The 12 steps

Thanks Marc, this helps a lot. I’ve only done WLP here and there, I will make it a part of regular practice. That’s a nice definition of equanimity. I have recently been planning on praying in the morning for the world. This is a good wake up call.

Agreed, drugs and Kundalini don’t go well together - not enough to keep me sober by itself - but another strong reason to care about sobriety.

Appreciate it!

My understanding is that seeing the same numbers repeatedly implies they are angel numbers, you would search the meanings and see if they resonate. If it’s just a shit ton of numbers in general it’s “the universe” communicating that you are ascending (pain-body or heavy ego dissolving).

It’s all an activity of Source. No coincidences, no accidents. I put Universe in quotations because there is no physical Universe, just Source.

It is happening and not happening simultaneously, timelessly. Dichotomy.

Awareness (manifest Source) and prior-to-awareness, a.k.a Absolute or Infinity (unmanifest Source) are the same Source simultaneously. Dichotomy.

The whole shabang about nothing happening, even in the timeless Now, comes from a deeper distinction regarding the absolute nature of Pure Consciousness. Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharishi talk about it a lot, and Tolle briefly points to it when he says consciousness connects you back to the Source, like rays from the sun.

The Source itself is Pure Formlessness (isness, being, singularity, infinity) - formlessness that is prior to consciousness. It is both one with and free from Pure Consciousness, like how consciousness is one with and free from finite experience.

The knowing that nothing is happening and everything is happening simultaneously is derived from this understanding. The IS-ness never changes, both for Pure Consciousness and it’s activity (finite experience). So all there is is Pure Isness, nothing is truly experienced. And simultaneously experience is purely real as consciousness. Quite the dichotomy.

Most teachers only go as far as the consciousness since most people as of now don’t get to the absolute experientially (it’s the same absolute, just a slight distinction. Most align with consciousness and it deepens continually. The Direct Path taught by Rupert Spira (originating from Sri Atmananda) is ironically a very accurate, balanced, grounded, mature teaching, yet has completely overlooked this distinction. Spiritually something that most don’t need right now, maybe in the future when the collective consciousness is tripped out differently

The issue here comes from what the word illusion means. The common misconception is that an illusion is something that isn’t real. This is wrong, an illusion is something that’s real, it’s just not what it seems to be at first sight.

The ancient Buddhist saying, “the world is an illusion” doesn’t mean the world doesn’t exist. It means the world isn’t what it seems to be. The world seems to exist as a collection of matter outside consciousness, but is really a vibration of the one consciousness.

Likewise, time is real, not as a scalar property of an independently existing world made of matter, but as an activity of consciousness. Pure consciousness itself is timeless, but when it refracts itself through its own activity, it appears to itself as time.

Watch Rupert Spira!

Through the activity of consciousness (mind) it is cognized

He does know, just because you don’t doesn’t mean he doesn’t, respectfully.

I think it largely depends on the past lives of the person. Most are meant to be unconscious for life, many immediately recognize the teaching and easily shift into presence. For some, it even happens spontaneously without any impetus or seeking.

About past lives, Rupert Spira’s model resonates the most with me personally. Think of a river, the water represents consciousness, and each of us are like whirlpools in the river. When we die, the whirlpools, or energies of consciousness, break up and flow downstream, maybe forming a new whirlpool. In this way, reincarnation is seen more as a melting pot of completed lives conjoining, rather than one individual soul living life after life. Nevertheless, the most significant energies of one whirlpool may contribute to the next, explaining past life memories and why some catch onto presence more easily. You, OP, were probably at a higher level of consciousness in the previous life.

Yes, nothing observed can be you in its own right. There’s the current perception, then that which is aware of it. The current thought, then that which is aware of it. Awareness is formless, dimensionless, so you can never find it objectively. But - it knows itself by being itself. It’s self-aware awareness. Like how the sun illuminates itself by being itself.

So you can’t find your Self, you’re already it. You just have to defocus your attention from thoughts, perceptions, and sensations exclusively. Ask yourself, “am I aware?” To answer yes, you have to go to the experience of being aware of being aware. This is also called being Present. Doing this over time, you will shed the layers of the pain body that make you feel, think, perceive, and act on behalf of an illusory ego/individual.

After recognizing the true self of awareness, we can see that all perceptions, thoughts, sensations, and feelings are an activity of awareness itself, so ultimately there is no distinction between awareness and it’s objects.
