Effectively *super-charged* my consciousness work

Brilliant! P.S. If there's nothing to do, there's everything to do

Dark? Hehehe... You misread him. He describes an utter perfection. You can feel nondual love oozing from his work. You have to take into account the maddening humility of Nothingness. He wants it to take your breath away.

It's precisely because God is so powerful, that you cannot see him. It's too much power for your little mind to hold. The Truth is so powerful, it doesn't need to show off to anyone. It humbly just cradles all of creation. Lol

Here's a hint:

@LessonsSavesLifes Good advice never hinges on a person's credibility. Advice is an idea or principle which stands on it own because it has some universal truth behind it. Of course people are flawed. Which is why you're told not to idolize or believe in people, but rather just glean lessons from them and go about mastering your life. If you found out that I have sex with goats, would that make enlightenment any less true?

It only feels lonely when you're out of touch with yourself. Find your True Self.

@nexusoflife Good work! Welcome to reality

@Torkys Watch my older Mastery video.

Hehe, that's not contemplation, that's mental-masturbation. Notice that you're just trying to escape from doing the actual work. You cannot do consciousness work as a team effort, lol. Your desire for companionship in life is part of the whole problem here. You think companions exist but they really don't. You are all alone. That's something for you to sit with and cope with, not to escape from through fraternization.

Keep calm and carry on. This is MASTERY we are talking about. You're just on a plateau.

@How to be wise It took you 12 years to graduate high school. So what's another 14 years? Doctors, lawyers, and PhD's spend 8 years in grad school. And you want to master the whole universe in how long?

@sarapr Make sure you try Maca. It gets good reviews by women.

@Hardkill You're misunderstanding femininity. There is no contradiction between feminine, strong, famous, and successful.

Newbies and intermediates, focus on consciousness work, not superpowers. Remember that your greatest enemy on this path is going to be distraction. Focus on grokking the substance of reality and also living your everyday life more consciously.

@Dodo You can rotate your mobile device horizontally

There are a couple tricks you could use: 1) Try to enjoy your suffering rather than fighting it. You can make light of your moralizing like this, "There I go again... haha. I'm just like a moralization robot." 2) Realize that you can drop your moralizing at any time. The point of the mindfulness is so that you finally realize, "Ohhhhh!!! This is causing me so much damage. It's so pointless. I would be a fool to continue shooting myself in the foot. I will just stop." And you stop. Awareness Alone Is Curative doesn't mean you need to keep doing stupid stuff for months at a time. The point of it is to SEE your own stupidity and then drop it as soon as you're willing. If you're not willing to drop it yet, then keep up the mindfulness until one day you will become ready.

See... the problem with that question is that it takes the notion of "supported by evidence" for granted. That is a paradigm-dependent notion. In other words, if you were given a list of such claims, you would likely reject or dismiss them because they do not fit the materialist paradigm's standards of "evidence". The problem materialists face overall, is that they ask for gross material evidence of subtle immaterial facts. But you cannot grasp the subtle via the gross in many cases. The materialist paradigm discounts the enormous significance of changes in perspective, awareness, interpretation, and context. Here are some claims supported but undeniable evidence that science disregards: Consciousness isn't limited to the skull Intelligence isn't limited to the skull Evolution isn't limited to DNA You are immortal and can never die All boundaries between physical objects are man-made. There is no such thing an "object". You are literally every other human being There is not one single piece of evidence for the external world Psychedelics reveal truth which science hasn't even dared to imagine possible All of science is a human invented system. There is nothing universal about it. It it possible to die while the body is still alive Paranormal phenomena exist Time is a concept which doesn't actually exist Space is a concept which doesn't actually exist Ancient peoples and civilizations like Egypt were WAY more advanced than scientists or historians believe Witchcraft is a valid way of investigating reality Etc. But you're gonna have to expand your notion of "evidence" of course. Because if you demand double-blind clinical studies, you're barking up the wrong tree. Many of these truths can only be grasped individually, by you and no one else. Part of the problem of the materialist paradigm is that it only counts as "evidence" that which is communicable, model-able, and provable. But truth far exceeds communicability and provability.

Sorry for the downtime. The forum is currently not sending out emails. We're trying to track down the issue. So if you didn't get an email confirmation upon registration, that's why. If you recently registered but didn't get an email confirmation, you should still be able to log in after mod approval. Otherwise the forum is still usable.

@Dan Arnautu Like I said, I install Windows on my MacBook. No virtual box. I don't use MacOS at all.

Love the commitment to the process here. Keep walking the path!

@Gabriel Antonio Awesome work! Keep at walking the path.

What's wrong is that the whole world is closedminded and we live in the Dark Ages. Welcome to the 21st century.

@Faceless Minds, like brains, do not exist. They are just concepts. You've never see a mind. "Mind" was an idea invented by humans some centuries ago, which has now become a part of your reality through unquestioned cultural indoctrination. Try pointing to your mind. I dare ya

Meditation is a tool from taking your mind out of symbolic consciousness into non-symbolic consciousness. When you're in non-symbolic consciousness, the insight of enlightenment (no-self) becomes much more likely to dawn. Although there are no guarantees.
