    Meditating 5-8h a day since 2 weeks. Its interesting... if you really wanna exit this game, you sit in silence. If you want to be entertained, you watch UA-cam videos about meditation. :D theres so much information in the silence and its like its another "me" in waking life. The vibrational difference is not really comprehendable by the human mind. Right now, it seems im getting feeded with high vibrations, so my body gets used to it... which in the beginning ended with a crash afterwards but reflecting on it helps. I wonder, how much "love" my body can hold... guess ill find out.

    I’m going to sit and reflect on joining your community because wow. After watching and scrolling your videos I gained clarity into what I call “my backward self” lol. My spiritual journey has been interesting and I’ve yet to share it with anyone really. I’m not someone who’s been able to meditate in a silent position, however, I do absolutely engage in intensity, the type that brings me joy! The growth, healing, transformations, transmutations etc. Many experiences I have had have been out of the ‘ordinary’ as far as many ancient teachings go with regard to meditation and some other things. It’s not something that I had to acquire to be attuned to my Divine Self, the meditation and some other things I mean by this. Yes with the capital letters there for Divine Self ;)
    I’ve never shared my experiences with others as they are not only so personal, but also I’m aware of how I’ll be perceived, it’s not time to share. You can’t perceive what you’re not ready to receive, so times are best in silence. And I am so ready for like minded people, frequency matches 🥹 Those speaking the same language and feeling the same vibe!
    So, with this all being said, may I find my way into your community to continue building more on Unconditional Love and bringing back Divine Feminine within the collective as we each remember our Spark 💜
    Also, love that you say Divine. I do too! I’ll say God if that’s what a person needs to perceive what I’m sharing, it doesn’t bother me what it’s called as I’m aware and feel it’s all ONE. In my own personal preference, it’s Divine ❤️‍🔥
    I appreciate your service to All , Ben 🌈

    perfect explanation you've made in only 10 minutes
    pure essentials
    Lack of sleep,
    Bad diet,
    Sensory engagement,
    Social media participation,
    Thinking procrastination
    I always refer all these as energy leaks
    On the other hand if you just say "energy discharge"
    That wouldn't mean anything for the people
    So you did it perfectly by mapping all these activities that drain our energy
    So really very good point to put attention on the intensity.
    Thanks for all your videos you make :)
    That's why I never miss any of your videos, on the other hand instead of keep my astonishment, better put myself together
    Thank you :)

    Thank you Ben, for clarifying my concerns. I have found that 6 days a week i am eager to get out of bed early & meditate. Around the 7th day my body just wants to stay in bed & sleep. What i am finding is the next morning i go much deeper into meditation. I always try to listen to my body, just sometimes wonder if it is my ego talking.

    The interconnectedness of everything and the occurrence of synchronicity are very interesting. Perhaps it is less about physical things like food and more about mindset and a general state of happiness and fulfillment with one's life and endeavors. Time is a valuable aspect of the human experience, and I agree with Ben that quality over quantity is the way to go. Align yourself and surrender!

      Perfect statement,
      I know what you mean by saying "The interconnectedness of everything and the occurrence of synchronicity are very interesting"
      I've had many times being in that state, for large periods in my life, and the one thing that I'd strongly relate is the "energy you have", somehow it should be aligned and ego surrender. Also there should be a strong inspiration of some sort. Those are the most magical periods I've had

    An issue I observe
    People's mind is like a mad monkey
    The reason why
    We have to interact with the dynamic and very complicated reality today
    If you bring awareness
    And somehow succeed to ignore the ego, that all tries is to engage in action
    We search engagement with external world
    Because we fear we cannot control it anymore
    During dynamic and very uncertain times
    That makes us fear
    Fear for survival
    Survival agenda dictaтеd by the surrounding social media
    That is not a human communication
    Rather exchange of idealistic stances on each of us, communicating via this media, trуing to recognize each other as entities
    Just to communicate
    To share
    The way out is meditation
    To find your stable point
    And to fix yourself there
    The issue is that once you reached such vistas, your comfort doesn't matter anymore
    You want to share your glimpses with others
    And to see the smile on their face

    I’ve just finished a 20 minute meditation, managed to enter a quiet mind, focusing on the tick tock of the clock. Eyes closed…within a few minutes lots of smoke like shapes on an indigo background followed by what I can only describe as a kaleidoscope of activity. Wow that was intense for me. I don’t meditate everyday and first time in a while I’ve practiced for longer than 15 minutes. Such a strange experience, so much so that I need to check my eyes are closed 😊
    Is this the start of moving on to more spiritual/profound experiences? Or is this something else?

    • @p14men
      @p14men 3 місяці тому +8

      All depends on how you spend your energy
      If I eat veggie, then I'm very light, flexible and agile
      If I eat carnivore, then have stamina and endurance
      All depends on how you position yourself in the world and what play you participate in.
      Both have pros and cons, while unaware
      Both can be equally sufficient, as far as you know your body
      Most importantly to notice, it is not about the "gene" or "body type", rather awareness of your own energy consumption, and how with low energy to achieve more, and how to maintain your balance
      All is about your awareness and knowing yourself
      A great example - imagine how powerful and masculine, and full of testosterone the Bull is, being on a veggie diet

    Is 10 units compared to 10 minutes?

