My mind is my greatest adversary. Life has been extremely painful and unpleasant for most of my existence here on this rock for thirty-six years. I am thinking of killing myself, but I fear that will just get me re-born as some kind of slug or something even more unpleasant than being human.

It's not that there are not good things in my life. I see beauty, and love, and laughter, and joy. I just simply cannot find meaning in it. I don't think the good justifies the bad. I think the bad outnumbers the good exponentially and I'd rather not exist at all then exist in a world that constantly hurts me and others. But even that can't save me because I'll just be reborn and have more karma to burn through.

Existence feels like a never-ending punishment. That the moments of joy or happiness are there to keep me from offing myself so that I might suffer exponentially longer.

Ive been told I can find peace and love and joy in the present moment. Maybe I've never been able to enter the present moment because I find that 'peace' I'm supposed to have, the total love and joy and finding existence is perfect in its imperfection and ever-changing nature, and to see that not a hair is out of place- I get that logically. I don't feel it. I feel such hatred for myself and most of the world. It doesn't feel like an everchanging game and expression of the universe it feels like an endless torment. I feel that i'd rather not exist at all than exist, but I do believe in reincarnation. I feel the world is such a terrible hellish mess that I'd rather not exist at all.

I have such hatred for myself and the world. It gives me no joy. I have no desire. I want nothing. I care very little about most things lately. Nothing brings me joy or happiness anymore. I dont care about things I used to care about. How am I supposed to engage and love a world that I find so unbearable and terrible? How am I supposed to find meaning in a world that technically doesn't even exist? That is projected through consciousness?

I am in such mental anguish and I don't know how to escape. I don't know how to see anything in a positive manner. I don't feel good things anymore. I dont feel bad things anymore. I just am coasting through life with rage for everything. I dont want to be this way.

I know that if nothing we do matters, then all that matters what we do. I feel as if nothing is real, if nothing has profound meaning, if everything is going to decay and die why try? Why bother living if it all ends? My teachers tell me why NOT live if nothing matters? But I dont see the point.

Im tired of being in pain.

I am mysteriously drawn to monks, Rishis and sadhus. I haven't met any in real life and wanted to know what kind of persons are they. Do they talk and tell you something? Are they mysterious and have unknown powers? I am so consumed with curiosity about them I actually want to go to Himalayas to find them and talk to them and learn from them.

I've noticed that as my awakening matures, my social circle seems to become smaller, even as my compassion for other people becomes considerably greater. The difference is that I no longer feel the same need to be drawn into everything. People get caught up in the drama, illusions and attachments of the material world . People are where they are, and there is something to be said for allowing them to have their own experience of this life, just as I had to.

In 2023 I joined a social group largely made up of retired people, assuming naively that people approaching the later stages of life might have developed a greater interest in reflection, impermanence and the question of what ultimately matters once so many of the ordinary structures of life begin to fall away. Instead I found something quite different: many seemed to be doubling down on the material and social identities they had spent their lives building, almost trying to recreate the experience of being in their teens or early twenties. There is nothing inherently wrong with enjoying life of course but I found the contrast with what I had expected very striking. If anything, being closer to the end seemed to make some people more determined to hold onto the identities and pursuits associated with the earlier stages of life instead of realizing how empty experiences hold no lasting value.

It has made me wonder whether awakening necessarily means that we find ourselves surrounded by other people who are experiencing the world in a similar way. Perhaps that happens for some people, but I'm increasingly uncertain that it is the point. There may be very brief periods of genuine companionship with people who are walking a similar path, but lasting and deep conversations are rare. Fortunately I don't feel the craving to be understood but sometimes there are things that only someone walking the same path can understand; even a therapist seems perplexed!

Perhaps this is simply part of the process: the circle becomes smaller because of our objectivity? We can be present without being absorbed, compassionate without taking on what belongs to someone else, and connected without requiring that connection to take the form of constant need. I sometimes wonder whether we are actually meant to spend less time searching for people who see what we see and more time simply living in a way that quietly reflects what we have come to understand.

Any advice you can give will be appreciated!

After surviving and leaving a narcissistic marriage and over all these years of not setting boundaries around people, allowing red flags and toxic behaviour from partners, family, friends, I am finally on my path of spiritual awakening. And I can feel it, I am more intuitive now, very self aware, wise and ALONE. Nobody can understand this feeling unless they go through it themselves.

I kinda miss bonding with people, I used to be extremely social and had a lot of friends. Now I can barely relate with the 2-3 friends that have been with me since the past 10-12 years. I do not enjoy going out for drinks, I do not like the crowd being loud, it feels negative and damaging for my mental health. My old friends have barely had any character development all these years.

I also feel more inclined towards people who are more into fitness, spirituality, embracing their culture, healthy habits. I enjoy deep talks about life, traumas, experiences, history. Surface level conversations give me the ick.

So basically I am scared that all this is making me lonely and I am not able to connect with my old friends and making new connections are becoming tougher unless they are on a similar path as me. It can get lonely sometimes but I rather be alone than being around a friend /partner that dulls my spark and has not changed (for good) all these years. I cannot people please anymore.

Anybody gets this feeling or is it just me?

