so...when you get thru this...you'll remain as the observer only?

i had an experience of being in that state a year ago...for a brief moment i was only observing my surroundings; no thoughts active; neutral emotional state

i really long for that...the consciousness of my ego is quite self-destructive...being a 4, that is

is this inner peace the basis of your state of mind now?

[TheWeatherMan2012]

Yes, the inner peace is the foundation of my being at this point. That's not to say "negativity" or pain doesn't arise but if it does arises it dissolves quickly.

[cresun]

yeah, that's what i meant...like you have a clean slate to create from, as you're being present in the moment

but if you create a new state from a thought or experience, deliberately or not, do you have greater control of whether you choose to sustain it or let it go, compared to when enclosed within the ego?

[TheWeatherMan2012]

I don't see it as control. I see it as allowing life to unfold without the idea of control. The ego has the belief it's in control but it hardly ever is. The distortion one gets from believing they have control over their life or anything else causes suffering. I intend to be love and peace and let life unfold before me as effortlessly as possible. I notice when I try to control even the smallest details life laughs at me :OP Hope that makes sense.

[cresun]

oh, so you don't really try to create anything deliberately?

i'm just thinking that it probably would be a whole lot easier to deliberate your focus, if there are no distortions present

but yeah, i guess life will unfold something for you as long as you're being exposed to contrast anyway

i'm just trying to understand how it would be for me

[TheWeatherMan2012]

If you are far from "awakening" and really caught in ego it's a good idea to be deliberate and work on becoming aware. Once you are awake/aware at first there feels like a need/conditioning that you need to always do the right thing. Once you're in the flow you see there is no "right" thing. I feel I should promote peace and love and give sincere seekers like yourself info but I see at the same time it's not really necessary. Everything returns to balance eventually ;o)

Thanku so much for this vid... It reassures me that I'll pass this phase. A year to 2 sounds rough though, it's already been 6 mths for me. A bit more darkness to experience and deal with... darkness unravel! I'm def in this phase, thx for helping me confirm that such a phase even exists :)

[XtruhSpecialK]

any one want to suggest anything? meditation?

[XtruhSpecialK]

The 2nd time time I took mushrooms was probably the happiest ive ever been in my life. no ego, completely in the present moment, free from any type of suffering, complete wholeness and contentness, identifying with a larger and unified consiousness, realizing the beauty and perfection of life, and unconditional love for everyone and everything. I just want to get back to that place... ive been researching endlessly on spirituality but it hasnt been any good :( i have too many ties to my ego

[NeSsBiCh]

@TheWeatherMan2012 very true, allow yourself to trust in the universe. no worries no nothing, just life everything comes to you without even trying. once you get to tht point it is the most amazing feeling, eevrything falls in to place , life has many challenges we all challenge eachother, helping eachother to get where we are without noticing until we reach that point.

[dominicanit021]

all i have to say is ECKHART TOLLE thank you for teaching me about 'the ego'

[LynJenAm]

@AllMyCrewsReppinNW "Ditto"....

[elle1010]

it DOES feel like hell."no man's land." exactly.

[AllMyCrewsReppinNW]

you actually described it perfectly. at least that is exactly what happened to me

[WaterBoundShipment]

WOW! I was feeling like this for a long time! I was basically never truly "thinking", just doing things automatically

[bustallovermyface]

@TheWeatherMan2012 this is perfect way to describe
