Re: how to cut the root

Hi, I'm Chris. I would love the opportunity to chat with you and see if we can find this root you spoke of... If you wouldn't mind, could you let me know what it is that you think you might see at that "right moment"?

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

Hello Ali,

Hope you are well. What comes up when it is read that there is absolutely no “you” in any way, shape or form, there never has been a “you”, nor is there or will be there ever be?

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

Do you think that you've fallen into nihlism and that life has lost all meaning for you? Is that perhaps where the lack of motivation is coming from?

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

The motivation is different too.

I sometimes worry that the motivation will not come back, - or how will I motivate myself.
What is it that you feel you should be motivated to do that you are not doing?

What are that activities that now no longer occur in you life due to lack of motivation?

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

The experience still seems to vaccillate.

I think I have sense of what you're getting at. That their is no stabilzation.

But I still experience it as going back and forth between ego and soul.

All that is ever experiened is the five senses and thoughts. The content of some thoughts tell the ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

If I don't call it the space- but a lack of thoughts.

How do you function- get things done. It's very strange.

There doesn't seem to be any motivation.

There was never any you making things happen via motivation. It has always been this way. There were just thoughts about what was happening ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

I'm tired out. The spiritual awkening deconstructed everything. Now what.

You sound depressed (something I've experienced myself for many years). When you say "deconstructed everything", what do you mean? What is different after this spiritual awakening that you had? It's difficult to offer much ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

I realize the ego is a learned conceptual structure.

Is there anything that you know about life and how it works that is not a "learned comceptual structure"?

What I experienced is that it is still there- even when I'm in, I now know its not real.

The point isn't to get rid of the ego or ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

I've been meditating for 20 years- breath meditation. Whilst I've visited this place before- this is a shift to a new place.

I view this sort of thing as a perceptual shift rather than a new place.

The fear I feel is caused by everything collapsing all the structures of mind/ego. The ego is ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

Hello Ali,

Hope all is well with you!

I thought you meant you had been to Liberation Unleashed previously when you said, "I have visited this place before" in your previous post. I posted those questions hoping you would describe in more detail the realization that has set off the collapse that ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

Fear can definitely arise when everything we thought we knew about life and how it works is called into question. I remember feeling like I was dying or that something bad was going to happen if/when I saw through the illusion of self. It was a while back so it's hard to remember the intensity of ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

It sounds like the content of your thoughts has changed. I am assuming that all of your senses are still functioning as usual, it's just the interpretation of what is experienced that is different.

Do you know what triggered this shift? Were you reading or contemplating anything before this shift ...

Re: Need guidance and reassurance

Motivation for anything? Sometimes I feel I could just sit and look out of the window forever, never do anything.

But is that what actually happens? You still take care of your needs, correct?

There is a thickness to the moment. Like forgetting everything.
When everything was collapsing- there ...

Hello Ali, I'm Chris. Can you please describe this spiritual awakening that you are having?
Wonder where the motivation will come from?
Motivation for what exactly?

Re: Guidance requested.

So...im feeling a bit like a state between liquid and solid. Its pleasant, and most of the "seriousness" of "life" has seemed to evaporate a bit. I have more energy, more positive energy than before; probably because of the energetic re-investment from the release of most of the seeker. Truly ...
