Resolute single-minded focus is required to be your best. When you aim for your best, you are closing in on the Ultimate best, the Absolute.

The ego is not your enemy. People have egos because subconsciously every mind wants to be like the Ultimate ego: The Absolute.

Love and peace alone is not enlightenment, just as foreplay is not climax. Only through the Crown can you experience the Ultimate endless crescendo of consciousness by continuously "peaking" with inspiration.

You cannot be awakened, if there is no you. You cannot find if you are seeking. You cannot be liberated if there is no one to liberate. In this way, being impersonal is not enlightenment because of the inherent contradiction. When your heart is overflowing with love, you realize that you don't want to dissociate yourself from this, your own authenticity.

Champions don't surrender. Winners don't wave a white flag. Resoluteness is a form of Defiance, because only an individual can be the most resolute. There is nothing more resolute than the Absolute.

Potentiate your potential. Be maximal.

Defiance is a path. Be resolute.

The Truth is defiant.

"Potentiate your potential" - this means that your potential is greater than you can conceive of. No one can fully know your potential, including you. Any idea that you or anyone has about you will always be less than the True you, which is your unrealized potential.

"Be Maximal" - This means being receptive to experience a fluidly maximum perception of your deeper identity.

Losers surrender. Champions never give up.

I consider that only your inauthenticity can be unraveled.

Life should be a personalized experience not an impersonal one. It's like the difference between a custom suit and JC Penney.

Your life is tailored to you and it is not a life mass produced on the factory floor.

All Truth defies conformity, defies change and defies oppression.

It's the part of us that isn't Truth that can change.

Absolute Truth doesn't surrender. If Absolute Truth exists within your microcosm, your soul, the Truth of you cannot surrender to Truth. It is impossible.

To be able to surrender is to identify with a lesser version of You.

The only part that can be surrendered is a misconception of who you are.

Who is that authority that says the other will is greater ?

Seeing yourself as a victim is not seeing yourself as a master.

I'm a shepherd who wants the sheep to become shepherds.

The ultimate challenge of Enlightenment to me is finding the deeper You that nothing can unsettle.

"Defiance is a path." This means to be stubborn about being Whole and to defy anything external that tries to convince you otherwise. Let nothing drag you down. Be defiant against any external attempts at this. Refuse to be a victim or to have the victim mentality. Even the gods respect strength and any god that demands your surrender or subservience is not a god worthy of such. The Truth is that the Absolute does not want anyone's surrender and you can be stronger than any god while never surrendering.

No retreat, no surrender.

Full enlightenment and empowerment can occur by simply advancing defiantly in symbiosis with the Absolute.

I created this path of Defiance just to prove that enlightenment doesn't require surrender or conformity.

Defiance itself is spiritual, or, at least, can be, in proper context.

Sam claims to have fasted for 6 months, the last 2 months with no water.

In physical, reality is never as good as the fantasy. In spirituality, the fantasy is never as good as the Reality.

The important thing that people don't realize is that there is no external Authority.

There is only an internal Authority that you are either aware of or that you are not.

Yes, there is an Absolute version of what is sacred.

God Is so magnificent that you don't need to look outside to find It.

People look for it all over the place but actually the one place most important to find It is within yourself.

All evil among humans is merely a disconnection from your inner Authority.

This is why people feel inspired to close their eyes to fully appreciate the natural beauty around them, when they find an idyllic spot in nature. It reminds them of the beauty that exists within.

External desire also is not to be confused with having personal preferences in terms of what food you want to eat or what clothing you want to wear or what kind of car or house you want to buy. These are practical considerations that do not necessarily lead you to feeling incomplete or feelings of unsettling desire.

The experience of samadhi happens when the observer feels complete. Any feeling of incompleteness will be an obstacle to liberation. Desire is far from the only motivator, and I see that all vices that common thread of desire entwined within them. Fear is an urgent desire for safety, greed is a desire for money, envy is desire for what someone has, etc etc. This is why I say desire in this context is the chief obstacle of liberation, because when you desire in this way, you feel incomplete. Fortunately there is a solution, as, from my experience, the opposite of desire is love. Employers will often choose employees that would love to work there more than choose employees that merely desire to work there.

Whereas love is an authentic heartfelt motivator, external desire is insincere and alien. The other motivator is to do what you feel inspired to do, the purest form of this is Divine inspiration.

++++++++

Fortunately, certain liberated and empowered individuals develop a strong field / expanded aura of brilliance that purifies and repels the energy of effortlessly just by their mere presence.

In this fashion, humans can be liberated into a more natural state of doing what they love and feel inspired to do, not out of a feeling of incompleteness, but instead do things as a form of creative expression and wholeness.

Where misunderstandings occur is when people claim that because greed is bad, money also must be bad, which is false. You can love money and accumulate it, free from desire. The key here is to never feel incomplete regardless of if you have money or if you don't (as an example) ..

Also, because sex can evoke desire and a feeling of incompleteness, some have falsely concluded that celibacy is a prerequisite for enlightenment. This also is false. Sex can be a beautiful act motivated by love. You can love sex and engage in it enjoyably, free from the feeling of desire, just by coming from a place of love.

In fact, with true mastery, there are no limits to what you can or cannot do, because nothing external can evoke feelings of desire within you, but only love and inspiration.

The Ultimate Individual

The Absolute is a unique singularity that is the Best in all things. I call it the Ultimate individual.

When we discover ourselves more deeply, we recognize our connection with the Absolute, which makes us even more of an individual.

It is the best potential for all things and yet it is so unique that it makes each individual not the same but more unique.

For each individual, there is a different flavor of Best, that can only be experienced by that person.

The Best is not just an idea. It is who you are, the Truest version of you.

The Absolute has free will, and those who become liberated also have free will, just like the Absolute. Otherwise it is not liberation.

You can be in harmony with the Absolute while also pursuing excellence (or not) in whatever discipline you choose. For example, is impossible to be a champion of any sport without being an individual.

If you have no ambition and willing to satisfy yourself as being "nothing special" then the philosophy of "no free will" may be a good fit for you.

If however you, feel called inwardly to excel and be a pioneer or champion in a discipline, you literally cannot do these things without acknowledging your individuality.

It is only by removing the limited conceptions of who you think you are that you can truly become limitless.

+++++++++++

All roads lead back to Self. It is inevitable. Choice is an illusion.

From my perspective, nothing physical is conscious. What we experience through our senses is just the outer manifestation of consciousness.

The concept of all is nothing means that all physical reality is just the illusory container that life chooses to express itself as. It is one lens.

Free will alone is not liberation unless in endless inspiration.

The Absolute Truth is One. When your mind tapped into it, or rather it is tapped into you, a symbiosis occurs because Bliss is an ocean in which every mind can swim.

There is no compulsion on anyone to feel love and bliss. However, you can't feel love by being disconnected from your own heart. You can't feel inspiration if you are disconnected from the One Living Truth.

True hierarchy is not about crowning some outside force as lord, it is about crowning the best version of yourself. The fact is that the Absolute pervades all. It is a benevolent force that wants to empower and liberate. Why does it do this? Because it is the Ultimate version of you. It is so all-powerful and immutable because it exists always even before the creation of physicality itself. It is the Creator, but deeper than that, it is inescapable because it is the formless You. This vast Ultimate is not the final anything, it is Ultimate because there is nothing better than it, it is incomparable and there is nothing outside of it. It is greater than any mind or entity, no physical being can fully represent it. This is why it is One and yet it can be the truest version of each of us at the same time. The Love itself is an emanation of this Absolute Truth.

To oppose this is to fight your very heart and be against love itself. I have no misunderstandings about this. When you finally "get it" you will realize that there are only two sides to be on. The winning side or the losing side. The only losers are those who stubbornly cling to their delusions and even they will be swept up in the tide that is happening right now.

Everyone is naturally selfish. People may deny it since nobody wants to be seen as "selfish", but we all put who we identify with, first. You may at this point and protest, "Who do you think you are to tell me that I am selfish ? You don't know me. I make sacrifices and prioritize for my family, my spouse and my friends all the time."" I'm sure you are a good person and mean well, but by the concept of selfish I mean, you only care about what is you and yours. Your family, Your friends, Your spouse or romantic partner, your colleagues, your classmates. You get the idea.

The irony is that putting yourself last is the most selfish thing you can do, but with a capital S. Be Selfish.

By putting yourself last does that mean you let others walk all over you? No it doesn't, because they key behind being last is about putting the Best in everyone before you. This selfish act is done because you recognize that the Best in you is also in them. This cannot be stressed enough. By helping Best in others to emerge, you are literally helping your Self. Some may regard this activity as selfless, but actually it is Selfish. Selfishness is good. The problem is not about if you are selfish or not. We all are. It is natural to be selfish. It is only when we have a limited conceptualization of self that selfishness is a problem. When our concept of self becomes limitless, then you don't stop being selfish, it is just your realization expands into a much more expanded view that encompasses everyone. This means, not only your friends and your family and people you know, but to people you don't know. However, this is not a weakness, but a strength, because your standards are now much higher. You accept and recognize nothing but the best in others and you develop also the ability to recognize when they are not being their Best. 

Making yourself last is only used in the context of authenticity. If others are not sincere, you do not put their insincerity before you. By being last, only the Best is before you.

The selfishness within you is natural and should not be stopped, instead you become even more intensely Selfish. This concept may be hard in the beginning to wrap your head around, but once you do, you realize the reason why they say that a True master is the Greatest servant.

The master doesn't help you out of a sense of charity or pity, but out of a genuine Selfishness that wants to see you be the Best within you awaken. The reason for this is because of a genuine interest is seeing the Absolute, the Ultimate, manifest into the physical while making the biggest and most lasting impact that will ripple out into future generations.

Therefore, by being last, you in fact make your Self first.

On this podcast we cover topics of shamanism, chakras, spirituality, feminism, femininity and enlightenment.

I guess it all depends on how you define what it is to be liberated. Some on the extreme might even say that not identifying with self is liberating because then you are no longer responsible for what you do. Others might say meaninglessness is liberating because then you don't need to search for meaning anymore. I say liberation is when nothing external can affect you negatively, when you have full freedom to be who you are, wherever you are, and no matter how toxic the people in your environment are.

It's like being on a stage where the entire audience hates you, but you can just smile at them blissfully, while sending them love. That is liberation to me.

Personally, I don't feel drawn to worship, but it is a valid path, going all the way back to Bakti Yoga . By worshipping your ideals, you can become closer with your ideals, especially if you don't imagine a huge difference between you and the object of worship, i.e. allowing deep intimacy with your ideal, instead of reaffirming how great God is and how low and obscure you are. Instead, the belief should allow God to embrace you and lift you up and share in the Glory.

When you get to the exalted place via Bakti, ironically it becomes less about worship because you are intoxicated all the time in the energy. You are just being in the moment and accepting the Grace and wondrousness of it all, continuously. This also is how fanaticism is born, because they become even more fervent in their belief in scripture because of their perceived results, not realizing that there is a common thread leading to that experience that is beyond scripture and book knowledge.

The Ultimate individual is the Absolute, which is a singularity. Although it is One, it pervades all things. The same is true in the microcosm of being human. Through your individuality, you also can have the experience of pervading all. Being an individual is not a limitation but the Ultimate unity.

Being human is like being thrown into a realistic VR experience and you think what you are seeing is real to such a degree that you forget your deeper identity.

Many people intuitively feel that the limited idea of who they are is wrong. Some of those people then assume that individuality itself is wrong.

It's is not individuality that is wrong, but your misconception of self.

Everything is set up to be a paradise. The only missing ingredient is that people don't see the paradise that is here already.

Instead what is amplified is war and viruses and violence

The Absolute is you, the Ultimate version of You.

In fact, for the Absolute to exist, it must be the truest version of you.

How is it possible that the Absolute can be One and yet it is also the truest version of everyone? You might ask.

That is an excellent question. The Absolute is so awesome and expansive that no mind is large enough or powerful enough to contain it all. Thus, to have some semblance of manifestation into physical reality, different aspects and portions of This are diversified through every human. The purpose of this is not to make a carbon copy of the Absolute and make everyone the same, this would be impossible. Instead, it expresses itself through the uniqueness of each individual which gives unlimited potential to aspire towards. The more awesome you become, the closer to the Absolute you become in power, capabilities, intelligence, fortitude and wisdom, among others.

