*On Commercial Spirituality:* What a sale! Enlightenment at %50 off. It was so heavy. It took six of us to get it into the trailer. All the while, it mule-kicked and kangaroo-punched. We swung the gate shut just as it bit off a chunk of my forearm. But it’s all mine now. Such a deal! Thing is, I can’t show it to anyone, you’ve seen what it can do. And I’ve got to haul it everywhere I go. I’ve forgotten where I’m going in such a hurry. How will I know if I’m there yet? I’d swing the trailer gate open and ask enlightenment directly, but I’m no fool. I won’t chance another bite or let it get away. They come from miles around to witness my enlightenment. And although they never see it, they hear it kicking at the gate and punching the sides of the trailer. It’s in there. And it’s feisty. And that’s how they know it’s genuine, despite the deep discount I received. I’m a Guru now, and every doubter becomes convinced, when I show them my disfigured forearm. 😂🤣

[@Zohar333]

My path was largely meditation (reflection, not necessarily physical) to clear my mind. I started using this clarity of mind to look back in time, all the way through the childhood I can remember. At the end, I found the "me" that I left behind and stared in the face of the other "me" who kept that "me" safe for decades. The ego that I crafted to deal with the world (Jungian psychology anyone?). And it's not to say that I wasn't acting consistently with most of who I am, but some of me was so much under lock and key that my ego would act inconsistently with who I am (shadow functions). And I finally said "enough is enough. I'm going to be ME again." I'm going to wear all my kindness and tenderness on my sleeve because I AM strong enough now. Nobody is going to squash this. I have the power to be open AND keep that safe! But along the way, all manner of other things came back to life. It was a long, long winter in my soul and now the Spring is here. Love your videos and love the real JOY inside you. True joy is getting harder and harder to see in people. Let's keep spreading it!

[@DTSkywatch24]

So glad to have read this. I resonate with it greatly. There was a part of me that I hid, a child I never got to be due to circumstances beyond my control. But one that I wanted to be. A kindness and gentleness I kept hidden due to it being perceived by others as a weakness, but it's a part of me that wants to exist and no longer be hidden. Finding a way to give room to that side of me is difficult, the world demands everything be far to serious than it actually is. I'm trying to learn to be a child again, be curious instead of acting like I know it all already, be kind but also be able to stand up for myself, it's all new to me but I feel much more whole than I ever have. It has been a relief. Thanks again for sharing it's meaningful to have read someone else feeling something similar.

[@rijd2304]

I had to find out that there is nothing I can do to reach "enlightenment"... nothing. Striving for it is just another obsession and desire. Talking about it doesn't help. We're making a job out of trying to get something that is free, instead of simply smelling the flower or tasting the spice. I remember the mindfulness book called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels and the book The Power of Now helping me realize I need to stop stressing over something we all have already.

[@cleener]

I had a stroke by trying to do the yogic breathing methods, you have to follow your inner thoughts and stay away from outside teaching unless you're heart tells you it is positive, many times I started reading a book and my heart told me DELETE. Eventually this thing that I called my heart turned out to be my twin soul, now I do everything to keep her in contact with me, I am cutting ALOT of wood now because when the mind is in danger or hurt, you loose connection with your twin. I can't let her freeze this winter, you cannot ever put yourself in danger, then, you both loose. Still living in the wilderness, loving all of you.

