@Prabhaker I agree with Osho.

In capitalism seems to happen the same very thing. Weird, right?

I was in a psiquiatric hospital (before finding about Leo and actualized) because I had some psychotic episodes. I really lost my mind. And what I learnt is that you don't lose your mind. It's just attachment to thoughts. We think, we are the thinkers. When I weird thought arrives we think it is us that is thinking, something wrong is happening. Try to focus on reality without analyzing. See what is happening outside, not in your mind and you will see that all those thoughts are false.

More on the topic:

Maybe worker cooperatives? There are several companies working like that, one of them in New York and it has proven to be very successful. http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/the-end-of-poverty/how-america-s-largest-worker-owned-co-op-lifts-people-out-of-poverty

Do you think you are the thinker? Investigate and you will notice that those are not "your" thoughts. You are just aware of them. Let them pass, if you pay attention to them they will come back. Try mindful meditation, it helps a lot to get detached from thoughts.

@Sirius Exactly, so true...

I read some books of Yogi Ramacharaka when I was a teen. Now I see that he was one of the person who are supposed to be the author of that book (The Kybalion). Life is a strange loop.

Now I want to read it. Looks really interesting.

Lmao!

Yeah, it sucks. It is difficult to separate the thinker from the thought.

Awesome, those insights are really good. How do you perceive an insight? Normally I feel a sudden knowing of something, with no thoughts at the moment of the insight. Then thoughts appear and begin with doubts, fears, and more... :-P

Nice insights. I was also noticing that there's two kind of movements in the body. I don't know how to call them. I noticed that sometimes the thought arises and then there's an action of the body. And other times it happens the other way around. The action happens and then the thought arise and says "I am doing this action"... It's like the thought sometimes appropriates the action and creates the idea of a "doer"

@Sirius This mindfulness meditation guide helped me a lot. I recommend it to everybody.

That's exactly what happened to me too. The problem is when we believe what thoughts say. In my case mindful meditation helped me a lot to "separate" from thoughts and just observe them, it doesn't matter how crazy they are.

They are correct in the sense that they are what people need to listen according to their spiritual level. But, in my opinion all scriptures are correct, the problem is the interpretation that people give to them.

Here he was talking about with a different meaning:

When I saw the thread in the beginning I thought he was talking about "annihilation" of the ego. Self-destruction in the sense of destroying the ego. Now I understand after reading his other thread that he wasn't talking about that.

@Nahm We all were one of those. That red pill is so powerful, seems like Maya or Ishvara hahaha...

@Nahm That's what materialist will never "see" ....

"Let the dead bury the dead" (Luke 9:60)

@ADD That's the ego going crazy because he know he's under death threat. The best solution (at least it helped me a lot) is mindfulness. Be mindful of the thoughts, they are not you. Ask anytime a weird thought arises, who is the thinker of that thought? It will disappear. Know that you are not those thoughts.

Maybe it didn't happen. Who knows?
