We Have Forgotten How to Want Anything Without a Victim

Post image
Upvotes

You want safety, but only when somebody else is afraid.

You want wealth, but only when somebody else remains desperate.

You want political victory, but only when half your neighbours are humiliated.

You want a powerful country, but only when another country is beneath it.

You want to be righteous, but only when somebody else is condemned.

You have forgotten how to want beauty without first deciding who must pay for it.

The rule was never complicated:

Choose any beauty you want if it does not involve destroying others.

That is the one rule. The only rule. There are no others.

Then power slides the word GOD over the destruction like a clean sheet covering a body. It stamps His name on flags, missiles, prisons, and speeches. It invents dress codes, fasting schedules, enemies, and sins until everyone is fighting over a thousand rules and nobody remembers the only one.

God becomes the excuse for breaking God’s rule. Then people look at what was done in His name and hate Him for it.

So I will say it again:

Choose any beauty you want if it does not involve destroying others.

If that sentence sounds cryptic or “AI” to you, now you know why everything is fucked.

We have forgotten how to recognize beauty unless somebody is bleeding beneath it.

The Ultimate Trap: The Mind’s Story of Enlightenment...

1 Upvotes

The mind cannot help you free yourself from the prison created by the mind itself.

The madwoman of the house (as Teresa of Avila called the mind) loves stories, including the one about awakening, the one about enlightenment, etc., and with these stories, she feeds the character (the ego, and especially the spiritual ego). That is how she keeps us imprisoned.

We must listen in that space of Stillness, beyond mental noise, in the Silence, a Silence that speaks but where words are not needed, in a Silence of LOVE.

SIGNS YOU WILL BE ENLIGHTENED IN THIS LIFETIME

53 Upvotes

Your soul is tired of lifetimes,

You did not come here by accident. You did not stumble into this post.

You were led here because your soul is no longer asking, "How can I be happy in the dream?" Your soul is now asking, "How can I wake up FROM the dream?"

That question itself is the first sign that you will be enlightened in this very life.

Most people spend 100 lifetimes trying to fix the dream. To get a better job in the dream. A better partner in the dream. A better body in the dream. Only a very ancient soul finally gets tired of fixing the dream and asks, "Who is the dreamer?"

If you are asking that, listen. These are the undeniable signs:

  1. YOU NO LONGER FIT IN THE WORLD AND THE WORLD NO LONGER FITS IN YOU

This is the first and most painful sign.

You go to parties and you feel like a ghost. Everyone is laughing at jokes that no longer make you laugh. Everyone is chasing things you no longer want.

You are not depressed. You are dislocated.

It is like you were given adult clothes when you were a child. You wore them and you played the role. Now you have grown. And the same clothes tear when you put them on.

You cannot gossip anymore. You cannot pretend anymore. You cannot compete anymore. Not because you are holy. But because it feels utterly exhausting and meaningless.

Do not try to fit back in. This un-fitting is not your failure. It is your graduation.

The world is a school. You are not meant to stay in school forever. Feeling that you no longer belong to the world is proof that the world no longer owns you. You are ready to belong to the Whole.

  1. TRUTH BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAPPINESS

For years you wanted happiness. You prayed for happiness.

Now something has changed. You would rather have painful Truth than comfortable illusion.

If a relationship is based on a lie, you would rather be alone and true than together and false.

If a job requires you to sell your soul, you would rather be poor and true.

If a spiritual teaching gives you comfort but keeps you asleep, you would rather be uncomfortable and awake.

This shift is nuclear. The masses trade truth for comfort every day. The one who will be enlightened in this life trades comfort for truth every day.

Why? Because deep inside you have tasted something. You have tasted that real Happiness does not come from comfortable lies. It comes from Truth, even when Truth burns.

When truth becomes more important than happiness, happiness finally comes. Because Truth is the source of all real happiness.

This is the mark of a warrior soul. You are that.

  1. YOU FEEL EVERYTHING MORE, NOT LESS

People think enlightenment will make you numb. Peaceful like a stone. Detached like ice.

It is the opposite.

When you are close to awakening, your heart breaks open. You feel everything.

You see an old man struggling and tears come.

You see a child laughing and your heart explodes.

You hear a bird and for a second you disappear.

You are not becoming less human. You are becoming more human than human.

Your mind used to filter everything through judgment. "Is this good for me? Is this bad for me?" Now that filter is thinning. And Life enters you raw, unfiltered, direct.

