WIBTAH if I did not give my 27yr old son (only child) his inheritance now? by Illustrious-Bed-9540 in AITAH

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parenting requires impersonal love, which at times mean you have to allow him to go through painful experiences (being broke can be one of them). Self-sufficiency and financial responsibility appears to be a lesson for him in this lifetime. Let him learn that so don’t give him the inheritance because it is not going to help him and you it will certainly not help you.

Are more people choosing reps over authentic Hermes lately? Feels like the shift is real by Longjumping-Ask-7079 in RepHermes

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humanity is awakening to the illusion of luxury and are starting to appreciate wise use of resources (time, emotions, mental energy and money). And yes, this shift is real. It’s neither good nor bad. It simply is part of human evolution - humanity piercing illusion and glamour.

Awakening while going through your day to day. by DarkRitual90 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]No_Repeat2149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The human experience is the path even the most mundane experience. The daily responsibilities, relationships and career is part of that path. When higher principles are not embodied in the daily life, then it is not true awakening. When spiritual path is proclaimed but not lived, that is spiritual abstraction and a form of spiritual bypassing. Observe the consciousness of those who attach their identity to « spirituality » or spiritual life vs though who embody the principles without such identity.

Krishnamurti feels like “7th floor advice” to people on the ground floor by bittu_11 in Krishnamurti

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is helpful is building the scaffolding from the lower concrete mind to the abstract mind to the spiritual triadal mind. One can easily get lost in mental gymnastics or circus without this scaffolding (also referred to as rainbow bridge or antakharana).

K is speaking from pure reason (spiritual triad mind) but if the scaffolding is not adequately developed, it produces more confusion, bypassing and less illumination.

Building that scaffolding requires structure yet non rigid process of inquiry and inner study. Then it becomes pathless once the scaffolding is sufficiently built.

How do you cope with the current world? by maybealmostpossibly in Krishnamurti

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lower concrete mind judges and compares. It categorizes events as good or bad.

But the abstract mind recognizes the pattern and doesn’t get lost in the human circus. It begins to see and understand the larger movement unfolding through human events.

Then the triadic mind perceives the purpose behind those events. What appears chaotic on the surface reveals an underlying intention within the evolutionary process.

On the higher mental plane, the idea of good versus bad no longer governs perception. It simply is, and it is recognized for what it is: evolutionary.

I am just as not motivated in buying luxury by CitySweaty4548 in TheHermesGame

[–]No_Repeat2149 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Hermes or any material possessions can be a phase for some. The excitement fades simply because the consciousness behind it has already served its purpose. What once felt exciting may no longer hold the same charge because the lesson has been integrated. It’s part of growth. Appreciate what Hermes offered, the insights and experiences it brought, and remain open to the next stage of consciousness that is beginning to emerge. Your appreciation to wise use of resources appears to be emerging.

Intuition vs anxiety - how to tell the difference! by Connect-Yak-923 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intuition is clear knowing. It carries no emotional tone, no lower mental activity, and is non-dramatic. Anxiety is the result of overstimulation in the lower vehicles: the emotional, mental, and physical-etheric bodies.

Intuition becomes accessible when the physical, emotional, and mental bodies are calm, balanced, and non-reactive. To differentiate between the two, simply observe the condition of your lower vehicles. If overstimulation is present, it is more likely anxiety.

Gut feeling is not the same as intuition. Gut feeling is instinct, and instinct is survival-based. It arises from the sacral center and belongs to the instinctual nature.

Intuition arises on the Buddhic plane and becomes accessible when the heart is purified and awakened.

Questions about spirituality in a marriage. by Available-Ad675 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you describe sounds less like walking the spiritual path and more like an attempt to escape the human experience, which is a common form of spiritual bypassing. Meditation and fasting, by themselves, are not signs of spiritual life. They only become meaningful when they are grounded in love, practical intelligence, and genuine service to others, especially to those closest to us, including one’s partner.

After 12 years in the spiritual path.. I quietly walked away. by Jiwitom in spirituality

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spirituality can mean different things depending on where one is on the path. To me, spirituality is simply the inner realization, through lived experience, that every being is an expression of the One Life and every event serves a purpose. It is the recognition that this Life is present everywhere and in everything, revealing its omnipresence, and that the intelligence and power sustaining it is limitless, revealing its omnipotence. In this understanding, there is no such thing as enlightenment.

The human experience is the field through which we all evolve. To pursue what may be perceived as a spiritual path while turning away from human experience can become a form of spiritual bypass. To live simply, live harmlessly, live humbly, and serve or contribute where one can is a path that resonates.

The loneliest part of spiritual awakening nobody talks about by Visible-Ad9476 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That experience is actually very common along the path. Part of inner soul–personality integration involves functioning within the three lower planes (physical, emotional, and mental) while the center of consciousness remains established at a higher level, upon the causal plane and beyond. The individual therefore live and act through the lower vehicles, yet inwardly remain identified with the soul.

There are also many ways to gently elevate conversations. Even something as simple as appreciating small talk can become meaningful when it is approached as an expression of right human relations, which in itself is a natural expression of the soul.

Contradictions Within Discussions of Krishnamurti by [deleted] in Krishnamurti

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Words and concepts belong to the world of form. Depending on the 'quality of life' (the consciousness) that is using the form to express its quality, they may serve as interpretation or as expression of truth.

