That only happens if you have a spontaneous enlightenment, lots of people have a gradual one, which means they have a lot of time to acclimate.

Of course it can, awareness is always there, it's just not aware of itself. If you can't be aware of daydreaming, it may be because you're not conscious enough to do the do nothing meditation. I would say it's not a meditation for newbie, but I still feel newbie myself, so maybe it has more to do with understanding exactly what you have to do. After all people seek for decades, when their teachers tells them in 1000 differents ways to just be present, so everything can seem complicated I guess

There is only one way to know, and it's not by asking questions.

Then inquire why.

@Socrates Your situation looks like mine. The only major difference is that I'm at peace about it. You may think it's a bad thing, but actually it's this peace that allow me to take the right actions and actually change for the better. It's only been 1 year but so much has changed internally, yes from an external point of view it seems nothing has changed (except my mood), but if I had the choice to choose between all the personal developement skills in the world + 10 billions dollars, and internal peace, I would choose peace. Yes at some point you will need a better structure in your life, and you will have to drop some habits that takes too much time (maybe you need to do some of those things now) but what's more important above all is to chill your mind and starting to becoming one with life. From this state you will take the right action anyways, and even when you backslide (which almost always happen), you will just laugh at it and still keep going. Your main focus should always be to be conscious and to live in the present, it's the only way to appreciate life and doing real personal developement work. If you don't, then you'll tailchase some fake dream, learning and becoming good at something useless for what you genuinely wants to do. Or worse, not having any dream and just becoming the "perfect guy", for the sole reason to be the best and have all the success/money/girls. Most problems become non-issues when you get past the mind, so what you should do if you want real progress, is to do MORE spiritual "work", and less traditional personal developement, because not only most of them are about fixing some imaginary problems/fake goals but they just make you inconscious and way too much focused on them. If you can overcome the compulsive desire to think, then everything else becomes easy, and you will start to get some really juicy intuitions about what you really wants to do, instead of what your mind tells you to do.

I missed you Barney, how many stds have you know ?

From my point of view, it doesn't matter what meditation you pratice. They are all about putting you in the present moment, and once you are familliar with that, you don't need a "method" anymore, you just live like that.

You can be aware of daydreaming, that's the whole point of this technique. You let your mind loose, you but you stay conscious during that time.

If you're lost in thoughts you're not doing the do nothing method, you're just daydreaming.

The stage where you feel superior to other because you find out about spirituality will subside, so I recommand to go full meditation/awareness. All your problems stems from your psyche, and your psyche dystort everything. I wouldn't say I had it as bad as you, but I was pretty close, so it definitely work.

No need to buy it untill you read the books you can see for free (from the list). Then I also recommand to read "The Power of Now" (which is either not on the list or very low in it), probably one of the best book to read nowadays.

Get me out of here !!!

It it's nonsense, you're just confused about it, as we all were and as most people still are. Love as society describe it in movies and shows is a very poor substitute of what love really is. "True" love is way beyond that, and it isn't about one or several people, it's about everyone and everything. You aren't seeking love at that point, you ARE love. And it's nothing mysterious, and it's not behind the scene, it's there everywhere and at anytime. If you get very still you can experience that, it's not hard, it just require courage and patience.

Despiritualseeker: Would you want to sit and watch "my wall" Dehotgrill: OH YES, YESSS !!! Hummm, yes of course why not. I mean yeah sure whatever ... Despiritualseeker: Dehotgrill: Hummm, no bed ? Despiritualseeker: Bed is a worldly pleasure, let's kill our ego together ! Dehotgrill:

Because if you don't, you'll just stay inconscious. Inconscious lifestly is: Smoking because it's cool (Cancer) Getting married because society says you should (Unhappy marriage and kids with mental issues) Having lots of sex with random people because it shows you're cool (STD/unwanted children) Being rich, whatever the cost (neurosis) Being famous, whatever the cost (neurosis) Watching TV and playing video games all day (no time for self reflection) Junk Food (Health/Energy issues, also cancer) Watching/hear news all the time, and gossip about it (hate, ignorance and distress). Thinking about past and future all the time (suffering) Inconscious people tends (for the most part) to be closed-minded (hate, ignorance and suffering). They almost never take responsabilities for they actions (suffering) And they don't try to be their best self (suffering)

Irrelevant. Why would you care in the first place ? Because you don't get as much sex ? If you're half as good looking as you said, Tinder is your friend. Because they can get a relationship very quickly ? Yes and ? You think a relationship will make you happier ? Again, if you're half as good looking as you say, you know it's not true, well if you're honest with yourself of course. So why do you care ? Ask yourself this question FOR REAL, and untill you get a very very BAD feeling in the stomach, don't stop, because you didn't tell yourself the truth untill then. Then you will know, and don't be foolish, the answer to the problem won't be to be more successful with women (or whatever the answer), the real solution will be to look at that pain untill it totally dissolves and become a non-issue.

Realizing sex is just a distraction that your mind puts up in order to sustain the barrier it created between itself and happiness. Untill then, you will crave it, and it will never be enough. That's just an excuse, if it wouldn't be sex, then it would be success, or your look, or your bank account, there is literally millions of reasons not to be happy. The answer is to delve into your depression, to feel it totally, not repressing it or trying to get away from it. It's the only thing there is to do, but your will find all the excuses in the world not to do it, because deep down you need this pain, it makes you who you are, your very sense of identity is in it.

You're just needy, and being needy is the most disgusting trait to have if your goal is to attract women (which shouldn't be your goal anyway). Also, a relationship will never make you happy, not if you aren't already happy all by yourself, this can't and will never work. EVEN IF YOU GOT THE PERFECT GIRL, it still won't make you happy, not for very long ... The only way a relationship can work, is not only to be really masculine as a guy, but see through your ego bullshit and not letting it poison the relationship (assuming you find a girl who's healthy mentally). So stop wasting your energy chasing something that not only won't work, but will make you miserable in the process. Find happiness from within, THEN if a relationship comes, you can go with it, before that, it's just a dream that will never come true.

No one can answer that, it all depends which exercice resonate the most with you, so try them all for 1 week, then pick one. That's kind of a negative way to say it, but yeah, everything is just a reflection of you, there is nothing but you here.

It was more about seeing how much energy you could gather rather than absolutely having to do it. So guys, any updates ?

If you really don't have time, just meditate, especially if you just started. Beware though, not having 1 hour of free time every day means you're probably lying to yourself, or that you really need it (too lazy or workaholic).

@Ether Thank you ! 10:07 The rest of the video is quite funny too ^^

Taking care of your mental health, then your body (ideally both at the same time, but peace of mind is more important). This will naturally lead you towards self-realization, and ultimately towards unconditional love. This is really what you wants, not success, not what our society call love, and definitely not money. All those things, even life purpose (even though it should be your 2nd priority) aren't important, because even if you have it all, they will never be able to fulfill you. The only thing that can fulfill you is to realize you already are totally and utterly 101% fulfilled
