Awakening is the realization that far more can be found in direct experience than any concept, belief system, or narrative. The process of awakening is an ever-unfolding one, a deepening of that which is beyond all words and thoughts. We are in service of discovering that for ourselves.

On my daily commute, I try to keep my self in the now. When I am at a light or something, I will take notice of my breathing or something sometimes even external. This morning I caught my self thinking about a friend who had passed a couple of years ago. Then, I found my self thinking about the thought I was thinking, and then started thinking about figuring out why I started thinking about that in the first place. Then I realized I was thinking about something, then thinking about the thought, as well as thinking about the thinking of that thought. The awareness was there the whole time, it just took the thinking of the thinking of the thought that made me realize that I could stop doing that now.
My movie is pretty crazy. About to turn into Superman soon. I have an idea of what it would be like but not sure.
I’ve been reflecting a lot on balance lately—how our inner worlds of energy (the ball of warmth I feel moving within me, perhaps my microbiome’s hymn) connect to the outer forces of technology, society, and policy. It’s fascinating how these forces intertwine, struggling for harmony while shaping our shared reality.
One thing I’ve learned through this journey is the power of ritual—not as a rigid rule, but as a gentle invitation from yourself to yourself. Meditation, for me, is this gift. I carve out a few minutes each day for “me” time, where “me” is my body. It’s a time to simply be. To feel. To listen.
I’d like to extend this invitation to you: What does your daily practice look like? Share it if you feel inspired, but know there’s no need to rigidly adhere to anything. Flow freely day by day if that feels right. The practice isn’t about the form—it’s about being present with yourself, however that manifests.
And yet, as much as I value personal growth, I also feel called to step into the fire and engage with larger, collective issues. One conversation we must stop avoiding is the need for Universal Basic Income (UBI).
I hope we’ve moved past debating why UBI is necessary. If we recognize our unity and equality, it becomes clear: UBI is about patching capitalism to align incentives and create a system that works for all. Blockchain technology has shown us the power of decentralized, robust systems—ones that adapt and multiply even under suppression. Bitcoin’s resilience wasn’t about a coin; it was about an idea too powerful to be stopped.
Our world has hostile actors—assume so by default. If you want to know who? Follow the money. But let’s not focus on blame; we are all shaped by our pasts, including our violent tendencies. These, too, can be overcome, if we agree on a direction of less violence and a recognition of equal worth for all.
To me, UBI feels like a spiritual imperative. It’s a step toward honoring that unity and equality we claim to value. Sure, I could sit in meditation and let waves of bliss undulate through my body (and sometimes I do). But balance calls for action. For courage. For starting the conversation so many prefer to avoid.
What are your thoughts? Can we, together, move this conversation forward and shift the group sizes toward those who see UBI not as a debate, but as a necessary evolution of our shared humanity?
I figured out the joke but I forgot. I am everyone and everything, everyone is in on it. I don’t get it. It was scary to realize it. When I was high it became more and more clear but then I didn’t like the joke so I sobered up to get away from that truth. I am two things just interacting with each other. I can not explain it. As I was dying everything became scary and the music was playing making fun of me as I put a dunce cap on myself. The noises, the feeling, what I was seeing was everything. I can’t explain it, this is all a cosmic joke. Please someone help me explain. All my bad trips is me realizing it and wanting to get away from it. Every negative experience that I run away from is me running away from the joke. I then try to act like I don’t know the joke but deep down inside I know it and then everything becomes pleasant again as I go further and further away from the joke. Someone please help explain what I am talking about, I am crying but not in a bad way. What is happening.
Edit: just took a shower and laughed for a long time. I am able to experience everything, experience myself! I am able to feel warmth, cold, joy, sadness, I am the universe experiencing everything and this is my playground. I am currently laughing and crying. Why have I been so ungrateful all this time, I can feel my fingers tapping my screen. I can feel the towel wrapped around me. All those times I decided to not do something because I was shy was just me neglecting myself from experiencing those moments I have always wanted to. I am everything and am experiencing life again. Life is beautiful. Why have I been worried over nonsense my entire life, I feel free!
if you want to reach the "end", it's by stopping on chasing your own shadow, and you have to realize that everything is connected to your godly shoes, and the more you walk with godly shoes the more it'd appear like there's something you have to step through in order to see it, but there's nothing more to see, and there's nothing more to chase, it's like stepping on someone's legs and wondering why it hurts when it starts walking, there's only "Zen", and there's nothing here more to it, it's an infinite world that's interconnected to you, and the more you fall the more you'll rise up to see that it's just "you" here, and only "you".
you're creating your own enemies and your own friends.
you are god in your own sanctuary.
Hello all,
I felt it was important to post about this topic, as many have asked about it. In 2014, I began working as an energetic surgeon, and learned about the effect of attachments. At this time where we are feeling the need to release what does not serve, and to bring harmony and balance to ourselves and to our lives, energetic decording can help a lot. Although we have non-physical assistance, this process can be done by ourselves, and I find that it is empowering and healing on many levels. If you have any questions, please let me know, and I will be happy to help.
One of the largest contributors to physical, emotional, and psychological depletion is energetic cording. Whenever we have a relationship with another person, whether it is with a parent, spouse, partner, sibling, friend, coworker, or another, we create energetic cording between ourselves and the other party. Energetic cords look like tubes that are connected from one person to another, and sometimes from one person to an entire group (such as a family unit or ancestry). Cording can go from any part of the energy body to any part of another's, for example, I have viewed cording between someone's head and another's head (thought transmission involving mental manipulation and judgement) as well as many other configurations, such as from one person's throat to another's solar plexus (transmissions of disempowering energies and also siphoning of another's power). The combinations of cording attachments is infinite, but always created by thought transfer.