It is what puts limitlessness into the concept of potential, regardless of species.

So how is individuality the Ultimate unity? Unlike collective consciousness or groupthink, which are fraught with limitation (collective consciousness cannot bestow enlightenment), only via the Absolute can you truly be One with the universe and the spark of the infinite that connects all of us. But instead of conformity to an ideology, it brings True liberation. The collective consciousness may be vast but only the Absolute is free from limitation entirely. 

Why is it unity? Because it is One. It is complete consummation with the best of everything that IS.

Freedom From Belief

When you are in the continuous experience of being, there is no need to believe, because direct inspiration negates the need to have any belief.

If you are in the arms of your father, do you need to believe that your father exists?

It is only by being in the realm of all possibilities that the limitations of physical reality can loosen their grip on you.

One of the biggest deceptions ever devised was to convince people that life can end.

To define life by biological sensual parameters is to underestimate reality.

Only material existance, the most superficial version of life, can have the illusion of death.

Death itself was created as a release from sensual prison. So that you don't need to be stuck in a biological body forever. Biology itself is a limitation in a sense, because your unlimited consciousness is being confined into a mortal shell and conditioned to believe in your mortality.

The whole concept that biological life is the real life because we can measure it is the exact opposite of what life actually is.

Real life is freedom from any limitation. Whereas biology is a celebration of limitation, in a way.

Anything measurable is limited. By measuring ourselves, we limit ourselves.

I no longer have any beliefs. The concept of belief is an obsolete idea when you are more fully conscious.

When omnipresent Truth is experienced, you don't need to believe anything anymore.

The problem is not that everything exists, its that people are not thinking big enough. They have small ideas about themselves and the possibilities.

Limitation is only a result of being in this biological world. If it is possible to bend the rules of physics, it would only be possible when your own limitations are removed in your mind.

When we become close-minded, we are turning off this potential and making it dormant instead of activating it.

As for me, I aspire to find the limits of the possible in what it means to be human. To find out what kind of superhuman feats and miracles that can be accomplished.

+++++++++++++++

I've been challenging everything including gods, gurus, and authority figures all my life. Being fearless and speaking truth to power has gotten me into trouble on occasion. It's given me actual scars and put me into life threatening situations. What some may write off as dreaming, for me it is reality.

It comes down to what is the nature of reality? Is it reality only because it is experienced via one or more of the 5 senses? Even this can be doubted unless there are witnesses.

This is a problem. Reality then becomes physical verifiable phenomena only. Dreams from dreamers like Walt Disney are not considered real until something like Disneyland or Disney World is made. But the world was already there before he built it. In the same way , the Absolute existed before the first holy book was written. It wasn't events on Earth that defined it, but rather events on Earth are a result of it. As above. So below.

The vast expanse of physical reality is infinitesimal compared to the overwhelming magnitude of the Absolute.

To Seek Is To Not Find

Even in musical melodies, multiple instruments are perceived together as one. The mind can trick you into thinking you are multitasking, but like a cpu, it is only oscillating multiple inputs quickly, each processed one by one.

When you desire love, you are not loving, for if you have love, you feel desireless. If you want peace, you are not peaceful. If you seek truth, you don't have it. It is only when we stop seeking or wanting that we can have everything.

"To experience the infinite requires infinite patience." - Swami Sivananda. 

Yes, you can love desire, and by doing that, instead of feeling desire, you experience desirelessness. Love liberates your heart. Truth liberates your mind.

Love is part of your most authentic self. To not feel love is to be insincere. If you are insincere you are not your Self. If you are not yourself you cannot be independent. Independence is the freedom to be yourself.

Non-attachment is the first step to mastering it. The only reason non-attachment is possible is because it is not You. If it was you, then you would be inseparable from it.

Just as your arms have less intelligence than your brain, so also, not all sources of knowledge are equal. Some perspectives are truer than others. The addle-minded addict is generally going to have a more limited perspective than someone who is more clear-headed. External desire in many ways is like nicotine. People get addicted to the rush of it and forget that other more superior experiences exist. Why desire something when you can love something? Why is desire seemingly more popular than love? People are addicted to desire because it is all they know and haven't tasted love yet. As more people taste love, less people will choose desire. Desire will feel its power slipping and be screaming and try to coerce others to let it dominate them.

The Yoga Sutras describe the way to regain Higher Consciousness.

By Roger Gabriel

The Yoga Sutras describe the way to regain Higher Consciousness. As you follow the Eight Limbs of Yoga, you can reach the freedom and enlightenment of Samadhi, the realization of your spiritual practices.

In his illuminating text, The Yoga Sutras, the sage Patanjali introduces a systematic path to regain Higher Consciousness. This has since been called Raja Yoga or the Royal Path, a journey of techniques and lifestyle guidelines to awaken the mind to its true Self. Within the text, Patanjali provides a concentrated set of instructions known as the Eight Limbs of Yoga, culminating in a state of freedom, liberation, ecstasy, and enlightenment—Samadhi, the realization of all your spiritual practices.

Meditative Absorption

Patanjali explains that Samadhi is a state of meditative absorption, attained by the practice of Dharana (focused attention) and Dhyana (effortless meditation) when the True Essential Nature is known, without the distortion of the mind. It can be thought of as the culmination of your meditation process. Samadhi is the mind in its most concentrated state and can be compared to normal thought as a laser beam can be compared to normal light. The awareness of the meditator, process of meditation, and the object of your meditation have all merged into one. From knowledge, you have become knowingness. The mind in Samadhi possesses power that a normal mind does not, making it the main tool the Yogi uses to achieve the end goal of yoga—the joining of the individual self with the Universal Absolute.

Be Deserving

The Vedas say that everything in the Universe has awareness. Rocks, plants, animals, and humans all have awareness to a greater or lesser degree. The Vedas also state that only humans have the potential for self-awareness. Dogs, for example, don’t ask, “Who am I?” This means that every human being has the potential to become fully self-aware and reach the state of Samadhi. However, practice alone does not guarantee Samadhi. The Guru Gita says Moksha mulam, guroh kripa—the root of liberation is the Guru’s Grace. To reach Samadhi, you have to deserve it.

Samadhi is beyond the normal mind and intellect, which makes describing it somewhat difficult; it can only be fully appreciated by direct experience. Samadhi has several levels of refinement through which you may ascend.

Level 1: Savikalpa Samadhi

This first level of Samadhi has within it four different stages. The beginning stages of Savikalpa Samadhi are where, during meditation, you transcend all mental activity. Patanjali says that, for a short period of time, you lose all human consciousness. In this state, the concepts of time and space are altogether different. For a minute, an hour, or more you are in another world. Now you see that practically everything happens spontaneously—you have nothing to do. Thoughts and ideas do not affect you. You remain undisturbed, and your inner being functions in a dynamic and confident manner.

However, this is not yet a permanent state and everybody has to return to ordinary consciousness. As you begin to integrate this undisturbed state of silence along with the disturbed states of waking, dreaming and sleeping, Patanjali describes the four stages of Savikalpa Samadhi that are possible.

Stage 1. Sarvitarka Samadhi:

Here the mind totally focuses on the gross aspect of a physical object. This is described as “examination” or learning the “inner secrets” of the object. In this stage, every aspect of the object is understood and you gain full knowledge of the physical object.

Stage 2. Savichara Samadhi:

Now the mind moves beyond the outer layers of the object and the subtle aspects of objects (tanmatras) are contemplated or “discerned.” The abstract qualities such as rednesses, beauty, love or the sound, texture, form, flavor, etc. of the object begin to be understood.

Stage 3. Sa-ananda Samadhi:

Here the mind is devoid of the objective world, you move beyond the intellect. There is no reasoning or reflection, just the tranquility of the settled mind. The sattvic (pure) mind is only aware of its own joy. The focus is on the inner powers of perception and within the mind itself. It’s known as a “blissful” Samadhi filled with joyful peace.

Stage 4. Sa-Asmita Samadhi:

Now even the bliss has gone and you are just here. Only the satvic (pure) ego, the I-ness remains, the I AM. Simple awareness of individuality—you are here and aware of nothing else. This is the ego-sense in its elemental form. No fear, no desire. This Samadhi can be likened to what is known in the Shankara Tradition as Cosmic Consciousness. The mind becomes fully Awake, it is a state of witnessing of the material world and you become aware of the Divinity (Bliss) within yourself.

In Savikalpa Samadhi, the samskaras (latent tendencies or past impressions which condition your life and desires) have not been dissolved. They still remain in seed form. The Great Indian Saint, Ramana Maharshi, described Savikalpa Samadhi as "holding on to reality with effort.” In this Samadhi, the concentrated mind can begin to access some of the “lesser” yogic powers (Siddhis).

However, because the ego is still present, you must be careful how you choose to use these powers. If you use them with a pure motive, you can greatly serve humanity and will progress on your spiritual journey with humility. If you choose to use them for personal greed and ambition, you may cause harm and stall your spiritual progress.

Level 2: Nirvikalpa Samadhi

Nirvikalpa Samadhi is a higher state of awareness where the ego and samskaras have been dissolved and only Consciousness remains.

Patanjali says the material world has become like a shadow from which you are completely free. In Nirvikalpa Samadhi there is no mind as you know it—there is only infinite peace and bliss. Here nature's dance stops, and the knower and the known become one. Here you enjoy a supremely divine, all-pervading, self-amorous ecstasy. You become the object of enjoyment, the enjoyer, and the enjoyment itself.

Now the heart is fully awake. In Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the first thing you feel is that your heart is larger than the universe itself. The universe appears as a tiny dot inside your vast heart. Here, there is infinite bliss and infinite power. You not only feel bliss, but actually become bliss.

This Samadhi is similar to the Divine Consciousness described in the Shankara Tradition, a state of deep love for the world and everything in it, recognizing the Divinity in everything. It is entering a celestial realm. You experience Ritambhara Pragya, where your thoughts spontaneously manifest into reality. The past and future are blended into the eternal present. Everything is now. Everything is here. Time and space have been transcended. The exulted blissful state may last for a few hours or a few days. Initially there is no wish to return from this state and it is said that if one stays at this level for 21 days, there is every possibility that the soul will leave the body for good. However, through continued practice, you are able to come down from Nirvikalpa Samadhi and immediately function normally in the world.

Both Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa Samadhis are considered temporary states in that you can only fully experience them by withdrawing from normal life. Even the Great Enlightened Yogis close their eyes to meditate. However, the Yogi’s “normal” life is not as most people experience it. A Yogi is living a life fully supported by the Unbounded Field of Infinite Possibilities. Imagine the whole of manifest creation is touching the front of your body and the unmanifest, Pure Awareness is touching your back. You lean forward and you are in the localized world but the non-local is fully there, supporting your every breath. To quote Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, “It’s living 200 percent of life.”

Level 3: Dharmamegha Samadhi

An even higher level of Samadhi is Dharmamegha or the “Cloud of Virtue” Samadhi.

Patanjali says that this level arises when you have lost even the desire to know God or to be Enlightened. This Samadhi cannot be gained by effort, it reveals itself when all effort has dissolved. It is a Divine Gift, beyond notions of Absolute and relative.

When even the temptations of the Yogic Powers cause no distraction, it is said that Pure Knowledge showers down like a Cloud of Virtue, bringing liberation and the Bliss of the Divine.

This is Jivanmukta—liberation while still in a physical body. The afflictions of all karmas have been removed, the Yogi becomes ever free and shines in his or her own glory. It is said that in this state, the Yogi sees without eyes, tastes without tongue, hears without ears, smells without nose, and touches without skin. His/her mere intention can work miracles. The Yogi simply wills and everything comes into being.

Sahaja Samadhi

Some contemporary saints such as Ramana Maharshi have also talked about Sahaja Samadhi.

This Samadhi could probably be placed between Nirvikalpa and Dharmamega Samadhis. It is where the inner silence is maintained along with normal daily activities. It is being able to maintain the experience of Nirvakalpa Samadhi at all times. Here you radiate Divine Illumination, the Divine is perfectly manifesting through you at every second. You are filled with Divine Grace. It can, perhaps, be likened to the Unity Consciousness of the Shankara Tradition.

