What is enlightenment and what brings enlightenment? This subreddit is for thought-provoking discussion around the idea and experience of Enlightenment.

The Essence / Spirit/consciousness cannot be defined due to the dualistic nature of human intelligence. All that can be said about the Essence is that it is a Conscious Non-being (nothing), which never changes itself (it is permanent). The Essence / Being manifests itself through non-being or through the Trinity (feelings, mind, body). The Trinity, when manifested, gives rise to the objective reality of this world. A human being includes both the Essence and the Trinity. However, this does not mean that a person perceives themselves as both. For a person, the knowledge of the Essence is active in nature, and one must make an effort to reveal the Essence.
The degree of activity of the Essence is determined by awareness. Awareness is the volitional act of the Essence manifesting as attention, the maximum strength of which is directly proportional to the level of awareness the individual has attained. The quality of activity imparts different degrees of penetration into what is being created.
The main criterion for spiritual growth is the expansion of awareness. Awareness reflects the continuous process of human evolution in understanding being. Awareness is the tool for infinite self-knowledge and self-development. Awareness expands the spectrum of human sensory experiences, intuition, superhuman abilities, willpower, spiritual freedom, and physical perfection.
Normal awareness can only reproduce what is limited by the Trinity. Super-awareness, as the highest degree of awareness, reproduces the super-reality that exists beyond the boundaries of the Trinity. This is what is incomprehensible to the Trinity. The difference between humans and all other living beings lies precisely in the fact that only humans are capable of realizing themselves as spiritual beings and discovering their Essence. Moreover, only in humans is there the potential to achieve super-awareness — a state of attention that allows a person to transcend the limits of ordinary reality, restricted by our sensory organs.
I have thought about it and there is angst and anger in my heart I cant account for. And its against Gods, life and universe.
It is so unfair, unjust and unkind. Why is there suffering ? Why do some people are so rich and other suffer ? Why little kids are raped or killed ? Why animals are slaughtered in slaughterhouses and why are there wars ?
Whole justice system of Gods and humans is corrupt
There is no hope. Just eternal melancholy.
Suggest me some good books please
With all the heavy dark emotions we learn to observe and feel them. We should not react.
Okey but then again laughing about a joke would be a reaction. We should only feel the joy not react to it by laughing. Or when you see a little puppy and say „oh what a sweet puppy“ you react to the emotion the puppy is causing…
So we only observe certain emotions. Emotions we do not want to react to. But we definitely react to positive emotions all the time ?
Through meditative practice I have seen the eternal. Timeless bliss, in which the past, present and future are experienced as a single eternal now. This consciousness outside of time and space simply exists. It is simply Being. In eternity there is nothing to be done, nowhere to go. Nothing matters, and nothing ever changes. How can something change and be eternal?
Physicality is time and space. It is here and there, it is before and after, it is cause-and-effect, it is consequence. Physicality is change. Being alive is an absurdly vulnerable position. It can be painful, bloody, and heartbreaking. We see the perpetual consequence, the loss, the uncertainty, the limitations, the inevitable end - but when you think things through, from the eternal perspective, these are exactly the things that make life priceless. The pain is real - but so is the joy, so is the love. We feel the loss because of the benefit of what we had - and which stays with us.
When we are born, we are entering a 'system' with no overt Creator, no explanations, no coercion, no fealty, just whatever circumstances we find ourselves in and a will to live. As we mature, we find that every moment of every day life asks us the question, "Who are you?" And we answer. That's what living is.
We are born with potentials given to us by Creation and it is up to us to realize and express our potentials and cultivate our capabilities, our consciousness, our presence, our wisdom. There is great diversity in Creation, and great value in diversity. To express our individuality is to carry on the work of Creation and it follows that to assist each other in doing so is even more so. Not to do so is to stagnate, or worse.
That's what life gives us. For a small window of opportunity, what we do matters. We can choose who we are. We can choose who we become. We can change and grow because we exist in a system of consequence. That's the advantage of the transient. That's the perspective that frees. That's the utility of gratitude, the power of openness, the value of empathy and compassion written in the very fabric of the universe, and why my religion is you.
