It's so funny in retrospect to realize that this search that which is kept me going for as long as it did. It's so incredibly simple and obvious that I think that at some point this will become the normal state of being for everyone. Ok here we go: do you feel this sense of being? That which has always been there and is just this aliveness, which is always here and now and in which everything seems to take place? That's it.. that's you! Now your mind intercepts this message and starts grasping and trying to find this aliveness.. you can just let that be, no need to stop thoughts.. there's no such thing as a wrong thought, they are just like little apps running on a phone trying to understand what a phone is, even though they are just bits of software running which can never begin to understand what the entirety of a phone entails. so just let your thoughts do their thing while you defocus and sense that aliveness until you wonder how you ever missed it, because that's it! That's really all there is to this! Once it was seen, it was like the pulleys which pull all the things in my body and which were controlled by my mind were cut, and a sense of relaxation which you can only understand once it happens came over me. You won't understand what a stressful situation this fight or flight mode been until it ends.. haha Anyway life is stil llife, and things just keep going the way they have been going. Often the mind still comes back, but as soon as I sit down I just kindof automatically fall into this sense of being again, resulting in that deep sense of quietness and relaxation. I guess you could call it a blessing :) I suspect that as time goes on things will normalize, while at the same time deepen. It's like that feeling of freedom one enjoys when on a really nice vacation :)
The trapped feeling… So this entire bubble of time and space and the thoughts that make it seem to be there are all just happening. And in the beginning when I decided to pretend that I could separate myself from God, I suspended my disbelief that i could not do that. So I had to believe an impossibility. And I have to keep up that charade. And so all the thoughts in that bubble are already there and then just float before my eyes. Not even of my making as the reality that I truly am. And I think I have no choice but to think them. I am their prisoner.
So sometimes I sit in the living room and have very little thoughts. No stories and here and now is here and now. Then I will gently go into thoughts. Not bad ones, just some thoughts. And I did not even notice I did it. And it feels like a drug that pulls me under water. Into a heap of a mess and bogged down. Then I come to my senses and realize what just “happened” and shake my head as if to get rid of the cobwebs of a dream. And it clears. And this pure shining here and now is back. Back where it always is. And awareness of it returns. Vigilance only for the kingdom of Heaven I think this is the experience of it. But it is not vigilance as we thought. It is just telling the difference between what really feels good and what doesn’t Before it was opposite, my thoughts seemed good and not thinking my thoughts seemed it would be bad
I truely believe this is what jesus means when he says you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. You must be childlike drop all concepts to enter the timeless dimension. Born again , like a newborn baby. No duality
Hi , Terrence . I get it about thoughts , I can see them for what they are and let go but what about feelings that come up automatically in the body in an instant ?
I find myself going back into old habits. I find myself doing the same self-destructive things. I was doing before but now I can see that I'm doing it. I'm at a loss. I try to use the mind but it ends up using me. The only thing I can do now is see all of the bad things i'm doing to myself.
You’re taking yourself to be what mind is saying you are, this is false, you are beyond what mind could identify as you. The old habits are simply old stories, there is no need to act on an old story. Where are you truely? What is being affected? Is there an actual cause?
@TerrenceStephens I guess I'm not as technically savvy as I thought I was. I was trying to find information on how to schedule a visit with you online. But I don't seem to be any smarter than the computer I'm using. I feel like I have the key in the lock. But for whatever reason, I simply can't turn it. And I don't know why. I'm free to move. I'm free to do whatever I wish. And yet.... It's just raw emotion and confusion. It hurts.

Look into the work of Michael Singer - he explains why we are not our mind very well in his books. The Untethered soul is a good read ☺️. Go easy on yourself. This is an unlearning process and in that, know it that takes time.
I find that when we watch a movie, the movie feels so real! It's part of the fun. We still need to realize that we were in the living room all the while. :)
Thank you so much for sharing. So many of these awakening and awareness videos are showing up. There really seems to be a wave of awakening happening.

“Awaken to what you’re not” great pointer! . If we don’t see what we are not,we continue in trying to awaken the me. The matrix of the mind is crafty.
Indeed 😁🙏

Nondyualities' core message - Seeker starts the journey and when the true awareness happens the seeker dissolves and the seeking stops
Why they always say apparently😮

For the seeker to arise again and tell that “it” has been lost and needs to be found again. At least in ‘my’ experience
Great men like you as a friend of mine from Lancashire England UK pendle

The biggest problem is that there is a localized view of the world from this specific point or perspective or body (and not from any other).
True, and yet still another story 🙏
Hi , Terrence . I get it about thoughts , I can see them for what they are and let go but what about feelings that come up automatically in the body in an instant ?
What is a feeling without a thought?
I find myself going back into old habits. I find myself doing the same self-destructive things. I was doing before but now I can see that I'm doing it.
I'm at a loss. I try to use the mind but it ends up using me.
The only thing I can do now is see all of the bad things i'm doing to myself.

My thoughts seem so real at times, they catch me out.
Yes I know, now see that it’s also thoughts catching thoughts out 😁🙏
