  1. Thought is a movement. And mind cannot catch mind as mind itself is a thought. Now here's a paradox. The only thing faster than movement,is stillness. That which doesn't move is what perceives or observes movement. Thought, being an object/form ,as with all objects /forms, can only be seen or perceived in the space in which it appears. Space/emptiness is formless and also motionless or non-moving. That which you call "reality" is an illusion (neither real nor unreal. Not real because it is an impermanent ever changing appearance. But not unreal because it can't be said to be totally non existent or separate from absolute reality. Whatever is not existent,doesn't exist. Non-existence, does not-exist. To manipulate a belief would only change the seeming appearance of the illusion,but it still remains an illusion. And since it is your belief that your manipulating, the change in appearance would only appear to you and you alone.
  2. ??. Being is simple. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to simply Being,is in ones reluctance to just let themselves Be. A few lyrics from the song Down in hole (by Alice In Chains). "Well you don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be But look at me now , a man who won't let himself be." Singer,(Layne Staley) later died of heroin addiction.
  3. What you're not conscious of is unknown. Not necessarily that it doesn't exist.
  4. What is the size, shape,and dimension of awareness? What is it's colorless color,tasteless taste,soundless sound, smelless smell,non-felt feel? Where is something with no age,no shape,no boundary,no size,no dimension,located? Am (I),ever present awareness.. unaware?
  5. ?? Psychedelics or no psychedelics, sustained,unwavering intent (or Bakhti) for Truth,Love,God etc., above all else, is most important.
  6. You can never not be. As an experiment,right now, try, really try, not to be. Even in trying not to be, you still are. This is undeniable verification that "you are" or 'I.. Am". You do not have to try to Be,because You already and always are. So,if you inquire "what is This, that I am" (without referring to the mind or thoughts),what are you? Timeless, boundless, total, existence. Thus, I Am the undeniable, unbound, all encompassing,totality of existence. I Am.. what IS That, I Am.
  7. Who's the I that does ,or doesn't ,know anything? Does it even exist?
  8. The course go's well beyond simple positive thinking and law of attraction. It gets to the core of who and what you are.
  9. Living is Being (i.e Existing). Ask yourself 'Am I being, (i.e., existing) in this moment right now?" Be aware of being (existing), in this moment right now. Can you Be or Exist,anywhere else other than in this moment. Now /this moment is not a "thing" that can be caught or grasped by thinking or thought". The "I" of the mind or "I" mental concept (ego) being a thought, can never get to or be in this moment because it is, (as with all thought), bound to time. To Be in this moment,the mental "I" concept drops away. It disappears and it is found that this moment is timeless. It is also found that "I" (true I or true Self),am also timeless. In essence,you are the ever existing,ever living timeless moment. Trying, (i.e. grasping), to be in the moment is what keeps it elusive. Let your thoughts,the world,everything, go, And Be Aware of Being/Existing.
  10. Took the online course a few years back and highly recommend it. Especially for free. Get it while you can. You won't regret it.
  11. What is that by which it is known that I do or I do not know? For that to be known, it has to be beyond both knowing and not knowing.
  12. What do you know,or what knowledge do you have, other than the knowledge you've gathered from outside of yourself (books,teachers,peers,family,t.v. etc.)?
  13. You are, the meaning you are searching for. The desire for meaning results in the act ,and/or action, of seeking for meaning. Turn your attention back to that which is aware of the act/action of seeking meaning. In the recognition that, "I Am That which is aware",of the act and/or action of seeking meaning, the desire and the act of seeking meaning end. The recognition that I Am That, is the recognition that "I Am The Infinite All, That Is." Therefore, "I Am the meaning, and the end, of the desire and action of seeking meaning. ?️
  14. Look to your own experience. See: "I am conscious of activity"(brain or mind) "Being conscious of this activity, I am conscious of my activity: "Being conscious of my activity,I am conscious of myself" "Being conscious of myself,I am conscious of my thought of myself" "Being conscious of my thought of myself, I am just a thought" "If I am just a thought,then I am empty... (as all thoughts are empty of self-ness or self-hood.) Being empty,there is no self,no activity,no this,no that,no here,no there,no being,no non being,no other. Pure-Empty-Aware.
  15. What's next? You're not seeing the gift, or better yet, the gift of Grace, of "being too exhausted to think of what comes next". The "gift" , is the surrendering , of wanting or needing to know what comes next. You're being given the gift of simply Being. Living,abiding, here.... in the timeless awareness of this moment. Not thinking of a future "what's next",or a past "what was". THIS "nothing" presence, that is always and ever present here .. now... IS the"nothing" that is"everything". This "no-thing" that is also "every-thing"... is You. Looking for "what's next",is leaving the Reality of your true nature. Haven't you had enough of looking for what's next? "Blown away and exhausted from this realization to even try to think of what comes next" ... is the best thing that could have happened. That "thing", is the exhaustion, and the subsequent Surrendering to,the Truth and Reality of what IS.
  16. In the pondering of a concept, You are the pondering ,and that which is pondered. From where or from what, is that thing which is being pondered,conceived or "born"? That which conceives or forms a concept,idea or thought,becomes or takes the form of the thing/object/form, conceived. That which ponders,is and isn't (simultaneous paradox) the form/concept/thing pondered. In other words, Self pondering Self,Reality pondering Reality,God pondering God etc,etc.
  17. You were not born,You will not die.You were never young nor can You ever be old. You, have always been. Even before time. The time bound body can be young or old, but You, are not of time. Boundless, imperishable and without end,You are.
  18. Thought does not exist. Thought,or thoughts, are an illusory appearance that comes and go's. The thought "I" or" I-thought" that precedes all other thoughts, also does not exist and is an illusory appearance that comes and go's. No thoughts,no controller,no owner, exists. All but a dream. Wake up and realize this seemingly existent dream, is just a dream, appearing to have existence. What exists,what IS, that which has no shape or form,and never comes and go's,always,always IS. And ,since it always IS, it is always and immediately here... Now. These words are only an appearance,appearing in the dream,and do not exist
  19. There is only one consciousness and no such thing as "human" consciousness. "God" is conscious,formless, and his own creation of form. Since form is his creation,and is created out of his formlessness,he is both form and formless simultaneously. Thus,in being both formless and form,he is not separate. "God" can never be separate from his creation. The creator and the creation are one. The conscious creator, who's very nature is formlessness,is never bound by his creation of form. And therefore remains ever unaffected by it's destruction or dissolution. God is formless consciousness. "human being" is the manifested or created form,created out of formless consciousness or "God". Formless consciousness is the reality. Human being is the imagined creation. The reality (God,consciousness) is eternal,the manifested creation is temporary and will dissolve. Formless consciousness is the reality prior to the manifestation, and remains the reality after it's dissolution or "death". Formless consciousness is "human" consciousness,so there is no "becoming" formless consciousness. Timelessly, It is, and always was, formless consciousness. I Am That. "You" are That. All is That. THAT, IS what IS.
  20. So you're asking "what is meaningful, in relation to me?" Well,who are you? Find out what that is, and you will find the answer.
  21. A mini-universe. Microcosm. Yogi's of the distant past knew secrets of the universe through deep states of meditation, that scientists today are still discovering. Samyama, as Patanjali explains in the Yoga Sutra's, represents the last three steps of his eight-fold path put together: dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), samadhi (union). In samyama you become the object of your concentration.The yogi becomes the atom and therefore knows everything about it. He becomes the universe, or he becomes the light.