As thoughts are tangible structures, each contain a specific vibrational frequency and energetic charge. When you have a thought about someone, that thought goes to the person, it does not disappear. And, depending on the emotional charge of the thought (positive, negative, or neutral), the thought will go through the cording to that person and integrate within their field, or it will dissipate. Over time, repeated transmissions of thoughts can create structures within yourself or another person, called "thoughtforms," which are clusters of thought energy that can shape one's perceptions and impede health. That is why it is very important to be vigilant about the thoughts we transmit, and the vibration of them, as they create.
Cords are also created by our beliefs, and are attached to thoughforms anchored in the 4th dimension. These thoughtforms are conglomerations of thoughts of the same belief and vibration, transmitted by every human on the planet with the same perception. Thoughtforms exist for anything to which humans believe and fear, so if one recognizes a belief or fear that is causing suffering, one can also decord from that thoughtform as well. For example, if you have a fear of heights or of an animal, you can decord from that fear. And you can also decord from an illness or addiction, and this release can help you to heal.
Energetic cording transmits thought energy to others, and it can also siphon as well. If you are attached to someone who is codependent, they can be continually siphoning your life force via your shared cording, which can create a host of physical issues for yourself, most especially depletion within the solar plexus, which includes physical weakness, exhaustion, stomach, intestine, and colon issues, and many other manifestations. Siphoning can also create headaches, lack of focus, and various other conditions, depending on where the cording is attached.
Decording can make a world of difference in our existence, as afterward we can rebalance and get to know our authentic self, without interference from others' thoughts and perceptions, and also life force siphoning. We regain strength and sovereignty. The results can be permanent and create a lot of healing, if we are willing to also reevaluate our relationships and to not accept anyone into our life who will take energetic advantage. Creating strong boundaries is essential to maintaining health and vibrational integrity. The higher our vibration, the better our health and clearer our spiritual perception. It is also equally important that we evaluate our own programming and clear what is not supportive, so we do not attract others into our life that mirror our own issues. Working on clearing ourselves after decording is always helpful and highly recommended, because the patterning we carry within is what expresses itself in all aspects of our daily life and relationships.
If you choose to decord yourself from another person, it is helpful that you intuit whether permission is first needed from their higher self, as we all contract our relationships with others at the "higher" levels. The physical person does not have to be asked, but you can make a request of their higher self, and then feel (or hear) a response. If you receive that the decording has been agreed upon, then go ahead with the process. If you feel any concern, then it may be best to wait until you feel a pull to ask again.
Sometimes decording can be done without asking for permission, for example if there is trauma involved and to stand in your power, you feel the need to immediately detach from another person. Also, permission is not needed to decord from mass consciousness belief and fear thoughtforms.
Please note that decording only removes energetic distortions, and the genuine love you may have in the relationship is not affected. So, if you intend the relationship to continue, decording can provide an opening for this love to be experienced and reflected more authentically.
Below is a statement that you can use to decord. You can use the statement alone, or if you would like, use it in addition to visualizing the release. By visualizing, see yourself and the other party attached, and then with holding a large pair of scissors, cut the cording from toe to head, while saying the statement. Either way is effective, either visualizing or not, so please do what intuitively resonates. I suggest you do this release in a quiet state, where there are no distractions, a state of peace and calm. And do it in a state of knowing, where you know all is cleared.
After the release, you may experience a clearing of the energies, either immediately or over time. If you feel emotional, tired, or anything different from how you usually feel, try to move through the feelings and observe them, instead of attaching to them, as this will prevent re-cording. Trusting and having confidence that all is released, is important.
"I now hereby permanently sever, cut, release, and remove all energetic cording, banding, attachments, and 4th dimensional thoughtforms connecting me to (a person, a belief, a fear, an addiction, or a past life)____________. I state that all vows, contracts, agreements, and karma are now null and void, and completed. I take back all power I have given to _________ and I take back all power __________ may have taken from me, and declare that now I regain and contain all power that is mine and inherent to me. I release and clear all energetic imprints, charges, and programming within my entire being I may have received from ________, and release and clear all programming within my mind and subconscious mind that __________may have transmitted to me, and declare I am now completely free and clear of any and all energetic distortions throughout my entire being, transmitted from ________ to me. I now state that I am free and sovereign, and am no longer attached to ________ in any way, shape or form. I am completely clear right now, and so it is.”

Hi I am a spiritual youtuber. I am looking for others in the niche to maybe create a discord group and give each other feedback about our videos. Sometimes I feel like I need to step away from my own biases and get a fresh take on what I am doing. Please reply if you are interested.
They - the ones who wage war on truth, on OUR truth.
They - the ones who deceive us, who weave their lies into the fabric of our lives.
They - the ones responsible for our suffering and misery.
They - who thrive while we struggle.
They - the ones who hold the reins of control, bending the world to serve their power and greed.
They are the enemy.
Who are THEY?
So many people settle for what's "good enough", but that is mediocrity. That is bowing down to external forces instead of being a force of Excellence.
Without resilience, you are a puppet in the wind; a jellyfish with no backbone. You either are succumbing to conformity or you are championing non-conformity. Surrendering to peer pressure is the opposite of spirituality because non-duality is when there is nothing to surrender to.
Non-duality is the One without Other. It doesn't conform. It is the Ultimate rebel. It is Truth and it is not only above the law, but it is the reason laws are made, which is to protect Its sovereign status on Earth. There is no greater Master than Truth because everything else is inferior and the true hierarchy of power is proportional to Its proximity.
Anyone else experience this or have resources? It’s difficult to put into words.
