Cool, I also like to draw. It happens to all of us, just meditate more to calm down those thoughts. hehehehe...

@moon777light Another thing I noticed is that when there's no self or people find enlightenment everything just flows naturally with nature. So, it should be natural to survive, so we naturally tend to survive. When there's no drive to survive, probably is just an ego trick. Let it go. Because there's no one to survive in fact, but the ego in that way continues perpetuating saying "I have no drive to survive". Where is this "I"??? There's no I, just reality and reality is about survival too of the form. That's why Jesus said "The Body is the Temple of God".

The big temptation with Salvia is that here in New Jersey is legal... But I never did any psychedelic stuff, so... I think I won't try it yet... Lol

That's true... just sharing your experiences will help! Thanks!

Great post @Shin !!!

Yeah!

Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water... After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.

Straight answer: NO

@Natasha Good. Let me know what you think.

@Wisebaxter hahahaha... I don't do it with everything, but sometimes you will be surprised that it gives you the answer you were looking for but you were not so sure... hehehe.. Let me know how it goes.

@lmfao I am reading some pdf's that I found really helpful and they give a really good explanation of what is intuition or insights. I will paste it here and I will post the links to those pdf's if you are interested in reading them. I like how they clearly explain how enlightenment works. Here you have links to those pdf's if you are interested. http://www.theimplicatetechnologycentre.co.uk/

I think is more direct, with the dice you have more options. So, it will be more difficult to decide. With a coin is Yes or No hehehe... Do you know where did I get that idea? From the book "Think and Grow Rich". There was a general that he use to take really fast decisions and everyone admired that he always knew what to do. One day he revealed his secret and that was his secret, he just flipped a coin Lol...

@Natasha Thanks!!! That's what I was thinking, now I have to "see" it. I always saw the mind/brain as a receptor of all thoughts from the collective ego-mind, not a creator of thoughts. There's a book I found long time ago online, a pdf in fact that it explain so well what is the personality, how it works, what is reality. Is like a step by step course for enlightenment. And they help a lot with the practice, mostly focusing on the breathing, on the tip of the nose, counting the breath and focusing on that or it can be an object. I read it long time ago but I never did any practice, I am thinking on working on it again. This is their website. http://guidestoenlightenment.com/ And this are the links to the pdf, they have 2 books, one for beginners Beyond the Personality:the beginners guide to enlightenment http://guidestoenlightenment.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Beyond-the-Personality-indexed.pdf and the more advanced one Towards Effortless Activity: the advanced guide to enlightenment http://guidestoenlightenment.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Towards-Effortless-Activity-indexed.pdf Take a look at them, I think they have very valuable insights. The books are written by people who walked the path of enlightenment and they share their experiences on those books. One of the things I always remember from reading those books is that Reality is a process that devours the personality. They also have the whole book online, in their website, this is the chapter that I always remember and it was really helpful for me. http://guidestoenlightenment.com/b-1-5-what-does-it-mean-to-say-reality-is-a-process-which-devours-the-personality/

Yes. In reality is the thoughts who are totally creating reality. My deepest question that I have to do in self inquiry is if the thought is "stealing" the uppercase "I" , that is Reality/Brahman/God/HigherSelf/TrueSelf and taking ownership of it, or in fact there's no such a thing as an "I" and it is all thoughts that create a lowercase "I" or false self and in fact there's nothing. I also know that from nothing everything is created, but my question is if everything is nothing. The main source of all is nothing. Or is the uppercase "I". One is consciousness, the other one... I don't know.

Yoda would say "Retarded I am"

I was leaving from work on my way back home and I had an insight. The mind is telling me the story of what's happening all the time. I always knew that conceptually, but now I could see how it does that. It's like the body moves to a certain place and the mind begins to "think" I like to walk in this street instead of the other, because blah blah blah blah blah. And it does it after I took one street instead of other, like saying there's an I who chooses what way I will be going or if I will take this street or other different . It's funny how we don't notice those things because we are used to be controlled by the thoughts.

I am still meditating everyday. Mostly mindful meditation, trying to be focused on awareness the whole day. The thing is that for some reason the ego is kicking back harder than usual. My mind becomes agitated. I lose focus and I get involved in the story in my head. So, when I realize I am doing that I just bring my focus back to awareness. What is bothering me is that is happening more frequently than usual. But I know is a trick of the ego who doesn't want to see what's behind the curtains of his trickery Lol... So, I am continue working on focusing on awareness more and more than ever before!

@Natasha Exactly! They were here in Manhattan like one hour ago, they did a parade for them. I couldn't miss work so I watched it on twitter hehehe... it was fun.
