HELP ME!! I'm Enlightened and I Want It to STOP!
    #9443876 - 12/16/08 01:43 PM (15 years, 3 months ago)

Over the past several years, I've tried my damnedest to NOT be enlightened.  I've even gone so far as electroshock treatments (just burned my scalp and caused pain) and giving myself numerous concussions (my stupid friends called an ambulance on two separate occasions even though I told them that I couldn't afford it!!).  I watch mindless television programs, read celebrity gossip magazines, played endless hours of online video games, and taken several "sure thing" prescription drugs (Prozac, etc.) and homeopathic remedies.

NOTHING has worked. 


Any suggestions?  Please keep in mind that I am trying to AVOID PAIN in my plan to stop thinking.  And before anyone suggests it, YES, I have been to a therapist (three, actually) - they don't seem to understand what I want.

I'm quite serious.

I just need a break.  For a few months, at least.  If the process is not reversible, I'm fine with it.

Is this a joke?


--------------------
This reminds me of the ludicrous account he gave Mr. Langton, of the despicable state of a young gentleman of good family. “Sir, when I heard of him last, he was running about town shooting cats.” And then in a sort of kindly reverie, he bethought himself of his own favorite cat, and said, “But Hodge shan’t be shot: no, no, Hodge shall not be shot.”

hello,

Maybe it would help if you thought of it as awareness, rather than (purposefully?) obscuring the idea with the word enlightenment. Then you can be open to helping yourself, rather than numbing yourself; and fellow posters will be able to offer advice of what you can do.

It's definitely enlightenment.  No question.
I'm not looking for comprehension or a challenge... I just want it to stop.

Any advice that works is MUCH APPRECIATED!
Though if it works, you probably won't hear from me again.

Symptoms... okay, well, I can't stop making connections to EVERYTHING around me.  I can feel plants.  I know what people are thinking with just a glance.  I know the outcome of any Rube-Goldberg-type scenario BEFORE it happens.

It's too much pressure.  I've been put into a position of great power (whatever, right?) and I feel obligated to use them to help.  BUT I have failed to help on many occasions... I can't choose to help everyone all the time.  So I've had to make LIFE OR DEATH decisions FOR OTHER PEOPLE.  I could not abstain from intervening and not help ANYONE, but then I have to live with that on my mind.  I can no longer do this.

I just want to go back to normal.

Sounds like you have an energy problem.
You need to ground and meditate. The people on this site can probably help.

All punny business aside, I've poured myself into tedious, skill-less jobs to no avail.  In fact, I tend to dissociate and daydream MORE.  My body goes on doing this task, but my mind wanders off into the ether... and I STAY WITH MY MIND!  It really sucks.  To see yourself not even thinking about what your body is doing... and being unable to join in on the mindlessness.

I advise entering into a depressively downward spiral of heroin addiction.  Works wonders, honestly.

Also, I'm trying to be NORMAL... not an addict.  I rarely do drugs these days.

You might want to scour this site for something that may help you: http://spiritualemergency.blogspot.com/

You should probably refer to your experience as a "spiritual crises" or "kundalini experience"; just so you will be taken a little more seriously.

But you are normal..
You broke free from the addictive behavioral patterns of everyday living by the tv and doing spiritually and intellectually  unchallenged activities.
That is being normal..
You just feel the way you do , because there are many who dont.
It is a larger separation which caused the progress..
And now a minor one is causing thoughts of regression.

I dont know how to advise you on what you want.
And probably wouldnt even if i did..

I am sorry for not meeting you expectations..
Nobody will tell you how to become unaware and disconnected again..
Normal ??
It has forsaken these lands :smile:


" A thousand years is but an instant. There's nothing new, nothing different. The same pattern over and over. The same clouds, the same music, the same insight I felt an hour or an eternity ago. There's nothing here for me now, nothing at all. Now I remember. This happened to me before. This is why I left. You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult, the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as fully as possible, knowing it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe, savor the input from all the senses, feel the joy and sorrow, the laughter, the empathy, compassion and tote the emotional memory in your travel bag. I remember where I came from and how I became a human, why I hung around, and now my final departure is scheduled. This way out. Escaping velocity. Not just eternity, but infinity. "

It's all the obligation.

Why should I HAVE to do anything different?
I don't want to role play.  I don't want to fix the world.  I don't want to be the guardian angel.  I don't want to feel terrible because I didn't step in when I could have... or because I had to make a choice to intervene for one person instead of another. 

I just want to exist.

It's not a feeling, but a force of sorts.

The locus of my being gravitates to those in need, those in trouble, those in the crosshairs of impending doom, and so on.  The pull is immense.  I cannot explain precisely.  It's like explaining an acid trip to someone who has never taken an entheogen.

The only way I'd really put it is you do what you got to do.  Basing yourself around that judgement is just going to put you in the same spot before you even did anything keep you mind open.

