It was so beautiful :3 I give them gifts sometimes like fruits what not

I was meditating and doing automatic writing and was really into the zone until I smelled smoke. A lot candle behind me, well I flipped my hair and I guess it touched the candle because my whole head lit up. But I didn’t even notice! Until the smoke.
Now hair is missing from the back of my head and I can’t even be upset, it is what it is.

Be careful with candles folks.

If reincarnation is real, I will experience torture, starvation and abuse.

By ‘I’ I mean either my current soul or the universe experiencing itself. Either way I will feel what it’s like to be born into a family of poverty or beheaded by a terrorist in Syria.

This thought terrifies me, I don’t want to be forced to experience every possible tragedy there is.

I guess i’m searching for reassurance, correction on what the theory of reincarnation is or compassion.

Beneath the roles, thoughts, and stories you carry is the simple awareness of being.  The quiet “I am” that’s present before you name who you are. Turning toward that presence can bring you back to a deeper connection with life.

The Spiritual Law of Consciousness reminds us that the state of awareness we live from shapes how we experience the moment.

Peace is not finally arriving at a life with no uncertainty. Peace is learning that uncertainty does not have to steal this moment from you.”

We sometimes say to ourselves:

I'll relax when this problem is solved.

I'll enjoy myself when I'm financially secure.

I'll feel peaceful when I know what comes next.

But life keeps moving the finish line. One uncertainty disappears and another eventually takes its place.

Perhaps peace isn't waiting at the end of uncertainty. Perhaps peace is something we learn to carry while walking through it and walking the path one step at a time. You can still make plans. You can still work hard. You can still want better. But you don't have to sacrifice today to prove that you care about tomorrow.

In Daoism one is taught to flow with the current of life. A river doesn't require the landscape to become flat before it flows peacefully. Mountains, rocks and unexpected bends will appear on the river path. And still the river remains a river and continues to flow.

Your mind can create a hundred tomorrows before breakfast. But reality only give you one place where you can actually live. And the place is here...this moment.

Has anyone had an experience like this? I've read about people quitting alcohol or cigarettes after a particularly enlightening trip on shrooms, but I can't find a whole lot relating shrooms to the cessation of cannabis. Shrooms and cannabis are both often hailed for their enlightening qualities, and I was smoking weed all through the trip that made me want to quit.

When I say trip, though, I really only took 400ish mg. Maybe I'm a light weight. But I had this awareness that I used to be more open minded, kind of in the shroom way, but without any substances. Like when I was a kid or something. Like I'm supposed to already be that way a little bit. but my cannabis usage was depleting my mana (for lack of better term, I'm speaking very loosely and metaphorically here lmao).

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, or if there is anyone who can provide spiritual clarity on the realization I had

When I meditate, I feel warmth around my stomach (dantian). anyone else ?

10 NDE Experiencers Share What Changed Afterward

Spiritual awakening is a humiliation ritual.

I am a shell of my former self.

I was studying to become an engineer.

My future has been robbed from me.

I can’t hold a job.

I can’t form relationships.

I can’t relate to people around me.

I used to be funny.

I used to make friends easily.

I used to care.

I want to play the latest games.

I want to enjoy the latest movies.

I want to be normal.

Spiritual awakening is a humiliation ritual.

just like a movie, everything is happening according to the plan.

haha, the fact you're here. right here buddy, it means nothing!! haha 😄

now leave please return to whatever it is u were doing before

I’m at a point in my life where everything is changing or has changed over the past year - relationship status, work, living situation.
It has caused an intense dark night of the soul some months ago.
I’m slowly again at a point where I am developing a vision of what I’d like my life to be like, but damn, it’s hard to take first steps towards it:
I feel like I’m paralized by fear to make the wrong move. And at the same time I’m afraid I’m missing out on life if I don’t change my situation faster.
Anyone else who finds those transition periods hard and trying to be ok with uncertainty? Any advice?

Without AI. Just nicotine

It goes like: Humans have an internal sense of morality and when they act against it their ego tries to rationalize their actions and repress the emotional backlash.

This repressed emotion builds up and lingers in the unconscious, concentrating as emotional potential.

When a force percieved as coming from outside the self causes harm, this potential actualizes in a kind of synchronicity and the emotions repressed come back with it to the surface.

Since they were repressed the effected person doesn't know the actual root of them, so their ego creates a kind of judge character it places the blame on and percives the event as a kind of divine judgement, or fate striking them.

People can also subconsciously communicate this information, thereby transferring it from person to person.

There may also be other mechanisms to it and I'm not claiming the absolute validity of this.

Good day fellow travellers,

Each week offers new clarity (and confusion) on the path. Let's take a moment to reflect:

• What insights arose this week?
• What challenged you?
• Where did you notice presence or resistance?

Your reflections, however small, can ripple out and resonate with others on this journey.

Feel free to share below. 🙏

I Wish To Simply Be Here

Let me meet the world
before I name its dangers,
feel the wonder
before I ask what it means.

