The Mind Illuminated: A Complete Meditation Guide Integrating Buddhist Wisdom and Brain Science for Greater Mindfulness by John Yates This book is new this year and talk exactly about this and other very subtile traps in meditation. And it maps out the meditative evolution great. Probably the best book about meditation ever made. At least that I have come across. Cheers

Is Suicide The Fastest Way To Enlightenment? This question demands that you know what enlightenment is. And do you really? I think Suicice would be the ultimate egoic act in many ways.

Ramana said "Kill the mind not the body. The body is innocent."

The feeling dont have to be strong. It will get better with practice. Just regular love you feel from a family member or a pet. What works for me is thinking of my dog and using that sensation through practice.

Knowing can not be done with your mind. Your mind can only trust/ faith. There are only degrees of how much trust you put in beliefs. Great trust, great doubt.
