@MartineF Cool, thank you! -
I think we don't control our thoughts at all, because there's no one to control them. We think we are the thinker of thoughts, but that is just a thought.

@cetus56 Very interesting indeed. I have Eckhart Tolle "The Power of Now" and I want to read "Be Here Now" to compare both, but for what you are telling me it sounds they are quite different. I checked Steve Jobs biography and yes, that's the book he read. He also read Beginners Mind, Zen Mind by Suzuki and the Life of Yogananda, among others. -
This book just came to me hehehe... "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... " From the book "The Zen of Advaita" by Nisargadatta Maharaj

Yesterday the mind was doing a big attack, but I remembered all the posts here, specially this one @Ayla and nothing happened. I just stayed in my "being-ness" and all was great. The mind can go crazy, I don't mind. Lol Today I am beginning to notice that something observes the concept "I AM" Thanks!

I am not 100% sure, but I think that one was a predilect book of Steve Jobs. I have to check, it says that in his biography I think. -

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.”

@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.