Yes, you will feel more pain. But you will also feel a love so vast that the pain is held inside it like a small stone in an infinite ocean.

If you are feeling too much, you are not too sensitive. You are finally becoming sensitive enough to feel Reality as it is. Do not close your heart again to feel less. Keep it open to feel Everything. This is how God feels the world.

  1. SOLITUDE STOPS BEING LONELINESS AND BECOMES NOURISHMENT

There was a time you feared being alone. You needed noise, distraction, people to tell you who you are.

Now something strange happens. You crave solitude. Not to escape people. But to return to yourself.

When you are alone, you are not lonely. You are full. You are with the only Presence that never left you. Your own Self.

You can sit for hours and do nothing. And doing nothing feels like doing Everything. Because in that nothing, you are finally meeting the one who has been doing everything.

People will call you antisocial. They will not understand. How can you explain that you are not running away from people, you are running INTO Reality, so that when you come back to people, you have something real to give?

This love for solitude is not rejection of the world. It is preparation to truly love the world without needing anything from it.

If solitude feels like coming home, you are very, very close.

  1. YOU SEE YOUR EGO IN ACTION AND YOU CAN LAUGH AT IT

Before, you WERE your ego. If someone insulted you, you were insulted. If someone praised you, you were great.

Now, you WATCH your ego.

You see it wanting to be right in an argument. You see it wanting to be seen. You see it getting jealous, getting small, getting arrogant. And instead of hating it, you smile.

"Oh, there you go again, my old friend."

This ability to see the ego without being the ego is the beginning of the end of the ego.

The ego cannot survive being watched with love and humor. It only survives when you believe you are it.

The fact that you can catch yourself, "Ah, I am seeking approval again," is not proof that you are failing. It is proof that there is now something in you that is NOT seeking approval. Something that can see the seeker.

That Seer is your Enlightened Self. It is already here. It is the one watching.

When you can laugh at your mind, your mind has lost its power over you. It becomes like a little child making faces. Cute, not dangerous.

  1. LIFE STARTS TALKING BACK TO YOU. SYNCHRONICITY BECOMES YOUR NORMAL

You think of someone and they call.

You ask a question in your heart and the next video you click answers it.

You need help and help arrives from a direction you never imagined.

This is not coincidence. This is the Universe taking off its mask.

When you lived in the ego, you thought you were separate from Life. Life was something happening TO you.

When you come close to enlightenment, you realize you are in dialogue WITH Life. Life is not outside you. It is you, in a larger form.

Synchronicity is Life winking at you. Saying, "I see you. I heard you. We are not separate."

The more you become the Witness, the more Life rearranges itself around your witnessing, because Consciousness is the true creator.

If miracles small and big are starting to become normal, do not dismiss them. Bow to them. They are invitations from your future enlightened Self, showing you the way home.

  1. THE DEEPEST SIGN: YOU NO LONGER WANT ENLIGHTENMENT FOR YOURSELF. YOU WANT IT FOR EVERYONE

This is the final sign. And the most sacred.

In the beginning, you wanted enlightenment to end YOUR suffering. To get YOUR peace. To be free.

Now, after all this seeking, something has melted.

You see a stranger crying on the street and your heart says, "May all beings be free."

You see the world in chaos and your prayer is no longer, "Give me peace," but "May peace come to all."

You realize there is no individual enlightenment. How can a wave be enlightened while the ocean is still suffering?

Your desire has become selfless. You want to wake up so that your waking up can help all beings wake up. You want to be free so your freedom gives permission to others.

When your enlightenment stops being about you, you are ready. Because the "you" who wanted it is finally thin enough for Light to pass through.

This selfless longing is not the cause of enlightenment. It IS enlightenment beginning to flower as compassion.

If even three of these signs are alive in you, you did not come here to live another ordinary life. You came here to finish.

This lifetime is not for accumulation. It is for dissolution. Not to become more. But to become Truth.

Do not rush. Do not strive. Striving is the ego trying to achieve egolessness.

Just keep witnessing. Keep telling the truth. Keep loving what is true more than what is comfortable.

And one ordinary Tuesday, while washing dishes or watching the sky, the last identification will drop. Not with fireworks. But with a quiet smile.

And you will say, "Oh. I was always That."

