Shin

Detail the symptoms.

Are you ? If you are then you're still wasting time arguing on internet instead of helping others. If you're not, then this kinds of quote wars is a huge waste of time, time that you could use to works towards it.

@Charlotte Also read this:

When you hear for the first time from one of your friend "There is space around it" (talking about suffering): You don't know what love is ----- You are love Nothing is about you ----- Everything is about you Don't become a Zen devil ! ----- There is no right or wrong Don't kid yourself, you're not enlightened ----- You're already enlightened

It's free anal sex, can't say no to that !

So many people think of enlightenment as something so big that it cannot be something that simple.

I know you're not gonna like this, but this is how it will be resolved. Think intentionally about how your boyfriend could cheat on you, the worst kind of ways, then don't focus on the thoughts that will appear. Focus as fuck on the emotion in your body. Everytime it happens when you don't want to think about it, then feel that the emotions fully, and don't try to escape it. The goal is to accept the emotions so fully in you, that they will eventually dissolve. It can takes some days/weeks or months, it all depends how much you are ready to go into your pain. The more you resist it, the longer the pain will stay. The only magic pill that exist is this technique, every other techniques are temporary fixes, and most of the time it only makes it worse (alcohol/drugs etc ...).

Ahah no, you think you do

How could you have free will if you don't control your thoughts and you're identified to them ? It's just conditioned behaviors at this point. The thing is that you can only acknowledge that once you've raised some awareness, otherwise you'll just think it's bullshit or some metaphors.

Limit it to 1 hour per day (2 the week end), and decide a monthly budget for it. You could totally drop it, but that would require all your attention and energy, and apparently you don't have right now. Walking, music, sport, yoga, meditation, sex, and even just sitting doing nothing are ways that are far more effective to recharge you than Video games and TV ever will.

You don't have to disbelieve them, you just have to watch them, it will sort it out itself. If you try to disbelieve them, it's still the mind trying to control something.

Learning non-duality as a newbie: You don't exist ----- You're everything There is no self ----- There is a true self There is no free will ----- You have 100% free will The obstacle is the path -----You have to follow the eightfold path There is nothing you can do ----- Meditation/Self-inquiry/Retreat/Yoga ... Don't chase enlightenment ----- You have to desire enlightenment really bad

Post that in the "Leo's practical guide to enlightenment" topic. We proud of ya

Is it P2W ? Do you have to use the cashshop to have a fast enlightenement ?

No it isn't. In really old cultures, women were considered as goddess and most of the divinities were female. It's only when the ego started to grow full force that men became dominant and oppressive towards women. The fact that most gods suddenly became men, is also a sign that the ego was projecting itself, because the men mind is much more prone to mental activities. It's actually a good point, men are rejecting their feminine side not only in their mind, but also by rejecting and abusing women. If they were accepting it, they could start the transition to become the truth, and this is not what the ego wants at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddess

You really should leave and find a place of your own, and forget about her.

"You never notice my boots" "Shit babe, I'm struggling with being, can't you see ? Jizz ...

They want to remove unecessary suffering. As simple as that.

The first time I did it, I raped all my family, tortured them, and killed them. So I guess you're fine lol

You still need to sit to do your meditation, it's still a huge boost to your consciousness. Why do you want to get away from people ? How do you even know they all are in their head ?

You can read The power of now, but more than that would be just mental masturbation.

Yes, the true self shine more and more through silence. The only thing there is to do is to let it happen through silence and being (it's already fully there, it's just clouded by thoughts and beliefs). When we say silence, we mean being the watcher behind the thoughts which is aware of every perceptions (thoughts are perceptions too). Being is just being conscious whatever you do, especially when you do nothing at all, like just sitting in a park or a field/forest and just, well being

This is why every good teachers doesn't really wants you to tell you the truth, because it doesn't help you, it makes you fantasize about it and mental masturbate about it, which isn't the point. Good teachers gives you techniques to realize the present moment and how you can stay in it, and that include using metaphors to make you realize that you're asleep and wake you up through them. You could have all the knowledge about enlightenment in your head, that it will still not be enough to experience it, because it's beyond thought. You can't outsmart your mind to go beyond thought, you either go beyond thought or you don't.
