"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?

@Nahm

Omg! So sad... really bad news.

Oh, Ok... I found his post. Sad. I hope he didn't do anything wrong.

As Einstein said:

How do you know that? Did he mentioned something before?

I think the self is never destroyed. It just discovers that it wasn't what it thought it was.

Nice... hehehe... cool comic really. Alan Moore is good. :-)

I just understood better what you were talking about the whole. Thanks, I thought that the whole was all the knowledge. But in fact knowledge is just a small (or big, I don't know) part of the whole. I am really asleep. Crazy. Thanks for those posts @Nahm and @Faceless

@Faceless I know that anything I do can give me liberation. And as you said, doing nothing is in fact doing something. So, this is where it gets complicated Lol... The only thing we can do is prepare ourselves to liberation happen by itself. And wait. Reading between the lines, there's a lot of this stuff in the Bible, but is hidden if you don't have the right understanding. I was deluded long time ago with the Church dogma, until something happened (an epiphany or awakening) that threw me into some crazy stuff where I learn a lot about the "ego". I will post something about that in my journal soon. :-)

Don't forget to mention Truth that it was a comic before being a movie. hehehe.. I am a comic fan and wannabe comic creator. :-P

@Faceless I think ego is beginning to get tired of "not getting it" Lol... I laugh, but is true. I think an understanding that reading and accumulating knowledge won't bring "moksha" is beginning to take place. Right now all I am doing is to continue to slowing down the mind and thoughts through observation. The meditation I am doing is mostly to be aware all the time of everything without reaction. Just observing.

That's awesome.

@Faceless Thanks a lot for that comment! Very clear explanation. I think I know the response, but the problem is ego doesn't want to accept it. I heard also Alan Watts saying that our consciousness is like the whole focusing on one point and that little point is our consciousness. He gave an example when he goes to a place and see people, he doesn't notice everything. But, he saw everything, he perceived everything. And probably deep inside him he can know for example, what color of T-Shirt was one of the person wearing. He put that as an example. Thanks!

Thanks @Nahm I think I am trying too much to have that experience. I need more patience. Thanks again.

That was awesome @LiakosN Thanks for sharing! Something similar happened to me, but without the mushrooms. I also went to the hospital and I was sure I was going to die. Nothing happened, but the ego is really a scared little child. Lol... Nice!

But isn't that some idea or a thought of what we are? Isn't it supposed that I have to know the totality of my experience? Know what others are experiencing, etc? I can infer that from the texts and for the conclusions I arrive after reading about avatars, like Buddha, Jesus, Krshna, etc... but why when the knowledge that we are everything is clear, why can't be experience or know that everything? That's what I can't wrap my head around.

@Samra That looks so good! I will ask in my comic store to see if they have it! I really like comics and I do comics myself. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Really good. Nailed it! :-)

@Faceless Thank you very much! I think I was needing to chat with you, you helped me to clarify the mind. I was not having confidence in my self and I was lost because of that. I know that now. I appreciate that! Thanks Faceless!

So many opinions, so many paths and ways. Everybody says different things about enlightenment. It's time to stop listening to everything and everyone, and begin searching inside oneself. Abide in the self. Have a wonderful weekend.

Great point. Thoughts/beliefs don't create reality, they distort it, they hide reality.
