It should be enough to nurture your own energy through sheer effort and hard work, so that in return, you can fully develop and refine your true self. That's the only way we actually stay grounded...

I mean, Huxley could have written *Brave New World* without any substances—he was just born a Huxley. Similarly, Freud probably would have stumbled upon his theories without whatever he was using, and Marley would have been singing and playing regardless of the smoke, simply because he was Marley. Maybe we should all just try to tap into our own internal systems and focus on our own mental centers to find ourselves, instead of relying on outside help. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole... it just doesn't work...🤣

We can't reach our true power—our actual selves—using something borrowed. Even those mentioned before were just dealing with existing forms; true shifts in consciousness require stepping into something entirely new.
There have been many thinkers and warriors who elevated life through new ways of being. Their achievements are what truly matter, as they facilitate a shift in consciousness for anyone who sees the necessity of that goal.
Power plants aren't meant for weekend tourists; they aren't "recreational" tools.
They often just provide a hollow illusion of progress.
Talking to these power plants isn't inherently evil, but if you approach them without knowledge or proper preparation, they end up consuming you. That foreign power takes hold, giving a false sense of achievement.
Even the ads claiming THC is trying to "enslave us" show that those people haven't understood a thing. They haven't started any new journeys; they just live within old dialogues that keep their energy stuck, patterns humans have known for thousands of years.
A power plant points toward the space beyond dialogue, but it doesn't actually lead you there. Most followers just let it hold their hand, convinced that fanning a flame is the same as moving forward. They are still just following the mechanical rhythms of reality.
The person stays stuck, spinning in circles.
It happens with any habit or addiction.
Without faith in one's own inner strength, a person can't go anywhere.
By stopping the use of any drugs, it is possible to "rise from the ashes."
There is a space beyond the mechanics of reality and linear flows, but a person conquers that only through their own power. How they find it is up to the spirit; even if that comes through smoke, it shouldn't require a permanent symbiosis with cannabis.
Everyone who gets hooked starts feeling proud of their "inclination," thinking they've found a shortcut to enlightenment.
Pride is usually a sign that you're drifting away from the soul.

Lawrence Chase said:Does recreational cannabis use actually mess with your chakras? Like, how does it even work? Does it just slow down the whole journey toward having an out-of-body experience?

It slows down the journey to any meaningful experience, I guess.
The illusion of achieving a "fire" state comes from triggering and burning through your chakras—those energy or fire centers—using borrowed power from cannabis. Whatever you experience, you won't be able to stay there. You probably won't even dream again.
Burnt-out centers mean impaired perception, poor access, and a lack of environmental awareness. The ego becomes its own universe; it grows heavy, like a tank with a sputtering engine.
Someone once said it’s shameful to burn your own internal fires just to inflate the ego. That’s the gist of it.
By the way, the out-of-body experience you're thinking of is extra-physical. Chakras connect all bodies...

Jeffrey Booth51 said:Thank you for being patient with me; I'll definitely take some of those suggestions to heart. It's always a bit easier when someone actually understands what you're talking about and truly feels it...right now, I'm lacking that, and I could really use a little support.
It's difficult for me to untangle my own thoughts at the moment, to discern what's meaningful and what isn't...mostly, I just blurt things out and end up creating even bigger misunderstandings. Sometimes I worry that I'm just making things worse by trying to explain things to people who don't get it...and I never feel great after doing it. I don't want to burden people with things they can't help with, yet a person still needs to be understood.
I'm hoping a solution presents itself; I'll try to keep my eyes open 🙂

I am well aware of that...which is exactly why I'm asking for advice 🙂

"Situations" tend to circle back. If you run away instead of facing the "assignment," it’ll just show up again later in a different package. Everyone has their own specific assignment—a recurring pattern. Just when you think things are finally settled and smooth, suddenly, there it is. Another Situation. A conflict, a fallout, etc. This whole thing you're dealing with right now.
It seems like everyone around you, everyone you team up with, ends up stumbling. They let you down. Maybe you should bypass those expectations entirely. Clear your vision.
..You have to handle your own assignment, your own challenge. That starts the moment you accept exactly where you are.
Maybe even here they'll stumble, and you'll just move to a different PDF.

mistyscout2 said:Hold on a second—so now Peter Phillips32 is being labeled a Hater just because he doesn't buy into all this "supernatural" stuff? Or is it that anyone who stays skeptical about everything they read gets tossed into that category? Man, that's a stretch...

