@4201 a question: do you meditate? I've been avoiding meditation for a long time, like: I'm going to focus when I drive, play sports, make my life a meditative activity. Error, this doesn't work. It is very lazy at first, but you have to meditate, and if it can be two full hours each day, at least one. This makes a huge difference in your life. something as simple, mechanical as sitting and watching your mind is the key. I think a lot of people meditate sometimes, and it doesn't ... it has to be constant. internalize that it is as important as work or more

It would seem that existence creates itself from non-existence, although saying "it creates" is not entirely correct since it implies a before and after and there aren't, because if there were nonexistence, and at some point the existence arose, it is that there was always existence since the nonexistence is not. it would be "is being created". How is this possible? perhaps because existence is really nothing, but that nothing creates images, dreams in which it manifests itself, not randomly, but very deliberate. So this nothing that dreams a dream so perfect, beautiful, complex ... what is it? I don't know if this is possible to go deeper and understand that

the seeker is a mountain of shit that wants to clean itself. there's nothing to seek, just shit to remove

@VeganAwake ? obvious, there is only one THIS, but it can take the appearance of a paradise or a hell

?? It's necessary to work, don't be lazy, don't go with the flow

the emptiness of the mind is what allows the fullness and beauty of what is to manifest. identification is the root of compulsive thinking, and it makes beauty take on the appearance of suffering, even though it remains beauty. the issue is how to reverse the identification, which comes from fear The answer would be: completely losing the fear of death. the next question is how to do this, and the answer would be: undoing the identification.

true, concepts only lead you to other concepts and they all separate you from the reality that is happening right now

I love you too, but I would love you more after giving you a beating?? jocking, it's totally forgotten

There is a lot of randomness, but observe the evolution, from a big bang from which the elementary particles of matter appear out of nowhere, the perfect organization of these to create the elements in the perfect cycles of the stars, governed by stable forces, the appearance spontaneous life, the evolution from the cell to complex animals, the human brain capable of understand all ... more than a train without direction it seems the work of a creative genius with a cosmic power and ambition

What I think when I see those people is that I am them ... and what a shit it is to be them. It seems fine to me to be a dog, a rock or a tree, but being those people is dramatic. a cosmic joke, or a cosmic fucking

Do you think so? seems very deliberate, intelligent, with a purpose.

So? What do you mean ? that is not relative to this thread, it is a comment I made to you about your tendency to insult.the mods remove your insult and my answer. I don't understand why you put it here ...better not to contaminate the thread, don't you think?

the idea of death is a great meditation tool. nothing is more contrary to the ego than death. everything you say about fear of getting old, wasting your life, etc., is pure ego. There is nothing like a good or bad life, only the present moment, free of judgment. if you stick in the present and free the mind of thoughts, the fear of death disappears, because it is seen that the impersonal amplitude that you are cannot die. it is the same for any being, and if your body disappears, there are still countless other bodies existing. But of course, forget about your ego, there will be nothing left of it. that's why you have to die before you die. generously surrender the i. Or not so generously, i surrender it to gain the permanence and the beauty, maybe that's why each time i do i have a big ego reaction. The no ego is full of beauty , but empty of content. The ego hates that emptiness

You're right, but human nature makes it easy to be deceived. the fear of rejection is great. and human society is full of claims, of false paths to happiness. it is easy to fall into them, and when you internalize them are imprinted on the person, it is difficult to go back. intelligence is needed, or a lot of luck

I think you need some intelligence so as not to get lost in false paths, dogmas. although many high iq people get lost in them. It is a type of honesty, as @RickyFitts said, that allows you to Let the false away, and the courage to undo any mental anchor

