Pretty much this sums it up. ![]()
I think you are confusing be a nice guy with Oneness.
As mentioned above by Sammy, you become impenetrable.
This is what I am also always saying about Self Love too.
I would estimate that there are currently no more than 100 people physically incarnated on Earth who can hold the Oneness state of being for an extended period of time.
You see, this is not Oneness. This is you in a role and with an identity.
Yeah, I think thatās the best way to go. Until we can reach and hold the state of being of Oneness, proactive manifestation of safety is our best bet.
Oneness kinda feels like you are part of the Reality Bubble of Everything.
Until then, the best approach is to proactively manifest our personal Reality Bubble the best we can.
When reaching the state of you being in Reality Bubble of Everything, I think this is what Sammy meant, is that then your manifestation power exponentially goes up through the roof and to the Moon, because you are now suddenly connected to everything and everyone.
i described this in my other post up there, but i will expand on it more since it was skipped overā¦
i experienced being impenetrableā¦somewhere in the city i was being shot at point blank range maybe 10 feet awayā¦i put up my hands like i was blocking a punch lolā¦then quickly stood tall thinking they were just pranking meā¦they probably shot like 7 or 10 timesā¦saw the pistol smoke, but for some reason, i couldnāt see their faces afterwardsā¦they just stayed still for like 10 seconds quietlyā¦then eventually they slowly drove off very quietlyā¦
i had a psychic friend i used to visit at that time, i call her my spiritual momā¦she told me i didnāt see it, but they didā¦thatās why i was braveā¦there was a giant black smoke being that protected meā¦
i told her that reminded me of this martial arts friend i hadā¦he was a stuntman in a movie with The Rockā¦heās from a lineage of warriorsā¦he used to tell me stories that one person in his fam looked him in his eyes one day and told him of his prophetic dreamā¦he talked to me like his fam was talking to himā¦he looked me in my eyes and said, āAhaā¦you have itā¦youāre going to get visited and you will be given a choiceā¦if you choose to accept their help then you have to do this ritual every night, but if you refuse then they will not bother you againā¦ā the way he looked me in my eyes as he told the story made it feel like he was talking to meā¦so i quickly asked him if that fam member was still around because i wanted to meet him to see if i have itā¦he told me he passed alreadyā¦he also, said he chose not to accept their help because heās a big believer in Jesusā¦
but his fam member chose to accept that helpā¦and one day in some city, he was approached by 2 guys that wanted to rob him āGIVE UP YOUR MONEY OLD MAN!āā¦he calmly stared back at them and asked with a smile, ādo you want to die?..ā they were confused and yelled it again even louder pointing their guns at himā¦so, he spoke words in an ancient language and a giant spirit of a black smoke appearedā¦they took off runningā¦
you can look up similar stories of warriors around the world who receive help from similar spiritsā¦
i never did a ritual thoughā¦
one day i was in this crystal shop wearing the same crystal necklace i wore when i got shot atā¦and the owner of the shop commented on how itās interesting i wore it on my heart because the natural etching of a ruby has the symbol of an upside down triangle and an upright triangleā¦she said itās a symbol of the heart and itās a warrior stoneā¦thatās what made me tell her how i escaped death one night while wearing itā¦and she said itās because of that crystalā¦but i also added, āthe good deeds that we do puts up a forcefield to protect the benevolent sometimesā¦ā but if we let it get to our head then that protective field will disappearā¦
it was a state of oneness i feltā¦i felt at peace with allā¦even to those that shot at meā¦i forgive them for they know not what they doā¦their world is uglyā¦what they did to me was constantly done to themā¦thatās why i still remained safe because i feel a oneness with even them and others like themā¦they grew up in a world where people shot at them at a young age and they didnāt know whyā¦so one day they got tired of it and decided to protect themselves and shoot backā¦thatās the path some choseā¦
i never chose that pathā¦once my spiritual mom told me of who was protecting me, i decided not to get a gun that nightā¦because i felt safe in the oneness of Allā¦so i continued to be safe
but nothing is guaranteedā¦oneness can easily be lostā¦it takes a constant effort to not give in to angerā¦
my state of oneness is maintained while i spend more time here in this forumā¦so thank you for this interactionā¦
The rest doesnāt confuse me, but that one detail⦠If you have no ego, you identify with the creator and you create cycles of life and death (samsara)? But what if you are bound to ego and also can identify with the creator? Either way, energy only transforms, right? I imagine (of course!) that Oneness is a pizza⦠an entity that contains different foods. What we consider God or creator (or whatever you want to call it) would be the Earth because it gives all the food⦠while the dough and the condiments would be the physical entities. So we come out of it, but we identify ourselves as different entities because we think we are super cool and unique. But it all comes from the same thing, really. We are the same but itās confusing because we have different āformā. But I donāt see ego as a dissociation from Oneness, but a seasoning⦠because everyoneās ego is already available within Oneness.

