  1. @Geo Nobody told you about the meditation gremlins yet? Your relaxing your mind and body. The forward head nod usually starts first. If your too tired and try to fight it, it usually gets worse. The Zen lurch it's sometimes called. I almost feel off a stool once. Luckily I became conscious of my body just as I was going over which caused the muscles to tense up in a flash. That could explain the sensation of being pushed.
  2. @Frogfucius I thought that you may enjoy listening to this. It will bring about a deep appreciation for everything around you. .
  3. @Azrael Do you ever get to look through a good size telescope? I mean a decent size light bucket? It's so fucking awesome. You'll feel like an infinitesimally small speck of dust. The vastness of it blows you away and yet it remains finite. Everything collapses when you realize the entirety of the universe is also no more than a spec of dust.
  4. And the mind filters out even more..
  5. @Meta Morphoses If you really want to get a taste of Sober Infinity, use your intuition and not your mind. Feel it. It is always there. It always has been and always will be. When you step out of your mind than infinity is all that remains. All this that is happing around you now is infinity but the trouble is you can only see with your 5 senses. Move out of the shadow of the mind and into the light. Watch a sunset. When you do, ask yourself "How many sunsets am I experiencing?". If the answer is one, your seeing only what the mind can see.
  6. Weed can make you forgetful. Forgetting who you are. I think that why some ppl get a bit paranoid when they try weed, they can't let go of themselves.
  7. @Whatev3r Yea, It's getting cold here too and the fall leaves have now turned brown. The snow will be falling soon which is beautiful but nothing like spring when everything pops into existence.
  8. @Meta Morphoses Infinite images of the self? One is far to many..
  9. @Whatev3r Just as a suggestion, try the no-self experience in a secluded spot in nature sometime. Sit and meditate than allow the silence to merge with everything. Something wonderful will reveal itself to you. It's amazing!
  10. @Prabhaker I've heard this referred to as "Timeless Time". Sweet!
  11. Although your ship is sturdy, no mercy has the sea. Will you survive on the ocean of being?
  12. I see. Well try work on it. Be the empty space that all this happens within. Just think of that for a moment. Focus on it. If you allow it ,it will reveal itself to you. This doesn't happen within the mind. This is when the letting go plays a crucial role.
  13. Not just meditating but seeing that mind is just B.S. anyway.
  14. Search inside and be honest with yourself. When something emerges deal with it head on. Than let it all go. If that's what it is. It's all the mind anyway. Existence is like a bubble happening within the absolute. The mind is limited to the bubble. But awareness is of the absolute. Expand out into that infinite field. Be that. Start with what's right in front of you now. Not what your eyes and mind see. No. Look deeper.... Use your Intuition. There Is something there that eludes your 5 senses. Awareness. It's like an infinitely thirsty sponge and all this happens within it. Be the absolute and not the bubble within it. I'm talking total transcendence of mind and existence. Find that alpha space and you'll know what you are.
  15. @Mr Lenny Only during meditation? If so it could be anxiety caused by suppressing or repressing something subconsciously. If it happens more than just during meditation see a Doctor about it. Noticing it sometimes makes it worse too so just try to relax and let go of it. Also sometimes we just need to purge shit out. Have you balled your eyes out lately? Sometimes a good cry is just what's needed. Leo should do a vid on purging.
  16. @Martin123 Time is only a tool that the mind uses to make sense of reality. Not much different than a sense of spacial directions like up, down, back, front , here, there. Yesterday is yesterday only in it's relationship to today being today. It's all relative. Einstein said it best in his quote "Time is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one"
  17. Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why there is darkness.
  18. @Gavalanche If I had money I'd buy a piece of property somewhere secluded. Maybe Maine. Have a cabin built off the beaten path or find an existing site and create a nice balanced working/living environment. I'd practice Zen, carry water, hit key stroke. Could you work from a remote location? More and more company's are willing to allow their employees to work remotely. Just one of many options to consider.
  19. @Kserkkj Should you stop meditating? I agree with Telapresents on it's totally your call. If it doesn't help you than stop. The simplest advise I can give is just let go. Do what you do, but do it without any personal attachment to what life throws at you. This is where meditation comes in nicely. It creates a space of inner silence to which all this happens within. It balances shit out.
