First, I tried to answer what is Nothingness?: 1. I can't because it is simply nothing. 2. Impossible because all thoughts and and answers are just labels and pointing to something-ness. 3. The question doesn't really make sense, because questions itself are just words created by thoughts. Second, I tried to answer who am I? then lot chit chats happening , rationalization that I am my body , my brain etc. But my question really pointing out to the 'sense of self', not really to the physically body so it just flash me back when Im trying to answer What is Nothingness? So the sense of self is totally an illusion, and what is called your True Self cannot be questions or answered because it is simply Nothingness. And the most interesting that came to me was that , for a second I can see my arms and legs moving by itself same thing when I see a table -there is no sense of self attached on it. It's freaky you know, but after a minute here I am back again. note:sorry for my English:)

@Richard Alpert that's cool yoow..

I watch many videos from real street fight, boxing and grappling were more practical. Yeah thank you for the advice, just for the self defense actually:)

lol.

in this life you can overcome your fears piece by piece. ..but make sure that its practical not just you want to be fearless. Challenge your fears for a bigger purpose like doing some business, better relationships, discovering the truth. Yeah you can really start by meditation, meditation helps a lot because it can make you some kind of neutral.

I have a crush, and I am shy. what should I do?

try always to consider that even duality is part of non duality or oneness...exactly its a large spectrum

True, but as Leo always said keep working because we dont know, maybe theres a twist, much surprising things to come.haha.dont know

hey that's Tarsier that can be found here in the southeastern part of the Philippines:)

Sometimes saying you can't be aware of yourself does not help you. You can, you already are,don't complicate it, be simply still, when you are still that stillness is aware of its own peace. The I Amness is simply peace.

of course, every words and thoughts were all just pointers and maps. Your True Self the Awareness cannot be grasp through objects, because it is simply nothing in nature. If you are calm and peace, that peace is simply aware of it's own peace. Don't complicate it, is that simple.

@Barna you can't , more thinking will not. The answer is STILLNESS, if you are calm and still, the stillness is simply aware of it's stillness. Once again you cannot be aware of yourself by knowing(thought), be Still be the Unknowable Space.

when you encounter them, try not to judge them and just be present, alert watching their egos playing. You don't have to do anything ..your conscious presence is enough. Maybe one day their consciousness notice that too, I mean your humble aura:)

@Ross no of course, thinking like that , your ego is just bullshiting you. Remember that you are doing this meditation for long term purposes. I might say meditation should be your habit now for the rest of your life. Keep meditating, keep it easy, take care of your body:)

hehe..this is one painful challenge Ive been through, but in my opinion you can stretch your legs for a few minutes to let the blood flow, stay relax and take care of your body.

yes sometimes I felt this too, but hey dude you just finished reading The Power of Now, ask many times why it should be boring if there's no problem(this is a reaction of ego). Step outside every time when you feel or your ego manifest this illusion, the illusion of boredom. Remember what Eckhart Tolle said that happiness is different from inner peace. You are unhappy because of some external circumstances occuring but you can still be peace with it:)

I can see clearly that my girlfriend is so unconscious with her thoughts, rationality and also so attached to her ideology. I tried sharing consciousness stuff to her but it just offended her ego.

mind. unconscious mind knowledge is just a label. Direct experience is being aware to your true being within insde in the present moment or now. still you, in the sense your true consciousness is being aware to its own unconsciousness by looking directly inside. see? whos talking? that is what I mean by being unconscious aka Ego, when you observe that noise in the present moment there is awareness growing you feel and you realize it your True Being lightening some dark area of being unconscious. Nothing to prove. Try it to your self right now, in the present moment

paradoxically because Im already Enlightened, Im already complete, right now at this present moment, there is nothing to do, there is only present moment that's my True Being. You're goal is just to realize it but to be honest the ego is so strong and tricky, that's why you need resources like Leo and other teachers. I never thought that I will become a guru someday, some kind of cool and calm talking on the stage. But really it's a matter of motivation, my motivation is I know(still an idea) that I'm already in the present moment, I'm already complete, there is only present moment. Ohhh man I need to fully realize that completely. That's all!

be careful with this idea..you need to maintain techniques, teachings, materials in the path. Though these are all illusions, you need this stuff as the ladder to get out from the matrix. Dont underestimate how powerful the ego is, its very tricky.

@Davie I ask this one month ago and Leo said this: Consider the possibility that consciousness constructed the concept of "brain" "neurons""matter"unconscious" everything that is thinkable. So maybe one day we realize that there is Consciousness in the first place.

are you expecting that someone will deliver it to you? it can't be communicated! Even Enlightened people can't express it fully. Only you to find it out.

@Mooders meditation is simply being in the present moment. You said sometimes you get distracted by emotions and you find it difficult, then continue meditating youll find that the most uncomfortable one is the best one.yeh goodluck:)

@OrdinaryAwareness yeah of course I agree with you, you are already been and will always be the silent Watcher
