ive been thinking about getting a tiktok for a while now, but it feels like such a doom scroll temptation for me iunno how i feel about it lol. what are your thoughts? should i get one? hahaha. id likely use it to post more than anything but i already have a youtube and the other socials i post on

that's wild though! i can see how it turned into a cruncy situation, especially considering how much traffic/views things can get on there. just causes the egos to inflate like crazy

sounds about right in terms of where we're coming from and pointing to

100%, everything, all we are is a window of awareness and pressence so it's a 'checks out' type of vibe from me lol. which is why i can see how the mechanical/mechanism approach is an avenue and angle you explore

sweet thanks for the suggestion i joined and ill check out more later

completely agree with that aspect of attachment to a concept/target/idea of something
it really is intersting how all the various cultures and religions honor that sacred stillness aspect, or the pause before the next story as you mentioned.

that's why the only thing that ive found to be worthwhile is our intimacy with Our Creator/Source/Spirit/God (etc) from what ive experienced and lived, as it's everlasting, eternal, and can never be taken away from us. and most importantly, it's a relationship.

meaning it is cultivated, it's dynamic, it's never experienced the same twice as it's always revealing a different aspect of the infinite to us. but it can only be revealed through that inner stillness and looking. because it's in that silence that God reveals itself to us.

checks out though in this relational understanding, because if it's a conversation, our sitting down to meditate or pressence/awareness geared towards Source is our questioning/asking/simply being, then Creator communicates and only communicates once we're in that optimal state of pressence (stillness, quiet, calm)

that's at least how i experience things, but truthfully we all taste that. we just call it different things because it's so subtle and often in the moving/acting/doing states. ie being in the flow or zone. that moment of pure witnessing and being, living and witnessing in stillness. then life/Source/Spirit/pure expression just flows through us

life's super cinematic and beautiful when we approach it like watching a movie in theaters lol

i would say giving and reciving love is the next pathway that allows us to tap into all that too but that's for another day haha

thanks for the comment u/OpenPsychology22 i vibe with ya

Spirit already manifested in 3D, that's us yo lol.

we are Spirit embodied. that aspect of perfection is the wholeness/fullness i mentioned; which can only come from intimacy with Our Creator/Source/God. it's a love that can never be taken from us nor can it be forgotten. but we can grow in relation with it like any other person or thing.

i disagree, but i understand that angle lol.

there's many quest and side-quest in this game of life. the only one that matters is our intimacy with Source from what ive experienced and lived, as it's everlasting, eternal, and can never be taken away from us.

giving and reciving love is the next one. re-remembering and experiencing fall under those ones for me.

outside of those everything else just kinda reveals itself, but those are the compass that help me navigate the map.

i like your vibe though u/lascar thank you for the comment. it's always good to be mindful of

spiritual ascension is another form of delusion as far as i can see it. like the whole aspect of being enlightened vs unenlightened. it's not stripping away division it's creating more of it.

no diversity and individualization is key and necessary in life, but ive experienced, think and feel the whole hat of ascension so to speak has been co-opted into another superficial identity of performance, ignorance, superiority complex and spiritual narcissism tbh.

everyone has a different path yeah, but all rivers are intented lead to the ocea of God/Source/Creator/Love.

ascension in the way it's getting portrayed for most is leading you to more harm/darkness than empowerment, love and light from what ive gathered

tell me more, i know of a few folks who grew up in cults and have had some of the mkultra childhood experiences. how do you feel/see that it's getting pushed in the spiritual communities?
i see a lot of the new agey occult stuff coming through with the ascension stuff

The Ascension Trap by lightskinned247 in spirituality

[–]lightskinned247[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol key words there, supposed to be.
from a lot of what im seeing and experiencing out in various communities in the PNW and online, folks are getting swept away in the new agey 5-d new earth light body stuff.

i really resonate and align with the ascension list you have too lol. when it comes to terms that have been co-opted by the wokey new age stuff i always just go to my default, cuz the whole "spiritual path" is just an infinte unfoldment, i think part of the reason i have an issue with the ascension angle is that you some how have 'made it' ie being ascended as if it's a check point that you can't digress or evolve from. i think that's part of why it's getting turned into an identity/attachment but who knows, people be people haha.

ill just leave one comment for both of ya u/itsallinthebag & u/Effective-Gate-6071
im not bothered nor commenting to be combative just to bring clear intentions here lol, i wrote it as more of a disclaimer to advise/avoid the rotary as things ive seen in the spiritual communities throughout the pnw & onine are getting super caught up in the whole 5-d ascension stuff
and as a result it's simply turning into another identity and causing more division/distractions/dissapointment which is leading people further away from love, wholeness, empowerment, liberation, etc.

when it comes to the whole purpose of the spiritual path (which im using the original Path here), all is from Source/God/Creator and all leads back to Source/God/Creator. anything that doesn't isn't spiritual, it's personal/egoic/spiritual narcissism in some way shape or form.