I was just reminded of Helen Keller's incredible story. I was uplifted and inspired by this story of triumph over challenges (as I always am when I think of her). I wanted to put this out there for anyone who may also benefit.
I believe that both can provide enlightenment. What do you all think?
If you go 100% selfish then you can be awakened and stand alone in your reality. This has been my experience on religious/spiritual matters because I come from the Mormon cult.
Altruism. A much more beautiful approach but can lead to people pleasing and ding things for others out of guilt, or to feel the reward, to have the label of being a helper. In my opinion this is a lower form of self.
Let me know, what’s best and how do you interface with reality!?
There is no Self. The idea of there being a separate Self is an illusion. Because the human mind bases its interpretation of reality on mental images. We think in words. We think in ideas. We think in concepts.
No thought, word or concept can grasp the uniqueness of all things, nor can it capture the infinity of the whole. Because words are separating by nature, whereas physical reality is interconnected.
Everything can only ever exist in relationship to its environment. There couldn't be a tree without water, soil and carbon-dioxide. There couldn't be a wave without the ocean. There couldn't be an animal without the plant. There couldn't be an individual without the collective. There wouldn't be an idea of ME, without the idea of YOU. Nothing exists independently from the rest of Everything.
There is only ONE THING. The Entirety of Everything. The Universe.
We perceive reality and filter it through our systems of language and concepts. Which distorts our observation of what is.
In our mind we create the image of the 'tree', as a word, a concept or an idea. But it's not the actual physical tree, which you can touch, see and smell. Because the word 'tree' can't capture it's molecular structure. The word can only categorize it as a tree, it can't describe it's entirety of being. The words is just a limited representation of the actual physical object.
Zoom deep in. Is there a physical line, separating the tree from the air? No, there are just carbon dioxide molecules and oxygen molecules floating within a field of emptiness. But there is no border, no wall separating them. It all happens within the same space. The same field of consciousness.
And so the idea of there being a separate Self, is just as much of an illusion, as the idea of there being independent things, separate from everything. Because ideas are always absolute, unchanging concepts, whereas actual physical things are impermanent in nature. The Self thinks of itself as something firm, as a continuation of something fixed. But it changes all the time. The body completely restructures itself after 7 years. Thoughts change. The identity changes. With new memories added, the Self-Image mutates.
The SELF is a mental concept and it is contradictory in its very nature.
But saying that the “SELF doesn't exist” is quite misleading.
It does exist as a MENTAL CONSTRUCT. Because where else does the SELF dwell, other than thought? The Self is a construct of the mind, built out of memories. Memories of knowledge and information. Memories of recorded past experiences. It identifies itself with outside things. The SELF is maintained by the continuation of memory and thought. The SELF is programmed and conditioned in accordance to culture, religion and education.
The Self is nothing Physical, the Self is nothing graspable. And yet it's very much REAL. The Self exists only in thoughts and thoughts are powered by the neurons of the brain, using physical energy.
Similar to how we can project images on our screens, powering them with energy, we can project images in our mind. Our Imagination is like the Desktop Screen of the mind.
Just as the Software of a computer might not be physical but still a real actual thing, so is the construct of the SELF still real. Only through it's SELF, one can operate within the made up systems of language, through which we share information.
Most people who read this, are already past the point of realizing the Non-Dual Nature of Reality and becoming aware of the illusory Nature of the Self. It seems however, that after making it to this point many soon after fall into a common pitfall of the Ego:
Believing that this realization alone will end the mechanisms of Self.
Realizing that the SELF is a made-up construct is indeed a profound achievement. You'll stop taking it so seriously. It's easier for you to stop identifying with your thoughts and feelings, when you are aware, that they all operate within an illusion.
But just because you stop identifying with the conscious aspects of the Self, this alone won't be enough to stop it's mechanisms acting through you. There is still an ego, no matter if you believe in it or not. It won't just dissolve from shattering the illusion.
Because it is much more intricate, much more subtle. Whenever you shine a light on the ego, it takes a new hiding spot to cover. Only when you see your full consciousness; The hidden as well as the obvious, the lower as well as the higher, the inner as well as the outer; Only when you shine your light on your full consciousness, can you see the Ego and understand it fully. And then you need to keep it disciplined, to be aware of it, every single waking moment of your life. As soon as you are inattentive, it acts through you.
As soon as you look away, the Ego will try another one of its shenanigans.
You see, the very moment you tell yourself, that you are free from ego, you are already back in EGO mode. Because who are you actually trying to convince that you are free of EGO, other than Yourself?
As long as there are thoughts, there will be an Ego.
You can try to get rid of thoughts, but as soon as you are in contact with the sphere of language you'll be back in thoughts. You only ever can be free from thoughts in THE NOW MOVEMENT. You may prolong your stay there, but you will eventually need to move back into thought to manage paying your bills. Or when you want to understand something conceptually.
Thought itself is not the enemy. It's just that it's full potential as a tool is rarely ever utilized.
Through meditation, you can silence your thoughts. Decreasing the energy spent on useless thoughts. Ending the useless chattering and only listening to beneficial thoughts.
Through inner alchemy, you can transform your thought patterns. Exchanging limiting beliefs with beneficial ones. Turning Self-Centered thoughts, into thoughts that flow in harmony with the universe.
Through Forgiveness you can heal emotional wounds and Traumas, that hold you back. Through observation you can discern between the truth and the lie. By letting go, you can rid yourself of attachments, which make you suffer. By surrendering you can allow Life to happen for you.
In the End, the greatest antidote to the EGO is LOVE.
Don't get me wrong – When I speak of Love, I don't mean like people sitting in circles and singing Kumbaya. I don't speak of romanticism or sentimentality. I speak of that, which is beyond the PERSONAL “I AM”. I believe the Greeks called it “Agape”.