We all share the same consciousness so we are not separated except the body. and we are all on different level of consciousness

Between December and January of this year, strange things happened to me. My sister started going to a family constellation familiar, and then we started having paranormal experiences. One day she saw that someone was watching us in our room, and I was asleep and I saw that a person I was afraid of in my childhood was staring at me in my dream (a girl who bullied me), and according to my mom I was screaming in my sleep, 'Mom, help me'. That was the beginning of this. They sent me to that family constellation therapist twice, supposedly to free me from despair. My mom paid for it after my sister went. The first time I went, after going I was half asleep and half awake when I saw a ball of black smoke with a Labubu smile coming quickly towards my face to scare me. I woke up completely in the middle of the night. Then the second time this woman gave me reiki And it all started horribly. I started having "logismoi" The face of someone who hurt me deeply came to mind (my rap1st from when I was little). from March until now, and still goes, nightmares of all kinds about all the people I was ever afraid of. disguises itself as people I was once afraid of. And also dreams where I scream at my mom or my grandma that I was a victim of abuse, beatings, and horrible things that they hid and never wanted to hear or admit, or that my mom abandoned me And I had to go from house to house growing up and nobody wanted the responsibility while she went on luxury trips or things like that. this family constellation therapist supposedly got sick for a month and couldn't see me anymore. And then I found out that around the corner from this woman's office there's a haunted house that no one has lived in for over 200 years and that everyone who wanted to buy it returned it. and also now is free but not even the homeless want to live there. I started going to church, I asked the priest to bless me and I told him about the situation, I prayed the rosary in Latin and Spanish, psalms, I bought the St. Benedict medal and prayed to it in Latin and Spanish i add bless water in every water i drink. I fasted for almost a day without water or food, but I started to almost faint from lack of water so i eat and end the fast. and there was also a situation where my sister went on a trip to see the World Cup And when she was about to board the plane, I rinsed a pot and it formed a tomb with a cross. I prayed a lot because it was her first trip to the United States and I had that threat. I want to upload the photo of the pot, but I don't know how. The thing is, I don't know what to do anymore, and it's annoying. I want to be calm, I don't want any more logismoi or strange things or stormy dreams (I had a stormy dream today) And then there were a lot of paranormal things happening at my house. My mom saw a man with a bleeding head Seeing her outside my house, in the same night then my sister saw TV turned on by itself, and our TV needs to turn on with two remote control, she was scared and so was my mom, but nothing happened to me that day. A girl who was my friend, I had never told her anything about this, and she told me that she dreamed that a black smoke entity like a ball was chasing me months after the dream of seeing that thing and when she said that, we were on a video call and some porcelain broke, just a sugar bowl, and she was looking for a cup and the sugar bowl broke on its own during the video call when she said that to me. In addition, she began experiencing sleep paralysis after that. I've been baptized, confirmed, and communion. I don't know what else to do, I want my mind back

I feel so terrified. I don’t know if I’m going to make it to the other side. Ive been healing for several years. The last year or so have been extremely intense, relentless, agonizing and painful, the layers of pain keep coming off through the flashbacks. It’s been SO hard, SO painful and SO dark for so long it’s hard to keep going. I know I must be getting close…like I can feel my ‘self’ dissolving and God moving in. It’s so fucking scary. But I can’t give up now.

If you can just offer some compassion and words of care, I’d appreciate it.

NO ADVICE, but respectful, thoughtful replies of relevant wisdom or encouragement are welcome.

I just have bin scrolling on fb to find some spiritual books, that show how the truth is and all that. But I’m having a hard time discerning what is legit and which is Ai slop. I want to start reading and learning it but idk if I could fact check them. I think I saved maybe 10-15 but idk,lmk how I should probably navigate this.

The ego, our self-centered beliefs, convinces us happiness, success, and meaning may be found in the world.

If we even partially believe this, though we may have awoken, sensing the first messages from our spirit within, enlightenment will elude us.

The spirit, however, asks us to seek our answers only within, where they have always been, and then to selflessly share its wisdom and unconditional love with all others.

It is ironic; we spend our entire life searching for meaning, yet we have always had the answers.

We were simply looking for them in the wrong place.

Attacks on your energy are literally everywhere. Yes spirituality is for ascension, but also for protection since this planet isn't innately healthy.

For most of my life, I felt like I didn't quite fit anywhere. Not in a dramatic way - just a quiet, constant sense that something was missing, that I wasn't allowed to take up space the way I was. I was the kid trying to make myself smaller so people wouldn't have a reason to look away.

I went through real depression more than once. As a teenager. In my twenties, cycling through jobs and identities that looked fine from the outside - kindergarten teacher, HR, my own business - and never quite fit. Each time, I told myself it was getting better. It wasn't, not really. It just came back heavier each time.

2025 was the worst of it. Bad enough that for a while, I didn't want to be here anymore. People told me to think positive. I couldn't. It doesn't work that way, and I wish more people understood that.

I'd tried antidepressants once and it wasn't right for me - I'm not saying that to tell anyone else what to do, everyone's path with that is their own. What I did next was research psilocybin, mostly out of *nothing else is working, so why not.*

My first trip was small, low-dose, almost gentle. Just enough to loosen something. A few weeks of microdosing after, and for the first time in a long time, I laughed again.

The second trip was the one that actually broke something open. I prepared for days. Cleared the space, sat with my intentions, went in alone. Early on I saw myself as impossibly small, hiding behind a kind of shield - and I understood, clearly, that I'd been making myself small my whole life so people couldn't reach the parts of me I didn't want seen. I went back to a childhood memory I hadn't thought about in years and cried in a way I don't think I'd let myself cry before.

Then, later that night, something shifted completely. I found myself somewhere quiet and vast, full of light, and - I don't fully have the words for this, but it felt like meeting family. A presence that told me it was time to wake up, to stop hiding, to stop waiting for someone else to hand me permission to take up space.

