I think our determinations and ego is what made void aware of itself but unconscious at the same time.
Yeah.
Thank You for your answers - i have read them some hours ago (not being logged in).
Yep.
Also, you mentioned how you had these experiences and I have to agree, based on my own experiences, although less complex - basically i felt a connection to the environment, people, etc., as if i was them (this happened a few times during yogic/energy type practices, mostly chakras related, as i found meditation to be harder for me due to intrusive thoughts, those damned thoughts lol), so i got a glimpse of me not being me or should i say, me being enlarged and dilluted (sort of), yet my mind always works on these âwhat ifâ, but i guess thats part of the process, part of my evolution.
Also, the process of healing is so so slowâŚ
So those old patterns keep resurfacing.
Thatâs also a very cool mindset and perspective to have.
Sometimes we probably need to switch to that and we should be good.
You are dropping wisdom bombs right here.
Thank you for those elaborate respones, Sam.
I really appreciate that, and I give thought to your posts so I get the most of them.
It kinda feels like Deja-Vu, since some time ago I also had a lots of questions of similiar nature and You were always there to answer. Im grateful.
I wanted to ask you another thing:
You remember pain and suffering from many lifetimes, yet You seem like a very positive, caring and generaly âgoodâ person.
My question is: How didnât You get âcorruptedâ by pain and negativity you experienced?
I remember you saying in the other thread, that you are energetically aware to a degree that often lets You know when people donât want to oppose You in this forum.
So You are probably often aware of true intentions of others as well, which are not always positive.
And surely, remembering many lifetimes, You also remember many instances of others deliberately causing, or trying to cause pain to You, sometimes for no reason.
For me even one lifetime is too much.
How do you not let this cycle of negative intent and revange lure You in?
Whenever I try to do this, It feels like Im giving up.
Like Im sending out : âwalk all over meâ message. Like someone challenged me, and Im surrendering.
Is it the cause of raising vibrations and/or dissolving the ego?
As far as I know, we cannot function in this word without ego. Some times ago I re-readed Your story, and that made me buy Ascension-Naut, so my vibrations are pushed up all the time: perhaps thats why Im asking You those questions.
How do You balance your ego?
How do you not get suck into cycle of negativity and revange, without feeling like you are giving up?
Letâs say worst case scenario happens. Someone challenges me and makes me look like a fool. Embarasses me in the forum and exposes my ignorance to the point that people donât look at me the same anymore. It hurt a lot while it happened and I felt very insecure about myself in those moments.
But now, once it happened, it happened. I can just let it go, learn from the experience and do better next time. I have an eternity to get things right. Even if I faill trying here all my life, I get an unlimited amount of tries in my next lives. I am forever, a failure is not.
Or I can hold onto the embarassing experience and allow it to make me feel insecure all the time and not improve myself and then withdraw from the forum. Everyday, feeling worse and worse about myself and my place here. I can allow this moment to become suffering.
So now, the thing is that everything eventually collapses at some point. I will be rejected at some point. I will feel discomfort at some point. My peace will eventually be met with some uncomftorable situations. But⌠it all passes. Itâs all transient, ever moving.
Everyone feels pain. But the pain eventually goes away. Suffering happens when you hold onto pain. Our inability to accept negative thoughts and feelings, memories, circumstances and the world makes us feel like our self and the world is against us. And it is, because we are against it.
We are going against our own flow. And so that makes the push forward in life very heavy and hard and just a drag to get through. The rejection of what is, rejects you back. It becomes a weight you have to push through to get to where you want or have to go. That is suffering.
I have noticed lately that humanity has a collective issue. We tend to be avoidant. We avoid our negative thoughts and distract ourselves from them. We avoid taking accountability for our behavior and the problems we cause. We avoid confronting others of our feelings. We avoid criticism. We avoid people we donât like or that believe in things we disagree with. We avoid putting the extra work it takes to change our lives or get what we want. We avoid empathizing with others and putting any real effort in resolving conflicts with them. We avoid problems and directly facing them. We avoid our fears.
Most avoidance is instinctual because for most of our history, our survival depended on avoiding danger. All these things we avoid now, had more life and death implications when mortality was an everyday thing. Resources were scarce and medicine was mostly ineffective. We had to follow the rules and societal expectations to ensure we survived and continued our family line. Life was simple and the only purpose was to survive.
But society is now rather safe and and food is widely available. The game of survival was won and now humans can find more meaning in life rather than just survive.
