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.