No, if I may observe, he actually suggested the author should just heal herself. Calling him a Hater doesn't quite capture his obsession with being the arbiter of common sense. He might as well suggest brainwashing or a sophisticated pill-based lobotomy just to ensure a world of uniform reality. This hardly qualifies as constructive debate; it’s more like a crude interpretation of reality served up by academic psychologists working for the establishment. Every flicker of light gets swallowed by the dark. It seems to justify his dismissal of someone else's experience—his refusal to accept any reality outside his own narrow view. Before which authorities does he stand, so certain of his own sanity, that he feels entitled—aside from the moderators—to label the author mentally ill?
Whether one believes or not, why bother? If we choose to accept a specific version of the truth, what purpose does it serve? How does it help anyone survive their current situation?
Sobriety, I suppose. It’s about looking at your own circumstances. As for alien abductions—where witnesses describe states of dreaming, a detachment from daily life, memory loss, or hypnosis used as a way to remember—I’m only interested in the lived experience. I care about questioning the direction of one's perspective, not some objective "truth" regarding a hallucination. Where we are, whether awake or dreaming, and what we perceive, is the only reality available to us. In our own time, we are there. We choose to be there. We survive there.
What else is there to do with someone else's experiences besides respect them? Just leave them be.
Don't believe in anything, yet maintain faith. Even I believe I'll succeed, and I believe the author will too. Peter Phillips32, you, and everyone else should just preserve your own little worlds. Forcing a chosen or imposed reality on others isn't helpful. The spirit doesn't bypass anyone.
So, perhaps "PDF spirituality" is a bit backwards. Or maybe I shouldn't go so far and say it's backward in relation to the spirit itself.
Taboo realities are defined, quarantined, and handled with surgical gloves,
dissected like they're a threat to "palatable" reality. They are watched like a President, surrounded by bodyguards, journalists, and watchful eyes. All serving a purpose...
But where is the realization of one's own power in all this?

The topic has been derailed; instead of spirituality, we've opened the doors to a psych ward.
Still, the author courageously values her own experiences with her heart, much to the chagrin of all the rationalists.

Karen Alvarez4 said:Linda Walker37@: I totally get what you're saying. You can't really explain it to someone who hasn't felt it—that feeling that actually gives you the strength to keep going, like proof we aren't just a bunch of meat... and I know exactly what I felt. It was my dad... I don't care if some expert tries to tell me it's just my brain doing things, I know what I felt and how I feel now.

The thing is, we struggle to spot those signs because life moves way too fast, you know? We're always rushing, stressed out, never just *being*... it makes it impossible. But when something like this hits you, you realize nothing else matters except you and your family. Work, money, whatever—it's all noise. You gotta live for the moment. I guess I realized that too late, and there's so much I could've done differently... so many missed chances. But hey, at least I have the memories and the knowledge that he's still there watching over me. I felt him reach out, and honestly? No scientist or shrink in the US is gonna talk me out of it.

Why would you? I hope you don't let anyone convince you otherwise when you face a reality that isn't even on their official list. Nobody has the right to judge, dismiss, or validate your raw experience using their version of "expert" or "legal" reality.
It's funny how much nonsense people invent just to fit into a predictable, linear world. People seek refuge in logic, but they often just end up drowning in their own systems, trying to irrigate what they call "common sense."
Reality isn't reducible. What you observe is something no one else can truly perceive but you.
There is so little respect for one's own consciousness from those who try to steer others away from their own experiences. This obsession with learning a single "truth" has turned humanity into robots who are afraid to claim their own reality or experiences, opting instead for "sanctioned" versions of existence.
They love to preach about the supremacy of mechanics over consciousness, all while claiming to act in the interest of consciousness itself. Common sense is just a tool used to flip things upside down and plunge them headfirst into the mud.
If they won't even acknowledge their own experiences, what's left to ground them?
Here's yet another incomprehensible post about methods of darkness.
Don't let yourself be crushed. Affection builds magnificent bridges; you've seen that. The darkness tries to shove that into the mechanical reality of a human-like robot, because that's what it wants us to be.
Sure, mental obsession exists, and "human robots" exist, but they never stand behind their own experiences. They are always hiding behind or ahead of common sense.
All my similar experiences—those that break the boundaries of worlds—are irreplaceable guides in this search.
Words couldn't guide any more strongly, provide more tension, or offer more beauty.
Let every insight from an event that falls outside of "prescribed reality" simply be.
Yes, we aren't just physical beings; we have experiences and layers... and not just those layers.

