  1. Maybe this will help you to clear your mind a bit http://www.buddhanet.net/oxherd1.htm .
  2. You don't have to, I believe @Serotoninluv can help you.
  3. haha, this hit you harder then I expected.
  4. It works, but heard it does have its flaws of not having as good memory of what was written as you would reading it normally and I see how it could be very bad for educational books, or learning some stuff that requires time to process idea behind text.
  5. You are already experiencing LOA, so you might just start by noticing how it works. Or you can read some books, watch videos where they do not promise getting everything you want by imagining it, or wishing for it, or that it is something you can do in your current state of mind. What I mean is you want it to work for you, it's there anyway.
  6. It is not some wishful thinking, I think you have to look into what it really is before making same posts as others thinking that you will get pile of anything in your lap, or that it is something that is easy to do.
  7. It is very good question. I would like to add on MU message and clarify that it is not about following some written rules on what proper ego should be like, but fixing only things that make you suffer, or make you immersed in ego, fixing does not mean changing, it can be accepting that part of you, which can happen trough various means, sometimes it can be removing past traumas, habits from your ego, I would say that lots of thous things come in to right place trough practice without even noticing. Although ultimately it does not matter and you should be alright with everything, there is this problem of you believing ego is you (even if you think it is not you) -->you having idea of what your ego should be like----> what others should think of you(I), which blocks you from getting deeper and makes you fall back to it ego traps. And it is not always the "negative" things, "positive" things can do it too. It is very complex system, some people are alright with having certain traits, some people can't accept having them, you could as well go without doing any personal development and set your goal on seeing ego for what it really is right away. There is no way of knowing what will be best for you and there is way to much to address on this topic, but I think one message out of this should be clear, there is no one ego module you have to follow, there is just goal you have to reach and what you have to do to get there depends entirely on you.
  8. I think your mind is playing tricks with you and making up stories . You are not crazy though, we do it all the time, but it would be better if you look at thous things clearly without assuming stuff, or whatever you want really , just being honest.
  9. I will ask you one question, does it even matter? This is the question you have to find correct answer for, not cling to ideas that someone will throw at you and you will question one week later.
  10. Exactly, what might be considered healthy , might be far from healthy for you , our bodies are complex and we each have different reactions to foods that we consume, not to be taken lightly as bad symptoms can take long time to show, I personally had best long lasting experiences from eating simple, not mixing 20 foods to make optimal health combination, as 20 food means way more chance that you will have something in your diet that will be bad for you.
  11. @winterknightDo you know any good books about 5 dimensions of body, not looking for term explanation but more in-depth information ?
  12. Exactly, I understand what they mean by looking from his perspective and he clearly does have valid points, you can find them anywhere, that is the thing with perspective, but he is not teaching anything about perspective , he is just giving his perspective,which is stupid reason to tell that he is teaching anything with his videos, you can learn from any videos then. Just because you understand what is perspective and want to understand his does not make him teacher, if you think that he is trying to teach anyone with this, then I can tell you that he can just as easily delude people on picking on his perspective, making them resent people, or run other way on smallest flaw, because as I said, he does not teach what is perspective, how it operates, or what is his goal with any of this, he just talks what he does not agree with. Also he has bad habit to simply criticize without giving any reason to even make it observable perspective, which is even worse.
  13. Can someone explain to me why people who call them self so spiritual, non biased, all about fairness and so on has just as silly traditions that they follow as any other religion,culture, but at the same time tries to label them self as non religious, non biased. I know country is huge and there are more then one religious structure, but it all does come from teachings of well know spiritual practices.
  14. You can always take step back and take your life back, you want to forget, you can forget, you want emotions back, you can get them back , it is not one way street, I think problem is that you do not know which step to take.
  15. Logic you are using now is just fiction, how does that make you feel?
  16. Have never done it, but my logic says that it does not matter as long as music is not distracting you in a bad way, that includes -you not like the music -music taking your attention away from breathing, mediation*( if your goal is not to get immersed in music) It should be something that takes away distractions, same time not making you attracted to it.
  17. Livers are probably most nutritious food from how many important components they hold , fish was good too , but now you can't know what waste in ocean your wish got hold of, egg white is alright too, I would stay away from rest as something to eat often.
  18. Depends, there are very fast ways to dissolve ego, such intense suffering that there is nothing left in mind that holds you to physical world,trough such selfless devotion to something that there is nothing that you hold for yourself, but are ready to give every ounce of you without anything in return. I think you could call it ego death.
  19. You are going in with expectations, don't do it, balancing your life is very important, especially until you get far enough where you will not see any of this as problem and will take action in direction you will know is best for you at that time, take it as way of passing free time and maybe learning something in process. Also do not hold to experiences you will get, it will be difficult, but it is very important to be mindful about them, observe what you can learn from them, test if it is something you can test, but do not let them take over your daily life, you do not want to get stuck in some mind games because of how exciting it was.
  20. It is not like I do not like him, its just that his videos are to badmouth what people do , you know kind of person who talks crap about others, but does not shed any light of what he himself is about and what is his way, can't really resonate when he puts nothing on other side. To put it in other words, I do not see any value of his videos other than to see his opinion about other people, I am not sure how his opinion can help me in any way.
  21. Was that a joke?Just do not want to be one who did not get it!
  22. I get your point and it is ofc true, but I would have expected more from people who follow teachers who should have better understanding and are guiding others, where did they get thous cultural things in first place.