Until you are here there is no way to get here.
Once you are here there is no way to go." ~Yuan Mei

My advice would be to relax.  Seek balance through diet and exercise.  Learn how to meditate following the breath.  Read.  And try to find a good teacher, perhaps at a local Buddhist center.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

why do you feel obligated to have to do/be these things?



It's not a feeling, but a force of sorts.

The locus of my being gravitates to those in need, those in trouble, those in the crosshairs of impending doom, and so on.  The pull is immense.  I cannot explain precisely.  It's like explaining an acid trip to someone who has never taken an entheogen.




how do you know this 'force' isn't a subconscious desire that you mistake as something else?  desires often force us into doing things or acting in ways we ultimately do not want to do.

or i could be completely misunderstanding :shrug:

I have no subconscious.

I can even feel chemical reactions... hormones... electrolytes... it's impossible to explain.  Doctors thought I was playing a prank on them... they were rather freaked out.  I'll spare you that story.

I had this problem a few years back. I call it my "messianic" days. I know this force that you speak of. For me, what cured it, was simply time. After I didn't want the obligation anymore, that force just started going away.

Over the past several years, I've tried my damnedest to NOT be enlightened.  I've even gone so far as electroshock treatments (just burned my scalp and caused pain) and giving myself numerous concussions (my stupid friends called an ambulance on two separate occasions even though I told them that I couldn't afford it!!).  I watch mindless television programs, read celebrity gossip magazines, played endless hours of online video games, and taken several "sure thing" prescription drugs (Prozac, etc.) and homeopathic remedies.

NOTHING has worked.


Any suggestions?  Please keep in mind that I am trying to AVOID PAIN in my plan to stop thinking.  And before anyone suggests it, YES, I have been to a therapist (three, actually) - they don't seem to understand what I want.




:grin: Thank you.

How about the very fact you cannot overcome your own metaphysical over-indulgence is indicative that you are not enlightened? Presumably, an "enlightened one" never succumbs to frustration, particularly in regards to his or her own state of affairs.

Wow man. I am in the same boat as you.... Its hard to deal with man, it really is. I have tried to stop it which is what I am trying to do now and it seems as though I only get crazier when I do. Like the nothingness is clouded replaced with madness.

I Have only been experiencing it fully it for about 5 months but it is not what I expected. I wanted to know the truth so bad its like I killed myself to find it. It is cool sometimes but it seems with the way the world is today that it is debilitating and rather boring. I mean I am only 18 and I feel like I am done with everything so I am getting really sick of being here. I am trying to fall back into society, get a job, go to school all that stuff but it seems like so much bullshit and something I don't want to do.

I am thinking the process is irreversible though. Think of it like a ball of yarn with the truth in the middle. The yarn is what you thought you were. Your false identity(ego). Overtime you unrolled the yarn. At first small bits at a time then eventually you start unrolling it faster and faster until the yarn is completely gone and there is nothing left. Your entire ego is demolished. Your false self is all gone. It has been killed and it is not coming back. ate by the K snake never to be regurgitated. The nothingness or bliss is your true self.

There might be ways though. Still anything is possible. If you want to turn it off I would say try looking into the drug ibogaine. I was thinking about trying that for awhile. It is used for people with addictions to opiates and basically rewires the brain. If it can help with that it might be possible to stop kundalini and go back to an older way of thinking. I am not sure it would work so do your research.

I just want to make sure you feel like me... Do you feel like you are above everything? Like people are walking around inside you? Do you feel like pure light sometimes and like you have no self at all?

Just know you aren't alone though man. I have been doing the same thing... Playing video games, trying to make myself stupid but nothing seems to work. I can't even remember who I once was. I mean I still go to parties and stuff and It is hard being so different. Makes me feel dumb that I killed myself before I even got to have fun and do cool mindless stuff.

I have also been wondering if I am just schizophrenic which I am pretty sure I'm not even though Kundalini and schizophrenia are very similar. :crazy:

It is like we are dead though man. Ego death and actual death are basically the same thing as far as I am concerned... You know how they say go to the light when you die? Well we did that while alive

I am just as confused as you on what to do. I thought being enlightened or whatever you want to call it would make life great and more enjoyable but it just makes everything the same. Everything looks the same, no emotion, no fun, no anything just nothingness and bliss and on bad times darkness.

I think we might just have to accept it and just be are entire lives which is depressing if you think about it from a lower perspective.

If you find anything that helps let me know. I feel like I am going crazy right now and really have no clue what to do.

Just ask an agent to put you back into the matrix.  Make sure that you specify a memory-wipe, though, or the cognitive dissonance will destroy you.

You might try grounding without involving the upper chakras. Just belly breathe and allow your root to take the energy. Upper chakras may be open, but how they feel and affect you is dependent on the condition of the lower chakras. If your lower chakras are having problems, your upper chakras are too.

