It's always before and after...

We exist across multiple dimensions and lose a body in this 3D material realm. Death is passage into an existence beyond your wildest dreams, and it's nothing to do with religion.

Death here, may or may not have an effect on our existence in other realms.

I do believe death is nothing to be scared of, but... it’s the dying part that is really tough…

However, we DO continue our existence, but maybe in another form.

I imagine everyone has a different 'afterlife'. Just like all of us have different lives, we'll probably have different afterlives as well.

If you feel peace with God, it brings comfort and reduces anxiety about the end of life.

I didn't really think about God up until those moments, but still, many years later, I can remember the utter love and peace I felt.

Awareness, if you have it, is a great gift, strengthens you. I accept fully that some people believe in nothing, or other ideas. That's their own choice.

Anyways, always remember, a very short time here, if we live until 80, we only live for approximately 800,000 hrs. So cherish every waking hour, say it, see it, love it, feel it embrace and it, this thing called life.

For anyone with any curiosity, worry, or wonder about the afterlife … I recommend a truly thought-provoking book: Consciousness Beyond Life: The science of the near-death experience by Pim van Lommel, M.D., it is exceptional in many ways in the way it addresses many issues on NDEs and consciousness by taking a clear-cut approach and logical assessment based from two sides of the fence.

Bright Eyes by Casey Weldon

“I believe we are a species with amnesia. I think we have forgotten our roots and our origins. I think we are quite lost in many ways. And we live in a society that invests huge amounts of money and vast quantities of energy in ensuring that we all stay lost.

A society that invests in creating unconsciousness, which invests in keeping people asleep so that we are just passive consumers or products and not really asking any of the questions.”

Graham Hancock

Talking about your problems will exaggerate the problem in your mind.

You’re talking to people who don’t have a financial interest in seeing you get better. The whole thing’s a trap and a scam.

This is because becoming well requires discussions about truth, which is only the goal of therapy if the patient wants it to be.

The person is merely the result of misunderstanding.

In reality, there is no such thing.

Feelings, thoughts and actions race

before the watcher in endless succession,

leaving traces in the brain and

creating an illusion of continuity.

A reflection of the watcher in the mind

creates the sense of 'I am'

and the person acquires an apparently

independent existence.

In reality there is no person,

only the watcher identifying himself

with the 'I' and the 'mine'.

The teacher tells the watcher:

you are not this, there is nothing

of yours in this,

except the little point of 'I am',

which is the bridge between

the watcher and his dream.

'I am this, 'I am that' is dream,

while pure 'I am' has the stamp

of reality on it.

You have tasted so many things

- all came to naught.

Only the sense 'I am' persisted - unchanged.

Stay with the changeless

among the changeful,

until you are able to go beyond.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Man creates heavyness on his own mind...

Mirror (1975) dir. Andrei Tarkovsky

“A man has but one body,

like a single cell.

The soul is sick and tired

of its too solid shell,

with its ears, mouth, eyes

the size of a nickel coin

and skin all scarred and diced,

spread over a skeleton.”

Daily prayer and meditation are all wonderful therapeutic agencies in building up peace and happiness within an individual.

Swami Chinmayananda

It’s the quiet practices that fortify us.

Prayer, meditation, stillness…

They don’t always feel like transformation in the moment, but they build strength within us, —one breath, prayer, or pause at a time.

Surprised that Laura has taken the bait, and she's following her ego. And that she's judging anyone given her 'awakened' state/“ripe soul”.

Firstly, the very notion that one account is more accurate or more truthful than another is nonsense.

Spirituality is all about knowing yourself.

Secondly, awakening is a lie being propagated by the ego that whispers lies that are repeated by the (fearful) mind.

Those who are claiming it — are not really awakened/enlightened.

An awakened being will never “claim” it.

People will naturally get drawn to such beings' light. Even when they are sitting alone and not speaking to anyone.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —— — — — —

The spiritual path is not an excuse. Not a means to separate yourself. Quite the opposite.

Separating yourself from others is at the core of how the ego (the false self) operates:

THEY (the unawakekened) vs. US/HER/ME (the 'awakened' one)

(shows the ego is the one talking and trying to disguise itself)

— “They, they're `this and that, ... their 'unconscious security beliefs'

(another egotistical way to say I’m more spiritual than you?)

— “They basically can't think for themselves”

(all do not speak with tongues, do they?)

The human mind doesn’t ever know what anything is. It only thinks, it only means, it only conceptualizes.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —— — — — —

Oftentimes, spirituality becomes another tool for disassociation, judgmentalism, and grandiosity.

Everyone is important.

No one is that important, or more important than others.

Everyone is here for a reason, and the reason one's here is just as important as the next being.

Everyone is a part of this sacred interconnected system.

Ultimately, everything — the serpent/snake, Lucifer, the virtuous, the fallen, the hero, and the ignorant fools (the 'unconscious') — are from God/ALL That IS/Creator itself. We are all projections of the same Source.

All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

It’s not what’s going on around you. It’s what’s happening within you that matters. When you have reached the true state of peace within your own being, nothing outside of you can disturb it.

“The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it.”

— Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

When you have purified your mind and are living from the heart, surfaces your understanding of life and beyond.

“Your life has nothing to do with you. It is about everyone whose life you touch and how you touch it.”

Society is us.

“... the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.”

— Aldous Huxley

We are each other's destiny.

The moment humanity realizes not to be afraid, that control structure will shatter.

.

If you look at the way society is structured , it is structured to keep people overwhelmingly in a state of fear and always trying to survive, in terms of physically, in terms of terror, in terms of financially, the credit crunch, rising food prices; all this is survive, survive, survive.

David Icke

While patterns can provide valuable insights, your life may not be improved by the knowledge of their existence or your analysis.

Critical thinking is the most important skill, however, and awareness can reveal fallacies of your reasoning and errors in logic, expose your biases and assumptions, and identify areas for improvement.

That, tied to a good dose of discipline in performing actionable behaviours (such as focusing on actions and choices that are considered virtuous or good, helping contribute to and learning from the world as opposed to thinking constantly about how it can placate one's ego, aka me, myself, and I(d) — one can build a successful situation for themselves, — i.e., you can become 'powerful', 'dangerous', and 'unstoppable' if you will.

Funny thing your improved behavioural patterns (applied knowledge, aka wisdom) will change your mind and thus, the vibrational frequency of your conscious awareness energy field, (alongside with the purity of your vessel), and then you'll find that you have no interest in those immature desires you once pursued.

Weak men make hard times. Hard times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men.

Civilizations rise & fall. Men live & die.

Everything feels like chaos.

What stage are we on?

What we are witnessing is order.

Sometimes, we must be broken in order to be remade into something stronger.

All feels like chaos without the comfort of the Living God.
