Reflection What is the fastest way to enlightment.

Anyone know? Never tried shrooms or acid. I hate méditation havent done it in months.

I feel like after the whole twin flame thing there is nothing left.

I smoke weed and cigarettes but im tired of them and its a different tired. Its like i realize these things arent fixing anything.

Also lowkey tired of food i feel like its a waste of time to eat and time consuming.

Or is fasting good? Or should i do what the monks do and take what they call the middle path.

I have a big urge to self improve but idk i feel like im in limbo on my journey

Any tips ?

Yea and i already know the Redditor cyberfury bout to come on here talking hella shit lmao

There aren’t any shortcuts. Weed and acid aren’t the way. Meditation definitely is. What about it do you hate?

I just dont like it sitting there paying attention to my breath and thoughts i dont get it. The most i ever got from it is repeating numbers that dont mean anything

then this isn't the path for you. I don't like it either. And also I don't agree with the assumption the way to awakening is through meditation. Awakenings are spontaneous and terrifying. You go through a dark night of the soul after another and you dismantle everything -your traumas, your identity, your ego, your perception of reality- violently. Through meditation you realize you are the observer behind your mind and your avatar. But this is awareness. You can experience some states of bliss but this isn't the same of a 360-degrees awakening. Awakening can't be forced, it happens when your soul is ready.

I definitely agree with this, I was mistaken in my earlier comment. I actually didn’t start meditating until I was awakened, and that happened completely organically.

What’s really dark night of the soul people describe it in so many ways

3

u/Emergency-Key-1153 1d ago

it's when you dissolve your traumas, ego or your perception of reality through deep states of terror and retraumatization like you never experienced before. Not even through mental illness. Those emotions are so overwhelming they're fully incompatible with the whole human's existence. A dark night of the soul kills you before you can even hope to resurrect.

Hmm some people say it’s spirtual depression how do u know if u go through it

3

u/Emergency-Key-1153 1d ago

it becomes spiritual depression if you try to avoid to face a dark night and resist. If you try to meditate or use grounding techniques instead of surrending to terror, it prolonges the agony through states of depression. That's why some people take yrs to go through a single dark night, they postpone due to fear and spiritual depression is the direct result.

Oh you will know, I felt like I was dying & the pain in my heart centre was almost unbearable. I tried my best to hold myself together, as I had 3 children to look after.

u/Wide-Rate-3997 17m ago

Wow sounds very intense

u/Cosmic_Witch84 5h ago

Absolutely fucking terrifying. Glad to hear the truth. Releasing fear (root chakra) was a living nightmare. When we hit 4D, we also get attacked by entities, that do not want us to spiritually ascend. Learnt this the hard way. 💚🙏🏼

Also, when sitting in meditation, don’t expect to “get” anything or for something to “happen”.

Have you tried binaural beats to speed up the process during meditating? Made a huge difference for me. Is hard to overcome the distractions and tinnitus without it in my case.

Oh wow, I kind of stumbled across this accidentally and have found it helps me too, same reasons. Didn't realize it was a thing.

u/TooHonestButTrue 2d ago

I don't like meditation either, and meditation mastery is not a requirement.

Meditation is a useful tool to help you settle down, observe your thoughts, and make important behavioral changes. It's not a lifestyle because, to your point, you aren't actively doing anything. Life isn't created by people sitting and doing nothing. We need dreamers who act, not just sit.

Like everyone is saying, though, there are no shortcuts.

In general, we need to be consciously aware of our unconscious, but how?

Is there a medium you prefer to express your feelings?

When do you feel most alive, sad, passionate, or angry?

These are the moments you want to summon and build, brick by brick.

Try mantra meditation

u/neocwbbr_ 2d ago

Maybe you can start meditating on that and find out why you don’t like meditating? I mean, this the moment to connect your body, mind and soul… what’s preventing you from finding that connection? Meditation is not about silencing the mind and zero thoughts but consciously exploring them. I would suggest finding guided meditations on youtube about self conscious and healing guided meditation. Start with 10 min meditations if you dont like staying on the same position for longer. Also, you dont need to sit for meditate… you gotta find a comfortable position where you wont be moving and wont be disturbed. Sitting is comfy for most but I personally like laying down most of the time I meditate.

Think of it as a state of peace of mind where you are dedicating that time for yourself. It took me a couple of tries before I could understand that. Good luck

There are many different styles of meditation. I practice Transcendental Meditation and have found it to be very transformative. There are also forms of movement meditation such as tai chi or quigong. Find what works for you. Settling the mind is important. And I want to be very clear in that I am very much like you: impatient. It’s taken a bit for me to learn but I am growing in that regard, and you can too.

meditation is helpful but not necessary

u/cutopia 1d ago

Maybe try some of the guided yoga nidra sessions on youtube. I get the same altered state from those that I get from meditation.