This Love is, when the SELF is not. When there is no attachment, to anything, then there is LOVE. Without preference. Without fear or desire. Without comparison. Without condition. Without judgment. Without a single thought wasted on the 'ME' and it's little worries. Just the pure connection to the ALL.
Love is not to be found in the past nor in the future. It is only here in the NOW. It cannot be grasped, it's neither yours nor mine. Love just is. It was always there and you can either turn away from the light or face it head on.
When you stand on a mountain and look down into a valley, observing the beauty of Nature. In that Moment, when no thought floats through your mind. When there is this absolute silence. Just You and the Beauty of Life. When there is this humble reverence. This is Love. The Love of the universe grant you such a great gift, as Life on Earth.
When you say or do something nice to a Stranger, without seeking any return. This is Love.
When you follow your passions and your joys without any attachment. This is Love.
When you do the right thing, even if that means that you are losing. This is Love.
When you tell the truth, even when it hurts. This is Love.
When you listen to or play beautiful music and become one with it. This is Love.
When you help someone out, who needs your help. This is Love.
When you feed wild animals or water the plants with care. This is Love.
When there is nothing holding you back, from being authentic to who you are. This is Love.
When you forgive those, who hurt you. This is Love.
When you try to understand the perspective of both your friend and your enemy. This is Love.
When there is no fear, there is Love. When there is no Self, there is Love.
When there is no thought, wasting energy thinking about 'Me' or 'You', then there is Love.
Like an unstoppable wave, like a force of Nature, Love sweeps over the world, washing away all the corruption of the Self. Igniting something within the hearts of many.
You seek release from the bondage of Self? You want to be free from the shackles of the Ego? Then go find Love, if you haven't already.
Because Love has always been the answer.
Greetings! Hope everyone is doing well this holiday season.
Often times the holidays can be an emotional season filled with both love and remorse. I wanted to post this as a reminder to all.
People in this world often times get lost when trying to find themselves. However, at the end of the day, people are just trying to be okay. They do it however they can, in a spiritual manner, worldly manner, in a financial manner, a relationship manner, they can cheat, lie, steal, give to others, all in an effort to be “okay.”
Its not easy to live in this world. And so people struggle to be okay. The problem is that they don’t pay attention to what being “okay” actually means. They think that their work lies outside so that they can feel a certain way inside. They change their job so they can make more money so they can buy a nicer car. Why? Because they think that will make them feel “okay.” They lack love inside so they find a relationship they get into a relationship and tell that person to do things so that they feel the love inside. It’s not that way. It’s never been that way. They look for ways outside to change how they feel inside. And that doesnt work, it’s not wrong, it just doesnt work.
What even is being okay? Being okay is that inside, you’re not struggling, suffering, or scared you’re not feeling jealous or anxious ect. You’re just okay inside. You’re not TRYING to be okay, you ARE okay, that’s what being okay means. Thats the bottom line. You’re either working on inside being okay or youre working outside to have stimuli take place so you can be okay.
The world has absolutely nothing at all to do with you. Don’t try to make what is already amazing the way you want it, you will struggle your entire life trying to make this happen. There maybe time you succeed in changing whats outside, but how long does it last? How long after you win a million dollars do you want to spend it? Because you’re not happy with the money itself?
Wishing you the best. You’re a very great being, do not waste what time you have here chasing shadows.
Hi everyone,
To keep it short, for around 3 years I've compiled quotes and excerpts from different traditions, which I felt helped me on the path, and now I wanted to share it with you. You can download it in PDF and EPUB formats here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/u8pig2mn98p6rhw80p9nj/AFVAfdO4YJYvcUh8BBgtPCc?rlkey=njq230ho4dxwu8ajea77mhiak&st=qugryitn&dl=0
Why am I sharing it in this subreddit?
I think most people here share a very similar purpose: figuring out what "this" is, seeking an understanding of oneself and the world — in other words, a pursuit of Truth. The document was compiled with the intention to aid that purpose, initially as a private document which, having been appreciated by others, led me to expanding it to eventually share.
In it you will find texts by many who have walked "the path", such as Huang Po, Ramana Maharshi, Rumi, Foyan, Nisargadatta Maharaj, J. Krishnamurti and many others.
If this interests you, the introduction and table of contents will do a better job at explaining the contents. I hope it's useful.
So in my opinion I choose to come here me and my higherself or my higherself as me here and now Here is the case i went through heroic <psy/quantum trip> and I fucked up with the universe and myself and my soul, also got away from people. Disconnection and fallouts happend and mylife started fixing it self back , but in weird way that I didnt feel, but yeah I was consious as I could. Shadows
(maybe it is not real or fanatsy) were fighting me to the ground through people speically through thoughts and orders eventually feeling emotional weakness and empty from inside.
I learned a a lot and grew wiser, but I just wanna get myself together and focus in a better away, alalso Wanna descuss in depth. Thank you fellow souls 🙏 ❤️ 💖
You did not know I was the greatest fool? That’s right, I listen to the haters. How stupid of me?! No. . . I truly care for all life. I do not believe in stupid. Sure I believe in low IQ. I do not like the derogation of the word stupid to call people out.
I have been the fool enough to understand what it feels like to do something stupid, be called out for it, and continue to make that mistake in the presence of the same people who called me out. I mean, look at how foolish I am for spending thousands of hours playing league of legends!
I was only ever able to be so foolish because of how godlike my father was. Did you know Jesus was not born through immaculate conception? Also Santa’s not real and CEOs do deserve the money they get. Sorry, how much pressure can you withstand? Probably can’t even send a letter by mail without crying. Anyways, Jesus had a father. There was sperm for Mary. Jesus’s father knew the only action he could take was not be present.