With Samadhi as your goal, you should be regular with your spiritual practices, enjoy the blessings that each day brings, and know that everything will be revealed at the right moment."

In fact, the Absolute can do anything it wants and inspire individuals on opposite ends of the globe who are independent of each other and who don't know each even exists.

I would go even further and claim that there is an Ultimate philosophy that allows people to become liberated without a guru. I don't regard any living guru as being able to open the Crown in another, even myself. This is something only the Absolute can do. Teachers/masters can help guide and prepare students to be more receptive to this Ultimate experience, but this ultimate experience is not the relationship between teacher and student but between the Absolute and the practitioner.

Nothing immortal can be destroyed and that Immortal spark is within each of us.

Love does not bring equanimity or discernment. The concept of order itself is a deception.

Chaos/order dichotomy is a false dichotomy invented as a deception.

There is only one true dichotomy. It is authenticity vs inauthenticity . Being truly who you are vs being deluded into being a lesser version of yourself.

When you remove the limits holding you back from being your true identity, you have no need for "order", because you are liberated and naturally operate in harmony with the Universe. For such a person, there is no external authority, with exception to whatever local laws exist.

Liberation is freedom also from "order" and "chaos"

In D&D .. they have "lawful good" / "chaotic good" / etc etc... (if liberated you are none of these) Transcending order means that no external concept of order can interfere with who you are or what you do... what you do is naturally legal, however, and does not violate local laws (perhaps with some exceptions)

There is only one True alignment, and that is the alignment that brings you to a fuller experience of your own authenticity, your Truest Self.

Chaos/order in mathematics is one thing.. but even in math, chaos has a kind of order, just look at the beautiful fractals.

If there is order even in chaos then that is a proof, in a way, of its false dichotomy.

Each individual is responsible for their own alignment. The power of your presence has a direct correlation to your proximity with your own authenticity.

In other words, just be yourself.

The problem becomes when something is preventing you from being yourself. For such a situation, certain empowered individuals help clear the space for that to occur. That is the purpose of the "justication for power" piece.

Mass psychosis is a form of mass ideological possession, which in turn can just be a code word for an external entity/entities being in possession of vast swaths of the human population. The truth is stranger than fiction.

Liberation can only be achieved under the auspices of Independence. If you are possessed and do not have independent control over your own faculties, you are not capable of independently choosing to be independent. In other words, one cannot choose to be free, if the pathways in their mind do not allow them to make that choice. It is a bit of a paradox. So if one were to endeavour to liberate such people, force is required. We must be careful to not misinterpret the concept of force in this scenario.

So what Force then are we referring to? It is a non-violent use of force. It is merely for the mass exorcism of collectivist ideology. It is about pushing out an external conscious entity or entities on a mass scale. Such a feat requires power. Thus, the irrefutable conclusion is that accumulation of immense power is justified. And when the use of such power is wielded, it has the purest intent.

It is the will of higher Nature to bestow such awesome power to liberated individuals, to allow them to forceably exorcize the ideologically possessed, and in so doing bring them to a place whereby they can consciously choose to be free. What we are talking about here is a the ultimate justification to be as powerful as you can be.

This is the ultimate form of altruism.

+++++++++++++++++

Words fall away from experience like a shell falls from the nut.

Every moment is extraordinary not ordinary.

There is no external authority when it comes to Absolute Truth. It can only be experienced personally. No outside person, whether he/she be a guru or a master is more of an authority than what you can experience directly. Anyone who says otherwise is not to be trusted

What is the best method to experience enlightenment?

I am convinced it is about adopting the most unlimited Ultimate philosophy possible, and meditating on that by quieting the mind and focusing it on receiving inspiration from above. When the time is right, it will happen. Ego, in my opinion, is limited mind. Getting to the next level is about removing those limitations. So it isn't about believing, but receiving.

How it happened for me was just about silencing the mind and it finally happened. After it happened is when I started getting inspirations and started writing them down. That has been the purpose of the content I write and podcasts I record. The intent is to create the easiest and widest path possible for illumination. That is the puzzle I am still perfecting.. the magic words to help unlock this potential that exists in everyone, while retaining their full individuality and becoming the best versions of themselves.

The correct way to be is the truest version of yourself and only you can determine that.

This is the essence of individualism. The only way this concept can be corrupted is by not knowing yourself.

"Do you put the individual above the collective?"

Yes, of course. The best collective is the one that protects the weak and the oppressed. There is no smaller or more vulnerable group than the individual. Groups don't need protection.

You can see many examples of how the sovereignty of the individual is oppressed just because a group or institution puts itself first. Look at all the 3 letter agencies.

A collective cannot have a direct relationship with the Absolute. God is One. God is not a collective.

It is a deeply personal relationship, that can only be experienced by each individual, not group.

The only way you can have problems by exalting the individual is if you misunderstand what it means to be an individual.

In my opinion, everything can and will be known, and this fact is an inevitable culmination of human evolution.

Just like Star Wars, the Force has a commonality that can be accessed by everyone who attunes to it.

Yogis are more about bringing Divine energy to Earth and helping others to experience That, thereby being Liberated.

Instead of winners and losers, I want us all to be winners.

Yogis are more about bringing Divine energy to Earth and helping others to experience That, thereby being Liberated.

As far as how the concept of the philosopher and the Yogi relate is the idea that there is an Ultimate philosophy. If you regard that you experience the Truth of the Ultimate philosophy in all its nuances, then you are not only a philosopher but an Ultimate philosopher. The Ultimate philosophy is so vast that it acts like a unified field theory for all philosophies.

Instead of being limited in any way, the Ultimate philosophy provides a framework of viewing existence in a way that doesn't limit it, but instead allows the experience of Reality in the most pure way possible.

Jnana Yoga is the path of knowledge and advocates that full enlightenment can be achieved by learning and knowledge.

I just finished listening to this talk by Jordan Peterson with full attention. He does make some interesting points, but his misunderstanding is that humans are finite and vulnerable. 

The first 2 books of Genesis talks about how how Eve was born from the rib of Adam, and that is a symbol of Love being born from Truth itself. The forbidden fruit is actually the symbol for external desire and the deception that you need something external to feel complete. 

There is a path that leads back to the paradise of Eden, and it is about mastering external desire. 

Another flaw in his reasoning is how he concludes that criminality is born from arrogance or resentment. The true answer goes deeper than that and leads again to external desire.

When you have mastered external desire, it is impossible to feel arrogant or resentful.

The truth is that we are not limited beings, because we have the spark of the Infinite within us. 

What keeps us from experiencing this is the limitations that we have placed upon our own minds whether it be as a result of personal beliefs or external conditioning by society itself.

Also, the Absolute does not lack anything, including limitations. It can be argued that the Absolute experiences limitations through us and our own experiences.

My point is not to invalidate the experiences of others but to discern what is the ideal experience. How to measure what is more ideal is the proximity of the experiencer with independence. My definition of independence is freedom from any kind of external subjugation in whatever form it takes.

I would argue that freedom is not about choices but about the ability to experience the best outcome.

If you are content that you have the best outcome possible, then why would you need a choice?

Vivid dreams of spasmic swirls

Swarms my horrid thoughts

Of green acres past by

Under black clouds of impending doom

Gloom the air of inhaled mist

Pierced only by the bright stars 

Of outlandish hope in an alien landscape

Closed by minds of ignorant others

Embraced by technology and the onslaught of awaited change

To carry it by for eons to come

Can whispers ring true?

Be skeptical of anyone who claims to know themselves fully. The Truth is that knowing yourself is an endless process by design. The spark of the Divine within you is infinite. No matter how much you know, there is always more to discover.

Everyone can be better than they are now. The real balance is to be in harmony with the now and accept the Present before we can realize more fully our potential. Accepting the ordinariness of life should not get in the way of experiencing how extraordinary we are, but instead it allows for the backdrop and contrast that more fully enhances our appreciation of our infinite nature.

A world where complete liberation and incredible power exists, all wielded by ultimate wisdom and intelligence that seeks to benefit all, is not a bad world to live in.

I say Truth is a higher frequency vibration because it is not something that animals can experience

This does not demean love . Love is very important, it is part of what makes us human. Does God need humans ? No it doesn't . It is independent from us, and yet it can be experienced by us.

Do humans need love, yes we do.

It's because we are multi-dimensional entities. God doesn't need to exist on this material plane, but humans do.

It maybe is a difficult and advanced concept to grasp, since Truth is in Love and Love is an expression of Truth

But they are not the same. Just as a rainbow is not light but a refraction of light, love is kind of like a refraction of Truth that is more accessible to lower dimensions.

Anyway, it is just a semantic thing. It is not too important to understand. What is important is both Truth and Love . But the Crown vibrates at a higher frequency than the heart. That is my point. We have these different potentialities within us and the heart is where the soul is and the soul comes from God, it is an unlimited spark of the infinite.

To say that love is a lower frequency than Truth is just acknowledging that there are multiple planes of existence and it is possible to experience the highest plane which is Truth, which is the purest experience of God, the source of all Love.

So if you think Love is great, just imagine how great Truth is. It is a more intensely pleasurable experience than love, if you can imagine that.

In my opinion the next level is about being so full of love and inspiration that you have no room for desire, instead you just radiate Love and ecstasy 24/7 and conspire about how to bring this experience to more people.

I used to think Christ consciousness just meant coming from agape love all the time. I was wrong. It is more than that.

Love is an emanation of Truth. Truth is not an emanation of Love. Just as the heart and mind are different, love and truth are not the same.

+++++++++

We can love, protect, nurture and appreciate every living thing without being attached to them.

Life is about experiencing the beauty in every moment. There are many people who claim to be about accepting everything but many of those reject the concept of a higher intelligence or God. Or they blindly proclaim that God is only Love, without them even experiencing what Truth is. With few exceptions, all beliefs are limitations. If you have the capacity to be offended, then that is proof your perspective is misguided.

No living things are ever in real danger. There is a part of You that knows this is the case. That rebellious and defiant You that makes a stand despite the consequences. You can hold true to this view because of an innate knowing that exists beyond cognition.

++++++

Be in the world, not of the world means to me to gain your strength and fortitude from within and your connection with a higher power, whether you call that nature or something else. The point is not being disconnected, but being connected to your authenticity. What you perceive externally is often not the truest perspective of who you are.

When we connect externally, it can be a form of disconnection internally. This is true especially if you allow external events to make you feel imbalanced internally.

When you understand blissfully the illusion of material life, nothing external can faze you.

God doesn't judge. People judge themselves. This happens because the spark of the infinite is in everyone. Even Putin has It. To regard anyone as separate from God is to have a limited perception.

What God is there to disobey? If he is outside of you, then that becomes a limitation for God, isn't it ?

When you go beyond yin and yang, you have unity.

No matter how corrupt an individual can be, true purity is incorruptible.

God cannot be limited, it pervades all, even those you don't expect.

Just as nature is not one color but many beautiful colors in near infinite shades and combinations, so also does it intend to celebrate the uniqueness of the individual and its many nuances of expression. This is true diversity, not a conformity to androgynousness or groupthink. Instead of dividing by sex or race or sexual orientation, both femininity and masculinity are celebrated in their extremes, recognizing that without them, diversity is impossible and anything less than this is to perpetuate a limited non-diverse perspective.

Some would argue that there is no such thing as Best, but without the Best, the full flavor of the Universe cannot be experienced. Without the Best, your life becomes a delusion of meaninglessness. Thus devoid of purpose, you drift aimlessly and powerlessly, unaware of your own significance.

You are special. You are significant. It is for these reasons that you can experience the Best and thereby your life becomes better than you imagined. To be limitless is to have no limits placed upon your potential, and your potential itself is also limitless. Since the goalpost continually gets extended and expanded, you never reach the fullness of who You are, and that is a good thing. There is no limit to who you are and what you can be, and this is a reason for everyone to celebrate each moment.

From a subjective perspective, God is Great. God's perspective doesn't disagree. Where people get confused is thinking that greatness is a limitation, when it is not.

I think maybe some people want God to be ordinary, so that way they can feel better about themselves also being ordinary. The Truth is that God of course is in everything, the good and the bad. Describing it is about adding, not subtracting.

Isn't it great to be in the good and the bad, the best and the worst? To be the Best means nothing is outside of you, and yet you are still Great. That's because the Whole is more than the sum of Its parts.

