One of the most profound, enlightening things I have ever read. A good friend shared this with me today. I would imagine that this is what true Enlightenment is. This gave me incredible chills.

Silent Lucidity
Have been listening to this song for decades. Never realized the spiritual undertones of this song until now. The lyrics move me to tears every time I hear it now because I can relate to it. It's about spiritual awakening and lucid dreaming. I've been lucid dreaming and going out of body now and going out of body is all about letting go and allowing your fear to be there.
The earth realm being a 'place where you learn to face your fears'. Re-incarnation in 'retrace the years'. "Relax child, you were there, but only didn't realize"-means we all come from the same 'place' of Love, but we all forget when we incarnate here. The singer is taking the position of a spirit guide, guiding someone. I'm learning to face my fears and it's so painful for me, but I realize it's a gift to come here and heal and learn about myself.
Queensryche-Silent Lucidity.
"There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But, only didn't realize, and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
to face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of the mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension"
Love to all

Everything is always OK
I've felt lost lately. I've had sleep anxiety. There's just been a lot of confusion in my life over the past couple of weeks energetically which has reached its peak today, with no cause at all seemingly and yet many causes seemingly. I've been trying and trying and trying to find my way home and out of this internal struggle in my mind and the more I try, the more lost I am inside of my mind. The deeper into despair and anxiety I feel. Where am I going? What am I doing here? How am I going to heal this? How can everything be ok when I feel this way? Which is the right path? There are too many options to choose from. How will I get by? I've been trying so hard to connect with my higher self that I forgot that....in the trying and trying and trying to find the answers and connect to the higher ME, I've been actually counterproductive to what I truly am because the more you try, the more you resist the Eternal Now. Accepting my feelings of despair, confusion and being lost and allowing them to be as they are tonight, has allowed me to find love and peace now in these transient energy forms of feelings and emotions. I still feel sad and lonely tonight as a result of my anxiety of late, but it's ok that I do now which has such a different context than adding that additional layer of 'why, why why'.
My feelings have dictated to me that something has been off in my life for a while now and I've taken notice to that and become aware that something has not felt right, but have not been able to accept those feelings because I've been looking within my mind for answers to them and when you do that, you go further and further down the rabbit hole. The mind can be an incredibly effective tool. Yet, sometimes, it's so much easier to simply sit back, relax and accept the present moment as it is. Meaning, no matter how you feel and no matter how difficult life seems, no matter what emotions arise, no matter what physical sensations arise, you are not merely that. You are the Eternal Now, the higher Self, all the Selves in which all of this arises and while the story that I believe myself to be can be harmed and can be hurt and can make me break down, that which I truly am (Now) can never be harmed because I am not the story of my mind.
All is always OK, until I believe that it is not. And I'll be lost again at some point, but just like meditation, you bring yourself back to the present moment.
With Love always

I AM....that....I AM
I had a wave of insight today that came through and I know this will sound similar to my older posts, but I need to write this down before I lose it. Writing in my blog is a form of channeling from my higher self at certain points, when I receive waves of insight in connecting with my higher self. Caffeine helps too I find. I don't know why.
I AM.....is all there is. Therefore, what am I? I AM.....that I AM. There is much to illuminate in physical reality. Yet, what is unknown from this perspective of Being, is merely just that....unknown. Unknown does not mean non-existent. Illuminating the unknown is how our experience works in physicality. Through this physical body/mind, there is no experiential knowledge of an ant crawling outside. Therefore, that ant, is unknown to this vehicle of Being. That ant is utter darkness as per the perspective of this body/mind. When this body/mind illuminates that ant, that ant is now known, to this very body/mind!
Therefore, experience works this way. I AM is ultimately God and all that is. Everything is God. Everything is I AM already from the higher, higher perspective of Being. A grain of sand is already I AM, because it merely just IS. However, experience, is I AM knowing itself, learning about itself, and growing and evolving, through each different unique vehicle. Again, ultimately, all is already known by I AM, because each aspect of reality makes up the entire whole from the highest perspective possible. However, each individual, unique exploratory vehicle can only know one thing at a time. So, even though, all is already known as I AM, from the greatest perspective, what we are doing here is, I AM experientially gaining that knowing through our own experience, through the experience of a tree, an ant, a rock, a grain of salt. There is no past and future. The eternal now is I AM. The eternal now is I AM as all of reality exists in all dimensions simultaneously. Separation, is the opportunity to experientially know each piece through this dimension of time and space (which ultimately, is not real from the greater perspective).
What does this gain you might ask?
The opportunity to explore creatively for this individual, yet NOT separate aspect of I AM, offers itself to know itself experientially and understand its true nature as the One and only unconditional loving I AM through each aspect of itself.
How can this not blow your mind at how incredible we are as our true nature as Love?
Just watched the 'Ten Commandments' the other night on ABC, and in every major religion, I AM, that I AM, is the reference to God itself.
There is only I AM. We are all......I AM.