That purpose could be to explore the world, learn new things, make movies, write books, cure cancer, raise a family, all of those at once or anything else. We have more choices in reality now than we ever did. We donât have to follow cultural rules and expectations to survive anymore. We have more capacity in us than ever to be free within ourselves and find wholeness in life, without the impending doom of death, staring at us in every corner.
But this capacity is not realized because our survival instincts never left. Our avoidance of danger, became our avoidance of what we reject about ourselves and the world. With so much more space to think beyond getting food on the plate and keeping you and your family safe, our fears have become more internal.
We now avoid made up dangers that mainly exist in our minds and are not physical threats. The way my body looks has no effect on my ability to survive in this world. The beliefs someone else has or their way of being does not affect my ability to survive in this world.
Most of the things we avoid in reality limit our experience of ourselves and reality itself, not actually protect us from it. Itâs time we awaken to that and learn to come to peace with all these walls and blockages in our mind. They are all imaginary and not indicative any real danger. Itâs time to make peace with what it is and start living for real.
(Many of these statements are in regards to developed countries. Iâm aware that many countries still are at war, lack resources and security. Iâm also aware that in some developed places, danger is awaiting at every corner and survival of the fittest is the game there. Just speaking generally)
I have a question for those in developed countries⌠Why should we limit ourselves to following cultural standards when we could just be ourselves? We are all different and unique in our own ways and finally have the space and freedom to explore our uniqueness and express it to the world⌠rather than just try be like what society says you should be. The people that do, suffer more because they are constantly trying to meet expectations and fit into shoes that donât exactly fit them.
We all are born with a different degrees of feminine/masculine energies, different astrological signs, different parents, environments, culture and experiences that shape us all into the people we are today. Niether one of us is exactly alike and so why should we have to conform to a standard of the right way of being? The right way to be is to be yourself. Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.
Standards were necessary in a world of scarce resources and competition for them. We had to follow a set of rules to survive. But many of us are are still very keen on following these rules and wanting everyone else to follow them too. These standards are literally made up. Theyâre illusions and everso more meaningless now in a world where safety, food and shelter is so readily available to all. I donât know why many people want to revert back to certain standards.
Why limit ourselves by choosing to be insecure about who we are because we donât meet the standards of the ideal man or woman, ideal status, ideal looks, ext? Trying to meet these standards is suffering itself. Because even if you do eventually meet the standard, you fear losing it.
I dont think people realize how much the world is about to change. We already have attained more time and freedom than weâve ever had in history through exponentially increasing the means of production. But now with automation that comes from AI, we are going to be freed up in many more ways than most people can even imagine. Society has to begin rethinking how we exist here if muuuuuch less work will be needed from humans to keep society afloat.
And I think the new purpose of humanity should be to grow ourselves and eachother. Heal the world together and find peace amongst eachother. Thatâs a worthwhile purpose to live for and that can certainly be achieved as a collective. To then create, explore and discover things together. To live up to our full potential as humanity and mature enough to finally become a part of the galactic neighborhood and find more of ourselves throughout the universe.
The old way of humanity just doesnât mesh with the modern world. It is still âme against the worldâ, we still compete, fall to greed and fight to control eachother in a world that doesnât require these things anymore. This old pattern caused so much suffering and destruction throughout human history, why continue following it?
Survival of the fittest is natureâs battle royale for limited resources. So why are we humans still in the survival of the fittest state of mindset when there is more than enough for everyone?
Itâs an old pattern that we instinctually follow and that the powers that be, manipulate us to keep following. There is no good reason we should still be following this pattern. But we do because the modern dangers of the world are all we avoid about ourselves and the world⌠andwe survive by pushing through the suffering that this avoidance causes. That is rather miserable and it really doesnât have to be this way.
I enjoy your questions as well as everyone elses. They genuinely help expand my views on things and I learn more along the way.
Iâll answer your questions later when I get the chance.
Because all of your lives are my lives. All of everyones lives here are mine too. Every life was my life. And yours too. We are all one person. Itâs hard to grasp that but we are.
I have killed in many lives and have been killed. I have broken many hearts and been broken hearted. All the pain I have caused âothersâ, I caused to myself. We canât imagine it, but we have been the âbadâ guy in many life times. We have been the good guy in many others. Every life is simply an experience and only a small fragment of the whole picture.
But yes, we all individially move in our unique trajectories through lifetimes. But that individuality is simply âgodâ learning and expressing itself through each and every individual point of consciousness (soul). It is all âgodâ interacting with itself.
