A real ascended master sees people as they really are—no beginning and no end, the eternal now, love expressed.
The ego is an impersonal field that becomes more aligned with its blueprint (goals, dreams, passions, life purpose) the more one follows the impulse of awakening to their already enlightened Self.

“God is the fractal expression of who you are.
In the now you hold the power of the entire structure of that frequency.”

Entry 2,368 - November 26, 2024
I encourage everyone to listen to the audiobook by David Goggins, where he talked about how he put what his haters said on a mixtape and would jam out to it in the morning. That was a powerful lesson for me.
Being able to use the negativity people throw at us as fuel to be better, to improve ourselves, and to achieve our goals is huge.
I call it dark grace because it shows us and gives us a power boost in the direction of our goals, and it gives us free fuel for ambition and to accomplish what we want to accomplish.
There are two distinct ways that people improve and follow the blueprint of their soul in this life. One is through exerting one's will by bypassing the ego, and the other is through consistent meditative practice. Using both is our double threat.
David Goggins, in his books, shows one how to bypass the ego by exerting one's will, and many enlightened teachers like Adyashanti show people how to become in alignment with their blueprint through meditative practices and remembering who they are.

Instead of being more in alignment with Mother Earth, we have contributed to many species of animals going extinct and endangered. We have acted as if we are the virus and the parasites to other animals, plantations, environments, and geographic sites.
If you look at the research done by David Hawkins, the fact that over half of the humans alive are below the level of 200 shows that we are actually more primitive than many animals that are on this earth that do live in harmony with the world and with other animals, such as elephants, deer, bison, and so forth.
The fact that many of these animals actually calibrate higher than humans should show enough of how big of a mistake it was to attempt to increase the capacity and power of technology at the expense of increasing the capacity of the heart.
Entry 2,370 - November 20, 2024
I feel such intense euphoria with the slightest things now. Playing my favorite song, late drives deep into the night, making my apartment pristine clean, the massage chair routine after a hard workout.
It's so intense I feel like all time stops and I'm just living in an infinite state of Me. After the massage chair, I had to physically pull myself away so I could continue on in my day, or else I literally could have stayed in that state all night long. The bliss is beyond anything I can compare it to.
The closest thing I could compare it to is when you "get the chills" when you hear moving music.
Although instead, imagine it's your whole body, inside and out. In your head all the way down and up your body.
Sometimes in meditation it's so intense the body will move in a sine wave pattern. It's not the actions themselves that cause it, but rather the state of mind behind it.
At this point, my biggest obstacle to further progression of my consciousness is leaving this ecstasy for primordial peace.
I don't want to, but I know I have to.
Entry 2,371 - November 26, 2024
Those who spread rumors are unfortunately their own victims.
Send them love, for they truly need it.
When I meditate and a thought pops up, I just let it come up, and as I focus on the present moment (like my breath going in and out of my nose), it'll eventually fall away.
Eventually it happens less and less until the background becomes the foreground.
Eternity replaces excessive thinking in the now moment.

A good teacher doesn't show the way. He destroys the way. Meditate on that.
Entry 2,373 - November 26, 2024
A potential problem with scripting your future using hypnosis is oftentimes it's not according to our soul blueprint, but according to the ego's desires.
Instead, focus on enlightenment until the seeker and that which is sought become one. Naturally, you will become much more aligned with your soul's blueprint for this life (goals, aspirations, dreams, life work).
Entry 2,374
At many levels of consciousness, scripting and hypnosis are extremely helpful. What you do is identify any negative beliefs that you have and then create a script of affirmations that are the positive affirmations to cancel out the negative ones.
HOWEVER, when one eventually gets to a level of consciousness where a predominant amount of their beliefs are all positive, there is a temptation to continue to script every little detail in their life, but that takes away the mystery and surprise life is trying to gift you at every single moment.
Using scripting in that way, you utilize your ego to micro-manage instead of letting the universe give.
This is an important distinction and worth speaking on.
There were many months where I no longer needed to script positive affirmations to cancel negative beliefs, so I spent that time scripting every single step of the future.
Not only did it take away the mysterious unfolding of the future, but it also caused unnecessary detours when I didn't need to go down those roads.
Our job is not to know how it comes to us, but to trust that the universe knows our soul blueprint to a T, and when we align in oneness with the universe, we surrender to letting the universe surprise us with it.
Trust me when I say it is SO much more exciting, joyful, and exhilarating to be led step by step by the universe than to have your ego pick every little thing it thinks is best for you.

