You are your own master. Whatever you do... Be responsible! Don't play with this, it can be harmful. There are different methods but taking reflection time after each trip is a good advice. If you're not meditating I highly suggest that you start.

I'm happy for you! Meditate everyday with no exceptions. Someday it will feel like shit but, as you know, just be aware of it

You were consciously present of life. Now it's a memory. The present moment is still here and Always will be. Don't look in past memories or research something to find the present moment. What you are is the same at any given point in time, 2 months ago, today and tomorrow. It's not gone and never has. What you are is not inside the body. What you are is aware of body and mind. And that in itself is formless and eternal. Do what you have to do but know that you can't find what you already are.

Yes. Everything and everyone is Buddha right now. But do you live and act like a Buddha? It's a big difference between intelectual understanding and actually knowing the truth from a deeper level. Who cares about what anyone believe? Who cares about the definition of enlightenment? Who cares if there's no path? The question is: is it true for you? To live and act from Truth is a never ending path and yes, meditation makes everything more clear. Meditation takes your understanding from the intelectual level to beyond everything that is known. Always being. Always becoming.

Yes. Suffering is a great tool. In fact, every path is suffering in some form But don't get this wrong. There are unlimited wrong paths to take. For example, if you don't care about meditation and always taking the easy way of then you can't expect to self realize.

Thank you for sharing and nice observation. The root is not core beliefs, the root is the one that can observe core beliefs <3

Of course you are scared. If you dive deep into the unknown that means you will eventually die and you don't want that. But don't be scared. The unknown is your true identity and that is what you are looking for. Why it's scary is because this is something completely outside of what you are used to. This is so different from all the things you claim to know. Let go. Surrender. You can only open your heart for it and one day it will get you. But it's out of your control so you can't do anything for it to happen. Continue practice and stay conscious at any given moment. <3

I read it and waited for you to say "This is a joke!" But it never came. Sorry, I have no more comments.

It's not. With self inquiry, you also observe

Please. Be who you want to be! How do you want to act and behave in the world? Be that one because that is what your heart wants and that will attract everything you ever need for it to be true. But don't care about how because you starting in the wrong direction. Do it first and then you can explain how you did it, but right now you don't know and you will never know if you don't focus on the right thing. Put all your energy into yourself and the right ones will find you. I'm writing this from a master's balcony in India. I have no idea how it works but it does. Here we meditate togherer, I'm learning yoga from a professional and we're eating the best plant based food every single day. In the end, it's just a beautiful dream. It's not real.

Beautiful

Thanks for your opinion

Self realization is the end of chasing and improvement <3

This will pass. Continue practice because you can't do a anything to get back there. It's all illusion.

Do you think much? Are you sure?

This is a nice concept. But nothing more

The sense of separation is too much of a struggle. Even if you have a perfect ego with everything. It's doesn't makes sense to continue in illusion.

Give up and dive into the unknown. Yes, it's scary but you need to go there. In reality you don't know a thing so why would you want to be certain? That's just something to hold on to, which, of course, creates more suffering. You want to go beyond mind and experience silence but on the other hand you don't want to do the practice. This is where you are right now. Start meditating again and don't expect things to be clear after TEN days! This takes time so why are you in a rush? Just stop and continue with meditation 1 hour everyday. Do that for a couple of months and I guarantee you will see some difference in your perception. Much love <3

Enlightenment is not for everyone? How is that even an option?

Smoking is a cultural thing. And about the tips to smoke slowly..m if you smoke every cigarette like that you would probably smoke less and less.

Why the hell not???!!! Just do it and quote me when you write your report, please. Much love my friend!

Eyes open. You are aware that you are not aware? That sounds very much like you are aware

You are right. There is no distans between your body and the world.

The problem is not waking up! That is already the case! The most difficult part is how to continue life. There are no techniques except practicing love in everything we do and get used to life as it is. Love get you there. Go outside and meet people is the way to go. Acceptans and so on. This is a way of life and not a point in time that will make the rest of time blissful. Don't stress to much about it, instead ask yourself how you can act out of love in every new moment. But please.. don't decide before how you should act because there are no rules and you always KNOW what's right to do.
