This is not a koan but is a very good advice: ”It is better to do your own path imperfectly, than another’s perfectly.” Krsna

I am reading Nisargadatta Maharaj and it's awesome, blow minding. Very direct Zen. It is helping me a lot. Thanks!

Yes, I like him. I am subscribed to his YouTube channel (not sure if it is his channel, but it has a lot of videos of him). Thanks!!! Never heard about her, I am going to google her. Thanks! Thanks everyone for your posts!!!

Thanks Natasha, I'm going to watch that video. ?

I found something that I think it has a lot to do with what we are talking about Nisargadatta Maharaj: “I do not believe in spiritual paths....all paths lead to unreality.” There is no one, There is nothing and no one to get No one to receive a teaching No one to give a teaching That being said Who hears? Who reads? Let’s begin Nisargadatta Maharaj: “There is no such thing as enlightenment, the realization of that fact is itself enlightenment.”

The universe programmed everything

@Venus Are you looking for self-actualization or self-realization? If you are looking for self-actualization I would buy the life purpose course that Leo is offering. If you want self-realization. Sit still and know who you are, or better said... who is the I AM.

My programming?

Cool, thanks @vizual !!! I knew I wasn't fully accepting reality, even I wanted to believe that I was. I was accepting the ego, but suddenly today I wake up like in a bad mood. I think is the natural response of the ego (programming, conditioning, belief, whatever it is the ego). :-)

I am really feeling that I am nothing. But I am not clinging to that belief.

I am running in circles, I know that. hehehehe... The problem is that I don't know because I think that I don't have access from my personality. Maybe because I believe that, it's not happening. I was thinking that I have to drop the idea of "me", the concept of "I", but I can't figure how. I think I have to stay still and wait to everything happen by itself.

I don't know, that's why I was saying that. :-) I can tell you what I think... but I really don't know if it is useful to continue thinking about it.

I am beginning to think that all my answers to questions will be from now on "I don't know"

When someone thinks something "bad" about you, that is a thought, and what you think about that fact is also a thought. The key is to see that thoughts are not true, mindful meditation helped me a lot to dissociate with thoughts just observing them, 15 mins or 30 mins per day makes a big change. Glad to know you are doing good.

Everything is being demolished in me, reconstructed and demolished again and I am watching that roller coaster, trying not to get caught by the emotions.

I watched it once @Natasha and I was receiving so much to digest that I really know I missed a lot of stuff. I want to see them again more thoroughly, thanks!!!

@Natasha That's cool!!! This forum is helping a lot by sharing our experiences! So nice.

True hehehehe

Thanks Charlie!

I think I am doing some "progress" being mindful and paying attention to my core self, when I notice him. Probably I notice him in a distorted way, but it is getting more clear little by little.

I wonder why too Charlie :-P

If you know yourself, you can not go wrong. The problem is that because we can't see well reality we don't know who we really are. Our consciousness is mixed with thoughts, feelings, etc and we can't listen very well our real self, you can call it GOD if you want, some people call it the I AM, others nature, universe, etc. It's in fact our real self. He will guide you, meditation is helpful in the sense that helps you not to give power to your thoughts. Silent meditation, just observing the thoughts and let them go it's pretty good. It makes your brain (through repetition) learn to ignore those thoughts that are not good for you, giving that power back to your core being. Keep doing that, well done! I am happy to know you are doing better!!!

Yeah, I was thinking the same but I tried and failed miserably Lmao

@Ayla @Saarah I tend to see more the face first. Then with effort I see the ornament. I was thinking that maybe I have to look at the empty spaces between everything to see if I can see reality. Lol