Hello! I was wandering if there is any advice for me to integrate my Higher Self in a more clever way, if you have the time and kindness to read this whole thing.
For context: i can get in touch with my higher self at will. My inner compass is this: a very strong, steady heart beat that shakes my whole body. It beats like that when i'm in alignment with my true will. Problem is, i have insanely, insanely strong emotions pent up, of each type. I lived my whole life in dissociation (like, fully. Zombie mode. )
I don't want to stop at any cost on this journey. I know i would be sooo disappointed with myself. But at the same time, my emotions are so intense if i let myself feel them, that i'm afraid i'm starting to scare my neighbours with all the screaming and crying and hitting objects. And i'm on the verge of having full blown panic attacks at work. So i have to dissociate in order to not scare people. Also, one more thing. I can work with my kundalini and let it rise, but it stops at the heart chakra. Was aiming for a better result. What to do?
The world bleeds, families torn apart. Environmental collapse on the horizon. Weapons of incredible destruction ready to turn our beautiful Earth into a barren wasteland. It will affect us all. Yet humanity has accepted our fate. I will not. We have forgotten we are Gods of pure light and love. We come from the same source.
But how can the few make a difference? A spark is all it takes, my friends. That’s all it took for the creating of our universe. Please, work on forgiving others and yourself. This is the only way forward. Salvation is coming, but you must face the darkness.
And if I'm doing a task like reading, writing, talking, problem-solving it makes it 10x harder. What should my training be like?
Ive been thinking about the after life and decided to make a comment on another person’s post about afterlife and was banned from another group called r/buddhism for simply stating my belief of the afterlife by the Buddhism police. I want to know if I’m really so wrong for believing this, am I against Buddhism when I say this ? My belief, which is simply death with no reincarnation- but more so recycling of energy, whether it’s returning to a source energy that recycles the energy, or being spread out as energy through multiple beings. It is seen through nature that we as beings, even animals and plants are recycled as nutrients for the rest of the world. For example, you die and if you are buried with no casket, your body decomposes and feeds things around you, including plants, trees, maggots, etc. which in turn other predators or herbivores eat the grass, fruits that yielded from your nutrients, or animals that ate the grass under which you died, pretty much all the life that benefited and will benefit from your death, as a bat could’ve eaten the fruit, which the tree yielded from your nutrients, which the bat was eaten by a mink, which was eaten by a coyote, so on and so forth. The same grass around the tree could have absorbed some of your energy; which could have been eaten by a cow, butchered and eaten by multiple humans. In turn, a part of you now lives in all of those stomachs and those nutrients feed those lives, which in turn the cycle will repeat after their deaths. My belief is that your energy, your being does the same thing but is recycled as energy not necessarily as yourself, or not even recycled as one being- energy that isn’t really belonging to anyone in particular but more so to everyone in particular, as all energy/nutrients is recycled through absorption/food etc. If that makes sense. Either way, I was banned as this belief supposedly went against Buddhism, but to my understanding you can have different view points without being scolded- be Christian and Buddhist, catholic and Buddhist, maybe even satanic and Buddhist ? - point is I never thought Buddhism had a set place for death, like other religions all unanimously believe in one thing like heaven and hell, etc. I honestly thought there wasn’t full on prejudice like other religions or shunning for what you believe. Can someone enlighten me about the topic? Maybe share your opinions about after life? Keep in mind, I don’t believe in reincarnation. I don’t believe you will be a cockroach or another person, but more so live within everyone. What do you believe about an after life?
But if you understood, how could you be certain? Certainty itself is a paradox, isn’t it? You think you understand, yet understanding itself is the thing you’re trying to understand. Does that make sense? Of course, it does. But why does it feel as if you’re moving closer to something, only to find that the distance has only expanded?
This is where the thought begins: you think you’re following it, but aren’t you also being led? The words are only mirrors; they show you what you think you understand, but the reflection is fractured. You see your understanding, but it’s cracked along the edges, not quite right. If you look again, doesn’t it feel like the cracks get deeper the harder you try to see clearly?
