this is great advise, thank you

I just stated that worrying can exist even when you know there is nothing to worry. Beside that, i can agree with all that you said.

This topic wasnt meant to be about nonduality, but about integration of no-thinking state to practical life. This debate just turn into who has better understading of nonduality, we just start debate about words and definitions i had glimpses of nonduality and basic undestanding of it too, i am not enlightened and i am not saying that i dont have an ego. I have lot of work to do to embody insights of nonduality and i am aware of dualistic nature of language wich is a reason we disagree even we are talking about the same thing

Depents on your definition, if you define knowing as a being i agree with you.

One thing i learned from psychadelics is that knowing something is only a feeling and in fact i know nothing. My intuition leads me throught life and i have no idea where it is, where it leads me.

You know there is nothing to wory about right? But if there is a hungry grizzly bear aproaching you in full speed you would shit your pants wouldn't you? Even in a lucid dream you would get scared.

@Carl-Richard There is difference between knowing something intelectualy and embodying it. In one sence i know there is nothing to wory about, but in the other sence i am in denial of that for sure. God can choose to experince worying if he want to and it is exactly what he is doing, thats the reason why worrying exist.

exactly! agree, we are always ourselfs

I get your point, but i think you dont get mine. I know there is nothing to worry but worrying is still happening, are you in denial of that?

There is no I, but there is still experience of doing and worrying. Choises are still made, thinking is still happening. In relative sence these things exist. As long as there is experience of life, these things need to be deal with. I know i am in my esence enlightened but practical issues are still present and if i am living an ordinery life sometimes dualistic thinking is needed in my opinion.

I can relate to this. This is why i hope death is definitive, i dont want to reincarnate as someone who suffers like some other people suffers and if i am eternal its inevitable that i will. This is the most scary thing for me, much more scarier than death.

My question was about purpose of thinking relative to my practical life, i know its ilusion i am just asking within the ilusion. Question was about a content not a structure.

Yes intuition is powerful thing, but can make mistakes too. I think that thinking and intuition works with each other in synergy. Thinking is like dialog with yourself wich helps you organize your experiences in your mind and then it helps your intuition to be even more acurate.

In this case your definition of "no mind" is different than mine, well switch "no mind" for "no thinking" then.

good point, maybe its wrong only because i am addicted to it this comment actually made me realise this, thanks

Thanks for reply, what are you talking about is being present, nomind state is a different thing in my opinion.

Thanks for replying but i think this is not really answer to my question. I think even if i have good values and healthy life purpose i can still fall into some traps and because of that i think i need to use thinking to self-reflect sometimes. And i am curious if i can be in no-mind state and still self-reflect somehow or need some balance.

But there is a danger that i am working mindlessly on something wich is destructive. This is a reason why i want to use my mind to self-reflect but i am curious where is that balance or if its possible to be in flow constantly and still avoid the trap of toxic life purpose.

@Leo Gura i like the idea of not coming back maybe more then coming back to this ego bullshit i love life but i think in some point in life i can say i've seen enough and want to remain in piece

@James123 Thank you for your reply. So idealy i use thinking only when i want to, am i right?

Are you able to fully accept physical pain? I can accept emocional stuff easily but when it comes to severe physical pain i suffer through it. Is it possible to transcend pain trought concentration? I would like to know if someone of you can do that and could give me some tip or advise about how to develope this skill.
