@RealJamesPierce @naval Awakening is a particularly lucid dream..

The Standards: You wake up each morning perfectly at peace. Your life is exactly as you desire it to be. It is what you might call dynamically balanced—there are moving pieces, things you are heading towards and things you are leaving, but you have the feeling that everything is right where it should be. Your mind can become quiet at a moment’s notice. The instant you desire it, it becomes a reality. There is no ‘gap’. In fact much of your time is spent not thinking, but not because you actively seek this out. It is just where you happen to find yourself. You are completely free from desire. You have your preferences, yet you feel entirely unmoved by them. Your mind no longer fixates on objects with the intent of satisfying itself. You do not react emotionally to things. Emotions come as they always have, they are felt as they have always been, but they lack the overwhelming nature that once threw you off balance. You find your experience entirely absent of certain emotions like anger, anxiety, fear, or jealousy. The present moment is your closest companion. It is your natural resting place. So much so that you no longer see any significance in it, just as a fish sees no significance in water. It just is. You no longer have any compulsion to run from it. You move freely through life because you are not attached to anything. You take things as they come, and enjoy them for what they are rather than hating them for what they are not. You dive headfirst into your relationships without fear because you know that you could never be hurt. Life feels impersonal. There is no longer a ‘you’ at the center of it. There is no sense of self, no owner of ‘your’ experience. It is almost as if you are hollow, that beneath your skin there exists only a vast expanse of space, but it is a fullness rather than an emptiness. It is the feeling of being complete. If anything here does not feel perfectly true to you, is not reflected in your experience, you still have further left to go.

@RealJamesPierce This is exactly what happens when the ego thinks it has awakened.. the question to ask is; who is speaking/thinking/writing this?

@EckhartTolle What you are is always present. Indeed, how can Presence not be present?

"The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever you are able to observe your mind you are no longer trapped in it." - Eckhart Tolle

@EckhartTolle Yes, acceptance is a panacea

“The basis for true change is freedom from negativity. And that's what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is.” - Eckhart Tolle

@naval Zero is conceptual, One is actual

There is no path to One that does not involve going through Zero.

@kenr @RajaXg When practice and practitioner are one, there is neither..

@RajaXg vipassana.com/meditation/min…

Finished my first 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat. Silent and fully disconnected. It was hard. I will link some resources in the thread to learn more about this. For the AI nerds, I would summarize my experience as "Attention and equanimity is all you need"

@naval And the best use of attention is attention to awareness of Self

The currency of life isn’t money. It is not even time. It’s attention.

@EckhartTolle You are the eternal Present

@NavalismHQ @naval Who/What is I?

I, and I alone, am responsible for everything I think and feel. @naval

@EckhartTolle The Present is not always beautiful, but it is always beautiful to be Present

"If the imagined future is better, it gives you hope or pleasurable anticipation. If it is worse, it creates anxiety. Both are illusory." - Eckhart Tolle