wearyowl29 said:That is a lovely name... but if we follow that logic, does that mean we also have religions for people who are kneeling or crawling on the ground? lol😂

Before the broken ones. People are constantly searching for something they already possess. They want help. Some kind of external power to rescue them, even though they’ve had enough strength inside them since birth to succeed. They have everything they need to grow that power—the ability to truly perceive life and its defenses. To align their will with existence, to see it clearly, and to direct their focus accordingly. I guess.
They look for what they already possess. It’s quite the paradox, I suppose.
Can a river plead for help from its own source? I suppose the power of that source resides within the river itself—in every single drop.
Does anything in nature actually beg? Or maybe every living thing just tries to survive by leaning on its own internal strength.
A man forgets his own inner power because he’s stuck in a reality where power is nothing more than a negotiation. It’s an obstacle to the will, I guess. Our focus gets forcibly redirected, and so does our willpower. We just end up steering ourselves toward whatever is right in front of us, essentially bargaining with reality itself.
Until a person truly believes in their own power, nothing they possess actually matters—not even the ground beneath their feet or the fire they work so hard to keep burning. I guess.
Until they stand up—maybe from a kneeling position, or certainly from a cyclist's crouch.

wearyowl29 Asks:
It matters little what is written on a screen or in a post; what truly counts is the goal we strive for and the purpose we were born to fulfill.

Of course, it matters given the context of the opening post and how the topic was framed.

If you don't actually care about the subject matter, then there's really no reason to start threads regarding different perspectives or monotheistic religions.

The three major monotheistic faiths all attempt to explain the world and our place within it through their specific understanding of God.

The core issue here is the patterns we use to erode self-awareness. Those structures embedded within religious communities inevitably shape our capacity for self-reflection in the secular world, too.
I wonder if people today are actually awake enough to recognize their own nature—to see themselves as conscious beings, as creators.
If they aren't, I guess it's high time they woke up.
We are creative beings; we possess the power to rebuild a new world at any given moment.
The idea of reality being "it is what it is" doesn't really exist.
There is only the reality we sustain with our own energy. If we focus solely on humanity as subjects of servitude, our energy flows that way, and that version of humanity becomes our truth. Perhaps we should try directing our gaze toward humanity as creators instead?

wearyowl29 said:The notion that we aren't just slaves, children, or some other submissive role playing against transcendence—but rather co-creators of this world alongside God—is actually quite an old concept. It’s a core pillar within the framework of one very specific "monotheistic" religion.😉

I can't help but wonder if any of you know which one...😁

I know of one religion claimed to be the source of all others, called the religion of upright people. Sounds lovely, I guess.

We are creative creatures, I suppose. We always have to see things differently. Why can't anyone just stay within the lines?

We create what we intend to, driven by our goals. Eventually, we encounter a moment that brings an entirely new world with it. We focus our attention there, following the shift and directing our will and energy toward the new.
Humans are active beings, I suppose. We have this capacity to adapt and actually drive the changes we call life. It’s about creativity—rising above mere matter, which is just an inert, decaying thing that wants to fall apart. It’s about refining form as life demands. Maybe that happens when we finally recognize and follow our own will.
It’s dark, basically. It just makes recognition harder. I suppose religions ought to protect the light by any means necessary.
Religious teachings ought to point a person toward their own inner strength and that capacity for faith—the kind of belief that actually drives success. Maybe it’s about the inherent will within us that constantly recreates life itself. It should be about conquering death and finding ultimate freedom. Rituals are meant to quiet the chatter of the mind. I guess the mindless babble of a child or a servant is just noise that needs to be silenced.
I suppose if religious founders used terms like "slaves" or "children," it might stifle creativity. What really kills it, though, is when leaders view the public as mere subjects to be manipulated for their own gain. We tend to accept these power dynamics as normal, even within our own families.
If you are truly a servant to God, I guess you might finally be free from all other forms of bondage—mentally and emotionally. Maybe that’s how it works.
I suppose both labor and childhood might serve as catalysts for meditation, self-awareness, and perhaps even a more seamless activation of one's own will. Maybe.
A believer is someone who finds liberation, not necessarily religion. I guess. Maybe.
She answers for her own choices, acting both like a servant and a child. I suppose no position can shield someone from their own inner will. We either hinder her or set her free, depending on our whim. Life works much the same way, I guess.