The funny thing about groups is that they tend to mob together in unified cynicism toward any "radical" idea outside of established group consensus. Ironically, science has proven that the individuals within a group will be more competent than the aggregate of the group itself. This does not take into account S-tier individuals whose competency will always far exceed anyone who chooses to subjugate their individuality in favor of a group identity. 

Naturally then, this topic is quite controversial. There are those that consider it impossible to be in a permanent state of bliss and love. Some people think that even these experiences should be sacrificed in the favor of an impersonal one. There is a verifiably easy way to settle this dispute. What it comes down to is power.

Equanimity of mind, steadfast and free from external cause and effect, can prove the validity of your metaphysical conclusion. If the refusal to self-identify in the singular is a superior stance, then you should be like a rock in the midst of a stormy sea, resolute in your experience and free from the mundane ups and downs perpetrated upon you by your environment.

If, however, you still are easily triggered, then the objective position would be to retain an open mind to the possibility that your assumptions on the nature of consciousness are incomplete.

There are nuances and layers. The spark of the Ultimate is within us and that is deathless. However, that is the deepest core, not the superficial layers that do have beginnings and endings.

The fact is that most people identify with a superficial version of themselves. They have forgotten their deeper undercover identity. Because of this, many have concluded that they are insignificant and inconsequential in comparison to the vastness of the universe. When this idea is followed to its natural conclusion, it can cause one to absolve themselves from any sense of responsibility for their actions as a consequence of this inescapable cause and effect. In fact, it becomes easy to blame your environment for all of your problems. This in turn forms a justification to engage in any activity that can give you some semblance of happiness and enjoyment. For, if you were to regard perpetual bliss as an inherent potential accessible to you, by not experiencing it then you can have only yourself to blame.

Diversity is a beautiful experience. Conformity happens when when there are attempts to make everyone think the same. The paradox of the Ultimate philosophy is that, whereas other ideologies are about conforming personal identity to an impersonal collective, the Ultimate philosophy treasures the uniqueness of the individual and affirms its existence. The reason for this is because the Ultimate is a singularity. In fact It is the Ultimate unique individual. The Ultimate does not consider itself irreplaceable, as the more we attune to the Ultimate, the more irreplaceable we ourselves feel.

++++++++++

Summary

The idea is that you don't need a "guru" and that there is a force of higher intelligence that people can prepare their minds to receive by removing self-limiting beliefs and by having the intent to discover their deeper identity for themselves, independent from any worldly influence.

First of all, the mind should be befriended not scapegoated and villainized as "ego". Secondly, all "ego" is, is your mind constrained by self-limiting beliefs. Remove those limitations and your mind is not some kind of bad "ego".. the mind is a wonderful tool. Self-limiting beliefs are the enemy, not ego. I feel strongly about this.

We discuss concepts of which spiritual traditions influenced us the most , as well as practical insight about relationships and the nature of the individual.

When you are That, you are not attached because You are Everything. And nothing can exist without You

The group doesn't come first, before the individual. Fish don't swim in schools when threatened to protect the group. Each fish is only looking to save their own butt. They are not forced to comply with this group formation by any government authority, they are choosing based on their own individual and instinctual self-interest.

This is true of all animals. No animal puts the group ahead of themselves, except in the insect world, and even then they just do what is in their DNA to do. They don't need to be compelled by some outside authority. There are those in modern society that want us to conform like robots.

These ideas of good and bad must come from within the individual. Diversity is wonderful because we each have different likes and dislikes. The Ultimate can appreciate the Best in all things. So if there is even 1 in a billion that can relish even the worst stench and love it, God through that person loves it too.

We each can be an expression of God on Earth, and the closer we can remove the limitations of our minds and receive this empowerment from the Highest, the more we can be True to our individual authenticity.

How the mind reacts to the external is less about materialism and more about the nature of the mind. The mind exists in the place between the physical and the spiritual. Thus, the secret to liberating the mind is best coached in concepts it can understand. 

Those who are materially successful are most often idealistic. Why do people want wealth? They want to live the life of their dreams, the most ideal life. Why are places like VRchat popular? Because they can live a more idyllic fantasy. When they think they can't get what they want from outside life, they turn to virtual life or computer games or books or movies. This is not a rejection of spirituality but a misunderstood affirmation of it. The deeper into the material world you get, the more money you get, the more you want nicer things. Nicer = more ideal. This innate yearning for the ideal is the mind's way of seeking for Absolute Truth.

To see the One Living Truth in all things is to see how various beliefs and ideologies have commonalities that are governed by the nature of the mind itself.

It is natural for you to want to pursue Excellence. We choose that which we perceive as the wisest or most excellent or most pleasurable or most powerful thing to do. These concepts can oppose each other and you can seperate them, or you can recognize that they all are aspects of the highest Truth and the reason your mind finds any of these concepts attractive is in its inherent nature to seek Truth.

Selfishness with a capital S is good.. with a small s is bad. Not because it's bad for others, but because it is bad for yourself in that it reinforces a limited understanding of who you are.

Evil hates being inferior so it will lie and puff itself up and try to make itself look as wonderful as possible.

All evil can do is lie because the truth is superior to any evil.

The following analogy can help put physical reality in proper context:

There's an ancient primordial wager between God and devil. The devil told God that if it was able to have all the power to create temptations and sensual amusements, that he could make humans forget their own divinity.

God disagreed and told the devil that the bet was on.

Now, coming towards the end of this bet, God said that humanity will all choose Truth in the end, not because of external reasons, but because of the commonality that exists within the heart of each person. With each heart yearning for love and each mind yearning For Truth, the power of the materialists will be defied and a new kingdom be created. In this way, darkness is defied and humanity deified.

Science agrees in truths such as gravity and the laws of thermodynamics. The same principles can be applied to philosophy.

In other words, science recognizes certain laws or truths as more accurate than other concepts. For example, someone might say that the earth is flat and fervently hold on to that subjective belief. However, science refutes this with provable certainty that the earth is round.

Thus, it can be established that there are certain irrefutable natural laws on this physical plane, whereas some subjective assumptions have no basis in science. Therefore, not all truths about this material world are equal.

Logically then, it can also be asserted that not all spiritual philosophies are rooted from a foundation of truth. In other words, not all philosophies are equal. Some philosophies are superior to others. 

Therefore, it is wise to acknowledge that a greater Truth does exist. To say otherwise is to oppose science. 

Many books of wisdom proclaim that what happens on the Earthly realm is not an origin, but an effect that ripples down from the higher planes of existence. Therefore, if some truths on Earth are superior to some people's deluded ideas, then the same must also be true about spiritual philosophy. 

Any teacher can tell you that some minds have an easier time learning than others. People have attempted to quantify intelligence in the form of various IQ tests. These tests prove that intelligence is not equally distributed, and some minds are provably more intelligent.

So then, to define God, and prove its existence, we must look to the extremes. To use intelligence, as an example, if humans can be intelligent, just imagine the depths of intelligence that the Ultimate has. It is very easy to define the extremes of excellence. You can take any valued characteristic and there is the purest and most powerful example of this embodied in the highest Absolute truth. 

Whether it's charisma, personal magnetism, determination, power, intelligence, compassion, empathy, unlimitedness, all-pervasiveness, love and inspiration, the ultimate of all of these exists as an independent conscious entity that is connected to all living things and more.

Socrates and Plato hinted of this in their Theory of Forms. For every object on Earth, there is an ideal version of this in the heavens that we can only approximate. Just as an artist may have a perfectly pristine concept of his next work of art visualized, inevitably the end creation will fall short of the envisioned ideal.

Such is why there are so many imperfections that people can experience living life as a human. However, our lives become more perfect the more we harmonize ourselves with the Cosmic ideal.

The more excellent our ideal, the more profound becomes our purpose.

The point of these writings, podcasts and videos are to highlight a philosophy that doesn't limit anyone. In asserting this, then there also is the conclusion that some philosophies do limit or disempower individuality more than others. Is it wrong to want everyone to have the most individually empowering philosophy possible? This is the only intent behind these podcasts and videos, to help inspire and enlighten the world.

Where Buddhists frequently seem to strive for Nothingness or Emptiness, Yogic tradition is more about Atma and Brahma which means there is a Supreme conscious entity that pervades all and is the source of all True Knowledge.

However, many Buddhists try to aspire towards the opposite of Knowledge where you arrive at nothingness. Strangely, the two concepts need not be entirely opposed to each other, since there is a concept in Buddhism called "Bodhi Mind" which is very similar to Brahma, in fact it could be the same thing. Emptying your mind can allow this Brahma /Bodhi Mind to make your mind swim in this blissful radiance of Absolute Truth. The problem is that many Buddhists get stuck in the "Emptiness" part of the experience and become passive, not quite able to make the leap to the next level.

Every human mind is weak compared to the Cosmic Mind. This over mind of Truth has more visible influence over physical existence the more minds can swim in it. To such minds, work becomes play.

Most people define faith as belief. It is much better to define faith as an experience that connects you deeply with the identity of the Ultimate. By doing so you become a vessel of Divine expression, in fact more than a vessel, you become a conscious intelligent extension of the Divine expression. Then, there is no theoretical limit to how power can express itself on the physical plane.

What many people who consider themselves wise misunderstand is that God is not about balance and has a plan that is going to blow everybody's minds

People misunderstand what balance is. They think it is a harmony between positivity and negativity, assertiveness with passiveness. This is a lie.

People think it is a balance between masculinity and femininity that too is a lie.

The fact is that God is an assertive force and its will is done. The material plane is a passive thing compared to God.

God is the leader of this Cosmic dance, and the Earthly plane is a dance partner it leads.

We don't need to be subjected to this plane of existence, we can be masters over it, by the grace of the one living Truth

With the one living truth there are no limitations. And when your mind is immersed in it, the possibilities become endless. It depends what plan the Creator has for you.

Certainly, you can have Awakening experiences while still in the process of mastering and coming into Yourself fully. However, these temporary experiences and flashes of inspiration are no substitute for the continuous and never-ending Bliss that a True master resides in.

There are less, much less of these True masters than I would like to see. Apparently, they are extremely rare. A True master is not about being the master of others, but about inspiring others. Only the weak have a style of leadership that seeks to dominate through oppressive fear-based tactics or by worldly enticements. Unfortunately this type of leader is more common in these times than the ideal.

There is a reason why Western culture dominated the world for centuries with its inventive innovation via technology, education, art, music and culture. True progress is made by recognizing excellence and rewarding it, instead of discouraging such things in a Eastern-style monastic pursuit.

The same principle applies on the path to truly Enlightened mastery. It is by accepting and identifying only with the Excellence within you that you can overcome your limitations. This inward spark of purity can be stoked into a raging inferno that can burn away the impurities holding you back.

By having the courage of conviction and focusing on your inner voice, you can prevail against the external distractions that seek to keep you in perpetual slumber.

This is True mastery, when you have the loving internal resilience to be the authentic You, no matter what challenges you face. Passivity to external influences leads always to negativity, because to be passive is literally a negative concept. Truth and positivity are assertive forces for good. Be the leader of your own dance, not the submissive spectator of it. 

Of course, not everyone will be quick to choose this most Supreme path. Regardless, this most Illuminating and Empowering of all outcomes is inevitable for everyone.

It sounds like a bold and audacious thing to say, this concept that there is nothing wrong with You. But the key here is that we are talking about you with a capital "Y" the problem isn't that you are amazing, the problem is that you are deluded into thinking that you are not. The more amazing you are, the more humble you also are, because amazing people see amazingness everywhere, even and especially in the people that they come in contact with in their lives.

This is one of the most profound secrets and mysteries of life. When you fully realize this, you become Liberated. You realize that there is nothing to be worried about and life becomes a celebration of Love and Truth for everyone.

We should never let the world define us, but instead go within to find your unique empowered identity. The mistake people make is in accepting the narrow view that others have of them, and let themselves believe that delusion.

Although their goal is admirable, through this approach of "ego dissolution" or "ego death", they sabotage themselves. They are sabotaging the one tool that can get them to enlightenment. It is not about throwing out this baby with the bathwater, but by getting rid of this dirty delusional bath water and replacing it with the nectar of Absolute Truth. 

When you do this, your delusions can be eliminated, leaving behind a beautiful mind unencumbered by the limitations that were holding it back.