Honestly, I would relax and enjoy it while it lasts. People don't need saving. I mean, if you could occasionally save a life here or there, hey great, but for the most part people experience trouble because of the choices they make. Let them. Unless of course, they specifically ask for help, why should you feel obligated?

I just feel like I am stuck outside the box.. I don't want to be back in it I just want to be anchored to it where I can real myself back into when I choose...

Listen to Nickelback 24/7 until feelings of enlightenment subside. This should take 3-4 days. Stop listening to Nickelback once symptoms disappear.

Well, stop trying. You are not enlightened so don't waste your time.

It seems you are simply bothered by your awareness of the world around you. You CHOOSE to be bothered by this. Make a new choice. Get over it or find yourself a padded room.

If you are trying to treat your enlightenment, you are treating the wrong symptom. Treat your depression. Treat your anxiety. Treat your delusions of grandeur. You are not enlightened.

This is the wrong forum for such a topic. We shouldn't talk about people personally in here, and this is a STRICTLY personal topic.

Good luck Sclorch and good to see you again.

Sclorch I think a few people got it right, I did not read all of the responses.

You don't need to numb this stuff out or dumb down. What you really need to do is reflect on these feelings and meditate on them until you can come to a resolve. If meditation does not work perhaps you should try to take some kind of antidepressant or OCD medication. It sounds like you are obsessing on these feelings of 'enlightenment', whether or not they are truly that is another discussion.

Either meditate or medicate. Seems pretty clear cut eh?

sclorch, whats up dude :O 

my advice: hit the gym, get back into your muscles and skin.

also, I don't know if you've tried this, but, move away.  physically relocate.  When I get too comfortable in the same spot I always start to play mindgames with myself.

You have what I have been searching for my entire life?!?!?! And you DON'T want it. Damn your ungrateful. It sounds like you have an over-active crown and third eye and an underactive lower chakras, you need some grounding. Get some help from a reiki practitioner, it is all you can really do. The connections won't stop, but it will be bearable. Also, if you are ever disliking an awareness, an ego death can help, on the other hand it can blow your third eye (if it isn't already.). Do you have any sort of HPPD? If so, your third eye and/or crown chakra is over-active. You do not want to decrease how active the chakra is, you want to get it in balance with the rest, so strengthen the other chakras.

You sound narcissistic to me and closer to depression than a problem of thinking to much.  Enlightenment produces joy. "Epiphanies" that deliver negative conclusions bring depression.  Realize that whatever enlightenment/epiphanies you feel are bullshit because we are not capable of really knowing anything and what you are experiencing is depression. 

Don't give yourself brain damage just keep seeking help.  Best of luck and I know how you feel.  But be honest with yourself.

go to a psychiactric ward and section yourself
explain your symptoms
act out your mind

you will be treated to a five star stay at the best mentalz institutions for an undefined period, upon your release you will be prescribed anti-psychotic drugs which should ratchet you down to zero and the zombified everyman state which you seem to miss so sorely.

hey presto! problem solved.

if for some reason this won't work then just act out the crazy, exacerbate any psychotic or unusual symptoms, act against the grain - have a public psychotic break. act weird around family, mention one time you are on ten hits of acid then attack a family member (a non-blood relation would be best) hopefully they will section you and you will be treated more seriously (you will) than in scenario one.

i can't believe i am describing these eventualities in a positive you-can-make-it-if-you-try fashion tbh but if you really want out that badly then this is what you want to be doing

you need them anti-psychotic droogz! but don't worry, its not like drug abuse when its prescription.

This thread isn't ridiculous, or a joke. What you are looking at is one confused person trying to find themselves, and also providing a mirror for us to look into. It's a struggle we all share, to excape maya, to transcend the painful reality we have been given, and have perpetuated. Enlightenment is a state of true Love, and there is no pain in that reality. People are meant to be sensitive. It's a good thing. Many people want to ignore it, to seek pleasure (or numbness) and avoid pain, to call this seeking of Love a joke, to view the height of enlightenment as a painful place, not meant for humans... to live their lives in ignorance... and lies.

Meditation, psychedelics, etc. get a person to the doorway. In this doorway, all the repressed pain, and lies of the past, will begin to surface. Good work.:thumbup::laugh:

But this is not the time to stop. It's actually the opportunity that was worked for. Now that Samatha was successful, something else is needed.

Yeah I agree, this is what's going on here.  I had a friend sorta like this, but he killed himself.  I would personally choose suicide over a padded cell.  That would really be a living hell. 

If you don't want to die, I'd recommend taking xanax, opiates, and anti-psychotic drugs everyday.  Opiates are the only drug I know of that numbs you and will help you not give a shit.