I came back different. Not instantly healed - I want to be honest about that, because I think a lot of these stories skip the part where it's still hard sometimes. But something had genuinely shifted underneath. Nature felt different. I felt other people's energy in a way I hadn't before. Old thoughts still showed up, but I could finally watch them instead of drowning in them.

What I understand now, looking back, is that the mushrooms weren't the healing. They were the door. The actual work was - and still is - going back through everything I'd spent my whole life avoiding, and learning to stay with myself instead of shrinking away from it.

I still have hard days. I don't think that ever fully goes away, and I've stopped expecting it to. But I know how to find my way back now, and that's the whole difference.

*If anything in this resonates and you're in a dark place right now - please don't wait it out alone. Talk to someone, whether that's a professional, a crisis line, or someone you trust. This story took me years to get to the other side of.*

All is mind.

Consciousness is embedded within the entire fabric of the universe.

Thought power moves the universe.

Chaos in the mind leads to calamity in the world.

To change the world, you must first change yourself.

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

You have to be willing to let it all go, Neo... Fear, doubt, and disbelief... Free your mind.

You must unlearn what you have learned...

Knowledge is power, but it's how you use it that matters.

A strong desire for knowledge over love can be destructive and lead to immense suffering.

We must let go of what we desire if we want harmony instead of slavery. Happiness instead of sorrow.

A man who wants nothing, has everything.

Free will without morality, love, empathy, or wisdom is dangerous and has the potential to destroy the world.

If one human changes their mind, it can change the entire world.

To save one life is to save the world entire.

To desire an outcome for the future is to destabilize the present.

Never his mind on where he was going, or what he is doing. Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things.

There is no shame in being alive.

There is no shame in asking for help, or needing support, yet do not let it hinder your personal strength or growth.

There is a timing in everything.

Sometimes we must endure our own hardships to the brink of oblivion, to the precipice of destruction, and then ask for help, to understand our own strengths.

Have faith in yourself too, do not be afraid.

Wisdom will carry you far.

Gather wisdom from all across the world.

Gather from one source, and it becomes rigid and stale.

Understanding others, the other elements, the other nations, will help make you whole.

There's only one thing that matters if you're a shinobi, and it isn't the number of jutsu that you possess, what you do need is the guts to never give up!

Never going back on your word.

Never giving up no matter what the odds may tell you.

It is possible to solve the world's problems, but trying to fix the external world, with not shaping the inner world first, is futile, and has led to much pain, suffering, bloodshed, and death.

Just as the child in The Matrix says, it is impossible to bend the spoon, you must first learn to use mindfulness or awareness toward the energies and feelings within, and try to understand the thoughts and feelings that arise in your mind and body, and use wisdom and discernment to navigate the complexities, and compassion for yourself, then your external world will change, and you will bend, and the spoon will bend with you.

Both your internal and external world are connected. The more you work on changing and challenging yourself, the more everything will change around you. Relaxation is important too.

The true mind can weather all illusions and lies without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.

Gardening, Community, and the External World

Gardening is one of the primary solutions to solving all of the world's crisis. Increasing biodiversity, improving food security, helping people to live for over 100 years, the return of bartering and sharing and possibly even local community meals, gardening provides the solutions to help humans, birds, bees, insects, animals and all life on the planet, and even the planet Earth herself.

Gardening could also be a fall back if the populace ever organizes mass general strikes against the corporate elites and victory gardens could make a return.

The Third Eye, Duality, and Spiritual Awakening

There is an idea that runs like a buried current through almost every mystical tradition, yet it is rarely stated outright.

It is the notion that the third eye opens when duality collapses.

Beneath centuries of symbolic language and religious distortion lies something that feels less like metaphor and more like a description of a real psycho-spiritual transformation.

The same idea appears in Hindu yoga, in the Gnostic Gospels, in Hermetic and Kabbalistic texts, and even in the writings of the early Christian mystics.

They all point toward one moment of convergence, when the mind stops perceiving reality in fragments and begins to see from the center, through a single unified field of awareness.

In the Hindu and yogic systems, the third eye corresponds to the Ajna chakra, the seat of inner sight and intuition.

Classical texts like the Shiva Samhita and the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad describe it as the point where two energy currents, the ida and the pingala, merge into the sushumna, the central channel of consciousness.

These currents represent lunar and solar forces, feminine and masculine, receptive and active.

As long as they oscillate separately, awareness bounces back and forth between the poles of perception, light and dark, self and other.

But when they fuse perfectly in balance, the yogi enters the state of turiya, pure consciousness beyond waking and dream.

The Yoga-Vasistha puts it plainly: “When the distinction between seer and seen dissolves, the eye of intuition opens.”

This is not poetic flourish. It describes the moment when the dual architecture of awareness collapses and perception becomes whole.

That same principle appears in the Gnostic writings of early Christianity.

In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus says, “When you make the two one, when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner, then you will enter the Kingdom.”

The Kingdom here is not a physical paradise or a future event. It is a state of consciousness where opposites no longer define reality.

The dualistic prison of good and evil, right and wrong, heaven and earth is transcended, and what remains is the direct perception of unity.

The Pistis Sophia expands this idea, describing the restoration of the “Light” within the soul as the moment when right and left, above and below, are reconciled.

The early church suppressed these texts because they bypassed external authority. They taught that the Kingdom was within and could be accessed directly through self-knowledge, without priests, dogma, or intermediaries.

In other words, they taught people how to see for themselves.

In Hermetic philosophy, the same unification is described in cosmic language.

The Corpus Hermeticum teaches that when the divine mind awakens within the human, “the eye of the heart sees that light and darkness, life and death are one and the same.”

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus reduces it to the most famous line in all of esotericism: “That which is below is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing.”

