@Aakash what is a fetter? What are the 10 fetters? ?

@BIggleswerth The sense of me or i feeling Is present or absent in nothingness? Nothingness means complete absence of subjective identity. Not just thoughts, feelings. Is it that nothingness you are taking about?

@Aakash ???

@Preetom ???

@Aakash its your very being is awareness? It doesn't come and go. Can you please explain. So what haopens to this awareness during deep sleep?

@Zigzag Idiot ???

@Zigzag Idiot As long as the sense of me is there that's not possible.

@clouffy Toxic shame, lack of purpose, lack of love and acceptance, loneliness, failure career relationship, financial crisis, lack of confidence to face life, depression. Anything could be a trigger. It depends on the life situation and varies.

@thesmileyone ????????????

@Truth Addict I don't understand? How to surrender the i feeling or sense of me?

@Leo Gura does this mean enlightened persons can be concious of their immoral and evil nature and indulge in the same with out any pricking of moralality ethics and cheat harm others accepting that as their nature and inadequacy? So its just about getting rid of sense of me? Is it not about complete transformation of mind as well? No annihilation of bayd nature and habbits aka vasanas as told by Ramana maharishi?

I still don't understand your issue. The narative talks about ex wife and then suddenly comes "his wife" insult and loss of 4k.that doesn't matter. Iam not from your country so don't know about your judiciary system process laws and how long it will take to get justice? Advocate fees etc is it worth your time effort and peace.?

@Leo Gura i dont think i will get dmt in India? Can cannabis give the same results? And whats the cost of 5 meo dmt?

@Preetom ?

@Preetom your explanation seems to remind me what is bhakthi as per sri Ramana maharishi by sri saadhu om.

@MM1988i am not sure why some say bhakthi or absolute faith love towards god or surrender to god is easy way of self realisation. May be some one in the forum can explain what this bhakthi surrender love faith of god or how to proceed in the path. Thumb rule is no expectations from god.

@Ampresus better to choose non controversial masters programs. One can be easily mislead by rajneesh books.

@Leo Gura Dear leo there may be and may not be reasons for depression. Serotinin imbalance is the reason for depression is my understanding. So proper treatment medically and physchotheraphy counselling could be the best possible solution. Depression is killer. Loneliness withdrawing from society friends lack of interest motivation no energy enthusiasm to do any thing. Depressed people need physcological help medical treatment. @Serotoninluv

@AlphaAbundance Concious about health has nothing to do with fear of death. It is knowledge about healthy life of mind and body. Why would you self harm your body mind knowingly?

@Preetom only for few seconds it happened to me. I was speaking to my dad. Suddenly the speaker was not me. Body was not me. But after that back to old pattern.

Be a witness. let go. Dont try to alter change or have a conviction that you should be comfortable. All thoughts feelings come and go. Just you dont disturb them. The more you fight or flight the more power you are giving to them. Do nothing just be.

@thesmileyoneIf there is a sense of me or identity one is not enlightened. If there is no sense of me one is enlightened. This is what i understand. Is it is an experience yes defenitely it is. It is not an intellectual understanding. - - Actually this helps kind of simple explanation helps a seeker and put him out of unnecessary confusions of what enlightenment is. Offcourse what it means to be living with out an identity or sense of me has to be experienced by the seeker and know what it means enlightenment is. Imo There is nothing wrong in saying to a seeker yes i am enlightened and sharing the experiences or path practice difficulties one faced in the path. If the masters kept quiet with out saying anything about enlightenment or self realization the rest of the people would never had a chance to know who they are or what is reality.

@ivankiss do you have the experience of the moment when one enters in to sleep? Do you have the experience of moment of waking from sleep? Can you clarify - there are many ways to experience it? I think after death there is nothing to experience. Body mind is gone? So what experience? Nothing one doesn't exist.

@thesmileyone can you differentiate between fire and the light it emanates? The nature of the self is silence peace bliss what ever.

@thesmileyone are you enlightened? Just curious to know the difference between I am having toothache and its painful and There is toothache and its painful?
