    Hi everyone :D

    I would like to hear your opinion about a project im working on.

    I'm a student and I've picked to focus on Actualization for my project.

    I want to develop a concept of an app that will help you with this process of self actualization.

    Meanwhile it focuses on bringing up quotes from a different subjects database (relationships, buisness, etc)

     

    Please tell me what would ypu expect to have in such an app.

    How would you interact with it daily?

     

    Your input is very valuable to me.

    Thank you  ^_^

    Being enlightened you do the most purposeful things without ever intending to.

    You might say that seeking a purpose from spiritual point of view is clutching to certainty. (You want to be sure your have found your "life purpose")

    If one were enlightened, would they not need a life purpose?

    There's a share of truth in this very statement. They realised their neediness, and therefor don't need it : )

    In one of the last videos leo drew a beautiful metaphor of thoughts questioning thoughts collapse and tear a hole in consciousness through which light can shine through. So yes indeed the mind is used to collapse itself : )

    I believe, that "seeing" is the activity of mind. Any experience is mind.

    You can't know that intellectually, since "mind" is only logical in terms of "not-mind". And if all were mind there wouldn't be such a definition.

    It seems, that everything = mind. But it is kind of obvious that the Truth is not anything and not everything and not mind.

    Come to think about it, everything you ever experience or know is an interpretation of the mind. So it's true from a metaphysical point of view.

    I think that the experience of that is exactly what that famous saying means. "All is one," which of course is illogical and thus ridiculed.

    Guys, what you are talking about has no use in real life whatsoever.

    To my mind, higher self is when you are peaceful and mindful to some extent. The more peaceful are mindful you are, the "higher" the self is :)

    Exactly! The mindfulness is allowing you to see the ways in which the lower self tricks us into unconsciousness. 

    We should also consider that mindfulness alone without understanding the subtle ways in which the ego tricks us might not be enough.

    This is how I was "introduced" to spirituality ..

    -------

    The story began many years ago when I was twelve years old. It was a beautiful afternoon, the birds were singing loud and a light breeze was touching my face. I was walking down a walkway near the beach. For some reason I felt different that afternoon. A deep peace took over and I felt very alive. I was totally aware of everything that was going on around me and time seemed to slow down. Everything stood still. And then out of nowhere it suddenly happened. 

    I turned around and my perception deepened even further. I looked at the trees, then I slowly turned and looked at the ocean then at the mountains and finally at the sky and suddenly out of nowhere a deep knowing invaded my entire being and a phrase I had never heard before came into my mind “We are one”.

    Somehow I knew that I was one with everything around me. At the same time the deepest feeling of love I had experienced filled my being. The feeling was so powerful, that I just stood there with tears in my eyes completely immersed in the present moment contemplating the beauty of everything around me.

    This deep knowing and feeling of love only lasted a few minutes but I remained with a feeling of peace and excitement during several weeks and I never forgot that wonderful experience.

    @Actualizer There are no assumptions that are right or wrong. Always try to open you mind as much as you can, this is the idea.

     

    The thing I was trying to find out was, how from close mindedness somehow you suddenly open your mind?

    What's the trigger or the key to shift?

     

    Right now I am open minded, or at least want to be : )

    Im looking for ways to influence my family and friends to discover they same beauty, but in very subtle ways.

    I think a meditation habbit is the most powerful of all. At least for me B|

    By the looks of it, you suffer from monkey mind. And it creates the fog, makes you restless and focused too much on immediate results.

    Personal development, is a 1000 jorney, which is built 1 step at a time, and in a beautiful way they all connect to singular path of feeling on track.It's about connecting the dots and see a new big picture. Start very small, and see what bugs you the most. Being mindful is important to find clues of these troubling thoughts.

     

    I hope i could help dude.

    Welcome and good luck fellow travler ;)

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to hear your expirience in implementing that concept in your life.

    Lately I have been wondering wether I got it right.

    Sometimes it feels like I want to speak out, but then I ask myself, is it worth the possible arguments?

    What if the lower self wanted to make trouble.

    How can you tell between a lower self and higher self opinion?