Is it possible that you only grasp what you can, and the rest is something you think you grasp, like an echo of a thought that never existed? Now, look again. What do you see? The same words, yes. But the meaning—the meaning of the meaning—is no longer the same. Did it change, or did you? Did you think it was always there, or did it appear the moment you thought it should?
Maybe the text isn’t about understanding at all. Maybe you’re not reading this; maybe you’re being read. Perhaps the real question isn’t what you think, but what this thinks of you. And when you think it’s over, is it really over, or is that the point where the whole thing begins again?
Here’s the paradox: you can see it, you can track the idea, but once you believe you have, it slips away like water through your fingers. Understanding isn’t something you arrive at, it’s something you try to catch. The harder you chase it, the more it eludes you. And so, you read again, trying to catch it, but in doing so, you’re caught by it.
Did you just read the sentence before this one? Or did you rewrite it as you read? Did the meaning come first, or did the meaning come last? Does it matter if you read it again? What happens if you don’t? The meaning is inside you, and it always has been. But you were never in control of what was inside. Maybe the inside was reading you. Maybe the moment you thought you understood, you were already wrong.
There is a thought you keep circling, like a trail you follow, but no matter how many times you loop around, it never closes. When you think you understand, you arrive at the same place—but isn’t that place a little different now? Different enough that the second you believe you know what happens next, you’re already lost.
It’s strange, isn’t it? How a sentence can hold meaning, but also hold none. How the thought you were so sure of yesterday now seems distant and untrue. Maybe the meaning is in the gap—the place where you thought it existed, and yet, now you can’t quite place it. When you think you find the answer, you begin to question the very idea of the question itself.
You can try to track it, and track it, but the moment you think you’re back to where you started, you realize you’ve never started at all. Time doesn’t pass here the way it does out there, in the world you thought you understood. Or did you think you understood the world? Did the world understand you? You think you know where this is going, but the very moment you think it’s going there, it isn’t.
Every question you answer is another that never needed an answer. Each thought leads to another, and each one circles back on itself. You try to make sense of it, but the moment you make sense, you’re left with something else entirely. If you could escape, would you? Or would you simply circle back to where you thought you were?
Perhaps you’ll finish reading now. But what if you never truly did? What if you’ve been reading yourself all along, thinking the words were always yours to interpret? Could the meaning you’re looking for only exist if you stop searching for it? Could it be that the question is the answer, and the answer is the question, and you, like the question, are always moving but never truly arriving?
If you think you’ve understood by now, you’ve already missed it. The meaning you’re after, you’ll find it, but it’s already gone. It was never where you thought it was, and it will never be again. Did you catch it? No, you didn’t. You can’t. You never could. You’re already reading this, and already questioning it, and already lost in the words that never meant what you thought they did.
The real question isn’t here. It was never here. But you already knew that, didn’t you? Or did you?
What happens next? Do you continue, or does this continue you?
When I first started thinking this way, self help things and the Tony Robins of the world were so easy to mock for me. I was so incredibly negative. Yesterday I was watching video in such a bad mood my immediate reaction to it was bullshit, it took calming down and remembering what I want to get in what she was saying. Anyone else get in these funks? Sometimes I feel like society paints a lot of self help things as silly or hippie-dippie when these are the only people who seem to really get it. Some days it I’m so negative I need to concentrate harder and other days I’m like maybe monks are right, maybe I should take a vow or silence or I question if I should be a nun lmao. It’s all a lot I guess
Maybe we are just simple organisms with nothing going beyond our biology.. maybe with the process of evolution we become too self conscious maybe we are just a mishappening as a species among other living organisms maybe we are just creatures born to die without the soul, heaven or hell or a sky daddy. (Just a thought)
Here's a sampling of verses from the Gospel of Garab Dorje - The Highest Secret Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. I found this book last year and it blew my mind wide open.......
You are and always have been Infinite Consciousness, the living presence and creative power of the Divine, the vast spaciousness of being, always good, and beyond the grasp of the intellect.