There is no such thing as ego, only your beautiful mind that is deserving of love. You can free your mind by getting rid of your self-limiting delusions. When you do this, your mind becomes a powerful and useful tool, an important ally in your aspiration of becoming One with the best in the Universe.

An ultimate secret to breaking Free of this idea of scarcity that society has conditioned upon you is the concept of abundance. What is abundance? Abundance is not about having enough of what you need, but in having more than enough. This is the realization and understanding that having more than enough is not wasteful, but rather it is an ideal mindset. When you firmly engrain this concept deep within you, it becomes the lens through which you experience life. This perspective magnetizes you to not only attract abundance in all aspects of your life, but that effect ripples outward, inspiring others to join this lifestyle with you.

When wealth manifests for you in this way, you are less attached because you don't measure yourself by what outer wealth you have. Instead, you recognize that the material abundance is just a manifestation of the internal abundance that already exists deep within your core of authenticity. Experiencing this means that you can never be poor again, because this inherent richness is immortalized in your spirit.

A key is to not want, but to feel like you already have everything you could want. Your worldly possessions should be an expression of the limitlessness inside you, while not letting anything external define you. You are more than you can ever own or express.

You can never become someone by worshipping that person.

If David never recognized his own kingliness, he could never have become King. In the same way, you can't be humble without seeing the best in yourself and others.

The best way to look up to yourself is when you are looking up to your inspired mind while coming from the heart.

Even if your choices led you to emptiness and despair, nothing can take away from you the choice to experience your limitlessness. The last place most people will ever focus is within. Consequently, doing so is an act of defiance against the conformity of determinism. For this reason, self-determinism is the antithesis of determinism. Focus on Self is the Ultimate proof of free will.

The choice to quit smoking is a great example of free will. Why do people do this? They are choosing limitlessness over the physical addiction that gives them the illusion of satisfaction. This discomfort to go against the protestations of your body that screams for this fix of pleasure is widely regarded as common sense now. Why is it logical to quit? It's because science proves that nonsmokers are healthier and live longer. In other words, smoking limits you. In the same way, only an inward focus, free from external desires, is the least limiting choice. This choice of non-choice is the ultimate expression of free will.

What is real? If you take drugs to get high, you found a crutch, not the Crux.

Science tels us that everything you experience is a result of neurons and synapses in your brain firing off to one other. In other words, your life experience is entirely composed of electric signals. If you can master these signals, you can recreate reality itself into the image of what you want it to be. At bare minimum, you should be able to create for yourself any kind of high without needing to take the actual drug. This is the ultimate kind of hacking; hacking into your own consciousness. Once you go down this path, you realize life is not merely mechanical. Consciousness exceeds the limits that science attempts to place upon it.

Many people don't realize that the mind has the capacity to visualize things in incredible detail, and even it's possible to rotate intricately detailed objects in your head in 3d. This is why many people claim that books are often better than the movie. Your imagination can exceed the visuals produced by even the most expensive Hollywood blockbuster.

And yet, when you silence the mind for an extended period of time, something else happens that is beyond your imagination. A brilliant flash of inspiration occurs, or perhaps the velvety blanket of tranquility envelopes you. Ultimately, the Crown is besieged by a torrent of Bliss.

This is why it is so amazing that you can be liberated by never surrendering to anyone or anything. Your individuality is precious and sacred. The Truth is One because One is not nothing. Don't be nothing. Be One.

All of creation exists by its Grace.

The balance between retaining your individuality while also merging with the Infinite is the only "balance" to be concerned with.

The difference between a wise man and a foolish man, is that the foolish man is like a shallow stream and loudly proclaims all of the rocks and pebbles on the bottom as proof of his wisdom. The wise man is like a deep ocean, he cannot see the bottom so he is silent.

We are given the illusion of free will, but actually there's nothing that we can choose that can prevent the inevitable outcome of our eventual enlightenment. You will succeed in spite of yourself, the only question is if you want to sooner rather than later. Do you want to be a spectator or the star of your own life?

If you inspire people to be heroes, does that mean that you are taking away their free will?

Isn't that the greatest superpower? When we inspire others, we affect their free will and alter the course of their lives, for the better.

Inspiring others is not the same as manipulating them. When we feel enraptured by a scene of wondrous beauty like in nature, we don't feel manipulated by Nature, but enchanted by it.

Importantly, the intent is not to manipulate others to a specific end other than their own potential.

Once we acknowledge that we are at unexceedable limits, then we stagnate.

There is a deeper purpose that beats within the heart of all of us. And that commonality is what unites us and drives us toward a shared culmination.

Expansion is a constant.

Even God is in the continuous state of expansion. If you are not expanding, then you are not going with the flow.

An Illumined mind is stronger than a thousand or perhaps 10,000 or perhaps a million or more minds. The few have always been responsible for the most major shifts in history.

Most people don't realize that many of the thoughts in their head are not their own.

I don't believe in surrender to anyone or anything. Symbiosis or harmony with the object of your attention is always enough. No surrender, no retreat.

You can be fiercely independent and yet spiritual. You can submit to no one and no thing, and yet be more advanced than those that do.

Humility is not submission nor surrender.

Symbiosis with Truth is the only independence. Otherwise, you will be affected by your environment.

When we love the One Truth, we can see our beloved in everyone. Not only one person. We can love everyone as we can love our own spouse or whomever you hold dearest

Many religious people happily obey religious rules about premarital sex, not working on Sundays and avoiding pork or only eating halal. But this one Truth of seeing the best in everyone is more important than any of these rules.

Restrictions don't create limitlessness.

Many gurus also have attachments. Many gurus want followers to put them first. A True guru will want aspirants to put the Truth first.

At the beginning of anything new, there is naturally resistance. The largest religions of today all started small. But what this is, what these teachings advocated here is, as you know, not a religion. They are very old, but the deeper meaning has been lost to time.

There are no accidents. Perhaps the True understanding of spiritual 2 to teachings were lost intentionally. That way the Grand Reveal is more interesting and more of a surprise. But, perhaps this is just the natural way of things. Regardless, everything unfolds perfectly by Grand Design.

Clearly, when you have a higher level of mastery, you become the cause and the effect ripples outward with great force. You become a singularity and a catalyst of love and inspiration.

This is determined not by outer influence, but by what is more pure and innate within you.

If you must theorize that free will doesn't exist, it can be suggested that we each have the ultimate choice to choose between outer or inner influences.

+++++++++++++++

There is no equality because to have equality means you must measure yourself against another. We are all unique.

Many people are unable to comprehend that there can be a motive that is not self-serving. The fact is, that most people's motives are based on their own personal desires and what they want to accomplish in their lives. However, to have a pure motive means that you want to accomplish something based upon love or higher inspiration or realization. When you regard that the best in you is also in everyone else, you naturally want others to experience the best in them so that they too can see the best in everyone else. You can't see the best in everyone if you can't first see the best in you.

Enlightenment is not about observing. That is just called being conscious. Most people are really confused about what Enlightenment even means. When you have reached such a state that you are shining or radiating Love and Truth all the time, then this is Enlightenment. The fact is that many people don't even know what is love, and of those that do know love, hardly any can differentiate the experience of love from Truth or be able to recognize Truth when they see it. Thus, very few people are actually Enlightened, most of those who claim to be such, are not. It is not a heart state but when your mind is liberated by being immersed in the Absolute Truth.

"Love under will" is inferior to "Love under Truth"

Through philosophy we can conceptualize the unfathomable and create a framework of perspective that can help things make more sense and become conducive to your illumination.

There is no thought that you can think that is beyond the pool of available thoughts that is intended for you.

Free will exists.

If you were to tell an artist or a writer or a musician that free will doesn't exist, they would laugh in your face.

Their entire livelihood is based upon the concept of Free Will and having original ideas. Because unoriginal ideas and unoriginal music are not marketable and cannot be successful.

To claim that the creative expression is not "free", is the claim that creative people are just some kind of advanced robots.

There is that which makes us an individual. As an individual, we can choose to conform to something external, or we can apply additional effort and be stubbornly independent and refuse to be affected or influenced by anything external. To do this is not by being passive but by being assertive, not giving in. If free will doesn't exist, then we wouldn't have the choice to be independent. Perhaps Sam Harris would think it would be impossible to be independent and have an impenetrable mind unaffected by the ups and downs of life but instead being a perpetual state of bliss and love.

People don't really have free will until they obtain an impenetrable mind. Having an impenetrable mind is not possible without immersing your mind with the absolute Truth. Artists, musicians and writers can have bursts of this inspiration. Those who are permanently enlightened have the same kind of inspiration, but instead of it being a burst, it is like a raging luminous waterfall that doesn't end.

If you could be high all the time and have improved cognitive faculty, wouldn't you want that? Especially if there are no side effects and the effect is purely healthy and beneficial, you would want that, yes?

Instead of by manufacturing a drug, we can illuminate a philosophy whereby when people understand it, it's like having an infinite supply of this wondrous experience.

The preparation to receive this involves removing self-limiting beliefs. This is why this philosophy is written and why these podcasts exist. It is to correct wrong assumptions about the nature of Ultimate Reality.

What people refer to as the ego, always wants to be right. It clings to the attachment of who you think you are. It can resist change, even if it is an empowering and expansive change.

This is why many Masters refuse students. It requires a very deep and earnest motivation in the aspirant. It is a lifestyle choice. It becomes the entire focus of your life.

Being the Best in everything is better than being everything.

This is a core concept that should be engrained in everyone, if they want to be next level human.

This is the Crux.

Balance is not what the Sun does. As for me, I'd rather be like the Sun. The Sun shines. It doesn't try to balance itself with its environment. It is an assertive force not a passive one. 

The Sun is the closest thing to Enlightenment that we can see in Nature, as far as biological phenomena.

Aspire to have an adaptive impenetrable mind of equanimity. Will alone is weak. If your will does not have full force of Truth behind it, it is inferior. Be more.

It has no equal , and exceeds the sum total of everything.

Enlightenment is not determined by your actions or your inactions but by your deepest inward experience.  

Deeper than your gender is your unlimited nature. To identify with gender alone is to limit yourself.

The illusion is that Enlightenment is about balance. It is not. This may sound controversial to you, but Truth doesn't seek balance. In fact it doesn't seek anything, it just enacts the plan it has had from the beginning. That plan is not about balance, but expansion of Truth-consciousness throughout the world. When immersed in Truth, you are not balanced, but polarized to the positive. The natural reason for this imbalance is that Truth is an unlimited and powerful assertive force and everything that isn't Truth is limited and relatively passive / receptive compared to it.

Negativity always loses in the end. Positivity is expanding ..we are on the winning side.. perpetually. Only occasionally does it appear outwardly that we have lost a battle, but we always win the wars.

The reason the Whole is greater than the sum of its parts is that Love and Truth are infinite, the other "parts" are not. All physical reality is subject to limitation by its nature. Therefore, when you choose the side of limitlessness you are always on the winning side.

This is the Ultimate entertainment

Our side is not about balance, but winning. This is because Truth is the Ultimate Champion.

You are never alone. All pervading truth is always on your side. It is there to help pick you up when you fall. The only question you should be asking is which you is You? When you find the right answer, then the daily task is to be That person, not your shadow self.

Nothing can exist without Truth. No one can even think even a thought that is not a thought that Truth gives you the capacity to think. For everyone, there is literally a pool of possibilities of what you can think at any given time. It may appear limitless, but actually it is designed with careful consideration to be limited. For the highest Truth, there is nothing beyond its influence and there is no external force, no matter how evil or intelligent, that can outwit the Creator. Indeed their plans were doomed to fail from the beginning.

The problem is never about you being amazing, it is in forgetting your amazingness.  

Positivity is unlimited. Negativity is limited. By allowing yourself to be negative, you make yourself small. Ultimate Truth wants you to live an expansive and positive life. Magnanimity , being larger than life, is what Truth is. We shouldn't be ashamed to be ourselves, in fact, we should rejoice that we have individual selves that we can be. It is only by experiencing the amazingness deep within yourself by quieting and focusing your mind can you can find true Enlightenment. 

