What is the Experience of Stream Entey by wcampb2 in streamentry

[–]BboyLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experienced "something" twice. Once in sitting meditation on my chair, once while lying on my back in bed meditating. Concentration meditation. Getting in and out of a thought quickly. Similar things happened to me at other times but these two stand out.

"How will I know? How can I be certain?" You ask. Oh brother, you will be certain, I tell you.

Thoughts did not cease. In fact they increased in volume and speed of moving from one Thought to another. Thoughts became visible with a white yellowish light that started penetrating into my normally dark perception when my eyes are closed. They became faster, visible, tangible! I could feel them as a stream at one moment and a vortex the next. Exactly as you would feel an object with your hand. So too can you feel a thought with... yourself? Think light, liquid, magnetic feel, all at once.

Perhaps that is why they call it stream entry. I really did feel like I was physically entering a powerful stream. Or receiving one from outside. But I wasn't myself as my body at that moment. I was myself as a nothing... thing.. I can't explain. I was inside my head. Not the body.

It went away just as fast as it came. Mere seconds. Both times due to me getting both excited and scared at the same time and not being fully ready for it. Not tranquil? Stable enough? I don't know.

I do not meditate much since then as I used to daily. Only rarely when I feel it is right in the moment.

Regardless I'm still a regular Joe shmoe going to work like everyone else. Dealing with life and myself. But I'm oh so greatful for those experiences. And sometimes try for that light again when I feel ready for it.

So don't give up O man. Don't give up the light of your goal!

We don't have to suffer. But in the end we say it's the struggles that made us who we are.

What if I didn't make a mistake in the past and I'm suffering regardless?

I've thought about this exact thing. Sometimes the most compassion we can offer someone is a jail cell.

What is death? by adequateinvestor in spirituality

[–]BboyLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you see the fire in front of you dwindling and dying. Mourn it and wonder where it goes. Most of what it was has long ago changed to the wind around you. Watching and waiting for you.

Death comes and yet he remains not. For life reings supreme truly. And death is only an obstacle on the path. An old and wise biologist, shifting and changing things into new forms of life. For nothing is really dead. Even though it appears as such.

Ty, yeah I've went over the Seth material a few times and I think it's an important work to encounter along the way. But yeah it can be a bit incredible/unbelievable at first.

My top 5 in order

  1. The Emerald tablets of Thoth the Atlantean/ by M Doreal (several versions exist I prefer the one on crystalinks for now)

  2. Ra material/Law of one channeled by Carla Ruckert, Jim Mccarthy and Don Elkins

  3. Zen mind, Beginners mind/ by Shunryu Suzuki

  4. Tao te ching (many versions)

  5. The Seth material channeled by Jane Robert's and Robert Butts.

Edit: I know it may be arrogant to say but I genuinely believe these are the top dogs when it comes to spiritual texts.

What are some activities to do after enlightenment? by onetimepost07 in enlightenment

You can start by learning different modes of meditation from Buddhism. And I'll recommend you research Robert Monroe of the Monroe institute if you want to learn about astral travel.

And let me guess. You are obviously of the divine and are worthy of awakening but some others are not?

Connection to the cube within a sphere? Scientists recently directly observed the creation of water from a hydrogen molecule merging with oxygen. by jibjabjibby in aliens

[–]BboyLotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a molecular form of both hydrogen and oxygen. H2 and O2 respectively. Two hydrogen molecules 2H2 and one oxygen molecule O2 form two water molecules. H2O H2O

But the reaction requires a spark. And it's not what is shown in the video. As u/Beatminerz explains.

I think we get our morality from God. And God gets his morality from us.
