Then what you call "higher consciousness" is a mental state of bliss where you're not human anymore (especially if you lost the ability to feel physical pain due to the damage of the body) . . . You can become that if you want, you can choose the middle way or you can go clubbing and working in the wall street . . . You do what works for you everything is fine as long as you know you're in a dreamlike reality or even without knowing that Ps : the "problem" exists only if you choose the path you dont feel genuinely

Deadly

Addictions are

And about that zen quote let me explain it . . . Before enlightenment chop wood carry water (you think you're john smith who's doing the work) After enlightenment chop wood and carry water (you know you're the universe/god playing as john smith doing the work). . . Becoming enlightened doesnt go against becoming a wall street broker . . . They can do it but they know its just a game so they decide not to spend 10 hours in a building full of meaningless numbers. . . So they become explorers of life itself and find the equilibrium between the less work needed to become financially independent and the maximum exploration they can afford with what they have earned.

If you're a western citizen of course it sounds strange , the collective unconscious doesnt let you abstain from sex or having a job, the indian culture is thousand years older from ours so even if you abstained from everyday life, sex, food, dont think it would end harming you?... But even for the asian citizens who didnt want to become a stone buddha, Gautama practiced the middle way. Fortunately there are many paths to enlightenment, why do you think is that so?

@Ayo you just won the internet with that profile picture

Why did you stop going at the gym?

30 min zazen daily

That place of the world is the epicenter of all western civilization and anyone knows that if got somekind of basic education . . . In the world we live in, the USA dictates most of the international politics and since you were born in a place hostile to them you suffer even from the satellite states. . . I dont know if Iran is a dictature like they say in the western news coz i dont believe the news but if somehow they dont allow their citizens to grow and have freedoms i think it needs to be overthrown. .. . Otherwise there's no sense to fight for being another USA satellite just for a better chance of a Visa or a can of coca cola. . . I know what dictatures do to people. . . Here in Albania we had one of the most brutal, worse than north korea and my parents are that live half of their life in there are still partially brainwashed. Fortunately i was born in the year the eastern bloc failed. . .

It means that the liquid bullshit its starting to get solid lol. . .

There are lots of cultures who believe in evil eye independent from each other. You can find that in latin america, africa, asia, middle east, central and western europe ect. The problem with it is that people give more credential that it needs to have. At max it could cause a headache or stomachache for an hour or two. It can be accepted if you could accept that two people interact in an energy level more than in the realm we see with our 5 senses. . . Anywayz if instruments that measure such energy interactions dont exists nobody could say for sure. . . Personally i believe it as a result of believing that the universe is spiritual and non mechanical.

The psyche is not under the obligation to live in time and space alone.

Or maybe there are infinite layers of psyche/soul/consciousness . . .@pluto @Highest

First of all who taught you that you must interact with every girl that passes by? Even if you did that probably 5% of them would hookup . . . . The problem is you're taking it personal . . . Just assure that everyday you get better than the day before in the direction you wanna go. . . If you took all the chicks what's left for us?

And this powerful one of Les Brown

I wanted to do the same after finishing engineering . .. . After some thinking i decided not to take a single step in an university anymore .. . . I just bought some book to read for myself . . . No pressure. .. university comes down to just studying for the passing grades.

i'm subscribed since 2015 on this dr axe but still dunno if he's legit . . .

Two years ago i went with my friends at the movies to see Roger Waters - The Wall. It was like 6 pm or something so we didnt drink or smoke anything. I remember i came directly from a 8 hours straight streak at the university and i had only a sandwich the whole day. I didnt even ordered popcorns or gassed drinks just a bottle of water. We take our seats and here we are. .. we were like 6-7 and in total 30-40 people no more. The movie begins but it wasnt a normal movie. It was a mix of narrated movie parts, filmed live performed songs of one of the best albums i've listened to in my life (pink floyd - the wall) . . . Psychedelic lights, animated parts and dialog. After one hour i forgot about my friends to the next seats, i forgot i was in a movie theatre, i wasnt watching or listening anymore. I was the movie, i was the music and i felt a strange energy in me like i was resonating 100% with that moment, i was feeling just like in the movie and when the singing parts kicked in i wasnt feeling love, i was love. . . It was exactly like making love to a girl you love . . . I cant explain it by mere text not to mention english isnt even my first language. . . So i felt like this til the end of the movie. When it ended and lights came up my ego came back to . . . Anyway i felt great for days and til that day i could not feel the same. . . I think being enlightened means to feel like that every single day, hour, minute. What is for you enlightenment? Have you ever had a similar story im curious to know . . . ?

@Nahm what do you mean?

First they play the role of prey and predator then the mouse senses the snake is about to eat it. How can that happen? Only if they're part of the same consciousness so they realise that and love each other. At least thats what i understood from that. . .

I got an easier one, goat milk kefir + honey + chia and flax seeds + half banana + a pinch of cinnamon . . . Sometimes i add here a scoop of golden whey protein before hitting the gym

The most spiritual people i've known are professors and science teachers in high school and i studied electronics. . . I still remember my high school chemistry teacher say that the human body and consciousness are miracles in itself that we take for granted. The problem with mainstream science is that they take small steps because they risk getting denigrated by their own community so the methodology is fucked up. . .. but the people that are in there are most fascinating minds you can find

First of all dont mix your personal relationships with your growth. You're complete by yourself. As i see it you need to take some actions. Watch all the videos of leo in the "mastering emotions" playlist and you could start meditating in a daily basis.
