  1. I don't know, I'm still waiting for a pm of AleksM for the ones he said that are "extremely powerful".
  2. Yes and no. Your "problems" will still be there, but you won't make drama of them in your mind. @Moreira It's not seen as a problem since there is no drama, it's just an event that you have to deal with.
  3. Easy to experience, impossible to understand.
  4. For those who wants to guess what it will be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle
  5. He realized he was dead all along, that the ego was just an illusion. Just like any old scripture, there is a lot of bullshit in it, cause the people who wrote it didn't understand jackshit about it. Same thing for reincarnations, it's just identification with a new form (or an old one), again and again. You "go" to the hellish realms when there is a huge identification (you're more inconscious = more suffering), then you go to the paradisiac ones when you go meta and realize an identification was an illusion (more conscious = less suffering).
  6. I FIGURED OUT, LEO WILL CONTACT BOB FROM THE DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE WILL BE POSSESSED BY BOB, AND BOB WILL PAINT FOR US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILLING TWO STONES WITH ONE BIRD, SO PROFOUND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. What do you think they are doing in a Zen monastery ? I'm not saying self-inquiry isn't usefull, I'm just saying you can be conscious every second, and go deeper and deeper, there is no end.
  8. It becomes way easier if you watch your thoughts patterns 24/7
  9. The momentum of your meditations will carry into your trip, and vice versa
  10. 2 week solo retreat + 1 trip in the middle and 1 trip just before the end.
  11. It could be the case. I don't see the point to think like that personally, I just see that life becomes more and more enjoyable, fun and beautiful, that's enough to makes me think it's no bullshit (at least for now). Even if it was bullshit, if we follow the logic of the path, that would mean there is something even better after this fake enlightenment paradigm ! Super Enlightenment 2 !!!
  12. Because I had samadhis where I wasn't "Shin" anymore (never took any psychedelic). So it really doesn't make any sense that I could be the brain.
  13. You CAN be self aware, of course you can that's what you practice during your meditation or when you practice presence of your thoughts during the day. You just can't locate it, because there isn't a location for it, it's both everywhere and nowhere. When you really really REALLY get that, not just some vague feeling, then you have an awakening.
  14. If you only do that you aren't that aware that much of your thoughts pattern, because if you focus on the body thoughts tends to disappear pretty quickly. Try both approach for let's say a full month each and then see what changes. BTW, awareness is doing you all along, except now you think you have free will, but you're still its little bitch
  15. Enlightenment is so simple that it becomes extremely difficult. It's also very hard until you realize it's easy as fuck. Are you too stupid or too smart ? Maybe both ?
  16. Force yourself to meditate 1 hour everyday for 1 month, then stop completely for 1 month. Suddenly, your motivation will rise
  17. If you can feel it or see it, then you're not it. It's really that simple.
  18. If we identify to the body/mind just like a schizo identify to a chair, wouldn't it be useful to study how those people are cured ?
  19. That's a bold statement you're claiming. I will need 3 recent studies (no hippie ones plz), 1 personal quote from a popular scientist (don't say Martin Ball, he's clearly a junkie) and 2 eggs on the grill (+beacon ofc). Don't take too much time to answer, I'm like super important, I have stuff to do you know, like jerking off and yelling to my dog because he barks (what a stupid dog ...). @Natasha
  20. I see a potatoe ... Yeah ... I guess I'm not the artistic type kind of guy ...
  21. After watching the video: EDIT: Bought it, needed it for college anyway
  22. The issue here is the mind that can't stop judging and labelizing everything. Once that does not happen anymore, you stop judging yourself and other, you stop seeing object as merely objects too. You don't see reality as it is unless this system stop, you live in an augmented reality that feels dead, without any beauty.
  23. "The entity which thinks, cannot be the one which sees that"
