Well, this is what always happens in this situation ...
Someone asks about enlightenment and what is their next step. They are immediately bombarded with lots of varying information all coming from different angles.
Well, that is enlightenment framed in someone else's perspective.
What you need to find is enlightenment from your own perspective. There is no method other than your method.
If you want to experiment with some of the techniques shown in this thread, I don't think you'll come to any harm. But I doubt also that you'll be satisfied.
Please accept that you are already enlightened at your core. All the information you need is inside. You have always already been an individualized aspect of source. This being said, focus your own attention on what might be the next step for you. As you practice, you will learn discernment. Not ordinary discernment, but discernment between the voices that you carry inside and those that may interact with you from beyond the veil.
If I could answer the question in two words, i would simply say: meditation, discernment.
Some have talked here about the macabre aspects of the journey you are undertaking. It is a journey where you will have to conquer much fear and you will probably back out a few times, or ask for the "volume" to be turned down.
This is the most frightenening journey you can take, and you need to be sure within yourself that you are ready to deal with the paradoxical sense of even greater alienation from others that will come. You will be alone before you understand that you are not alone.
But it is the greatest journey you can ever take and help is all around you if you please practice those two little words.
Meditation + Discernment = Love.
I wish you well.
You are loved,
Love others,
Thank you s o much, wise one. And I say that, because your words speak truth to me.
I know there is much information being given here, and Im grateful for all of it. But you are right, discernment. I think I understand what you mean..and I think my "being" will know.
I am already alone, Im a single mother for 5 years..with teenage sons.
I dont mind being alone, in fact..I like it.
Strange, but I feel that I need that to grow.
As for backing out..I can't now..there is nothing to go "back" to..the old "self" is dead.. it has to be forward now.

Hi, everything that you've said in your opening post is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. It's like I wrote it myself. I feel we are slaves & that we are not originally from here & that TPTB will not let there be disclosure (as they then lose their money/power).
So thank you for putting everything that I feel in to words.
I've really been searching lately & have found the channeled info from Cosmic Awareness communications of value in my quest for further enlightenment.
Good luck.

When you open your mind and self to the world around you, make sure you do so slowly. I tried to take shortcuts, as if enlightenment was a race and I could "win". Its not pretty and it is scary.
When you mentioned looking into the center of your eyes, you said it unnerved you. Why was that? Was it a feeling? Did the reflection change? Did it affect your sense of self or perhaps it was something silly in the act itself?
Looking into yourself and truly seeing who you are and what you are can be a weird feeling. Through clear and focused meditation, you can unravel your own mystery as well as strengthen yourself against that which makes you uncomfortable. Remember the key word though is "focused". Otherwise, you may not find exactly what you are searching for.
Good luck in your journey.

Hi Freelunch
One begins to wonder if life this day is really worth it as we are indeed slaves of the system and of ourselves.
After my 'awakening' I finally understood. Life is a gift and a curse at the same time. It is actually a Trial for things to come.....
Life is a very short time.....
Too many people don't believe in good or bad anymore, they only believe in what's good for them...
I have the chance to have received a precious gift ...
I am sure yours is around the corner
It is almost as if I am now looking at the world through someone else's eyes..
as I drove to town this morning..
it felt surreal...
hard to explain.
Maybe Ive just flipped my lid, finally!