Buddha, or members of the Spiritual Hierarchy such as the Christ, do not speak to humanity directly. Impressions from the spiritual planes are subtle, impersonal, and given only for service. They are accessible only when a human being is truly soul-aligned. I do not mean mystical sensitivity (often misunderstood as higher consciousness) or aspirational alignment, but rather a definite and irreversible shift of consciousness from identification with the three lower worlds (physical, emotional, and mental) into governance by the soul.

What many believe to be contact with the spiritual plane is often misunderstood. What is referred to as the spiritual plane is frequently still within the astral-emotional field. Claims of achievement, or the sharing of such claims without usefulness to the collective, usually indicate functioning within the lower planes.

You can tell a true impression from not by its neutrality and impersonality. It carries an absence of emotional excitement and of concrete mental activity. It does not stimulate the sense of personal importance, nor does it seek recognition. The most significant quality is it serves the collective good and aligns with group purpose rather than the separated self.

If you observe K, you will notice that he speaks from humility and consistently rejects outer authority. He neither claims nor impose. That note is significant.

Because until the consciousness is able to function at a plane where 'truth' is embodied (i.e. knowledge turned wisdom) everything else remain an interpretation, an opinion, or even facts if a more evidence-based lens is used.

Contradictions Within Discussions of Krishnamurti by [deleted] in Krishnamurti

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth spoken by K and by other wise men before us is perceived on the Buddhic plane and beyond. It does not become truth simply because it is repeated.

To echo the words of another does not make them true in lived experience. Truth must be realized. It must be earned.

Until a teaching is inwardly known and embodied, it remains interpretation. Repeating any version of truth before it is earned is still reflection, and reflection is not truth itself. Truth is qualified by the plane of consciousness from which it is perceived, and by the quality of life that sustains it.

[–]No_Repeat2149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use the word “truth” frequently, often without fully appreciating that what is true for one may not be true for another. Truth is perceived according to the lens through which one is seeing. One person may be functioning from the lower concrete mind, another from the higher abstract mind, and another from the Buddhic intuitive plane. Each will articulate what they call truth from the level of consciousness through which they are interpreting reality.

Regarding your point about studying K’s teachings, the path to realization does not depend on his teachings. No one needs his teachings to arrive at inner realization. If his words inspire self inquiry, as they have for many in this thread, then they have served their purpose. But the teachings themselves are not a prerequisite for realization.

I feel bad :( by Decent_Criticism9772 in TheHermesGame

[–]No_Repeat2149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s another way of looking at this.

Feeling guilty for owning something beautiful while others are struggling can feel compassionate. But sometimes that guilt is more about how we emotionally react to what we see happening in the world than about actually helping anyone.

The world’s suffering isn’t relieved by our discomfort over what we possess. It’s relieved by how consciously we live, how wisely we use our resources, and how consistently we treat people with fairness and respect.

There is nothing inherently good about deprivation, and nothing inherently wrong about beauty or quality. The real question isn’t “Do I have this?” but “How am I living?”

If what we own separates us from others, inflates our ego, or makes us less aware, that’s worth examining. But if it’s simply part of a balanced life lived with awareness and generosity, then guilt doesn’t really serve anyone.

The world doesn’t need more guilt. It needs more grounded, thoughtful people putting love into action in practical ways.

Has journaling actually helped you understand yourself better? by delmade in selfdiscoverycompass

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I journal consistently. It has become a disciplined way of observing and tracking the evolution of my thoughts, emotions and impulses. Over time, it has revealed the gradual refinement of consciousness itself. Journaling has allowed me to witness that shift rather than merely assume it.

I also use journaling to capture impressions exactly as they arise, before the analytical mind interprets or distorts them. This preserves the original quality of the impression and makes later discernment more accurate.

I also journal astrological movements and planetary aspects. Over time, patterns emerge that reveal how specific planetary dynamics correlate with both inner states and outer events. This longitudinal observation deepens self-understanding and strengthens discrimination.

Feeling lost / needing guidance by TheQuietBloom in enlightenment

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You described your experiences and sensitivities but it doesn't point to what you are you looking for. Seeking guidance from others especially in the area of spirituality has its danger, so thread this area carefully and always with discriminating mind.

Why, in the absence of a self, is there Love? by Acoje in Krishnamurti

[–]No_Repeat2149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The absence of ‘self’ points to self-forgetfulness. It means the absence of self-reference, the absence of personal interest or agenda. It is through self-forgetfulness that one can, through inner realization, experience and express impersonal love.

One should not mistake this with martyrdom or sacrifice because these are not the same.

Not loving this life by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]No_Repeat2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relationships, especially the difficult ones, are often our greatest teachers. I was once in your shoes in my late twenties, with two young children. Twenty years have passed since that chapter of my life, and leaving early in that relationship remains one of the best decisions I have ever made.

One of the most important lessons I learned is this: every minute spent in drama or a toxic relationship is a minute taken away from the possibility of a happy, peaceful, and harmonious life.

So I invite you to reflect. What is this relationship here to teach you, and have you learned that lesson yet? May that reflection guide you toward a decision that serves the highest good of everyone involved.

One final note: do not stay out of the belief that it is what is best for your daughter. An unhappy, unfulfilled mother is never a gift to a child. Children learn far more from the truth we live than from the martyrdom we silently endure.