My awakening or shift was spontaneous, i wasnt even really seeking that much. Ten years on, grace runs the show. Im aligned with divine will, shift constantly between heightened states and low anguish and mind sttacks. Im guided by will not my own, or perhaps its my true will, and im isolated a lot of the time. Studying, contemplating, writing poetry when the will/lifeforce makes me. Ive grown so much but at times it can feel like being an inmate. Waiting for grace to get me more active again. But maybe im burning karma? Dont know... peace Yash and bless you ❤

You got to try and then you got to try to try and then you got to try to try to try and then you realize that trying itself is an illusion and that's the point to where like you're open for real realization. I'm not sure if you would get the same effect though. If you just knew about not trying from the get-go, I think there's something to that particular process and the reason why you have to try and fail and then stop trying to actually gain moment. It's the same concept as being able to improve your meditation techniques, but not actually being able to reach out and grasp the state itself, but rather cup your hands and receive the water type thing

I came across Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh’s books in the mid 70s, now he’s posthumously known as Osho. Actually, my first exposure to Eastern spiritual literature was Ram Dass (Be Here Now, Now Be Here), but Rajneesh was the guru that permanently blew my mind. In my 20s I read all the books I could find by the Master. I can’t remember the titles, there were so many books, but a few I recall like The Psychology of the Esoteric, and The Mustard Seed. Even though I found his writings unbelievable in my mind I knew in my heart it was the truth. These teachings, books, sent me reeling as a lost soul for decades. I intellectually understood everything, but I was never graced with the “shift” until I was well into my 60s. And ironically it turned out to be the most ordinary and natural thing, realizing your true being. Anyway, in a longwinded way, this “ grace” you speak of happens in its own sweet time, and the seeker has no way or say in the matter. And it’s so ordinary and natural, this shift.

Absolutely all spot on. I love your style, and how you respect many Indian philosophies but also realize what is authentic to your own path. I’m struggling with that.

I would love to be able to express myself more openly and connect with others who have found their own unique path.. when Grace aligns with where ever I am.

[@NoMoreFunland]

With the tugging of practical demands & the lure of energy spent on material rewards it can be hard to allocate the awareness to divine whispers. Takes a lot of practice & surrender to get those subtle ears unclogged. You provide a timely reminder of the unique process that takes such god’dang patience. Thank you for another subtle susurration as grace speaks through you. Much love to each and every soul gathered here. May the most gracious forbearance find you all with continued searching. Wishes of the sweetest little moments in the quiet corners of of y’alls day no mater the material that’s standing in your way. Even if it gets worse it will get better soon ❤️‍🔥

I didnt realize how concentrated it was and took a heroic dose by accident. 2 hours it took to kick in... and then I went into another universe with an initial moment of terror. Almost 2 years of psychedelic's brought me to another level where heavy purging is still happening now 4 years later

I do yoga, check in with myself as often as I remember & chant the hanuman chalisa , I don’t see any of these things as “spiritual practice” just what I feel called to do & I can only assume this is my path until grace finds its way to me but I’m grateful for you. Edit: It’s important to note that my life isn’t the same as it was 2yrs ago, when I started watching your videos. most of my bad habits have fallen away and been replaced with these things I speak of above so grace has already found its way and continues to do so.

[@spiritualrenaissance]

Good! This is organic..:)

[@jonmustang]

Right on, I totally agree! Even when there’s some kind of shift in the middle of a technique, why did it happen then and not months before or months after with the same technique, right? There’s really no telling. So we have to keep just letting the way unfold. One time I read a Vedic parable and my mind emptied out. The parable felt so significant for a few days afterwards as well. Then I read it again a few weeks later and nothing happened. I’m guessing if I read it a year earlier, it would also have been nothing… but that one time on that one day, without even trying, grace wanted to play in that way.

[@DTSkywatch24]

It was a great suffering that did finally lead to..something awakening in me. Contemplating a voluntary death. But something hit me just in time for me to realize there's more to the world than my atheistic mind thought. More to live for. But I feel frustrated when it didn't all "stick", in other words when I would lose that "feeling" to my own frustrations with people or the world or circumstances. It would sometimes take days or weeks to recapture it. But now I am months in to having lost that feeling and do not know if I can recapture it, but I am trying not to force it anymore. It doesnt feel right for it to be forced but i am so new to spirituality that maybe it takes effort to maintain but not the type of effort i am used to? I dont know. I just hope it will grace me again.

[@spiritualrenaissance]