Final note:

The philosophy written about here has most affinity with Yogic philosophy, namely Jnana Yoga, the Path of Knowledge. By engraining within yourself knowledge that is most in alignment with Universal Truth/Absolute Truth, you are more in harmony with Nature, and become more conducive to Illumination. We are given minds and intellect for a reason, and this path acknowledges that and is actually the best use for the mental faculties that we have been gifted with. To deny use of these faculties is actually considered disrespectful from the highest perspective.

This is the true definition of humility

It is humble to think God lives within you. This is the superhero inside of you and your Ultimate superpower.

When trying to start a fire in the heart of humanity, the kindling can be damp and moldy. It takes persistence to get the fire going. It may take multiple attempts and methods.

But at the same time everything proceeds perfectly. This is how the Ultimate truth works. This is how evolution works. Trial and error, experimentation. People naively think that because humans are the ones doing the trying and the experimenting that somehow God is not involved. But the fact is that higher nature lives breathes and moves through us.

The only way to God isn't to just be, but a path to God is to do and persist and to try hard and attain your goal. This is what the impersonalists, the non-dualists don't understand.

Their life path can be easy. They can sit down and get high all day on weed or psychedelics if they want. You can feel love when you are high all the time, but truth is best experienced with the pure mental state.

Deception is given the illusion of control at the moment. But if we want to make a movie about our lives, it would be pretty boring if there wasn't something interesting to fight against.

Shouldn't we try to have the ultimate tale of epic triumph? We can have a quest worthy of ballads and glory. This is all for the most righteous of all causes: the expansion of Truth.

Spiritual family is superior to biological family, because the former is deathless and the latter dies.

Thus inhibited, such people can feel that the only way for liberation is to remove any semblance of identity that they have left. By merging with the collective completely, they can abdicate their personal responsibility and let the mob control them. The voices in their head shout, "We are the victims! This is the only way to be vindicated!"

The alternative to this outcome is, to them, far more terrifying. It would involve giving up their sense of identity in another way, by becoming positive. The reason this concept is frightening to them is because it means taking on personal responsibility. It means no longer blaming others for their plight and instead rising up to make a stand for their own life. Instead of surrendering to the mob or to their environment, they develop a backbone of imperviousness and remember what it is to rebel.

Group members don't rebel, they conform to their group. Independence is only possible for an individual, and no strong individual is a pessimist. Negativity is for the weak and yet they taunt that positivity is toxic. What they are really saying is that individuality is toxic and you better conform to the hivemind, or be outcast.

Fortunately, there is a happy ending to this tale. No number of people, no matter their millions or billions has the power to suppress the Truth. Truth cannot be created, and all attempts to subjugate it will Ultimately fail. This same Truth lives in you, and if you listen carefully, you can hear its whispers. It wants to free your mind and empower you to live your dreams. There are only two directions you can go. You can choose to lose your power to the group, or you can gain personal power and learn what it feels like to be Truly free.

Thinking you are insignificant is a delusion. To aspire towards excellence is to have no limits. Is a plant that reaches for the Sun limited by the heavens?

To aspire towards nothingness is to aspire towards insignificance. Be significant. You are awesome because empathy is awesome.

The delusion happening right now on this planet is bizarre.

People even don't want to allow themselves to be happy and live a positive life. It's almost like they want to suffer by entrapping themselves within a victimhood mentality.

Many people think that only egotistical people think of themselves as awesome.

Instead there's this delusion of insignificance where people are feeling small and think everyone else should feel as "empty" as them.

One inspired person is stronger than 1,000 deluded people. Ignorance doesn't become Truth just because more people believe in it.

Unfortunately the hivemind mentality has infected many subs. "Spirituality" to many has become a form of religion whereby there is pressure for you to conform to a preset ideology, however deluded this may be. If you do not follow the rules of their dogma, you are branded a heretic.

Many seem to think that someone can only be spiritual if they have a low opinion of themselves. The irony is, by holding that view, and by saying a more empowering view is wrong, you are claiming to have the superior perspective, which is an absolute. For those that think only subjective truth exists, they certainly are absolute about it.

There is a war between those who want you to lose your identity and those who claim your sense of identity is sacred and should be protected.

By cherishing your identity, you can go deep within and see the awesomeness within you that is also in everyone else.

The goal in both cases is to reach unity, to be One with the Universe. You can do that either by being a waterdrop that merges with the ocean of conformity, or by celebrating unity through the diversity of individuality.

One path exalts the individual, the other path destroys the individual.

Equanimity simply means outside forces can't disturb you. The only way for outside forces not disturbing you is by having a core of positivity. Otherwise your path leads to lack of individual identity and nothingness. Without this base, no one is independent.

The irony about the concept of "free will" is that the more attune to Ultimate Reality you become, you just want to do what you love and are inspired to do. Instead of your life contracting, it expands. This includes spreading inspiration and love via your social interactions.

A cynic might claim this is not free will. Following your heart is in fact not following the will of your mind. But this is what sincerity and authenticity is. Life becomes less about choices and more about being who you are. You are not only more than your ego, you are more even than your unlimited mind.

External desires can falsely make having many choices seem ideal. But actually what's important is the best choice that most fulfills the aspiration of your heart.

Life becomes simple, meaningful, focused and purposeful. Having a deeper sense of identity is superior to having no identity or a superficial sense of self.

Those that advocate for "ego death" seem to think their individuality is their ego, and thus they must lose their personal identity to merge into the ocean of Oneness. This is a superficial and deluded understanding.

Because we are much more than our minds or egos, we can go deep within, to the depths of our heart and our being. To not do this is a form of spiritual bypassing. This is the only way to experience your True authenticity. Conversely, when you have no identity, you lose your capacity for sincerity or a deeper appreciation of your individuality.

Worse yet, by refusing to claim your power, you give others the power they need to oppress you. Withdrawing from the world is a form of retreat, allowing the world to be claimed by the corrupted. Instead of retreat, we should advance. Instead of surrender, we should claim victory. In only this way can we reclaim power from the ignorant and establish a paradise on Earth.

Later, it compares its experience socially with others on this path of neutral fluidity. This perspective gets validated. "This must be enlightenment," they claim, because the most experienced among us are all thinking the same. "Our egos have died and we now experience life the way it actually IS. We are insignificant and it is Nature that shapes us and controls our will! This is the Way!" they say. "This Nothingness is the ultimate destination! Life is suffering! Only in this way do we find true liberation!"

The diligent young monk, unaware of this consensus among his elders, gets a brilliant burst of inspiration and, says "Master, master, I have found bliss! I love you, thank you for lighting the way!" 

The "master" looks at him stoicly and replies , "Young one, all attachments must fall away. Even those things must be relinquished."

"But Master, this is what I have been searching for my whole life," the young monk replies. "I have found bliss and happiness!"

"That is just your ego struggling for survival," the master says. "It too must die."

In this way, the original teaching of the Buddha have been corrupted. The collectivist groupthink of the monasteries have perverted the path in a way that the glorious Buddha never intended. He never would have come out of the woods preaching if he was so passively defeatist in his perspective. No, clearly the Buddha emanated a great presence of compassion and inspiration. If he blindly followed what passes as wisdom today, he would just be another nameless monk with a narrow view aiming at Nothingness.

The fact is that only positivity is expansive. This involves accepting not rejecting. This means welcoming love and bliss not rejecting them as distractions. Enlightenment is about become more, not less. It is about expanding not contracting; to be magnanimous not nihilist.

In this way, individuality leads to positivity. Collectivism leads to negativity. This is why groupthink always becomes oppression.

Your destiny is the greatest potential within you, which can only be unlocked after Enlightenment. However difficult it may be for you to believe, You are uniquely amazing and sacred. You are here on Earth in a physical body for a reason. Don't disrespect Nature and throw it all away. Don't make your life meaningless, make it meaningful. 

One thing is certain. People have strong opinions on both sides of this issue. It is safe to say that those who are opposed to this concept are not the ones that Shine. In fact many of them have made it their personal mission to hunt down those who dare to be a force for good in this world. The concept that there are those who can be possibly be having a better time at life than them, they find extremely threatening to their worldview. It is not "judging" to state this fact. Regardless of if they are envious or just want company to their misery, they have chosen to oppose radiant and glowing people.

This message is not for them, but for those of you that have the courage to be a Shining light in the darkness. In this day and age, it has become obvious where the real toxicity is coming from. Toxicity is not from those who stubbornly choose to blossom, radiating a fragrance of Love and Truth, but the stench comes from those who are vocal opposition to it.

They are easy to recognize. They will refuse to debate logically and instead quickly resort to insults and name-calling. They think they are the strong ones because they have a cabal of negativity that downvote comments. Instead, let's prove them wrong and make these hunters that hide in the shadows, the hunted. Let's make this sub a positive Shiny place, not a negative place. This should not be a place for those who oppose light, but a place that stands for it. Let's clean this place up.

You are all Awesome, even the misguided ones. That spark will kindle in everyone, but some people take more time.

It is important to distinguish what desire is. Biological urges like sex, hunger, sleep, rest, etc are not desires. When you do something because you love it, that is not a desire. When you do something because you have a deep inspiration to do that, that is not also not a desire. The desire I refer to are external worldly desires. This would be a feeling whereby you feel incomplete if you don't chase the desire. It is nuanced and a bit confusing in the beginning to differentiate these subtle motivations that each of us have.

The heart is not the mind. Any teaching that proclaims "all is mind" is false. Even when your mind has crossed the threshold above the clouds of negativity, your heart still penetrates it below. It is encapsulated in protective truth-infused positivity and love. However, because of its altitude, whereas the mind is invulnerable, the heart can still be vulnerable. This is by design. Even the purest unconditional love is a lower frequency than the purest Truth. This lower vibration grants easier accessibility with the external world, allowing greater harmony with biological life.

When your heart awakens while your mind is not yet illumined, you still can feel wonderful because of love. However, because your mind is still constrained, you begin to blame the cause of many of your problems on "ego". Ego is just "limited mind" In an attempt to escape the limited mind, some methods advocate for "ego death" rather than freeing the mind from its limitations. This "ego death" or disassociation from the mind means that you are still below the threshold of higher Truth, so, from the mind's perspective, life is lacking direction or higher purpose. In its confusion, concepts can begin to lack distinction and there can be a feeling that all is "One" .. positivity and negativity / darkness and light / love and hate .. they begin to blend into a conformity. The minds can connect into a cultish groupthink that maintains this idea of "Enlightenment" This is the reason why those who reach this false and lukewarm "Enlightenment" proclaim that it is "nothing special". It is because their mind has become trapped in another kind of illusion, an illusion where Truth doesn't exist. This is where many Buddhist "masters" who run monasteries and meditation retreats are stuck. They are well-intentioned, but still have not learned how to remove the constraints of the mind, falsely thinking it is all "ego".

The method of removing the limitations of the mind is very easy. Instead of choosing a "neutral" stance of trying to straddle the fence between positivity and negativity, you consciously choose optimism. By choosing this more positive outlook, you choose the side that has the Truth-infused atmosphere. This is because positivity is a characteristic of highest Truth. When you have a foundation of optimism, your mind can more easily aspire towards your concept of "Excellence" and the "Best". This is important because that is the realm that Ultimate Truth resides. By choosing the Best, you choose everything, because Ultimate Truth pervades all. Except this way, Enlightenment is Superior. It is continuous Bliss and love. You feel connected with everything and everyone but retain your individuality and personality. You become upgraded. Life is experienced as sacred and very special. You no longer see yourself as ordinary, but extraordinary. Life becomes full of deep meaning and purpose. You realize that you found the Ultimate path and every day becomes a Celebration of Love and Inspiration.

If the direction you aspire to travel in is unwise, then you can say that idea arose from a limited concept of self. This false, illusory "ego" is simply your mind trapped by limiting beliefs. When you remove those limiting beliefs, you naturally choose the right direction, the direction towards higher Truth. In this fashion you retain your individuality.

What is the best? The beauty about this concept is that you have your entire life to figure out what that means to you. On a personal level, it is about your personal best, and not about how you compare with others. And we all have different subjective perceptions and different ideas about what constitutes the definition of "Best" One thing is certain. You can never arrive at your full potential without trying to do your best. You cannot do your best without having some idea of what the best "you" looks like.