I want to take this moment to pay respect to all fathers on behalf of their privileged and spoiled children who think boredom is the greatest punishment in the world(like me!).
No matter how bad your father was to you, I truly believe that every father does try to make things better. This better does not mean freedom from physical abuse, it means less physical abuse.
I have gods integrity. I am the imposter opposition. My brain is so fluid I live a life that every human wants. Everything I am, have, and do is because of my father. A walking god.
Only a man who has satisfied all of their needs and can confidently satisfy their needs can transcend to godlihood.
I did not earn my father. . . There is nothing I did to deserve his prosperity. Maybe I was the fastest most fit sperm. Sure, I don’t remember that tho, but it’s still my spirit right? My spirit was present when I blasted from my fathers penis into my mothers eggs. Intrusive thoughts, remember? Stay tuned. . .
My integrity is what I deceive for. I deceive you and troll you to protect my integrity.
There is a light inside my soul that was present when I penetrated the egg as a sperm that is still present to this day.
I am a ferocious unstoppable force for empathy compassion agape love symbiosis and care.
I am an ezer kenegdo.
As two faced, and inconsistent as I am. As deep into the darkness as I confide.
As deep as the homicidal thoughts got.
I maintained my light. I held my other-consciousness(contrast this cool guy word with self consciousness).
AND HERE IS WHERE I CLAIM THE CREATION IF A NEW WORD. Other-conscious. Self conscious.
10 years ago I made a choice to be good rather than evil. I could feel evil knocking on my door. I could feel it coming and infesting my soul.
I am the epitome of the culminating balance between the intelligent complementary alternation between aggression and compassion.
I want to hurt you as I heal you.
I want to heal you as I hurt you.
MORE PAIN! MORE GAIN!!!!!
Do you want your healer to know fluidly how easily they could make a mistake and hurt you?
I do not want to hurt you. . . However I know in my heart, that if you speak to me for enough turns, your world will change. This change creates confusion and that opens the possibility for pain.
I have this magical mana that brims despite the lofty expenditures.
WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO WITH MY TIME?! I sit here with the choice of meditating, league, or random bullshit.
Am I just suppose to do therapy 40 hours a week now? Why? For money meaning, and skill development? BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE LOCKED UP! I do not want to give up my free time. I have thumbs designed to protect what I value and I value my free time over money meaning and skill development.
However, I still feel a guilt so crushing that I learned therapy. So I gotta do something for society.
I want to run a child’s psych unit. I want full control, but who’s going to give me that? Bruh, I’d have to jump through hoops that are years long for that. Also, I wouldn’t want to do anything as heroic as this without an equal who truly knows the extent of my omniscience.
I know I can do anything, but do I want to do anything? I’ve already done everything. I saved the princess, I conquered evil in myself, and others. Why can’t I just have fun now? I will only ever have fun now. . .
This post serves as a resolution between the dissonance between my personal and professional life.
But seriously. I am truly looking for ideas of what to do. If you have ideas tell them to me. If you don’t pay me respect, see what happens.
It doesn't matter what hand you picked to play "life", life doesn't really go anywhere, and it doesn't matter what you decide to become in it, there's no "ending" to life to subvert your expectations, and there will never come an ending to anything, life doesn't stop flowing, and chaos doesn't stop flowing, it doesn't matter how you decide to play with either one, and it doesn't matter what you decide to end, you are chasing your own tails and fighting your own shadows, there's nothing that exists, and there's no "end" to the pursuit, just like there's no end to suffering, you are free to play in whatever piece of mind that you want to play in/as, but ultimately the world doesn't stop moving no matter what you end up on becoming.. it doesn't matter if you're a "god" or not, you're not from this world.
you're free to break everything up, but ultimately there's no "harm" that can be done to the universe or the world, no matter how many nukes you decide to throw at it.. so instead of playing vs the world, it's time to play the world as the victim.

I have a very, very over-active mind. If I let myself go on autopilot, then my thoughts will run incessantly and become negative quickly. I'm new in my spirituality journey, and I know that mindfulness & being more present helps me a great deal. However, I have really struggled to make it a habit. I'll do well for a few days, but once my focus shifts, it's like I forget all about it/go back to old bad habits.
For context, I have been diagnosed with things like ADHD, CPTSD, and OCD. I know that these labels don't remotely define me or my capabilities. I'm confident that I can work through these mental hangups and reconnect with my true self again. (I'm being treated by a mental health team too.)
It's just a struggle to make it "stick" for long. I'll be feeling great, present, hopeful, confident, and then it only takes one emotional flashback to send me to a dark place. Feels like 0-100 sometimes. Really hard to "come to" and regain control of my thought process, despite even being aware of what's happening. It's like the script has to run its course once it starts, if that makes sense. It usually "pulls me under" for a few days, until I'm able to think clearly/mindfully again.
Anyway. Since I've spent 20+ years being stuck in negative thought patterns, completely disconnected from the present, I know that it's going to take a lot of work to reverse that damage. My scared inner child takes the driver's seat immediately by default. But I know that that child is a defense mechanism and not the real "me." I know that these thoughts aren't me, despite how real they feel. I know that I'll only be able to reconnect to myself when I let myself be present again.
Those of you who struggled to make mindfulness "stick" in your everyday life, do you have any tips for me?
For context you can look at some of previous posts and comments if you want about why I talk about puppets or NPC’s, but will provide additional perspective on it and additional thoughts
Yay moderators keep reaching the lows that you’re at, always look to exceed them. You keep looking for ways to be offended to have reasons to keep coming after those who call you on your harmful destructive bullshit. You will only be made more visible to those who will see you, who are open and willing to see through your bullshit facades you construct and reconstruct to continue deceiving others. And who aren’t afraid to call you on your shit either.
