  1. @ChimpBrain If you could try one out first, you should. It is meditation because you have to place awareness on the breath and get into a rhythm. If it is accurate, which I presume it is, my heart coherency was way off and my breathing rate was too. It's portable but I don't wear it all the time. Only when doing a session. I just got it so I'll have to use it more to really get to know it but I could see how it would be useful. I tried a 20 min. session with the emWave first and than I did a regular meditation after. If your mind wanders from the breath or you get distracted, it will let you know immediately so you really have to get into a "zone" and stay in it. It has a audible signal too that lets you know if your in a low, med, or high state of coherency so you can close your eyes. I just wanted to try it out and let some family and friends try it too that may otherwise not do daily meditation. So far I don't believe I wasted my money, it's pretty cool. I read the reviews on Amazon.com too before I bought it. It got good ratings by ppl. who meditate.
  2. @ChimpBrain I just got the emWave2 + Heartmath. It's interesting. You have to sync up breathing, mind and heart to get a high coherency score. Low is red , medium is blue and high is green. It feels like you get into a "zone" of concentration or equilibrium when it's held at a high coherency . If I get distracted, it drops off to red in a heartbeat (no pun intended). It is showing me how my mind, heart, nervous system is reacting to everyday stimuli that I would otherwise been unaware of.
  3. @Displayname Check this out, sweet!
  4. @Displayname You are re-thinking your original direction. Do you feel like it's not working for you but your working for it? Myself as a home builder , I gotta say go with the affordable housing. Maybe that's just me because that was always my personal passion. Creating and designing safe and affordable homes that a family can live in. It's wonderful and fulfilling to see that transformation happen before your eyes. When the job is finished and you drive away the last time knowing that a family will spend many happy days together in this home. No regrets here. And housing is changing drasticly too, tiny houses, earth housing, portable housing, container housing, even a house that has a greenhouse built around it.
  5. Keep going. Any meditation is better than none. Just stay with it. " Meditate for 20 minutes twice a day unless your very busy- meditate for an hour" as the old saying go's.
  6. It sounds as if your looking at this as if a "you" will be in a place that is infinite. That would be a very bleak picture from the perspective of mind. A hell of sorts because "you" are in it. Such a place exists only in the mind. Mind or "You" exist within time and space. Existence, from the perspective of mind is also happening within time and space. Infinity has no time or space or "you". That is what makes it infinite. Maybe you had a brief glimpse of infinity, I don't know. But it sounds like your mind than placed itself into that picture after the experience? That is what doesn't fit. Your mind is trying to place it's familiar constructs of time and space (and you) into a field that has no time or space or "you". When "You" become totally non-existant, that's infinity. **I refrained from using the term "eternity" because that implies time. That is a religious idea of an afterlife and something I personally could never except when I was growing up. I don't care how much one likes harp music, you wouldn't want to have to listen to it 24/7 for all eternity.
  7. @All_Around_Me Your gonna do just fine! What is your passion? What comes to you with no effort?
  8. @All_Around_Me Meditation and self inquiry are fantastic tools for finding your life.
  9. What a great place to hide it! Where nobody would "think" to look.
  10. @WelcometoReality That one found me this morning and great way to start the day.
  11. Great exercise. Looking deeply into duality. In your statement above you explored both options. Good choice.
  12. @tomasCZ @tomasCZ The seed was planted even though your mind was not willing to except it and suddenly everything settled in of it's own doing. The mind searching for it will never find it. It always alludes the mind. You found the key by not looking for it. That is the key.
  13. @vizual I was just reading your post and something funny hit me, "Put a leash on that dogma"
  14. "A fearful man dies a thousand deaths, a brave man but one" (no- self doesn't die once )
  15. @tomasCZ See the mind for what it is-mind. Than use the mind as a master craftsman uses a tool. Learn to trust what is inside and everything will manifest on it's own. When a girl comes into your life (or anything), she will come into your life as if it has already been written. Let go and trust that everything is unfolding in it's own time. I understand this doesn't answer your questions. You already have.
  16. @The Village Idiot No rush to do anything. I'm saying. just let it all gel. Sometimes it's best to back off for a while and let everything just fall into place. The big picture will evolve of it's own.
  17. @The Village Idiot The seed is planted. It needs no help from you other than staying out of it's sun.
  18. @Lorenzo Engel It sounds like she got a good dose of no-self and it bought her to her knees. There has been a lot of that lately. Hopefully that's all it is and she will be fine. She may be confused and a bit frightened right now.
  19. @Wouter It's hard to say. She "grasped the ground" purposely? What kind of an obvious experience was on her face? She didn't black out or anything, right? Children experience this with no knowledge of spiritually at all. Anyone can when they are ready.
  20. How to close the doors of perception? That's a new one! How far open are they now?
  21. @Isle of View Did you watch that last video at all? How her experience totally changed her view. This is something that needs to be experienced directly by the individual. Me or anyone else telling the person ideas that are at best conceptual to the person won't help that much. It may be somewhatcomforting but not much more than that.
  22. So what is your suggestion for someone who has very little time?@Isle of View