Quotes from Huang Po:
The Buddha admonished him, saying: "If you pursue knowledge for a thousand days, that will avail you less than one day's proper study of the Way. If you do not study it, you will be unable to digest even a single drop of water!"
Mind is the Buddha, while the cessation of conceptual thought is the Way. Once you stop arousing concepts and thinking in terms of existence and non-existence, long and short, other and self, active and passive, and suchlike, you will find that your Mind is intrinsically the Buddha, that the Buddha is intrinsically Mind, and that Mind resembles a void. [Meaning intangible, not a mere negation.]
All the Buddha's teachings just had this single object—To carry us beyond the stage of thought. Now, if I accomplish cessation of my thinking, what use to me the Dharmas Buddha taught?
"The moment of realizing the unity of Mind and the 'substance' which constitutes reality may truly be said to baffle description."
Only when you have abandoned all perceptions, there being nothing objective to perceive; only when phenomena obstruct you no longer; only when you have rid yourself of the whole gamut of dualistic concepts of the 'ignorant' and 'Enlightened' category, will you at last earn the title of Transcendental Buddha.
Therefore is it written: "Your prostrations are in vain. Put no faith in such ceremonies. Hie from such false beliefs."
Since Mind knows no divisions into separate entities, phenomena must be equally undifferentiated. Since Mind is above all activities, so must it be with phenomena. Every phenomenon that exists is a creation of thought; therefore I need but empty my mind to discover that all of them are void.
It is the same with all sense objects, to whichever of the myriads of categories they belong. The entire void stretching out in all directions is of one substance with Mind; and, since Mind is fundamentally undifferentiated, so must it be with everything else.
Only one entirely liberated from concepts can possess a body of infinite extent. All conceptual thinking is called erroneous belief. The upholders of such false doctrines delight in a multiplicity of concepts, but the Bodhisattva remains unmoved amid a whole host of them.
Those who seek the Dharma [Truth] must not seek from the Buddha, nor from the Dharma [Doctrine], nor from the Sangha. They should seek from nowhere. When the Buddha is not sought, there is no Buddha to be found!
When the Dharma is not sought, there is no Dharma to be found! When the Sangha is not sought, there is no Sangha!
You have always been one with the Buddha, so do not pretend you can ATTAIN to this oneness by various practices. [We cannot BECOME what we have always been; we can only become intuitively aware of our original state, previously hidden from us by the clouds of maya.]
Q: At this very moment, all sorts of erroneous thoughts are constantly flowing through our minds. How can you speak of our having none?
A: Error has no substance; it is entirely the product of your own thinking. If you know that Mind is the Buddha and that Mind is fundamentally without error, whenever thoughts arise, you will be fully convinced that THEY are responsible of errors. If you could prevent all conceptual movements of thought and still your thinking-processes, naturally there would be no error left in you.
Therefore is it said: "When thoughts arise, then do all things arise. When thoughts vanish, then do all things vanish."
Phenomena do not arise independently but rely upon environment.
[I.e. the mental environment created by us.] And it is their appearing as objects which necessitates all sorts of individualized knowledge.
Q: If I follow this Way, and refrain from intellectual processes and conceptual thinking, shall I be certain of attaining the goal?
A: Such non-intellection IS following the Way! Why this talk of attaining and not attaining? The matter is thus—by thinking of something you create an entity and by thinking of nothing you create another. Let such erroneous thinking perish utterly, and then nothing will remain for you to go seeking!
Thus, Bodhidharma sat rapt in meditation before a wall; he did not seek to lead people into having opinions. Therefore it is written: "To put out of mind even the principle from which action springs is the true teaching of the Buddhas, while dualism belongs to the sphere of demons."
Our true nature is something never lost to you even in moments of delusion, nor is it gained at the moment of Enlightenment. It is the Nature of the Bhutatathata. In it is neither delusion nor right understanding.
It fills the Void everywhere and is intrinsically of the substance of the One Mind. How, then, can your mind-created objects exist outside the Void? The Void is fundamentally without spacial dimensions, passions, activities, delusions, or right understanding.
You must clearly understand that in it there are no things, no men, and no Buddhas; for this Void contains not the smallest hairsbreadth of anything that can be viewed spacially; it depends on nothing and is attached to nothing.
It is all-pervading, spotless beauty; it is the self-existent and uncreated Absolute.
Then how can it even be a matter for discussion that the REAL Buddha has no mouth and preaches no Dharma, or that REAL hearing requires no ears, for who could hear it?
Ah, it is a jewel beyond all price!
[This passage in which the Master comes as near as possible to describing the indescribable, using terms as "all-pervading spotless beauty," should be sufficient answer to those critics of Buddhist "pessimism" who suppose that the doctrine of Sunyata or voidness equates Nirvana with total extinction.]
Entry 2,376 - December 1, 2024
I had a realization about perfection.
If everything experienced by a human is naturally subjective...
Then that means a human being perfect, will ALWAYS be subjective.
Everyone will have a different point of view of what entails perfect behavior, a perfect body, a perfect life would look like from their perspective.
I think the way people conceptualize perfection is inherently wrong because it attempts to create a word that represents a person that doesn't make mistakes, which is inherently not based in reality.
In our physical reality as humans on this earth, duality exists at all times outwardly. The good and the bad, the right and the wrong, are things we experience at varying levels. That duality shifts based on each person's individualized perception.
People who say Jesus was perfect are, unbeknownst to themselves, denying him of his full humanity. To be human is to make mistakes. We are all inherently flawed and learn through those flaws. Flaws are as important as our successes because they are what make us humans. Without mistakes, one is not a human.
Learning is a byproduct of having flaws. Without anything to learn, one is not human.
Learning and teaching are both dualistic and rooted in the human experience. To say a human doesn't have one is to deny his humanity for a life that is far from human.
