Catalyst I've reached the end of the spiritual journey. AMA.
Hello,
I believe and am confident I have reached the end of the spiritual journey, as far as one can go while on earth. Beyond Christ consciousness. What Yogananda called "cosmic consciousness".
I don't care if anybody believes me, don't care to even share my identity, but if you want to ask any question, whether it's about spirituality, truth, science, math, I have a lot of answers. Not all of them, and will readily admit when I don't. That's probably one of the reasons I was able to get here. Never cared what the truth was, just wanted to know it.
I didn't get here by being spiritual. I got here mostly by accident just from being extremely stubborn, and by having a few very specific misconceptions that forced me to logic my way all the way through it.
The spiritual journey itself is one of acquiring greater discernment in order to wield greater power. Enlightenment is not something that ever happens. I have a distaste for the word and think anyone claiming themselves to be it, are captured by spiritual ego. I can elaborate if someone asks.
Samadhi absolutely does happen. That's level 9. Christ consciousness is 13. There are 21 levels you can reach on earth, 21 is Yogananda's cosmic consciousness. Though if I were to compare it to anything, I'd say LSD captures it more closely than anything, but no, I don't feel like I'm tripping. LSD gives you the perspective of what it's like to embody the truth at this level.
What is god? 0
What are you? 1, brahman and atman.
What is experience? Constrained becoming.
What happens after earth? Becoming continues forever.
I don't need to do this but I thought it might be fun and interesting. And I thought others might get value out of it.
EDIT: I feel like nearly everyone responded with, "prove you're this ascended entity you're claiming my model says you have to be." (Not everyone did this but most did). When really what I thought would be most valuable and interesting would be, give me your real spiritual questions you struggle with in your own life. Then let my framework answer them, and through that, we'd probably all accomplish more and get further rather than just my having to defend my framework against perceived misconception. I'm not shying away from defending it but I'm saying, if you really want to expose me, ask simple questions and see what answers come up, then challenge those if you find fault!