Solipsism vs. Non-Duality
Ok, it's time to talk about it. I had this discussion tonight with some people I'm friendly with on a spiritual internet forum which I am a regular. It's come to my attention that there are a vast number of people who are misinterpreting their own experience as 'enlightenment' when in reality, they are merely experiencing solipsism which is an incredibly dangerous path to enter. Let me explain.
Take your experience right now. Take your pointer finger and point it back towards you. Now, turn your attention 360 degrees back on to yourself and try to find yourself. Where are you? Who are you? What do you experience? What happens? Can you find yourself? When I do this, I only find existence itself. I am THAT as the book titled by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. I am not merely a person, but I am Awareness itself. I am 'All That Is'. Try the exercise.
So, in my experience of non-duality, there is no separation between any of the objects in my experience, because they are all objects appearing within consciousness, and how are my experiencing those objects? Through my human sense perception. There is only Consciousness itself and nothing else. The only experience I can possibly say of the universe, through this human vehicle, is through my human sense perception. There is no experience of any world, outside of my human perception. However, the problem arises when we claim that there is no world, period, outside of our human perception. This is far different than claiming that there is no experience of any universe. This is popular in western philosophy and Direct Path teachings. They take the direct experience of our human perception and label it as 'all there is', not realizing that human sense perception is incredibly limited. It's delusion and insanity.
Before we go further, let's stop and think for a second. If energy is the substance of the universe, then everything is energy from the smallest level of subatomic particles to the largest objects in planets and the universe itself. Therefore, everything within the universe can be said to be 'conscious' on some level because energy is expressing itself through/as every possible avenue of physical and non physical existence. Ultimately, from the grand perspective of life, there is only unconditional love, because everything on every level merely is allowed to Be it's own unique expression as it is. The expression through a human vehicle is of no more value to Source as the expression through a bacterium. Yet, the experience of a tree of course differs than the experience of a human being, while the experience of a cell or a bacterium differs from that of a dog. But, regardless, they are all conscious. So, if you consider that everything is energy, then in reality, there really is no external objective world because, what we call the universe is merely comprised of gazillions and gazillions and gazillions of co-creative perspectives of every living and non living thing. The entire universe is a co-creation of conscious energy, perceiving itself in various forms. It's only our narcissistic belief that human consciousness is the only avenue of expression. Basically, the center of the universe is anywhere and everywhere, because everywhere and anywhere, is always the center of existence since everything is connected to the same One Source that you and I are. When a tree falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Of course! The trees, the particles that make up the trees, the ground, the wind, the sky are all there to experience it.
So, back to the topic at hand. Going back to your direct experience. There is no separation between anything in my direct experience. It's just one seamless whole Conscious experience. There is merely Being itself. It is only our thoughts that separate each object into distinct separate Beings, because we take the viewpoint of the body/mind vehicle in time/space. However, that is an illusion because reality is merely whole and complete prior to our minds stepping in and dividing reality up into separate parts. Yet, with that said, just because everything is one conscious experience, does not mean that the objects that appear within this conscious experience are not also experiencing. Granted, they are experiencing within the same consciousness that I am experiencing.
Think of it like a chessboard. Consciousness is the chessboard and each piece is a different expression within the same one chessboard. A pawn is a different unique experience than that of a King and a Queen is a different unique experience than that of a bishop. (I love chess, if you haven't noticed already).
So, it's the same in reality, in my direct experience, there is Being itself. Being, expressing itself through this human vehicle, while Being also expressing itself through the particles in the laptop I am typing on and Being expressing itself through the plants outside and the trees and the water. Being=Energy.
The solipsism crowd, does not take into account the experience of anything other than this very human expression. Therefore, they believe that a tree itself, only exists as human sense perception as do any and all other objects. Therefore, they claim that nothing actually exists because all of what we call 'objects' are really just made up of our sense perception. Of course, they don't realize that they are invalidating the very experience of a tree or a bird or anything by claiming it as an anthropomorphic human sense perception. They figure, if it's not in our direct human perception, it can't be said to exist. Again, it's delusion and insanity. Many of these people use this nihilistic insane path as a means of escaping their own unhappy realities. Yet, ironically, some claim it as enlightenment.
I hope I've explained the difference between solipsism and non-duality in my own interpretation.