Hey there. Welcome to the rabbit`s hole. Took the right pill. Anyway, I`m sure by now you`ve had a lot of help. Some great minds wander these corridors... And some not so "great". Don`t be discouraged tho. People may be jealous of you and you might not even realize it. They hide it and try to make you feel like they have the life to live and all the things you hold sacred are without meaning. I think well ok I know that we are all held back since birth, and it sucks because by the time we actually "awaken", most of us have wasted 25 years, if we are lucky. Some people take more.
Like I said before, I`m sure you got a lot of good help and normally I wouldnt reply unless I had something more specific to talk about, but I just kinda resonated with how you say you "felt different". I`ve been different as well, and even my friends notice it. They both cherish it and at times show disdain when I say something that clashes with their preconceived notions of "how things work". Like when I said we shouldn`t be in Afghanistan, back when WW3 begun (we just dont know its ww3 yet because the other powers of the world have not fully joined yet), I was called names and considered a traitor because I didnt agree that the deaths of innocent people do not compensate for the deaths of other innocent people. One drunken arguement got a little violent, cause they tried to say "Good, let their kids die, look how many people died in 9/11" Needless to say, each and every person who was there and literally kicked me while I was down, is now against the war. It took a few years for that, and even after that night we all kinda awkwardly made up. After all we are all friends even to this day. I forgave them instantly and refused to fight back. I knew they were just victims of something I was lucky (or smart or different) enough to see through. ANYWAY ... read any good books lately? I tell anyone who can even stand sci fi even a little to check out the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. Other than that, enjoy your stay, I think you`ll find the facilities here on prison earth quite enjoyable. Having spent a little time in "real" jaiI (ya my beliefs get me into the darndest situations sometimes!) I recommend you find a good book and try to make some Llkeminded & trustworthy friends who got your back. :^) So hopefully some of that helps a little, if not, hopefully someone else could! So long and thanks for all the fish! sorry, dum joke from old book of mine :^p

I will post this reply without reading responses. I don't often even do this, as most of what comes down the tube is distraction which I know you understand what I mean.
All of what you have said is shared by others and I like you am looking for the next step. I am reminded of when I said hi to an older gentleman looking at some abandoned homes on the water front near me in Fl. He sat down and we talked for a short while. Suddenly he blurted our which was triggered by my conversation, "I am waking up to something, I have a job to do and wish to hell I knew what it is". He is at the stage you and I are, we know there is more, but so much is hidden as we are trapped within these bodies.
I recently read one of my dreams from my journals which I had forgot. In this, I was instructed to look at this life like a gossamer very thin tissue which lays upon and in this case, a blue durable surface. As I looked this tissue was like a skin, falling apart constantly due to it's thinness, but always the durable blue part remained intact, eternal. I was told that the tissue like covering was our life, insubstantial and temporary, renewing but dissolving and our real selves was the durable blue surface which received the imprint of the dissolving gossamer covering so it to was recorded but did not change the eternal part.
I mention this lesson only as it allows me to know that what we are going through is only a part of a greater whole, it is only a very small part of our greater being, like an epithelial layer which is shed daily.
As to helping to go further, I wish I had the answer, but it is found within and not without, we have to look at that which is our greater part and that can be achieved by simplicity. I have heard and I have practiced meditation, which may work, I have and succeeded in doing telekinesis which works for concentration and growth, but getting back to the simplicity and acceptance of being a child seems to work better. Connecting with all living things, loving plants and animals and separating yourself from mankind's distractions which leads to lower vibrations. We are many of us entering a higher vibrational level and you may experience it now and then. Dreams become more than before, intuition increase etc. The next step is slower, but real.
Keep a journal of your dreams. Practice out of body exercises, try TK, stay away from negative people, and that is why I seldom get into politics, it is overrun with negativity and anger. Turn off the TV. I know you have heard it before, but my inner self directed me this way and I have no tolerance left for any of this, a real disconnectedness from the world, it is a distraction which I resent.

And the next step is to sell you this hoax, that is half real half lie so you can become a little toy. You are giving in manipulation, it's what they want you to do, get with the collective. it's the same guys that rule now and you are becoming part of their colective as a borg a toy.
It's the new Gaya crap planed for you guys where all the new stuff like new age, and other religions unite into this twisted colective to twist you for good.
This with the awaken and unity is a hoax
it's made so you will cross the line.
diversity not unity is the key, we need to make it as a species, as the human race, diversity is creativity, unity is just boring, it's like comunism
The universe exists because of it's diversity
This sounds like the borg, we will assimilate you into our colective.
Why don;t people think for their self or would you rather have the colective think for you ?
