This makes my ego be all like: yeah right, i can accept anything, ive read the power of now. Nothing can touch me yo

You know of the saying "Only phonies (or however you write that word) dont get enlightened".. But also they say the person is not the one who becomes enlightened... So maybe they meant that only phonies get enlightened? Cuz they just lie?

When you choose to, cus you feel like it

Not implying that you need to learn meditation , but this vid reminds us simplicity . Just breathe and see if you can give less fuel to the one qho feels all those things, since it is an illusory one. Watch more rupert spira and ekhart tolle to get calm and on point . Those are my recommendations

Omg ive been waiting foe so long, like 6 monts, omg i cant believe this is happening to me

This one gave me super chills all over. Maybe cause i got them inhibitions!!

Sorry, previous was a butchered version of Canon. Listen to it here - the first song. There's one part in it that gives me the chills almost every time I hear it. You'll know it when it hits.

If you want chills, wait for it.

I use an eye mask to achieve darkness. Also earplugs for the complete package ;D

Thank you, will do the exercise and enjoy the day too!

Today was the first time I set in meditation Without setting an alarm, and I did it because it was just the thing I wanted to do. The session seemed to be much more enjoyable than usual and I believe it was way way way better in every aspect. Especially that i didnt have to think aboit the alarm and could concentrate my attention way deeper than usual. It was like a game, so fun. Man, i think i will never do meditation as a choir again, its one the most interesting thing i can do. I think it might be important to set time if you are starting the habbit, but even then i think its counter productive. I mean the whole idea of these things is that timw is an illusion anyway So yeah, not much structure or interesting info in this post, but it may nudge you to try not timing and getting lost in finding yourself for as long as you want.

According to Ekhart Tolle, yes - accept reality completely is his main message, right? Accept the bad stuff and then from a place of acceptance act, if you want to. Your actions or non-actions are also part of the present, so also need acceptance and not denial. But if we deny, we can also accept that lol. But that would be a bit paradoxical. But yeh, the idea is that if there is a problem, accepting it will make life better and your actions towards 'fixing' it more positive. But im sure you already know that cause you are old time actualizer, im just stating the obvious most likely.

Thats like what happened to me during this meditation. Let me explain my current understanding / experience. Every time i have a tought, i "jump" to the observing nothingness above it that is observing it (appearantly my self, at least thats my hypothesis ). Then next thought arises and i jump again. Calling it a jump, becaise it feels like i am zooming out and moving on. I provoke amazing visualisations and then again zoom out - as if instead of following the thought i go in the other direction, towards my center, from where the thought has arisen and so it dissolves allowing for another one to pop in. And then if i get lost in thought, i usually have a break thought that says - this is bullshit, or let go, or this will pass, but mostly let go and then I jump towards the awareness again. When i pay attention to my bodily sensations i also jump towards that which perceives them. It seems like the hypothesis that there is only one that perceives all those thoughts and sensations is correct for now, and also that this self doesn't really exist, because there is no limit to it. Aka, i can always jump higher / deeper and never reaching something concrete. Does this make sense?

Its fine to do anything really, depends on the meditation you have decided to do. If you want tho, you can try without doing those things, but it doesnt matter. This is not an exact science. Its not like you lose points if you scratch for example.

I suffer because of the lack of good tomatoes in cities

Issue with that: how am i the one that makes myself suffer if i had no or limited control into the machine i am currwntly experiencing?

Oh and also, you can read The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle. Im reading it for the third time and one can always go deeper with it. Its like my Bible. Helps me immensely, its one of those books that can help both beginners and advanced and all of the spectrum between.

Above comments are awesome. I would add something too. Check out videos on youtube on deep breathing. If you dont check out any vids, here is a tactic that I implement whenever i am in a situation that brings anxiety in me - for example talking to a girl I like. Whenever you feel anxious, take three deep breathes. inbreath for 5,6 or 7 seconds making sure that your belly expands and not your chest, then same amount of time keep the breath in and again same amount of time breathe out, slowly, letting go of all the shit. I do deep breathing whenever i get the chance and it makes me feel good and relaxed. Breath is something we all have, so its the best tool.

HEhe im so evil, ive been feeding your egos this entire time by giving you reputations ^.^

Ok, but how is it not happening? From what i hear from Rupert spira and is verified in my own experience is that experience IS real. Even last night, when I dreamt, that experience was just as real, even if it was a dream. What i mean is i both understand you, that this existence is after all a dream, even though i dont experience it this way yet, becausse i havent awakened completely out of the dream and disagree that its not really happening, since even dreams are REAL experience and experience is all there is. I think most need to bite the bullet and believe that this is a dream instead of knowing foe themselves. We need to trust the source, thats enough. That way the whole planet can get on the same level more or less and live in a peaceful dream. Cause experience is real nontheless. One can suffer in his all dreams and that suffering is real indeeeeed. I know from m experience as a professional dreamer.

So I need to give up on the thinker and the doer, even tho thats bad for the human system i am currently identifying with? What i mean is, if i stop thinking and doing, the human system will be jobless in no time and die of hunger etc. Am i not both the watcher and the watched though? isnt this non duality? Both the ego and the true self. Both the illusion and the truth behind it?

And also how come I am the one that has to think about how to develop programs here at work, if I am only the watcher. It feels like I am also the doer and the thinker, since I am the one that chooses where to direct attention, no? When i sit around and wait for the doer to do it, because im just watching, nothing gets done - in other words

Yea, but if i am the silent invisible watcher behind my ego and etc, then how can I find that, if it cannot be found by definition, cause it is the one that watches? Unless i make some kind of mirror for me to look at lol

I see! Tnx

I wish this shit was a bit more logical, so the mind can grasp it