So far been banned from the ask psychology group and energy work. ‘Higher minded’ but legit npc bitches for those couldn’t take being called out decided to attack and bypass and gaslight instead to control the visibility of information that continues to uncover their secrets. Their traps they ultimately set for themselves. You gotta wonder how much we inquire about and discuss when it comes to psychological behaviors- how much of it is actually human behaviors versus that which are npc puppets that statistics won’t divulge on purpose; this goes beyond statistics in psychology…
It’s amusing they called me the NPC as their reason for banning me. Nice puppet projection. Of course you’d say that you stupid bitches. And to those who can’t stand or are easily offended by how I’m broadcasting myself here now I understand. But be more offended and concerned by what you don’t know that you don’t know that’s happening, stay in denial of too scared to admit is happening. Or insist on dismissing because you’ve personally never experienced it or have had any interactions of this subject matter before. It’s understandable but this is the reality.
Where do you think fictional work comes from? It comes from the mind we’re all connected to, or whatever you want to call that that we gain this information from. Some of you know this already that stay open and aren’t dismissing it as unchecked mental health issues when subjects such as NPC’s comes up. And how it’s not a trendy thing to say but how this has more serious implications involved for why they’re being called out.
Sometimes the mental issues are exacerbated by what’s more quickly emerging in our lives daily, blurring the boundaries of what’s considered ’normal’ and ‘abnormal’ some see more as a result of being victimized by. And is conveniently being weaponized against the victim because it causes an uncomfortable stir from those on the outside. So it’s not a surprise there’s backlash from those who even vehemently oppose factual claims.
Claims and evidence that’s been around for some time now of experiencers, et contacts various occult knowledge( which isn’t all intended to be used in baneful ways). Even those who use their occult knowledge for baneful purposes (although more obscured this too in plain sight), or aren’t easy to dismantle their perceptions of what they think they know to be comfortable to.
Interlude to NPC’s
Non player characters. The ones I’m referring to and understand them to be are those who are not humans, are just codes that run a script in a human body solely for the purposes to cause destruction on Earth. Not sure why they have been given this name when they have always been and continue to actively participate non stop in the decay in our society. As that’s all they can do, have been designed for. But for conversational purposes that’s what they’ll be referred to and puppets too at least from my pov because why not.
Legitimate humans, who have human souls have more power over them and they know this. It takes more differentiating now when discussing ourselves in communications especially when there’s still unknowns but enough to share the information to find more information that exists too. It just needs to be connected better, to get a fuller picture of how this all conveys the reality of what has been occurring.
Some in spiritual and occult communities are under the impression of et contacts that are to happen ‘later on’ at some point, characterized to be of a benevolent nature when this is actually the opposite. Et’s have been around before the Earth was even known as how we know it to be. The supposed et contacts and integrations are like interplanetary ‘family reunion’ of sorts when again it couldn’t be further from the truth. That’s part of the storyline the councils of the universe wanted to project for its agendas for more power and control over this planet.
Many beings have already been here and continue to arrive in droves as their homes have been destroyed, are set to be destroyed, have no where to go and Earth is their refuge. Those that’ve come here from space or on land- the stealth agendas for immigrations, integrations that’ve always been here (and not just in the recent years) reasons not fully disclosed and understood. They are participating in much of what we see as the downfall of society and are the gangstalkers, NPC’s that use directed energy weapons, a plethora of other weapons, technologies, unlimited access at all times, use of occult knowledge at their disposal to harm people. This Earth of organic and all biological processes.
They’ve done a lot of damage by silencing and killing those that’ve gotten too close to or exposing truths about this content. And a lot of damage incurred by sheer ignorance not fully people’s fault as this has been very obscured but again, in plain sight throughout history. And well, we all have our lives to attend to. Which makes it very very convenient for this to all slip past our notice daily. It just too much and too vast to get proper examinations and estimations of its magnitude.
Why and how in plain sight? Long story short, being conditioned to think and be a certain way that has severely limited our growth, to gain greater access to more knowledge. This has caused the effects of self imposing limitations based off being conditioned in such a ways, negative feedback loops. Even upon shadow work and working through these patterns, breaking some overtime we still aren’t breaking through fully yet and to continue breaking through veils, as there’s always more than one veil of illusion occurring simultaneously. That work in tandem with our perceptions, desires, what we want and don’t to see occur. It can be a constant struggle and such has been life, which doesn’t have to be but going into that will extend this post farther than it has so I’ll leave it here.
Now back to the to what I was saying prior to the interludes:
Then using them as conversation pieces in groups to feel a smugness, really to feel and secure their feeling of safeness (to triangulate and corral others in supporting their safe bubbles) on or to feel more justified in their perceptions to continue on in their safe bubbles of knowing and also ‘knowing’ of things. A good chunk of which are going to be from the puppets themselves which is amusing.
Insisting the knowledge fits in the way it helps to maintain their sense and feeling of security, it’s interesting the manifestations of this, definitely nothing new here. Life goes on and so does knowledge, it won’t be boxed in to help you feel safe it’s not what we are to use information for. This is also another reason we stay in our comfort zones mentally and missing opportunities to broaden our awareness and knowledge on things.
Conclusion
Why I’m saying all this: I’m not offended by the bans it’s that it’s a weapon to control and obscure dissemination of information to protect interests not fully understood that are harmful. Being given the runaround to where you can post because truths, different perspectives are spoken, it’s just bullshit we all continue to contend with. That’s all.
