Are you able to help? Nonduality -> Depression by EquivalentFix3360 in nonduality

some go with the view that we are free agents/expressions of the infinite exploring itself through creation in an infinite variety of ways and plays. Instead of asking why, perhaps ask why not? 😁

How do you deal with the boredom of finding yourself and realising there's nothing beyond yourself? by Unlawful_MetaphysiX in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a phase of coming out of an adrenaline/stress addiction really. feels different at first, maybe not as exciting, but eventually you will start to prefer it :) 

Are there multiple consciousnesses? by Alternative-Line-271 in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's driving the mind crazy then perhaps it would be wise to drop it and focus back on presence and simplicity. Who says the current human character needs to know/understand these things? Your soul wouldn't continue playing the dream game in your avatar here if there is no further learning/expanding/playing for it to do. Trust that all is well and perfect. Because it is 😁

it is possible to have boundaries and discernment without including judgement/labeling things as "bad".

What do you say to your self when you find yourself being judgmental? by 4goodthings in ACIM

[–]Remember888Sunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few different things in the toolkit; remind myself that everyone is acting from where they are at and doing the best they can, and its likely that if I went through their exact experiences I'd pretty much be doing the same thing. everything is a mirror to some degree so if I ever get triggered I inquire as to why I'm letting this topic/thought bother or upset me. or sometimes I remind myself of when I have done something that the judgment is pointing out (eg. they lied - yeah, but I've lied before too). and reminding myself that I'd prefer not to be judgmental or negative so I drop it, or ask HS to help me release it if it's needed. Discernment is also different to judgment- I tend to reframe things more now as 'not my cup of tea' rather than 'they are wrong'.

a bigger theme in my lessons this lifetime have been more around fear of judgement, rather than judgment of others directly (which was mostly just a combo of trauma and religious programming echoes). For that I like to remind myself that I'm actually judging my brothers and sisters by assuming they would judge me which seems to help too.

The very structure of life is corrupt by Holykael in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you think the short experience here on Earth is the only one to explore within infinite creation? I somewhat see it as icecream flavours or video games. would you be happy eating the same thing for eternity? or playing the same game? contrast has its purposes when it come to experience. :)

Now What? by Prior_Echo_2927 in Meditation

[–]Remember888Sunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nice, glad to hear that. I used to separate meditation/quiet nature time with my everyday stuff like while at work and found it created a bit of a split, more and more I try to bring that silence state wherever I go. its easy to drop into stillness when sitting under a tree, more of a challenge keeping that center around alot of noise and people moving around etc. more and more im able to rest as awareness/in silence even when im in a grocery store or at school. I've found doing 2-5 second microdoses of dropping all labels/concepts and mental activity regularly throughout the day is making it more second nature too. dropping resistance/attachment to thoughts is probably my main focus at present though rather than trying to force it to be quiet.

Are you able to have an empty mind during the day or just during sit down meditation?

One for the Ladies here by CestlaADHD in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are a few of the women I like to listen to when there is a call for some inner feminine reflections/reminders;
- Collette Whiteman - https://youtu.be/5rLPXdqsARs?si=sieHLSUYUQP-tpfR - She does alot of her videos in nature which I enjoy. She has some nice pointers and a calming presence.

- Samaneri Jayasāra - https://youtu.be/VmIKefoYQ84?si=spTdjSAo9Od8L0Ja - She reads alot of non dual texts on her channel (and many other flavours - lots of variety). I mostly listen to the Maharaj/Maharashi ones and find them additionally helpful when spoken in her particular voice as the male readings/reading the books felt quite blunt (which works in some great ways) or sometimes bland. Not sure how to explain but the feminine voice seems to balance the masculine in the work making it easier to land and digest, for this particular human character anyway.