Do we actually respect our own time—and our children's—or are we just slaves to a father's will? I guess it comes down to whether we value life or... something else entirely.

casualeagle82 said:You guys talk about spirituality like it’s some trendy fad you pick up over a weekend—one day we’re all Zen, the next we’re heading to a Lakers game.
Spirituality—since it's such a vague concept anyway—isn't something you achieve by trying. You live it. It’s easy to just sit here and churn out endless sentences like Larry Wilson5 and Gregory Jackson do, acting like the rest of us should think you're somehow enlightened.

But honestly, the whole "guru" thing? Ridiculous. This guy’s been "spiritual" for 20 years? A "powerful figure"? What does that even mean? Did he play Lines? Who is he going to be a guru to? Does someone need to tell you when you're actually satisfied with your life or not? Is a guru just a coach? And that "powerful figure" bit... please.

Spirituality, however you want to label it, is just how you see the world and interact with it. We’re all spiritual in our own way, and no guru is ever going to teach you that. For me, fulfillment comes during the rough patches. When things go sideways, I don't sit around crying; I head out for a long run outside the city limits until I've worked every bit of tension out of my system. My head clears, the world's problems vanish for a few hours, and those moments define who I am. I didn't "develop" that, and some "FRAUDULENT GURU" didn't lecture me on how to do it. It’s just part of being me. It’s part of our nature. You don't learn it; you just are.

You can neglect the tools you have until they rust, or you can actually use them.
Tools provide access to anything, including the spirit. The spirit alone is spiritual; a human simply possesses the tools to reach it. That is the point. Whether video games ruin spirituality or human potential—or those tools—is a nonsense debate, because people try to find danger in something that isn't any different from any other activity. One person runs while another plays a game—what's the difference? If we have chosen a path, it is wisdom if it helps us; if not, then we’ve ignored wisdom somewhere along the line.
There are gurus everywhere, like the ones who suggest the path to happiness involves buying a Coke. If you can recognize and avoid the gurus around you, and understand your own tools for survival—even while playing games—then stories about the spirit won't confuse you. You'll be able to follow them and recognize the spirit.
A spiritual person is one who recognizes the workings of the spirit. The spirit remains the spirit, and the human remains a human.
An impersonal perspective can awaken anything, so why not master the game? If we don't recognize it, we might end up in a cave at the top of the Appalachian Mountains, leaving our spiritual tools completely unused.

Gregory Jackson said:So, yeah, that’s just my way of paraphrasing the general vibe of it. But, man, I see people just don't get it, so let me try explaining again: the quality of your consciousness—which is, I mean, a pretty undeniable sign of someone's personal growth—doesn't actually depend on specific actions or things you're doing in the moment. Most of the time, we're just unconscious, or we aren't really "there," just kind of running like machines following some pre-set program. And when we're in that state, we end up creating all this psychological mess, tension, and pain for ourselves. If you can actually maintain awareness—that state of expanded consciousness where your thoughts, mechanisms, or reactions don't cloud what's actually happening—then you can do that in any situation. Just... I don't know, try playing a video game for four days straight without stopping, or try working at full capacity with total awareness for that long. It's a brutal spiritual challenge. And just so I don't have to deal with anyone else misunderstanding me: honestly, staying conscious for even fifteen solid minutes is a huge feat, let alone trying to do it for four days while doing anything at all.

That challenge might help overcome egoism, which I suppose would free up access to consciousness. Though, for feats like that, one really needs to be driven by their own intention, rather than someone else's idea that we've simply adopted. Otherwise, an ego-driven person chasing a "sounds good" achievement—like trying to "become enlightened"—might just end up anxious and uncentered, worrying about whatever advice they get from psychiatrists in New York.
Games can help improve focus and quiet the internal dialogue. Just like any other activity, I guess. It all depends on our approach and our ability to observe our own actions in any given situation.
We examine desirable and undesirable things in the exact same way. That’s really the whole story. That guru simply used games as a tool—whether he felt passionate about them or not, his position regarding the approach to consciousness remains the same, whether he recognizes it or not. Anywhere.

