I'm not sure when I started meditating, probably nearly two months.
I don't do any specific technique, I just let go and focus my attention on my sensations (mostly breathing) and when I get the complete no chatter phase I turn my focus on nothing.
Actually I started to feel more relaxed and rational in my ordinary life. Also I started to have more control over my behaviors and decisions.
And yes I think that the mind is trying to push it's agenda. But at the same time I'm burning inside to get enlightened. I want to experience the truth that all of you folks talk about.
I appreciate your opinion.

Alright.
I've been meditating for a while, and also trying to get to enlightenment.
My problem is that it doesn't click.
Conceptually: I understand that I'm not my mind, nor my thoughts. I understand that I have no clue about me, nor about reality. I understand that I'm not the brain, nor the body. I am the observer of the observation aka consciousness.
So what am I and who am I? I still think of the answer conceptually, it doesn't work.
And in fact it's quite annoying that oneday I felt like I was about to get hit by the truth, it felt overwhelming, came from every corner, was about to hit me, then all of sudden disappeared and left me wandering.
What have I missed that day? And what am I missing all the way?
Please help.

The ego is not about hunger at all, it's all about greed.
And in fact your true self needs to survive for a purpose, just like your ego has to die for you to achieve your purpose.

Yes I think I need to do some long retreat, but it's not possible right now because I have my college and my job and I need money. As for conceptualizing everything, that's the only way I used to look at things through, it might take some time to break this addiction.
Psychedelics are not an option for me (at least right now), I want this process to happen naturally and I'm not in a rush, though I'm dying to know the Truth. Eventually I will use some of them, but for now I'm not ready yet.
Thank you Leo ?
Actually it doesn't work on me anymore, it used to work many times before because I was searching for how to become enlightened. Now I use to conceptualize the answer automatically. This situation sucks, but thanks anyways.
Okay thanks I'll try mindfulness meditation for a week and see the difference.
Every time I self-inquire I discover some new obstacles to knowing the Truth, it'll be useful to list them, so yeah I agree.
Most of my beliefs about reality have collapsed after I watched the "Self-Deception" series for Leo. Still I fall back from time to time, but generally I understand that it's just a deception, it's not real, it's only happening in my mind, which enlightened people say it doesn't even exist, and I can relate to that possibility too because I know there's no proof of the brains either. This series helped me to break many many addictions. It's good to know the Truth.
So I think it's a matter of time.
Thanks for your help ?