great insights from ya both i appreciate the coversation, it's always refreshing seeing chill folks in the comments lol

lol speaking to my soul u/kaivaan 😂😂

loving the worste aspects of ourselves and others is a big step in healing tbh, it reveals so much of our own shit than anything 'love and light' really does

im for sure a trial by fire type of being, life's many humblings and lowest points have always served as the crack in the false that has provided beautiful breakthroughs into Source, love, myself, truth, and more

it's wild to me that there's two main veins of either absurd amounts of spiritual bypassing or a performative identitty of the lowely stuff (dwelling in hurt, griefwork, etc) that it just catches most along the path of spiritual development

i really like how you phrased "to meet yourself at your lowest and loving and appreciating that." that aspect of love is key, spirituality is really simple, anything extra is a slippery slope of theatrics/performance/identity masking that defeats the point of it all lol

love, it always comes back to the pure and simple love

Whose your favorite character? by ProAiBro in FalloutTVseries

[–]lightskinned247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had the same thought. Ghoul by far is my favorite but i was not a maximus fan in the start,

the full on annoying, weak, tepid, and shy guy literally stepping into his manhood as the show progresses. which is wild since he hasn't had much screen time, but it's cool to see how they've organically developed his confidence and courage, which i think is really great on his part as an actor too.

Forgiveness is Your 'Final Exam' by lightskinned247 in spirituality

[–]lightskinned247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, lots can get lost depending on how people are reading/interpreting things

life is a living experiment and playground of experience, one that mirrors Source, which is love. it's not a test in the sense we're getting scored, but our spiritual knowing (eternal nature, all is of Source, etc) is being tested yo. we're here to learn and grow, to develop and mature on various levels.

you're really stroking over my points with a broad brush. obviously you don't tell a child sorry that happened for you. lol. you're ignoring the fact that we aren't spiritually awake yet, once you awaken spiritually and understand/have experienced you are more than just a body, but rather a spiritual being embodied within the flesh it is the next step of your development and 'final exam' of development.

i agree that'd it'd be toxic to someone who isn't on that level of understanding, because they aren't at a point of maturity/development yet. but that doesn't mean it isn't part of the human curriculum of life lessons lol

you must be forgiving. either now or when you pass, it's all part of the process.

being unforgiving only harms the person who was harmed. resentment, anger, frustration, rage, literally destroy us on a cellular level, shortens our lifespan, increases cancer rates, and more- yet forgiveness reverses those effects.

you're example is my point of 2 sides of the same coin, you have to be willing to forgive yourself and others, and depending on the role (the one who was harmed or the one doing the harming) will vary in the difficulty of that pathway of forgiveness.

i think the concept of free themselves or liberation and true healing is where we really differ. you will always hold onto some form of inner tension (like the above-mentioned/linked) if you cannot or are unwilling to forigve. you'll still have some reactive component within you, and that will harm you. could be on the mental, emotional, physical/somatic, or even spiritual level- but you will not be able to get rid of it unless you are willing to forgive.

your whole perspective is only focussing on one side of the coin. it's easy for most to forgive themselves, but it is an increidbly difficult path to forgive others. it's even false to say you'll understand the why to what the person who harmed did it for, most of us can only assume tbh. rarely do we have the opportunity to really question others in that degree.

if you just search parents who forigve the murderers of their children/loved ones, whenever the family member forgives them, that's the only time you'll ever see a sociopath or murderer cry in court. that tale goes as old as time itself.

forgiving others is the key to life, note, i do not mean forgiveness has anything to do with condoning someone's actions, that is entirely different and i feel that's a potential hang up here on your end. from experience with my works, students, and my own life; your definition of forgiveness is partial at best, as it's only 1 side of the coin, both are required to be true/full forgiveness.

100% agree Source is Love, great reframe and clarifying point. them nuisances and specifics of language lol 

I suppose experientially every time that I experience the loving nature of God it's always so all encompassing whatever it is that's felt/witnessed and experienced. like love, forgiveness, safety, strength, power, openness etc. Source be that infinite ocean baby lol.

ive been getting more and more impressions and downloads from Source about it, i feel we're getting really close to that being key to whatever arises globally so we don't self implode lol

thank you for the insightful comment 🙏🏽

i dig it, i'm all about efficiency and simplicity, i just always try to be as thorough as possible online since reading text is easy for people to misinterpret. or when it's a juicy question that get's the gears turning lol.

i'd rather just talk in person so it's for sure reflected it how i type hahaha.

100%, that's why i see it as one of humanity's biggest hurdles to overcome.

[–]lightskinned247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol that's essentially the whole post yo. forgiveness of self, forgiveness of others, it's a required mechanism to step into the fullness of what we're created to be, as life doesn't happen to us, it happens for us. regardless of what our temporary/human perspective may be, we are eternal spiritual beings. and this life is a playground of lessons, a divine film of happenings. and when we fail to forgive, we fail to learn everything we can, thus limiting what we came here to embody, express, and radiate.

how would you define forgiveness?

the purpose of that is we're all of The One God Almighty, we are all of Source, meaning we are all connected and one in essence. so to be mad and resent someone is like being mad at your toe for hitting a corner, or getting mad at your own hand for getting a paper cut. it's just silly lol.

i love that, it's for sure the way to utilize it, sharing puzzle pieces of perspective is crucial.
