It is vast and profound. It is always there, never closed on holidays or weekends. There is no login required. No monthly fees. And it is totally secure and private. Why not hang out there?! Give yourself a treat, go inside, go deep inside. Discover realities you never knew existed. Become friends with your mind, with your inner world. Hang out. Get to know your inner patterns that govern your speech and behavior. Become intimate. You have the power and authority to change what you don’t like. It takes guts. It takes patience. It takes diligence. But it is worth it, deeply worth it. Sit quietly every day and allow your mind to settle. Mornings are usually best. You don’t need to do anything. Just be. Just be still without judgment, without expectation. Just observe. Relax and be happy. @mindfulness HH escaping the Chinese army in Tibet, crossing the border into India, tasting freedom. Emaho! D LAMA  ################# B MIND VIPASSANA: SEEING THE TRUTH One of the most popular [practice] methods in Bhutan is chanting mantras. Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum. Om Mani Padme Hum. Yes, believe it or not this is also vipassana. Many, many reasons. For one, when you are chanting "Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum", even for, I don't know, one time, during that time you are saved from talking nonsense. You could be talking nonsense, you could be just gossiping, you could be slandering, you could be lying, you could be cheating. But instead, okay, you're not really thinking about Guru Rinpoche, you're not thinking about compassion, you're not thinking about anything called holy but [with] "Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum" your mouth is occupied. Even from that sense, it brings you closer to the truth.

So what exactly happens when someone has a spiritual awakening or enlightenment? Please no metaphors or intangible answers, what literally happens to the self?

You have to love the hubris of this questioner, insisting on a clear, verbal mind-tangible answer for that which can only be directly apperceived, directly lived.

Let see if, by substituting a few simple nouns, we can help this person out.

So what exactly happens when someone falls asleep at night? Please no metaphors or intangible answers, where does consciousness literally go?

So what exactly happens when someone feels deep love inside them? Please no metaphors or intangible answers, where does love literally come from?

I’ve never tasted sugar. Can you tell me what exactly sugar tastes like? Please no metaphors (“It’s like granulated bliss!”:-) or intangible answers, what, literally, does sugar taste like?

So what exactly happens when someone is alive? Please no metaphors or intangible answers, what, literally does it feel like to be alive?

The “self,’ as you call it, it just an illusion. There is no separate entity you or I can locate, called the “self,” or the “ego,” or the “I/Me.” So nothing happens to it. The false perception/belief that there is a separate “self/me” entity suddenly drops away, or ‘opens up,’ or ‘spreads out of the way,’ revealing true objective Reality, like the clouds spreading apart, revealing the Sun that was always there. Too metaphorical?

OK. You come in from a sunny walk where you saw your shadow everywhere, and look in the mirror or feel your body. The shadow has disappeared, and you realize it was just an illusion. And as you look into the mirror or caress your body, you know what you really are. Too intangible?

OK. You have an all-encompassing, permanent perceptual shift where you apperceive directly (not know intellectually) that although there appears to be a real Reality of phenomena rising & falling, there is no entity ‘creating it,’ no ‘time’ in which it’s happening, and no self-contained “you” standing separate from the phenomena as subject-object…and never was. The separate “self” was always an imagined location, the phenomena were just happening without an observer or awareness, and it’s all just spontaneous function with no ‘reason’ or ‘purpose.’

That would probably be considered a pretty precise answer, with no metaphors and minimized intangibilities.

And reading it, you now have no more idea or experience of spiritual awakening or enlightenment than you had before reading it. 😳

Intangible? Yes! ineffable? You bet! Unexplainable and un-‘experience’-able? Unquestionably!

I’m not sure why you even want some literal, exact spoken description of spiritual awakening or enlightenment…and it would more than prudent of you to ask yourself that question. If you ask it deep enough, you will actually have a revelatory shift like the one I’m failing miserably to describe.

But the answer to your question is available. And it is available only to You. And it is available only directly, without any scriptural or Quoral description by ‘others.’ And it is available right Now!

During the last Ice Age, much of the UK was covered with a layer of ice up to kilometre deep, or by enormous glacial lakes. Certainly in northern parts, there was no vegetation as glaciers scraped their way across the landscape.  So much water was locked up in the glaciers that sea levels dropped dramatically; we were connected to Europe by areas such as Doggerland

"Before I manage to really wear myself down on a walk, there is often so much to think about. Children, work, unanswered messages. When my strength is reduced, I no longer have the resources to think about much, and that’s when the smells, the sounds and the ground seem to draw much closer to my experience. It’s as if my senses open to their surroundings."

War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage (1996) by the archaeologist Lawrence Keeley changed that, presenting abundant archaeological and other data to show that early small-scale societies were as aggressive as societies today. Archaeological studies since have proved Keeley’s point.

In the Shadow of Slavery: Africa’s Botanical Legacy in the Atlantic World (2009), co-authored with Richard Nicholas Rosomoff, she argues that those who were trying to start livestock businesses in the Americas needed people with livestock management skills, so they targeted slaves from Senegambia (in western Africa) where cattle herding was the primary livelihood. The historian Joseph Holloway of California State University Northridge has described the African livestock-management techniques, introduced by African captives, that are still used in the Americas today.

########################

the Reality of a spiritual state is verifiable both from “within” (experiential subjectivity) and from “without” (confirmable objectivity), i.e., validated by Descartes’ res interna (cogitans) as well as res extensa (the world as it is)

######################

The ultimate Truth is radically subjective and also confirmable by consciousness research. Both ways will be described in the sequence of their emergence with the development of an empirical science of consciousness. Subjective, experiential mystical states of advanced awareness and enlightenment can now be verified objectively by a method that transcends both time and place