Perfect love being your essence, attainment is already complete, and there is no need to strive at practicing compassion.
Phenomena are not other than the True Condition, the Great Perfection. Without input on our part, phenomena appear and disappear. Self-liberating by nature, revealing the way.
The suffering of sentient beings is only the play of Infinite Consciousness, intrinsically perfect energy, in varied forms.
The Mind gives rise to all appearances. Being unborn, it is indestructible. This timeless space of Pure Being is beyond the reach of thought.
There is no need to conceptualize nor to purify the mind of concepts. The deepest meditative tranquility does not think of itself as this or that.
Real meditation is effortless letting go, into The Great Perfection.
Abiding in spacious consciousness, beyond desire and directed intent, one's condition widens to infinity.
Primordial Enlightenment is the source of All. Its manifestations are marvelous wonders.
Appearances, symbols of the All-Good, never change into something other than Pure Presence. All possible circumstances and all beings in them arise non-dually from this Pristine Continuum.
The True Condition cannot be grasped conceptually, but appears in various ways, according to how one thinks about it.
Blessed are the ones who abide continuously in The True Condition, not discriminating between self and other. They enjoy the magical illusion, while abiding in The Great Perfection.
In truth, nothing arises, and nothing ceases. Equal in all its manifestations, all forms being One in reality, nothing needs to be dedicated in any direction.
The True Condition being intrinsically perfect, there is no need to make offerings. No need for our minds to visualize or intend.
Even an instant of this contemplation is Divine Union. And the satisfaction of this union fulfills all spiritual commitments.
Non grasping is already the perfect offering. Equanimity is already the perfect mantra.
Obscured by active striving, The Great Perfection cannot be realized.
The sky of Mind presents nothing that requires improvement or cultivation, avoidance or acceptance.
We are not peering into the beyond nor hankering for special feelings or visions.
The sky of Mind does not crystallize into anything which could be a source of hope or fear. This being the case we simply sit.
When this becomes our lived experience then all appearances (both inner and outer) are recognized as waves of the ocean of infinite consciousness. We allow them to appear and self-liberate.
Because of its invisible intelligence and equanimity, whatever we intend appears, and because the True Condition is nothing, no-thing, it can bring forth the appearance of anything whatsoever.
When we get involved with vows, techniques, good works, mandalas, stages and paths, we are inadvertently cherishing and holding on to the small self. Striving with notions about purity is a mistaken path.
The light of wisdom, the clear light of awareness, is already perfect. The Alll-Good is endlessly playful. The non-dual reality will reflect itself to us in just the way we think about it. Everything is the energetic play of primordial enlightened mind.
Nothing but Mind (cosmic consciousness) is actually in play. It is not these appearances and yet it is not other than these appearances.
If we do not abide in the light of enlightened mind it will matter not which practices we perform. All we will see will be our own level of consciousness.
This teaching is most secret because although uncomplicated it is not easy to understand. It is not relatable to those who lean towards active seeking and striving forms of practice.
The real significance of desire is the wish to know that all appearances are in fact The Great Perfection.
When we enter into a state that is unmoving, the True Condition reveals itself.
In the beginning, we abide in the True Condition for short periods of time, then, perhaps for half a day, and later for a day or a night. We come to a point where it is possible to take unbroken refuge in the pure continuum of infinite being.
Appearances go on by themselves. Making efforts to change this is futile. Do not try to stop the flow.
The sky that is our mind is by its very nature an equanimous continuum of conscious clarity, unqualified, complete and perfect. All phenomena self-liberate in the True Condition. The Great Perfection.
Hi, I don't know who to talk to so I figured I'd try a post here. Advice would be most appreciated.
A few years ago, after a heavy depression, I began practicing meditation and listening to talks about Buddhism, Taoism, etc. I'm not the person I was before. I see the world differently. I have the ability to stop myself from getting swept up in the minds stories. I disidentified with thoughts, became aware of the ego's game, and had several glimpses and moments of sharp clarity during my practice.