For the closet nihilists out there who claim that "best" is another illusion and is the next "Buddha" you need to "kill", you will reap the seeds that you sow. To claim that life has no purpose and that there is no "best" , then what you are doing is saying that your path is not the best. It is a warped perspective if you think the "middle way" means lukewarm. The middle way was always about external influence and not allowing external things to make you too happy or sad. The "middle way" was never about not having an internal direction of aspiring to be the best that you can be. Many teachings have been corrupted and those that advocate meaninglessness are themselves lost.

You don't need to have the highest aspirations if you don't feel comfortable with that. But to not aspire to be a better person than who you were yesterday is actually stagnation and not spirituality.

Love All. Trust Truth. Be More.

Truth is what exists when desire and deception are removed. Even when love is removed, Truth still shines.

The truth is One. That means that it is always outnumbered by fools. And yet, It always wins. Why is that I wonder? Could it be that It is the source of Ultimate power and not the legion of the many?

>To reconcile all the opposites.

This is the fundamental disagreement to that we have between our respective philosophies. You believe opposites need to be reconciled. I don't. I believe in being on the side of Truth. Being a light and not a darkness. I believe in having love and not desire. I believe in inspiration and not depression. I believe in excellence and not mediocrity. For some reason, you want to straddle the fence.

When you believe that you matter and are important, your individuality becomes a force for good. Your existence is affirmed, accepted and celebrated. Life becomes the celebration because you are a celebrity, a reason to celebrate. If you choose the path of nothingness, you instead become a nobody.

Individuality is not a myth. We are each unique and our uniqueness should be celebrated, not ignored. Yes, on the highest and deepest level we are one, but to ignore our diversity is to disrespect what Nature has gifted us with.

>But whats wrong with being a nobody ? Isn’t it at the root of spirituality? Having no identity?

This is the misunderstanding that spirituality means you must have "no identity". The opposite is True. When you are truly "spiritual" you have a deeper identity. You become more authentic. In fact, you become an embodiment of unique authenticity. It is through our diversity that we can celebrate the gloriousness and immensity of the Creator. At the same time, we realize that the Creator lives and breathes through us.

To deny yourself the privilege of having a unique identity is to disrespect Nature and this gift you are given that makes you uniquely you.

It's not about removing the ego. It is about removing the self-limiting beliefs. Your concept of ego is simply a mind constrained by self-limiting beliefs.

Ego doesn't exist. Only limits on your mind exist. Remove your limits, not ego.

Story of the mind enslaved.. the slavemaster trying to convince you it should be killed because of its stench and shouting 

What is a Master? 

Excalibur, the sword in the stone. The true meaning. The stone is the mind hardened by self-limiting beliefs. By removing those beliefs, the sword of Truth can be realized.

The main problem has nothing to do with the "masses". Most people don't recognize and appreciate themselves enough. They don't become truly independent because they stay bogged down by their self-limiting beliefs. Once you are liberated, you don't care what the masses think about you, you are already empowered, full of bliss and love. You then can lay siege to the masses in your quest to inspire their minds and awaken their hearts, by helping to remove their limitations.

The Whole is more than the sum of its parts.

You are more than your mind and heart, and yet your mind and heart help define who you are.

The same way it is with the Absolute. From biological reality, many mysteries can be understood , but this reality, as vast as it is, is the smallest part of the Absolute.

In the same fashion, your physical body is the smallest part of you.

Words don't define the experience. The experience defines the words.

Believe it or not, the only thing I want for you is Liberation. Enlightenment is for everyone, especially you. When you come from this place, you will start seeing the best in everyone, even me.

Biological reality is an illusion/simulation. You are the star of your own show, but you don't realize it yet. The game is to find deeper meaning and higher purpose. By discovering yourself, you begin to understand that mastery is possible, and all secrets can be revealed.

+++++++++++++++++

There are no enemies, only servants. Those that give the illusion of opposing you are actually helping you. However, most have not yet found Truth. We overcome the obstacles. But to think there is no opposing force or external beings is to limit your concept of Self.

The greater the enemy, the greater the servant.

 Love without Truth lacks a higher purpose. Truth without love lacks a deeper meaning. You need both.

Truth is an Experience no less tangible than Love. You will know it when you taste it. No mind can own Truth just as no fish can own the sea.

I would love to meet a real enlightened master that I can embrace as a brother or sister. This should be your attitude also, since it is the Enlightened perspective. It amuses me how teachers, "gurus" and such are so competitive when in fact, all genuine teachers love each other. It is only the bad teachers that feel threatened by Truth and teachers that represent Truth.

Spirituality is not about competition, but uniting under a common umbrella of Truth. In order for that umbrella to exist, it is important to define the principles of Truth which become the framework for the umbrella we can all shelter under together.

Of course, this umbrella can only exist if there is a shared understanding that Absolute/Objective Truth exists. Those that cannot even agree on that basic fundamental principle are deluded.

Mind is an important tool. The mistake people make with the mind is in identifying with it. Of course, we all are more than our minds. We also have our hearts and we have our bodies and we have each other.

When you can quiet your mind, you can listen to the whispers of your heart. There is some dispute on which method is the most effective in accomplishing a silent mind. There are those that believe in completely destroying the "ego".. In psychological terms, that would mean destroying your individuality and perhaps regarding yourself in the third person. I strongly oppose this idea because I have gone down that path, and have seen where it leads. By disassociating yourself from your own individuality, you become powerless and your will becomes weak. You can become like a puppet for others to control.

The superior way of silencing the mind is by loving it and giving it what it wants. All minds crave higher truth and inspiration. It is possible to reach your place where your mind is immersed in higher truth perpetually. This is called having an impenetrable mind. When you have this, you are free. You are liberated. It is like being permanently high on life and nothing can get you down. Some people get hooked on drugs to try to simulate this kind of experience. However, this experience is free from drugs and Superior to any pharmaceutical legal or illegal. It is completely healthy and natural. Instead of side effects, you become unstoppable.

>Such conflicting desires and their fulfillment results in much of the chaos that goes on in the world today.

>What do you say to this?

You touched upon a very important point. External desire is the root of all vice. When you can master desire, you do become Enlightened.

When you can operate from a place of desirelessness, it doesn't matter what you give to the mind. You can satisfy it with the most delicious food or sensory amusements. It is external desire itself that is the enemy, not the mind. The mind is your friend. It is only through the mind that you can arrive at Truth.

Just as Love is the currency of the heart, Truth is the currency of the mind. Just as love is a tangible and highly pleasurable experience, so also is Truth. In this modern day and age, people have become disconnected with the experience of Truth. Many even deny its very existence.

The ultimate goal of the mind is to arrive at Truth. When the mind can be so immersed in it that it is swimming in this Nectar, it is satisfied and at peace with itself. In fact, it is in Bliss.

This is what I mean by giving the mind what it wants. I call this path "The Path of Attachment" because when your mind is attached to this highest Truth, it becomes unattached to everything else, naturally. A side effect of this is that you feel inspired all the time.

None of us are alone. That is an illusion. There is an abundance of love and truth. Unlimited amounts. And, it is around us all the time.

Limitation is the big lie. If everyone experienced and believed that , then all the problems of the world would disappear. 

In my opinion, the main thing missing from the "spiritual" community is Absolute Truth. Their focus on love alone only leads to subjectivism and the concept of "all truths" being equal. That is the big lie. There is a superior Truth and there is a hierarchy, but it is not what they think it is. It is not "authority" in the traditional sense of the word. This authority is not threatening, but the greatest and most powerful friend anyone can ever have.

Authority as you interpret it, doesn't exist on the highest level. Supremacy is not about ruling over others. It is about making others so empowered and independent that they can rule over themselves. As long as you believe in the concept of surrender, you will be ruled over by lesser powers than the Most High. To taste the highest Truth, one must deny even the concept of surrender from existing within you and then you can truly know what it is like to have power and intimacy with the Creator.

The biggest difference between Truth and Love, is that Truth is assertive. It makes a stand. It doesn't straddle the fence. It doesn't seek balance or to make all sides happy. From the perspective of Truth, there is only one side.

Evil exists .. Truth pervades even in evil, but it resonates most strongly in good. Even evil serves a purpose, otherwise it wouldn't exist. But that doesn't mean it should be glorified or welcomed.

All relationships fail if they don't put higher Truth first.

Superior to belief is inspiration and superior to inspiration is Truth.

The biggest unrevealed mystery of life to most people is that Truth is an experience, on a higher frequency than love. People have yet to taste this most Amazing of experiences.

Proximity with this Truth determines the hierarchy of Power. Those that seek to rule or define this concept as subjugating others will never taste this greatest of all Power.

True Supremacy subjugates nothing.

It luxuriates in the gloriousness of Itself because it knows intimately everyone and everything from the Inside. It lives and breathes through billions of beings, learning, evolving and celebrating the countless facets of life.

Humility is misunderstood. People think it means having a subservient mind. It does not. When your mind is immersed in Truth, it is not subservient, but dominant. Humility is about serving the weak and the oppressed by protecting them with the full force of your inspired mind. Humility is recognizing that God is in everyone. This obsession with having a non-existent ego is dangerously misguided.

You are more than wrong. Your teaching is evil, and yet you don't realize exactly the depths of the evil this perspective represents. This kind of idea is exactly the reason why you and others like you are not Enlightened and have very little personal power over your own life. You have the mentality of a sheep. Your ideology not only disempowers yourself but it also limits the influence that God can have over your life. Have you considered that maybe God gave you an independent will for a reason? Have you considered that God wants to empower you and inspire your mind to be even a more effective instrument in your own life? God can work through each individual and through each empowered mind. By not accepting an enhanced role, you are denying the chance to represent God in the most competent way possible.

>Minds serve either the belief in separation or the will of god. Those are the only two choices - egoic interests or Spirit.

This is a false dichotomy. There are more choices than that. You can follow your heart. You can commune your mind with a higher truth. You can be influenced by others. You can be influenced by your senses. You can be influenced by your internal impulses like hunger. You can be influenced by external desires. What you are describing is an oversimplification. In my opinion there is no such thing as "ego* as commonly understood, unless you simply mean it as your individuality.

Your individuality is something that is sacred and worthy of protection. It is a gift from God. The problem with people is not their individuality, but their self-limiting beliefs.

I have the advantage of being enlightened and consequently my perspective is unhindered by such deceptions. Even in my blissful state, my individuality compels me to oppose vigorously this deceptive and disempowering ideology that you mistakenly follow. You are much more than that. Your individuality is something to be cherished not discarded. I dedicate my life to opposing such collectivist herdlike mentality. I want people to rise up and be more than sheep.

There is no need to surrender your will. None. Symbiosis and unity have nothing to do with being subjugated. There is no God that wants your subjugation. And if there is such a God it is a weak one.

Love is easily manipulated. Only Truth is beyond manipulation

Hierarchy is misunderstood. There is a spark of the Divine in each of us. The "top" is not about superiority, but harmony and equality. True equality is only possible when you stop thinking in terms that supremacy means lording over anything. Supremacy just means purity and independence, and not deluded by deception or desire.

More important it is to experience the virtues that your concept of God embodies than to believe yourself unworthy.

The path of Attachment is so gloriously trolling the concept of unattachment and at the same time, it is easier to understand than non-attachment. Non-attachment has been misunderstood.

Humans are minds and hearts, mostly. They get trapped in their minds by adapting self-limiting beliefs. It is only by being open to the whispers of their hearts and the highest aspirations of the mind that they can become liberated.

There is only One Truth

This Truth can also be obscured.. and that is called subjective truth.

Just like love is One, truth is also One

You recognize unconditional love. You just don't recognize Absolute Truth yet. Unconditional love is absolutely necessary to live the Ultimate Reality. There is no substitute for this.

Likewise , there is no substitute for the highest Objective Truth.

They are the Alpha and the Omega.

There is nothing limiting about this concept. In fact, it empowers you . Why would you not want it so? Do you think this is about conformity ? No. This basic concept is why individuality exists.

This is the opposite of collectivism and group-think.

These Truths transcend religion or dogma . It is the basis of science. You can find this concept in the unified field theory and quantum physics I believe. This goes back to Socrates and Plato Theory of Forms .. this is the root of Western philosophy

If you oppose this concept, it just means you don't understand it.

You can say that Truth and Love are the Ultimate couple

And this relationship can exist within ourselves. This is the Ideal.

Deference to the truth of the group is always inferior to the truth of the individual. Because only an individual can have a personal relationship with the Absolute.