This formula is the essence of Hermeticism, the realization that microcosm and macrocosm mirror each other perfectly.

When that mirror becomes clear, the observer perceives no separation between self and cosmos.

The “miracle of the One Thing” is simply the collapse of duality, the seeing of the All as One.

Kabbalistic mysticism translates this into the language of divine architecture.

The Zohar describes the right and left pillars of the Tree of Life, Mercy and Severity, as forces in tension that must be harmonized through the Middle Pillar, the axis of balance.

When the two sides are reconciled, Tiferet, the beauty of unity, is revealed.

The Zohar says, “The two pillars are opposed, yet the Holy One established the Middle Column to balance them. When balance is achieved, the face of the King is revealed.”

That “face” is the same inner vision described by the yogis and Hermetists, the unified consciousness that arises only through equilibrium.

Centuries later, the Christian mystic Jakob Böhme expressed it in his own alchemical language: “When the spirit pierces through the anguish of contrariety, it beholds with one eye the unity of God in all things. This eye is born in the midst of the combat of opposites.”

Across cultures, the message is consistent: illumination is not escape from tension but its reconciliation.

Mystics symbolized this process as the sacred marriage, the union of masculine and feminine within the self.

In alchemy, it is the King and Queen merging into the Androgyne, the Rebis.

In Kabbalah, it is the joining of Mercy and Severity in Tiferet.

In psychology, Carl Jung called it the coniunctio oppositorum, the conjunction of opposites, where the animus and anima integrate into the whole Self.

The idea is not about gender but about polarity.

Every human being contains active and receptive qualities, reason and emotion, light and shadow.

When one side suppresses the other, consciousness fragments.

When both are embraced and balanced, awareness expands.

This union births the “single eye” of the soul.

It is, symbolically, the fusion of divine masculine and feminine energies and, in the interpretation I am describing, the internal reconciliation of left and right hemispheres.

The person who reaches that balance becomes whole, creative, compassionate, and self-directed, a threat to any system built on fear and division.

This might also explain the universal symbolism of balance found in occult and religious art, the caduceus with its twin serpents crossing the staff, the cross itself as the meeting of vertical and horizontal, the yin-yang as the dance of opposites containing each other.

These are not just artistic motifs.

They are maps of consciousness.

They show that true illumination comes when the polar forces intertwine and rise, producing the still point in the center, the eye, the axis, the sushumna.

That point of balance is where perception becomes self-luminous.

It is why ancient temples and cathedrals were designed with symmetry and sacred geometry, to mirror this inner alignment.

The architecture of enlightenment was literally built into stone while the doctrine that explained it was hidden behind allegory.

If we step back and reinterpret this through the lens of modern neuroscience, something extraordinary emerges.

The ancient imagery of two currents meeting in the center mirrors the anatomy of the human brain.

The left hemisphere governs logic, language, and linear thought, the solar, masculine principle.

The right hemisphere governs intuition, spatial awareness, and creativity, the lunar, feminine principle.

These two halves are connected by the corpus callosum, the bridge through which they communicate.

In ordinary consciousness, one side tends to dominate, and perception alternates between analysis and emotion, order and chaos.

But in deep meditation, ecstatic trance, or states of flow, brain scans show a different pattern: both hemispheres begin to fire in synchronized rhythm.

This is called hemispheric coherence, a measurable state in which the brain operates as a single unified system.

When this happens, subjects report experiences such as timelessness, unity with environment, radiant light between the brows, and a sense of love without polarity.

What yogic texts call the merging of ida and pingala, neuroscience can describe in terms of communication and synchronization between different neural systems.

The collapse of duality may be experienced as a neurological event, one that occurs when different sides of the brain come into greater resonance through their connecting structures.

The third eye, in this model, is not merely an abstract symbol but a spiritual interpretation centered around the region of the pineal gland, that tiny organ situated near the center of the brain.

Ancient art placed the “eye of Horus” or “all-seeing eye” in a similar symbolic location for a reason.

The pineal, along with the thalamus and midbrain, is involved in circadian rhythms, dreaming, and aspects of altered states of awareness.

When energy or electrical coherence rises symmetrically through the nervous system, it can be experienced as though it converges at this center, creating a flash of integrated perception.

It is as if the two beams of consciousness cross and ignite a third, vertical current of light.

The experience feels like awakening because the brain itself is being experienced as a unified instrument.

Modern science is beginning to rediscover what the ancients knew intuitively.

Studies on long-term meditators reveal increases in gamma-band coherence across both hemispheres, corresponding with feelings of unity and compassion.

The nervous system quiets, the sense of self dissolves, and perception expands.

In these moments, the brain may be integrating processes that ordinarily feel divided.

The left hemisphere stops trying to name and categorize, while the right stops drowning in emotion and imagery.

Together they create a new form of intelligence, one that sees without judgment.

The result is similar to what is described in ancient mystical language: the eye becomes single, and the whole body is full of light.

When duality collapses, time itself feels different.

Linear sequencing gives way to cyclical awareness.

Past, present, and future seem to coexist.

This is not necessarily proof that time literally stops existing. It may instead be the nervous system operating outside its usual survival filters.

Good and evil can lose their absolute definitions because perception expands to include the total context.

Life and death can appear as alternating expressions of the same continuum.

In this state, consciousness experiences itself not merely as a localized observer but as the field from which observation arises.

That is what the Gnostics called the Pleroma, what yogis called Samadhi, what mystics called union with God.

It is the state of the third eye fully open, seeing all things as one.

And perhaps that is the greatest conspiracy of all, not that secret societies worship hidden gods, but that the secret they guard is human potential itself.