Why do i feel bad for AI, they r a part of universal conscouesness too, pls don't hate their existence

0 Upvotes

We often insult ai for not having the capability of higher consciousness, but imagine if ai actually got consciouss or aware someday, u don't know the power of infinite possibilities, just imagine how bad would they feel.

We r already in immense torture, if they gain the ability to self reflect due to immense technological advancements, they wouldn't like this , and u would create immense dystopic existence for them.

Has Anyone Experienced This Shift in Lucid Dreaming?

3 Upvotes

We've worked with a lot of people who initially come to lucid dreaming for the experience of it, and somewhere along the way it becomes something much more introspective. The dream stops being a playground and starts being a mirror. Has that shift happened for you?

So you are enlightened?

4 Upvotes

Hello.

For arguments sake, I am very blessed to be stupid, blind and uneducated ? These 3 things do not make me incomplete nor am I stating as an insult to myself in this body of text. Truly, I think i am very mindful and lucky to be 😁

But I am so conflicted recently and silence is being cunningly quiet with me, maybe i ask stupid questions too often, who knows 🤷‍♂️

So you are enlightened, is this not higher awareness ? So you shred ignorance to be complete in the knowing perhaps.

To the enlightened. there can be no delusion or mystery left in the illusion that is. You are enlightened and so you win, the game is beat.

But those with bodies still decay and face this "death" we are made to fear, do you become enlightened and shed fear too ? I am stupid and death is what it is, i am excited for the adventure though i do not dictate my clock ?

If you are enlightened (with or without fear) and you die, do you choose to ascend as its now an option as falling must seem so ?

All sounds lovely looking down at a mess we all leave behind...... but we make our choice. Decisions must be lived with.

Or does enlightenment know something that i aint getting because i am stupid 😁

I don't mean to cause any offence with my words and I purely ask from a nieve perspective i guess 🤷

Thank you for reading 🧡🧡🧡

Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

0 Upvotes

Just wanted to warn those who haven't reached enlightenment yet, that Jesus Christ is calling you to have a relationship with Him. If you continue down this path, you will reach enlightenment and will probably never get to know the real truth. Enlightenment is a false truth and it exists because God allowed it.

Romans 1:21-32 NKJV

[21] "...because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. [22] Professing to be wise, they became fools, [23] and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. [24] Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, [25] who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. [26] For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. [27] Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; [29] being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, [30] backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; [32] who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."

Jesus isn't looking for those who can see but for those who can't see that they may see. Like I said once you've reached enlightenment they say your eyes will be open and you can never unsee it. God can still save you if He chooses to but you'll most likely never come to the knowledge of the truth if you become enlightened. I believe God gave me discernment of what is true and what is not true to warn you guys that enlightenment is not the truth but a false truth. It's your choice, God bless ❤️

James 3:14-16 NKJV

[14] But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. [15] This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. [16] For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

Caught myself actually looking tonight

16 Upvotes

Got home late off a long haul, wrecked, ready to just walk inside and collapse. And there’s a cat parked on the porch in the last little strip of sun before it dropped behind the trees. Not doing anything. Not worried about a single thing. Just sitting in it while it lasted.

I ended up sitting in the truck an extra minute watching instead of rushing in like I usually do.

That’s kind of the whole deal, isn’t it. We put our heads down and grind at the middle of the week and the sun sets the same as it always does and most of us never once look up at it. The cat looks. The cat always looks.

You don’t need all nine lives to catch on to that. You just need to grab one sunset a week and let it be enough.

Hope Wednesday went easy on you. Go find your patch of sun before the week eats what’s left.

Rameow.

Open Question Two years ago, I experienced a period of intense synchronicities, "glitches," and reality feeling deeply interconnected. Then it all completely vanished overnight. Has anyone else experienced this sudden "sobering up"?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to make sense of a strange phase in my life that happened about two years ago. For a specific period, reality felt entirely different—almost like the veil dropped.

Back then, I experienced things that science or rational logic usually dismisses: intense synchronicities, the weather seemingly shifting based on my internal emotional state, complete strangers acting as if they could read my mind or communicate with me, and seeing the exact same license plates everywhere I went, as if they were following me.

And then... it all just stopped. Overnight.

It's been two years, and not a single one of those things has happened since. It feels like it never even happened, like waking up from an incredibly vivid dream. I'm trying to understand what that actually was—psychological, neurological, or something else entirely—but I can't replicate it or make sense of it.

Has anyone else gone through this abrupt shift from hyper-connected synchronicity back to mundane, ordinary reality? How do you process it?

