    No, this is absolutely impossible to do in finite human form.

     

    It's not that big of s deal to wish well for everyone and everything. Or maybe it is.

    I know several philanthropists who are quite selfless who live a very very simple life. 

    Let's just agree to disagree.

    For Leo to die, Leo will have to read the New Earth or Power of Now by Eckhart tolle to find out what the ego is and how one can operate outside the ego.

    You will never reach such a point.

    As long as you are in this body, you will have biases and you will not be able to love totally.

    And that is okay. Life is about limitation and selective love. It's not about total love.

    Don't try to make love to a crocodile.

    Apologies that I am cutting into the conversation but I beg to differ with you on this.

    One can have biases but one can learn to love the other side of bias too with respect.

    Life is infinite love, this is your teaching. It is about total love. To love hitler is to love your mother. 

    Just because you can't make love to a crocodile doesn't mean you hate the crocodile. You can love it for its survival mode of living and for how its ancestors have lived. 

    One can be angry yet the moment one realises it, it can be changed to a place of love, loving the feeling of angry is love too. It's about living the experience.

    One can love an old woman just as he loves a model, showering with all good intentions for that person. To make love definitely has bias but that's natural, don't think can be applied to every part of life.

    If anything the sensation is a wonderful distraction from all your fears and every other feeling.

    All the demons and any perception you have at that point would fade away if you could just drop everything that's happening and just focus and dive deeper into the sensation. 

    I would recommend you take few deep breaths and sit through the fears and face it head on, once and for all so you can get over it. That fear is not real :)

    A lot of people have their third eye open and all I have heard are good things from it, wonder how you were mislead.

    What ever happens only happens for the best. If it's good then appreciate it, if it's bad then just remind yourself that you will only come out stronger from the episode.

    Can it be known how tall the body is?

    Does the body have a weight or volume?

    In the actual experience does the body have a shape or a form?

    Is there a boundary between the body and the clothing?

    Is there a boundary between the body and the chair?

    What does the word/label ‘body’ ACTUALLY refer to?

    What is the ACTUAL experience of the body?

    Look very carefully, especially with the last question.

    Take your time, don’t rush. You can look several times during the day while doing other things (like washing hands, showering, having a short break from work, walking, etc) before replying.

    The thing is, when i start to focus i get this burst of presence and after a while i get into unconscious thinking intensely. Like a harmonic oscillator i go toward one end and get pulled back. It seems i cannot get a consistent daily practice out of this as the ego backlash varies in intensity every time i practice mindfulness. This seem not to be the case for regular meditation that i do 30-45 min per day focusing on nothing. Only when i start to focus on something.

    Any tip on how to hold a good mindfulness practice and reduce the intensity of a backlash?

    Lowering heart rate will do wonder for the body and mind as lowering heart rate relaxes the body and reduces the intensity of thought. 

    Lowering of heart rate can be achieved by a longer exhale compared to the inhale, 5 mins of this prior to your meditation sit might change the outcome.

    And lets go metaphysical. Why am i not in the now all the time and need to practice it? Is there a reason for this function of ignorance? What is time? etc. 

     

    Time is a system created to bring in order and understanding to human mind but in reality doesn't exist as all we have at any given point of time is the present moment.

    This is how the game is designed.

    We are not in the present moment all the time as we are conditioned by birth to relate ourselves to the voice in our body. Once the identification with the voice becomes less, the more we ll be able to ground ourselves in being.

    Here are my questions about "being".

    Is what I described actually "being"? (If not, what would you call it?)

    I think we both are on the same page, absence of the monkey mind's voice and just feeling the present .

    Will I be able to access "being" much easier and frequently if I continue to expose myself to it?

    I think your thought process on this is on point.

    Will I ever be able to go throughout my daily life in this state or will I grow farther from it as I interact with reality throughout the day(s)? I was in that state when my eyes were closed but had trouble connecting to it when I opened my eyes.

    I feel daily life would be even better if the connection to being is strong.
