Don't push out your mind, don't seek something, just be ! Just be conscious whatever happens, that's the only thing you have to "do". DON'T DO ANYTHING !!!

Cooking, cleaning, gardening, secretary work, etc.

This is the kind of situations where being funny is important.

You know that you have to work if you go to a monastery ? They don't just meditate all day, in fact they only meditate 2 hours everyday

What money ? Just ask to a master, if he sense that you're serious enough he won't make you pay anything.

Living in the moment without identification with thoughts. You kinda have, at some point, to stop the identification with thoughts, This isn't a luxury you can bypass, it is the core obstacle of your limited perceptions of what we call reality. Every single problem in your life is about your false sense of identification, the paradigm you don't even think you're locked in right now. When you truly stop the identification, and you come to follow your intuition, you start to flow with life, and there is no need for any teachings/teachers anymore. The only thing you need at this point is consistency in your meditation and mindfullness practice, and it all unfold by itself. Just remember that if you take this too seriously, it won't help, because there is only the ego to take/crave anything seriously. That doesn't mean (at all) that you should be lazy or stop striving on your goals, it only means that you should start taking these things from a distance. I can assure you that if you just increase by 5/10 minutes your meditation every months, be very mindfull of your thoughts and don't buy into them (especially negative ones), and just walk and appreciate nature for 1 hour every day, it will have a HUGE impact in your life in the upcoming months. Be disciplined about it, but don't take it seriously. I know it seems contradictory, but it isn't. The human mind is limited, and this is why there seems to be so much paradoxes with enlightenment. This is also the reason why you never have any explanation from an intuition, because it comes from an infinite intelligence that has no limit. Which leads to the fact that seeking any knowledge about enlightenment is a trap and a waste of your time, ultimately. When you'll be able to see your mind as something external to you, like any other things, you can start to see it as yourself as everything else, too. You can do this without any effort, or by using your will, either way it can only happen without any thoughts or monkey mind. At first it is almost impossible or very evasive, but the more you do it, the easier it is, and at some point it becomes natural. It won't be a mindfuck, it will feel natural.

There are good reasons why some teachers never speak of this, and I don't think saying those things on a forum where there is clearly damaged people on it is a good idea.

Facing your fears is like a cheat code to enlightenment, so there is like no reasons not to do it anyway

You've been upgraded !

Try to describe it, because it is most likely a temporary state. You can go back in your old ways pretty fast when this kinds of states are gone, and at the same time going further knowing there is no real coming back as you said.

Seriously, I can't put on the light cause of mosquitos, and the forum is killing my eyes. That's one of the reason I don't browse it anymore at night

You got to be serious about it to the point you realize being serious about it is counter productive. You have to go through the serious phase first though, it really can't be skipped.

There are severals studies that proves it, music can really help you (just google it). Never start or finish a day without the kind of music that cheer you up or calm you down. Just like taking a good walk every day, listening to music is important, it feeds your "soul" and make you remember the shit you have to do. It's way more than that though, for some of you that can listen to music without a single thought, you enter a zone where time doesn't exist and there is only this uplifiting emotion that is hard to describe. Whatever helps you, share it here, for me it is that kind of music :3

They are everywhere.

If you think older women won't test you and won't be an emotional rollercoaster at some point.

The very pursuit of pleasure makes everything far less pleasurable than when you're just experiencing it without any expectation. What is in you that is seeking pleasure, and why ? You don't need any pleasure in life when you're at peace, it's only a bonus.

Leo's job is to give you knowledge every week ...

What is life ?

Nothing, cause I had a bunch of those, and I'm clearly not enlightened.

He's either extremely shy, or not that interested. Either way, it's up to you to make things goes further, he won't do it

@Sevi Ok, but we'll have to kill your husband, I don't like making girls cheat on their boyfriend, that's mean

"It's ok if you're shy, I'll still ride you like a cowboy tonight, let's go !!!" Something funny that shows him you're ok if he's not ready right now, but that still shows you're super interested.
