Here's what I know about Self Realization/Enlightenment/Knowing God.
When it happened to me it was impossible to miss because the air around me became ME! After that, a peace that was beyond calm came into my experience.
There were 4 factors that I believe helped me realize myself:
- One pointed mind: Simply sitting with eyes closed as much as possible.
- Serving others: I had a immense anger at all the injustice in the world. The trick is not to get angry at the abusers but compassionate towards the abused. This should be more important than your own desires.
- Overcoming personal limitations: Doing things that made me feel anxious or scared.
- Austerities from alcohol, sugar and caffeine: Eliminating or moderating and eating well.
At some point in my life I was so frustrated nothing was working for me that I decided to go all in on my own growth. It started with doing things I was scared of and constantly learning new things. Eventually I realized how depressed I was at my job and decided to quit so I can meditate all day. It was impossible to sit down all the time but the intention to meditate as much as possible was there.
After the experience I was feeling fearless, but I made the mistake thinking there would not any consequences to my actions and obviously it doesn't work like it, so I suffered a lot afterwards.
I have awareness of every single one of my thoughts. My mind still panics and my emotions do take me over sometimes. I still make mistakes that cause me suffering. However, having this knowing makes everything feel alright.
