Very interesting.Not sure why so many enlightened people replying this thread.I used to visit ashram of an enlightened master.The rule is no questions regarding worldly problems.Strictly spiritual questions allowed.

@Joseph Maynor ???

@Joseph Maynor You say you experienced ego death but at the same time read somewhere saying ego can only be transcended meaning ego will exist but will seen as un real. So which is correct? Fullfledged ego death is possible or not?

@thesmileyone not all are the same stage level. Whats wrong in giving elaborate explanation.

@Aakash what's the difference between enlightenment and liberation? Can you pls explain the difference?

@thesmileyone Bhuddist First three fetters only intellectual not non dual. Remaining fetters are purifucation of mind. Not absolute non duality Truth. @winterknight

@mandyjw You are the only person who keeps emphasizing on the feeling love. ?. I haven't read any enlightenment masters speaking about love. My understanding is more limited to desirelessness, detachment. May be u are unique and u love "love" more than anything.

@Monkey-man Friend 5 meo dmt helps to reach deep super concious states which is ever deeper that's my understanding. Meaning one can be enlightened but may not be having deeper insights. So it seems there are levels in enlightenment. I am neither enlightened nor had taken any physchadelics. But I keep my mind open with out accepting or Rejecting what Leo says. But also read somewhere in the net 5 meo usage many times could cause permanant brain damage. @Leo Gura may be leo should comment if 5 meo cause brain damage if any.

@tedens Sure I will. Thank you.

@Preetom ?????? This i can understand.

@Preetom Thank you Maharaj ? for your wishes. But still I am not able to understand what you are saying. Awareness is aware of everything that is clear. Till that point it is clear. So awareness can witness the thoughts sensations feelings and also the "I feeling". Also including the feeling of waking state that I am awake. The feeling I am awake is constant all during the waking state. But none of the above is the Awareness. Or in otherwords the awareness witness perceiver or the subject cannot be perceived. The awareness cannot be located or foccused upon???? Self Inquiry - focussing on the I feeling. Witnessing - observing everything as witness. Only to this extend I am able to understand. So what I am failing to understand? My appologies for my inability to understand.

@Preetom what is putting awareness on awareness? How to do that? Can you pls explain in detail?

@phllip103 You are trying too hard seriously i guess. Try gently.

@Peo Hold on to the sense of me continously that's self enquiry. Or just try to witness every thoughts feelings emotions.

@winterknight Thank you

@winterknight @winterknightMy question is he is saying that an arrahat is supposed to be completely free with out any traces of desires lust hatred etc sounds something like vasana kshyam. So after SR one is completely free from them with out appearing ? Or it takes time to completely Purge the old bodily mental tendancies ?

@Schahin No matter how curious you are you will never get the answers that will satisfy your curiosity - mind. One answer will lead to another question. Its a never ending trap - delusion. You are simply assigning concepts like god divine intervention meaning purpose of creation life mostly due to religious craps. God is love. Why there is so much evil in the world? Why the creation is not perfect? Why the god is not punishing evil crimes then and there? All questions are based on the basic assumption build on the concept god isnt it? When you become realized all these questions will get dropped. ( note :- I am not enlightened)

@Pouya@Pouya don't bring the true happiness here. Whether you like studying memorizing there are millions others ready to do that. You don't want to study thats fine but you should be ready to do the low paying physical effortful work with out cribbing. Or may be you can choose some career related to psychology theraphist kind of career which is more aligned to your interest in conciousness work. Which will fetch decent money as well. But outright unwillingness to study you will end up poor. Who will give a job for your personal philosophies about happiness?

@Pouya yes stop the conciousness work and study well focus on the career. With money you can choose your suffering. With out money you have to suffer what ever life throws you upon. Enlightenment is not going to feed you pay your bills and meet out your and your family expenses.

@Dumb Enlightened ???

@Schahin drop these meaningless questions and be happy.

@Dumb Enlightened enlightenment is absence of identity. Can you pls explain the difference between the enlightenment and deeper enlightenment experience?

@Javfly33 I am unable to understand what u want. Except you want to get rid of addiction. To get rid of addiction say smoking is your addiction. First have a strong will that you won't smoke. Next the moment the craving urge to smoke comes be mindful try to be concious of the craving. Give your full attention on the craving. You will find the craving disappearing. But it doesn't mean the craving will not appear later. Repeat the process till you have come out of addiction. Anger i don't know.

@Wisebaxter God is neither the doer nor the experiencer but in its presence all is happening. God is not love nor hate. God is called saguna brahman in advaita - with out any attributes qualities.

Sometimes i my attention goes sone where and hear hearbeat like sound but it appears as if it comes from brain. Not sure if some thing in brain too vibrates like heart. ?
