Personal accounts of brief vs. permanent awakenings

William Roberts3 said:I honestly feel like I'm just caught in this massive flow where everything happens so "easy and effortless," no matter how you look at it 🙂
Whatever life throws my way, it’s always intense and vivid, and I am fully alive right there with it! I'm living life to the fullest—open mind, zero baggage...

They say angels fly because they aren't weighed down by anything...🙂 There's no way they'd catch air if they were heavy.

I'm basically a Human Being flying while walking the earth. 🙂

I really resonate with this right now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29

Man, 😍😍

I was just thinking back to this incredible, heavy, deep experience I had about a year ago.
It's honestly hard to put into words, but here goes:

I was just chilling on my balcony when suddenly this intense, blissful rush hit me. It was like my entire being was overwhelmed by this massive surge of pure euphoria. Everything felt like it was vibrating in perfect harmony... it's hard to even describe.
After a few moments (not sure how long it lasted), this internal dialogue started playing out with all these visual elements.
I felt the Sun City, I was "in" the Sun City, and I felt this connection that goes way beyond just a word. I *was* the Sun City!
Then, a moment later, I became a brilliant ray of light. As that ray, I started drifting away from the blissful Sun City and this unimaginable, infinite vastness, and that's when the conversation between the Sun City and me—the ray—began.

Me as the ray drifting away from the Sun City while seeing countless other bright rays shooting out from it: "Father (=Sun City), I want to be with you!" (feeling this deep sadness about leaving him.) Why would he be a symbolic father 🤷

The Sun City: "Don't be afraid and don't grieve. I am You! (You = the ray). I am the Sun City expressed through your light. And I am all those other rays too—I am the Father and Mother of all rays, all things, and everything.

The ray: But I want to be with you! 🙂

The Sun City: You already are with me, because I am You!
All you have to do is radiate me through that light. Your life is your light, and that life, along with you, is entirely Me. We are One. Every other ray is also Me—the Sun City—expressed through a unique, one-of-a-kind individual life. You just need to live that life, whatever it looks like. Just know that it's Me, the Sun City, which is the same as You. You are the Sun City! You are My expression and manifestation.
You aren't leaving anyone, even if it feels that way. Just realize that it's Me, the Sun City, in the "expressed" form of your ever-changing life.
It's the realization that all rays are just the Sun City in some temporary, "expressed" form.

Did it change my life? Absolutely!
I know now that God—or whatever we call Him—is always with me, creating everything that happens. He "works" and "acts" through my decisions and actions, basically "through me." It’s the same for everyone else and everything else. Even the laws of nature are just the "thoughts" of God.

Just "know" that you are You, Everyone, and the whole Golden State.

So now I’m seeing it—it all happens within "Consciousness." That "Consciousness" is just Me and Everyone else!
By "Consciousness," I mean the realization that I *am* "Consciousness," if I can even find a better way to put it. This impersonal Consciousness perceives itself as "Pure Consciousness," but it also recognizes the part I think is "me"—kind of like my little ego or personal awareness...

All experiences are short-lived because they’re just states popping up within the "Consciousness" inside me 😉 and inside you too!
Krena! Your own experience just surfaced in the "Consciousness" that is your True Self! No experience can actually hurt "Consciousness" because it just shines a light on whatever is happening without changing the core essence. Experiences and moods come and go, but only "Consciousness" stays forever...

Maybe I should go see some eccentric shrink 🤣. Is there anyone here who’s an "expert"? A soul specialist? Or maybe someone who understands the deep dive I'm going through right now. I'm really curious and would love to hear another perspective!
Maybe I’ll try bringing this "vision" to a psych or psychology thread here, provided they don't treat me like some fragile little flower and try to medicate me into submission with pills and that "standard" way of thinking?!

If nothing else, at least now I know I'm dreaming. Before this, I had no clue I was dreaming... 🙂