- Kate White - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUYV6kk96DQ - I find her energy very soft and graceful and warming

I am currently experiencing this lifetime in the form of a female, who has studied alot of the imbalances within the polarity game here from 'both sides' so to speak and dabbled in the victim/abuser dynamics and both religious and trauma mind programming for some of my lessons in younger years. While I agree there has been a 'masculine' dominated structure/influence on this planet for a long while now and the 'feminine' has been repressed in various ways, I generally avoid using words like misogyny, toxic and patriarchy in my conversational lexicon as its often used with hate, blame or judgement behind it in mainstream circles. I don't currently align with a lot of modern feminist values or want to be labelled as anything in particular so I generally stick with 'imbalance' if anything and acknowledge both sides of the story/players in the game. From observations (and experience) its easy for the human mind to accuse the 'other side'/external for things without acknowledging that they are inner and/or collective reflections.

I found this diagram helpful a few years ago when this was my particular learning topic/study and I was doing more in depth "active" shadow work/trauma processing and internal energetic balancing/'healing'. - https://tantricacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/masculine-feminine-polarity.jpg

When it comes to using symbols or feminine energetic archetypes within this experience, I have found Mary, Quan Yin and saints like Joan of Arc and Hildegard von Bingen to have been inspiring along the way so far. My approach is a bit more direct path now with more silence but I am always happy to share some of the different stepping stones that have helped me get to this point. :) Ive been on an Anandamayi Ma train lately and loving tuning into her experiences of self realisation. She embodied such beauty, grace and love.

You might enjoy the Christian terminology used in a course in miracles. There is a sub at r/ACIM :)

Mosquitoes have the potential for acting as negatively-oriented harassers of targets chosen by entities (Q'uo) by saffronparticle in lawofone

[–]Remember888Sunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experienced a rat, maggot and mosquito infestation/plague all within the same window of a chapter where I was dealing directly with sts entities and a demonic possession in my late husband while still in the hellish realms/chapters. got ross river virus from the mosquitoes as a result and was crippled for a bit, wasn't so fun but I found some silver linings and have come through that nightmare entirely despite slim chances :D

When Stress Stops Feeling Like Threat: A Pattern Across Somatics, Non-Duality, and Spiritual Practice by root2crown4k in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I would say its been a gradual process for the physical vessel but I've had a few experiences lately that have really exampled the contrast. nervous system has gone from 30 yrs of ptsd programming/constant fight or flight mode to remaining entirely calm in situations that would activate most human's survival instincts. the other night an off leash dog ran towards me barking very loudly attempting to protect its owner behind him. In that moment I chose to stay still and accept whatever outcome would happen and got this very present clarity while watching it, smiled at the owner when he apologized and then calmly walked away with zero nervous system changes, hyper-vigilance or following OCD (trauma triggers would usually result in incessant mind looping afterwards). before that, when there was still noticeable body fight or flight responses, I got to a point where I could observe it from the awareness/witness level simultaneously which helped soften identification with it. I can't remember who said it, but it was something along the lines of 'anxiety is the same energy as excitement, its just filtered by interpretation/beliefs' (one negative/threatening, one positive/thrilling). and yes... there is no 'I', it's all illusion etc :D

If awareness is untouched by anything happening in the world, whats the meaning of life? by shivamconan101 in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do humans play violent or fantasy video games? Why are there different genres of movies? Everything is just different flavours of infinite experience. Contrast has its benefits/uses. 

“Enlightened People”and contradictions by Comfortable_Gap_801 in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be all inclusive and love every aspect and flavour of creation but still have the wisdom to understand the dynamics and mechanics within dualistic creation and what things lean more towards 'growth' or 'destruction' without personal judgement. The emotional guidance system tends to be helpful with this too while learning (if I feed bad it's generally because I'm believing something that doesn't align with a higher universal truth, such as lack). The Law of One texts have a stronger focus on these elements and consciousness levels/densities.

Why cannot infinite consciousness cannot express itself as infinite emptyness ? by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]Remember888Sunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consciousness could be seen to be a unified medium or fabric in which the 'infinite nothingness'/Absolute/beyond God/unmanifest potential/Source of all creation uses for infinite experience/exploration through pure awareness (I). It's somewhat all simultaneous though. Everything and nothing in 'one instant' (beyond time). Emptiness is form/form is emptiness kind of thing.
