Meaning the self that experiences is also experienced? To think of it, This is the reality always. The body (the self that experiences, aka Ego) is experienced and there's no experiencer to be found of the experiencer (body-mind). Just isness. Isness always wins!

I want to give you a potent pointer I heard from one of Eckhart's transmissions. It's the question: "How do I know that I have a body?" The answer to that question is the experience of being aware of the inner body. Just go to that and when you find yourself out of touch, perhaps daydreaming, use the simple question again to get you to the simple experience. Thought will definitely retaliate. You are moving the attention away and Ego knows it's days are numbered, so be attentive - your thoughts will try to make you forget about how good this state of no thought actually is.

I'd like to add something on number 3: I like seeing the letting go process more like a recognition that I can't hold on to anything in awareness for that long, so might as well just let it pass through without resisting. So we can realize letting go naturally occurs and no effort is required, but simply the allowing. Btw noticing the inner body is one of the most profound ways to raise your vibration. Your entire body and awareness meet. You are returning to your temple and healing it from within. You are absolutely merged and you feel the spaciousness feelings from within. It's a beautiful practice. The most advanced. Like reading, the more you do it, the more quality the results. Keep going, look no further for the Holy Grail, this is the place.

If you TRULLY want a risky career, you can try Poker ? The centering in the present moment and all spiritual practices turn the already beautiful game of Poker into Gold. It's a beautiful dance. It feels like I am playing with cheat codes, when I can just recede in myself and experience bliss while I perceive others are getting bored on the table and play way more hands than they should - making mistakes. In the toughest situations self inquiry and meditation have helped me remain calm and collected no matter what - no matter if I lose big. Instead of getting angry, i go deeper within. I bet this has made a big difference in my performance. Beautiful place to do both money and spiritual practice all at once. But you need to have experience in poker to be good.

@Ascend The silent knowing of your own being is there in any and all experience. Die to that one.

Wait one moment. Enlightenment is not to be achieved, Enlightenment is the reality of the situation right now for anyone willing to notice. Now, are you not the one knowing your experience? The one knowing the one who knows, or the one who doesn't know - that one is silently and eternally there and it's everyone's reality. So right now you are enlightened. Before one second and after one second you were/are no longer enlightened. Only now, not in the story of time can enlightenment be. ?

Sound is vibration, we are vibration, we are sound. But there is also God - The space of awareness for all these different vibrations to arise and be known.

This is the root - all experiences (sights, sounds, feelings, thoughts etc) appear in the same space of knowing. Notice they do not appear in different places. It is the same dimensionless point of awareness which contains all. Btw, this was one amazing performance

Trully extreme scepticists should be extremely sceptical even of extreme sceptisism!

I prefer to dance alone when I can express anything without thinking about it. A good measure of how free you are to express yourself: if you're not free enough to get naked, you arent free to express yourself fully.

Anyone tried shooting "blasts of Kundalini" by lighting the bottom candle/chakra with awareness? (flames go from bottom up) Curious if awareness can be that magic if applied in the right location

Find out what you're not and then see you are one with it too (merged), but you are the pure awareness, that can go deep and light the candles to dispell the darkness. Try the following meditation for 5 minutes and report back. It should release your energy from mind and start energising your entire being - not just the attic (?Thoughts are expensive - especially the ones that are causing negative emotions) 1) Sit and close your eyes. 2) Here is the potent pointer which will kill any thought and leave you with just WHAT IS: "How do I know that I have a body?" Follow that question to the experience it points to - simply feel any sensations that are present. You begin to give more attention to your inner energy field instead of giving it to thought! How liberating. You will sense your vibration rising through the roof if you keep at it! Yeah baby. 3) Return to the pointer whenever you catch yourself drifting off into thoughts! It is going to happen! Even sometimes you wont realize, so better keep repeating it like a mantra for a while, but make sure to Follow the experience being pointed to! It's like waking up in a dream - you need to do reality checks ? This pointer will bring you back to presence again and again and Presence will defeat the Ego in the end, because it is the Truth. While doing this Know that you are not any of the sensations, you are the witness of them, but at the same time you are one with them! Like you are their boyfriend/girlfriend or something!! ? ? Let me know of your experience

The true Guru is "What Is", right? ?

Can you stop being aware? I dare you. It's like telling the Sun - don't shine.

To exist is not all that great. I'm currently experiencing incredibly strong negative emotions throughout my whole body and the only thing that keeps me sane and at relative peace is the continuing recognition of the space from which all experience arise and into which all experience fades... The real question is: Can there be peace in Hell.

This article is very well written and reflects my current amazement and fascination with points. It found me just now and I feel what is written here as true and possibly helpful to finding Truth. https://www.geometrycode.com/sacred-geometry/ In my experience there is a huuuuge connection between self-enquiry and this. PS: No wonder geometry is my favourite part of maths. <3

Loving what's right here right now. The energy of Life. Healing: Awareness on the inner energy field of the body and remaining as the awareness heals the body. Everything is energy ⚡ You are not the body, you are the life energy that fuels the body! The I am Awareness is the root.

29:00-32:00 is interesting for those who don't want to watch the whole vid

Instructions unclear, stuck mind in toaster

It's like tuning a guitar. Why tune a guitar? To hear nice music! If you love every last bit you are aware of in the now, there is no option but bliss. The trick is not to let the mind convince awareness with stories that what is right here right now is not loved. Awareness naturally merges with/loves everything, including that pain over there. Can we love the pain? Only if we remain as awareness! ? Separate from thought stories, Merge with Now, don't cheat on the now. Don't cheat on the now by believing the serpentine stories of mind. All is as it should be and que sera sera.

What will be will be

Let me show you why this is obviously not a good way to define truth: When the Earth was considered flat, someone could have had a theory that it is round. Does this mean that the Earth was not round before it became a fact and was just theory? No. Our map of reality and reality are two very different things. Our mapping of truth and truth. Perhaps the things we hold as 'facts' stand on shaky ground, because of an initial erroneous assumption. What then? Does Truth change or only our map of it?

Enlightenment is about finding your center, which doesn't exist. Everything else exists in that center, but it does not exist (stand out). Finding less than a needle in a haystack, it's experiential. It's about finding that the haystack is within the "less than a needle". Being aware of enlightenment starts dissolving the illusory from experience. No need to think about enlightenment objectively, as the result from enlightenment is not enlightenment. Speaking about enlightened person means to already overlook the center. The person is not at the center. The person is an appearance in the center also.

My non-dual store offers enlightenment for free, because it usually should cost 89.50 as you say, but since it's ultimate non-dual nature, it also costs -89.50 at the same time, making it completely free!
