Please share your thoughts!

hahahahahah, I am that kind of a man that looks deeply into the eyes and just listens carefully to what a girl says. I remember I was once with a girl and she was talking about all her problems (we had a therapy session), and she fell in love with me. I literally did nothing. So, I guess it's very important to have a grounded stance: be present, don't judge, let the girl speak without interrupting her, breath normally and relax your body. For me, it works! I'd also add to make eye gestures. Generally, I am serious when I am in a date, but girls like me ( they have no option not to )

Here is a great video on Body Awareness. Give it a try, it will definitely worth your time.

Here is a great site I wanna share with you on emotions, that might be helpful to your actualization http://atlasofemotions.org/

H How do you qualify someone as special?

20 months without porn, 3 days without orgasm, 30 minutes without fap, 1 month wihtout sex .. Lawl.

Love you! This words.. they are like coming from my heart (even though you have written them)!

What characteristics of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and physical appearance are difficult for you to accept ?

@cetus56 Maybe not, or rather it will (for sure) when the body dies.

When we are referring to the word "mind" what do we really mean ? Is the mind synonymous with thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, images ? Is the "mind" the same as the identification of Consciousness with thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, images ? Is the mind an object "inside" Consciousness by which Consciousness is made of, but not an attribute of Consciousness? I am confused and therefore need some help. Thanks!

@Nahm Thanks you for reminding me to relax my body. It is something that I need to remember to myself to do constantly. Relaxing the body and breathing can get me to the I, the aware Presence. I combine Reikian Therapy with Holotropic Breath work and Body Awareness and the effects are magical!

@Nahm I am starting to understand that with thoughts I can not understand. The only thing I understand is that I (can) understand. Even though I do not understand, I still understand that I do not understand. And the loop continues.... There is always understanding, isn't there?

Yes! For me self-acceptance is absolutely crucial form self expansion. Mainly, the acceptance of the physical body. I am currently doing the daily exercises of Reikian Therapy and the last month I can look myself easily in the mirror without a lot of judgment about how I look. This has increased my self confidence and self esteem (one pillar of self-esteem is the practice of accepting ones self). Practice non judgment in front of your mirror if you struggle with this issue. It works wonders, 5-10 minutes daily. Also try to affirm that you love yourself in front of your mirror. Do this 1st thing in the morning with all of your focus. I would suggest that we need to practice self-acceptance daily, in every step we make, every breath we take, consciously. We definitely do not have to wait the "precious moment of awakening". Find a balance in your life, do not let yourself get absorbed in personal development all of the time.

Actually not. There is only an awareness of the dream, because if there was not, then I would not wake up remembering the dream. Is it correct ? Did not get you! Yes, mainly while I am meditating. But where is that 'space' ? I do not know. I want to ask you, when I am looking at the space in the night am I that space ?

Yes, that's for sure. One at a time. Thoughts seem like they arise continuously from nowhere and 'someone or something' is aware of them (well, most of the time). Sometimes I laugh. Sometimes I hear 'voices' or see images (like having sex). It seems like they reside between my two ears, behind the eyes, somewhere in the brain area, but I do not know exactly were. As the body moves in the space it seems that thoughts move too in the space ( wtf? ). The only thing that my body-brain can do is to cover up empty space...

@Joseph Maynor I'll do it, I am currently contemplating what language is. @cetus56 Does Maya include emotions, feelings, perceptions, fears, desires the body ?

like an emotion for example, right ?

I assumed that the word 'mind' was identical with the word 'brain' and that the so called 'brain' is responsible for producing every thought. Maybe thoughts are produced from nothing. They just arise from nothing. Maybe there is 1 single mind (which is Consciousness?) that produces thoughts that "individual" minds capture. So my assumption is that the 'mind' is just an object inside Consciousness and sometimes Consciousness identifies with it.

@Jack River Beyond the thought or knowing isn't there a knowing of knowing ?

But, I guess that I need to know where this word "mind" points to in order to have an understanding of the context of the book. Or maybe I don't ?

@Nahm Everything boils down to that I do not know. I do not have words to describe it. But how do I know that everything arises (or exists) from empty space ? Hmm, well If I see in my room, from my direct experience my, bed exist because space exist, right ? If I see the starts, they exist because there is space around (and "behind" them). @Jack River Well, I am asking because I read about the 'mind' on books, so I would like to have a description of mind. For example, when E. Tolle refers to the mind, what does he mean ? Or when B. Katie mentions the egoic mind, what is this?

@Nahm I do not know. .. But, when I ask who is it that is asking 'what is the mind' some words will come like "me". And what is the "me" that is answering? I do not know! But who is it that does not know ? I do not know that I do not know who is it that does not know! It seems like a strange loop. So it does not worth investigating... How do I know that my feet, crown of the head and hands are the end of my body? I do not. Or how can I know that I am not deluding myself if I say that: But it is obvious that feet, hands and skull are the end of the body! How can I be sure ? But, I see it, It's obvious! Again, how do I know it. Again, it's a loop, isn't it ?