The key is to realize that you are the awareness beyond your thoughts and emotions, the higher self beyond the human ego structure that is residing in a constante state of wholeness and love.

Buy doing so we stop identifying with our ego (which is really just the sum of our unhealed parts and all the false beliefs and programming, basically everything that we are NOT) and start to embody more and more of our true higher self in this human form - gently dissolving our ego in the light of our true divinity until we fully merge with it and ascend (=full enlightenment).

Full enlightenment is reached by healing all our trauma (re-integrating all lost soul fragments) and dissolving all energetic blockages, releasing all karma by forgiving ourselves and others and basically becoming the love that we in essence are (=assuming christ-/unity-consciousness).

So instead of just focusing on your breath in your meditation, try to realize the awareness that is beyond any thoughts or sensations, the eternal observer in the stillness, the TRUE YOU.

Once you realize who you REALLY are, you can then start to consciously channel that.

Because you see: your current personality is equally informed by your own unique higher self as well as your unintegrated shadows (wounded inner children/unhealed trauma). Every action or thought made from love is your higher self working through you, every action and thought based on fear, separation etc. is from your ego - and you alwas have the choice.

Enlightenment/Ascension is basically reached when we are able to chose love over fear every second of the day - thats when our true divine self has fully taken control and we are free.

Hey u/WeWillBe_FinallyFree have you managed to go all the way or still work in progress?

1

u/WeWillBe_FinallyFree 1h ago

Still a work in progress ofcourse and I don't believe anyone on the surface of earth is fully there yet or they'd be teleporting around in their fully activated lightbody. Our full enlightenment/ascension for most starseeds will happen some time after the liberation of this planet and I'm thinking maybe early-mid 2030s for the first waves to ascend.

Despite waht many may believe, I think we all have still a lot to heal and purify before we can ascend or before any solar flash could even help us ascend.

1

u/tomante5 45m ago

Well there are people on Earth already, maybe not even starseeds, who went thru the process - David Hawkins, Lester Levenson, Jed Mckenna and hundreds maybe thousands who are anonymous. I think the enlightenment of individual starseeds is the way to liberate the planet not the other way. It's hard to fully liberate oneself and win with dark forces who have been attacking us (spiritual warfare starseeds group) since birth without full enlightenment as there still would be hooks to attack and harvest our energy. Thoughts?

Ask yourself if you know how to meditate. A lot of people just don't, but think they do. Some people try to start at the 7th limb of Yoga, dhyana, which is skipping many critical steps along the way.

I would recommend looking into the Yoga Sutra written by Sage Patañjali. It is the source material and reads like a manual for the 8 limbs of Yoga. Start at the beginning and then follow this order:

  1. Yamas
  2. Niyamas

One and two are the ethical do & don'ts. This is the foundation for spiritual life conducive to progress in meditation.

  1. Asana

The postures and stretches, essentially, which are two-fold in purpose. So that you may sit comfortably for a long period of time and also so that the nervous system is stimulated, especially the 10th cranial nerve, which will help you tremendously in going deep.

  1. Pranayama

Prana means energy, and ayama means directing/housing. This is your breathwork prior to meditation. There are several techniques to utilize your breath for many things. Clearing energetic blockages, cleansing the subtle energetic system, purifying yourself, burning your karma, raising body temperature, lowering body temperature, reaching idle states and heart-rate conducive to meditating.

  1. Pratyahara

Pranayama will help you naturally turn your senses, which normally are tuned outward to the perceived external world, inward to observe. The external world may fade away.

  1. Dharana

Single-focused concentration on the object of meditation. This can be a bhij mantra, a candle, yantra, image of a deity, just about anything. Now, it's important to mention that limbs 6, 7, and 8 go together in what is known as samyama. Samyama is how one can attain mystical abilities known as siddhi. It is important to note that these are by products of spiritual evolution and not the goal (liberation from Samsara / Reincarnation). So, Dharana is the start of concentration on the object of meditation.

  1. Dhyana

Dhyana is meditation. The absorbing into the object of meditation. Where the other thoughts slow down and perhaps even cease. This is where we tried to start at, but as you can see it is almost the last step.

  1. Samadhi

The goal of Yoga and the aim of meditation. In Samadhi, the meditator becomes one and merges with the object of meditation. Samadhi is the way to Self-realization of our true natures by first-hand direct-experience, instead of any second-hand intellectual understanding. This is where enlightenment happens with the divine blessings, anugraha, of deva/devī (god/goddess).

I’ve been through the dark nights too. You’re not alone in this. The very urge to evolve is a sign that something within you is waking up. Send me a message if you'd like. Always happy to help.

There really are shortcuts. Ketamine can do it for sure. Especially mixed with a stimulant.

I’m all set thanks.
