schrödingers enlightenment

I don't understand what you mean by identifying? Identifying sounds like knowing what it is to me Don't we all

At least in Zen practice such questions are unanswered. As soon as you "know" the answer, that isn't the answer anymore. I'm paraphrasing from Tao Te Ching: The path that can be followed is not the true path, the name that can be given is not the true name. The unnameable is the mother of 10.000 things. In Zen practice, at least in beginner practices we breathe in and ask what am i, breathe out and say I don't know. Not knowing is the key

Roses are red Violets are blue I was clickbaited And so were you

That's heart warming

Hello Jack. I'm sorry you have to feel that way. I don't know what others will say but I don't think psychedelics are a good idea at this point.

It seems to me like a non-dual teaching. I would love to listen to what those of us who come from an orthodox background would say.

This is a great question actually

I got a similar impression, glad you brought that up.

This is actually a very important question imo, I wonder what others would say

Take a shot everytime you think you are enlightened. By the time you get sober you will be enlightened.

The Chineese say you need 3 things to attain your true nature: Great doubt, great faith and great effort (or another way to translate it is "great courage"). Have faith but keep your doubt as well. Good luck.

I can relate to what you are saying. It seems to me like you are a little loaded. But if i dare utter big words i would say love others in spite of what they might have done to you. Because, if i have to speak for myself, when i imagine myself doing what someone else has done to me, i can usually see myself doing the same thing. So it doesn´t seem to me like a question of who did what. But loving yourself is pretty sweet too. Also cute puppies you got there mate

Confront your gf about this and do it as a spiritual practice

I think he is poking fun at peope who do so

High quality meme

Please excuse my manners. I sometimes find the lack of compassion and the amount of ego mastrubation going on in this server very disturbing, as does OP as he said.

Also i normally try to be as polite as possible but here i have to say what is needed to say: Please shut the fuck up. How dare you speak in this manner when the OP is in such a sensetive position. If you were half as "enlightened" as you think you are you wouldn´t be spilling your poison on this vulnurable man.

Hello Paul. I´m sorry you have to feel this way. I can relate to most of what you said. Please don´t hurt yourself. If you think medical care will make you feel better then get medical care. Remember, most of these teachings are meant to relieve you of suffering, not put you in more suffering. The first noble truth is that life is suffering, the third noble truth is however that there is a way out of suffering. I hope you´ll find your own way out of suffering.

There is little to no turquoise audience on YouTube, if he wanted to reach an audience of more advanced people he wouldn't be on YouTube.

Sorry but i call bs. It sounds to me like he is trying to mix in fancy words to sound like he knows what he is talking about while explaining bullshit.

There are dangers to be avoided when dealing with chakras. Have a listen

The message isn't, in my opinion, that nothing is real, but rather there is no difference between real and not real as long as it is in your experience, your experience is all there is. Your love for your family is real because you experience it, so is their love for you. That which beholds all this experience is the same thing but that is at least in this context not that important. If you hurt yourself, their sadness will be as real as it gets

Opposite of enlightenment is becoming a hungry ghost