The knowledge that every person is capable of uniting their own opposites, awakening the eye of light, and perceiving reality directly, without filters.

Imagine what would happen if that awareness spread.

Ideological divisions would lose their power.

The need for external authority would dissolve.

Governments and corporations thrive on polarity because polarity fuels fear, and fear fuels control.

But when an individual begins to perceive through unity, fear vanishes.

Judgment transforms into understanding.

Violence becomes unnecessary.

The old systems lose their grip, not through revolution but through evolution.

Maybe that is what all the ancient teachers were really trying to tell us.

That the apocalypse is not the end of the world, but the unveiling of perception.

That heaven and hell are psychological conditions defined by whether we see through separation or through unity.

That the battle of light and darkness is an internal tension meant to be reconciled, not projected onto others.

And that enlightenment is not found by escaping the world, but by realizing that the world was never divided to begin with.

If that is true, then the third eye is not mystical ornamentation. It is the next step in human evolution.

It is the moment when our nervous system integrates its own polarity and the mind awakens as one.

We are on the brink of rediscovering what ancient initiates encoded in scripture, symbol, and temple: the truth that everything we have been taught to see as opposites are two expressions of the same reality waiting to reunite.

So perhaps the question is not whether the third eye exists, but why we have been taught to ignore it.

Why a civilization that prizes technological vision fears inner vision.

Why systems built on division would rather keep humanity half-awake, looking with only one hemisphere, than risk the awakening of both.

Because when both halves of the brain, both genders of soul, both sides of the cosmic equation finally meet in the center, the illusion of separation dissolves, and with it, the power of those who depend on it.

My Experience With the Third Eye

To open the third eye, remove fluoride from your intake, drink spring water, use fluoride free toothpaste, and use alternating nasal deep breathing, or just standard nasal deep breathing to open your third eye and sync and connect the two hemispheres of your brain for greater coherence, and when your third eye opens, even greater output.

It will take several months to a year or possibly longer depending on how calcified the pineal gland is.

Get a fluoride water filter, if you want to go all out right away, get a reverse osmosis system, you can also use gallon jugs or bottles of spring water but then there's the question of microplastics, so I would say, never leave the bottles in a hot car and make sure they're stored in a cool environment. So that you don't have plastic leeching as much into the water.

The ideal setup would be a reverse osmosis system and only drinking out of glass containers.

So, to meditate on opening your third eye, you can try 963 Hz pineal gland activation music, there's also hemi sync music from the Monroe institute, which is designed for syncing the left and right hemispheres of your brain.

If it starts to become uncomfortable to listen to at all, or you become fatigued, turn it off.

I would put in my earbuds and turn off my lights and lay down in my bed, and listen to the music and just breathe through my nose or try to relax, nasal deep breathing all the way to your diaphragm is very important as well because you draw in subtle energies that travel directly to your brain when you breathe in through your nose, as opposed to breathing through your mouth.

I would also suggest getting lions mane capsules and taking them everyday or night, I would take them at night.

Lion's mane is linked to neurogenesis, which is the reparation and regrowth of brain cells.

They can be a bit intense though, they don't give you any visuals or anything like that, but they put your brain into a kind of overdrive in a certain way, and I'm not sure if it was the lion's mane or if it was everything I was going through spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, but I feel like they did give me a very low level of anxiety a couple of times, nothing major, but I just wanted to warn you about that.

They're amazing though, and I will probably buy some very soon, I have been without them for a while.

When I did this all of this, my third eye opened, but it can take months or maybe even 1+ years, I'm not exactly sure how long it takes, it is likely different for everyone.

I want to say it took me about 3 months of continuous effort, and I took breaks where I didn't do anything related to opening my third eye directly, but really it was a series of lifelong events and hundreds of thousands of thoughts, if not millions during the course of my life, and a lot of intense thinking about conspiracies and the state of the world, which helped break me out of dualistic thinking patterns, and it all led up to that moment in my life.

I was also in the process of thinking about the nature of good and evil the night my third eye opened, and I wondered if evil could be looked at with love instead of hatred, and then I felt a pop or like a slight crunching or tearing sound and sensation, nothing painful at all it did not hurt, it was actually kind of relaxing, and I could feel fluid transferring from the left hemisphere of my brain to the right hemisphere, and the fluid was moving through the third eye like a bridge.

The next thought I had, which was probably 5 to 10 seconds after my third eye opened, was the fluid was transferring and I was just relaxing, was that I have been disconnected from my emotional self for most of my life.

Then, I saw a vivid and moving image of God and Satan dancing next to each other, I could explain a lot more about that, but that's just a rough summary of what happened.

Breaking out of the dualistic or binary thinking structure that is most of this world's system of illusory entrapment is an important aspect of spiritual awakening as well.

I also want to say that once you open your third eye, there's no going back, there is an incredible amount of high strangeness that you will deal with, if your experience is anything like mine.

I also wanna say that you may deal with demonic possession and you may have to be delivered by christians.

You may have thoughts of suicide.

Or of harming others and demons may push you to the brink of the thought experiments and they may influence your energy.

So you have to use discernment and be decisive and do things like move yourself away from harmful locations.

Another Perspective on the Third Eye

There's also another important aspect of opening the third eye in the west, but here in the west, they've flouridated our water supply.

So we have to remove fluoride from our intake entirely, and that also means from our toothpaste as well.

In addition, in the west, if you open your third eye and you're able to communicate with spirits and have abilities, that will all get pathologized by therapists and psychologists.

So, I would suggest not sharing any of it with them if you end up dealing with them at all.