I had a renewed vigor for life, and without the catalyst of suffering I got lazy. My perception is permanently altered, but I feel like a slave to comfort and distraction. I continuously submit to the minds endless narrative because it numbs me. When I think about sitting down to meditate, the mind says "oh sitting won't get you any merit" or "don't you have practical things you could be doing?", and I know of course that it's all fear and doubt, but distraction is always available as an alternative.
I remember one night in deep meditation feeling like I was on the edge of a cliff, standing at the door of doubt. It felt (in a very visceral way) like the linchpin that held together the ego, the self. It felt as if all I had to do was reach out and poke it, but I knew that it would unravel the world, and I reflexively backed down. I can't help but feel like I wasted some glorious opportunity there (or maybe im actually just crazy), and I've been mostly mind-identified since then.
I've started to notice depressive tendencies reamerging, and frankly it scares me. I'm better at dealing with the thoughts now, but the emotions are compelling. I see myself reacting cynically, and notice thoughts of self-loathing and loneliness. When the emotions are strong, I don't want to dismiss the negative thoughts, they take on a poisonous allure and id rather seethe in them.
I feel so lost. How am I supposed to orient myself, when even time and space collapse upon close inspection? I want surrender, it feels so possible. It's like there's a big switch in my mind, primed and ready, but I just can't or won't do it. I'm frustrated and angry, mostly at myself.
I know that these are all just thoughts. I know that I don't want to live like this, drunk on distraction and bitterness and envy. I'm at war with myself and I can no longer see the battle lines, it's all gotten so confusing. It's hard for me to tell how much of this post actually makes any sense. I don't even know why I'm writing it, since I know no-one can magically fix things for me. Guess I just needed to be heard.
How do I surrender? I don't think I can control this.
Has anyone else found their intrusive thoughts get worse when the mind is quiet, doing activities such as mindfulness or meditating?
Being in the present moment and being self aware is really rewarding for me but these thoughts keeps distracting me when the mind is quiet. They then cause me to ruminate because it says something that will trigger me. I also keep hearing my name being called?
A diamond is created through intense pressure turning black carbon to a pure super hardened crystal of beauty.
Was that your experience?
As the body lays dying the intense pressure returns as an incomprehensible force, the emergency siren is sounding the mind is overwhelmed, then it is time to leave but there is nowhere to go, "you" aren't going anywhere.
No one is ever ready or ever expects this thief in the night now at your elbow, whispering in your ear "eternity". When you finally must, let go that final straw, the unfinished plan, the poignant unrequited love. The first day is as the last.
Everyday as I live my life my conscious and subconscious are battling each other. For some supernatural reason my subconscious always knows what’s right and what the outcome will be of any given event randomly throughout my day. My conscious is always fighting it telling me to do the opposite of what my subconscious says or acting as my subconscious. Every time I don’t follow with my subconscious I end up either being wrong or ending up in a a loss in some way. It’s a voice in my head that my whole body feels. I don’t know if I’m “chosen” or something spiritual is happening or I’m somehow crazy. I’m 17 and I live the average everyday life. Only thing to add is a couple years ago I had and think I still have the ability too astral project. My young curious mind got ahold of me and I tried it. Anyway does anyone have the same experience or can help me diagnose what it is I am experiencing.
I had a small breakthrough recently and wanted to share. Obligatory I’m not enlightened, but I find myself walking this pathless path more closely everyday. I got stuck where I think people who have non abiding experiences tend to, gathering “enlightened” concepts and really just developing a more spiritual ego. I no longer consider this a bad thing, even as considerable time was lost the more I tried to internally grasp this ineffable thing called enlightenment. I now just see it as a detour on my never ending journey, as are all appearances of ego.
A while back I had some profound psychedelic experiences and I felt that I was more than I had thought I was. I didn’t get very far from there for a while though. I knew what I could be and what we all ultimately are, yet I was stuck identifying in the here and now. I began to conceptually insist my ego was all an illusion, that the “I” wasn’t real. While this may be true, we still define ourselves in THIS present moment. The identity might not be real, but We certainly are. We are like a transcendent object, and all our personal experiences wash over us. Body, mind, outside and inside, we connect it all like an invisible glue holding ALL of our experience together.
