meditation is getting so relaxed that you drop off not to sleep but off the planet and then return to planet in this mode

life is what i identify with, minder of body or watcher of awareness overwhelmingly we are the former and only through grace do we meet the latter the work is to dwell more and more with true nature so it returns to default all the while happy to step back into the cosplay going on all around key to the default state is no mental exertion, whatever happens isn't my business i desire nothing to affirm my existence whether outside or inside though should it happen not a biggie

meditation is ending experience not entertaining it thinking you get some reward or result is the obstacle and the deception there are no buttons to press no dials to tune the mind scoffs and squirms at all of the above it demands progress and growth and maturity there is no method no system no formula you get there when ego no longer hoodwinks you sit still shut up switch off sink deep

the journey is trust to truth the bridge is, to test this involves you doing the work to see what they see trust is a temporary stage where you are all in ... you do whatever it takes ... no hesitation no doubt no limit trick is trust the right one

indeed you do ... you have to work up to it from meditation to outside walking to noting it while reading and writing to monitoring while interacting breath is ever communicating its message, for example you can easily switch on the sympathetic / parasympathetic nervous system by making the outbreath longer / shorter than the inbreath i strongly recommend the book Breath by James Nestor if you like this kind of thing, he goes a 10-year odyssey to get to the bottom of breath and another outstanding book while i am at it is The Presence Process that is predicated on conscious breathing

everyone is selfish, you included if you are being selfless it is just a short-lived gambit to win others over so they say wow finally a less selfish person everyone is calculating precisely if unconsciously the exact amount of selfishness to make their life as luxurious and care-free as possible don't blame me for being selfish ... it is merely me extracting the most i can with the cards i am dealt and you are exactly the same forgive everyone, forgive yourself and then enjoy everyone around you as artefacts placed in your life to raise your consciousness

beware the sorcery of source

whatever you say or write provided you have a structured half smart brain the last thing is the most important thing the first thing is the least important thing save the gold for the end and reel them in with the funny anecdotes at the start in the main, you need to watch and study backwards last chapter, last few minutes, always first people love their own voice and pompous words and the resultant paycheck to your everlasting detriment wise up

there is no need for straining yourself with convoluted elaborate pranayama feats, you are it already

ego says all of this well and convincingly and pretty much all buy it ego however is the creator of the illusion of a separate universe it wants to hang out here as long as possible and be monarch supreme and why ever not! ego did one thing, it claimed separation, bam, all of this resulted once it disavows the lunacy of separation god is back in town no hurry of course, enjoy all the engaging toil and chasing tail

yea one always thinks that way, i say the number of breaths allocated is set in stone so don't be god through heroic breathing rather instead by breathing who you are

breath is the vibration of the absolute that you as a body mind rides breath control is impossible ... we try to tweak it but better to watch it and see that is does its own thing to consciously ride along with breath, become one with it, is the best we can do, and is a lofty spiritual practice breath is the gateway to beyond

story is all you stored ... wake up each day with a clean slate there's one sin only s.i.n = separation imagined now drop even that

you mind wants to see fear, it's its food it's also your teacher that you choose differently

god knows not what anger is ... would you be angry at your hand, your heart, your blood? god has never known anger for even a second

yes we need such an outlet, the world is much the better for it ... else the anger messes with you for life

in maths we say learn that one book and learn it well this elevates you to master then you are ready to speak for the first time chess by the way is finite imprudent trivial

mind is moment making machine, stringing together moment after moment time is how fast the mind sees with a better mind your life could speed up to one day god enjoys the slow boat and why not if you've created all the time in the world

yes it's good to let rip to really give anger the space it requires ... i have a punch-bag i use that gets to see every swear word in the book very cathartic

such questions and conversations are best had with chat-gpt when it confuses you then ask something here here is the last port of call not the first

it's the most beguiling mistress ever! you're with her for hours which feels like a minute, and you're like do i really need to sleep today? once she gets her fangs into you, you are putty for life

what maths brings to the table: precision, elegance, intelligence, scalability, universality, proof, abstraction, logic, symmetry, axioms, joy, computation, topology, paradox, optimization, impartiality, incompleteness (Gödel), applicability source: one who pored over its tricks for a quarter century

everything you see right now through your eyes is god which if you notice includes yourself if you really know this, this is knowledge were you to actually live this, that is love so how to love right now? treat whoever's in front of you real good here's a nice pointer and a cool song to boot: if you can't love the one you love, love the one you're with 🎵

yes ... both a course in miracles and the disappearance of reality, suggest some 3rd-millennium ways forward

i say that solipsism is 90% of the spiritual work get yourself alone and get convinced that you're the only who can help you then you might wake up ... else you won't so solipsism is step one in this journey and one most are unwilling to even entertain after you wake up then you can start dealing with more than just subjectivity
