Ether

@Ilya Opinions\thoughts have no importance unless you give them that importance, which you did. They literally cannot exist without your attention and energy. Give them no attention.

Enlightnment

@Nahm Thank you @Zephyr Took me a while. 5 months

Not completly silent, but silent enough. Meditated for 33 minu8tes and that was the result. Ima try to meditate for 35 min, every time i meditate. Just wanted to share with yall

You can still have high consciouness while doing those things you stoopped doing. They dont raise your consciouness down Lmao

@Max_V I know i know

I used to have it and it was my thoughts.

@phoenix666 Thats how i beat my social anxiety\anxiety. They always go

Just meditated for 33, still not silent mind

Lmao

@Deep You might not be aware but there is a much quicker way to enlightnment. Disbelieving thoughts.

@Leo Gura How is a retreat like?

@Leo Gura Im not into drugs, hopefully never will be. Im in school, dont have time for retreats.

@cetus56 I meditate for 20 minutes, and the mind is just as it is when i begin meditating, but this might be because i give my thoughts no attention all day. THere is not one day where i dont give them no attention.

I have made progress in time i have been meditating

But it will go down. I can almost guarantee that

Happiness is the absence of suffering Lmao

Pain is physical pain. Suffering is emotional pain. And i agree with the poster above

Real things - 5 senses and experience Not real things - imagination, thoughts

@AleksM Trust me i have expanded my awareness. I have been giving thoughts no attention 24\7 for a year now. Not controling, no manipulating. Pure mindfulness. I meditate for 20 minutes and i still have thoughts. Its whathever. Maybe its because i make a goal of a silent mind?

No, thats a fact. They just call it a theory

Man. Nobody knows but the person itself.

Nah, that is just a theory

I never eat tomatoes, not even in hamburguers hahaha

Why spend years on meditation, and that the outcome you want isnt even guaranteed anyway (but nothing is) when you can take a much quicker effort? I basicly disbelieved all the thoughts that were bothering me in 4 months (but it could have been faster). How? Analyse and eximine the thought you have. For example. Ask your mind questions, get the thought and examine it. THats it. And your guide can be Noah Elkrief. I learned everything from him and mostly by my mentor (who learned from him. Here is a couple videos from him: Here, at 33 minutes he gives you some questions to disbelieve your self image\ego. Leo, this for you too. H