The outside world we create together, but the inside world is a creation of our own. I had thought of my ego as some illusion to overcome when my life is my personal creation, slipping through my fingertips with the incessant flow of time? I found a bit of the trouble I was facing was in having an unintentionally negative view of myself. It really is an unlearning of all we are conditioned to believe. Religion and the whole world force their truths down our throat since the moment of our birth. If there is truth to be found, it isn’t found in belief systems or concepts, it must found within. Through Self love, acceptance, and understanding we can find it.
Practicing existence as the eternal witness gets us ever closer to living fully in the present moment, free of any egoic grasping. This existing in the present as the witness felt impossible at first, but as all things got easier with time and practice. A big thing I noticed was how many subconscious, reactionary habits I had developed. From unconscious mannerisms to unhealthy thought forms, I found I was acting out of my own control. I was reacting, not consciously choosing. With practice and self reflection, I began to become aware of the unconscious behaviors as soon as they happened and from there letting go became quicker and quicker. It’s important to distinguish between reactionary behavior and conscious intent. I don’t find myself trying to dissolve my ego to the point of pure awareness, but simply to achieve mastery of self. Freeing myself from attachment and unconsciousness, knowing every aspect of my being and truly having free will. I’m sure more will come but this is where I am.
Just wanted to share a few things that have been insightful for me lately though there’s always more out there. I’m sure a lot of these concepts seem elementary to many here but I do hope I am able to help someone along their path. Love to you all.
This post is going to be about Perry Caravello, a lot of you are not even going to know who this is and for those that do know who he is, why would I post him on elightenment? I had been binge watching his stream recently, as I had watched a movie a long time ago called "Windy City Heat" one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, amazed that I would forget this gem that was made, his post from a random Francis project got me thinking 'this guy looks wicked familiar ' so I looked him up on google and started to watch this movie. I laughed for a solid 2 hours and craved more... I bring this up because as someone that has been in the dirt to rise up from it, to only see a man that has been a joke his whole life made me grateful for who I am. Now I understand something that I was neglecting for years. The ability to laugh even if it is at the expense of someone less elighten or not at all. I know what it like to be embarrassed, but not to stay embarrassed either. To be mad or not to stay mad etc... Perry is responsible for his actions in his life, yet refuses to do anything about it, plays the perfect victim to his life. It's a great reminder for all of us, that seek unwanted attention for a little money or loneliness. I had to post this cause it wouldn't stop running in my mind.
See: `Consciousness is Every(where)ness, Expressed Locally: Bashar and Seth´ in: IPI Letters, Feb. 2024, downloadable at https://ipipublishing.org/index.php/ipil/article/view/53 Combine it with Tom Campbell and Jim Elvidge. Tom Campbell is a physicist who has been acting as head experimentor at the Monroe Institute. He wrote the book `My Big Toe`. Toe standing for Theory of Everything. It is HIS Theory of Everything which implies that everybody else can have or develop a deviating Theory of Everything. That would be fine with him. According to Tom Campbell, reality is virtual, not `real´ in the sense we understand it. To us this does not matter. If we have a cup of coffee, the taste does not change if we understand that the coffee, i.e. the liquid is composed of smaller parts, like little `balls´, the molecules and the atoms. In the same way the taste of the coffee would not change if we are now introduced to the Virtual Reality Theory. According to him reality is reproduced at the rate of Planck time (10 to the power of 43 times per second). Thus, what we perceive as so-called outer reality is constantly reproduced. It vanishes before it is then reproduced again. And again and again and again. Similar to a picture on a computer screen. And this is basically what Bashar is describing as well. Everything collapses to a zero point. Constantly. And it is reproduced one unit of Planck time later. Just to collapse again and to be again reproduced. And you are constantly in a new universe/multiverse. And all the others as well. There is an excellent video on youtube (Tom Campbell and Jim Elvidge). The book `My Big ToE´ is downloadable as well. I recommend starting with the video. Each universe is static, but when you move across some of them in a specific order (e.g. nos 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.) you get the impression of movement and experience. Similar to a movie screen. If you change (the vibration of) your belief systems, you have access to frames nos 6, 11, 16, 21, 26 etc. You would then be another person in another universe, having different experiences. And there would be still `a version of you´ having experiences in a reality that is composed of frames nos. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 etc. But you are not the other you, and the other you is not you. You are in a different reality and by changing your belief systems consciously you can navigate across realities less randomly and in a more targeted way. That is basically everything the Bashar teachings are about.
