@Phill what do you want, and what are the resistant thoughts you have against what you want? Also, are you aware, marijuana, especially very potent, is associated most often with DP? Typically that, or a past trauma. Also, if you were doing great, happy, etc - and meditation flipped that upside down, why are you meditating in the first place?

@Scarecrow ?

@LRyan sorry to hear of your moms condition. try just getting back to daily meditation. it might help you get that ‘space’ back. if we are breathing, we can sit and be alone. and theres the healing.

@SOUL thats beautiful. the middle way certainly loops in full circle over and over. ime

@egoless people fail, people succeed, people are miserable, people are happy. what do you want? that’s most relative. no?

@BjarkeT Whats wrong with the scientific way of understanding the universe? And materialism? it’s that science is a miniscule aspect. consider everything (arguably) the scientists are using is powered by electrcity, and likely, none of them know what electrcity is. it’s similar to pointing to your body saying ‘me’, while not knowing what you are.

@rogi 97 me too

@SOUL he went within to find a way without suffering and came out with something to say about suffering being within.

@BjarkeT You are the evidence, you are the Truth, you are nondual. You are The One. You are the reality. You can’t see it or hear it or learn it or find it, because, it’s you.

@BjarkeT you are the evidence.

@SOUL awakened is to see that you are reality, and all atoms are illusion. The middle way was the first thing the Buddha talked about upon awaking, and it is relative to desire and gratification / endulgence. It was not intended as literal verbiage, it is advice on living life as a human, to humans who were not as serious as Sidhartha relative to the pursuit of what they themselves are.

@BjarkeT what’s ‘wrong’ with it is that it’s based on a misunderstanding (putting it nicely) of what you are, which alone is the root of suffering. Without the misunderstanding, no suffering.

@TriteNTrue you’d have to be radically open minded so you can lose your mind. learning, learning, learning....what the FUCK?!!! The whole thing and “me” are illusion?!?!...being, being, being....

Someday, parents will not tell their kids the story of heaven and hell.

@SOUL glass and sand are made of atoms, which are empty because they are illusion, and yet whole because they are you. Since you are made of atoms, which are also nothing, the question is, what are you.

@The White Belt I figured. Just havin some fun of course. Thanks!

@Faceless ?? He went within.

@Faceless you’re looking without, look within. The answer you want to hear, is silence. I wanted to hear it too. ❤️

@Alien the question already imposed a separation.

@Richard Alpert All is well. He is doing for “religion” what Trump is doing for equality. Not that they realize this.

@Nexeternity @Lauritz ❤️?

You’re not naive. 99.999999% of the population, not asking questions like this, that’s naive.

@AleksM awesome. @The White Belt On the physical side, let life go through you. Relax the body all the time till it’s the default, then relax deeper, all the time. Stomach breathing, all the time. Let what’s happening, in your total awareness, the whole room & every sound - flow through your whole body. No blockages at all. Not picking a thought and stopping it, not one, or any, all just happening and flowing through you. I had that same thing going on for a while. Not the Kung fu level you’re having to contend with, but still. (“The White Belt” ?...?). I think the wisdom / profound thoughts you mentioned will come more frequently, and more deeply, and the jujitsu will stop, and eventually you’ll see profoundity in everything. I thought I had to work on capacity as in, everyday, I was crying & laughing, joyfully, but it got to a point that I needed to kinda say ok, still gotta maintain, you know? “Working on capacity” was blockage in it’self I found. Everything always flowing through you, through no you, no blockage at all, no resistence, I’m finding, that’s working great. I’m able to be more effective, with a higher vibe / flow state than before, without the waterworks. I think the waterworks, and the Taekwondo are categorically blockage / blockage reaction. ??✋✊?

@egoless you’ll have one that transcends physical. You’ll be like, what?! I get to know this now, see this now, and still live out this “life”?! It is like winning the lottery of reality.

@ZX_man absolutely. You still are, now. You’re just a few seconds faster than it, cause it’s that unconditional.
