The seeker is he who is in search of himself. Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I?’ After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The ‘I am’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -- nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being. ---- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

I am actually listening to Eckhart Tolle's audiobook "The New Earth" and it's awesome. Also I find Wei Wu Wei and Nisargadatta Maharaj books mind blowing. Read them if you have an opportunity.

Stepping into the unknown is following your passion, but how do you know your passion if you are unconscious? I failed many times, but I know it was because I don't know who I AM. Hope this helps.

I don't know what I'm doing either, but... I'm ok with it... hehehehe

Yeah @Ayla ... the stuff I have to read here is driving me crazy! But I forgive them because they don't know what they are doing... Lol

@Emerald Wilkins @Arik Maybe we can create a kind of "Amusement Park for Kids with Meditation Retreats"... good business idea hehehehe

@Ayla 1. Not this not this 2. Not this and this 3. And this and this 4. And neither not this, nor and this.

There's no pixels that resemble a bald man, just plain and simple pixels!!!

And lately I was trying to play with the feelings of pain, like really feeling them. And, to my surprise, they are not so painful. A lot of pain is created by the mind. Interesting.

@Mal

Can we start a cult??? I think it would be a good idea.

@Arik Thanks!!! Before doing meditation I was in a mental institution for a week. I know what you are talking about! Thanks for sharing!

@Mal That what you are saying is life changing. I needed that! Thanks!

Thanks @Ayla !!!!

That's right, but it's just a thought that comes to mind. There are thoughts also about meditating in silence to calm thoughts. Confusion thoughts. More meditation thoughts? Thoughts about feeling trapped in mind.

Maybe is empty in "there" or at least "spacious" hehehehe

Why are we talking about all these? Nothing has a form, form is empty... this forum is emptiness Enjoy the nothingness of the forum Oooooohhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wait there!!! Wait there!!! You said "No point..." Now you say "there's a point..." You keep changing your mind, You don't exist!!!!!! Maybe you crossed "The Gateless Gate" ...

I understand everything but I cannot SEE. Frustration is there, but ego is making like if he's not interested. Thoughts are there, and they seem to make sense... and everything is crazy

@Ayla You are right, there's nothing.

How can be Leo manipulating us if he doesn't exist????

I want to be manipulated!!! Please, manipulate me!

We are not living a life, "Life is Living us"

The point is we all are being manipulated, we have to choose wisely about who do we want to manipulate us.
