The Energetics of Awakening -- Infusing the Relative and Absolute After Awakening

[@Oldoregonnurse]

I have been waking regularly at 3 AM for several months. I know it’s from the shifts that are occurring. Sometimes I go back to bed at 7 AM. Mostly not. I notice the more inquiry I do, the less I’m sleeping. Last night I was up again and I feel okay now. I also do TRE to help release energy. I also have a lot of kundalini occurring in my head when I meditate. It’s like a pleasant buzzing and feels like I’m releasing energy off the top of my head. It feels quite pleasant.

I've been waking up (and staying up) at 3 a.m. give or take for half a year now most days (even when down in Australia🤷). I know after watching this that the disruption coincided exactly with a significant perception shift. Thanks man.

The timing of this must be just what I needed. Had some seriously strong energetics last night and just couldn't sleep. I eventually just got completely exhausted somewhere after 2 am or 2:30 am but still woke up at my usual time in the morning. I honestly didn't look at the clock though and time for me is just non-existent so it might have been earlier, it might have been even later. No idea! It was as if I was feeling the entire universe vibrate on a certain frequency like a buzzing sensation. It's happened before throughout this whole thing and on retreat so I knew what was happening though. I had a bit of a separate shift yesterday that I can't put words to. Something just feels a bit different and I can't put my finger on it with words. Maybe a falling away or something like that? Words will never do it justice. 🤣

I can relate very much to the migraines, sometimes daily and I would hear the energy move as they came up. Grounding was extremely helpful. Cook’s Hookup was the one exercise that really helped. It’s easy, takes very little time and is very powerful.

I also had headaches in early awakening… now I track my electrolytes, supplement sodium, potassium, magnesium… no more headaches 🤪🧠

Hey I’ve been following spirituality for the past eight and a half years and it seems that different teachers approach “enlightenment” from different angles. Some teachers keep talking about “oneness,” others talk about “nothingness,” other others talk about “consciousness” and levels thereof. Are these really all pointing to the same thing or are there differences? Can we know if all of these are pointing to the same enlightenment? Is there a litmus test for enlightenment? How would one really know if someone else is enlightened? One teacher I watched stated that the #1 symptom of enlightenment is that you don’t really remember anything anymore (in a good way). Basically, you’re extremely present. Would you agree with this interpretation, or can you see how it might be false?

[@ianmccall1789]

my 2 cents is that the answers to your questions will all depend on YOUR model of enlightenment. if your model of enlightenment is more inclusive, then you’ll be more likely to think that different teachers are pointing to the same thing. if your model is more exclusive, then only certain expressions will “count” as enlightenment to you. given your comment, you seem open to inclusive models of enlightenment. an inclusive view is a good remedy for a judgmental mind. but, it has its downsides too. lastly, there’s the option of having no model for enlightenment. this is characterized by statements like “enlightenment is the disappearance of the distinction between enlightenment and non-enlightenment”. i personally don’t see any of these models or non-models as correct or incorrect, but you are free to see it however you see it. i would only recommend that you trust yourself. best of luck to you, fellow traveler.

@@ianmccall1789awesome reply. Also may I ask what kind of knot is that on your pfp?

[@GumbyTheGreen1]

I don’t think your first question can be answered without a lot more context to show what those words seem to mean to those teachers. But if any of them say that those words are what full enlightenment/liberation is about, I’d say that they likely have some misunderstandings about it and almost certainly haven’t gotten there themselves.

❤this is perfect ❤❤❤

[@lynbrowne931]

Ive used the Simply awake app to listen to when I can’t sleep, also the Neural Frequency sounds on KZbin are great 😴

[@Schneebs]

I never had headaches until I started listening to you 😡 Haha just kidding. I have noticed however a knot feeling inbetween my eyebrows that is new. Its not painful per se but it is very distracting.

[@borrisbortrude8676]

Hi Angelo, I've been experiencing a lot of sadness and desperation during insight meditation.. I've been emotionally suppressed most of my life so I understand this a good thing.. do I just keep going?

[@SimplyAlwaysAwake]

yes, though also consider adding some somatic or relational work etc

[@stevenrosen5955]

This is a good one!! Is the approach non-resistence/surrender?

[@arnaud_voltaire]

Dilullo is the solulu

[@redicanron]

Thanks Angelo. I've been feeling incredibly weary this past year and in truth it's probably been with me a long time. Used to feel like it was weariness of struggling of the illusion, recently feels like there's a weariness that's connected to the seeking to enquiry. How does one work with that, seems like a contradiction maybe even asking this I know...duh!!

[@Oldoregonnurse]

@@redicanron I had to stop all the watching of videos and stopped most meditating too. I was overwhelmed and doubtful. So I gave it a rest for a long time. Maybe 5 months. Something miraculous happened during that time. I wasn’t even aware at the time. When I started meditating again and watching some videos I realized that I’d let go of a major fixation I had. It hadn’t been on my mind for months. Surrender is a wonderful thing.

I have to say, I know it is the spiritually wise thing to say everything is flawlessly designed...having been deep in this process for many years now, the reality I marvel at everyday is how messed up reality is. There is just layer after layer after layer of bullshit, frozen energy, distortions, astral strangeness, pain, etc. I haven't been perfect in my life, but I also haven't been going around serial killing. How did it all get like this? I was just going along doing my best to live life. And if there is this much backlog and upheaval in a life like mine, what then of people who have had much heavier life to deal with? Not to be blasphemous, but I can imagine a much better design to all of this. A much better, life-supporting design to reality. I know it isn't nondually correct to say it, but it seems there is a lot of unseen evil operating in this world. I have been deeply and sincerely dedicated to healing and inner work for years and my life has fallen apart. The path is brutal, the world around us does not at all recognize or support this process, in fact much of it seems designed to keep us away from deep healing. I know this is not the "right" perspective, but man, I can't help but ask what the hell is going on with this BS? I find myself more and more attracted to Christianity and its recognition of spiritual evil and spiritual warfare. Matches the experiences I have been having more closely than nonduality which often comes across as dry, flat, etc.

[@SaxonShore]

Is this related to Zen sickness? I've found Hakuin's incorporation of daoist somatic techniques into practice very useful indeed for balacing 'energy'.

[@danielmaina4942]

How does placing attention in the body sensations relate to this? Is it why it is so hard?

[@FetterMuncher666]

Kundalini is no joke. I've seen that it doesn't really care about my plans or agendas.

[@FlamingoCupcake28]

What is divine limerence? How do you protect students from YOUR shadow OR at least protect them from the less than honest folks you schlep them off on?

[@renko9067]

Just wtf are dreams anyway? In them, the person we take our self to be senses a world, as well as other people who communicate and interact with whoever we are in the dream, which in turn creates emotional states for the dreamer. 🤷

[@danielmaina4942]

Please touch on sleep a bit more, youve mentioned a couple of times about not needing that much sleep... especially seeing how little sleep affects most pple. There's actually science for this... interesting.thanks.
