    @vibv I remember how much the existence can hurt. 

    And I don't think its perfect when people behead babies.

    Its a shrug of responsibility for another.

    As people doing consciousness work we must also develop compassion towards the suffering.

    Perfect and imperfect are concepts of the mind. Reality is neither. 

    @Max1993 Agree. I had enough of his teachings though. I didn't seek to be happy but to be free.

    Freedom fills way better than happiness. Its chill. Quite. Expansive. And real.

    @Max1993 I really enjoyed reading.

    The big bang is a mind made worldview and as long as you are aware of that this is a very nice story to demonstrate that we have no free will.

    Yet the concept "No free will" is still a mind made entity which too dissolves.

    When Mooji was asked the question of free will he answered:

    "Its both a yes and a no."

    I think the correct answer will be "

    "It's neither."

    Suffering was what drove me most of all towards enlightenment.

    The buddha was said to seek the end of suffering.

    I can say from first hand experience that suffering can end.

    Because what suffers dose not exist.

    And what remains?

    It can and has been called many names.

    I prefer "Being".

    Leo calls it "Consciousness".

    Mooji calls it "Awareness" .

    You can call it what you want as long as it unifies and applies to all of experience. 

    I don't talk about my awakenings much with anyone so I felt like sharing it here since I feel at home with other seekers.

    @Demeter The void puzzled me a lot and still does.

    How I got to thinking about it was one night when I sat and listened to trance music focusing on the silence between each kick.

    I have intuited the existence of the void by realizing where all experience comes form and where it ends.

    Before your birth - void

    After death - void

    And so with every experience in between the two. It materializes out of the void and goes back to it.

    But since itself the void is not an experience I cant say that I have direct knowledge of it only conceptual and through comparing it to my "nothingness" awakening.

    Yet I am certain that the void which comes after death is followed by another arising (whatever form it might take) since the possibility for such arising

    was already established through the very fact of your life emerging from the void that came before it.

    And even if you spend millions of years in that void before another experience comes, for you it will feel like a fluid continuation from the moment

    you died.

    From what I came to see the void as even god dose not persist in it.

    That is what baffles me.

    Have a great day!

    Daniel.

    Other entities can never be proven since you are forever locked in to your own experience bubble.

    Through the mind that is.

    Yet if you listen to your heart instead of the mind,

    You can start to see that its a whole new avenue of knowledge.

    You can feel that there are other sentient beings , not know , feel.

    So if I follow my heart I can definitely say that there are other sentient creatures.

    Just a point to think (or rather feel) about.

    Namaste :)

    The bodhisattva is said to be an entity that almost gets to enlightenment,

    yet he doesn't go all the way and postpones his/her enlightenment until all beings are awake.

    In Buddhism it is held as the highest path one could take.

    But I beg to differ.

    There is no rush.

    If an entity has suffered enough it will awaken eventually.

    It is nobodies job to awaken all sentient beings, and thinking you can is arrogance.

    I am not against teaching, it can be a form of love.

    But coming at it with the mindset that you should forsaken your own enlightenment for the sake of others is just spiritual none-sense.

     Buddhism is a beautiful religion, but the bodhisattva ideal is flawed and I think it is a big trap.

    (Into which I have almost fallen myself)

    I wanted to end with J.R.R. Tolkien's poem:

    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”

    @AlexNonymous6 Thank you for sharing I appreciate it a lot.

    Your intention is my intention as well.

    But I go with the Hinayana view which is:

    The small vehicle , I will try to spread consciousness and enlightenment to my immediate surroundings.

    I don't think it's a game of number (how many entities you help reach the end of the path).

    If each of us will help his natural environment without going out of the way to create cults or become a worldwide known guru,

    all will be enlightened.

    Enlightenment is possible for everyone but not all are ready.

    And god has infinite time to wait for those who are not yet ready.

    If your will to help global enlightenment is rooted in love it is a positive thing and I wont discourage you from helping that. Not one bit.

     

    Namaste :)

    So I wanted to share my favorite practice and the one that got me the most results:

    Just sit.

    No rules. No aim. No limitations.

    Sit somewhere you are comfortable and set a timer for as long as you feel like.

    And for that time all you have to do, is to be alone with yourself.

    The inquiry will happen naturally.

    Sometimes it wont. But that's ok.

    Sometimes you will just sit with monkey mind and it will feel like you are not making any progress.

    Let it be.

    Because at other times what I found out is: The inquiry will happen of itself.

    Because you are curious about some things.

    The more you do it the more it becomes like a spontaneous meditation, but without the intention to be so.

    My deepest insights came from this kind of practice ,

    and that is why I wanted to share it with you.

    Namaste :)

    1 hour ago, PlayOnWords said:

    I don't think so. Maybe sometimes..

    It is simply your sense of the subject of the experience.

    For me it materialized a a feeling of a pressure behind the eyes.

    Like the nexus of the experience you are currently having.

    When you get mad. It is the ego that is mad. When someone hurts your feelings it is the ego that gets hurt.

    Try to feel what it is like to be you. In a shallow sense . Don't go too deep.

    I think that if you contemplate this you will see that you can be aware of the ego.

    You can't solve a problem which you are not aware of.

    That is why I think it is important to be clear with yourself what the ego is.

    Before you are going to transcend it :)

    Let me know if it helped or you need a clearer pointing's.

    Namaste :)

    In this analogy the ego is a star.

    When it's death approaches it crumbles under its own weight and collapses into a black hole.

    (in this analogy it doesn't have to be big enough like in cosmology)

    This black hole is a portal for other entities through which they can leave samsara.

    This is why most enlightened beings begin teaching when they have reached nirvana.

    And this is the power that draws spiritual seeker towards them.

    Have a good day.

    Namaste :)

    @davecraw I liked your post a lot.

    But I still think that the fact that there is someone with an experience just like mine is a belief and will forever stay a belief.

    Since I take as evidence only my direct experience.

    A thought came up as I read this thread:

    If god would have wanted for himself to only experience unity as one being he would have not created this illusion.

    Thus if he already created 'manyness' it must be that there are many experiences.

    Just a thought.

    Namaste :)

    @Michal__ I smoke joint's from time to time :)

    I found out that contemplating on weed is actually very powerful.

    Especially sativa.

    @001 I can share what I find enjoyable about it:

    The exhaling of smoke. I like seeing smoke come out of me like I am releasing something beautiful into this world.

    The feeling of a "bite" in my lungs.

    It gives me a chill vibe. The slow exhalation can be a part of it.

    Namaste :)
