I honestly can't tell you how helpful this is! This is exactly what i've been going through. It's so terrifying and horrendous. It's such a huge service to others when people like Adya go through this and 'make it' through the other side. It's the part of this process nobody fully warns you about. Having self love and compassion is also so important, I feel. It softens the edges, it reminds one that love still exists, not just horror. I have the utmost respect for anyone going through this and not retreating - you've got this! I love you, whoever you are.
My own experience (6 or 8 times), if I'm correctly relating it to what you're describing, happens so fast (a flash of an instant) that any acceptance (or rejection) of or interaction with "it" isn't possible. The after-effect/after-thought however was impactful, surprising, intimidating, but also "whoa wait a second let's get back to that." Very much like standing at the edge of a precipice. : )
Thank you so much for speaking about the infinite Adya. You share with such grace, and authentic connection to the lived experience. The intersection between the infinite and the intimate: the measureless, and the 'just this muchness' of our human lives. 🙏❤
I have been in this living nightmare for years. Initial awakening happened with no preparation and it has been a horrendous process. The survival mechanism is not giving in without a fight.
I'm so sorry it's hit you in this way... Once terror is activated in the nervous system is hard to dial it back down. Have you sought help from Cheetah House? Just mentioning it in case it's helpful 🙏
@@theawakeningfather Have you considered that there are many ways to achieve stillness, and that maybe this is not the best way for you at this time...?
Embracing fear is difficult when you feel small and alone. I used to see myself as a drop of water drowning in the ocean. Now I realize I am the ocean, and my fear is small and alone.
The void you are talking about, there is nothing good about that place. It isn’t neutral at least for me. It is terrifying bc it feels like you are all alone. Alone without the fulfilment of unconditional Love. How do you say yes to such Lack of pure emotions?!? It almost feels like I am stranded in dark space forever without anything/anyone. Horrific!

Jesus is always in my void. I can't explain it, but I do like him there

I stared into the void... and it winked and blew a raspberry.
Excellent 💜🙏

I meditate every day and I worry about this happening

@@amaryllisequistra yes, I wonder about this often. I don’t know whether the way I am going about it is correct.
@@theawakeningfather Go gently... 🙏
So true.
The first rule of The Void is: you do not talk about The Void
😂
@@phil.c. Can't avoid the void, it's unavoidable.

😂🎉
This was really helpful thank you so much
Note to self: Remember not to frighten the children!
The art is to not a-void.
Embracing fear is difficult when you feel small and alone. I used to see myself as a drop of water drowning in the ocean. Now I realize I am the ocean, and my fear is small and alone.
Realise via logic or emotion? Bc I can get all the concepts if I don’t have the feel.
The void you are talking about, there is nothing good about that place. It isn’t neutral at least for me. It is terrifying bc it feels like you are all alone. Alone without the fulfilment of unconditional Love. How do you say yes to such Lack of pure emotions?!? It almost feels like I am stranded in dark space forever without anything/anyone. Horrific!
Who or what gets stranded?
I can relate to this
❤❤❤
So helpful, it's the minds image of the infinite not the infinite. The thought of a flower is not the flower applies to everything.
Just the word, fear. Yuk.
❤