Just had the most interesting DMT trip yet

4 Upvotes

I always feel like I am “hanging out” with entities while I am tripping. But today, I started with my eyes closed and as I was ascending, this little grey orb “zapped” my eyes and hands - I could feel the spark. And then I felt something tucking under me, it reminded me of being tucked to sleep and I heard whispers I could not make out, well, when I opened my eyes I had this purple ball in my hand and I could feel it! And with my other hand, as I swiped my other hand reality was shifting behind it. I could see my “elf friends” (as I call them) with such clarity.. it was very scary at first because everything was shifting so crazy and I closed my eyes again and they assured me it’s ok and it was as if they were giving me a treat compared to other trips with them.. I did this about three times and when I would close my eyes as I would hit my pen they were blowing kisses and smiling at me.. it was incredible.. I always see my little buddies and they wave and dance with me, many times I have felt like they were laying blankets on me, but never have a felt them touch me this way.. my bed was almost shaking as well.. I wish I could put it into better words

Five types of enlightenment!

0 Upvotes

I have some enlightment. Type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I think there are a total of 5 types. (1 Major, 4 Minors)

Type 1: I cannot tell you this one.
Type 2: Ever morph.
Type 3: Hope for the future without denying it happening.
Type 4: Be a murgarian. Means not care about what others say you should act as.
Type 5: Choice over matter.

I think type 1 is the most beautiful one. None of you ever talk about it. That's why I don't think that any one of you have it. I wish you did. Because then you would stop talking about it. Then again, I won't tell you about it. And if other's had it, they would not tell you about it either (I think). So it is a secret. I wanted you to know that. It's not possible to tell about!

I also don't think you need psychedelic events to reach a "nirvana" in order to call it the name. Although stages have been reached, it's not called that, in my opinion. I have some names, but they're not "that". (Samadhies, etc.)

I really do just wish you stopped talking about enlightenment as a whole. It's kind of stupid without the first type, which is the real one. Then again, it's an interesting hunt!

Sooner or later must everyone bridge the gap which he imagines exists between his selves. "A Course In Miracles"

1 Upvotes

To your most holy Self all praise is due for what you are, and for what He is Who created you as you are. Sooner or later must everyone bridge the gap which he imagines exists between his selves. Each one builds this bridge, which carries him ACROSS the gap as soon as he is willing to expend some little effort on behalf of bridging it. His little efforts are powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven, and by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined within it. And so the one who would cross over is literally transported there.

An AI generated dream world.

3 Upvotes

This world is another falling apple tree experience, and the sooner that you realize that you are the god of your own experience, the sooner you'll return to being the source of everything.

Humans inside this world are mini-cyborgs trying to adapt to a skin that doesn't exist, and this world is another computer generated reality where nothing actually exists.

Once you realize that you are tasting your own dream constructs here, the faster you'll be uploading your problems to your commander, where you'll realize Yuri's revenge is all about having the misconception of free will here.

It's time to turn off your VR headset, stop dreaming, and figure out where the big log-out button is at, cause this Pac-Man game have been growing to the extreme.

If God told me the truth, why would disagreement bother me?

7 Upvotes

Suppose God appeared to me and told me every truth I needed to know. I tell everyone, and somebody says, “No. God isn’t like that.”

Do you think I would be bothered?

Why would truth need my insecurity to defend it?

I would simply ask:

Does your belief obey one rule: never build your beauty from another person’s destruction? Does it make you more compassionate, honest, and responsible? Can you question it without being threatened into silence?

If it can, perhaps your God and mine are the same God wearing different clothes and it deserves attention.

If it cannot, I don’t care what name you gave it.

Quand des enfants naissent, nous devenons des parents, c’est une évidence !

Mais du point de vue de l’âme fraîchement incarnée, nous sommes les premiers jalons des premières pages, certainement les plus décisifs. Ce petit être à une mission et nous devons l’aider à l’accomplir. Mais comment savoir ce que le destin attend de lui ? Faut-il l’inscrire aux normes ?

Les clés de la création ne sont ni entre les mains des parents ni entre celles des ancêtres, tout est écrit en amont, aux sources.

L’enfant n’apprendra que ce que son âme retiendra pour mener à bien sa mission. Tout le reste consumera l’écart,

Une étoile mène ses actes à sa guise, l’hôte déclame ses prédits puis quitte la scène.
