that video game comparison at the end is so accurate. ridiculous as it may sound, i’ve had the same realization playing MMOs. “being” a character put into perspective “being” “myself.” “i” am not the “character.” beautifully, articulately put.

It's been a long time Frankie. You've been in my journey since 2015. I'm glad you're still at it. Meanwhile, due to Covid-19, I quit weightlifting and have resorted to Calisthenics. So far, they've been great. It's really not the type of training you do as long as you apply the fundamentals which are: Consistency, intensity, volume, frequency, and dieting.

I love your facial reactions Frank.

[@Venga7]

You like being in a body. That’s why you’re still here and while keeping your physical form on-point and banging your women. Yes it’s better not to be completely localized to a “meat stack” but your consciousness is too infinite to just release and let go free with “no location” or else you will become even less significant and or debatably less conscious than that mosquito. How does an upgraded meat stack sound? Becoming a cyborg in the flesh with your consciousness coupled to this upgraded meat stack while simultaneously being inside of cyberspace is where you want to be. That way you can upgrade your meat stack to enjoy more physical pleasures that you are so in love with and also upgrade your consciousness in a manageable way

I'm going to be able to be mindful for one hour non-stop to cultivate concentration. Then begin vipassana. I'm not sure as to the importance of compassion, but I'm sure it will be made known in due time. Do you think what I've said is a good way to go? I've determined this to be the optimal path and is what I'm actively working towards. Thanks for all of this brah, I would love to hug you, been with you for a while! :)

how'd it go?

[@7dnein944]

@@gcg8187 It's indeed the way to go friend. Start by cultivating attention. You need to observe thoughts, observe breathing, observe your whole beingness. Vipassana is the categorization of observations, therefore it is indeed wiser to start by attending to your mind.

[@TheComiKen]

Awakeness/Enlightenment is vastly simpler than this video is making it out to be. It doesn't need to look like this. Not trying to invalidate his experience at all, but it's not this crazy-ass amazing state you experience all the time. Had I seen this a while back my mind would have generated even more illusions about what "it" is. It's actually what you are RIGHT NOW. It's just overlooked. So simple that you are already "what is" without trying. You just believe you are a person in a world who needs to survive in it. That's the dream. What's real is what is here now. Unchanging in every moment. Like Frank says in the video, what you are is life itself. Awareness itself. Which cannot die. Life is playing itself on autopilot. No one is at the wheel. The illusion is that you think YOU are controlling things when there is actually no one here. "Enlightenment" is just you without stories or beliefs. You are just life as it is. Not as the mind THINKS it is. Before, I thought Enlightenment was something I would add on to my ego to make me an "enlightened person." But the process is actually reductive in nature. To see reality as it is I basically underwent a continuous spiritual death. I didn't make it happen. It just happened. And I DON'T recommend this crap to anyone AT ALL. The price you pay for eternal peace (with lighter suffering) is YOUR SELF. But you basically return to a more innocent state of non -knowing. Similar to your childhood state before picking up the burdens of the world. (And don't worry about your eyes seeing in 360 vision. Eyes don't do that!)

[@frankyang]

You are absolutely correct. Awakening is not an experience at all. It's simply the dropping away of self and you go back to the Natural State, which no words or visuals can describe. It's beyond "mind blowing" because in here there is no mind or body. There is no need to talk about it. There isn't even "pure consciousness"... The extra-ordinary state is infinitely times more magnificent than any Mystical experiences. And through out the Path there are many wonderful experiences and even after Realization you are free to "fill the void" with any states. However, no one is going to want to go on the Path if you tell them this lol so you gotta spice it up a bit. As for the 360 thing, once the lens of perception is removed and the center of perception is untied and you lose the observer, "awareness" is panoramic.

[@TheComiKen]

​@@frankyang Well, fair enough. Everyone's path is different. If was told I had to die to "get it" I wouldn't want it either! I feel like I started from death and have to work upwards. The actual experience was very terrifying, but I have had moments of deeper love and connection beforehand. I think my mind's realized it ahead of my body and my body's still catching up. I don't see things in panorama view, but I'm still processing deep feelings of loneliness, sadness, and anger. The only difference now is that there is no escape from these feelings. These are only passing vibrations, not me. The way I see it, this awakening/enlightenment business works on an infinite continuum of deeper and deeper remembrance of one's Self.

[@pedrofuster9161]

Frank I would like to add Spanish subtitles to some of your videos, I know there is a configuration that allows the automatic translations to be editded by anyone and then approved by the creator.

[@Andy-lo9sp]

I think “I” have embodied a sort of non-local knowing of objects as they arise, aka the “embodying awareness” stage, but I can lose it and fall back into a dualistic view when I have to do something that takes up mental bandwidth like thinking about a problem, working, etc. Any tips?

Do you do a lot of drugs? I'm curious because I've had similar feelings while on acid but I haven't taken it in a couple years and I feel "normal", but there's always that memory in my mind of what it was like to feel connected and outside of my head. I thought it was unhealthy so I stopped taking drugs but I wonder if you can reach that without drugs and whether or not that's "healthy". I feel too much responsibility to delve into that part of my mind again.

How is there consciousness without a brain? 🧠 How would you store memory? Without a nervous system, how would anything be perceived? There’s no vision, touch, perspective. There is nothing without a nervous system. You would be as conscious as someone in a coma. But even then, you would have dreams that would come from your brain.

Hey frank, i feel like i am trapped in this materialist paradigm, even though i experienced blissful states of conciousness through musical practice and meditation... But after a conversation with someone who i consider to be smart (not wise or experienced in terms of what conciousness and thoughts are) i feel unsure in my belief of an immaterial reality. Its like i know the arguments against materialism but i still feel like i am trapped and closing off my heart to higher states of concious experience... Which is just dumb, but i dont know how to get out of this intellectual trap which one sets itself. Its like i need to know the limitations of science, the mind and ego itself. And i need to understand that some truths may not be verified by science at all.. Which is also something i need to realize in a better way. What i just want to ask is, if you can do another video on the materialist term and really pick apart the materialistic paradigm
