@Leo-Tzu Brilliant. Bill Hicks too. Hoping Jim Carrey follows suit on the ‘truth’ comedy.

@Brsczkv I think this is a very wise thing to realize and question and you should consider building a foundation with practices and venture into psychedelics, and if interested, listen to some Abe hicks and see if your answers to this category come from within you.

@rorghee After a year and a half of meditation, you should be in love with it. Try simply returning your focus to breathing from your stomach.

@Shakazulu It’s possible but a mix of practices is more reliable. The runner’s high is nice though.

Doing even a little bit, right now, of what you love and really want to be doing, is better than the best ideas of what you could do. It gets the ball rolling.

@BobbyLowell In my estimation unconditional love is the source of all of us, everything else is attaching to a thought relative to the self/person. Deducing if everyone can be loved will only ever be a thought, self inquiry to one’s own unconditional love is a worthwhile experience and the gift that keeps on giving. ❤️

@Dan Arnautu People assimilate and integrate & implement at different speeds.

@Leo Gura it’s optional with an on off radial in notification settings.

@rorghee May I ask, what are you actually doing in your meditation?

@Flora1437 Imo, self inquiry and “reality” inquiry compliment each other well. I found breakthroughs from doing both; meditation to go deeper within and asking what am I - learning about superposition, quantum erasure, schrodinger’s cat / uncertainty principle and entanglement to open up my mind on what ‘outside reality’ is and what is “my” relationship with it. Though this is not what is traditionally meant by self inquiry, it was useful in revealing the facets of the illusion, and what I am.

@h inandout My wife and I did this sort of exercise thing for a while where we weren’t ‘allowed’ to apologize for anything we said to each other. It was very interesting. We realized apologies were all to freeing, and being ‘stuck’ with what you said was interesting. @Nexeternity I think you’re awesome and I love your contributions and I am a selfish ass as well.

@tatsumaru “The subtlest level of mental activity (mind), which continues with no beginning and no end, without any break, even during death and even into Buddhahood. It is individual and constitutes the mental continuum of each being. It is naturally free of conceptual cognition, the appearance-making of true existence, and grasping for true existence, since it is more subtle than the grosser levels of mental activity with which these occur. It has nothing to do with “light.” (Alexander, Berzin. Berzin Archives Glossary.) Take a look at the above picture. It is meant to be a depiction of clear light as a pale moon. What you actually see is yellowish-white light surrounded by fields of blue. Metaphorically, clear light is the ambient light that you are looking through when you read these words. It is the medium, the matrix, which makes the perception of any frequency of light possible. It is formless, yet existing. As such, it is also a metaphor for causal, “empty,” or high transpersonal consciousness. It is most closely associated with the “way of the sages,” in contrast to the lower transpersonal “way of the yogis,” or the middle transpersonal “way of the saints.” Another way of understanding the clear light is to think of a prism: White light goes in one side and through refraction is split into a continuum of frequencies or vibratory wavelengths that we call “colors.” But white is a color too – the combination of all colors. The clarity of the colors emitted from a prism is dependent on the clarity and intensity of both the incoming white light and the clarity of the prism. The prism itself is not white light. It is clear light. Similarly, if white light is for the moment taken to be analogous to subtle, dream, or bardo consciousness, then the degree to which it is subjected to clear light determines the clarity of the resultant manifestation, or incarnation in matter. The implications for the evolution of our consciousness are that if we desire to live in harmony with life we need to focus on those qualities of consciousness that are analogous to both pure, intense white light and clear light itself. If prismatic white light is analogous to intense, focused alignment with spirit, then the clear light of the prism itself is analogous to self-transcendent, fully open, integrated emptiness. The goal is to maximize both of these states not only while awake, but while dreaming and in deep sleep. Beyond that, we need to balance the frequency output – the “colors” of the spectrum of our lines of development – through the development and maintenance of an ongoing Integral Life Practice. Intense, focused white light is your waking intent aligned with the intentions of life dreaming you. The perfect prism is your purified, clear, enlightened mind. The perfect spectrum is your healthy, balanced, and transforming life. http://www.dreamyoga.com/what-is-clear-light/

@tatsumaru Maybe there’s no objective reality and neither have a grip on anything. Maybe we’re all One schizophrenic.

@Joseph Maynor I don’t think awareness, in the manor you’re stating, is out of our control. I think sleep, diet, exercise, meditation, self inquiry and mindfulness are ‘behind’ it. And allowing time for momentum to change.

@George Fil Maybe try meditating in the morning. Hopefully it brings a more non-attached day, and the numbers don’t pile up. On the other hand, maybe one of these nights, you wake up and pull a Will Hunting. I’d hate to thwart that. Maybe write some unresolved equations on the board, and look at em as you doze off.

@Joseph Maynor I hear you on this. I can relate. I’ve found there is no muse, nor an entity to channel, and diet & exercise released the un-resistance.

I think it’s better as it is. There’s more data to allow a broader view and more nuanced observation. When a response has more ‘likes’, and it’s not how I see things, it helps me really slow down and consider what’s being said. Also, there is an overwhelming amount of information and human resource (users) available on this forum - when I was a brand new user, the total points and ratio of posts/points, was very useful and eye opening. When I’ve said something I thought was true, and then someone says otherwise, and it gets a lot of ‘likes’, it helped me uncover my own beliefs. I don’t think I could put a price on that - I didn’t even know I was stubborn. I think the posts that turn into ego battles would actually increase not decrease because a user wouldn’t have the “long term record” of ratio showing. Truth be told, I like the ego battles because those are some of the most significant breakthroughs, when the smoke clears. Plus their entertaining and sometimes even exciting.

@emind I feel like you’ve got the body and mostly mind solid from meditation & si, and that the unpleasant factor comes from holding onto some beliefs that the truth you’re experiencing is contending with.

Playing with my kids, fitness, boxing, biking, time in nature, time alone, charity events, writing,”channeling”, guitar & singing, learning, investing, new tech, finding efficiencies, seeing other countries, the practices, laughing with my wife about anything, being encouraging, dissapearing, reading, problem solving, loa, drawing, painting, sex.

@expeditus Set a mindset of what you’re looking for - how it’s useful to you, how it’s applicable to your life - what’s around you right now, then watch it. He, like everyone, are literally only talking to you. That’s you, talking to you.

@Spiral Zoom out a little and try to see that it is them who need you. Express some of the PD you’ve done, and some of your ‘life plan’. If they have franchises, tell them your open about starting at zero and learning and working your way to owning one. Tell them you’re super excited to use what you’ve learned in your family business out on your own. Research the website before the interview, show you took the time to learn about the company without being pretentious. Introduce yourself casually to each employee you see what you get there. Eye contact, genuine vibe, shake hands. Also, they’re probably used to interviewing the average yout with their head up their ass, who doesn’t even think about improving their self, who slept through school, while you ‘ran a proper company’.

@sgn The more you do, the more it comes into focus, cause it’s coming from preference; what you don’t want, and therefore more of what you do want. Try to exit the ‘one thing’ thinking. Small things will add up to big things, to aha moments that reveal the perfect sense of why you did what you did, because it lead to this & that. Maybe get certified in Reiki for example. Help people heal themselves. You’ll surely meet like minded people, and that can take you anywhere.