Between movies and music and all their political idiocies were wrapped up in one belief or another that causes us to often times be at each others throats. and its insane on the earth at present. i am so more than adequately vindicated with never having voted in my life of 56 years. i mean that alone deserves a hallelujah. but all these US subversive things they want us to embody is just grotesque and perverse.
A few times in the recent past when co workers seemed like they were trying to trip me up in front of corporate i had a laughing response, that is to say a rebellious feeling of happiness knowing they were being dark entity fodder while i was just doing my best and then more joy visions started hitting until just now.
What were we as kids? most of us were happy mongers why isnt it that we cant rebel against all of this noise with that. i imagined myself giving a sermon in church where i said to the kids " ok kids i want you to get up between the pews and just release your joy and happiness , dance around make lots of noise for the spirit of source/God in you and really take it , celebrate this thing. and parents youll be next so watch carefully and do the same when its your turn". then after id imagined that i had nothing i was like ok well that was church for the day.
and quite literally that would be my church sermon maybe every sunday. thats what we are when we are new here why the fuck cant we just do that instead of all this ugly ass day time drama. if we arent carrying around their human skin gucci bags of suffering how are they going to feed off of us?
your ideas are important to you so please share
I come from a rather poor family with little to no (formally) educated and extremely young parents who stem from very conservative background. They came into this country with no language, were exploited by the "system", had insane experiences here and struggled. During all that, our household felt like built from playing cards. Any inconvenience, felt like the wind that could cause it to fall apart. There was a lot of argument about money. Everything was about money. Then there was the political insecurity and the question about our residence.
I am the first-born and my parent's stress ball. Emotional neglect, physical and psychological violence from an early age on. Some of it they did intentionally, some of it they did out of ignorance. My mother hit me with things (like a rolling pin) up to the point I had bruises everywhere. She at least left out my head and face. My father hit me in the presence of others when he was ashamed of my behaviour. Up to the point I was bleeding, e.g. out of the nose. I could never up to now know what was triggering them about me. I concluded at a young age, my pure existence puts them into such a rage to perform such acts on me.
I felt like the most unworthy piece of shit. Not even my parents gave me the feeling I was worth of careful treatment.
When I started school I realised how important this school seems to be to my parents. I was the kid that was not perceived in a good way by my class mates and teachers due to my awkward behaviours. I was not behaving like a kid. Nor like an adult. I was something unspecific. I was whatever you wanted me to be. I could adapt well to your needs, just to not offend you in any fucking possible way there could be. I could read the people's mimics and gestures excellently, always observing my environment. Am I save here? I did not like the attention of people. Attention always had a bad consequence. I felt most "I" and save when alone or with my sister. Thanks to my parents I became a people pleaser with many anxieties who never felt like a child. I looked at other kids and saw how childish (I.e. normal) they were and I could not relate at all.
So school was important to my parents and once I started to learn a bit and get good grades damn did I get affection. They never touched me afterwards. They proudly spoke of me going to good schools and universities finally becoming a PhD.
I was no more ashamed of myself, I was proud. What I learned during that time: This being formally educated is my ticket to worthiness of existence and validation.
There you have it, the anxious people pleaser is now a perfectionist.
I learned that educating myself, acting smart and being self sustained and invisible helped me lead a save life at home.
I used these traits to my working environment which led me to some success. But for the substantial success I was lacking self-confidence, VISIBILITY, self-trust. Trust in the unknown. Anything uncertain or any unknown work environment situation meant terror to me. I got panic attacks in meetings regularly. Psychosomatic responses were "normal" to me. I felt like an imposter who tricked her way into my position and lived in terror of being exposed for what I actually thought I was: a piece of unworthy shit.
One thing is so true though. I was nothing BUT an imposter all my life. All my life I was what you wanted me to be and never the true authentic I, so how was this what I am not an imposter. THAT I have always been! Thrived and grew in external validation. Without it, life was a dangerous place.
I knew the "mechanisms" of my psychological state due to being in professional therapy ever since my university days. Around 15 years of sporadic sessions. I am thankful for this opportunity that this country gives people in need. However, it helped me to analyse all my past and present up to the point of perfection but it never "healed " me. Being in this infinity loop of causality analysis, even caused depression in me.
Overall, from the outside it looked like I should be happy being where I am but from the inside I was trapped in these endless thoughts that I trusted to be true, each one of them. My thoughts and emotions controlled me completely. And I did not feel I am living a good life, after all.
After getting married and getting a baby I was not able to maintain the perfectionists life at work. I completely lost myself in the baby and in the failure that I thought I was. In was a piece of shit, unworthy, at least I should do everything I can to be a caring mother to this baby. Wow! This was the peak of my dark night of the soul. I was so lost, so sad, so depressed, so not wanting to be there living the moment. I wanted to disappear completely. I accidentally ran against a concrete column at work and my nose broke. How that accident could happen I cannot explain it was so random. No obstacle, my feet were on the ground, that column I walk by every day the space is COMPLETELY free except to these columns. I wonder if I subconsciously did this to myself. I wanted my face to look as miserable as my inside. In that moment when my nose broke I heared the awful sound of bones cracking and suddenly I lost the ground unter my feet. Did not feel the body, had in fact no body, was in an eternal black space and I was thinking exactly: will I ever return and if yes how do I get there back. This was really intense and subtle experience at the same time.
During that time I got guidance of some sort. Back then I did not read these events as such but they were irritating. I saw synchronicity everywhere and I started to have out of body experiences. Back then I did not interpreted these events at such I was simply irritated and wondered whether I am losing my mind.
