  1. @ticaaaa OMG to be so young again. It’s rough but can be delicious. Keep the center. Keep you as the center. Notice when you are no longer grounded, calm, light / easy goin - that’s when you’ve “moved the center” to her. Meditate, get it back. All the love you could ever need is right inside you. She, is for fun. They’re all just for fun. Stay centered in everything you need you already are and always will be. Enjoy her, and the other girl, and the other girl, infinitty. This particular girl - have fun, leave the rest on the table. She needs to center herself too. She probably sends you pictures to get you interested again because she identifies with her looks. She is probably not aware of how she identifies, and that a lot of what she does is to get attention. She wants love. Who doesn’t. Discover the infinite love in you, and you can give it, all day long, and never feel slighted by anyone.
  2. @Charlotte Posture Meditation This body-based meditation is a very effective way to get grounded and centered. It encourages an embodied, calm, and open awareness, and discourages disassociation. If you have a tendency to "leave your body," feel ungrounded, or disassociated, this is a good practice. Sit with your spine straight and aligned, and the rest of your body relaxed. Keep bringing yourself back to this condition. 1. Take a reposed, seated posture. 2. For this meditation, it is very important that your spine is straight. Your neck and back should be in perfect alignment. Your chin should be down very slightly. 3. If you are sitting in a chair, do not rest your spine against the chair. Sit forward so that your spine is supporting its own weight. Let the muscles of the spine be engaged. 4. All the other muscles of your body can be completely relaxed. Allow your face muscles to let go, and your jaw to drop slightly, so that your teeth are not touching. 5. Let your shoulders hang freely, and let your belly be soft and open. 6. This is the posture you are aiming for, with your spine erect and your body completely relaxed. 7. As you sit, keep bringing your awareness back to the fine details of your posture. Notice any time your spine slumps even slightly, your head leans to either side, or any other deviation. Correct these gently and repeatedly. 8. Also notice if any other areas of your body tense up even slightly. If anything is tensing, relax it in a gently and soft manner. 9. Keep checking in with the body, using your body (somatic) awareness; the feeling in your body. Mental images of your body will probably arise, which is fine, but these are not what you are concentrating upon. Instead, concentrate your awareness in the sense of your body. The sensitivity in your muscles, tissues, viscera, skin, and so forth. 10. The more detailed and minute you get with this awareness, the better. Each tiny area of the body has its own sensitivity to contribute. 11. Every once in a while you can zoom out to cover the entire somatosensory field -- the awareness of your entire body -- to bring the overall body back into alignment. 12. Keep relaxing every muscle everywhere. Use just enough tension to keep your spine erect, but no more. 13. Continue this meditation for at least 10 minutes, continuously contacting your body awareness. CAUTIONS: If you have any spinal injuries or severe back pain, it is fine to allow your spine to rest in a pain-free position. If you find yourself distracted by a lot of mental chatter, you can use verbal labeling as an aid to concentration. For example, when checking on the spine, you can say to yourself, "spine in alignment." When checking on the body, say, "body relaxed."

  3. @IvanV21 Do you meditate every morning? Do you carry it through your day? Are you triggered much be the goings on of others? Those are the ‘signs’ imo. If / when you’re good there, take a trip. START SMALL. Slow & steady is best.
  4. Attention should be on what is wanted. Being against anything is just wasting time.
  5. @MarkusSweden You got it man. Duality is a pair of furry balls.
  6. @Saumaya We’re actually all in agreeance on solipsism denial. Lol.
  7. @Saumaya Aware this ‘christian’ is me, of course. Unless I wanted to contest myself, which would be ridiculous. This reminds me of that picture of a dress that trended a while back. People would swear the dress was white, others black. No self / The Self seems to work like that. One day a person experiences / realizes (whatever today’s word is lol) and they look at that same dress wondering how they ever saw it the way they used to. Same damn dress lol.
  8. If you know what you are existentially, and in simple terms you believe in yourself, it’s kind of an easy yes. No?
  9. @pluto This is easy for me to hear, not easy for everyone though. That ‘ego’ can run painfully deep, relative to where we’re coming from. Deepok talks in that manor, contracted and expanded awareness, right in tune with Leo’s last video Awareness alone is curative. Great stuff man.
  10. I know you don’t wanna hear it, and no need to reply...just a suggestion on trying some practices & psychedelics. Not tryin to be all up in yo stuff or anything. ? The truth is worthwhile. When I imagine if I would have lived this life without, it’s kinda heart breaking.
  11. @alyra Thought of you today....what if only some people died? That’d be much scarier.
  12. People claim all the time (on this forum) that they are enlightened, and or, their seeking has ended. The irony is obvious, right?
  13. ...and how would you know if this is true? Also, if you directly experience absolute, I can’t imagine you would refer to anything else as enlightenment. Furthermore, you’d never refer to yourself as enlightened. It would be nonsensical. It’s for ‘others’.
  14. @Neo. Psychedelics are like no other thing. I assume they are not like viagra and Valium. Of course you should try them, responsibly and safely. If you are seeking enlightenment, use any resource. Heed @Leo Gura‘s warning. Psychedelics are uncompromising. They’ll rip every concept right out of you. Start small. Slow & steady is best. Allow ample time for the insights to integrate. Good luck and have fun man! Don’t forget a report