So Iâm not going to hold grudges against myself. I accept all the harm Iâve done to myself in my past lives. I accept the negative intentions or harm that the other parts of me inflict on me in this lifetime.
Because it is very temporary and done under the illusion that we are not one. It is forgivable and not forgiving and accepting what is, limits me from moving forward in my life and being at peace.
I am very forgiving and compassionate not because Iâm a saint. I am this way because I understand ignorance for I was once ignorant too. I was asleep. I behaved out of impulse and acted unconsciously all of the time. Just blindly following my patterns. In this state of being, I am not my true self. And well, most people here are this way. There is certainly an innocence to it that I find easy to forgive.
I still get the temptations of revenge or pettiness. I am human. But I accept these feelings as they come and process them. And think of whether behaving in that way will result in the most benevolent outcome for me and everyone else. If I am of love and light, my actions must reflect this too. Part of the human game is transcending past those impulses and not falling into them.
Now this doesnât mean Iâll let people step over me. I will defend myself if I have to and if I had to kill to defend myself or others, I would kill as well. Being accepting is a matter of âI accept what happened. I accept what others have said about me. I accept that some wish the worst on me. But if they move against me or try to harm me, I will defend myself and do all I can to dispose of whatever threat imposed. I accept that war is sometimes a part of lifeâ
This isnât a matter of giving up and is a matter of accepting current circumstances and instead of worrying or avoiding it, have all the space in me to deal with it.
That state of acceptance allows me to to be at peace in the worst of circumstances and have the necessary clarity and willpower to do what I must to survive. But most of us, just dwell on people we donxt like or âenemiesâ or peoples criticisms or people being against us or not liking us. That is a waste of energy and time.
As for ego, yes you do need ego. But it is just a map, not the territory itself. We mistake our thoughts, beliefs and overall patterns as being reality when they are not.
Balance is having enough mindfulness to not get sucked into its patterns and instead be present enough in the moment, to choose how you think and react. In being mindful, it becomes rather clear which path of action has the highest probability of resulting in the most harmonious outcome for you.
The cycle of negativity and revenge is perpetuated by the inability to accept.
Hey, how did you discover about past lives? Or how can someone do it?
Not sure if this is the thread for it, but would be interesting to know more about how it is done .
New Release: Echoes Of The Past
This was the audio for the discovering past lives, But now Its not being sold.
Its a big issue imo.
This is still taught in a pretty standardized way here.
Iâm not saying that creativity gets suppressed; it is more like it is not exactly focused on either. But it can be, if the person chooses. Although in that case it is often that âimpossibleâ choice - do we take our own chosen path and walk it, facing potential ridicule, even perhaps from family?
Remember the japanese three faces?
One face we show to the whole world. We wanna look good of course and mask potential weaknesses (Perceived weaknesses btw). In other words, we wanna look perfect for the world. Look at instagram, etc.
The second face is for family and close friends. We still wanna look good, but those special people in our life likely have seen us at low points and we donât mind them knowing. In fact, we draw great strength and support from them.
The third face is the one we rarely or never show to the outside world. And that is the actual truest form we are (Source manifested as spirit).
What it is, in my opinion, some people have far less resistance in showing their spirit to the world. I am sure everybody has met some person, or knows someone, and they radiate something magnificient. It feels like they are truly themselves, the way they talk and walk. It is authentic, it is genuine, it is beautiful to witness.
And then for sure you also know that there are people whom you just instantly perceive, they are playing a role, an act of life, so to speak. They are in that role and the role is them. They have chosen it and walking it. It is still the spirit, but they are hiding more aspects of it.
And those trying to look so perfect to the outside world, they are hiding the spirit the most.
Back to your question - and I donât like sentences with âshouldâ - we should never limit ourselves, but we still do it out of fear. It could be a variety of fears, but mostly it is simply not knowing who we truly are and what we are capable of.
100% agree with this.
most people are not aware of how unconscious our super-ego is (values/ideals from which we feel in debt/lack towards), so, there are no practical ways or measures to deal with it.
this leads people to chase ghosts for their entire lives, until some random event makes them reflect on those values (a random event that may never come).
most of our problems do not get fixed by getting what we want or achieving whatever idea of âsuccessâ got implanted by society/culture into us, but by de-constructing/discreating our actual self/ego, and by doing so, our desires change too, so, whatever idea of success you got from your culture will be gone, and your desire for it too, because part of your ego is gone too, the ego that was in lack and attached to those ideals/values.
itâs a never ending process.
