do you want to exist in your natural state or your mind addled state the meditation state is who you are you shouldn't force yourself to much lengthier levels than you are you used to else you will get frustrated and quit completely but gradually increasing over time works well the program has to be undertaken in terms of years and decades not weeks and months once you are able to reach high conscious states, you can ramp down the formal sitting so there is this to look forward to, if you will

enlightenment is having right relationship with the now, the path is just to remove everything that prevents the now from being its magnificent self, this has been my daily schedule i have adhered to for past 1.5 years ... still feel i am in very early stages of awakening, have not used any psychedelics or anything ... i tell myself that every minute on the mat melts away the resistance ... will keep on keeping on 8.30-4.30 = bed time 4.30-5.30 = yoga,shower,prayer,breakfast 5.30-7.30 = meditation 7.30-9.00 = online 9.00-10.00= break exercise brunch 10.00-12.00=work (home based, am a forex trader) 12.00-1.00 = break exercise lunch 1.00-3.00 = meditation 3.00-5.00 = work 5.00-6.00 = break exercise dinner 6.00-7.00 = entertainment movie/series 7.00-8.30 = online

what arises now terrible what arises not terrific take each first letter of these sentences these are the two sentences that come up in meditation i want to change the perfect exquisite flawless now and insert some illusory objects into it how stupid

"i do hereby swear, to live my life in accordance with grace"

ego is the way of creating two out of one, duality from unity, all thoughts and feelings do this, they create two where there is one take boredom, its polar opposite is excitement ... mind fluctuates between these two dualities the one is equanimity, this is boredom and excitement transcended, everything is fine everything is well everything is unfolding beautifully

Buddha said realization is no more conditioning, arrival is no more craving

love this poem thank you and welcome aboard x

possibilities are yes infinite, actualities are finite namely a countable set ... anything can happen but its probability is small

the only certainty is, i am all else is false this is the totality of what a person can know and this is step one on the path

almost nailed it you missed a word though ... it is grand ONE'S design, take each first letter ... greatest of designs ... if you will ... ever when asked what is god ramana maharshi replied what is is god

you are either inspired by the energy of the awakened ones like Leo, or if this is not your time you are not some words of osho

seeing it is not being it

the thoughts you have are just the mind rehashing the past get quiet and let god do some thinking on your behalf instead this is known as flow state or god mode and is how creativity arises

you are making this black or white, it is a continuum ... we have to climb steadily day by day but the answer to your question is we would rather talk than meditate, it is way easier

fear is the belief i am the body mind and i must endure love is knowing this is false and i am the all the fearless life is one characterized by a willingness to die every day every minute every moment, what happens is in the hands of existence die does not mean just no more body mind but also acceptance and surrender

it was hell for me til i reorganized my lifestyle to arise at 4am every morning, now it is automatic and the two hours breezes by, i couldn't say it is enjoyable and i cannot say in the 2 years i have done this anything remarkable happened but i certainly feel on the right track and will not quit

seems gender/sexuality cannot be taken away however, these are nature not nurture and one needs to live with these limitations sex itself can be transcended for sure but not the fact of one's gender

fully agree ... meditation is the only wholesome addiction, it keeps one on the straight and narrow ... it needs to be the bedrock, the unquestioned, the non negotiable ... every minute on the mat pays big dividends and is another knock on the door of awakening

what words follows awakening from what do i awaken from? sleep what is sleep? the state where i think me takes a rest for a while so what's the answer? you think god has taken a rest for a while and you the ego is running the show. what now then? the rest is over, it is time to resume being god but how? you didn't ask that, you just asked for a definition of awakening

crying is one of the best spiritual practices, it is a very effective way to get to no mind, words are gone and you are just a vulnerable child of god utterly lost in the moment

from childhood one is taught what i am is me, what i have is mine me is identity, mine is attachments self inquiry gives i am nothing and dismantles identity ... no word describes me self realization gives i am all and dismantles attachments ... if i am all, no need to desire what i am
