An young being

Yeah, right, I am studying the mind illuminated book techniques for improving my meditation practices. I am in Stage 2 now, let's see how it goes.

Great, thank you for helping me out. Will try with the pillow and see the results.

Right, I think using a stool type chair is a better choice in between the cross legged and chair poses. Whenever I lie on my back, I drift into a very comfortable nap! And yes, I definitely have to improve my strength and flexibility.

Thank you. I don't have difficulty with lotus position ( because I am from India and sit often in the floor in a position similar to that), but sitting too long in that pose definitely hurts. Definitely, I will try normal sitting posture for long durations.

Thank you for your views. Once I was doing meditation cross legged for around an hour and after that I had walked a bit. After a day, I felt sharp pain in both of my knee muscles and it was there for a whole month. After that I stopped meditating for long sessions. But I feel this depends on our physical strength also since I was very weak at that time.

Astrology is a game of probabilities. Or just a mind game.

All we will ever know, that's right. Even if we had reached the highest state of awareness, we see that's the truth because it is something we have not experienced earlier, something advanced. If a cell in our body somehow finds out that it's a part of a much bigger system called human body, it is enlightened. Similarly if we find out that we are entirely something different, we are enlightened, we experience it and that becomes the truth. But truth itself is infinite. One day in the future, our mind will evolve and we might have the capability to see things much clearer. Then that experience becomes the truth. This might go on till infinity until...? Until maybe the experiment is over

Have you understood reality or experienced it?

Hi people! For people who believe karma across lifetimes is real, has anybody had insights on what is determined by genetics (obtained from our ancestors like our appearance) and by our past life actions?