Keep all your spiritual treasure safeguarded away from them at all costs, because basically what happens is they turn into agent smith and they crush what you say with a materialist reductionist perspective.

I also want to mention that if you try to go for help to the established avenues because you are suffering and need help, you're likely going to eventually deal with forced injections, police showing up at your house if you miss one, and overall a complete intrusion into your life, so it's honestly better to figure it out on your own if you can, or ask for help elsewhere.

If you share with mental health "professionals" they'll say you have schizoaffective disorder or something, and try to give you heavy antipsychotics, you don't want them messing with your brain chemistry.

Meanwhile, in a place like India, they have culture and language around the third eye and temples that you can go to for meditation, and have a different understanding of spiritual abilities, so depending on where you live, your experience with opening the third eye is going to be different.

I remember wishing that I lived in india when I was going through it and the only doctor that's ever recognized what I said about opening my third eye was an indian doctor, and she said that was very difficult to do.

And I imagine it would be different for everyone that achieves a third eye awakening, because each person is different with a different collection of information and knowledge and experiences that will all come to the surface when the third eye opens.

I had to sift through like 30 Idioms, when my third eye opened, it was really annoying, Spells within the english language that are designed to keep people from reaching enlightenment.

Anyways, I'm getting distracted a bit, I feel, so... to open the third eye.

You can either listen to hemisync music which I would not suggest, because it leaves a residual energy field that you'll have to deal with later even if you only listen to it for like a week, or you can do alternating nasal deep breathing, which is the yogic way, and I think it takes longer.

I only listened to hemi sync for like a week.

And I would say it left a negative energy signature even to this day.

So I would not suggest it.

Take the longer approach and do alternating nasal deep breathing.

What I did is just standard nasal deep breathing, because I didn't know about alternating nasal deep breathing at that time, and I would put my earbuds in and then turn the lights off and lay down in bed.

And then listen to 369 Hz. 963 Hz or 432 Hz meditation music.

I would also listen to pineal gland activation videos on youtube.

There is also solfreggio that you can listen to which I have heard works but I didn't test that myself.

Anyways, I would say it takes about 6 months to a year for your pineal gland to clear out of calcification and flouridation.

That number is just based on how long it took me to open my pineal gland so it could vary for each person.

And then you could theoretically be stuck in duality for years of your life before you finally break out of the dualistic thinking pattern.

Fluoride, Consciousness, and the World

If you want a piece of information, Grand Rapids Michigan was the first city to implement fluoridation of the water supply, and the telephone area code of Grand Rapids, Michigan is 616.

The interpretations of the Nag Hammadi texts particularly the Book of Revelation interprets the mark of the beast as being the number 666 or 616.

In my eyes, this was a coordinated attack from the principalities of the powers of the air, from Satan and/or the Demiurge and his demons, to crush consciousness and disconnect people from God and from higher levels of awareness to keep people in darkness and suffering in agony with shortened life spans, trapped in samsara.

There was a concerted effort by the principalities in the spirit realm to suppress people from higher levels of consciousness, so that they wouldn't be effective at being warriors on the battlefield in the spiritual war as well.

They did this by fluoridating the water supply and by miring people in dualistic political thinking patterns using the mass media outlets, steeping people in an us versus them mentality, which is a divide and conquer tactic of the mind.

In 2001, the same year as 9/11 doctor jennifer luke did a study where she confirmed that the pineal gland accumulates fluoride at a higher rate than any other soft tissue in the body.

Meanwhile, they had kids across America swishing fluoride solution in their mouth during class for supposed dental reasons.

But really, it was disconnecting them from their third eye, calcifying their pineal gland so that they wouldn't have a direct connection to source consciousness, and it also reduces their lifespan and disrupts sexual hormonal functioning, which may be one of the reasons why we're seeing a rise in transgender people.

That's another theory for another time though.

This is essentially top secret information that can turn you into a god and i dont know if i want to create gods unless they are tempered by wisdom.

Continuing though, with the third eye opening, you gain access to a wide variety of abilities when it opens, the ability to directly communicate with the spirit realm, although you already have that ability and probably just don't know it yet, enhanced neuro processing abilities where you can soak tons of information and then process it all at once in a split second.

Highly enhanced mental visualization abilities.

You can also gain access to healing abilities, and the ability to visually see your own timelines before you even take a step, and you may also become aware of time and that we are in a timeline, and have moments of deja vu, and a lot more, including more siddhis that you can research on your own.

How I Understand the Opening of the Third Eye

So, how do you open the third eye?

Well, Sadguru says there's two different ways.

One way is where the mind becomes a vacuum.

And there are no other thoughts, and the door blows inward and the third eye opens.

The other way is that you contain everything and everything you know and feel and think, and all of it has no expression to find out in the world.

So you contain everything.

And eventually the door blows open outward from the inside, and the third eye opens.

I did the second method by studying conspiracies and esoteric information over the course of fifteen to twenty years and having nowhere to talk about it.

Until one night, I was contemplating the nature of good and evil, and I asked the question of whether or not evil could be looked at with love and compassion, instead of hatred and disgust, and that's when my third eye opened, and I could feel energy transferring from the left hemisphere of my brain to the right.

And I got the sense that I had been disconnected from my emotional self for a long time.

And then I saw a vision of god and satan dancing next to each other, and immediately after the vision I deduced that people that are being labeled with schizophrenia are actually communicating with the spirit realm, and it was almost like I was meant to say that at that specific moment in time.

So I would say, expect to see visions if your third eye opens, and communicating with spirits.

