I haven't read it but I would suggest to first walk/sail around the world, do a back flip off the Eiffel Tower, marry the queen of England, shave your head, form a cult and then most importantly flick to that chapter and skim read it to get the jist of the contemplation

Was that a pun?

Hey Guys, was wondering how emotional experiences when doning self inquiry differ to the actual experience, has it been easy for you to mistake the two?

What about Tolle's book called the power of now?

Bit confused because he when talks about conventional self-esteem he implies that people with high or low self-esteem still compare themselves to other people, which is the case for low self-esteem. But if your build your self-esteem high enough, without ego transcendence, aren't you so accepting and respectlful of yourself that you don't compare yourself to others. There is no competiton with others in you. Or is that the very nature of the ego in which no matter how high you raise your self-esteem, you will always lie, maniputlate, and compare with others and yourself.

Cool thanks guys, it's own it's way tomorrow - can't wait!

Okie dokie

has it been a major part of your spiritual path?

thanks mr president

I am confused about this matter: So many people tell me not to seek enlightenment as a goal because you defeating the purpose of it, as you are it now and always. They say by you trying to attain it is your ego grasping it because it's not happy with itself and will get you nowhere. On the other hand people tell me not to suppress my ego on this journey. But by me thinking of enlightenment as a target is a egoic thing, so should I not suppress it and let it just play out?

When are you planning to realise the documentary on actualised.org?? Oh my I am so exited!! I have got a smile on my face bigger then this right now!

Thanks I love all you guys for helping me out thanks so much, the best forum site on the whole World Wide Web

Ok, I understand thank you for that. Helped put a lot of things into perspective Is realisation really that random and doesn't depend on the state of the ego? Wasn't Tolle suffering from severe depression, meaning his sense of self and ego was very strong. But yet it took so little work... have you had any enlightenment experiences?

Hence,... what I am saying is pointless

Any ideas?

I had an anferior dislocation of my hip last year, is lotus recommended as the muscles around my left hip are still tight

Are self hypnosis audio tapes good for aiding and unwinding the deep rooted believes of your unconscious mind, like self-esteem, social anxiety, your right to happiness etc or is it a marketing scam? Does it depend on the quality of the hypnotiser? How does it work if it actually does? I just got the app Hypnosis, has anyone got it, is it any good?

Cool, how long did it take you to train yourself to sit into half lotus?

Why is it so expensive, is money that important to him?

Don't you have to see a therapist for that? I got a self-hypnotiser audio app on my phone and in doubts whether it's a useful tool for personal development because it is rarely spoken off

@Leo Gura why have you chosen to live in Las Vegas? What appeals to you there?

@Leo Gura got me interested because on his episode where he talks about TV, he mentions that instead of watching TV he fills his day up with other relaxing activities. He mentioned that he does self hypnosis and was getting into it quite a bit for his personal development, but he didn't go into the dynamics of it. So was just wondering what people on here thought

If someone realised his true nature, do you guys think he would be able to run a marathon (without training) and be comfortable with it. Or put himself through any physical hardship, like training for SAS for example

But I was just thinking that if he did do it, that he would be content and mindful with the physical pain and be fine with it. As its the present moment as perfect as it is. Like Leo said Peter Ralston got a root canal without painkillers. Which to me at this moment looks supernatural haha

Yes no worries, would be happy to show you how I have got on
