Would anyone like to share their experiences of refinement?
On the relative level, how have you noticed your life: relationships, experiences, behavioral patterns, etc refining in alignment with knowing your true nature?
What a wonderful idea, David, would you be open to meet again on YouTube to speak about this precisely? I feel it would be lovely as we have already met once a few months ago and I feel lots of refinment is occuring effortlessly here.
I wrote about this ("integration", refinement...) yesterday on my blog, how funny. I'll share some here:
I've been meeting people online who are at different places in their experience of self-realization, different representations of the one Self in human form. It is very strange how this letting go of the individual self illusion and "craving" more appropriate human connection are happening at the same time.
My default mode of operating in my daily life, all the time I am not asleep, is observing. With the focus on observing thoughts. I'm an old pro at this now after a few years, but I do still feel the need to "actively" do this sometimes. But sometimes the observing is more clearly automatic. This is the gold, when you know that.
Also, lots of creative projects, in the flow, improvement in mood or "time" in higher frequency, need less sleep...
I believe the point is to allow all of this to just happen. And letting go will increase. The perception of effort is a shame, but also cannot be avoided completely for me right now. That's okay!
Yes, the craving more 'authentic' relationships as we realise how much we've been pretending to get along our whole life!
As Charlotte Joko Beck puts it, we've been living a "substitute life". Now in alignment with our true Self, its like life starts properly from here!
That's not to say there are not still challenges, as old patterns still pop up. Just to more and more subtle degrees. We just see them so clearly now, say 'hi', and let them dissipate without fuss.

Thank you, David. Very helpful, and makes sense from my experiences. I like "its like life starts properly from here." How wonderful! A long time coming. :)
