God minus all the concepts like zero, infinity ect. is what I'm pointing to. Islam for instance has the right idea when they say God can't be spoken of. Let alone being described in terms of a mathematical equation.

@who chit That's just the tip of the iceberg. What is less then zero?

Anybody hear from the Op in the last 6 hours?

@SQAAD Can you imagine your mind being like a perfectly still lake? Well that would be w-a-a-a-y more thought then a Zen monk. Check out this story from Alan Watts @2:00

@Amun PSTFU?

@Bluebird If you were taking your last breath you'd love everything unconditionally. Live every moment like it's your last.

@Pouya A still mind has no belief system.

Check out this Guild Navigator guy. He's kept in an atmosphere enriched with 5-MeO

@QandC Here's a little fun fact for ya. There’s an expression, allegedly Polish in origin, that says if you learn a new language you gain a new soul. Bylund, who speaks three languages, does not go so far. He does note, however, “If you speak two languages, then you can sort of inhabit two world views at the same time, and you can flexibly switch between them. As a bilingual speaker, you can have two different time perceptions. That's fascinating.”

Even if everyone agreed 100% on one communicable truth how could you ever be sure everyone's perspective were really the same ?

@QandC No that's not fine. Everybody should have the same perspective as me.

Or choose your sex partners very carefully!

@zambize I just heard that. Years ago my boss at work was heavily into spirituality- TM. He would only eat cheese, fruit, veg. nuts ect. I remember one day I was going to a deli to get a sandwich for lunch and he asked if I could p-u some sliced cheese for him. He said "make sure they don't slice it on the same slicer they use to slice the meat". So when I got back at work I asked him why was that? He said "when the animal is slaughtered the memory of that tragic event is carried into all the cells of their body where it is retained and by consuming the meat you were also consuming the tragic memory of being slaughtered".

@SQAAD Not sure about sex but I've heard by eating meat/flesh you absorb the memory.

@lmfao What difference is there between the I that is doing the defining and the mind?

@SoonHei Without the world where are you? Who are you? That is deep!

@SoonHei I was reading your post then afterwards I was listening to this and thought his words and what you were expressing here were so similar. I think you may resonate with him very well. I know I do.

@SoonHei "Catch hold of the knower of the mind". Do you ever listen to Nisargadatta? Good stuff.

@Pouya Contentment is what you get. Acceptance of what is exactly as it is. But that only comes when the ego is silent. When it stops preferring to have that over this. As is with the case of you watching the clock and spending the time thinking of all the other things you could be doing instead of practice (what is). You say you want lasting peace and happiness but remember this, it is not the world that changes but your view of it.

@Pouya Most likely you can't sit because your ego got you into enlightenment for all the wrong reasons in the first place. It discovered something new called enlightenment and thought to itself "That sounds like something cool. I don't have enlightenment so I need to have some of that or else I'm missing out." Then you had one profound experience which pleased the ego enough so it doesn't want to do it anymore. It would rather be doing something else to hold it's intrest. You gotta get that under control or else you'll spend the rest of your life chasing after one thing to another for what the ego desires.

The enlightened man knows infinity is all around him.

Thought = form. Form doesn't nessarily need to be matter. Be very careful of what you think of guys!

@Bluebird Great point .. differnt views of the same one phenomenon. Some may generally refer to it as your "inner demons".

@Nexeternity Huge fan here! Have all his work on vinyl. I especially like his live album.
