@David Hammond enlightenment means end of the inner resistances of conflcts of mind? A sense of constant inner peace irresoective of external situation. Non identification with thoughts emotions feelings. Or equanimity in seeing the them irrespective of good or bad. Constantly in the now or flow. Stopping the thoughts and enter the non dualistic conciousness at will. Accepting life as it comes. Living with out desires (less desires) less thoughts. The above are some of my imagination about enlightenment. Pls let us know if that's correct.

@Kallan take anti depressants

@Leo Gura beautiful ?. Welcome back to the forum after your retreat. How was your retreat? ?

@now is forever Any thought emotions feelings experienced gives the idea of me. Beyond that i couldn't crack for now.

@Joseph Maynor at least those words seems to motivate the curiosity. Else enlightenment being awareness conciousness infinity atman nibanna doesn't give any clue hint to what it is to the seekers mind ???

@Sharp after death you wont exist. That's it. Like in sleep. So whats that you want to know by dieing.

@Jack River All that is experienced is not truth. It keeps changing.

@Sharp why u want to die? ?

@Truth Addict by knowing what we are not we know we are - Nisargadatta Maharaj. In the absence of sense of me there seems to be no seperate perciever or in complete absorption there seems to be no seperate perciever. But that cannot be the case. Any how i am not awakened self realized. Will do the practice as suggested. Thank you. ?

@Truth Addict a thought cannot know another thought like wise a sensation cannot know another sensation feeling etc. So something which is unchanging is knowing other objects. The perceiver cannot be the percieved.

@Truth Addict awareness is the knower. The objcets thoughts sensations feelings body etc are different from the subject isnt it? ?

@noselfnofun The problem with monk hood in an organised organisation is you will have to adhere follow what they say.So live like a monk in home.

@How to be wise Interesting.But you said you all ready don't have the sense of me for several months. But you are saying you are experiencing nothingness for the first time. So nothingness is not you ? Or nothingness is an experience ? So who are you now ?

@andyjohnsonman yes ignore those stories.Leo is wrong.Nobody is born.Nobody dies.It always is.Howz that ? :))

@ajasatya :)) experience of no thoughts I understand.beyond that I am unable to understand anything what you say :))

@ajasatya No self means absence of thoughts + absence of me feeling ? Isn't it ?

@Dumb Enlightened what is spiritual autolysis? How to do that? Which is better autolysis or self enquiry?

@Preetom @Preetomhe@ was addicted to Nitrous oxide much before the arrest.

@Neorez I don't know who jed is but Learn only the method techniques if any offered by the masters. In general traditional masters are safe. They won't mislead or give wrong advises.

Chandra Mohan jain alias acharya Raineesh alias Osho a criminal - J.Krishnamurthy A pimp who called himself bhaghvan. He was against purification of mind,renounciation,celebacy.sexual morality He criticized traditional marriage system family parent hood advocated free sex and the bastartized children brought up by the commune not by family parents.fooled people that self realisation can be realized through sex. Praised Hitler charged heavily for his meditation courses called himself richmans guru.Had sex with disciples.was having 91 rolls royce and his gullible followers trusted his words as gospel of truth and kept donating him not realizing he is fooling them. Only people who with a purified mind desirelless free from cravings not after sex,money,fame,power can be truly said to be enlightened. Osho was a pure evil I'm.thank good America threw him out and 21 other countries recognized him as an evil and denied visa and finally had to return India and died 3 years after that.

@Sharp Funny guy ???

@Peo Offcourse they do exist ??? and obviously one will think you have gone nuts if you say they don't exist ???. Just say you are interested in medation and emotional mastery. May be the retreat is expensive so they are skeptical.

@Highest that's interesting. The knower is the awareness and it is not illusionary is what i am thinking so for. The perceiver is not the perceived.

Hello friends not sure if this is a relevant topic to be posted in spirituality. I am suffering from earworms. A peace of song music getting repeatedly voicing in head. I don't hear music. But in outdoors when happen to hear a song it keeps irritatingly repeating in the head. Please suggest a permanent remedy or cure for this disease. Thank you.

@hikmatshiraliyev why take chances. Practice do nothing, mindfulness, self enquiry.
