  1. I just found a post from a user confirming what I have discovered. Things begin to appear, ideas that I had never contemplated are coming to me. Anyway, I know everything is just a story.
  2. We hallucinate the whole reality. What we think is "real" is hallucination.
  3. Some insights that arose when meditating and being silent, mostly in my mind. I realized that awareness (God/Reality) is the doer. The jiva or atman doesn't do anything, he thinks he is the doer. But everything he does is a reflection from the source or Brahman or Iswara. So in reality is Iswara who does everything. I wasn't sure about this insight so I googled it to see other views on this point. Because I always heard that awareness does nothing. And I found this: "A being enlightened to a certain level knows that he or she is not the doer, that God is, Sri Ramakrishna tells us: “Do you know the attitude of one who has realized God? He feels: ‘I am the machine, and Thou, O Lord, art the Operator. I am the house and Thou art the Indweller. I am the chariot and Thou art the Driver. I move as Thou movest me; I speak as Thou makest me speak.'” (4) If God is everything, then we are God and God must be the doer. But what’s lacking is our realization of that fact." https://goldenageofgaia.com/2016/12/08/god-alone-doer/
  4. Who is not crazy? You have gone crazy too... I am crazy... Everyone is crazy, the president is crazy, the therapists are crazy, scientists are crazy... the whole world is deluded. what's the problem?
  5. @Highest Sufism is not very well known. I want to read more about it, really. Thanks for sharing!
  6. That's similar to the teaching from Hermeticism that says: "That which is above is the same as that which is below" Or "As above, so below"
  7. Spirituality can become a mental health problem if you don't understand well spirituality. I say this cause I know now. My psicosis and depression was there because I thought I was the thinker of thoughts. Once I knew I'm not my thoughts, Boom!!! No more depression, anxiety or psicosis can affect awareness.
  8. Thanks for sharing that. So powerful. I'm in a level know that I doubt a lot about talking of spirituality, and most of the time I feel is better not sharing and continuing acting as a person. Lol... Thanks again!
  9. I would stay focus on one thing. I think that if you let them roam around, that would be like doing something, right? IMO
  10. I'm curious about Salvia
  11. You can read his ideas about UBI here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/87aa2z/iama_andrew_yang_candidate_for_president_of_the/
  12. You are not losing your mind, because your mind is not "yours". Meditation what it is supposed to do is to make you see that thoughts, mind, etc... are not you. That you are bigger than that. Observe an object. Think about it, you will notice thoughts that say "I like it, I don't like it, is blue, is boring, is yellow, it's nice... etc" All those are concepts created by the mind. Look at the object again, this time try to not pay attention to your thoughts. Observe the object as it is. Look at its texture, don't think is good or bad, or if you like it or not. Just observe it, touch it, feel if it is soft or rough... That which observes without judging (this is good or bad) is awareness... Did you notice that at some point?
  13. The devil is just a name. In Christianity people realized that we were not seeing reality the way it is and they say that it was the devil, that God gave the world to the devil... that works, because we really create our personality from the world. The ego (what we are not) is created by our environment, the world. So, everything that comes from the world is a sin and devil. Buddhism called it Maya... etc... Basically what they call 'devil' is what doesn't allow us to see reality the way it is, so we don't really know what we really are. We believe that we are a body, who was born in a world, etc...
  14. @BjarkeT It's Ok... no problem. I understand.
  15. That way in my experience creates another self that is confident. What I wanted to do is not to create another belief systems that is a "confident person"... I think is more powerful to be aware of what you are. What you really are is much more confident than anything. And it doesn't need a "personality that is confident" or create a belief of confidence or thinking you are a "confident person". It's confident because that's what awareness is. It knows it IS. The website you posted says "Self-confidence is believing or being sure about ourselves in some way." In my opinion is not the same "believing that you are" self confident than BEING self confident. But that's my opinion and experience...
  16. I agree with that... Adyashanti and Rupert Spira I think can help a lot ... or Eckhart Tolle
  17. The only way to increase your self confidence is not to listen to negative thoughts. And that can be done with mindful meditation. Being aware of thoughts makes you "notice" that thoughts appear and they are not yours. You just perceive them. Thoughts will begin to fade and you will began to rise, your real self that is much more powerful than thoughts and has all the confidence you think you don't have because you are thinking that those negatives thoughts are actually you. They aren't!!!! and You aren't those thoughts. Positive thinking sometimes doesn't work, because fighting against those thoughts makes them more powerful. You just have to be aware and let them go... let them pass with you not being affected by them. After that the mind will become a tool for you, now thoughts are telling you what you are, which is a lie. It's not your real "you". They say that The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. Make the mind your servant and not the other way around. Hope this helps.
