good morning everybody be waking up at 4:30 a.m. every single day four or five
hours sleep only when you're constantly in Samadhi
no sleeping no need no need "okay so how did awakening change your body and
fitness"? I have way more energy and one of the difference is that really like
enlightenment experience like a full-blown enlightenment changes your
body completely like every particle is combusted blow up liker a nuclear weapon and
they reconstruct it and after you come back from like a big Cessation or
Nibbana you take a quantum leap in a whole new dimension
right this is the infamous food aspect to you Taiwan is like five minutes away
from the house I'm very fortunate and I'm giving this
fortune to my friend here Sebastian The abs section in this
gym is literally bigger than like 50% of the gym I've been to
your body just now automatically knows what to do to keep your healthy I
haven't drank I haven't watched porn not saying that I'm not going to do that
ever again because you know nothing is permanent tomorrow I might be a porn
star food-wise you know I just kind of
intuitively know my inner new Operating System just knows what to eat and then
what to lift how much to lift and how long to stay in the gym it's all automatic not
just the gym every action that I take now it feels like it's not me doing it
and then just let the force of nature do its thing which is everything 100% feels
like flow state there's no agency there's no center no agency and you just
do things and the way the character responds to an Enlightenment is
different for everybody so if you have a picture of what an enlightened being
looks like get it out of your head this this is nothing like you can ever
imagine. And for fitness wise yeah like I don't get out of breath anymore I can do
way more sets and I have zero attachment to the outcome of what I do in the gym
and because my body is totally holographic right now from the way I
experience it just cloud and smoke vibrating out of thin air so is
everything else so if this is empty and everything else is also empty so
everything is Flow
before when you were trapped in your head you spent a lot of energy and without
that inclination to remain a separate person to imagine yourself from even an Infinite Brah to a
Chesatbrah Bravo you have way more room and more energy
Way less tension there's not a single
particle in my body right now that isn't like completely empty in fact that's the
hallmark of full awakening when I talk about the lens of perception I'm not
just talking about like something that's in here you have to cleanse like the way
you perceive the world, it's the whole body that's what the Vipassana body
scanning was so powerful to me that's I think that one of the most powerful
techniques I started out with Vipassana when you scan every corner of
your body from head to toe and just doing that it really opens up your body
and then after that I started scanning the entire sensate experience
and the whole universe and the mind and emotions and you realize that
everything is just sensations vanishing in real time everything just flows
because everything that arises is vanishing simultaneously
free falling on Groundless Ground moment by moment by moment but that's
equivalent to Eternity in complete stillness
when everything is simultaneously full and empty then nothing is ever
arising or passing impermanence at the deepest level is also complete stillness
nothing was born and nothing died. Shout out to Conner Murphy for getting on the Path
takes a lot of courage so you've been talking about contemplative I mean what
does that mean? I think fitness is a really good metaphor because a lot of
people confuse meditation with intellectual exercise or just like an
act of imagination. When you get really deep into meditation there's a physicality to
it you actually feel like you're molding Reality you're molding your mind and your
body when you realize that there is no distinction no separation at
all between the mind the body the heart the world the whole universe and
everything's connected you feel like you're lifting and flexing the whole
universe. There's another similarity between Fitness and Contemplate Fitness
is that there are cycles there are stages
There are periodization there's macro cycles micro-cycles there's certain like peak
experiences I hit and certain Insight that you should be able to get. Direct
experiences is king. When I talk about spirituality now I try to describe my
moment to moment day to day walking around experience in real time because
90% of the people that talk about spirituality only talk about theories
like fitness you don't just read the bodybuilding magazines you actually have
to lift the weights when I try to read now either focus my infinite 360
awareness into that one tiny spot like a laser beam and stay super focused or else it's like
SHHHHH I gotta go zoom in really hard or else it just kind of evaporates
and concepts is one of those things that just becomes empty like your body
like your mind like everything. What about other aspects of
enlightenment? Like self development? could you clear up on? It's really
hard to say because there's like it's kind of like this weird
paradox it seems like there's nothing more to develop at the same time
there's there still is because the character is still here it's not like
you have an enlightenment and the character is transformed
right away the character would slowly sort of align himself to the Absolute in
a sense but in that process from my perspective now just seems like it's
gonna be automatic it doesn't feel like the character wants to
integrate this he has to do this and that it doesn't feel like. Because there's
no one here like oh absolutely no one it just feels like there's nothing to
integrate but there is kind of hard to put into words mm-hmm so
now you're just letting it sink in yeah I think I'm gonna enjoy like in my
honey moon phase
the moment of enlightenment it feels
like the whole universe is eating itself through and through like a cosmic snake biting
its own tail strange looping to infinity
I came downstairs to walk around I was like bobbling I was like a baby
learning how to walk because it's like the new "Self" was like so big. It's the whole thing
I'm still getting used to it
right now
the word "awareness" and "consciousness" it is totally not the same as
before it was like okay
awareness there's some kind of field. A field of consciousness right? but
then now it's just the bare phenomenon occurring just bare sensations. Bare Reality
because now sensations, awareness, reality, consciousness whatever
perception...it's all one thing it's not like there's some awareness
been aware of an object it's like that object is just is, it stands by itself
and liberates by itself and same with thoughts sounds everything mm-hmm and
all sensations stand on the same footing in the sense there's no more like
"sounds", "sights", "breath" it's this is One Thing this ultimately just one sense door
called "God's sense door" and it's just perceiving itself. Probably work out you
know why mm-hmm because when you work out you can meditate too
I still think you need to sit
you're not gonna be able to access like the 8th jhana while you are you
working out because you wouldn't be able to function so there's still benefits to
sitting so just find the middle way you know and that funny thing you mentioned
I was gonna talk about that about being mindful actually a lot of
people think like after like a full awakening...you can still not be
mindful your present 24/7 because there's nothing but Presence you know
you there's nothing but Now. That's so clear to me there's no futures no past
there's nothing but even the present moment does not exists because if you try
to find the nano second of the Now it's like squeezed into this non-existent moment
between the past and future. Someone asked me
Frank how do you even practice waking up how do you practice waking up don't you
just like try to be mindful like on your you know during you a moment-to-moment
experience? but the difference is that before awakening just being mindful is
you're being mindful of a very small fraction of reality say I'm paying
attention to breath
very small speck
When you're trying to be mindful or trying to
stay present before weakening that's because you're still inside the head you're
still an avatar and once you have deconstructed that illusion and you
become infinite space when you when you are mindful you're not
located anywhere. And then you get this sort of "omniscience perception" where
every single sensations directly knows itself simultaneously
alright let's go through the stages I thought body my mind and body my body
everybody just like I am and I could take the most basic
fuckin any dark night erase it passing as a passive good bliss top like you
seen lights you've seen lights my patients all over the body of vibration
third eye open third open see you gods sneak off seeing God put him in your own
image very serene very serene efficient
