Much love,

Julie true ,even deeper states of meditation ,samadhis , leads to ego buildup of superiority ,i think i have stopped chasing those states .
This is a great point, Julie. And for that reason-- ego force-- we can literally become ANYTHING we want. It's just a matter of scripting a new story. The issue is many of us believe that we are intrinsically connected somehow to our original story--- that is, the one that is molded by our parents and teachers-- but in actuality we can just change who we want to be simply by making the decision to change. What do you think?
I agree :) but awakening is not about "scripting a new story". You can, but you will know this is another illusion made up of mind just like the "original" :) we can be free of stories and just live. Or play around with them if it feels fun. :)
What does it mean to investigate yourself? What does it entail, what does it look like?
Investigate the sense of self. Of being. Only you know what it looks like. 😊
hey Julie, i had a general question for you which is not specifically related to this video, but, since you're originally from Danmark i believe, i have been travelling on my own this summer for two months in Scandinavia and it was reaffirmed again to me that people generally very very content about there lives (exceptionally high given the general mood in the world) and i can see clearly the links the between vast natural surroundment and way way less people than most places in the world, giving way less friction between people i guess (but that's just my guess), now, relating to nonduality because i can imagine you thinkiny where is this going when you reading it😅, since i of course know nationality or physical/geographic circumstances can give great advantages on the relative surface level of life but of course never absolutely fullfilling because security is to be found in the complete opposite; our formless essence, do you think, and maybe this is a bit of a unnecessary people-gategorizing question but i wanted to ask it anyway, that people in Scandinavia are generally closer to the source since they live in such harmony with nature and calmness towards other people, or, on the contrary are they only able to move further away from the essence since they have not yet been exposed that much to the extremities of physical and psychological suffering to found in most places of the world right now, or as Eckart Tolle would say; are they actually still more in the pre-egoic stage.. i know this question is a bit placed in a crude yes/no way so therefore i'm curious if you have complete different thought on this :)
because, i was just (again) amazed by the extreme relaxedness of people not just in Denmark but Sweden and Norway very much and i've to say the endless natural environments with very few people and civilazation do something really special with you as a human being have to admit that.
Hi and thxs for the comment. Maybe I will make a video about cultures :) I am actually Norwegian, and after living in Costa Rica I had the opposite impression to you. I think different cultures have different collective consciousnesses, but this is unrelated to awakening as people can wake up everywhere. This is all Source so we are equally connected in the absolute. :)
absolutely on point. thank you for the response :) i think also that these cultural impressions are relative to the country you live in yourself, i think the major reason why i had this impression is precisely because in the Netherlands there is so little forest left and so many people and civilized area. But anyway yea this divisive reasoning in terms of 'this culture vs that culture' sometimes feeds right into the form identity building and can be extremely misleading.
@@simonbekkers6520 Thank you. I agree :) however, it can often make sense in the relative sense to see how different cultures shapes us and our paradigm of the world.
Hello from Colombia! I have a silly question if you don't mind.
After awakening and shifting your perspective, do you (your body in Maya) still have a personality?
I.E. Do you still laugh at a joke? Feel all warm inside when seeing a puppy? Enjoy being in shape and doing cardio? Enjoy reading a book on fiction?
Or do stillness permeates all of these things and it doesn't matter anymore?
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Hello :D I don't mind. I think I should answer your first question with a video. What is a personality? Is it a mental story (identity) about how you are? Or is it how others interpret and label you in their mind? I think the paradigm of needing to even worry about that drops away. But if something happens I would say that one become more authentic, real and unable to fake it :)
I definitely laugh at jokes I find funny, I feel more gratidtude and love towards puppies (and everything else) than ever and I am being healthy the way that feels natural to me (eating whole foods, dance and yoga). There are no rules, I wouldn't even tie them to a mental idea about a personality. Those things just occur naturally. Not sure if it made sense.
Julie ,like you feel there is no doer of things ,like their is no Julie which is doing things ,things are automatic ?
@@theexpansivejourney3570 thank you so much. The number 1 worrying, for me, in this awakening process, is that I (this body) will no longer care for my loved ones
@@juanplazas4593 I have more empathy and love for my loved ones than ever ❤️ but there is less attachment and codependency, more naturalness and authenticity. how can your true nature be less loving than ego identity? Much love 🙏🏻
