How to be wise

I don’t know much about shadow work to be honest. But I know that ‘The Work’ will take you straight to sagehood in a matter of a few years. I’m talking about the level of sagehood that only old enlightened people have.

@Samra @Charlotte @Otogi This technique will solve all your problems:

@moon777light @Arman @Truth Addict Shadow work is fine, but if you want enlightenment and are currently depressed/have emotional issues, I would highly recommend this technique:

When I started ‘The Work’ a month ago, I was suffering from chronic anxiety. Today, it’s all gone. My body now feels a lot lighter. I realise that there is no such thing as time. The truth of non duality is slowly dawning itself upon me. My habits have been transforming. Even my family has told me that I changed. A month ago, I had chronic fatigue, and would get tired if I so much as went to the corner shop. Today, my chronic fatigue has reduced by 4-5 times. (According to Byron Katie, energy problems only come from your beliefs). That has been true for me so far. My progress is only starting...

Read the book ‘one thousand names for joy’ to know what it feels like to complete the work.

Many people have become enlightened with it. We’re not just talking about enlightenment. We’re talking about sage hood. Total purification of your mind, emotions and habits. And not in decades. In a few years.

I enjoyed watching this video, even though I understood very little of it. Although something he said has really confused me. Nisargadatta: “Everything is beingness. But I, the absolute, am not that.” I heard Leo always say that ‘everything is consciousness, everything is one’, but nisargadatta is contradicting that. Why is he distinguishing himself from everything else?

@Faceless @Salvijus When you transcend the illusion of time, reality will feel new to you. Every moment of your life will feel like it’s happening for the first time. Incredible!

@Erlend K In the episode ‘The big picture of self-actualization’, Leo said that becoming a sage and fully self-actualizing takes decades. And that is true with bhuddist meditation and Yoga. Shinzen young, who has been practicing zen bhuddism for decades, admitted that he did not fully free himself of suffering. (Obviously he doesn’t suffer nearly as much as we do, but he said he has some way to go.) For yoga, there have been people like Ennio Nimis, who have been practicing Kriya yoga for fourty years hardcore, and again they’re still not completely free of suffering. Byron Katie, on the other hand, hasn’t suffered a negative emotion in 31 years. The reason I call it heaven is because that’s what I feel often after I finish a session of the work. ALL SUFFERING is because of a belief that you have. The work is a method for undoing that suffering. No labelling, no breathing, none of that. Just straight inquiry into your beliefs until you have none left (that cause you suffering). When you have no beliefs left to inquire, where will any negative emotion come from. You will feel ecstatic every moment of your life. Your mind will be quiet. You will be enlightened. Why meditate or do yoga after that? What for? Of course, you can carry on contemplating after that to deepen your understanding of reality. But you will live with no problems. The goal of yoga or meditation was just that. But Leo is right. It will take decades with yoga or meditation. But with ‘The Work’, it’s a matter of a few years.

@Leo Gura @username ‘The work’ destroys all vasanas and karma. If one completes ‘The work’, they will feel blissful and ecstatic for every moment of their lives until their death, no matter what happens or what they do. Total unconditional love will come from doing it. And it’s so easy!

Then can you explain his quote that I mentioned earlier? Why is he distinguishing himself from other people?

The work of Byron Katie does lead to enlightenment. And very quickly to be honest. What else is standing between you and permanent enlightenment other than your beliefs? By the way, Byron Katie actually used ‘The Work’ for her enlightenment. Her first enlightenment experience was just an experience. She did ‘The Work’ on her self and became permanently enlightened after one year of doing it. There are similar stories from her clients. What is the difference between Ramana Maharishi and someone who completed ‘The Work’?

@Ether @Truth @Mikael89 @Prabhaker @DoubleYou Check out the book ‘one thousand names for joy’ where Byron Katie describes her day to day experiences as an enlightened person. It’s amazing!

@Shakazulu be sure to check out this technique. You can reach full enlightenment with it:

Meditation doesn’t work for me to be honest. But this might:

If you want permanent enlightenment for the smallest input of work, I would suggest that you check out this technique. Regular meditation will not get you to enlightenment (probably).

@Dodo By chasing it, I mean you’re working very hard to ‘get it open’. The point is, what is your goal. Is it enlightenment, or opening the chakras. If you’re goal is enlightenment, make sure to remember that opening the chakras is a means, a tool, and not the goal. Don’t get too obsessed with them.

@Dodo don’t get stuck in experiences or states. You’re goal is enlightenment. Stop chasing chakras and whatnot.

@Empty an enlightenment experience brings a lot of wisdom. What insights about reality did you receive? Did you realise that this world doesn’t exist. No space or time? Don’t confuse a blissful experience with an enlightenment experience. An enlightenment experience is metaphysical in nature.

@Empty everybody has that. People don’t meditate for hundreds of hours just for that.

So recently, I became aware of the fact that only the present moment exists. The past, to me, is just a bundle of thoughts and images in my mind. I only have direct experience of the present moment. And yet, I wonder, did yesterday actually happen? I mean, I remember waking up and doing things yesterday. But now, all that remains are images in my mind about yesterday. I have no proof of yesterday. All evidence of yesterday are memories in my head. Logically, you could argue that we humans can’t directly experience all of reality, so even though I can’t experience yesterday, it still existed. I don’t really know at this moment. It feels to me a bit that yesterday didn’t actually exist. But rationally, that doesn’t make sense to me. I’d love to hear your theories or experiences of this question.

@i am I AM I’m afraid the worst has happen about @vanish. Did you read his last post.

@Leightonm this can change your life:

@Leo Gura you mentioned in a previous post that hell-realms are a true phenomenon experienced by shamans. Could you please give more information on how to experience it. Btw, I intend to use it to grow myself, not for torturing purposes. Thanks.

Now I’m even more interested. How do you experience it? Name the psychedelic.
