@Schahin Intellectual words gymnastics are not going to help anyone practically in life. Ramakrishna Paramahamsar said A monk was travelling in a boat.He asked the boatman several philosophical questions for that the boatman said I dont know.The monk said you have wasted your life. The boat crashed in a rock and water started entering the boat now the boatman asked swamiji do you know swimming the monk said I dont know.Now the boatman said whats the use of all your philosophies swami and he jumped the river to swim to the banks. The monk died. --- If You dont take responsibility for your actions even god wont come to help. --- Metaphysically speaking Shiva never comes in to the world.Shiva doesnt know about creation world.

@Schahin Lol how drugs addiction - that person is not responsible but misfortune ? Lol - how a person will go bankrupt to the extent of loosing the home. Greed over leverage improper planning lack of adequate expertise in the field and offcourse unforseen change in policies lot of factors play in business.So if all the best efforts was made and loss happens. What else can be done ? Go to a job with the knowledge and expertise. -Note Nisargadatta Maharaj died of throat cancer due to smoking.

@AlphaAbundance A then seeker now enlightened master came to Nisargadatta Maharaj.Maharaj was asking about him then immediately asked him to study well get qualified got him admitted to a college - saying you think spirituality is hearing speeches singinging bajans and glorifying god. Go do your duty.Continue the practices.Take care of your family and as well contribute to humanity. Though Maharaj was not educated. Enlightenment is not dyeing enlightenment is merging with the universe. Enlightenment is realising truth oneness reality. Enlightenment is just absence of personal identity which is nothing but suffering. Enlightenment is not sitting idle and doing nothing. Action duties responsibilities everything will go has to happen who will feed you provide shelter health needs or your family needs but there will no you doing that. No need to afraid of death etc - the word death is misleading. Karma yoga is doing duties with atmost responsibility and perfection. Enlightenment is not bliss.Bliss is a stage in savikalpa samadhi.You are not that.

@Schahin Right now my understanding is (From Nisargadatta Maharaj) Drug addiction lethargy homeless ness - destroying the body and not living a healthy life is not spiritual life. Atmost responsibility honest life with integerity and service to all living beings is the purpose of spiritual life. Responsibility is not illusion.It is just a responsible action. "I am" responsible is the illusion.I am the doer is the illusion.I am the body mind is the illusion.Sense of i or me is the root illusion. Thoughts come and go actions happen there is no "you" doing that. It is the sense of i or me is causing the illusion of seperatedness. Right you now the sense of me or i is the one which is causing the illusion of seperation. So thoughts happen accordingly to that. When that sense of i or me goes the perception change happens when oneness interconnectedness of life is realised one is not bound by thoughts the actions will be naturally responsible. If you are not responsible in your actions - you will be jobless you will not be able to do any work - self employment business - concious moment to moment living is great responsibility. Meditation spirituality - purpose of living everything requires dedication sincererity effort - responsibility. Goal of self actualisation is to bring out the best possible potential from each one.

@SoonHei @SoonHei ??? Thank you.What you are saying is clear. But how to get rid of this i-sense or sense of me ? So that one is permanantly free from the ilusion of I or me.

@Enlightenment Just trying to understand since you are enlightened but still suffer from anxiety ? overactive amygdala. But some thoughts reason behind that anxiety isnt it ? Only the degree of anxiety will vary from person to person. But Can there be anxiety with out any reasons ?

@zeroISinfinity What was your method of meditation ? @electroBeam

@Enlightenment But there should be something some idea some concept left that is causing the anxiety isnt it ? Whats that ?

@Natasha Suffering getting hurt when I see wounded dogs animals so what wisdom knowledge can prevent that suffering ? Genreally enlightened dont classify or get identified with this masculine feminine classifications.

@AlphaAbundance it is not just about understanding it. One Understanding enlightenment is different from experiencing it actualising it embodying it.Reflecting that in action in real life. Just try this out - you will not be angry impatient but calm - irrespective of how the other person judge you insult you shout at you doesnt co-operate with you. There shouldnt be slightest aversion like dislike. There should be perfect equanimity. There shouldnt be iota of lust or lustful thoughts when you see a female.-You are not the body you are not male isnt it? Understanding one must be from all delusions anger rage hatred lust desires delusions sufferings pride shame guilt male-female patience calm tolerant compassionate no matter in what ever situation comes is different from actually being that.

@SoonHei @SoonHei ??? Can you pls explain this a bit more or help to understand this. What is this illusion of seperateness ???? I often hear this but still not clear.

@abrakamowse ??? Jesus wept when Lazarus died .... I strongly doubt if that is even remotely possible. Better to get it clarified from living enlightened beings.

@Enlightenment Suffering,fear,anxiety to my current understanding they don't even appear or not supposed to appear at all in the first case for a deeply enlightened - arrahat or what ever title with which they are addressed.

