A question is arising in me time and again, I will try to formulate it as clearly as I can. As per I have read and understood Gaia along with Humanity are going through the ascension process. Some souls will ascend into the higher dimensions and the ones who are not willing will dissolve into the source.

I've been hearing from a lot of people to love myself. Its a huge message that comes often. But with all the talk of ego, building up, breaking down, and awareness I wonder which part to love. Who am I even. Am I the awareness, am I my body, thoughts, feelings, emotions? Am I the rock or the grass. Am I someone else that I see. Am I the spiritual vibration?

Is it wrong to love my body, love the way I look, love my talents and skills? Are those traps of the ego?

So one aspect of the ego/mind I have noticed coming up is jealousy. A situation external, or story internal, has shown me that someone gets to have something that I no longer have, don't currently have, and wont have with a specific person. With this the mind provokes jealousy. Yes it is specific towards romance and intimacy of a separation, and the person experiencing romance and intimacy with someone else.

I noticed that when it comes to hate, the solution is love. But what about jealousy?

What does it mean to be happy?

I've noticed that things on the outside can make the ego appear to be happy. Its not such a bad thing at all, but when the ego loses those things it becomes sad.

So what is true happiness? Real happiness?

The Other Face of Surrender

What does ‘Surrender’ really mean? How do we live from this place?

Often I’ve heard on the spritual path about the idea of ‘Surrender’, being surrendered to the flow of the Universe. And I had ‘ideas’ about what this meant. It sounds great, to just let go, and allow things to flow. But is this really the true meaning of true surrender?...

During this giant shift that is occurring within me, a lot of crazy things have been happening on the outside to bring to the surface pretty much everything on the inside. With this comes incessant thought and a whole lot of emotions.

Not too long ago I discovered my heart. It was a true unconditional love that came from within. It seemed to have nothing to do with thoughts at all, it was a true feeling that was the most magnificent of all. I wonder, where did that go?

I had something landing on me and would like to summarize/reiterate a couple of things and ask about this additional landing piece of info I got.

What's the difference between the states after realignment, after, then after transfiguration, and enlightment and on and on?

What I sense is that in the first case it is me, who is experiencing, there is "I", and the soul is in the background, mainly suppressed.

In a previous topic on this forum, I talked about not engaging too much in certain aspects of spiritual reality…

After some contemplation, I’ve realised that it comes down to a fear I have of going crazy.

I know that some of the things I believe to be true are completely outside many people’s belief of what is ’reality’. I know there are certain people I can talk openly with about these things, and others I have to censor what I say to avoid coming across as a raving loony.

Hi,

These are a collection of the quotes that I find are the ones that most clearly disclose to us, where the real game is hidden, and where to look for that "enlightenment, freedom, bliss etc." ...and how to "get it" fast : )

Below I have also included the link to a free book on the subject, by a well known enlightened master.... enjoy.

"Find yourself first and endless blessings will follow"
- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

"The enlightened man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering."
- The Buddha

I had some interesting (to me) reflections yesterday on my life, that went something like this...

I was thinking about how there are certain things in my life that I am not at peace with, and how there are certain repeating patterns. And I began to see myself as a character in a story / in a book, and that the story was playing out a certain way - that it had the sense of an inevitable trajectory, and that the trajectory did not look good (to me). Whatever I do to try and change that story, the plotline seems to continue in the same direction!