  • @p14men
    @p14men 3 місяці тому

    Let me correct myself
    Many times I preach keep your energy
    But if you just pump the energy in
    It happens that keeping with the strongest will
    You'll become rather nervous and energetic, hyperactive
    Because you become unaware of your own energy by ignoring it
    Your will suppresses your awareness for the energy, in order to contain it
    You become dull
    On the other hand it might happen that
    reaching certain level of "energized yourself"
    You'll stop eating, since no energy spent
    Basically got in a plateau with no further advancement
    If you somehow maintain awareness while charging
    Then becomes very tricky play-field for the ego to emerge
    And dress you in exclusive roles to shine
    Then you need to focus your awareness
    Into some small point ignoring everything around you
    cutting the strings with the world
    Your ego loses control
    Being isolated from the outside world
    Entering the tunnel
    Surrounded by the doubts
    Dedicated to the oath you've promised to yourself
    To reach the deep
    How deep is that promise?
    To the bottom of your heart
    If then you'll make it
    You will know
    You'd like to share what's waiting there

  • @amy-lyne

    Potentially dumb question over here. But what do you mean by "depth" of meditation? It's always hard for me to really get what people mean because I attribute that word with being deep in thought and meditation makes my thoughts more shallow... if that makes sense... can't even articulate it

    • @craftedforgaming
      @craftedforgaming 3 місяці тому +1

      Hello, let me try and clarify for you if Ben doesn't get to this.
      Let's model our inner environment as a body of water. For the average person, beneath the surface, there are very strong currents of thoughts and emotions and whatever else. This presents anything, in this case, your consciousness, from sinking below the thoughts and other junk of the mind.
      Through meditation, we can calm those currents and still them which lets you sink below the clutter and reach the still, deep parts of your self.
      What does this feel like? Typically, you feel greater stillness of mind, perhaps it is accompanied with your eternal senses receding. In any case, when you get there, depth will make sense to you.

    What is your source for the statement that you made about meat being "heavy" and "hard to digest". You said "some people even say and I would probably agree" about this. So, is that your opinion? Who are the "some people"? I am dismayed by the nonchalance of your comment when you are not a nutritionist nor a doctor. You also don't state your sources and what makes you believe these things about meat. Do you eat meat? Do you find it's hard to digest? I eat meat and don't have any problem digesting it. Or are you following the religious diet of Vegetarianism or Veganism which was invented by the Latter Day Saints to quell sexual pleasures? Ancient man ate meat. I can quote all my sources but UA-cam censors them. I will try to give you 1: K e n B err y, em dee

    • @bensmithreal

      My sources are based on my own experience as a vegan (I don’t promote veganism, but my body preferred that specific diet). I was Veggie for 7/8 year whilst racing as at an elite level of triathlon. My performances had never been better. Also, virtually every great saint & sage of the past has promoted vegetarianism. The expansion in consciousness often directs people that way. As humans evolve, so do their eating habits. This is my view. I’m sure there are plenty of people who’s bodies are better suited to a meat eating diet, but I do think overall, most would benefit from going veggie. I certainly did

      Experiment with yourself is my call
      But not experiment by putting different foods in your mouth, that will surely got you ill
      Start experiment with you yourself on your own awareness.
      Become aware when you yourself craving different foods, and how does that relate to your own moods you've experienced recently
      An example: Yesterday I was told my position in the company is under risk of lay offs, then at lunch time my stomach was hard as rock, refusing any food
      Is that mambo jumbo?
      No, it is the blockage of not knowing what to do next. How to spend energy next.
      These are your own internal feelings and your participation and position in the complicated world we live in. And how we interact in our play.
      Once becoming more and more aware of your own thoughts, you will notice more and more your own cravings for specific food are related to your external relationships with the outside reality.
      All of us have awareness
      That awareness resides in different so called "chakras"
      Of course if you reside in the lowest chakras you will have strong need for meat, you will feel that the meat is the best food for you, so you are correct. If you lit the lower chakras, and persistently dwell, your body will need big amount of certain amino-acids and proteins, which can directly fuel your greedy lower chakras consumption.
      The body has evolved in the millennials by eating different kind of foods including meat.
      It is not wrong to eat meat
      It is wrong to be unaware of yourself arguing that the worlds is different for all of us
      Yes it is different for the blind one
      And it is equal for the aware one
      Work on your awareness
      Nothing is rejected
      All is the play and the happiness to know it all

      Take everything taught as a partial truth, or as a superposition of true and not true - basically, keep an open mind. If you feel you need meat to be healthy, keep eating meat. I started feeling that meat was suddenly hard to digest for me a couple months, did vegan (although risky nutrition-wise) up until a couple days ago. I'm able to eat meat just fine now, so I continued with it because of my own financial restrictions. Do what's right for you. No one should be judging anyone for any diet. At the highest level of awareness, there is an understanding that no one diet is more "ethical" than another lol.
