Mind is the ego itself. Good luck to you brother. Peace! Much Love.

There are no others all is within. When you are truly awaken, everyone is awaken. You should go more deeper brother. You will thank me, which is yourself.

The real question is, what if the life is a real dream and you can not be able to wake up? Except enlightment?

He says it all.

Head shot.

No. It doesn't, language, experiencing or naming / labeling the words make people lost in fantasies.

None of the teachings are fundamentally true. Because, the truth is not knowing or silence. Because the knowledge is the biggest illusion.

What is you in this case?

The world is not different than your ego. Because, when you realize deep enough, you realize that ego is the universe. It is not a bad thing but you suffer because of it.

Ego is the universe. Ego never leaves, only can domesticated.

I think you can afford it. But, imo before you go, start to eat vegetables. Bring with you as much as vegetables that will not go bad. I did retreat with the group and my self alone. Alone was the best. Good.

@AION illusion, thoughts and attachment. Biggest teaching is silence.

@ChrisZoZo have you ever stay in a cave? I did. First couple days was the one of the most boring in days in my life. However, when days passed I started to realize that all those people are within not out. I created them as I created you. End of the retreat i have realized that all those people are illusion, because the one who creates people is an illusion in first place. İ recommend you to have retreat within darkness and silence. İ stayed close to 6 months. Not sure how many days i stayed. Because, after a time there will no more time frame, understanding of the time. All moments becomes same.

Definitely 😀

The thing is, there is no one out there, all is within. Questioning others is questioning yourself. Yesterday, I was a smart man that I tried to change the world, today I am a wise man that I tried to change myself. Rumi

So, let go yourself. That you love to be. Meditate at least 3 hours per day in darkness and silence. If you can, do psychedelics and have a conversation with us as contemplation.

The one who loves will die in this path.

Good, accept what you have. Stop questioning. Everything is already what is supposed to be. Any judgement, question comes from the self

Where are you from?

Not humanity, you need to change.

Perfect balance is dancing with existence with genuinely not knowing or not thinking. Going crazy with the music.

Because, opposite sides creates each other. If there is no hot, there will be no cold.

If the suffering is not exist, can the pleasure be exist?
