  1. @Swagala Excellent. The repetitions unravel. For some folks, that means some suppressed stuff is going to bubble up. Stomach breathing attention really shines there. But, yes. Letting every mental occurrence go, the eggs are surrendered for being the goose. Paradoxically, I’d love to hear more from you as you go deeper with this. You are right on.
  2. (In the US) You can create an LLC online, file it with the IRS and take the paperwork they mail you to a credit union or bank and open a business account, then link it to your paypal.
  3. @Nathan leigh Ok. Then I’d say supporting yourself is immediate. Ideally with what you’re passionate about, what you want to pursue. If you don’t know what that is, use methods of discovery like the LP course. Or start as simply as writing down a list of what you know you don’t want, so reveal some framework or shed some light on what you do want.
  4. @SQAAD It’s just not possible to explain to you the degree to which what is for you is a one off situation.
  5. @Nathan leigh So, as far as immediacy, sounds like finishing high school...?
  6. @Serotoninluv Awesome. Put that cowbell on the ox so you can hear him comin a mile away.
  7. @Enlightenment Right, but what it being transcended?
  8. Some people choose to be homeless. It’s really up to you.
  9. @onacloudynight Hard to say. But still, after they ‘kick you out’, just meditate. Still not seeing your problem.
  10. @tecladocasio ?? What is the significance of that apparent difference though? That there is no direct experience of a “prior to” the thought experienced - yet some scientific experiments implicate that there is. That there is no experience of thoughts moving the leg muscles, yet in the study of a brain and body, again some scientific experiments implicate that there is. The choice, “I’ll go for a walk now”, or “I’ll make some tea now”...what does the actuality here really reveal? ......”Why you’re not the brain”...?
  11. @tecladocasio What about language? I understand the experience of thoughts arising, and then those thoughts being expressed linguistically. But do you experience a different type of thought - a thought prior to those thoughts which get expressed?
  12. @Enlightenment If you don’t mind me asking...transcendental of what?
  13. I’m understanding you more, but I still don’t have clarity on your experience. You are saying these thoughts which move all the muscles of the legs when you walk “are experiences” , or that you directly experience those thoughts? What are those leg movement directive thoughts like? Can you compare them, or describe your experience of them a little?
  14. @tecladocasio I’m understanding the logical aspect of what you’re saying... Are you aware of, or, directly experiencing these thoughts which move the legs? Or the thoughts which ‘structure the symbols of language’? When you said the ‘walking thoughts’ are “almost unconscious”...you are saying you are conscious of these particular thoughts?
  15. @onacloudynight What’s the problem exactly. Just sit and meditate then.
  16. @tecladocasio Thanks for the explanation. Might be understanding you, not entirely sure. These thoughts which move the thigh, knee, calf, ankles, etc, while walking...you experience these thoughts directly? If so, could you explain, and draw some distinctions between the “walking thoughts”, and say an arising “tea sounds good” thought?
  17. @tecladocasio Sorry, not understanding what you’re saying there. If you could maybe quote my post again and pick it apart / point out what you’re saying, that’d be helpful. Thanks.
  18. Can you elaborate? (If you meant that humorously, I hear ya and it’s hilarious)
  19. @Cody_Atzori There is awareness of thinking. There is not thinking of awareness. There is awareness of these words. These words can not explain that awareness. My brain controls my body, Look more closely. The body is doing countless nuanced movements through out the day, which you have no thought prior to or during. Watch your fingers type as you express thoughts. Notice there are no thoughts directing the fingers to individual letters. Notice while walking, there is no directive thoughts saying “more this foot”, “now lift this foot”, etc. The brain does not control the body. “You” are maintaining individuality, separate self, by taking credit for what the body is doing - via the excuse of “my brain”. my brain experiences life, You experience an outer and inner world via the duality of the prior mentioned brain belief / defense mech’s. There are not inner and outer worlds. If there were, you would be the ‘divider’ of the two (dual). “You” as the “divider” is a thought. Look hard for evidence to realize the humility of this. Notice you have been perceiving through division your entire life. Begin to see inclusively, radically. my brain is the centre of all experience, Are you aware of thoughts? Is the experience an ever-unchanging thought, thinking an awareness which comes and goes & changes? Or is the experience unchanging awareness, aware of thoughts which are always changing, always coming & going? my brain is me, right? Is that a thought?
  20. @CreamCat Hi, and welcome to the fiction. ♥️ Hip yet to the intelligence at play?