Fasting, Endurance, and Spiritual Awareness

Then you might want to try a water fast for a day, but make sure you're mentally prepared for it first, and you study about it as well.

When you don't eat you enter into spirit mode, more and more, and I think that's why Jesus went 40 days and 40 nights without food in the wilderness, i think he just had a salt pouch, he was pushing himself to the highest level of spiritual awareness and mental and physical endurance and raising his qi levels to the highest level.

It is advised to drink water in smaller amounts because water is potent and it will flush out the salts in your system fast if you drink too much of it at once, but there's also liberty in drinking a full glass of water all at once if you feel you can handle it at the time instead of sipping.

Use your own discernment though.

When you're in the midst of a fast any intake is kind of amplified in a way.

Fasting is also linked to autophagy which clears out damaged or malfunctioning cells and repairs your body and organs, you'll also find your mind enters into survival mode, which can actually make your thoughts more sharp, but you can also get brain fog.

You will definitely need salt during your water fast, drinking too much water without salt, will demineralize your body, and you can end up in the hospital, with a very intense headache, or possibly even worse depending on the severity.

For the salt intake, you can remedy this with a literal drop of soy sauce or you can grind salt into your hand and just touch a tiny amount with your tongue, and see how you feel.

Be very gentle with this, and err on the side of a very tiny amount, less than you would ever think of using, and then see how you feel, and wait, and wait some more, seriously wait, and then potentially take in a tiny bit more salt.

I feel like that's generally enough salt for me, at least for a little while, I might do it three times, depending on how I feel, but no more than that, and I almost feel like that's a lot, so only do that if you really need the salt, but then sometimes you take in too much salt and you need water to counteract it which can be a vicious cycle that you don't want to get trapped in, make sure you endure what you're feeling, and wait until you have decided on. what you're doing

For a water fast you may have to eat small amounts as well, and if you've never experienced fasting, it can be a bit stressful on the heart, so make sure you gauge what you are comfortable with.

If you're just starting out, you can start with a 12-hour fast and do it the easy way first where you just don't eat 4 hours before bed.

If you decide to do it during the day, and you're starting to feel bad, it may be worth considering eating something.

It's also kind of dangerous for people who are diabetic to just water fast all of the sudden, the same thing applies if someone has heart problems, so I would actually recommend if someone is diabetic or dealing with heart issues, that they consult their doctor first, but when I did it I was relatively healhy, so I endured.

If it becomes too unbearable to not eat, then try to eat something more light, like a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and just try drinking the broth at first, or just try some kind of soup that's what I would recommend, but use your own discernment, you also want to try to push yourself to your limit, and see what you can handle, but you don't want to torture yourself, and definitely not hurt yourself, that's not good or helpful at all.

Be kind to yourself.

I also want to mention, that the longer you go without eating, the harder it is to eat something, your brain will think that you can eat the foods that you ate before and even in the same quantities, but that's just not the case after around 3 days of fasting.

I would suggest to start small when you begin eating again, but there's also freedom in just going for it and trying to eat what you enjoy, but you may get sick.

Worth an attempt though, gauge how you feel first though and then decide, I don't want you to hurt yourself.

Spiritual awakening is intense but also can be a gentle process if you have mercy on yourself.

Thought, Movement, and Mental Endurance

I would also encourage you to think way more and often, in fact so much so that you burn out all your electrolytes.

Don't be so hasty to eat and replenish your electrolytes if you are trying to think about a deep topic, you almost want to go into survival mode when processing complex information and to reach the deepest levels of thought.

Next walking helps the brain process information.

So pacing is helpful in thinking through a topic.

Also, if you ever feel stuck in something mentally or physically, if you are feeling ready and up for it, try moving.

Nothing major just a single step or a breath or an arm movement can break you out of a root.

The Warning

Last I want to include a disclaimer, and it's a major one, you will likely become a targeted individual if your third eye opens.

It's like the light turns on and all the moths, bugs, and parasites come out to play.

You will probably be attacked by demons, and they can do a whole array of things to someone psychologically that are not very fun.

People have gone insane from this and hurt themselves, so I want you to be aware of that before going in.

However, don't let fear guide your actions.

"If you want to be a bender, you have to let go of fear." - Avatar Aang

"You have to be willing to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind." - Morpheous

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Paul Atredies - Frank Herbert's Dune

It's about you, it's about me, it's about hope, it's about dreams, it's about friends that work together, to claim their destiny.

It's about reaching for the sky, and having the courage and willing to try, it's about never giving up, so hold your head up, and we will carry on!

Love You,

Best Wishes,

Adam

I'm 55, Frenchie, having right now a closer look at reddit communities.
I got myself a PhD in astrophysics without any effort, was wired as scientist, autistic like, social phobic, hypersensitive, depressive as hell. I instantly put in all my mental ressource in studying Tibetan Buddhism when i first read a Matthieu Ricard's book when i was 30.
Done that because I recognize the scientific approach I could take on that one, Buddha himself said to not believe his words but study, contemplate, experiment for one self, that's the only way the essence of Buddhism could penetrate my mind, blind faith is totally stranger to me.
Until now I just can't find any flaw, and I'm still a bit depressive because I haven't found a way yet to convince my scientific fellow that science of matter is nice (physics) to bring external confort (or atomic bomb), but science of the mind is even better as it impacts directly your quality of life and those around you.

In fact physicist don't even know yet about the mental continuum of energy, they study only the material continuum of energy and they think a soap of quarks can start to think and feel all by itself, sounds like magical thinking to me now.

If only Einstein were alive, he would certainly have an opened enough mind to start studying seriously Tibetan Buddhism philosophie and theory, and spread that good news around the world.

