Are you awake?

You’re always mentioning meditation haha. Is there a specific method of meditation you recommend or just any kind?

True. Just look how many Marvel movies there are. And movie remakes and sequels and prequels and sequels to remakes. It’s endless.

Do you think you will pioneer a Love = Self movement? It seems to me that the majority of seekers still believe that Self is Self is Self.

What do you personally use to make a dream board? A big white board on the wall? A physical notebook? A mobile app?

I mean that if someone goes into this work and think that “they” will still be the doer and that any problem “they” run into will magically have a logical solution. And of course fear is a big one. It’s a fear that “I” will lose control, even though my need for control is what’s creating suffering all along.

Just make sure to avoid to word “raspberry”

Have you tried psychoanalysis? @winterknight recommends it and I will be seeing one soon because of him (: Also, it is great that you realized that enlightenment won’t solve all your problems. I think a lot of people get into enlightenment because they want to just get rid of all their deep rooted emotional problems without having to face them head on.

@Leo Gura Have you personally noticed a down hill yet? Since you’re over 30 hehe.

That’s why they say “do you want something bad enough?” or “how badly do you want it?”

Who told you that “just realizing that we are all one” is the highest and only thing to realize?

Or they don’t. One must really ask themself “what is a mental illness” and “who is defining and believing what a mental illness is”

@Schahin Do humans exist?

My problem exactly. There’s a “me” trying to do self-inquiry correctly.

Don’t put Winter Knight as his name guys! His real name is Akilesh Ayyar

Steve Jobs’ last words were “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” Reading this article, it seems that he was in complete acceptance of his death and that he was marveled by it. If you read about Steve Jobs, it was said that he traveled to India in search for spiritual enlightenment a couple years before founding Apple. I’d say that’s pretty damn cool.

Why is society setup such that crying (at least in public) is seen as a weakness? Why are we placed into jobs that make us lose our creativity and passion? Does the universe want to experience this for a while until society is ready to wake up? Do I as an individual need to wait for society to wake up before I can fully be comfortable with myself?

@Chi_ Wow, he really was ahead of his time. He pushed mankind forward with this wisdom by his side. Legendary.

@Finland3286 How about not making up a story about what it is and directly becoming conscious of it, yes?

@mkrksms Were you tripping by yourself or with others? It might be good to have a high quality trip sitter if you are not experienced.

When I am deep in self-inquiry or meditation, a memory of a dream I had god knows when just pops up. I never thought I’d ever be able to remember it ever again, but I do. Have you experienced such phenomena? Is there an explanation for this?

I’ve had a few glimpses of various degrees. I’m still in the process of “spiritually purifying” myself, as Leo would say.

I feel like reading this damn post was a trip in and of itself (no pun intended x2) In all seriousness, though, name me ONE “spiritual master” who has not had these doubts, fears, tribulations, whatever you want to call them. And those so called “carefree people” like the ones living it up at the shopping malls and amusement parks, and the ones partying it up in Vegas (I’m looking at you Leo), do you think they don’t have any doubts either?

Well... another way you can look at it is asking yourself the good ol’ cliched question of: “who are you?” And, yes, that statement you are skeptical about may or may not be true. Like how it may or may not be true that you’re reading this sentence right now. For sure. I’m blessed to have even discovered this path. I’m sure Leo is too. And you. And my next door neighbor. I feel a greater sense of hope for humanity because there is no curse to be found unless I want there to be.

I can relate to this (diagnosed w/ OCD and anxiety disorders). It’s symbolic in that, whilst trying to obsessively find a solution to things; also worrying endlessly about a future scenario, there is no satisfying answer or result to be found. If there is such a thing, it only satisfies temporarily. Honestly, I think people with these conditions are very intuitive and have a lot to contribute to society just by our very nature... it’s just that current societal norms and ways of living don’t bother trying to discover our potential.
