One Month Solo Retreat

12 posts in this topic

Aside from work and some (real) urgent errands, I will start a solo retreat this month.

No TV/Video games/partying/girlfriend/friends/books, no nothing.

The only exceptions are 1h of music, and that's only because I listen to binaural beats and ambient music, which is calm and peacefull, meditative kind of music.
This and 1 hour of videos and reading (concerning non-duality/consciousness).

Obviously taking a walk and relaxing in nature is allowed too.

Oh, and watching this video before and after work :3

Feel free to join me (that's kind the point of the post xD ), just do it for one week if one month seems too much, it will already be challenging enough :)

@Shin Love it Shin!

If I can add something, presume that everyone at work is your spiritual master, you have missed their lessons thus far. 

 

 

It will not be a challenge.

Pursuing my desires and goals, through the constant bombardment of technology, is a challenge.

You will be free.

You may want to take a selfie first, just as a souvenir.

@Shin This is how it is here pretty much already  - gradually merging into a sage-like lifestyle. Ditched TV and phone a few months ago and working on simplifying my life even more. I love peace, serenity, solitude, and simplicity of Being. Life is sweet.

Enjoy your retreat :)

Also, you're still going to work? 

No.
Yes.

@Shin I was going to critique your entire endeavor because I see gaping holes in the logic of it's execution.

But fuck it - experience will be a far better teacher. I genuinely hope you have fun and learn a lot, whatever happens. I'm interested to hear of your insights after the month of "retreat" is over.

@TJ Reeves

Ram Dass tells a story about the time he had well thought out retreat planned in the mountains somewhere in India.  He planned to put everything into it and get as 'high' as he could. He had visions of maybe hanging out on some astral plane with the likes of Baba ji, Christ, Buddha. He told his guru about his plans expecting the guru would be pleased by his effort. But instead his guru just looked at him and said 'Whatever you desire'.

@Shin Start with 1 week, or you'll be failing worse than your buddy LaBeouf ;)

Talk is cheap

 


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