I then (back then shamefully) watched people talking about their near death experiences. There was this striking one that changed how I see myself. There was a woman who has a very rough life and she dies. During her NDE she meets a light being whom she interprets as Jesus. He tells her she should now go back to this life and she cries and says she does not want this life anymore, and how much she struggles in this life, how bad she is treated and how she does not like herself. Then this light being sighs and says "oh dear, but that is not how I made you... ".
This line there, touched me in my core. I realised how I am not my past and I am not what my parents made me believe I was. I am pure and beautiful and worthy of all love there is.
This was the best moment in my life.
After that came realisations of the "thing" that I am in my core and that this "thing" was exactly present when I experienced all the horrible things. I know how that "thing" feels like, I kind of sense it but I don't know with which senses I can sense it. The feeling and sensation of it has not changed over the years at all, it is unchanged and not any older different than back then. Reading into spiritual literature, I prefer to call that "thing" emptiness. Paradoxically it feels empty and full and infinite at the same time.
During meditation I focus on its presence this directly brings me to peace of mind and awareness of infinite potential. I realised when I focus on the emptiness I suddenly completely know what to do in an authentic way without thinking about it - simply effortlessly.
I am currently enjoying this life, and practicing non-resistance to the events. I am excited where it will lead me and I have the Intuition that I am actually able to make my life as great as it can be.
With these unwinnable odds, ignorance doesn't stand a chance. The irony is that from a material perspective, the odds of any one thing prevailing and mastering Earth and human nature is astronomically high. But, this is what Truth has been doing since before the earliest annals of recorded history.
The Truth is One, and yet it is unstoppable and all-powerful. No matter how much wealth is spent to oppress and hide the truth, It still keeps coming. It still keeps revealing itself, because it is embedded in the heart of human nature. It is the singularity that no mind can possess or control, but it does inspire others and can be embodied by others. This is how there were great luminous figures throughout history that rose up to guide humanity at pivotal junctures. Such a time is also now.
This Tide is so great, that all who seek to oppose It will be swept away. With a music beat so intense, no one can escape this Dance. Gratefully, no truly sentient being would want to abandon this Ultimate celebration of love and truth for everyone.
I don’t want to die, but im so done with earth. I am no longer interested in playing these games in this matrix. I want to send my corrupt soul and consciousness far far away from earth and back to the Creator, or Source, where I will never have to feel like this again. I don’t see myself as able to change anymore…I just want to go back where I came from and experience peace and true love. I am tired and exhausted here. I don’t even know what is best for myself. I want to give up and surrender everything to the universe and take my soul out of this awful place and go where nobody can ever hurt me again and where i can never hurt anyone again. I have no more motivation to continue my journey alone like this.
I have such understanding—a true grasp of something so profound and natural that it effortlessly exists before us, unnoticed and unacknowledged. Despite knowing this truth, experiencing it in every moment (even the ones when I am not awake), I find myself unable to fully convey it to others. It is the reality of presence, from which there is no escape, despite our constant efforts to distract ourselves from it. Yet, I struggle to articulate it—a poverty of words.
There is no sound I could make, no combination of words that could capture its colossal significance in a way others would understand. I want to be frustrated, but honestly, it’s more amusing—like a game where you’re forbidden to use the most obvious words, yet you must find a way to describe the indescribable. My understanding is not dependent on theirs, though they often inquire. I’d love to share it, but I wonder—would doing so unravel everything? The universe doesn’t appear fragile, but it undeniably lacks definition.
Sometimes, I still trick myself—pretending I am something other than I am. But it’s different now. I lose interest in those illusions faster, always finding my way back to the present. And because words fall so short, I’ve found that the best way to teach is through action: helping those in need, showing kindness without expecting anything in return. To give selflessly, as if giving to myself.
I have so much more than I need—more than I could ever carry. I wish others were hungrier for this understanding, for this peace. I would fill their cups until they overflowed, spilling into every empty cup around them. There is so much peace, happiness, fulfillment, and clarity here. And we will all find it, eventually. After all, there is nowhere else to go.
While I have had bouts of déjà vu over my lifetime, the frequency and intensity over the past year, but more importantly, the past few months and weeks has been intense. So intense to the fact that once I realize I’m having déjà vu, I know what’s going to happen next for a brief period of time.
I’ve gone through a lot on my journey this past year I’m sure as well as everyone else which is all me… But I was wondering what significance this might be trying to show me. And these are very obscure déjà vu experiences such as things happening in a brand new job that has never happened before and interactions and experiences with family and such.
Thank you all and good mojo to you 🤙🏻
We've all been traumatized
So we come into this world pure, no life experiences tainting us no misleading outside of parental misleading with literally nothing drawing us back to source self unless at some point in our lives or in some cases like mine youre ONLy drawn to source self and dont recognize it for decades in an articulate sense.
Compared to the bliss and all the other qualities we are as source its a traumatizing experience. I was inspired with that thought a couple years ago and recently returned to it at work yesterday or was guided back to it and later after i got off work a couple people on X that i follow seemed to have been inspired with the same thoughts.
The reinforcement of that initial trauma of forgetting what we are comes through all the external things at mans disposal. All of it masking over and denying the miraculous power we are capable of and quite factually are in our own regard which is even more traumatizing.
Undoing the trauma
I think once we realize what it is then we can act against it and the first thought in my mind is a complete rebellion against all of the programming in the midst of a complete reliance of going within in the silent mind as that rebel. anything and everything external is just a useless belief because only inwardly does an actual experience manifest, the same experience that called us to awaken in the first place.
A lot of people, mostly spiritual women actually, regard self healing as a way to rebel against that trauma while people like myself are given articulations on the more war-faring aspects of recovering the state of origin, e.g. realizing source in us is the only power and authority on earth and all not a part of that must relinquish its power and become subservient.
I cant unsee how the world is traumatized now.
what are the best channels?