@Leo Gura offcourse I suffer ?-Leo what's that causes suffering to the body-mind of Leo @Socrates ? Can you give some life situations examples that causes suffering ? Note:-the question is for leo socrates your I'd came couldn't remove ???

@SoonHei lol that doesn't free one from illusion and suffering. Sounds to me like Neo-advaitha stuff. Self is beyond enlightenment and realisation and seeking. To be from the illusion and to be free from suffering ego must go mind must be transformed and sense of identity must go that's the seeking-path practice is all about. End of suffering means suffering must not appear in the first place.Non-violence means anger rage must not appear at all irrespective of what ever happens.Fearless means fear must not appear at all in the first place. It is not just understanding I am not the body mind. It is not just realising I am in a dream. It is not just remaining in peace in meditation and not rest of the time. In the matrix-with in the illusion how the enlightened mind acts in life situations disease death and all situations. This is my understanding so for on enlightenment-buddhahood-Liberation-freedom. ????

@Dwarniel @Dwarniel Are you successful in what you are doing - your current job ? Let the society be money minded one is bound by it when one is money minded. Are you currently mindful-giving full attention to what you do while working ? Are you fully satisfied with yourself about your work ?(not external appreciation or remarks) Are you peaceful calm while working or tensed stressed out irritated ? Work is workshop meditation when done in mindfulness moment to moment with out any selfish motive and done with service attitude with equanimity and staying calm in all situations. Money is essential for living - are you self sufficient from money point of view? After joining vipassana center for one year there will be a career break in terms of experience while trying to join the next job. Any how tell your current mind state to the vipassana center and they will help you clearing out your confusion.

@Hsinav @tsuki I live in a place where I don't have access to 5 meo (Bufo). I have to travel to Mexico to get that.May be I can stay there for a week or two. And take a few trips in that period. (Three or 4).Dosage - 30 to 40 mg. Now that will cost approximately 10000 USD including flight charges accomodation food transport and the ceremony expenses and other expenses I guess.(for a trip of 4) ----------------------------------------- Now what is enlightenment as per my understanding - Complete destruction of ignorance of I am the body,mind and complete permanent cessation of the sense of me or sense of i and not just cessation during the trip and returning of the sense of me once trip is over. What is Nirvikalpa Samadhi - The awareness is turned inside to its source The SELF. The sense of I gone there is no awareness of body,world,No thoughts - completely no thoughts. Awareness of awareness. It is not a state - It is pure awareness. The realisation enlightenment I am not the body mind and I am not the perceiver perceiving perceived Is supposed to be realized when mind returns after Nirvikalpa samadhi. No contemplation is possible in Nirvikalpa samadhi as there is no thinking mind thoughts. Once realized is realized.No returning back of I sense.No identification again with body mind. _--------------------------------------- Will taking 5meo help me in that ? Just three 4 trips in a period of two week stay. ----------------------------------------- And experience of 5meo by enlightened people like Pluto,enlightenment etc say 5meo can almost take to advanced concentration meditative levels but not enlightenment.It cannot make one permanently enlightened.Embodied. But Leo says 5meo is No duality - may be he enters non duality not just because of 5meo alone but due to his solid meditative background as well plus 5meo. Even Leo has taken several 5meo trips I guess. P Aaron says 5meo trips every week for 5 months 5 meo can bring some progress. -------------------------------------

@Hsinav Are you enlightened fully using physchadelics ? Which physchadelic you used ? With out physchadelic can you enter Nirvikalpa samadhi ?

@tsuki Enlightenment happens as an experience and then it fades away if not backed up by lifestyle and embodiment ??? Can you please explain what it means fading away and embodiment ? Once realized how it can fade away ? How many times you have entered Nirvikalpa samadhi ? And how long each samadhi lasted ?

@Aakash ???

@Alex bliss The avoidance of confrontation acceptance "with out getting hurt" or confrontation "with out getting" hurt". There will not be any anger resistance tension impatience irritation internally. Confronting if necessary also there wont be any suffering anger.Seemingly for others or the other person it will appear one is angry but internally one is not all doing that.one is calm.

@pluto ???

@pluto Please start a thread and request you to share your wisdom on this subject of food. What need to be taken and what needs to be avoided. ???

@SQAAD ??? Lol.Our master in disguise @SQAADdoes it again. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video.???

The attachment to body is deep rooted. The physical suffering like disease fever cold running nose pain there is a strong urge to get treated cured and free from that. For a seeker concious suffering is one of the practices suggested.(with in tolerable limits). But at the same time the body need not be ignored. It is the attachment to the body that must go. It is the aversion to suffering that must go. How to cultivate this ? Or this happens only Self Realisation. ????