You probably should not focus on that.
It will most likely come naturally once You are âreadyâ
Learning it too soon could disrupt Your journey.
I would like to share my 2 cents on it, but I thought it belongs to Philosophical Thoughts thread and didnt want to interrupt Sammyâs and Dr.Manhattanâs discussion, so here I go:
I would like to turn around what Sam said a bit, and say that (IMO) everything anyone experiences is real.
Especially with lucid dreams, perhaps also when one is very, very good at visualization(I have never got to that level, so I canât confirm) when you are proficient at lucid dreams, then you eating a pizza in a lucid dream feels almost, if not exactly as it feels when you are eating a pizza IRL.
The experience can be almost identical, so from the âspiritâ or consciouseness perspective ( wont go into definitions, I mean the part of us that reincarnates) it is as real, as if it was experienced in a physical plane.
If we incarnate to experience different things and learn from it, then LD can be a method of speedrunning this learning.
Think about it: no matter how much possibilities you have, there are still experiences you would have to reincarnate to experience.
Some of experiences would even be impossible to experience on earth, no matter how many times you incarnated here.
With lucid dreams you can experience many of such things, and there is no need to incarnate again for those specific experiences.
Of course, they wouldnât be identical, but very, very similiar. Kind of like Conceptual Realizations field.
I also wanted to adress something from another of Sammyâs posts:
I realized that our definitions of perfection were quite different.
I think I understood how you see perfection and understanding that broadened my perspecitve a bit.
âYourâ perfection is a moving one, right? Perfection that is constantly growing and changing.
Like a tree being perfect in every stage of its growth, or more precisely seed being perfect at being seed, sapling being perfect at being sapling etc.
âMyâ perfection was (now I have two, after understanding Your POV) an unchangfing one.
not moving and not growing.
Why? Because its already at the pinnacle of growth, its already as evolved as it could get. Its already âThe highestâ so any change in it would mean its no longer perfect.
Using the tree analogy, it would be the moment of treeâs exsitence when its most developed, but not âoldâ yet.
Its age isnât doing it âharmâ, its neither too young or too old.
And to adress what You said about heaven:
Eternity in perfection couldnât be boring right?
Boredom isnât perfect.
Praying to God and all of this stuff aside, of course. It would bore me too
I wish I could exist in this unmoving perfection though
That I wouldât need to âchangeâ anything.
To not have to perform any action or âgrowthâ.Maybe thats the extense of my laziness lol.
Also, if it was perfect, where did the need to expand and grow came from?
How is even growth and expansion possible, when initial state is perfection?
And I donât say that because Im unhappy with my life. In fact I think Im most happy I have ever been.
Maybe I was overdramatic when I said :
What I meant is, that this necessity to grow and learn feels like a chore. But not Sisiphus kind of chore.
Like a boring homework. Perhaps thats why perspective of speedrunning it feels so appealing to me.
Writing that I realized another thing, it blew my mind a little when I saw this, must be Conceptual Realizations kicking in.
âYourâ perfection is
âMyâ perfection was
So, what kind of perfection will be?
I think this will no longer feel this way when we master proactive manifestation of own reality. Then we are really free to choose what to experience next. From reacting to the ever evolving system to actually being free.
Same here.
The thing with speedruns though is that in order to become a really good speedrunner, you have to kind of play the game thousands of times. Which means mastering the game and becoming a master player in the first place.
If you go to speedrun.com and watch some of the speedruns there, most of these people had to play their game tens of thousands of times to achieve their âperfect runâ.
But then, the Conceptual Realizations fields is still a heaven-sent gift as it allows you to speedrun the game even if you are not a master player yet.
I think the Conceptual Realizations field is like a Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS) in speedrunner terms. Meaning that it will help you to press the right buttons at the right time by already knowing what game challenges are lying ahead, and thus helping you to play through the game as if youâve already mastered it.
Psychic Mastery is a real powerhouse for me, in that regards.
The main-benefit of it (for me), isn´t just about âyeah mind-readingâ, but the conceptual realizations aspect of it. That increase my ability to understand and empathise with other viewpoints too.
I notice a big difference with it, in regards to understanding myself and others. When one doesn´t look at the words, but the intention (what does the persons subconscious really tries to tell you) communication becomes way better.
Taking many things less personally, maturing in the fastlane.
The same applies with the rapport I have with my own subconscious.
