Dry fast = zero water and for that time Maybe you reinvented the definition tho but if not…lol

Sure…

You did not do 8 day dry fast 😂😂😂😂😭

Understandable, good you can laugh too and not just cry tho😂

You approached half a club in one night damn, machine

Regarding my question, I wasn't thinking that accessing the open states on regular basis would naturally lead to a Buddha-like state with zero desire or aversion, I wondered if the level of intensity of the mental suffering and contraction of ego you described, would naturally soften and become much more mild in general when it does arise. So it was about the degree of it, not downplaying the profoundness of anything you've shared tho. I have my own theories about how different egos are wired differently, also I'm guessing that through frequent openness it allows for more sensitivity so when the ego rebuilds itself, it's felt very clearly, doesn't mean you have more dense than others. I say this related to my own experiences. Regarding reincarnation, I am quite pessimistic there, I think, better prolong this life, as way worse may come after 😂 I have a bit of bias in thinking at times, that meditation seems "weak" in its ability to break down the self (if it's not done a TON like in your example) because it seems to simply just "not engage it", but ok, then what is going to relax that most fundamental structure that can seem to be there even if the mind content is still and one is seemingly as disengaged as one feels one can be in the moment? I don't need answer for that, I can just try more meditation for myself, but I've reflected about it. Yea there is a lot I could say but it's always a good read (your sharings).

Sure..

😄

Hahaha its fine, I just said something even if I bet its not what you meant

I emit that?

You just love female energy that's why you so curious right? 😂

Yes, although I suspect Ekchart might have reached enlightenment later. Maybe center presence would eventually dissolve too, don't know how it would maintain for decades. The sentence there were you described spiritual awakening as an ongoing process, it sounds to me a bit like how many people seem to use it, if I interpreted it correctly. As in a glimpse followed by perspective change within the human and loosening of the self. Speaking for myself, I would spontaneously think of that word as being the very glimpse itself (in this case into consciousness), or if it's permanent then it never returns to the mind-ego. But overall I see what you're saying, just language difference for most part as I said, also good analogy there at the end, it fits what I meant.

Ok then it was accurate of me, that's why, when I read on here, it's not just about the words, it seems something is able to shine through thats why I am not thrown off by harsh language per say, it depends But if you're in open mode most of time or all time as you wrote here, wouldn't the dense structure start to deconstruct naturally? Not saying it as in that would be a choice, but I just suspected that's how it works when in enlightened state (what you call open), that whatever is left of self starts to unravel without effort. I've heard such stories but also from experience, not of that exact state but as I've written earlier. But your quote there, I'd never say that in this case. I've written somewhere that self is a curse, and I sometimes think to myself how its the worst thing that could ever be, simply because it allows for ridiculous levels of suffering, and I don't even have to suffer super deep myself as of yet to think so, I'm very sensitive to suffering in myself (thats why I'm where I am today in a way). Also, some people when they suffer they become very outwardly toxic to others, like the story you shared of those people perhaps, that to me suggests level of unawareness, when you're more sensitive to what's going on inside its turned more inward so it doesn't make you that toxic to others, which to me is a still a light person but with darkness inside vs the former example is what I like to stay away from 😄

Omg thanks
