Recently I've been having visuals, but I never try to actually make them. What I do is I defocus attention so as to rest as awareness and then just look and see what appears. Try it. But I believe the resting as awareness is actually the way to enlightenment, not the visuals once the attention is again on objects.

Of the nondual variety obviously! The Void and my Wallet are One being! ?

No psychological suffering. The definition of suffering that I have is continuous pain. Continuous physical pain is suffering - Jesus suffered on the cross. Not psychologically. Unless you mean physical pain is also psychological, in which case I need you to try to stick a nail in your hand and see if you can remove the pain simply by being aware. Another less extreme example is if you are tired, but have to do something. Might well be that you're tired because of past unconscious actions like thinking too much etc, but could awareness remove this suffering called being tired? Or having constant chronic pains in your awareness? Its fine you can say suffering is just happening and there is noone it's happening to, but it's still a shitty experience, no? If trully that shift of awareness gets rid of those sufferings, that would be beyond magical.

Im getting flashes of white light sometimes when I close my eyes and notice the witness. Like two quick consecutive flashes and then nothing. That something you've exp?

God, as in the essense of all that is, is real, but also formless. How do I know? Because experience is known. Because reality is subjective, the essense of a subjective reality is the subject and the subject is formless.

Yeah that's why in spirituality It's not about the statement truths, but about the experience of them. If you know facts that doesn't get you the Truth (which is experienced) , but it might be helpful. Like an arrow pointing to the right direction - the arrow is not the destination, but it's extremely helpful!

I do not understand why one cannot be mindful while watching TV or while playing games. It actually becomes like a more challenging session . Like training yourself to be conscious when there's millions of things happening in front of your eyes, not just when eyes are closed. Since I am looking for that which is unchanging and available in any situation, it seems to me this inquiry cannot be stopped by the events happening. Aren't Low-conscious and High-conscious concepts of the mind, even though very helpful ones? Why are we cherry picking? There's no difference between eating junk food and having a healthy diet in reality, no? Only in the realm of mind (time) it has a difference.

Wow! Can he get more profound

Is there someone else? The lecture is quite good, but some will judge books by their cover. That's life Do you think you will achieve realisation on your own? How many spiritual teachers have helped you so far? Why lashing out now? Because of the word "Information"? You have allergy? Everything you perceive is information. Don't be allergic.

The unborn and absolute are not to be understood. Eckhart says this time and again, the unmanifested is understanding itself, it cannot be understood. And you're researching lol. Nice, Wrap your head around it, but that's not Eckhart's teachings. They are popular, because there is nothing to understand. It's about staying conscious and alert. It's about learning how to stay as the witness of your inner space. So there, I hope you're not confused anymore as to the book's popularity ?. I imagine Eckhart's cheeky laugh when he hears you're researching the unmanifest and you're having trouble with understanding it ? Ofcourse you're having trouble understanding it! Is what he'd probably say. Zen student: Master, I don't understand Zen. Master: Me too

@John Iverson One of the most important things he talks about:

This is a projection. Where did I say it scares me? The comment was saying that the book is for starters, but it in fact is for starters, intermediate and advanced. You only need to go deeper into the teaching. Sometimes even read between the lines.

You have not seen the depth of this book. Re-read it

But if the Truth cannot hold it's own in an argument, then false teachings that can hold will prevail. Concepts are rather important for spreading the Truth (for Humanity's sake). For the dream characters that we are For spreading love & freedom and for having a better dream.

But it's not the usual death (through car crash/suicide etc), so maybe there is a more accurate term?

@Lynnel

I've thought in the past to do a self inquiry generator. It would always say, "Not that". Only once the student is ripe, the generator would say: "You are That". Booom

Not so fast! Counter argument coming. Your bodymind has 0 of these signs, but you're not that, so you have 40 ? If another bodymind has 40 of these signs, they are not that and hence have 0 of them ? I contemplated this a bit further and less jokey - the present moment awareness with which we know our experience (the thing we refer to when we say I) always has 0 neuroses. Only form can have neurosis, so perhaps the way is for the form to tune into the frequency of awareness and realise it also is pure awareness. Then the form will become a Shin and will have achieved Shinhood.

Profound like always. Could visualisation of geometric shapes be a way to connect to our blueprints and perhaps even change/override them?

Hi, do not worry. I once tried to overdose on my supplements. I think I became stronger.

I don't know. I would say that negative people will attack even positive inner fields. There's nothing more annoying to a negative person than another person smiling.

Perhaps this is one type of Karma, but what about the Karma that brings to you negative situations if you've done something wrong (not just inner negativity, but outer as well) I believe that the next life's starting point will be dependent on this one. Perhaps that's how all karma is paid. Perhaps you can be the biggest asshole and not get punished in this lifetime, but at the start of your next, by being placed in a not so advantageous position. And vice versa.

I am Awareness and my natural state is Being.

Wow, I just stumbled on this randomly on the street. We have manifested ?
