New Traveler - Question on Subsequent Sessions

[Lopsided Nobody]

Hello Everybody,

I'm a fairly recent first-time traveler, so to speak. Looking forward to learning more. My one question is, after the initial journey and breakthrough, what more do you learn or in what ways have you grown from subsequent sessions.

Welcome aboard, friend.  I've come to the understanding that it's not the number of journeys one embarks upon that is most important, with the sacred 5 medicine, it's the integration and actualization of the profound insights and epiphanies that matters the most.  Moving from our dualistic state of perception, to the nondual, unitive field,  can be overwhelming and confusing after the epic voyage culminates.   Finding buoyancy and balance are key to our spiritual attunement and this takes some powerful internal house cleaning.  It's like endlessly polishing the mirror of one's soul.   Aho.  🙏✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Thanks for that. I believe I have a sense of that. For me, thus far, it's been balancing the felt sense that we are all of the divine, or of the same substance, and yet I am also "me." The experience both raises questions and offers, not necessarily "knowledge" so much as an experience. For me it a very "unitive" experience, both feeling one with creation but also getting a sense that we are all connected and part of everything (which is obvious in some regards, but certainly felt profound in the moment). I am me and yet a part of me, and "me" did not exist.

I suppose my takeaway from that at present is what do I take from that, and how can/do I keep using that experience to "polish the mirror of my soul?" Not that there is an easy ready-made answer for that, but it's something to consider. I also feel like the immediate post-integration was great, but it is an experience that I am still mulling over and think about quite regularly

This is where we pilgrims of Spiritus find a kind of circular logic presented from the cosmic teachings conveyed by the profundity of the nondual experience, via paradoxes ad infinitum.  I must also emphasize that it's not just chemically emboldened psychonautical voyagers who arrive at this same conundrum:  as monks, mystics, madmen and mediums also come point blank, face to face, with this mysterious irony.  I encapsulate it within my thoughts, as being that Aha Moment, whereby it becomes crystal clear that the holistic nature of the Omniverse, both immortalizes the individual and erases the individuated perception of the seeker as if he or she were merely a dream sequence, one without any reality or lasting permanence.  And while all that exists is Sacred and within such perfection, it's not fixed nor is limited by any form, contained substance nor strata of manifestation...  yet, this very sacredness creates, fully embodies and eventually re-absorbs the entirety of all phenomena back into the emptiness of the Clear Light of The Void.

It gradually becomes palpable to those who journey into Samadhi states, that God / Brahman/ Source / The Great Spirit/ The Eternal Tao...  is all that is in it's vast, limitless, causation.  I am, or seem to believe myself to be real, but that very personification is an illusion I experience as myself.  A dreamscape within an infinity of perpetual dreamscapes.  Even so, what becomes evident is that a divine presence permeates every iota of said illusion of oneself.  Yes, we are unreal when seen from a pure quantum level, while simultaneously, we are manifestations of the Absolute at play within the web of the relativity, itself a universal mirror of sorts.  Both the causative force which sounds the primordial first note, and the endless echoing of that Holy sonic vibration.

"I suppose my takeaway from that at present is what do I take from that, and how can/do I keep using that experience to "polish the mirror of my soul?" Not that there is an easy ready-made answer for that, but it's something to consider. I also feel like the immediate post-integration was great, but it is an experience that I am still mulling over and think about quite regularly."

I humbly feel that  what we are compelled to do is to make an assessment about how we do, or do not hold this mysterious revelation/ conclusion quite near and dear (keeping it as a secret treasure), said "polishing the mirror of one's soul" becomes a bonafide spiritual pathway, by earnestly bringing into clearer focus our very actions and intentions.  It might be likely that we are both mere phantoms and are also, living Gods and Goddesses manifesting this entire glorious masterpiece of living throughout the multiplicity of myriad dimensions?  By perpetually reminding ourselves to continue honing our attention and  dusting off the near ceaseless accumulation of illusory dust that existing within a dualistic paradigmn stirs up.  Yet, I feel that it's best for those of who spin our wheels within the sometimes contradictory, after-effects of mystical entrancement,  to embrace this paradox as a magical dance.  Or perhaps even as an eternal song? 

It requires honoring the focus of perception, discovering the thread of interconnection and cultivate soulful attunement within this complex dream of manifest  creation, whilst shattering said mirror...  into infinitesimally tiny light particles dissolving into sheerest formlessness.  Now, you are most astute in saying that there are never any genuine readymade answers.  Every effort we now make to understand how to integrate the experience of Unity and its mirrored twin, Emptiness...  often seems like a merry-go-round of mental gymnastics.  And surely, it really is if we are being 100% objective.  Only in the depth of silence can be heard the Omniscient vibration and while a subjective merging happens by following the scintillating reverberations of the roaring silence, within the fulcrum of the nondual,  timelessly hums the voice of infinity.  So, the internal journey becomes a sort of daily calling, a soul mission if you will, to find that divine note being struck endlessly within the grand orchestration of this vast and diverse fabric of universal being, becoming and eventual dissolution.  It may well be so, and I honestly do realize that I may  more full of shit than a barrel full of monkey poop, but I offer 100% sincerity, which is my intended goal. Yeah, it's just my blah, blah, blah but it comes straight from my mind's heart.  Lol.   😁

A-ho and Namaskar.  I see you and do honor you, my new friend.  👁