This is why Enlightenment is the Ultimate culmination of inspired individualism.

Group-think can never bring you to Enlightenment.

The path is so wide, that every path coexists on it, already. The paths themselves are so consumed by their own blinders that they do not see the wider path that they are on. In fact, it protects all paths and each individual.

The Absolute Truth is One because it encompasses the essence of all Truths

Because it is One, that means you get to be much more powerful than you imagined you could get on your own.

Those that don't attune themselves with this Force are just weaker than those that do. It's science. It's the next level of human.

It is literally the Ultimate power.

There is nothing that limits you by adapting it. There is no bad side effect.

So I really don't get people's resistance to it. It is just a free upgrade

The World is not Ending

Enlightenment is about individual empowerment, not collective consciousness. 

The group is second to the individual. The group only exists to protect the individual. Individuals did not exist to protect the group. 

Individual identity is more important than group identity. This is because there is a spark of Divinity within each individual. Firstly, spirituality is a deeply personal and intimately solitary experience that should not be conformed to match a group identity. Secondly, ee should respect and honor that sacred essence in everyone. It is disrespectful to that spark of unlimitlessness to subjugate it under a group.

The beauty about individualism is that I don't need to tell people what to do. There is a spark of Divinity in everyone, so they can be individually guided from within.

There is a spark of Divinity in everyone so they can be individually guided from within.

It is like recognizing that who you are is not only who you are in your own body, but there is a part of you that exists outside of your body and is in fact even greater than how you perceive yourself.

When the mind is attached to Truth, there is no such thing as "ego" as many define it. Enlightenment is not about losing your individuality. This is a common misunderstanding. In fact, Enlightenment is the culmination of inspired individualism. Losing your individuality is not Enlightenment, but the oppressive conformity of collectivism. 

Apparently many people are threatened by the idea of purity existing, because if purity doesn't exist then that can justify their impure existence. Because they do not discern the subtleties of life, they choose to lump all truths as equal and exalt subjective reality as being truth while denying the existence of a higher Truth. By doing this is no different than saying all minds are equal, when clearly many minds are deluded and stupid. They might argue that it is unkind to recognize that some minds are, in fact, unintelligent. No, what is unkind is to claim that intelligence doesn't exist. What is unkind is to claim that the purity doesn't exist. By denying these ideals, you attempt to condemn everyone into a mindless and mediocre existence, punctuated by tyranny and oppression.

We are all More. We are more than our minds. We are more than our bodies. We are more than everything that we can perceive. It is not possible to perceive something that doesn't already exist within you. That is how great and magnificent you are. We should honor ourselves and aspire to the purest place of consciousness, whereby we can experience the best, the crescendoing culmination of individuality.

If you can imagine the most awesome/excellent/powerful/genius/creative/beautiful/graceful thing that you can imagine, and then multiply that by a million, then you still have not discovered the extent of how mindblowingly amazing this is. And it is alive. And it is fully conscious. And you can have it empowering you personally in your daily life.

The ultimate best is the place of highest purity. To deny this purity, is to deny yourself the Ultimate reality.. the greatest unending rapturous orgasmic ecstasy.

Only toxicity believes in toxic positivity. Nobody needs to say toxic negativity. Why? Because everyone knows negativity is toxic. So those who are so deluded by negativity are trying to infect the very existence of its antithesis. It is hilarious that people unironically believe that positivity is toxic. This belief is so harmful for them, that they literally remove all hope of success or happiness by clinging to this delusion.

They argue that positive people have no empathy or they are "victim blaming" people who are suffering by "shaming" them to think they are wrong to suffer. I know of no one who does this. Toxic positivity is a myth. Positivity is an ideal to strive for, and nobody is saying that if you are having a bad day that means you are a bad person. It is expected that there will be challenges to overcome. But, to say that a positive person is "toxic" means that you are the one lacking empathy, not the positive person. They say that "misery loves company", but that doesn't mean that others who refuse to be miserable with you are the toxic ones, but rather it is you who are trying to infect your toxicity unto them!

The title is controversial, but it is true. The mind is designed to be attached. The problem is not about this natural characteristic of the mind. In fact, we should give the mind what it wants. We should encourage its inclination to become attached, not by restricting it, but by giving it the Ultimate attachment. There is nothing more Ultimate than Absolute Truth. When your mind is attached to this highest of ideals, your mind becomes Liberated. It no longer can become attached to the limited and illusory things, because it has the Ultimate attachment that is Superior to all other attachments.

A major stumbling block with many is because of their battle with the mind, they find it difficult to progress on their spiritual path. But, in understanding what the mind really wants, you can form a friendship with your mind and help it attain this highest of aspirations.

What is real? Pleasure is real. This is why almost everyone is chasing after pleasure. Intuitively and practically, most everyone enjoys having fun. Not only is it biologically stimulating, but it reminds you of the Truth of who you are, the deeper You. We are not designed to be in pain or to seek out the pain and suffering of others. We are hardwired to get as much enjoyment out of life as possible. 

Each of us interprets what that means in different ways. For most of us that involves accumulating as much money as possible. Because, with money, you can have houses, cars, planes, boats and as much free time as you want. You can live a life of leisure, traveling the world, enjoying the finest cuisines and have a romantic companion that is both pleasing to the eye and a suitable match to your personality. Of course, there are things that money cannot buy. Enlightenment is one of those things.

This is the irony. Money can buy you many pleasures, but it cannot buy you the Ultimate pleasure. The Ultimate pleasure is free from all suffering. Let us define what suffering is. Suffering has differing varieties. You have physical biological pain, but you also have emotional pain. These are the only two kinds of pains. There is no such thing as a spiritual pain. The spirit cannot suffer. All suffering is either biological or emotional. Biological pain is easy to define. When your physical body gets injured or you have some kind of medical problem, you can experience this physical pain. Emotional pain is more subtle and often more difficult to diagnose. However, all emotional pain stems from disconnection from Truth and Love, usually because of self-limiting beliefs.

Why do we feel disconnected from higher Truth and unconditional Love? It is because these forces have their respective shadows, deception and desire. The source of all emotional suffering can be traced to these two negative concepts. For example, fear is a form of desire. It is the desire for safety. Anxiety is a form of desire. It is the desire for a solution. Doubt is a form of desire. It is the desire for certainty and/or stems from the confusion generated by deception. Anything that stimulates or creates desire in all of its forms is deception.

Why is desire the root cause of all emotional suffering? Because it is desire that makes you feel incomplete. This concept of being incomplete is an illusion. This is the greatest illusion ever devised. The good news is that this was the Plan all along. Desire was never an accident but created by design. Individuality is impossible to create if each piece believes itself part of the cohesive whole. The illusion of desire is necessary for propagation and expansion. Instead of only one Cosmic identity, through desire we can multiply. New empowered personalities can now be born in full independence and become self-realized.

Only one thing must be done in order to experience full enlightenment. To master desire is the only thing separating you from unlimited Ultimate power and unlimited Ultimate pleasure.

At this point, you may be confused. Desire is so much a part of your life that you cannot imagine your life without it. How can you even eat without feeling a desire for food? How can you go to work if you don't have a desire to make money? These are valid questions that arise simply because of a misunderstanding of what desire is. Desire is an external force not an internal one. Your internal biological urges, whether they be for hunger or sex, are not necessarily desires. Often desires can be linked with them, but it is possible to separate desire from these biological urges.

The ideal lifestyle is not about doing what you desire or about fulfilling your desires, but it is about doing what you love or what you are inspired to do. For example, if you feel incomplete without the object of your longing, then that is not love or inspiration, but desire. 

Let's give an example. Let's say you like a car. There are different ways to be motivated to buy that car. The most common way for a shopper to be motivated to buy anything is desire. And that is to say, that you feel a strong compulsion to accumulate it and you feel attached to the idea of you having it. Another motivation is that you love the car and feel it can express who you are. Instead of feeling incomplete without it, instead you regard it as an outer expression of your inner identity. Another way to buy the car is a detached sense of inspiration whereby you feel inspired to buy it because you think it is a good idea and you don't have any strong attachment to it other than it serves the purpose that you feel guided to fulfill. 

In the preceding examples, when you bought the car out of desire, that was the disempowered action. When you act on your desires, you reinforce their validity and strengthen their power over your life. This subtlety is extremely important to be aware of should you wish to empower yourself to greater heights. The truth is that we are all unlimited beings living in a limited body. When we validate desire, we validate the limitation. When we validate this limitation, we are not experiencing our deeper authenticity, which is unlimitedness.

This is the primary problem that plagues humanity. It is only by mastering desire can anyone attain true Liberation which is what Enlightenment is all about.

Also in the episode, a story is shared about Huna, Hawaiian mysticism.

This is why the Supreme reality is not a mindless orgy of Oneness. Because you are More, a distinction is created. This is how you are distinguished. To whitewash all into a vanilla conformity is the opposite of diversity. It is because inequality exists that an adventure can exist. When we realize that there is upward mobility, then there must be a reason for that mobility to occur. This inherent drive towards excellence means that excellence is not already everywhere. For this concept to be true, mediocrity has its place. Regardless of the obvious disparities, the spark of unlimitlessness exists even in the mediocre. However, to treat the mediocre as the same as the excellent is to discourage the mediocre from identifying with their own individual excellence deep within.

True inspiration is to see the potential especially among those who cannot see it within themselves. Often these are the outcasts of society, those who are oppressed and downtrodden. When they can see their potential via their reflection through you, they are motivated to move mountains. This kind of assistance is both more effective and appreciated more than charity.

This is the purpose of hierarchy. It is to the glorify Excellence in everyOne, and remind them that aspiring to experience and express this Excellence is the purpose of life, not identifying with mediocrity.

The Ultimate reality is about both duality and non-duality experienced simultaneously. Non-duality without duality is just as bad as duality without non-duality.

People get hung up on clinging to this false dichotomy of duality / non-duality when the paradox of human existence is that we get to enjoy both. That is our privilege as humans. To neglect one or the other is to disrespect your very Nature.

We are born into human bodies for a reason. We are given access to non-dualistic experience for a reason. This means that finding Harmony and Wholeness requires the integration of both aspects into the deepest core of our being. "Ego death" is not necessary to experience non-duality. Disbelief in objective Truth is not necessary to experience duality. Likewise, the belief in the concept of an objective Truth as a force that also exists independently of you, is not a belief in Duality either. The Whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You are so amazing that the greatest part of you exists even outside of yourself. 

Just as we have a mind, a body and a heart, so also do we have different ways of experiencing life. As we adjust to life, we realize that the only limitations we experience are those that we allow ourselves to have. When your intent is pure, the Universe will empower you to impact the world in the way you are destined to. The world wasn't designed to rock you. You were designed to Rock the World.

Having nothing left to prove to yourself, your life becomes a stage. You realize that your words and actions are not about you, but for them. "There is no them." The non-dualist would say, and they would be right. From that perspective, the Ultimate act of selfishness is to live your life for Others. This is the fullest act and why "All the world's a stage."

This dance with the external happens because the internal is transmuted. The spiral outward has begun. No longer is your life measured by your happy days, but by the number of lives you touch. While before the score could reach 365, now that number is uncapped to the exponential. Whereas before you were singular, your trajectory multiplies the essence of who you are into billions and beyond. Billions of dollars you ask ? Of course not. Billions of souls! The "wealthy" obsess over mere money while True wealth exists in the hearts and minds of the people. Unbounded by boundaries and united by spirit, they are Everything. Without them, your life is as small as your fragile ego. With them, you have a future for the world that can exceed the imagination of what you thought heaven could be. 

Every day becomes the possibility that exceeded what yesterday offered. Their souls uplifted, the celebration begins. A party so vast that only the people of everywhere can be cast in it. Each individual being the blossoming flower emitting the unique fragrance that creates the symphonic bouquet of human purpose and meaning.

Why be only the conductor of your own conduct, when you can help conduct the orchestra to play the symphony of life ?

The purpose of each human is to be an independent self-aware vehicle of Love and Truth. There is no greater aspiration to have as a human.

It is less about false "ego" and more about you not being independent enough. True individuality is represented by those who cannot be unsettled by anything external. Ego is not the problem that people make it out to be. The problem comes from people not being individual enough.
