  1. I wish I was in hell like some of you. I'm in equanimity for so long now that I start to doubt I'm even progressing anymore. Probably have to do a dark room retreat, lots of meditation aren't doing shit. @Sevi My avatar explain it pretty cleary, HMMMMMM !
  2. Because otherwise there wouldn't be any experience, so you must be there somewhere, don't you ?
  3. There is a brain, we're just saying that's not what you essentially are. Think about it for a while, if you were the brain, you will literally believe everything it says. Except you can be the observer of your own thoughts and not act on them, even when they scream you to do something. If you didn't experience this, well of course you believe you're the brain, since it's what you're experiencing.
  4. As much as a concept as you thinking the earth is round, or that the world war 2 happened. It's data in your mind, you don't actually know if it's true, same for your brain. It's "common sense" (society/culture) that tells you that, there is no evidence in your direct experience that's true.
  5. Start by developping a 20 minutes meditation habit. Then in 2 months a 30 minutes self-inquiry habit. Read The Power Of Now from Eckhart Tolle, then when you've disidentify from your mind, read The Book Of Not Knowing from Peter Ralston.
  6. Well, I want to hug them really hard yes, but not that way no
  7. If you had a neurosis about not being worthy of woman or that something is wrong with you, it can help to realize that's not the case. If I didn't take care of my virginity I would still idealize women, now they are just people that I can (very rarily) be attracted to.
  8. By remembering you are life itself and there must be a good reason why you're throwing yourself something
  9. Maybe get back on some entertainment that interest you, but just limit it to 1 hour per day.
  10. Well, just keep being this presence. Try to be it whatever you do, and it will all unfold by itself
  11. @Danielle So good that I copino pastorino your posts
  12. Except Zion is still in the Matrix @egoless Chillax hommie, I wasn't attacking you
  13. Love is what's left when there is no one inside. What you think of is attachement, it's not the same, at all. That's just words though, get the experience, just like anything else. Get the experience, believing in it is useless if you don't actually do what's necessary.
  14. What is love ? What is air/space ? What is existence/life ? What is nothing(ness) ? What is consciousness ? What is infinity/the universe ? If you don't seriously question those questions , without trying to conceptualize the fuck out of them and actually really be genuinely interest in them to seek in your own experience what they are pointing to, the chance of it happening is close to 0.
  15. That's a defense mechanism of the ego, it's totally normal.
