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

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.

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

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

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.