Now I want pizza (I wouldnāt mind being part of the cheese).
Hmm, this is actually a very interesting way of percieving it. I very much like your conclusions here! I may even borrow some of the ways youāve worded things here in the future because I do like how you conceptualized it.
Cause yes, this source self youāre speaking of is pretty much⦠the higher self that we all have been talking about in this forum for a long time. And the higher self is unconditional to whatever you experience. So yeah, the true self (higher self) is always accepting of everything and tuning into that fact, can make it easier to accept. So thatās a great realization man.
Haha
Trick is to not want to be that though but I know you know that as well. It is good to know that youāll be safe when you make the jump to the other side. Just the important part is actually what we are doing here. Building an understanding of this and dream is helping a lot map it all out. It helps cause knowing what comes after and how to navigate life like this is very important. Lot of people lose it cause they donāt have any map or any clue really.
Besides Yoga, I find SLR3 to be THE Closest thing to a feel of Union/Oneness, it is that powerful.
It makes me Blissful.
Iām getting the glimpses of what You Already Experience.
Nothing compares to Singularity in my case, SLR 3.0 I donāt perceive to any appreciable extent.
Havenāt really tried it, maybe just once.
Thanks for the tip.
Indeed my friend. We often donāt even realize the shields we naturally put up. First step is awareness so I think youāre definitely on the right path to dissolving them all.
Itās hard for most of us to see it but subconsciously, our minds see everything about a person. And they see everything about us. Our egos often donāt even get it because we are stuck in our biases but regardless, the information is always there. And typically, we avoid or embrace certain people subconsciously due to these inner things that we often donāt even consciously notice.
I thought I went into this but yeah, in that higher state of consicousness, you arenāt percieved as prey. As a mirror, people seeing you, see themselves in a way.
All that said, as @JAAJ said⦠itās best to continue using these tools, protection and whatnot until you get there. Itās a process that will reveal itself to you naturally anyways I think. Us having these conversations does something in your subconscious that is quite special that I think youāll one day appreciate. Often, when people reach the āedgeā naturally, their ego falls back and is like āno, I donāt want to go to the other side. It seems boundless, itās too unknown, I might just lose myself to whatever abyss that is.ā A lot of people get there really and end up just falling back due to the fear.
But knowing all this already helps you be rest assured that you can make that jump. Knowing all this is building the map in your mind that you will be able to reference back to when the time comes.
And the truth is, like @JAAJ noted, he had a oneness experience once and after two days went back to his old patterns. That is most likely how it is going to happen for most. Still happens to me quite often. There are sooooooo many patterns we have that we arenāt even aware of that reveal themselves after we have these kinds of experiences. And thatās fine. Itās a part of the process of undoing ourselves.
It makes sense because what is it that keeps us from oneness if not our limiting thoughts and our ego?
hahaha this is a funny way to put it but accurate. I like it a lot. What I meant by creating samsara is just pretty much creating the illusion of reality. That is already happening within your consciousness. Itās just that you become conscious of that layer of you that is creating the illusion.
Animals donāt have human ego but they are still away from void experience.
Ego is just a byproduct of irrational processes that exist beyond a logical and logocentric alienation and illusion of separation.
That happens because ego needs an energetic source to produce its structured experience. This source of energy is sexual in nature. Itās life force that is drained into creating ego as a phenomena.
Animals have a proto-ego because they still have a retro-active mind that allows anticipation. Past and future abstractions.
This is why I believe ego is entropic in nature. Because it needs energy to fuel it, energy taken from life force to exist and reproduce itself.
I understand but what is void experience? I havenāt mentioned anything about that 
to me oneness is a conundrum because one implies thereās another.
when you nullify opposites, separations and illussions, all ceases to exist, thereās nothing, void, emptiness. not one of anything. void experience would be this.
all ceases to be.
thatās why i donāt think thereās a ātrue selfā or āauthentic selfā, only a higher vibration ego, because ego is necessary to operate or do anything.
without ego we couldnāt be able to even exist or recognize anything as different to ourselves.
ātrue selfā implies thereās an essence or core thatās not ācontaminatedā with ego, which i deeply think itās false.
thereās no essence or true self or core.
we all are empty shells walking.