Mark Sullivan64 said:It’s been a minute since I’ve had to wade through this much pure nonsense... so, uh, let's take it one step at a time.

There’s really nothing wrong with gaming—it shouldn't have any negative impact on your spiritual life at all. Honestly, the only thing it might mess with is your social life. That’s why you’ve got to set some boundaries for yourself—deciding exactly how much you play and when you call it a night. I don't see any reason why you should stop... if anything, gaming can actually be a good thing. Now, I’m not talking about World of Warcraft or stuff like that—mostly just MMORPGs—because those games don't really try to push some deep message on you, though they can definitely suck you into the virtual world so hard that your actual life ends up feeling totally AFK. Pathetic. 😢
Honestly, you get games these days where the storytelling actually holds its own against some of the best novels out there—we're talking deep, layered characters that you genuinely find yourself relating to. It’s pretty wild when you think about it.

🙏
Then there’s Black & White—a game where you basically step into the shoes of a god. You can pretty much do whatever you want.

Your post is... simply... 🤣
First off, she's a kid... obviously kids find that stuff funny. Second, when I trip and fall, I laugh at myself too, and it's totally normal for people to laugh at you. Good grief, it's not like I'm going to burst into tears just because I stumbled. On the other hand, if it’s actually serious, any normal person is going to help you up.
I agree that today's TV programming is way more messed up, but cartoons!? 😂
Yeah, sure, kids are definitely going to see a cartoon character flying, jumping, and smashing things and want to try doing the same when they grow up. Get real... ☕
What really ruins minds—and not just kids'—are reality shows like Big Brother and everything else spinning on MTV. What is there to learn from that? That you can sit in a house for a year doing absolutely nothing but acting like an idiot and get paid? Great. Then there's all that nonsense you see on American TV... where you see groups of young people looking for love based on how someone's bedroom looks, or dating someone's parents first, etc. It's a disaster. And then there are those various shows about local celebrities, where they show us uneducated, rude snobs who somehow stumbled into wealth, and then they actually glorify them (like some billionaire mogul in a penthouse). You could go on forever...
In any case, violence is picked up from your surroundings (family, school, the streets), not from cartoons or video games. Me and plenty of people I know grew up watching "violent" cartoons and playing "violent" games, and none of us ever thought about taking it out on anyone... Kids are much more likely to pick up something negative from the commercialized, aggressive rap songs they idolize.

That's like saying a professional athlete has no control over their life, so they try to compensate through sports by trying to be dominant and playing only to win. Total nonsense...
If we're talking about competitive games with actual tournaments, then yeah, the goal is to win and grab the prize money. And, of course, to have fun.
If we aren't talking about competitive games, then please explain to me what you mean by that phrase—"playing just to win."

Is it possible to play not for the win, but for the sake of the game itself?
Maybe the mindset we bring to games matters more.
Purely seeking entertainment—where you accept the challenge only as long as it stays "fun"—usually leads to a shallow approach. It doesn't actually feel fun for long; eventually, you get bored and move on to the next thing in an endless cycle.
The decision to navigate a game spontaneously comes from playing for the sake of the game. You find yourself needing to master the situation, survive, and recognize what's tripping you up—like a lack of focus, slow reactions, or being misled by expectations. It feels effortless; you're just present in the moment, syncing your perspective with the flow. That’s how kids play—without ego or pretension, just for the game. Then people wonder why they're so naturally skilled. For children, this approach is spontaneous, until it's disrupted by things that pull them away—things centered on feeding the ego. So, I suppose even games can be a space where we exercise our mental faculties.
It’s like anything else. Ironing, driving a Formula 1 car, making sausages, solving math problems, or just chatting with a neighbor.
I guess respecting those mental tools is the only way to truly engage the spirit.
Do we recognize and respect them within ourselves and others in every situation? (Perhaps children seek that space in games because it's been taken from them elsewhere?) Or do we try to fight that natural approach through sheer negation, searching for a Black & White world...

Games or anything else are essentially the same when it comes to spirituality. It’s about the player—how they act and how they reflect on those actions—rather than the medium itself. At least, until the world starts feeling like one giant simulation. Then we can all just wait for the game over screen.
Detailed analyses of specific games could easily fill up entire threads, I suppose. But my first question is always why almost every kid—and honestly, plenty of adults too—is so drawn to games where you get to run around armed and ready to take down opponents.

