How to be wise

Life can easily be a distraction from enlightenment. Just look at everyone else.

@AlwaysJoggin Check out A H Almaas. He’s an Arab non-dual teacher, but I don’t know if he speaks in Arabic when doing lectures.

Or ruin his chance of getting enlightened. Remember he didn’t isolate himself because he’s enlightened, he isolated himself because he wants to be enlightened. Some people can only do that through isolation. Although, that Buddhist monk from earlier is to blame as well. If I were him, I would’ve had a condom somewhere in the house in anticipation of such a moment. Monkhood 101.

Even if he physically abandons it, he can never forget about it. His inner attention will be divided because he will always wonder if this will affect him in the future. If the mother can’t survive alone, he will be forced to come out of his isolation. And then there is the issue of a child growing up without a father, which could happen because a stepfather is not guaranteed. He will feel guilty about any psychological problems the child develops because of his absence. For a man, a child carries an enormous amount of karma. Even if he can physically continue isolation, his inner world will forever be disrupted, because the future is uncertain. When a man looks at a woman, he will feel attracted. That’s why priests and holy men say that you should always look away from a woman, and never speak to her. For a hermit, she has the potential of ruining his life. In most religions, women are seen as a distraction and dangerous temptation for men. Although largely delusional, this is the small kernel of truth in it.

That’s why religious men and hermits/monks are told to stay away from women. A child is going to permanently disrupt his life of solitude.

I found that you need to have some excitement in your life, otherwise you’ll be too bored. But, you need to keep reminding yourself that there is zero importance in Life purpose. It is only for entertainment and passing the time. All importance lies in your own enlightenment, not other’s.

I’ve lost faith in Philosopher AI. It thinks Byron Katie is just a fraud. https://philosopherai.com/philosopher/byron-katie-462234

@TheSomeBody If you just want sex, why not hire prostitutes. There’s no shame in it.

@Leo Gura Perhaps you could somehow speak with ‘extra-terrestrial doctors’, if you know what I mean. On DMT, if you can speak with aliens and other beings, maybe some of them might have information on how to heal you. Maybe you could channel them?

Have you tried searching for batgap or rick archer in your mailbox.

@Angelo D If you mean imaginary, then yes. All of reality is just imagination.

A year ago I thought I reached final enlightenment. Soon afterwards though, I realised I was no where near the end. This path is endless my friend. Always more. Most of the enlightened people you know are famous teachers. Clearly at some point they ceased meditation and focused on teaching. Had they carried on, they would’ve been more conscious.

@EmptyVase The ultimate solution to the ego will come from your meditation practice, but that will only be after a year at least. We are thinking long term. As far as what happens now, it doesn’t matter. As long as you know that in the future your ego will die, what happens in the coming weeks or months is rather inconsequential. Two years from now, you will just smile at it. Think about the future, when those problems will be permanently gone, and less on all the suffering happening now. A classic Buddhist advice: The road to Hell looks like heaven, and the road to heaven looks like hell. You are on the road to heaven. But the road is hell-like. Just endure it and think about the final destination. The only necessary thing for that is your daily practice. Good luck!

@EmptyVase Ignore the ego backlash. The only thing you should be thinking about is keeping your meditation practice. As long as that continues, let your ego backlash do as it pleases.

Sell it to one person. If they like it, they will tell someone else. And so on until you have a sizeable audience.

But isn’t there a link between less ego and being more peaceful? Seems like a direct relationship.

@danton And what if humanity isn’t real?

My ideal lifestyle would be to lock myself in my apartment and live alone, pursuing enlightenment and enjoying isolation. But of course, I wouldn’t be able to pay the rent and survive. Does anyone have any ideas about how to earn a living whilst living in isolation?

I’m in the middle of the shadow work, which is why I require the isolation. The boredom is a sign that you need some enlightenment. Also, getting kicked out of the house and dying in the streets is also a dream. I would rather wake up from the dream before that happened...

It’s not fear. It’s just that when I am communicating with other people, I am less meditative and more distracted from my internal world, therefore it slows down my pursuing of enlightenment. My greatest progress happens when I’m most isolated.

There’s always a more deeper enlightenment. The road of awakening never ends.

@Leo Gura You talked about a new psychedelic in this video. Could you tell us what it is? https://www.actualized.org/insights/ego-collapse-awakening

@Leo Gura Can you fully dissolve the ego through meditation? Or will there always be some ego left?

Go to Google, and write down ‘how to improve concentration book’. You’ll find several books specifically solving your problem.
