  1. Who are you again?
  2. If you want consciousness 24/7 then be conscious when doing other activities also.
  3. Life is partly suffering. By making the choice to focus on the positive we gradually transcend it. Thats my belief.
  4. I'm not there?
  5. Why share anything? Isn't teaching just sharing?
  6. How to prove it?
  7. In my life the majority of people I know are happy because of their career/work. Just offering another perspective. Hopefully helpful.
  8. Why exploit? Your success doesn't necessarily mean someone else's failure, does it?
  9. The sense of me being real is the most real thing there is.
  10. How does the idea help you? If it doesn't help, you might consider you're not understanding it correctly. Or it's false. After all, it's supposed to be in accordance with reality, and being more in touch with reality should be helpful.
  11. What amount of fear is healthy? Is there no better way of motivating yourself to change a behavior? I don't like fear.
  12. Enlightened people are supposedly free from the fear of death
  13. If therapy would serve as an obstacle to finding true peace and happiness it wouldn't be very good therapy. Both spirituality and psychology deal with the mind. There are ineffective therapists, and so probably ineffective spiritual teachers. Both aim at a happy mind.
  14. Nice
  15. You had awakenings to God, not enlightenment, correct?
  16. You're not enlightened so how are you saying it's this or that? I'm not enlightened either.
  17. thanks, will reflect and think on this tomorrow
  18. Here's an idea, build an enlightenment ego. A strong ego is simply confident. So you can be confident in your enlightenment search. I know what I want (enlightenment), am not afraid about it and strive confidently for it.
  19. interesting
  20. I think thinking is overrated. When you're not thinking is often when you're most happy. Are you even thinking when typing this kind of stuff?
  21. To me no ego means you recognize other people are worthy of being, just like you. So humans aren't bad in any way. I don't really see how this is spirituality, it's just being human. I think spirituality is about proving that we are consciousness, not a body. Also about how to live happily in the moment.
  22. At 16 y/o when I started spirituality you couldn't get me off of this stuff, totally addicted. Unhealthy. I would suggest age makes you look different at things, at 25 my perspective was yours, at 29 I look at it all as necessary steps.

  24. No.
  25. How do you know?
