That's how I see it too. When you've come to the point that you really don't know what you are, self-inquiry become just a doing. Better going for a long walk in the forest, in total silence, just admiring the beauty and mistery of nature at this point, it will be far more pleasant and effective. If it's winter, then just meditate and be, which will be the same thing at some point. It's when you surrender to the fact that you can't do shit that it comes, which DOES NOT means you should be lazy and stay inconscious watching tv, having low quality sex or playing video game all day (or whatever you do that makes you inconscious). It only means you acknowledge that the only thing you can really do is to let yourself be in the present moment without resistance whatever you do, that's what it means.

If you tell the girl you're doing nofap she will be surprised and have a lot of respect (unless she's stupid as fuck). And it doesn't matter, you can still fuck her 10 minutes after, hell you can even continue to fuck her without stopping after your ejaculation.

The amount of drama between couple when vr sex will be available will be insane. So much fun ahead !

The book of not knowing, or how to mindfuck your mind so much that you don't even know what is real or not anymore. I understand why it's the first on the list now

I was thinking @Leo Gura, did you planned to make a Psychedelics "How to" (sticky thread) ? I know you could have legal problem if you cite some websites and of course dealers. I'm not talking about that though, I'm talking about basics steps to take them safely per categories, tools that are legal that can be used to verify the purity of the substances, basic rules on how to deal a purchase with a dealer, and how to find one (still without citing anyone or any websites), frequencies to take them, etc ... Of course we should do our researchs ourselves (very easily with a google search), but if you really wants to limit the misuses of it, there is no reasons not to make a sticky, it can only be an upside for your community.

I don't remember exactly when he said the name of the church, so you'll have to watch the entire episode.

Notice you're talking to a lots of people heavily identified to their ego. The ego does not want the truth, so how did he avoid it while still thinking he's going for it ? Mental masturbation. @Ether Most likely no, there is so much self-deception going that even 10 books wouldn't cover all of that shit

Do shadow work until there is no past left in you, meditate everyday, be ultra conscious of every one of your thoughts/emotions without judging them and fully accepting them. That's how you learn to love, because in the end, there is only one being, you. If you love unconditionally yourself, then you will love others too. True unconditional love is enlightenment, because to love unconditionally you have to realize who you are, which is exactly what enlightenment is.

Very simple, when you see everything as you, when you're not the center of your experience, but just one experience happening inside the whole, Then everything that you experience (with this 1st person view) is you, and therefore you are literally moving in you, through you, there is nothing that separates you from everything "else", except appearances. It only happened once to me (for a few seconds), so if you need more precision @summon an enlightened dude.

I'll read it asap, and buy it if it's not total bullshit (which I doubt it is). And good luck, I hope it will work it out for you FREE STUFF BOYZZZ !!! (couldn't help it, not sorry )

Dude, you can call cops, medics and fireguard with it, it's ok not to have one if you live in a community where you're always with people around you, or in a very big city where there is always a lot of people around (but even then, at night shit can still happen). That's one of the few reasons why I still keep a smartphone.

How was it ?

After all this mental masturbation, I only have one thing to say. DO THE WORK. It's worth 99999999999 more than the emotional labor you put into it. Your face 99% of the day in one year:

ENLIGHTENMENT NOW PRESENCE AWARENESS

If you're honest about your intention, most girls will want to fuck with you, even if they wanted a relationship in the first place. It's all about how and when you say it. You could lie of course, but if you start lying there, you will lie at every level of your life.

Ok i just talked to a good friend, and everytime it was his time to talk i focused really hard on my sense of self. Good exercice to do, but you will look very weird while doing it, so do it with your bestie

Almost there ! In 10 years: Almost th ...

Guys, enlightenment is just the default state, nothing special about that. Don't think it's something special or rare, it only limits you.

You mean when you are totally still but you can still sense your mind seeking in a non-visual/words/sound way (I don't even know how to say that lol) ? It's starting to fade away, but it was there for a loooong time.

Keep it up, the pain will disappear if you don't hide it and feel it.

EASY !

This question assumes there is a limit, and you can't know that: Apparently, in most cases, it goes like this: Ego Realization: Realization that your thoughts are not you, that you are the watcher aware of them. (made up this one lul). Self-Realization: Realization that there is no "you" as a separate entity, and that reality has no substance whatsoever. God-Realization: Realization that you are one with everything, of infinity, and arising of unconditional love. Apparently there is a stage where you merge so fully with life that you don't even feel like you're doing anything, it goes totally on auto pilot ... The later stagse might be so abstract and so deep, that it could not even be possible to express it with words, that could explain why there isn't so much information about it, or maybe because so few people attained it. Leo has said he will do an episode about that, so I guess there is more about it, I admit I didn't do an intensive research

How much aware you think you are when you start consciousness work How much aware you think you are after 1 year of consciousness work

Hum yes it is useful, if you like, you know, have friends, a wife, a family. Now if you live in a cave in australia, that's an another story of course :3

I also do this. This is good, you don't need a specific technique if you don't find one that feels natural to you. After all, meditation is just about being present, and nothing else. Although, when you start and your mind is extremely agitated, it is better to stick to one technique (like breathing or body scan) until you are able to choose to be present. You can use certain meditations to increase your concentration to a very high degree (and this can be very helpful if this is what you want), but this isn't necessary, what matters is how much you can stay in the present and feel at peace with what is. Trust your own intuitions about this, sometimes you'll feel you need to practice body scan meditation, sometimes you'll feel that you want to do some Do nothing, that's ok to switch (if it's not neurotic and intuition based), because that means your body/mind needs specific types of awareness at this specific moments.
