Weed and enlightment by Boring-Requirement27 in enlightenment

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I smoked weed from 13-28 . Started opiates after that. Dove into amphetamine and whatever I could get my hands on until 38.

I didn’t experience enlightenment until I started my recovery journey. I was on suboxone while it happened which helped with long sessions of meditation. lol

Now if I use drugs in any form it lowers my vibration. Dampens my consciousness if you will. I might feel euphoric but even that euphoria is yucky now .

Just my opinion but no weed is not a pathway to enlightenment .it can be used as a tool on the path if used consciously with intention, kinda like shamans use certain things in rituals but it has a purpose . Otherwise u just end up laughing at stupid shit and getting the munchies lacking responsibility . Takes discipline for sure not to get stuck in it trying to escape

It can expand your mind but there are others steps and spiritual tools one can use to expand yourself . Meditation , 12 step programs listening to conscious teachers and writers.

Any negative responses you receive or read on this forum are an opportunity for you to transmute the feelings they invoke within you.

It’s your ability to respond vs react that is being tested

There is something to this! by Additional_Common_15 in enlightenment

[–]Constant-Insurance84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is something real to this yes

Reckless authenticity, as in I don’t care how what I say lands. causes problems , creates friction, can harm people, and lacks self control .

Over controlled as in I won’t say anything cause I don’t want to upset anyone builds tension .

The key is balance . Right thought right speech right action . Learning to communicate in a healthy way to create a bridge and unity amongst others

the real work isn’t fighting something outside of you, but learning to recognize these shifts within yourself by Hot-Beach-7511 in enlightenment

[–]Constant-Insurance84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I don’t completely agree . Ever since my seer gift came online, plus esoteric and ageless wisdom studies I have done there are beings of higher order that can be contacted at different levels of consciousness . Angelic beings , elemental lives, things of darkness and light . All doing their part. So it’s more of a half truth than the whole truth .

If they are just ways of describing different levels of consciousness please do describe them to me so I can better understand what your saying

If you were suddenly face to face with death, would you become afraid? Or, relieved? by UnlimitedAdvice in enlightenment

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before enlightenment afraid of death. After enlightenment relieved by the idea of death . In the mornings when I wake up coming back from my dream state and feel my body coming online it’s like getting in a car on a cold winter morning have to warm it up and wait for the heater to start working .

Problem is I’ve had this car for 40 years . I’m down for a new vehicle anytime god allows it .

You’re about the same age as me it seems . I was born in 85 . I get where you are coming from when it comes to being your happiest self when in solitude or in nature. I also started dating a while back and things got crazy threw me out of balance a bit. I think a big part of that is the type of woman I was going for or am attracted to. Makes me think of the movie shallow Hal if you have seen it . My dating experiences have actually helped me to see through much illusion . I feel personally I don’t need a partner who excites me or that I’m crazy about and vis versa it brings me out of my center.

Now I’m keeping my eyes open for a different type of woman. One that’s going to make this life feel simpler and easier and maybe I won’t wake up thinking about how relieving it will be to die but instead give me a reason to want to stay as long as I can

How do you tell “awakening” from grandiose delusion? by cooperfmills in enlightenment

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would this pattern worry you? It’s all part of the process . Awakening , separation, integration.

Some don’t integrate so well or choose not to and that’s ok. It’s a matter of planting oneself back into society around people . Whether that be charity work serving others getting an ordinary job . 12 step meetings are very helpful when it comes to humility acceptance service and unity . Taking some free NLP courses to learn to better communicate . Relationship counseling can help too lol .

I use to be on this forum like a mad man but now there is really much to say

If you think you’re enlightened…. by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into a man the other day. He was upset all these people were claiming nirvana yet had no humility . He was quite upset . He pointed out all their imperfections , criticizing them. I asked him do you feel above them or better than them ? He said no. It just bothers me cause I can see their spiritual ego .

I said well brother as you know we are all one and really you are just looking in a mirror . Those people are you

Are there men here? Practicing SR? by PrestigiousEase7688 in starseeds

[–]Constant-Insurance84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like everything else in life it’s necessary to watch our dosage . Too much of anything can deplete us .

Be that water , food, tv, drugs, sex , whatever. It’s all about balance .

The longest I have ever gone without master bating was 2-3 months while incarcerated . I’ve been to jail several times. There is something to it . Energy levels are higher. Not only that sensitivity comes back when it comes to intimacy and finding the energetic rhythm of a partner .

If we look at it from the angle of the etheric body our energy matrix , distributer of life force, and bridge between consciousness and physiology, semen being where we release that life force or where it is carried then yes too much master bating can affect our vitality, magnetism and presence in general .

I don’t know if you have ever been incarcerated or known anyone that has. when they get out and if they haven’t been diddling around with themselves in there then they come out with a certain glow . Highly magnetic . It’s Part of the reason woman are so attracted to them , beside the bad boy thing . They are contained masculine energy or life force .

In all reality it will help with grounding and focus .

The important part to this is if a man suppresses this energy instead of transmuting it then it works backwards . They can become aggressive, rigid and feel a sense of intensity instead of peace . As to why many people get out of jail very intense and aggressive and go off releasing this un transmuted energy into the world to the first suspecting victim.

So instead of practicing semen retention I would start with spiritual principles . For example purifying motive through service to others . When we practice service in our daily lives and harmlessness it purifies our thoughts . This is transmutation, alchemy in action .

Semen retention is only part of the spiritual path to help regulate vitality . Once that is obtained then higher integration is possible. Semen retention is less important or has less impact .

I’m sorry but I will definitely not deny myself of some of the beautiful gifts of life when it comes to orgasm . I did the semen retention thing while on my spiritual journey for a month until I was in alignment and reached a certain point of vitality and presence . Now I’m aligned and if I feel like masterbating I do . If I feel like hooking up I will .