For example I walk on the street and feel off about someone, then I get the concept of a negative experience, trauma, etc. that is responsible for my feelings/thoughts.
Understanding that it´s in most cases not the person, but my perception, based on my subconscious framework, that is responsible for how I experience him/her.
It´s like my subconscious is working for me, telling me immediately what´s up and giving me the possibility to reframe it, sometimes nearly immediately, which in turn leads to me being able to change the physical outcome.
Or I am contemplating a past situation, and then getting keywords that help me to access the concept of it, sometimes confirming, sometimes correcting my perception.
This field allows me to make leaps in few weeks, that would me normally take months to years.
I could slap myself for not using the audio of it sooner.
Hmm, I think you misunderstood my question but thatâs my fault for phrasing what I wrote in the way I did.
Iâm asking that question to people in developed countries, that have allowed for people to more freely be themselves, that want society to start restricting who people can be again. I see people feeling this way in this forum and all over the country now. A lot of people wanting the government to ban certain kind of people from existing. A lot of people wanting men to be more like the men of the olden times and for women to go back to the olden standards as well.
So my question really was for those people who want society to regress back to being restrictive of who you can and canât be.
Iâm in agreement with everything else you said. Iâm with you on all that.
I do not discount that peopleâs experiences are real to them. I just discount that they are absolutely real. Reality is evershifting and subjective to perception. There realms, upon realms on top and below this one where so many different things are being experienced. There are alternate realities of every single moment existing right now. Itâs hard to see it, but in one moment to the next, everything you see now can be gone and your mind can be somewhere else. In fac,t lucid dreaming is a great example of this.
So reality is malleable. It isnât a tangible thing. And it springs from nothingness and therefore is⌠made up in the same way your thoughts are made up.
The definition of real is something tangible and absolute. Something that always is. Something with a beginning and and end.
If what is ârealâ to us is open to completely changing at any moment from one to the next, then how real was it really?
I respect your perspective on perfection. Itâs a nice one. Good news for you is that in a way, the void matches that. It is essentially not moving and not growing because it does not exist.
But everything that springs from the void is moving and growing. That is the duality of all things. Non existence and existence.
When you are one with the void, you are at one with the highest high. You are at peace, unmoved, unchallenged and in complete flow with everything. When you experience this one day, you will see for yourself how itâs the highest high.
But understand what the highest high even means⌠What is the âhighestâ high? The universe is continually exploring what the highest high is and that is why it is always expanding. There is no highest high for there is no finite destination in the road to infinity.
I know some of you fear infinity because what the hell is the point of seeking forever. There must be a point to all this. You must get somewhere and be fine, forever there. The problem is we are still thinking within the spectrum of human time of beginning, middle and end.
You can spend eternities doing what you want, whether itâs to sleep or be at that peaceful âhighest highâ state for an eternity. But eventually during that eternity, you grow out of whatever you are doing and will seek more. It is inevitable. Eternity is not a long time. It is no time. It is forever.
It isnât a need. Itâs just the inevitable result of everything existing. It isnât seeking the âbest state possible.â By default of existing, every thought, action and reaction in the universe is creating new things and possibilities and expanding cause of it.
Feeling like you âneedâ to grow a certain way is a chore. Go ahead and grow the way you want to. By you doing what you want and doing what makes you happy, that is growth as well. All of your failures are growth as well. Everything you experience is growth whether you can see it or now. So grow in a way you find fun and pleasing.
The reason why trying to do anything as a human feels like a chore is because we are so limited by our personal limitations and understanding of things. When you remove these limitations and let go of everything we think we know, our soul opens up to all possibilities and a drive to actually do what you really want to do. You also begin to be at peace with all that is and the perfection of it all. When you are able to experience the negative and positive as one, all the chaos and disruption of humanity feels actually rather perfect as it is. Doesnât seem like it but perfection⌠is. The tao is perfect for nothing is perfect. I mean that in both ways (nothing is perfect. and the âthingâ that is nothing is perfect)
But thatâs easier to do when you are not in the mix of humanityâs chaos haha. Thatâs why monks would tap into this perfection in the mountains. Itâs possible to do amongst the chaos but that takes an insurmountable amount of strength and other humans are⌠rather distracting lol.
Our egos are what make living and trying and growing a chore. Our egos donât want to grow and just wish to remain as they are (homeostasis). That might be why perhaps the thought of there being a perfect state where you donât have to do anything sounds very attractive.
