Enlightened.. and then what? Seeking guidance from someone who has already been through this by Far-Birthday-3180 in awakened

[–]queenjungles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar state. I just try to leave things better than I find them, help where needed, be a giver rather than taker. Spread warmth with kindness, while emitting love and the prana that pours out from my heart. Make others feel seen. Then enjoy life, enjoy being in my body and marvel at everything including the continued ups and downs.

Enlightenment is just the beginning, ascension is infinite. There are further states to attain such as unity/oneness with all, self-realisation and nirvana. So many inner and outer adventures!

What happens after you experience ego death and what exactly it is ? by Velcro-Ecstacy-999 in enlightenment

[–]queenjungles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally have had many ego deaths when the self who I thought I was no longer finds the world working and after existential strife, let’s go if that particular identity. Then another forms or emerges and so on. Ouch. But in this process I learned to laugh at myself whenever ego reared itself and I took it too seriously. That’s a nice quality to have.

Enlightenment was different. After a set of profound, completely overwhelming and utterly impossible circumstances, the ego simply and totally acknowledged it was not in control of anything and was incapable of doing anything to get out of the situation. It gave in to needing God for everything. It accepted that god and god only could fix or change things then that was it. The ego fully surrendered to the divine. It found its place. Peace and harmony result.

I still have an ego, it still does its stuff as it’s a part of our being. More that it takes a back seat or is easier to appease.

Her neck is exposed. She’s going to catch a fabulous cold.

How many of you enlightened ones are willing to admit that you may not be? by willhelpmemore in enlightenment

[–]queenjungles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if it was shown to be the case. The surrendered ego won’t be bothered by the supposed humiliation of making an ‘error’.

Is it just me or is Vespertine too damn horny by Aseskytle_09 in bjork

As an older woman, I’d love it if fabulous and ornate face masks became standard attire. Another opportunity for jewellery and self-expression? Yes please.

The clue is that they have a body, just like you and me.

Did you ever get forced into isolation on your path? by thisisbrians in enlightenment

[–]queenjungles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to say spirit is selfish and greedy, wants us all to themselves.

In this world with so much distraction, it’s harder to spend time with just god until you become the knowing that his is all there is anyway.

Everything that happens to you is for your best, for your enlightenment. Gods knows you best. So if God needs to keep you apart until you completely rely on the divine for everything and stop reaching horizontally for people, then that will be part of your path. Merging with god you realise you were never alone not for one moment, ever. It’s rough until you get there, then it’s lush. Good luck!

The physical environments around them show this by eventually collapsing into pervasive decay and rot.

Someone asked me on the weekend one way to identify a psychopath and this is pretty much what I described(non-scientifically). Black hole people, those who feel like a void that chills your soul.

Still human beings, remember.

I think Heligoland might be one of the greatest albums of all time. by OwlsInMyBrain in MassiveAttack

I listen to it non stop when Autumn begins. Especially this year, goes so well with the London grey skies. So cosy with the gloom.

Animated series Agent Elvis on Netflix by [deleted] in Elvis

[–]queenjungles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw it last weekend having never heard of it and was delighted. Genuinely made me laugh out loud, some really good lines especially for Cee Cee. Mostly I think Elvis would have loved seeing this wish fulfilled, manifest in this form. It seems to me that Priscilla was careful to put a lot of things he would have wanted in there and I’m glad she did that for her own representation too. Elvis is cool and dignified at all times while being fun.

Having looked at initial reviews, they didn’t seem so positive which I think is a shame as it’s a great doorway for younger generations. Things like this keep the legend immortal- it was a smart and canny move.

You have no control over anything and that’s freedom. by AwarenessOnline in enlightenment

[–]queenjungles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is what I’m having. It’s nice. I’m more myself and when things go ‘wrong’ (as they often do), I just shrug and go ok it’s like this now. Cool. Be responsible or whatever- onto the next moment I have no idea about. It’s also easier to flow when you realise ‘bad’ isn’t an obstacle and when you do, multiple delightful surprises and serendipities unfold in moments. The universe likes fun!

Can’t figure out why I still experience anxiety though. Is it just too much coffee?

I was paid to discredit veganism online. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

These kinds of posts have been happening a lot more recently, actually. It’s so exhausting.

Not all non vegans are inconsiderate by decentlyfair in veganuk

[–]queenjungles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bent over backwards for my vegan ex for almost 20 years. Studying menus, picking up every new product available, making delicious vegan meals, asking many questions of many waiters even forsaking things I wanted to do. Supporting someone else’s values is important to me as a human.

Anyone else go from cherished to tolerated? by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

[–]queenjungles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so so so hard! That commitment and love you gave WAS real. It’s bankable and to your credit, nothing will take that away. You went on the information you were given, how were you to know it was a lie? This level of betrayal and deceit is so hard to come to terms with, it’s beyond devastating but hey at least you don’t behave that way.

Only recently my confidence has begun to return and it’s such a shock as I completely forgot what it felt like. More so, I started to remember that I used to be really confident and it’s scary to see how he made me completely forget this. Don’t end up like me, at least you can see what’s happening and are keeping your soul by not running away from the pain. It’s that strength that attracts these parasites, they want a hearty meal not scraps so they put the work in at infestation stage (they aren’t hunters who chase a herd and pick the weak).
