Ok I haven't read the whole thread yet, just have to get some thoughts/questions in, hopefully they are not repeats.
I can't claim to actually made it to finding 'true self' but I have been experiencing things from meditation. One thing that has been growing in me recently and has me worried is a sense that "I am done". Things that bind me to this world seem to be falling away. I have started asking for guidance to find what remains for me to do but I am not getting answers.
This worries me enough that I am tempted to stop with the meditation ...
Unfortunately I have gotten into such a habit with it I often drop into that state 'accidently'.
Any words of wisdom on finding remaining purpose to maintain the connection would be greatly appreciated.

I apologise if this is a digression but can you (or anyone else) tell me a bit more about the state achieved by meditation.
How is that you are able to access 'hidden' information in this state?
How do you know that the information gleaned is 'real' and not something produced by the brain?
To take a reductionist position, all mind states would simply be a matter of different brain chemistry. Normal consciousness, meditation, dreams etc would just be a product of the different chemicals flowing through the brain. So how could the mind access any external information except through the normal senses? Is it a question of being able to access subconscious knowledge (i.e stuff you really know but don't know you know).
Or is there a collective unconscious, as Jung believed, that can be accessed through meditation?
Or is it, as some believe, that the physical wold is illusory and that during meditation you connect with the 'true' reality that underpins the physical world.
Has anyone ever proved the efficacy of retrieving hidden information by mediation, oobe, remote-viewing etc?
I'm slightly skeptical but genuinely interested in these phenomena so would be interested to hear other people's views.

I have a dog as well. I have meditated on whether or not he is Harvestable and it has turned out that he will. There are things from the position of the owner that you can do to increase the Harvestability of your German Shepard. This includes showing it as much love as possible, treating it as your equal (which includes speaking to it in the same voice as you would another human), and sharing the lessons you have learned in this incarnation.
You

I have heard many say that no matter what they are doing they always feel they should be doing something else. I don't know if others have felt this way. This realization, in my experience, is a transitional state and awareness in progresses. I feel we eventually come to realize, or at least I did, that we are not the 'doer.'
As the constructs of a lifetime of social & religious programming crack and fall away at first there is a vast emptiness, yet it's an environment full of spiritual energy. All part of the awakening - IMHO.

Yes there is going to be a cleansing cycle.
Will all humans die, no.
There will always be some left that survive, it is foretolled.

Very awesome thread Universal! I've been reading threads about this harvest thing for a while now and am starting to understand it more and more.
I do believe i am of the 51% STO, as I live in the now without regrets, learning from my mistakes, and keeping as happy and positive as possible. The question i have for you is this:
Eventhough my life is filled with happiness, i treat others with respect and dignity, and love everyone equally, and am truly grateful for my experience here, I do have a couple of addictions I'm trying to rid myself of. One is smoking cigarettes, SNIP.
I hate smoking cigs, and have been trying to give it up for years now, but find it dam near impossible to do. If I am still smoking when the harvest comes, what will happen to me? I am still a really good person, but have this nasty addiction.
Can u give me your perspective on this?
Thanks!
