Thread: Benefits of being a human adult

Entering into human adulthood means you don´t identify much with your ego/identity anymore. You have peeled back many layers, and have destoyed most of your former identity by destroying your beliefs. The self is not completely gone however, it is still "there", but at a much lesser degree than before. It´s there, but you don´t identify with it. Enlightenment is completely removing the self, and is different from human adulthood. Human adulthood is waking up within the dream. Enlightenment is waking up from the dream.

So far, these are the benefits I´ve noticed:

- Drastic change in vision. The vision field of perception is much clearer and brighter. I can see better in the darkness. I can see details of things much better. I can zoom in on things better than before. Lights are very beautiful to look at. Everything looks more real and less real at the same time. The less of yourself, the more of the world. Thats the best way I can describe it. I am more present with the world and the world is more present with me. There is only perception, and now my perception is clearer.

- Non attachment. I don´t think too much about my self anymore. I am much less attached to anything. Myself, belonings, the world, but also other humans. This is a great benefit imo, but it has it´s downsides as well.

- More present, less self talk. I also care less about most things.

- More at ease and in the flow. I can see patterns more clearly, I can connect better with people, simply because there is not so much of me standing in the way anymore. I´m simply more aware, and I can notice the everyday miracles more clearly.

- More youth. I look younger and more alive than I did before, at least from my perspective. When I look in the mirror, my eyes a glowing and the eyes look much more alive and radiant. Since you spend a lot of energy keeping together your identity, when you stop doing that, you simply spend less of your lifeforce and you look younger again. You are spending you lifeforce energy to keep the illusion of your identity going. The identity has to be reinforced everyday, and that is what you spend your energy on. Pretty sad actually

So basically to sum it up. When consciousness becomes less cluttered with self, it becomes clearer, brighter and more silent. Less of you, more of everything else.