Damn, thatās deep.
mmm itās an interesting point of view and I respect it. I think that on these topics it is difficult to say that one thing is the absolute truth, we still have a lot to discover. For me oneness is more about being aware of the interconnection between all things, understanding that there are no empty spaces but that everything is full of the fabric of creation of which one is a part. Although it is one thing to know that and a very different thing is to be aware of it in real time.
And do you think that such a void existed ābeforeā Consciousness?
The original nothingness?
Also, what if Void and Consciousness are two sides of the same coin?
What if Void, the lack of anything, needs for there to be something, to be lacking?
Like good is opposite to bad, right to left, void to consciousness?
I do think ego is continuously being created out of nothing.
In every moment.
Although there are gaps in which void experience occurs.
Those gaps are more evident in kids or people that devote their life to it.
yes, i appreciate all the perspectives that others haveā¦and i was describing moments of the past when i was like 9 or 10 years oldā¦
reminds me of this story of a Shaman who was passing thru the city somewhere in South Americaā¦i canāt remember if it was Peru or Brazilā¦but hereās a man who is in a peaceful oneness stateā¦and he got approached gunpointā¦he took off his watch and took the wallet out of his pocketā¦but he quickly developed a rapport with themā¦he saw they were hungry, so he willingly gave them the money in his wallet to get food, but he said āyou can also have my watch, but you probably donāt need my Driver license and business cardsā¦ā they appreciated the fact that he knew they were hungry, so they let him have his wallet backā¦
he was in a state of oneness, but he still got robbedā¦just like me when i was like 10 years old
but i understand what youāre pointing outā¦that was long ago, and i should be more specific in describing what happenedā¦
i can see that i did reach a little state of oneness at that age now that you pointed it out to meā¦itās because often times people would come up to me, āyou want me to take care of them for you?ā.(they were going to beat him up)ā¦and i would always respond the same way whenever i got asked thatā¦i refused because some of the kids were just hungry, i had compassion for themā¦
but the one kid who i kicked in the knee, he was way taller and overweightā¦it was clear he wasnāt hungry at all, just someone abusing his power, but i didnāt hold a grudge against himā¦i actually got friendly with him afterwardsā¦i could have rounded up all the other short kids who got robbed by him and jump him, but i didnāt because of that one moment where i kicked his knee and he let out a painful breathā¦he looked at me not wanting to retaliate, like he deserved itā¦that look he gave me when that happened was like a silent apologyā¦and sometimes an apology is all thatās needed to dispel a disputeā¦
i studied martial arts at that age, but whenever i fought someone, i never used the skillsā¦i toned it down so muchā¦so, thatās another form of compassionate onenessā¦
i realize i have to be more specific in my wordsā¦i guess since i used to rap, i use all types of metaphors and similies sometimes lolā¦
so, instead of the word prey, itās just a moment of transmutation of an unfortunate circumstance that turned into a peacful understandingā¦
the skinny kid who robbed me before was clearly hungry, so i didnāt retaliateā¦
the tall overweight kid, i unfortunately responded violently, but we became friendly after thatā¦
being more clear about this made me also want to be more clear about something elseā¦
when i spoke of angry tears and doing revenge beforeā¦i wasnāt talking about bullies or being shot atā¦thatās regular petty stuff a lot of neighborhoods in the city go throughā¦i hold no grudges for any of thatā¦
i just donāt even like saying or reading the words of itā¦itās a specific type of abuse to kids they call them a āC.M.ā ā¦i donāt want to say the word, but maybe you can guess what it isā¦it didnāt happen to me, just people around me that i had no idea was going onā¦certain untrustworthy people should not be around, and being the loving accepting kind of person might not be able to detect those shady personalitiesā¦
and thatās the anger that blocks me from oneness, not that other stuff i mentionedā¦the other stuff i mentioned has zero stress on meā¦
itās just that when i think about the real blockage of my oneness, others would misperceive it like iām directing that anger towards them, so naturally, they might want to challenge me to a fightā¦
thatās why iām in seclusionā¦i donāt want to hurt anybody that was the result of me thinking about C.Māsā¦
and when i said God took care of him before i could get to him, he died of natural causesā¦i thought that would make me feel better, but it didnāt because there are so many of them and i would meet so many people thatās been thru thatā¦like people who actually lived the lives of the Menendez brothers but never retaliated like they didā¦
i met one healer who was a child slave who was forced to do stuffā¦but she reached a state of balance to become a healerā¦thatās what i was talking about in my desmond tutu post aboveā¦
thatās why iām hereā¦to try to learn how to reach that state of balanceā¦
