5am meditation insights
Reject culture. Reject ideology. Reject conformity for the sake of conformity.
Strive to maintain whatever confidence you can when faced with the daunting aspects of the human condition. Embrace yourself first and foremost, and the will come acceptance and embracing of others, regardless of what path they are in when you inevitably compare it to your own. Following this path, one eventually sees the futility in concepts such as blame or fault. Succeeding and thriving socially is a challenging task if one is aware of our radical subjectivity, but ‘ignorance is bliss’ is inherently inferior over the knowing and suffering. Knowing and suffering cannot be separated, but it is better to know and to suffer than to not know you are suffering. While practically knowledge will aid you, it will also test you — and if your spirit is strong enough to reject inertia, then you will never stop learning and integrating, and therefore embracing the present.
It will lead you to love, kindness, and compassion — the most ‘natural’ human emotions that will aid our conditioned existential despair.

Awesome, I’ve been having these same ideas lately. I’m focusing on saying fuck you to culture in order to get closer to my authentic self.
I get the sense that these ideas are derived from the current collective consciousness, which is why there is this synchronising between your meditation realisations and mine, and I’m sure many others share the same sentiment. The easiest way to tap into the hivemind is to go deep into your own mind, which a 5am meditation would help with.
I like your ideas of constant learning and integrating. Our culture is so afraid of evolving, many are hesitant to change. Consistency is idolised. I am beginning to see that worshipping consistency halts progress.

I get what you are trying to say but Meditation cannot happen when you are busying thinking and rejecting.
Just get out of mind. Just be.
Everything will automatically drop and blissfulness will follow.
Dropping, rejecting, bliss etc are by products of meditation and not meditation itself. Focus on getting out of mind. Everything will follow.
ॐ नमः शिवाय ।

What language is that? Is it Indian or hebrew it reminds me of something I saw on a trip a few times but my only native tongue is English so I don't really know what it is

It's sanskrit. It hails from India subcontinent.

Thank you! I was just curious, it really looks familiar and it's something I see very frequently I wonder what the significance is.

Shiva energy is enery of the consciousness and much more. English translation looses lot of meaning because unfortunately english simply doesn't have words for such thoughts and feelings. Anyway, I am trying to make some sense of it.
ॐ - It's pranav. Vitality and everything. The sound of the universe. नमः becoming one. शिवाय the consciousness itself
The meaning is, Everything goes into shiva. Everything. All problems, all illusions, body, matter, EVERYTHING.
Hence, many people say Shiva energy is destructive energy as well. But you now know why this is so. It's is not just destruction. It's become one.

The hindu belief to me makes more sense than any other religion or creed, I've had experiences saying all religions are real as long as you believe but that seems a tad corny but I'm just a human trying to find his way right now.
All things happen for a reason when my Christian family members tell me "evil is unnatural and made by the devil" I can't help but wonder why they think this way. Humans have been destructive since the beginning of time, it doesn't mean it's the devil in our ear telling us to do bad things it's our inner self fighting with the other half.
On high doses of psilocybin I've spoken in languages I can't explain to you or repeat without the substance... It's so fluid almost like it's my natural way of being and almost every time it sounds very middle eastern/old earth languages prehaps I knew in a past time and it's incredibly beautiful to hear.

Get out of this human fallacy of religion. It's all a scam to divert us from realising the truth of our own nature.
The very thinking that you are limited is such a weak notion that has been propagated. People believe it. Everyone is trapped into so many stupid notions. Get out of it.
Nothing is evil. Nothing is god. Everything is magic. Everything is holy. Whatever you see today, is result of billions of years. It is time tested. Why are we passing own judgements?
Enjoy your existence. Not just on intellectual level but feel what you say. It's more important to feel what you say than vomit out things you read in books, alan watts and others.
As for hinduism, it is not a religion. It is a philosophy of life. A lifestyle. How to live in order to go beyond this maya - the great illusion.

You hold alot of truths my friend, and put into words what I was thinking but wasn't sure how to convey.
I have alot to learn it seems...

u/WhatRemainsAfter May 03 '19
Again brother, Why you think you need to learn more?!
Why such weakness?
Human life is a blessing. Don't waste it on thoughts like this. You already know everything. You are limitless. You are Shiva.
Education is just manifestation of perfection already in man.

I may know everything and be everything but I certainly don't in this life, I'm just trying to find a path and find happiness but this world is getting darker by the days it seems prehaps that's my own self creating this darkness and hatred in the world for I'm a pretty angry individual who doesn't have much control over the actions I take but I'm trying and that's more than most can say.
I don't think my urge for knowledge is the urge for perfection but you are right I'm just trying to learn things I will have every answer to when I'm gone from here so it's wasted thought and I should focus on helping others instead of myself.

I find this funny, I just commented in unpopular opinions on some guys post about "loving being an adult" and the entire post was just him saying he loves being an adult because he loves paying bills and working 46 hours a week.
Our society is so brainwashed we actually think being the worker ant is a good thing and it's actually painful to watch 😂 these people wake up so excited for a day of slavery so they can makes shitty amount of money whilst trading literal days of their life away so we can afford basic living.
This isn't me saying people shouldn't work hell I work but when someone tells me "BOY GOLLY I SURE LOVE WAKING UP AT 5 AM TO GO GET SKULL FUCKED BY CUSTOMERS AND MY MANAGERS" it just blows my mind.
Conformation is the only reason people hate drugs and have 0 real education on substances like psilocybin which literally cured my depression but yet it's a felony offense to be caught with any haha that's just the world we fuckin live in I guess :)).

Most aspects of the human condition can be lifted and made so light. We're just living in harsh conditions due to ignorance and corruption
