@SOUL ?

@PT89 They’re actually all right. All saying the same thing.

@Kevin Dunlop ❤️

@Ether Do 20 mins every morning. Increase it by 5 or 10 minutes as you’re comfortable, as you go. Get to an hr every morning, that’s pretty solid. Also, 5 minutes of quality meditation is better than 10 hours of poor quality. Ideally, imo, a second med in the afternoon, 20 minutes, is best.

@Vladimir I’ve experienced what I am. I’m freed. I’ve never experienced anything you said in your post. Just offering a personal testimony, in hopes It is useful. It’s hard for anyone to distinguish between God, ego, personality, etc. On top of that, all distinctions are relative to all experiences. Every word anyone (me too) says, is a one off, and a lie. Thinking doesn’t resolve thinking. So the only way is straight into yourself. Disregard everything everyone says. Do the practices every morning. Consider a trip. The truth is in you, and no where else. When you discovery what you are, you’ll be done with those distinctions. Godspeed man. It’s the most worthwhile endeavor. ❤️

@cle103 Thanks. One more thought...I’ve been an employer / hiring manger for over two decades now, and not once has a person ever just simply walked in and told me they want to work there and why.

@Shanmugam ??

@Shanmugam Posting this for feedback?

@Solvinden It’s your foundation. Discovering it isn’t as solid as needed. What do your morning rituals look like?

So the path to enlightenment is blocked for you, by fear. That’s a lie, you just haven’t realized it yet. Another perspective is, you are too lazy to do the practices, theory, etc. You are using fear as an excuse. But, the fear is nowhere. Try to point to it. See, it’s no where. It’s you! The fear, IS, you. It is not a second thing, that could come from somewhere else and harm you. It’s you. You’re already the fear. You and the fear are one thing, the fear is not a second thing. Seein what I’m saying?

@Aquarius Might be a different approach, but consider the perspective that the world appears to you exactly the way you think about yourself.

@Rinne You probably have lower blood pressure than most. A good thing imo.

What if your dream is not a job?

@PsiloPutty Wow can I relate to this. I tried A LOT. Here’s what I’ve found- He’s you anyways, so it doesn’t matter. Internally speaking, let it go. The name of the game for you, is acceptance. Total complete acceptance. This, like all things, is perfect as it is. Enjoy it as it is. He’s supposed to experience the life he is experiencing exactly how he is experiencing it. Something happened to him that, relative to his current consciousness, was not fair, and that shaped his view of himself and reality. For him, this is perpetuated with repetition; same environment, same people, same thoughts, same emotions - same conditioning. If there is anything you can do to help him, it’s getting him out of his environment for a day, or a few days. Get tickets to a speaker, or go camping for a couple days, something like that. Don’t expect this helps him a mile, expect an inch. Consciousness is a game of inches. (Psychedelics can move us miles, but he’s not ready for that).

@Sukhpaal I’m intrigued. I never had a fear of this, it seemed like a path of liberation and freedom. To me, you’re projecting fear on to something that is beautiful, and rewarding with every step. Can you talk more about the fear?

@Prabhaker Hi!❤️

@MarkusSweden no.

@grrmz Confusing because it sounds like you’re saying you’re with them, and then also saying not with them yet.....? Use simple scheduling. Block off a couple hours a day for practices, reading up. You mentioned depression....are you eating healthy, exercising? Listening to positive speakers on emotional intelligence? How old are you? Relationships come and go. The right habits rid you of depression, that’s for the duration. That’s more important right now. Do the work on yourself as the priority, so you can enjoy relationships.

@-Rowan There’s explanations in the beginning of each meditation that might be helpful. Also, click the link at the bottom. It’s a pretty decent resource with around 30 meditations.

@calibrate check this out. Short & sweet article. https://www.wearesalt.org/10-benefits-of-breathing-meditation/

@WildeChilde Sounds good to me.

@PT89 It’s illusionary man. You’re made of atoms. Kill an atom. See? Nothing.

For those who are more serious about waking up.

@SOUL no.