Dating
I thought I'd write a blog post on this as I read an interesting article today from the worst website on the planet (elite daily). Ok, ok, not the worst website in reality, but they usually have stuff pertaining to 'how to please your man', and 'what I need to do with my life to be happy' etc. Yeah, ok, well maybe I can learn a few tips on pleasing my man...but, what's your point?
Anyway, the article was about a guy who stopped dating because he was fed up with the dating scene. The one part of the article I resonated with, was his perception of dating as 'a game'. It doesn't have to be, but it can be perceived that way in the modern urban dating culture. I understand his perception of it because I've been there too in the past when I was younger. You can start to become bitter when it seems like you can never win in the dating game. However, when I finally stopped 'dating' in the traditional sense, I started meeting and relating to people in a whole different context.
Dating used to seem like a game to me, that I often attained the prize and other times did not. I realized that dating was not merely just a game in my perception of it, but merely a form of manipulation of trying to get people to like each other, by putting on an act early on in the dating process to hide who we truly are. I couldn't possibly allow her to see my vulnerabilities early on. Much of what I've seen from not only my own experiences, but others as well is this:
Gee, I hope I don't fuck this up. Ok, I have to make sure I pay for her at the end of the date or she'll think I'm cheap. Should I kiss him at the end of the first date or not? How long should I wait to call her?.Basically, every choice built around...fear. Another game of the Ego. Fear is what dictates much of the dating culture today. Finally, I realized that I no longer cared about what the modern dating culture had to offer, in the traditional sense, because it no longer served me, where I was in my life. It seemed antiquated and built off of that low vibration of fear. Much of modern day dating is indeed, an incredibly low vibration centered around fear I've realized. We've stopped focusing on relating and instead gotten so caught up with how we will be perceived by each other. I stopped doing it and started meeting wonderful people I aligned more with including the girl I previously went out with and also people who also viewed relationships from the perspective that I did. People who were not afraid of Being who they truly are on a first meeting. Which means throwing all dating rules out the window. Stop worrying about how they perceive you and start noticing how you relate to these other people.....from love? or from fear?
My point is that, dating is still going to be dating, especially in large urban areas where you find much of the 'sex and the city' type of dating game dogma. But, that's not the only option of finding a companion. You don't have to go around being bitter and angry and complaining that women/men all suck and that you'll never meet anyone. You don't have to believe in the hype that the media incessantly throws our way. It's not true. It's only true for you, in your own limited perception of what dating is because you're conditioned to believe that meeting people can only happen if I date in the traditional sense of dating rules. If you believe that all women will only go out with you if you adhere to a strict set of dating rules, then that will be true for you and likely, you will only attract a certain type of person. Like attracts like. Your deepest beliefs will manifest most certainly in every experience of yours. Open yourself up to a larger perspective on life, a larger pool of people from all walks of life, a perspective built around love and what relating actually means from a deep, deep sense of self, and you'll start to realize that there is an incredible world of wonderfully amazing women/men out there that you never realized existed because you were so caught up in the dating game.
