But ofcourse all that matters is wherher I am present now. To be present now, we need to accept even the unacceptable. Can you accept the unacceptable and be perfectly content where you are with what you're doing? Even while reading this... Or typing a reply! Or better yet, while doing nothing.

So I watched a video on Depersonalization, it sound like negatively interpreted enlightenment? Depersonalization is probably a problem, because the person is still there... If there trully is no person, there wouldn't be anyone to suffer

I was unable to stay for the full 8 hours. Wow.. After the first two hours I needed to move about, so I continued with being present in the moment. Realised I am always meditating also! I've been meditating forever! During my mindful living yesterday, I ate a lot of honey. Now I see what all those bees were about! It was my subconscious getting me to appreciate some nice honey. Honey with tea, honey with banana, honey with absolutely anything It's like eating nature's Gold.

Life is the best in the infinite nothing

I will soon be starting my trip Update: I will begin now! So don't expect me until 8 hours from the time of this post! I will fly in nirvana! "Take courage! " - Osho

Hahahhahahahaha

@Sevi @Dragallur @Shin Are we all going for this? Choose the most comfortable posture for you. If you can make it most comfortable you can, like you are sitting on a throne. Graciously. Without effort. Just being! How hard can it be! It should be the best experience in my life, those are my expectations pre-journey Let's GO! I'm so excited about this! I am going to be sitting on the throne made entirely of consciousness. Nothing Else!

* Angry at noise pollution Good thing the anger now comes and I see it for what it is! So it doesn't really stick so much! Glad to see consciousness work having effects. I got angry today when they blew a whistle near me at the station that almost got me deaf Good thing I have earplugs, living in a crazy city is no joke. Noise pollution is everywhere. I think ears are not very great, we need to be able to close them, we need earlids!!!! @Dingus can I abuse drugs with consciousness? I'm sure it's possible. After all if we do not judge what is happening even drug abuse is absolutely fine. Right?

Let Go, Let God! Let be, Let Bed!

From point of view of story/ego there is past, now and future From point of view of observing awareness, future is seen as unmanifested pure potential, the past is seen as the manifested storyline/movie/dream. The now is seen as a bunch of sights, thoughts, sensations, feelings, stuffness that is known. Looking at he storyline and the potential are seen as things that create duality, because of the simple truth that there is only now. Why base our sense of self from something we clearly know don't exist? The now moment is like an intersection point and the gate from egoic mind of past future and now to awareness of the content of now and awareness of awareness itself, whichis you, now - things could not be simpler. You can switch between the two even. Ego death is instant when you see you are the awareness. You can identify with what awareness points to and it is not egoic identification, because it is actually truth. It can never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever be taken from you, because whatever is taken from you, you remain. If you identify with awareness, it is the mind, recognising it's own true nature. The mind itself is made of awareness, so it would not be false for any mind to say they are awareness, unless they dont see what the word awareness points to, and it points to you, the you that cannot be outside the now Ever, unless it's dreaming. Let's wake the fuck up, as Mooji says, nonduality teachings are giving us the most important thing as Baby food!!!! This is the easy and most direct path. Dont expect that you need to suffer or experience feelings of dread. Your ego will not die if it is truth, in which case it is not ego at all. Because ego is the illusion. So take your place as awareness now and you will never have to die.

Ego death is only scary if you identify with the ego. Ego is the unobserved mind throwing thoughts at you that you believe, nothing more. The one who makes the unobserved mind observed is you. But the thoughts, feelings and sensations that come from the unobserved mind / subconscious / unmanifested is not you. You are the quality which allows the unmanifested to be observed as manifested. You are neither the unmanifested nor the manifested, you are the quality which transforms one into the other. You are not the unconscious, nor the conscious, you are the quality which makes one into the other and observes both. Ego death does not have to be scary or hard. Dropping away of personalities and identities becomes easy when you really know that all phenomena are illusory and cannot touch you. You are the quality like light, which make the dark shine. Then you can be who you are once you drop all effort to be someone based on thoughts. Just be who you are without letting thoughts guide you. Be guided by being. Let thoughts be there, transcendence of thoughts does not mean destruction of thoughts, it means going above thoughts. Not being what the thoughts tell you, but who you are??? How can it be hard. Everyone is that. How hard is it for an illusion to die??? PS: Ego death is easier than picking up girls or staying in a relationship. PS2: You go to ego death every night in sleep. Is it hard??? It's just not the epic story your mind wants.

Whenever I interact with others, who are not into nonduality, they keep reinforcing my mind's now seen as false and ignorant beliefs. Im afraid they are reviving my dying ego. Like giving it cpr. I feel especially defensive of NonDual ideas, because I now know them to be true. But ego still happens, it's like the ego is claiming this knowledge, because it is fact. I see such moments as not defending my ego of knowing something, but defending the truth and trying to help someone in ignorance see what I mean. But at the end if the day my actions feel like an egoic striving to know the truth as a person on planet earth. And to feel good about it. Even tho in introspection I see this as just another belief of the mind. People around me are treating me as a human and as an ego, which reinforces my older patterns. Wakes up beasts that I had defeated, but not permanently. Now that I write it out, it actually seems like a good thing lol. But anyway, would it not be better for me to not speak to anyone on the subject? The thing is by keeping quiet I am doing a disservice to them, since they will just go deeper in delusion. Like I am now. Or am I? Who am I.. ? When I know something to be true and someine starts arguing the opposite, should I concede the position of truth so the falsehood wins? Isnt that why we are all living in falsehood on planet earth? I know truth doesn't need defending to be true, but why concede an argument you know you are right in?

If you have any. Can awareness know anything without looking at the repository of mind? Let's say: Everything is mind, awareness perceives and knows those things. When awareness is pure aka no mind, what is being perceived? How can something be experienced without looking at mind? Unless mind is awareness in another aggregate form, which makes it absolutely real? But then mind would not be illusion? Am I thinking too much? PS: Here I refer to mind not as just thoughts, but all things being perceived by you.

Is the labeling of what is being perceived as mind an error of thought to begin with?

420 is 10 times the meaning of life ? ?????????

Okay guys let's not be so strict, let's have mindful breaks if needed - going to the toilet, drink water, eat some food even, do some stretching - all if needed. Let's not be too ascetic <3

Am I who am I? Who am I???

"I am" is a positive without an opposite ( in experience )

Lol I haven't done half, not even quarter. But if Bill Harris is not bullshitting and 1 hour of HoloSync equates to 8 hours without HoloSync, I meditate 8 hours every day ??

@Azrael I just now read this and it is some very helpful realizations! There shouldn't be an issue with dropping the shell without psychedelics I suppose. I think everyone needs to read the +++Insight+++ part, because it is pure gold. It is like taking the psychedelic, if you apply self inquiry while reading and read from silence.

I want to add to your list of Ramana Maharshi. The little book: Who am I by Ramana Maharshi.

Adyashanti - The End of your world This is one of the most helpful books out there! Must read. @Danielle I see you already recommended it. I guess I am striking the point home ?

How do we all unite even if we disagree with each other? Oh yeah, the words are we unite in Love and Truth. The Devil needs a love overdose.

I do know indeed!