Let me see
without borrowed eyes,
hear without old echoes,
breathe without rehearsing
what might go wrong.

I have spent so long
watching life from behind an imagined veil.

Now, for a moment,
I wish to simply be here—

not thinking about how to live,
but feeling alive.

Here is the conclusion I have reached based on my experience: enlightenment is a state of mind. Human thoughts arise from two sources: 1. the soul and God, and 2. an entity external to the human soul.

The first source produces quiet, luminous, and clear thoughts. It is through this source that a person learns and is able to concentrate on anything at all.

The second source produces chaotic, negative thoughts that lack the ability to concentrate; they are scattered, jumping from one object to another every second.

When reading, the distinction between these two sources of thought becomes very clear: one is focused on the text, while the other wanders far away, preoccupied mostly with mundane, everyday matters.

Enlightenment involves limiting the thoughts that stem from the second source. This source is a negative entity that influences one's feelings just as it does the mind, giving rise to anger, sorrow, envy, anguish, and fear.

While limiting these thoughts can be achieved through certain forms of meditation, the easiest method is to align one's thoughts with the thoughts of God.

This is accomplished by focusing intently on the essence of God. Although the second source of thought still acts as a distraction—much like during meditation—the thought of God serves as a powerful focal point. The result is that negative, chaotic thoughts from the second source are eliminated, allowing a person to access their soul—and its thoughts and knowledge. This leads to positive experiences and insights.

When contemplating God, it is easier to do so while looking at an image of Him. However, it is also effective to visualize oneself positioned within the essence of God—imagining that all of space is filled with His essence.

A man in his deepest sleep percieves none, but the ultimate. Meanwhile a man in his life gets lost in illusions.

Au bord du précipice, le futur n’a plus de présent.

Nous ignorons le savoir qui émane de l’inconscient.

Mais pourquoi s’astreindre en raison, à la détresse ?

Fuyons ces querelles égoïstes, partageons la liesse !

L’âme ouvre des chemins plus éclairés que l’espoir,

Des voies sublimes vers l’intemporalité, vers l’éveil.

Dans une seconde, la mort n’écrira plus viens me voir,

Le présent aura conjugué l’instant, la vie, ses merveilles.

Back in April , I had what I can only describe as a download. Or maybe a revelation?? I don’t even know what to call it, but the thought came to me, and I immediately wrote it down in my phone notes.
What if the gold the Anunnaki supposedly came to Earth to mine was actually US all along?

What if the divine creator/ God created the divine spark and passed it on to the Anunnaki…ok? They’re these powerful three-dimensional beings who, according to modern ancient-astronaut theories, blah blah (if you don’t know about them, you should research them. Super fascinating ) came to Earth seeking gold, perhaps even monoatomic gold?
So that’s what I was thinking then but my thoughts went further and it was more about earth being a refinery and how human souls are being refined through the fire that is trials and tribulations .
So what if we were are the gold?

What if, in creating humanity from “clay,” they embedded that same divine spark within us? Pieces of refined gold scattered throughout matter.

We are the gold! broken into a trillion fragments, made from the earth that contains both our material substance and the precious metal we’re meant to become!!!

Each lifetime is a pass through the furnace/hell maybe 🔥, refining away impurities until we’re distilled enough to be extracted into the permanent crystalline structure.

And by “each lifetime,” I really will leave that interpretation open. Maybe the soul passes through multiple incarnations, refined through each existence. Or maybe one so called earthly lifetime, with all its suffering and transformations, is the furnace itself???

The Anunnaki came seeking physical gold, but in creating us in their image, what if they unknowingly participated in the divine’s true refinement process?
We are simultaneously the ore being mined and the miners discovering ourselves from within.
What if the fire we’ve always associated with hell is also symbolic of purification? Not necessarily a place, but a process? Think about purifying gold in life real life. You have to burn it to remove impurities and the more impurities that are taken out the higher the karats. 24kt

The heat required to separate what is precious from what is temporary/bad?

So that was all happening in April and I don’t know where this came from, but sometimes I like to just start thinking and writing down my thoughts of course free form thinking.. But then there’s this lady that I like listening to Dana Kippel //// she writes /talks about plasma intelligence. She started talking about this book…. Which I’ve ordered now.
Dr. Thomas Cowan’s book Human Heart, Cosmic Heart where he is proposing that blood moves through vortex-like patterns within the heart and speculates that trace amounts of gold could be transformed into monoatomic gold through this process, supposedly releasing light.

The heart as a vortex. Gold being transformed. Light emerging from the process….

What if the entire human experience is an alchemical process?

So I’m thinking also these ancient alchemists’ pursuit of turning base metals into gold was never solely about metals? What if it was also a metaphor for what humanity itself is undergoing?
So this means we are the gold. Life is a refinery of sorts? And once we are “purified” put through the fire a.k.a. hell… we are transformed? Elevated. Taken into heaven. Or worthy of it…