@Javfly33 I'm at the point that meditating for a longer or shorter time identifies a point that creates the separation. In doing so, the separation disappears and there is amplitude, without i. nothing, but something, since everything that is being at that moment is. there is no before or after, only pure now. the problem with this is that it is empty of content. it creates a feeling of lack of anchorage, and if I stay there for a considerable time, when the thoughts come they do so with anger. memories of trauma, identification with the past, the ego in full force. there it is obvious who the separating factor is and how it does it. the ego is the construct formed by all your reality as a social being that gives you a human identity. what you were for your parents, your friends, your judgments on yourself throughout your life. what you are as a professional, friend, brother. it is full of "life", of events, wealth in some way. while the non-ego is empty, mute. beautiful but without content. it is very difficult for this emptiness to resist the force of the ego. The thing is that the ego is a construct, false , and because His falsehood, there is always a sensation of lack of something. The no ego is real, and let a sensation of fullness, but because his characteristic of subtle, empty, it's very difficult to stay there

So, what is the point of saying that God is desperate in his eternal loneliness? in addition to scaring people not as advanced as you, who have not had those realizations. I had many realizations of being the absolute alone, some was horrible, others was bliss. I don't trust any. Any realization could help you to dissolve the ego, but believe them as a dogma make the opposite. No idea is real.

This is false. Unbearable is a sensation of your ego. The void is not bored!

there is only one "thing", the infinite void that takes shape. in a vacuum there is no time, so it does not take forms in chronological order. For you, who are a form, only you exist, as emptiness, and the other forms are in your imagination, and for me, the same, and for each of the forms. the reality is that you are alone because you only exist, the emptiness that exists, but not because the other forms do not exist. it is irrelevant if they exist. for you, everything is in your mind. Realize that is impressive of course, but if you are in the ego mode you are not alone (you, who don't exist have the company of others who neither exist), and if you are in the empty mode "you" don't mind if you are alone

If we accept that time is an illusion, since reality is emptiness, what difference would it make in saying that you are going to live all your lives one after another, or that you are living them at the same time?

Exactly. If you look at yourself from the point of view of death, you will see that your "I", your sense of yourself, never existed. it was a mirage. but being, existence, cannot not be. what happens is that it is impersonal, empty.

you have no doubts about that, maybe you should. friend, reading you it becomes clear that you have no real intention of getting out of the well. be honest, do you want to go out? 1 the well in which you are is been creating by yourself, you know it, right? 2 you don't want to get out of it, you are torturing yourself and you don't want to stop doing it. Why? You have to find the answer I have been in the well of desperation, i got out of it, and now i see that all was my creation, because my vanity. I thought I was the last of the last and the reality is that my vanity was enormous, that's why I was tortured for myself. for my "importance", for my inability to accept what is. for rebellion, pride. As tatsumaru i have gone through a long, difficult, strange way of struggle. I just tell you one piece of advice: be honest

@vedame feel identified, my family history is very dysfunctional, narcissism, addictions and abuse, and my parents died of cancer consecutively in my adolescence, with which there is no possibility of contrasting anything. There is only one solution: you are not your past, there is nothing to fix, nothing was wrong, you do not have to analyze what happened or fight against it, just accept it completely and love it. How? completely eliminating the idea that something had to be different. how to achieve it? meditation. You are the present, you always were. the "story" you tell yourself is pure fantasy. my father gave me a gift, it prevented me from dwelling on the ego. As soon as I start to be there I go into loops of negativity, an alarm that tells me: get out of there. I meditate for an hour, and that's it, there's nothing like that, it's a pure anecdote, a situation like any other. reality manifesting. I feel love for my father, and compassion. any amount of rage, revenge, hatred, feelings of injustice, victimhood ... pure ego. I'm a lucky guy, since I'm forced to come out of the ego, and the ego is a trap, either way. I feel that I have an advantage over people with a healthy ego, they have a hard time getting out of jail

You could do all those things without be enlightened, you only need to do a work of identifying your traumas, repressions, accepting yourself completely, and eliminating any trace of competitiveness in you. it's not easy but you don't have to be buddha

All It is a movie that I am creating at this very moment, about me, what I did, my girlfriend, my father. I am fully aware of it at this very moment. the problem is that I can't stop it. and this movie prevents me from appreciating the beauty of the moment. but I know that without this movie there would be no "me" who would appreciate the beauty of the moment Not true, is totally possible to stop it, just need more understanding