God is a feeling. It's throughout the nature. We seek the "GOD" in everything, whether it be in the form of delicious food, travel, sex, spending time with loved ones, or watching a good film or television show. The taste of God is what we seek in everything. The taste of nothingness, the taste of oneness, or the sense of non-duality. when we truly enjoy something, our minds are not there at that very the moment. We were first connected to the oneness while we were inside our mother's womb. We had nothing to offer or receive at that point, or the world did not exist for us. However, our divinity diminishes over time after birth.As we mature, we forget all of our divine qualities as our humanity triumphs over our divinity. Further, our ego grows (ego = dual things in our world, everything that is not YOU). And we forget sense of who we really are. And we are never satisfied.
I believe there’s no such thing as a beginning or end. But only cycles, very complex cycles spinning into infinity. And there’s no intelligent creator beyond our comprehension. The only intelligence is us and the cycles of our awareness. And feedback of information which causes complexity which is why you have your higher self, the non physical and your body the physical. That this intelligence is energy cycling back and forth and carrying information to become more and more complex.
That the whole point of life is to evolve pass the close to infinite dimensions. A very complex cycle of energy remembering and forgetting. and that awareness just is. There’s no beginning to awareness it jus is, as awareness itself is the intelligence that’s cycled through complexity to be aware of its awareness (hence us)which is jus love. There’s only two sides to one coin hence yin Yang sign. Awareness and intelligence aka love and truth.
Anybody else ever came across this kind of theory or am I jus crazy and coming up with thoughts in my head?
Bhagavad-gita chapter 13. Verse 15
सर्वेन्द्रियगुणाभासं सर्वेन्द्रियविवर्जितम् । असक्तं सर्वभृच्चैव निर्गुणं गुणभोक्तृ च ॥ १५ ॥
sarvendriya-guṇābhāsaṁ sarvendriya-vivarjitam asaktaṁ sarva-bhṛc caiva nirguṇaṁ guṇa-bhoktṛ ca
The Supreme Lord, although the source of all the senses of the living entities, doesn’t have material senses like they have. His senses are transcendental and are therefore called nirguṇa.
Guṇa means the material modes, but His senses are without material covering. It should be understood that His senses are not exactly like ours.
Although He is the source of all our sensory activities, He has His transcendental senses, which are uncontaminated. This is very nicely explained in the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (3.19) in the verse apāṇi-pādo javano grahītā.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead has no hands which are materially contaminated, but He has His hands and accepts whatever sacrifice is offered to Him. That is the distinction between the conditioned soul and the Supersoul.
He has no material eyes, but He has eyes – otherwise how could He see?
He sees everything – past, present and future.
He lives within the heart of the living being, and He knows what we have done in the past, what we are doing now, and what is awaiting us in the future. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā:
He knows everything, but no one knows Him. It is said that the Supreme Lord has no legs like us, but He can travel throughout space because He has spiritual legs.
In other words, the Lord is not impersonal; He has His eyes, legs, hands and everything else, and because we are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord we also have these things. But His hands, legs, eyes and senses are not contaminated by material nature.

Hi, i am doing meditation for the last 2 years. I have got numerous benefits which I dont want to talk about at the moment. But in short, my life completely changed since I started doing meditation. Though I am doing really great but at the same time there are places where i need to put more efforts and one of this is Boredom. As I have ADHD, I always want to do something and dont like boredom or being silent or still at all. I feel calm and still only just post-meditation and that is also 2 hours max. How can I cherish boredom and be more still and comfortable with it?
