Careful with confusing enlightenment for - "pretending not care about anything." One cannot think his way into liberation. "You can't wash blood off, with blood." (old zen quote) -

This is the sanest thought possible. This proccess has been described as going crazy in the past. Let go! Allow yourself to lose your mind completely. Surrender to not-knowing. -

You are a great artist! "The ego" is the attachment to the idea of self. Please see the post above, i've updated. By the way, blaming the ego is creating two egos. -

@Joseph Maynor Master vs student. Or the nature of wisdom. (see my signature) -

Where is the zen master when he's needed? If it really didn't exist, this forum would be futile my dear friend. ------ @ivankiss said: "My" ------ The sneakiness occurs when thought are glued together. For example: "I did this" = Thought+Thought+Thought = "action" In fact only once you apply logic you can declare reality. While in fact they are noises within a void. -

There's the sneaky thought! -

@Joseph Maynor I guess he gotta work both ends of this paradox. -

Indeed. It's pretty much the sentence that appears in 90% of zen books. Good day! -

Wow. Thank you for you input everyone. I really appreciate our conversation. Upon revisiting I see that it doesn't matter, I gotta keep inquiring. -

One could say vision is itself a form of thought. But if we were to create division then no. It appears as if thougts are imagination files playing. -

Perhaps you are right sir. Since in the deepest realisation one sees the manifestation as no different from the source, it is changing. -

The trouble here is to assume that the now is narrow like a second hand in clock. This is a rationalization of non-dual state insight (which is post-rational). In fact the now is ever present, stretching to infinity in both ends, it was now at the big bang, as it is now today, and in a million years it will still be now. -
Anton Rogachevski replied to Anton Rogachevski's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Even that I don't know if I can say for sure. I want to know because it's necessary for the process of inquiry to know even what you are looking for (or not looking.) Thank you for your input, Cheers -

Hi dear friend, How do you know this? If I may ask? Obviously the writer of the commentary might have got it wrong. (he did say the true tao is ever changing) But I must take it into consideration and observe to truly know. In a sense, the Tao can also be inappropriately translated or understood, or not! Since "change" is interdependent of "no-change", which implies duality. The book might also be wrong. (which is the least likely option, but still.) -
@kieranperez I see you are now in great pain, and you are pushing yourself needlessly into doing something, but in such a state you can't come up with rational ways of action. First you must treat the wounds, and from there you will have a better shot. I saw people that were near death from drug and drink abuse, and now they are far more successful than me. It's pretty much a miracle, except it's a fact. I know you might not seek advice right now, but I must share this path, because it's less known, yet extremely effective in helping people in difficult situations. People that tried all sort of therapy, and spiritual paths, yet couldn't stop the suffering. I myself was like that, and I was lucky enough to have friends that we're literally saved from death by this program. This kind of evidence I simply couldn't ignore. Also it's very cheap - about 10 dollars a month I would presume, It's also a donation based, so you can even not donate. Thank you for sharing, and being here. You are loved. Good luck to you! Please read here if you are interested: ( I would say CoDa might be the good choice, but look at the other options.)

This site is an amazing source of rare sounds that one can play while doing many activities. It's helping to stay focused for a long time, and block distracting noises. It's free, and there's many cool features and many many different sounds. For me a total bliss! Check this out: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/huuVocalSoundscape.php -

The Zen Teachings of Bodhidharma It's almost as amazing as Tao Te Ching. If you want to see real basic Zen, there's no other source. -

@SOUL So duality is a choice made at the second of labeling yet unmanifested awareness. This makes it all very easy! Just don't label if you don't want separation to occur. And so everything within awareness is awareness, but one can label and divide it to manifest objects. Are you a wizard? What a bliss, Deep bow to you, old friend. -

@Nahm I only know Nahm is infinite, other than that it's all delusion and fantasy. -

There's nothing but imagination. And it's magnificent! -
Anton Rogachevski replied to Fairy's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Arthur You are right to say so, except there are other things in life rather than "truth seeking". Life is not all about being enlightened. Having a beautiful story is an art form, and it's god's love. Cheers. -

@ivankiss It's great to have an artist's touch here. Thank you for you contribution dear sir! I hope to keep reading your posts. Cheers -
Anton Rogachevski replied to Jamie Universe's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Jamie Universe Hello dear Jamie, Do nothing is not Strong Determination (SDS), so you can move from time to time. It's basically just sitting and being aware, without any manipulations. It is the most simple of them all. Also meditation, in my opinion, as rule of thumb should not be too complicated. Please watch more of Leo's videos on meditation (he has many, and also a live guided meditation), it appears you haven't understood it's basis yet, and so obviously you might get lost. Describe very carefully step by step what you are doing, and we may be of more help. Also good luck on your journey, Meditation is an amazing tool! -
Anton Rogachevski replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@purerogue Perhaps you were hurt by emotions, and so you are projecting your past trauma onto other people. Divine love is not an emotion, it is the thing that creates the emotion we call love, but it's more than that. Also please don't underestimate emotions. You don't really know what they are. This is my foolish attempt to try and explain: Cheers, Thank you for reading. -

Science deals with the how, it will tell you that you are here to survive and explore. Non-duality is only direct sensual data. Which is what I presented to you above. For your personal satisfaction I would say it's best to explore this one, because you see it for yourself without a doubt. Religion is your best option if you seek a beautiful story. The hindu religion tells us that god is playing "Vishnu Lila" - the devine game. I believe Christianity is also saying something like "God rejoiced in creation." But they got these insights through seeking non-dually directly through prayer. Pray and ask god directly.
