Quoting: new_age_anarchy its the truth that hurts...enlightenment is seeing life for what it really is and it can be as ugly as it is beautiful, as is the duality of everything. some people really cant handle the thruth. I once said that enlightenment would be akin to transcending dualism, not ignoring it, or pushing it away. there is no transcending the absolute truth in the divine realm. there is only a detached yet fully consumed comprehension and participation of the complete dimensional fabric of our existence. you neither run or stay. you are superpositioned. it is a surrender. a letting go and letting God so to speak while being completely active yet inactive simulatenously. sounds insane, right? Right, and the divine realm is 'above' dualism, IMO. Not to me, it doesn't sound insane. I know exactly what you are talking about. here is why there is no escape from dualism. anything that exists is part of "everything". it is in motion and in place for a reason, good bad or indifferent. philosophers have tried to define many schools of thought like dualism. these definitions are ethereal. This is precisely why the word of God states clearly to "not lean on our own understanding." It has nothing to do with staying ignorant but everything to do with men trying to box in ideas keeping one ignorant. nobody is meant to operate from dualism. what is better is to see it operating in the minds of men. watch it as a silent observer and remain objective. make sense? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38669860 Through the seeking they charge up IMHO. Informational energy....so cool. That's kind of where my thoughts were going. I imagine the mental challenges get much more difficult, and builds upon itself the more the person is unable to get properly grounded. Especially in an environment that does not allow for certain experiences to be a 'reality'. The build gets so intense that sleep is no longer required on the same level. Short term to long term transfer of memory is hindered via lack of sleep, so confusion occurs at times. Synchronicity makes you feel 'special'. As the number currently experiencing this are relatively small, there are not many we can relate with, so feel isolated. A godlike complex can manifest as the things shown again make you feel 'special'. I think it is unique to most people. For example, mine occurred with having to sleep, as I am able to experience spiritual 'advances' while in my dream state through lucid dreams/visions/astral travel, etc. And, the bold above makes it that much harder to achieve stability through grounding the self. Ahh yes, of course. I noticed men need less sleep, women less food. Have kind of taken a break from it all for a while, as I have felt very isolated, found myself pushing instead of flowing so have stopped all spiritual practices and am just chilling with my friends and family, the energy has slipped down again, yet I know now, that I can charge up, at will. At one stage I very nearly broke, what with all the things I would see, and could very well see how easy it would be to dissolve in to madness, creating fears and thoughts that have the backing of a highly charged individuals behind them manifests lots in other planes. Now if the same things manifested, I would ask them if they wanna play lol. Break or bend. Have a nice day chad. |

I think I understand what you are saying but to be above or past dualism may be the wrong way to word it... I believe you can only find balance in ascension, becoming the duality itself therefore removing yourself from it. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 865798 United States 04/22/2013 11:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting article. Schizophrenia: A mental illness or an advanced spiritual state? Quoting: SchizWe cannot run away from the fact that these symptoms of Schizophrenia are similar to some of the symptoms of higher spiritual states including enlightenment. Is it possible that the negative view of the symptoms of Schizophrenia is cultural driven? That maybe these symptoms are not abnormal but paranormal? Is it possible that some of the cases diagnosed based on the symptoms as Schizophrenia are actually psychic transformations, advanced spiritual state? Is it possible that the mental suffering accompanying Schizophrenia is actually not due to Schizophrenia itself but due to a feeling of not being normal, due to the resistance to the new state, due to the fear and loss of control? And on the other hand, is it possible that some of those proclaiming themselves as enlightened are simply schizophrenic people? [link to www.gurusfeet.com] |

You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ 13If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” 14The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” 17And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” 18Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” 19And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 20But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” 21Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.” |

Quoting: Septenary Man Why is this? GLP is a great venue to see this in action thanks to certain memes that run through the forum. Many posters volunteer that they have been institutionalized while in the midst of seeking. What causes this? Well there have been studies saying during an episode there are high Levels of DMT in the brain so, that would account for hallucinations? lol Beware what you wish for... |

Heather User ID: 6076834 United States 04/22/2013 12:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember after I had my first experience (back in January) I could tell I had become super affected by other people's energy... Short example... The state fair was in my city in February and I really like roller coasters, the anti-gravity rides and my favorite, the 'free-falling' rides...so ofcourse I went with my housemate...after walking approximately 5 minutes into the crowd I literally took off running back towards the entrance of the fair, like I took off running so fast my housemate didn't catch up to me until much later, I had time to smoke a whole cigarette... Once he caught up with me he asked 'what happened?' I tried to explain to him that I was picking up on others intentions and it freaked me out...he didn't understand then...but he does now... I could 'feel' exactly what everyone around me was 'feeling' and even possibly 'thinking'...it freaked me out... I backed away from my meditations (I was also doing a lot of breathing exercises while meditating) for about a month and I still take baby steps now...I always ask my soul not to show me anything I'm not ready for yet... I agree...bend or break... Things seem to be better for me now...I do feel isolated though...I'm just really at peace with everything now...which is weird when my attitude is peaceful and everyone around me is 'losing their shit'... I literally can't be around someone who lives for deceiving and/or manipulating right now but I'm working on it...as I would like to open their eyes to another way... Anyway, I hope you had a good weekend SM :) Going out bird watching soon...I will have you in my thoughts while out enjoying nature...have a great day! |

I have know several enlighten people and some were diagnose bi-polar and given medications that seam to slow down their enlightenment. INFJ; We are the protectors. |