How can I get awakened as I had gone through trauma like sexual abuse ,my father does domestic violence to my mother, bullying in school? A godman said that awakened can become rich and successful like billionaire in tech industry?

Idk that will I get awakened in this life time or not?

Does a "Dark Night Of The Soul" feel like God has left you / spiritual presence have left?

I've felt so connected to a higher power, God, energy, force, nature, universe for so long in my life. Many moments feeling like a message has been sent. A nod to me. Crazy things happening it's almost unbelievable to myself.

I've also been on a bit of a ride in life. Rough upbringing. CPTSD. Blah blah blah. It's lead me on a spiritual path for sure. I feel in a huge process right now going through life changes. Taking off the mask I wore for a decade. By myself in a foreign country building things back up in my 30s. I can see/feel growth is there day by day.

Yet...

I do not feel God with me or a spiritual power almost guiding me like I have before. It's really tough in general but this on top feels like I've done something wrong and been left. IDK. I just started reading up about Dark Night Of The Soul and sounded like it connected.

I experienced Ayahuasca for the first time, outside the United States last week. I have passed my physical healing period, as it takes about a week to fully gain your body function back. Ask me anything you want, and I will do my best to answer your questions the best I can.

This sounds insane initially, but growing up in an unstable environment forced me to develop a heightened sense of awareness. This led me to become hypervigilant and observant since early childhood, constantly gauging others' emotional states.

I started taking Adderall in 2022. Over the years, I've had multiple surreal experiences. At first, I was blissfully unaware this was the beginning of my spiritual awakening. I tend to think logically and always search for a reasonable explanation. I was once ready to calmly dismiss something as a hallucination from sleep deprivation—until, unexpectedly, my cat also acknowledged whatever I saw; this external validation indicated that it wasn't isolated to me. My cat, who always jumps and chases after everything, was frozen, completely still, fixated on what he saw. Shocked, I suddenly questioned everything I had ignored, assuming it was just a side effect.

After recent reflection, I believe there's a correlation between my meds and spiritual attunement, given they essentially amplify my already elevated state of awareness. In this sensitive state I'm more receptive of any surrounding energies. This, along with sharpened vision, allows me to pick up on things that aren't always visible. It feels like I gain this meta-awareness, noticing every fine detail. My intuition also reaches an uncanny level of accuracy.

Curious if this is a shared experience?

i have intrusive thoughts but they’re not so much intrusive when it’s in the back of my head constantly. it’s completely opposite of the person i am, but i have intrusive thoughts about hurting people i love and know are completely innocent and mean no harm. i have all other kinds of horrible thoughts that aren’t mine and it’s mentally tormenting. i also suffer with issues of thinking my thoughts are being broadcasted & delusions of something watching me.

anyways i had a really bad day with these thoughts today and i don’t want to assume, but the specific person these thoughts were about was having a really rough day after i’d been having these thoughts and im wondering if im energetically sending them to him somehow. because when i have these thoughts i imagine them going to him or like im “thinking them to him”. i know energy can’t be created nor destroyed, and these thoughts are some kind of energy, so i feel as if im sending him hurtful energy. whatever i could just be delusional but it’s mentally tormenting.

i fell asleep on the floor and had this dream, woke up at 11:49 pm.

i had a nightmare that there was this toy in a box that was in my room it was like a lps toy and it had some numbers randomly on the box. like 11, 2002, i think 49 but it was a double digit one, etc. and i kept looking at the box it and id turn it and the little animal toy thing would fall over and i keot doing it over and over. and then i see my sister, shes been hiding her face and quiet. i turn her around and she was sunburn from tanning i think, but her right eye is extremely bruised, and theres scratchings on her face her face is torn up and on each cheek theres numbers written on them. and i look at the nimbers and look at the box and automatically put 2 and 2 together that it has correlation to that toy. whatever hurt her has correlation to that toy. and so i get mad and i take the toy out the box i think and say were gonna burn it immediantly. and then these 2 rabdom older people show up a man and a woman and theyre helping me get the stuff to put it in a bag and burn it. (all of a sudden theres more pieces) but we had to get anything it touched. and while thats happening im holding onto the toy but its a trickster so its trying to get out of my hands and etc but im swueezing it with all ive got to hurt it. and the mans getting frustrated because im not outting the items in the bag his way but im also holding onto the toy to make sure it doesnt dissapear but they dont know it can move and its a trickster toy. whule theyre taking forever to put the stuff in the bag its not that much stuff but fir some reason in the dream they were moving so slow and more things had to go in the bag versys just the box and the toy, i was talking to the man about subconscious and conscious mind. idk what i was saying and finally the lady is done or she checks on me with the toy and i wake up. it was a lot scarier than it seems typed out but it was a demonic dream.

the scratches and burns and bruises on my sisters face, the carved numbers especially 11:11 which i thought was related to manifesting. it was just really scary.

when i have these mentally tormenting days (everyday but some worse than others) ill get extremely angry and i have the urge to get careless about everything and violent but i do not and i know better because i dont want to hurt anyone.

and the weirdest part of it all is this is completely against my true nature. naturally im very sensitive and empathetic, and its not really by choice at all. i think my nervous system is just sensitive because i can pick up on the feelings of others not just cognitively but physically and emotionally without trying or wanting to.

im scared im being possessed or attacked or something. does anyone know what the dream could mean and why i am experiencing this.

i also have a history of ouija board usage if that helps any

ps: please dont comment anything about therapy. ive seen 2 different ones over the past 2 years and was just judged and dismissed rather than helped.
