  1. Hi everyone, I would like to know if some of you are doing this, and if it's effective. Right now I work from 4:00AM to 11:30PM everyday, and despite going to sleep everyday at 8:00PM, my mind refuse to sleep at this hour. So I was wondering, could I split my sleep into 2 or 3 sessions of 1.5 to 2 hours, with 2 hours of meditation per day on top of that. I know there is people who sleep 30 minutes every 2/3 hours, but considering that I have to stay awake for 10 hours straight everyday that's not possible for me. Thank you in advance
  2. Someday along the path, all of this will be irrelevant. You won't be able to be triggered, because you'll really know and feel why those people act this way.
  3. Peter Ralston (From the Book of not Knowing). Leo in a nutshell
  4. I made the decision to go to college next year, I'm 28. Pretty sure I would do the same at 48, it all depends and your current mindset and objectives
  5. It don't take anything from what he did. We're talking about sex here, not murder or torture/rape. Maybe in India it is seen as a devil act, but in the rest of the world, it's a basic human need.
  6. You didn't because you didn't change your psychology and habits/interests enough to frequent different kind of people. I'm not saying that on a negative note, that means there is room to grow and that it will happen when it will and should happen.
  7. Talking about living true to your values, today was a good day. I finally know my job decently enough to guide customer, and even if it's just basic guidance (working in a hypermarket) the egoless state and bliss that appears just after is amazing. Know imagine this feeling, and multiply it by 100, this is how it probably feels to live according to your deepest values.
  8. What he doesn't say in the video, is that you have to commit 100% of your time to your vision, otherwise, you'll backslide again, and again, and again, to finally never reach even the starting point of what you dream every night. There is no place for pleasure or distraction, no time to waste, you either commit 100% to your dream and actually do it, or you don't. Sure, you can still be somewhat successfull by doing it with just most of your time, but you'll never be one of the best. Being one of the best isn't in order to be more important than other, it is because you want to excel at what you love to do, and to do that, you can't aim low, you have to aim even higher than what you think is possible. If you actually find your life purpose and live your life accordings to your personal strenghts, then there is no reason to do anything else. Nothing else will make you fulfilled except that anyway, not even your dream partner. So you gotta really ask the question why you aren't doing it ? Why don't you go all the way ? Well the reason is simple, it's because deep down, you know you can.
  9. As long as you're making progress bit by bit, it's not a problem. If you backfire to the point of regressing, that's an another story.
  10. God, can you at least give me 24 hours between every of your major test, thank you.
  11. Quit now. Quit and do what you feel the need to do without any things that sidetrack you. That's the only way you can do great things in life, and there is no reason why you couldn't if you actually make the decision.
  12. Well, I promised myself I'll never tell it to anyone, not even my "soulmate" if that ever happen :3
  13. If you can last more than 1 month without a wet dream, you'll feel godlike :3
  14. When your boss tries to put pressure on you, but don't even see him or yourself as real anymore.
  15. It's not because you love someone inconditionally, that you don't make them understand that what's they are doing is stupid as fuck. You can still love intensely someone and still breaking up, because there is too much abuse (or any other reasons). It's not because you love baby Hitler inconditionally that you would let him kill millions if you have the power to resist him in some ways. If you love inconditionally, that also means you love everyone else too, and you would want to save them from the mental turmoil of loss, slavery etc..., maybe even kill Hitler if that was possible (despite you loving him).
  16. The easiest and one of the most effective meditation is awareness of the breath, eyes closed or open. There is a reason why Zen mainly use this meditation technique all over the world, it's easy and very effective if you don't expect anything and don't try to control the breath. An another that is extremely easy and effective (in nature or in the train/metro), is to just listen to sound around you eyes closed. This is the meditation that got me to a thoughtless state for weeks, I have no clue where I heard of it, can't even find it on google
  17. These past few days, something very weird happened. At first it was difficult to perceive it, I didn't even know what I was dicovering something. This morning I could clearly see what it was, for the first time. So right now you think you're a spiritual seeker, that you actually want to know what reality is, that in some sort of way, you want to be aware of yourself ? This is true and wrong at the same time, because you actually designed this game so perfectly, that everything is made to not realize this. You also really want it, otherwise there wouldn't be a possibility to actually do it. This is easily explained by what infinity is, which is every possibility of everything in all directions/time/space/senses and even senses/space/time that we can't even think about as human beings, because our mind and perception are limited. So the thing I discover this morning was this, I want and don't want to realize it, BOTH. I just realized that everytime my perception of reality started to get weird, my eyes instantly moved, by themselves. Everytime the mind becomes extremely quiet, it tries to pull itself to some fantasy to think about, or some concepts to explain to random people it doesn't even know. If you can see that for yourself, for real, in your everyday experience, you'll start to have lots of fun This is hilarious because it is the mind that thinks it's stupid, and the mind itself that laugh at it because it's hilarious to think it's stupid ! Not only that, but you also start to understand that it's all a prank you're doing to yourself. Just a joke
  18. Just for one day ? A big slut.
  19. There is a simple solution to this. You sit, you think about your death. You do that until your death doesn't trigger any emotion in you.
  20. You need to have a girlfriend and have passionate and dirty sex with her. You need to have some friends with similar interest and hang out some time. You definitely need to learn how to be at ease socially without any judgment or anxious thoughts. You need to do those things, not because you need them, but because you need to really understand why you don't need them. There is no need for anything actually, but really knowing that is very different than doing mental masturbation about it, which means taking actions. There is no shortcut here, your mind actually doesn't know if it doesn't need those things, it thinks it does, but it doesn't.
