, pretty much everything is over. There's a finality to it. But everyone's path is also unique. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone's path is also unique. There is just being I suppose, in the conditional love that we all share. I had a belief for a long time that I needed to get enlightened in order to achieve some 'enlightened state' but that was just more activity of thoughts I suppose... There is actually no self realization, that was a concept that had to be dropped. It's a process of peeling back instead of adding on if that makes sense. It's really all just thought activity within the eternal now. How's your path going 🙂 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orb Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @Eternal my path is great. Crashing and burning, growing wings and flying to the heavens, then crashing and burning again. Tremendous shadow work going on. Exploring emotions even though it's hard, being more honest with people, facing fears, learning to allow love from people.

I'd recommend Byron Katie's book - Loving what is if you have not read it already 🙂 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
