Hi Frank. Looks like it's just you n me, buddy. :o) How are you? Have you experienced self-realization?

[FrankCastilla]

@TadRapidly Hi friend. I have am very lucky, and thank you for asking. I have only bared witness to glimpses, I feel far from sustaining the perfect practice (as it's called in Adidam). And you, is your process yielding good things?

[TadRapidly]

@FrankCastilla yes, lucky. I'll say. i'm glad you are well. Awakiening/ Self-realization occured in late 2006 without any seeking on my part so the seeker's dilemma is one I am extremely empathetic to. So "process" is sort of off the table for me now; there is only...........(no words). :o)

@TadRapidly You have had self-realization since 2006? If you are referring to the same realization Adi Da speaks of, I can tell you that there are only two Adidam devotees who have ever successfully sustained that disposition.

[TadRapidly]

@FrankCastilla self-realization isn't a sustained state--it is an episodic event of realizing your true, invulnerable God-nature, also known as Kensho. What one does with one's time after that episode is one's own decision. One can simply sit down and begin meditating and never stop or one can begin living again in the waking world. I have chosen the latter. The Witnessing Presence is all there is for me now. Does that witness see occasional egoic episodes happen here? Of course it does! :o)
