The video you sent me long time ago when I wrote the hotness post?

It looks beautiful on google

Hahahah maybe that’s what I need at the end of the day

So the videos give instructions? I appreciate you trying to help btw that’s kind

How is it done?

I still don’t know if there is any correlation at all between practice and enlightenment. So hard to say what the pursuit does

Maybe it’s so

So intense😂

Ok I see.

I liked it. Although I’ve forgotten most of it

Sometimes maybe the pursuit is needed before a surrender happens who knows. Sometimes it may play itself out like that

It’s so hard to locate the “I” sense , yet somehow we feel we are here. If it feels better for you to deconstruct the desire to feel special then I’d say go for it. We can have such pressures on ourselves. What a struggle we are in while we apparently don’t even exist!

You’re speaking in the absolute sense so yes that’s the case there. Don’t know what else to add really, but there’s an apparent difference between self and no sense of self, not that one will not keep a kind of human ego , but something seemingly “drops”.

Okay I see. When I was in high school I went to this “rethoric” class where we held a bunch of speeches so we practiced that which is of your concern. Also do you mean when you speak in English or French or both? I don’t read books these days no

There was a period I watched quite a lot of non dual talk. I used to do meditation too and a little bit of other practice. But I don’t anymore. Nonetheless I still think if liberation is a desire, it’s a good idea to pursue it, like Leo says, regardless if the chance seems very small. Why not, can’t loose anything by trying. Maybe one day one realizes one doesn’t have to try at all, or something.

Exactly I agree. There’s a lot of tension all over associated with the self.

It’s difficult for the mind to grasp this and formulate it well. Maybe in absolute sense there’s no difference between before the “drop” and after, as they say. But in some sense there is a difference between when the sense of self seems to be there vs not

I wonder if there is any correlation between spiritual practice and enlightenment (total drop of self). Some non dualists , like Jim Newman for example I think, says that nothing is correlated to the drop in self. That it’s hopeless. Some teachers preach about practice. I wonder what the truth is. For me im more in the hopeless view. For me I feel the self has such a life of its own. Can’t imagine what could possibly make it fall away. Seems like endless hours of practice and endless psychedelics would be needed. And even from that I’m not sure it would fall away
