Is there anything in your experience that isnt happening within consciousness? ponder

Rupert Spira simple and clear

@ajasatya Absolutely agree, we adapt to different environments, I just dont like the way modern Western society somehow thinks we are the advanced ones and that the people 50.000 years ago were dumb savages, were both equally advanced, its a good thing to ponder. I just wanted to share this because I was reading about early man and I realized how amazing you would have to be to survive in the environments they survived in. An appreciation for early man thread.

ok this is becoming idol worship mods please lock???

Start a center for abused children and teach them meditation.

Look at what you are until you realize that you are what is looking.

How I can be that which is being watched? How can that which is being watched be separate from the world?

@PsiloPutty Thats whats so genuine! He actually goes to his experience and watches before coming to a conclusion, unlike what we usually do which is just jabber away with whatever our mind comes up with.

@Flammable Its not that its tricky, its too obvious to see, thats the problem. @PsiloPutty Haha, his juicy way of speaking and deep pauses are hard to resist, but thats not why i watch him

@MM1988 A caveman would assume the world is a cave.

LOOOOL??

? ?????

Thats awesome! Wish he would come to Sweden, ive never met a so called Enlightened person

@Flammable I’ve been listening alot to Rupert lately, yes, he makes it so clear, what is IT that knows the body? How can you take a step towards your self?

Yes! A foundational video on Death in general would be awesome! It can include NDEs, what is fear? what happens when you die etc. Good call Come on Leo!

??Happy belated birthday!

How is it possible that someone takes 10 grams of mushroom in front of me and can see reality change, yet for me reality stays the same? Are we all inhabiting different realities? How can i; see thoughts? Yet someone else can not see my thoughts? Are we all inhabiting...different subjective realities? Can anyone clear this up for me? Thaaaaaanks bros and sistas

It depends on what you want to ”achieve” but interchangeably 1.Meditation (Open Monitoring) 2.Self Inquiry (3.I’ve started to dabble in Contemplation and I’ve found very good for having insights, might want to look into that)

Enough with the victim thinking and finger pointing! You have an entire internet of resources! Fix your problems or dont.

@MM1988 Watch this video (again if you already have)

Youre looking for a relief from loneliness, not a genuine relationship, youll be dragging your dead rat of issues into whatever relationship you go into, when you start arguing with your girlfriend youll see all your neurosis come up, Im speaking from direct experience. Yes a relationship is rainbows and butterflies but when those rainbows arent there, then what? Fix your depression at the root first.

Feel like progress? A progress towards what? Would you marry this woman then? How long before you became lonely with someone? What is it that you really want? Contemplate that, ego always wants a quick fix, but thats a quick fix not a long term solution.
