Don’t seek, wake up instead

[@NudgedByGrace]

First person I’ve heard who makes sense. I agree with you. This has been exactly my experience and how I would describe things after the spontaneous ‘figuring out’ happened. Everyone on the internet complicates things. Cheers Steve.

[@bridietulloch1520]

The patterns correct on their own because there is no one doing anything, and waking up doesn’t happen during seeking, it happens when seeking stops. Because seeing is not an event. The mind takes you away from the seeing. Most teachers won’t tell you this though Thanks.

That is true. Thank you.

At the beginning, when I started this knowledge about awareness, I was very happy, very excited; read a lot, saw a lot of videos on youtube, IG, etc. After almost 3 years, these last few weeks I am getting angrier and angrier mixed with an imense feeling of being lost, of hopelesness. Really don't know who I am anymore or what to do.

[@steveford4249]

The beginning is exciting but after a while life becomes more real, that's all. Now that you are more real in your human condition, learn to integrate all experiences as Awareness. Of course, the tendency is to go back into the mental and emotional possession of the body but that's okay, see it, and learn to lean in and out as awareness, understanding that awareness is the root source of experience, and not the me, or I.

No choice. Love that. i felt it. So if (i am)choosing and comparing its mind Or if there is choosing happening it is just happening 😊 Its a subtle orientation change.

I have a premonition that I watched this video.. at this stage before.. interesting 🤔..just can't remember what happened next

[@ravenofthewild]

"Just the Ego dressed in drag"...lol. Yes. This is helpful pointing. Short and sweet. Thanks 💖

An unawakened person here..... From what you said near the end of the video you make it sound as if awakening is not such a big deal. If it isn't then why are we putting ourselves through all this for something that in the end is relatively inconsequential ? Why should we bother to awaken ? What are the big benefits of it ? 😕🤔🤨

[@steveford4249]

I understand what you are saying. What I mean by simple is that, it really boils down to awareness following awareness back to the point of complete non attachment to the body. Alternatively you can use the mind to understand and from that perspective it can sound really difficult. What I emphasise is that its more simple and direct if you as awareness, follow awareness back. I’m sorry for your frustration with all the different messages that can occure from listening to many teachers, maybe it would be better if you choose just one good teacher.

[@fk0ff-y9j]

it is a big deal, quite a big deal

[@Chris-vc1dh]

There is no person to wake up since that's true there is only waking up...

[@steveford4249]

Thank you. Keep enquiring.

[@gribwitch]

What you said doesn't make sense, Chris. If there's "only waking up" then a person must have been asleep in the first place in order TO wake up. So logically it follows that there must be people who NEED waking up.

Thank you! Can you talk more about special and holy relationship another time?

[@steveford4249]

I will expand on the special and Holy relationship, just for you.

[@CuttinInIdaho]

Exactly! What is the point of being here if all someone wants is to be pure consciousness? That sounds like a reframe of a suicidal tendency to something positive. Much like helping people can often be the sunny side of control.

I suspect it's a Magnesium deficiency.

[@polarbear8188]

seeing doesnt awake me

[@steveford4249]

Seeing is the non-subjective root of what appears as the subjectivve me.

[@tadayoshiwatanabe]

This is a confused, rambling bunch of total nonsense.

[@stephenford7473]

Thank you for your insightful comment.

[@wulf67]

You probably would say that about an organic chemistry lecture or a Dostoevski novel in Russian, or anything else you don't understand.

[@ollietron128]

Yep, complete gobbledeegook

[@Dev-op7kn]

Nah you just don’t the level of intelligence to understand this yet.

[@steveford4249]

Thank you for your coment

[@mattzeigler110]

Don't listen to this pompous nonsense, even though he does have a fancy accent. Do what every great sage has done throughout time, seek until you find. There is only Nirvikalpa Samadhi/Sahaja Samadhi, Fana/Baraka etc etc. Meditate until your thoughts cease. Anyone who claims differently is either a liar or has no idea what actual non duality is.