Maybe your twin soul has remained in the spirit world and is having a hard time dealing with the separation and is trying to hang onto your spirit energy too much.  You can meet your twin soul when you are both in human form and not recognize him/her immediately.  Over time you may wonder why you are so obsessed with this person until you realize there is some kind of spiritual connection between you two.  When trying to observe this connection, you may notice that you both have vibrational patterns and they are identical.  You look at him/her and can see yourself in spirit like looking into a mirror.  You may be startled when you realize that you are sharing the same soul somehow.  Its seems absurd, but you know this.  How is this paradox possible?  It must be one soul experiencing multiple personality complete with two human bodies, one for each personality.  You may then start remembering things from before this lifetime.  You may remember being with them in a previous lifetime.  You remember you both came from some glorious and holy place in the spirit world (heaven?).  Your believe your connection is sacred and leads back to the source.  The experience is so intense that most people can't stand it and most twin souls when meeting in human form become separated.

if you were truly enlightened, you would not need a 'break' from it.

you seem to be describing anxiety, or a case of 'thinking about stuff'. Use this and change your thoughts from negative to positive.

Try the book: Change your thoughts, change your life" by wayne dyer.

ok scorch. first off how old are you? second is this a psychedelic induced enlightenment? or did it just happen?

my advice to you is meditate my amigo.

it sounds like your overwhelmed by your higher consciousness and i can see how you would just want to me normal as 90% of the population is stuck in a lower consciousness state of mind.

so it looks like your stuck. you should be happy, most people never even get a glimps of what you are experiencing daily.

Sit lotus position. breath in, exhale, breath in, exhale. so this for a good hour. focus only on your breaths. if you find your mind wandering check yourself and keep following your breaths. do this untill you dont think at all and are just aware of your inhales and exhales.
i would say start at least a hour a day.

vipassana meditation will surley save you too.

i had a friend that was the guy who could always do the most drugs or whatever. he was hardcore but he payed for it later. he ended up having sever nervous system problems and developed a uncomfortable mental.

the only thing that saved him from suicide was vipassana meditation. look into it. there are free week long courses all around the country, and only ask for a donation if affordable. vipassana is where you meditate for a week straight. only breaking to eat. your not allowed to talk, move(unless you have to), or look at each other. just eyes closed solid meditation. truly a amazing experience.

didn't read thread.

take time to come up with beliefs and explanations for why you're not enlightened, or how bothersome perceptions may not be accurate.

then work on ignoring them, using counter beliefs and explanations to neutralize your feelings of enlightenment.

its a long process to reprogram your subconscious.  there are probably quiet moments when you are functioning the way you want to function. 

keep focusing on those moments, and keep telling yourself that you're wrong about your expanded awareness.

substitute one set of beliefs for another and perception will follow.  find activities that make you feel normal, and focus on being normal while doing them.

you have to focus, you have to want to change, you have to have a good understanding for what should change, and then you just have to keep repeating to yourself over and over what you want to be.

read some replies.

IMO meditation is a bad idea.  you don't want to do anything that opens you up more or gets your brain going.

meditation can cause mild to severe negative reactions in some people.  Its defintely not a cure all.

i suspect most people find meditation harmless because their minds are weak.  i've gotten about as high off meditation as tripping, and its alot scarier because you're doing it to yourself and once it starts you have to use your brain to stop it.

Well, you are biased. It's like saying don't take drugs or you could go crazy; the odds are low and the gain of trying it out outweighs the chance of a bad trip while meditating.

It's good advice if you ask me, but who am I to say?

I think the people that end up with problems from drugs/meditation need to find ways to use their sixth sense to their advantage. Stop bothering with the negative aspects and turn them into positive. Easier said that done, but meditation can help that.

Many different ways to meditate. The weakness is in continuing to make the same mistakes.

IME, people find that kundalini meditation works and they think it's the be all end all. So they push it. Once it's perceived as dangerous, they may either try harder (perhaps not so good) or they quit (perhaps not so good).

It would be a good idea, at that point, to consider further education, instead of finding a way out.

I want to give advice. But it won't probably be heard. For people with strong spiritual propensities they need a good daily practice which rather points out what's important and allows one to relax their mind and be calm. This is not so difficult but what is hard is finding a teacher with a practice that one feels really good about. For myself I found TM until Maharishi and his org fell to pieces then I turned Buddhist and found Kunzang Lingpa a very liberated being, to my mind. He gave me a practice and told me to do it seven years. I liked the practice. I do it. I feel okay with all things spiritual now having cut through all diversity to see the natural clarity of the moment - itself which is full of joy, if you can calm the mind and heart and just let it be. Some of this - just letting it be - is perhaps some of the essence of wisdom. Some enlightened individuals still do a daily practice, yes, to remind them.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Just keep helping people and feeling up plants.  Youve permanently altered your mind for the good.  Just go with the flow.  Dont worry, I think you'll find your enlightenment quite useful in the coming days.
