It is just emotion,feeling, sometimes based on your reaction to thoughts , sometimes just emotion,feeling it self. So if you want to change it , you have to change your emotional state of mind, or how you react to certain thoughts. There is no pointless,bland, there is only your state of mind that makes it feel pointless , bland , it could as well be very meaningful, you are trying to find logical in meaning that holds nothing.

Practice you are doing is great if you are really serious about wanting to dive deeper,won't be easy though, but it is proper way if you want to see huge results. But stay away from it if you want to take it slow, from all things I have done it is probably most powerful one and can get you further then you can handle very fast. There are to many people who do not understand what they are getting them self into, they say they want, but when they starting to get it they break and ask for way out. I can't stress enough how much people underestimate what they are getting them self into.

Not really, you see freedom from beliefs will get you past beliefs,where belief will keep you stuck The point is that you must droop all beliefs at certain point and drooping beliefs that are engraved in your mind so strongly will be no easy task at all. Other then that I have nothing against this path itself, I just see to many people who get consumed by their own worshiping object.

There is path specially for belief, or rather people who want to worship god, or any deity really, it can probably go out of such norms and can be nation , or whatever. Extremely powerful, unfortunately probably most dangerous too, as your psyche gets so much engraved into believing this , that it is extremely difficult to get out of it afterwards.

I am curious why he did something like that before elections, seems like very stupid move , it does not help him, but lets see, he always finds ways how to surprise.

I am not sure if I get what you mean by if self is still around, self is still around in non dual states, it is just not directly connected to certain parts of mind,like thoughts, feelings,senses. Mind is way more complex then then feeling of me , us ,everything, nothing,thoughts,emotions,senses, it is multilevel maze, that is extremely difficult to navigate as every step can be misstep without you realizing it, it is like being tricked into believing something ,but still being able to make correct move.

It is nothing unusual and this will come as my opinion as always It all depends from state you access, just as everything can feel completely empty, cold, you can enter in state where everything will feel alive and swarming, it is still all in realms of mind, that I am sure of, unfortunately saying more on this matter would be pure speculation from my side , so I will rather keep it at that. About consequence part, it is one of paths on how you can enter non-dual state, if you have not had one, to witch consequences can be serious ego backlash if you are not mentally strong enough, getting to non-dual state from this path is way more difficult for ego to deal with.

In my opinion he is not done, he just got to non dual state and saw through some of the mind "games", how it operates, but it goes way deeper, to better describe he is just still mind that saw his own reflection.

I see where they are coming from, the other side is so out of this reality that it has nothing in common with this , or anything that is talked about in duality or non-duality ,Oneness .So I understand why they say it is way of lunatic , but is it bad to be lunatic?

Don't think that you would be able to handle pain without pleasure to appreciate progress.

Interesting right, to bad that ignorance is so strong and so hard to see trough.

Trump will win, they need very strong candidate to even have a chance.

It is still all good!

There is other practice you can do, I guess it will not help you see who you are ,probably, but it will give you tool to see how everything in your experience is built, problem is that I am not sure if you are mentally ready for it, it might confuse you even more. It is really up to you though, but are you ready for some possible ego backlash.

Now the question is what did he notice, I have seen these threads to often to believe that it is anything more then just some ahha moment that will not last.

No , not really, although it for sure can give you temporary highs, state you are in on itself can feel empty , but it is not really empty, there is allot of peace in it, the thing is as you made separation from previous state, which in place cut you of from feeling anything else then emptiness to certain extend. When I am talking about using both I mean you are both, not you use one and then you use another.

Who needs to solve traumas, sorry it is to funny!

Did't you think that you are your thoughts , your personality ?Now you see that it is not really the case, what happens if we take this state away, you go back thinking that you are this personality , this thought. That's the significance of this state, but what you did is you excluded your previous state. I am asking, can you use both of them.

significance is that you do get stuck thinking that you are only ONE of thous things as you did before, so if you will include them back, it will not be the same as before.

It just form of expressing, what you did there was only entering other state,dimension, striping yourself of previous states,dimensions, does it make more sense?

Very logical though

So I see there is allot of confusion about what does loosing attachment to ego means, good and bad, hate , not hate, Judge, not judge. I know it has been said before, but as days pass, things get buried and people get confused because of form how people replay , rightfully so as it would be chore to put definition each time. Never the least seeing sentences, "you should not judge ", "there is no good , or bad", you should be, you should not be, brings you nowhere closer. To understand why, you have to understand 3 bases of no attachment. *More effort, or effort in general only strengthens your ego, it is nothing more then your ego saying to itself I will not do this , I will be like that. *Doing only what you want is still effort* *Will be attached , will not be attached is effort , so you are still running after your tail. See the truth of attachment in you.

Best I can come up with is this line, " all taken in and nothing left out " Right now you made separation from ego, can you take ego in, while still staying in same "state".

Fine, but the thing is that there is no right and wrong, we can go on forever into discussing what is better, what is worse, if you do not do any practice probably nothing will change in your lifetime, if you do practice, but shut yourself from information to not lead yourself astray you can still make all the same mistakes , but have cut yourself of information that can help you see it. In my opinion, do nothing is purest of forms without leading you in circles, but it requires clear vision.

Not really, you are talking as if you can just do nothing, every thought,sensation, emotions,action and so on leads you into doing something, being able to do not get attached to wherever they lead will get you somewhere and either way is good practice to reinforce almost every other practice you are doing.