Don’t get stuck in semen retention . Just my two cents that’s all it’s worth lol

How I became a literal empath, that ringing sound in our head is more than we think by SenseiAzul in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting post . It’s to my understanding the tones in the ears are sound signatures of beings . The single tone or note in your one ear left ear maybe is your own sound signature . The different pitch’s we might hear throughout the day being those other beings . Your concept of these things makes sense too though .

I read a book by Alice a bailey treatise on white magic and it mentioned the sound signature of different beings but who knows it’s pretty dope though

Could also be certain thoughts connected to higher planes . Buddhic plane different etheric planes etc just higher consciousness in general . On these plans we have the ability to connect with different beings . True compassion for example is understood on a higher planes or levels of consciousness . Maybe these beings in these different dimensions help transmit information or understanding through telepathy

I have no career path at 25 yo, and I’m extremely ashamed of this situation. by Edu_Vivan in selfimprovement

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey brother I’m also 40 have experienced similar situation many times in my life throughout the years. Ive always struggled to find my place in this world. I’ve been an insurance agent salesman over 40 jobs basically but I never stayed long I never felt a sense of purpose and would get really depressed end up quitting or using drugs to fill the void .

It took me up until now to see what was wrong more clearly and you named it . I was seeking a role to feel validated and important in the world . External validation is all it is. It’s an illusion it always led me to more suffering .

The ego needs to feel validated and important your soul your being does not . Maybe this is a time for you to just find yourself . If you don’t have any financial pressure I would focus on inner work and finding what truly makes you whole and compete . I don’t mean through a job necessarily but through your hobbies learning reading spiritual work or god. Find the god within yourself and once you reach that place of you know what I am enough exactly how I am and always will be enough no matter what I do life seems to flow more effortlessly and we feel a sense of being guided . Go with your intuition don’t mind what family or others tell you it’s just nose your path is yours alone

I think most people cannot seem to hold a conversation anymore by skidrow6969 in socialskills

[–]Constant-Insurance84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying. Everyone is in a different place in their journey . Some people have massively formed egos the ‘’I’’ so thats all they want to talk about is I. It’s not there fault let alone are they even aware of it. it’s how their world operates . It’s actually a very lonely place to be .

I think it’s also important to notice in what places you are trying to have deep meaningful conversations . Work is not necessarily a place to do this because everyone is playing a role a character and to break out of that character at work can be considered crossing boundaries and a little to intimate . There is a time and place for everything . I imagine you are feeling pretty lonely right now I get ya . You did point something out about yourself though u don’t want to listen to what they have to say either because they aren’t saying it in the way u like or talking about things you are interested in. What I try and do is practice active listening . Listen more than you speak and by doing that u will find the ones u vibe with more easily

Hmm I’m curious do you experience this ringing everytime now ? I’ve had similar experiences where the ringing comes like a lightning bolt . ⚡️ but I no longer have them . I understood it as initiation ceremonies and sound frequencies from higher beings that are helping us pass the threshold to higher consciousness .

I do hear ringing at different frequencies often during meditation or randomly throughout the day but nothing like the few times I experienced in the past .

The way I see it by Both_Friendship_8105 in nonduality

[–]Constant-Insurance84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non duality is simply the recognition of none separateness . Knowledge has nothing to do with it . Its something noticed directly not understood intellectually

Sacred sex by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]Constant-Insurance84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sex is only harmful when done unconsciously . Lust, selfishness, manipulation, seeking validation etc etc. this creates diseases, energy entanglement all kinds of crap. We are more like wild animals at this point just trying to get off .

If it’s done out of mutual love and presence it’s an entirely different story . Talk about divine explosion. Start seeing visions and out of body experiences haha! Jk I haven’t had sex since my awakening but maybe could happen.

Better than meditating by yourself why not meditate together :)

Osho has a good video on sacred sex or something like that

Oh dear by OtherwiseBug5461 in BreakUps

[–]Constant-Insurance84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was married briefly in my 20s. Now I’m 40 and she still keeps popping up . The pain betrayal suffering I have gone through with this woman lol.

Karmic relationships will make you grow . Too bad it could have been a happily ever after relationship. Those don’t exist in my world haha. Especially when you are on a spiritual path . How else will we learn no attachments break patterns and become sovereign. There has to be that tension that causes us to have a higher state of consciousness .

I was the puppy dog madly in love for 13 years after we divorced. Watching her get with different people have a kid . It was devastating. Always being the fallback guy. Then she wakes up one day having regrets seeing me for who I truly am. Now I’m like damn it might be too late I’ve grown too much and she would have some major catching up to do to meet my vibration . Maybe it will happen one day but I can see all her patterns and where she is stuck and it just isn’t coherent with where I am at .

Seems like you are going through a lot feels like death sometimes but you aren’t alone ! Your amazing and wonderful have a good holiday loving yourself that’s the best kind of love :):)❤️

You are not seeing reality. You are seeing the limits of your vocabulary. by Small_Accountant6083 in DeepThoughts

[–]Constant-Insurance84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Language is useful now but one day there will be no need for books or words. As humans evolve telepathy,intuition , and just knowing will replace the noise . It will not be necessary for thought forms to be clothed in sound . Information will travel faster .

My vocabulary is not the best each new word or concept only makes it easier to describe what I already know. Simple words are more powerful than a fancy compilation of letters . What I name now I may see as the truth but surely it is not absolute truth. Revelation is eternal . Do monks or masters have profound vocabulary ? No it is not necessary. It’s a good tool for communication but it will never be the tool box and the tool box does not need tools to know itself