It’s tough; I guess Ivica would just dodge all the responsibility and head off on vacation to get away from the world he built.

It seems you're reading from the end. I suppose rushing to find the answer might just ruin the whole beauty of the story.

neonscout5 said:The only thing we can actually control is our own consciousness. If my shift, or yours, or theirs happens to trigger a quantum leap in everyone else's awareness—well, that's just a bonus.

There's an energetic truth here: there is no "other." We're talking about a level of consciousness that exists entirely beyond gender.

Right now, we see a diversity of different flames, but that’s only until they all merge into one singular, massive fire.

And now... they're talking too fast again.
You're surrounded by infinity, nothing but infinity.
Once those flames become one single fire, everything will return to where it started.
I guess the rule of the first monkey is somewhat relevant here.
Every shift in an individual's perspective ripples out to everyone nearby; you don't even need tools to make it happen.
So, I suppose we approach social change one person at a time.
You shouldn't have to hide your vision. That's really all there is to it.

The male world, shaped by social constructs, feels sterile and lacks any semblance of spirituality.
A woman, even when pushed by those same societal norms, can easily discern her purpose and who she should serve. She just needs to nurture and protect her own sphere.

neonscout5 said:Which part of this actually pertains to the quoted post? If you want, feel free to move your reply over to the suggested thread.

I suppose I was trying to pivot toward a topic more challenging than just listing books. As for love, there’s a bit about that on another thread.
Maybe we shouldn't fear being different; the kind of uniqueness I'm talking about doesn't threaten anyone's faith, convictions, or ego.
Uniqueness is really just a way of approaching knowledge, perception, wisdom, and creation.
Otherwise, everyone would be identical and stuck in a single collective consciousness. It's the variety of approaches that builds those endless moments.
Diversity in creation leads to diversity in experience.
The way energy is configured demands play, exchange, dualities—two poles, two natures, the sun and the moon. One consciousness, yet many flames reflecting that diversity.

neonscout5 said:What’s your personal take, looking at this through the lens of being a man or a woman?

To be just one gender is to be half of a whole; true wholeness only happens when both halves are fully awakened.

An eagle doesn't just let go of its energetic halves—it gathers their experiences and brings them back home. It only lets go of unconditional love. The whole point of living in this material world is precisely that opportunity to experience unconditional love firsthand.

So why cling so hard to being "unique"?

Nihilism lacks intention.

I actually find this kind of exchange refreshing. There has to be a reason people get so sucked into it. This online forum style of dialogue is such a perfect tool for searching. Without face-to-face contact, we're freed from a lot of social posturing and mental math, allowing pure consciousness to flow straight through the keyboard. It's honestly fascinating how quickly people—stripped of visual cues and tone—dive into deep discussions. Self-reflection surfaces much faster here, even among those who think they're more spiritually enlightened than the folks just debating where to grab dinner tonight.

Every time the heart leads, it moves toward shedding the ego; any other path isn't the way of the heart. Resolving the ego and moving past the human form happens within the physical body. DJ and his entire circle taught their successors exactly how to navigate that state of consciousness. You know this yourself, yet you still keep chasing after these types who have shed their material reflections only to end up so detached they can barely function in the real world. Why bother? Keep searching.

It speaks to a certain haste in the desire for achievement. Specifically, those who failed because they couldn't find a concrete goal. It is the abstract that leads to and liberates the concrete. The practical. That concrete reality is the reason for the morbidity surrounding us.
We can't define the spirit. The spirit recognizes abstract aspiration. An abstract goal is what drives change and liberation.
Personal correspondence has no place in this thread.
And the topic itself won't tolerate this kind of discussion. A man acts like someone who holds a fixed stance.
He is forced into it.
Are we really going to discuss everything on a thread meant to re-examine DH knowledge?

Illusions fade once we are guided by intention, which requires our actualization.
I stated clearly that it is up to both men and women to achieve their totality—to recognize and bypass the agreements that bind them. That process has its own demands. There isn't a specific form one must follow, just an aspiration.

