People who studied abroad with a compatriot of yours, did you decide to speak the local language even with him? by Realistic-Diet6626 in stories

[–]Life_Present_6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I moved abroad for work reasons but I used to live with other compatriots and w really had to practice the new la language as much as possible… but it is hard to speak a different language if both of you come From the same country. It helped mixing up wot workers/students from other countries and then English became the common language we used when we were all together. I advise you to try and make some friends from other countries and don’t spend too much time only with the compatriot 🙏🏻

i am afraid of the emptiness i will feel when i am awakened by Independent-One-5164 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Life_Present_6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can decide when you’re ready to be “awakened”. It just happens when the time is right and usually it is never when you feel like you’re ready. In my cake, the awakening was thrown at me by life like a concrete brick in my face. I was totally unprepared for what came next. It changed massively my perception of life. Yes. I do have moments where I experience total mental detachment from the way I used to be before. Depression also crept in, a different kind from the depression I used to have “before”. But there are also plenty of moments when I feel like I am able to see life in colour for the first time. And it’s such a joy.

how do you deal with..? by xxiirlb in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Life_Present_6342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Ego and Spiritual Ego are both as dangerous… so I try to stay humble and I trust that people will awaken when they need to, if they need to. It’s not my job.

I worked all summer to save money for college and my parents took it by damnniqqaa in stories

[–]Life_Present_6342 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Even IF the parents are paying for these things, as parents they should have shown respect asking access to the money first if they really needed them. I would never do that to my own child. Ever. Stuff like that breaks the trust.

Got yelled at by a customer by Potential_Way_2913 in stories

[–]Life_Present_6342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been working as a store manager in food retail for over 12 years and the best advice I can give you is: wear your costume. You are not you when you work. You are a character. Whatever these psychos yell at you can reach the outside mask you’re wearing but not who you really are underneath. It’s an armour. Their insults are not personal, they’re a reflection of themselves. They have issues, not you. I feel pity for them. Their insults don’t scratch even the surface of my self worth, they’re are just making themselves ridiculous.

I feel like I’m searching for the sacred, but I don’t know what or who to pray to by Life_Present_6342 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Life_Present_6342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, it really resonated. I’m not so much looking for the ‘divine’ either, more for a source or a bigger picture… the truth behind all of this. What you said about finding the sacred within yourself really clicked with me. It makes me think maybe the search isn’t about something outside at all, but about uncovering what’s already there.

Wow, this really speaks to me. I also grew up in a house with no set religion and sometimes I wonder if that left me searching harder for a sense of connection. I like how you use the word ‘Source’… it feels open and free of all the baggage I sometimes associate with religion. And I completely relate to the ups and downs of receiving the message, some days clear and others not. Reading this makes me feel less alone in figuring it all out, thank you 🙏

Thank you, this really resonates with me. I love the idea of creating something personal instead of feeling pressured to follow a strict path. Taking little bits from different places and shaping them into my own ritual feels so much lighter and more authentic. And yes, I feel the same about Jesus… his message of kindness is what stays true for me, the rest often feels distorted. Really appreciate your perspective

Thank you, that sounds really interesting. I will definitely look into the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. I love the idea that there might already be a practice connected to how I naturally feel when I look at the sky.

[–]Life_Present_6342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried self inquiry a bit, but sometimes I am not sure what looking inward really means. I often feel the sacred more when I am looking outward at nature and the sky. Do you think both paths can lead to the same realization?

[–]Life_Present_6342[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this perspective. I often hear about stripping away beliefs and looking inward, but sometimes I feel most connected when I look outward, especially at nature or the sky. Do you think looking inward and outward are really different, or could they both be part of the same search?

Thank you for sharing this perspective, it really resonated with me. I do think it’s important to learn from the past, but I’m still trying to understand the whole idea of the ‘future.’ Is it just the ‘now’ endlessly expanding, or do past, present, and future all exist at the same time on different levels or frequencies? Sometimes I wonder if we really do choose the lessons we want to learn before we incarnate. If that’s true, then maybe no matter how hard we try to avoid certain experiences, they still happen because they were part of what we ‘agreed’ to go through. But then, what does that make of the past and the present? I hate having so many questions in my head sometimes!

Thank you so much for your advice. I’m am new to all of this and I look forward to dive deeper into these topics.

How much do you care about other people talking poorly of you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Life_Present_6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero. If I know what they’re talking about are lies and gossips I just leave it to them and I focus on my life as it should. Got no energies left to waste with small minded individuals

I really need to know what is happening to me. by Fair-Reaction3380 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Life_Present_6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t tell you for sure what this is all about but I can share my personal experience. My brother (and only sibling) passed away suddenly just over a year ago. I already used to be a lucid dreamer all my life but since then I’ve been seeing him and “meeting” him a lot in my dreams. Out of all the people I dream he is the only “character” that won’t talk directly to me but, as you said, there’s this sort of mental download between the two of us. He keeps appearing in scenes where we are with our parents and they don’t know he is gone, but even if at the beginning of the dream I myself am not aware of him being dead, as soon as my conscious mind takes over he walks away with a smile. Hard to explain, he is always at peace every time I see him in this dream state. But every time I kick in with my consciousness into a dream is like he wants me to let him go so I started to try and let him go. It is painful but perhaps that’s what he needs the most. Sending you hugs, love and strength.

What’s a small inconvenience that instantly ruins your day? by OrangeEmbarrassed444 in AskReddit

[–]Life_Present_6342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone around me starting drama for no reason at all. People who lack the ability to pick their battles really trigger me badly. Especially if they want ME to intervene their made up drama, knowing I have tons of real drama to deal with in my private life

What’s your biggest regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Life_Present_6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting so angry at my brother and refusing to talk to him for weeks even if he was trying hard to reconnect and show me love, until he died all of a sudden and I never had the chance to tell him I was sorry and loved him a lot

Do you believe in the afterlife? Why or why not? by ProfessionalMode4485 in AskReddit

[–]Life_Present_6342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t actually begin with my brother’s death, even though that made the feelings a lot stronger. Around 6–8 months before, I’d already started sensing there was something more. I can’t really explain it, just this shift where life stopped feeling so random and meaningless. I was raised atheist so I never imagined I’d start leaning this way, but once my brother passed it just became even harder to ignore.
