@Schizophonia have you also tried 4-ho-mipt?

@Schizophonia yes what🤣 only visuals or also spiritual work?

@Schizophonia uh interesting when you say that you're very lucid. Can it be somehow used for meditation or spiritual work? Or is it mainly only visuals?

@Leo Gura great advice, thank you

@Leo Gura I understand and I agree. Sometimes though I manage to focus better on somebody's words cause it's something external...and without that it's easier for my mind to wonder. Of course it's not always like that, some days my meditation is a shit, any way I do it, guided, not guided, with or without music...

@Leo Gura you think you can get an awakening experience with the guided neti neti you posted years ago?

I don't think I'm a postmodernist, and I don't make up whatever I want truth to be, but I don't agree when you say: How do you know objective truth can be discovered? And who are you to say which perspective is more or less valid?

But why? This is just your opinion.

@Asia P sounds interesting, do you grow your coca plant?

@Gennadiy1981 damn interesting! I took like 16mg and I tripped a lot. When I was getting informed about it I read that 32mg is really high dosage. @shree it's always better to get informed about the dosage and take a small one the first time

I don't know specifically where of even if he has explained that. By I imagine that he is not into it because Buddhism is a religion, and as any other religions, also this has beliefs. Spirituality and Leo's work are about deconstructing, letting go, not clinging to ideas and creating beliefs, staying open, etc.

In my opinion it's not true that you should not like your looks. You should, simply by realizing that you are born with the body you have. It's special, nobody's like you. I think that the paranoias we have towards our bodies are planted in our brain by societal rules. And these exist since thousands of years, think of the ancient Greeks trying to make "perfect sculpture bodies" with their "perfect ratio". All this doesn't make sense. Realize that you are unique the way you are. I don't know how you can do it... But in the moment I really understood this, I stopped judging my body and all the paranoias I had (I am short, have a big nose, I'm skinny fat, blablablah) simply disappeared. Good luck man, I believe in you❤️

Well first of all you don't know how much I meditate. Second of, we are all different, and maybe these things weren't so efficient for you, as they are for other people. Therefore saying that "meditation is a trap" is wrong.

I agree with you!

Yes you might be consciousness already, but you're living a live unconsciously. Hence all the spiritual teachers. You're not getting the point. Instead of criticizing and trying to rationally understand things, just try it out and see for yourself. To me is changing my life. That doesn't mean that is easy. That's just your ego talking. How can you talk about not having the mind if you have never experienced it?

At the end these teachings tell us that we should simply become consciousness, which means going beyond the mind. At the beginning applying these techniques 24/7 help us so that with practice they will become automatic and there's no intellect, and therefore you become automatic. If it would be so easy to be meditative without the techniques then why aren't we all meditative already?

Nobody is telling you that you should meditate 5-10 hours a day. That's precisely why Osho says to live in meditation, so you can enjoy life more. Meditation is not about doing something, it's about feeling everything that you can feel without the obstacle of the mind. Yes, life is short, and if you learn how to make a meditation out of it then you won't miss out on anything. That's why you don't have to put yourself in a cave.

Also keep in mind that many teachers and schools use this term in different ways and to indicate different things.

Osho doesn't define everything as meditation, you didn't understand. What he says is that you have to make everything a meditation. You need to be mindful of your actions, feel your body, your breath and your thoughts. That's how scrolling on FB can become a meditation. Staring at a wall for hours is a concentration exercise to reach meditative state.

Yeah I did it already some times... But I will do it again more times. Thank you for the help❤️

Yesterday I came back home to my family from a trip to Spain, with 39° C of fever. My mom is not nice at all right now, I know she's stressed because of taking care of my father with a brain injury, but she's really crazy. Every day she screams at him on how pathetic, handicapped etc. he is. If my brother (18) and I (23) say something she goes crazy and hurts also us. In general I can take it and kinda stay calm, try to help her, etc. but right now with the fever I don't know what to do. I'm helpless. Also, here in Italy is so warm, I can't fucking breathe. Pls help me, give me some advice, or just text me so I get distracted. She's screaming like crazy right now, I'm in bed in pain... Thank you

Thank you for the great videos! Yeah I am afraid for my mother. She's putting all of her energy into this. She's strong, but also has health issues. Due to some surgeries that fucked her up, she can't go to the toilet, so she never eats. I really don't know how she can even stand, yet she's always doing crazy things with my dad. She's a great woman. She loves her family, so much that she doesn't take care of herself. I try to help her, but the things that's she wants to do are too much. She doesn't give time to herself to take a breath, and those times that she does, her mind is unstoppably running and she's fully paranoid, sad, anxious, etc...

What

I will explain better: I think it's good to be informed with what is happening in your country and around the world. But why should I be so into it as most of people are? Every time I talk about politics giving my ideas, pov, and without criticizing, I see that people become altered (if they don't agree with me), and this happens also very strongly with my close-minded family. People have different ideas, and it's impossible to always agree with everyone. Politics can create division, and not only between nations, but many times even within family and important friendships and relationships. Personally, I prefer being ignorant about these topics, so I don't have problems regarding this. I don't want to lose important people in my life because of this. And also I think that the "purpose" of life is simply living it. Why should I create division over something I am not interested in?

I was taking 1g of paracetamol, which helped with fever but not headaches and other pain. Then I took 400mg of ibuprofen, 1g of vitamin C and a cold shower. That helped a lot.