Self-importance and self-reflection are dismantled through practice, including everyday situations, which lead us out of that negative perspective. It reveals a passage, offering a view in a new direction, beyond the wall. We aren't tearing anything down. We are bypassing it; that is the only way.
Not by forcing our own thoughts.
Consciousness is what effects change when we feed it perception. The ego is merely an observer, a passenger in the material world.
Everyone has their own story; intention prepares the space for their lessons.
Everything we learn is learned the hard way, much like how society as a whole struggles through its collective burdens.
The individual is forced into independent development, because that is the only way to truly contribute to life.
And people judging someone else's beauty aren't even close to achieving their own totality, since they are still judging themselves. A woman isn't a Vogue cover model. And a man who falls in love with covers probably can't even talk about himself, let alone a woman. Tell him he has a feminine nature, and he'll likely just think of transvestites.
Just some thoughts on a few posts, including the opening one.

neonscout5 said:The DJ's take on the feminine universe and how rare masculine energy has become within it—that really speaks to where modern human consciousness sits today. People have been conditioned to believe men possess this specific, heavier energetic flavor. To be clear, women in this world carry that same masculine energy too; it's just not their dominant trait. It's softer, more in tune with most beings in the universe. The "man" we see is largely a byproduct of a civilization dictated by the mind of a pilot.

Once someone sheds their human persona and lets go of the ego, they stop being subject to these "gendered" energies altogether. Their energetic shell becomes inedible—it stops serving as food. Honestly, escaping the chicken coop is one of the best things that can happen to us.

When we finally silence that inner monologue and address the original question—to truly experience another human being directly—we end up feeling only ourselves and nothing else.

The material world is both there and not there. Even looking at male and female skeletons right here in the States, you wouldn't see the differences you're talking about.

You should try finding a film by Pal Nalina-Samsar. He captures the masculine and feminine dynamics of this civilization in a very beautiful, Zen-like way.

You might want to consider the womb. It’s the reason you’re able to write this right now.
Nihilism isn't enlightenment.
I suppose I'll ponder why you're so intent on ignoring higher insights while failing to ignore yourself, but here is another attempt—don't take it personally:
My description was simply our daily reality, which evades rational interpretation of what constitutes a man or a woman. We contain both natures, and that is simply how it is written.
Perspective begins at the moment of who we are, though it feels like we are all still heavily negotiating with matter.

Realized consciousness is just consciousness; it isn't male or female.

Physicality dictates how one approaches knowledge while navigating their own realization (as does any physicality).
For now, for both men and women, the task is to awaken the totality of nature and bypass the endless dialogues.
If someone possesses power, they could immediately execute their full evolution within matter. Or, they could awaken their energy, surrender it to the heart, and move toward total freedom via DH. Or, they could follow the path many before us have taken: through the heart, which is the only thing capable of listening to distant worlds.

There are things we realize, things we sense, and things we've merely heard about.
What we realize always takes priority for those of us doing the realizing.
So, whether it's a Zen master, DH, or any of humanity's teachers, they can offer guidance, but they can't pull you along.
Illusion is as real as anything else. Everyone perceives something. Physicality is very real as long as we depend on it and while it provides an opportunity for work. It is the realization of light in a world built on love.

Many magicians succeeded in reflecting off matter while remaining incorporeal. Even if they were still tied to the earth and its paths, they couldn't even be swayed by matter. It's an enviable position, I guess. Everything has its timing.

What I perceive is the necessity for a woman to recognize and protect her own world. She shouldn't swap hers for a man's.
Perhaps both could possess a consciousness that spans far beyond the capacity of the mind—our current receiver—but that totality remains the goal. People call that evolution.

One kind of freedom at a time, or everything at once.
If you are capable of stepping into full realization this very instant—if you know that infinity surrounds you at every moment—then just go. Let your power lead you wherever it wants.
Most people don't need to do anything more than walk forward, guided by their own power and an intention that tells a story meant only for them.
I suppose everyone should have the right to identify as either a man or a woman. As long as one doesn't fully commit to that identity, I guess everything remains valid.

The Bringer of Death seems quite eager to swap his male structure for a female one, even though a male sex is a rarity in the cosmos. Without such a structure, one wouldn't be able to interact with their surroundings at all, I suppose.

As for structure, we are merely virtuous projections of consciousness. Physicists are uncovering things about particles and their probabilities, while others look at entropy, but they'll likely wait before applying any of that to define consciousness. Even so, none of those facts will help us evade the demands consciousness places upon us.
