List of Self Inquiry Insights after 14 days !!!

[Moritz]

Hey guys,
so I´ve been doing Self Inquiry for about 14 days now and today has been one of the most insightfull days so I thought I´d share some of those and all the other insights of the previous days with you. 
I hope this leads to some interesting conversations, discussions as well as advice. 
So without further or do let´s get into the list.

1. A lack of conciousness is part of the reason why we struggle so much with our "petty problems". As long as there´s no underlying foundation of pure conciousness we´re disconnected from an essential part of our true nature and therefore get los in "b*****t".

2. Man is a machine without "free will". We´re like these puppets of our thoughts, emotions, desires, cravings and aversions. Becoming aware of this is essential. Otherwise we´re fooling ourselves thinking that we´re in control and have free will.

3. The self is ultimately insecure at it´s core because we/it know that it´s not the "real deal". 

4. We suffer because of deep identification and attachment. It makes us ping pong balls of all our thoughts and emotions. We´re at the mercy of all of this if we think this is who we are.

5. Understanding the construct and mechanics of the self is essential for deconstruction of the self therefore contemplation of all these components as well as the whole of existence is essential in this work.

6. Trying to prove in the blink of an eye that the self doesn´t exist or is an illusion is useless. Rather understand what the self really is, where it comes from etc. Sort of attacking the beast, approaching the problem from many different angles.

7. Insights can have different degrees of comprehension. Different stages of ripeness. 

8. The energybody (chakras) respond to deep contemplation and deconstrution of the self. For example yesterday I got into a really intense flow of contemplation. I was in such intense concentration. I think something was dissolving. My third eye chakra/pineal gland was intensely pulsing all over my forehead the whole time.

9. There always hints of what you´re looking for. Feel them, become aware of them.

10. The idea of Self is so genius that it fools everybody. But really it´s not genius. It doesn´t have to be. It´s rather bold about it´s obviousness.

11. The mind distracts itself from truth to preserve itself.

12. The point where the Self started is difficult to find. Meaning if you contemplate about it you can´t really say that at this age in your life you´ve started exist. 

13. There´s is no point in space where you, the I, the Self, exists.

14. You are not the doer. There´s just what is happening.

15. The map is not the territory meaning that in theory you think you know where this process leads to but in reality these are only beliefs and thoughts.

16. The more insights you have the more you crack open and start to shake the old structures.

17. The map is not the territory meaning that in theory you think you know where this process leads to but in reality these are only beliefs and thoughts.

18. The Self isn´t wrong. It´s just not who you really are. So don´t let this process into Self Hate. 

19. Since birth you´ve been feed with all sorts of beliefs, ideas and theories about how the world works. You´ve never questioned these. It isn´t true at all but it´s the filter through which you perceive reality. Become aware of what those are. Personally I haven´t become aware of them. I´ve just become aware of the fact that those things are there.

20. You need to work on your emotions and your personality (patterns, traumas, shadows etc. & purpose, relashionships, authenticity, finances), your physical body (nutrition, excercise, yoga etc.), contemplating reality (self inquiry). All of this contributes to your well being and overall opens you up more and more energetically, increases your frequency etc. thus helps you to realize your True Existential Nature. But of course don´t get lost in endless outer ego driven pursuits.

21. I alwas thought I´m very, very, very smart and that I know alot about the world. Fundamentally that is nonsense. In a way I´m just as unconcious as every unconcious person I´ve ever criticized. Realizing my ignorance put a smile on my face. It´s just so funny how my mind is fooling itself. 

22. Through trauma energy in our body freezes. We become stuck in the mind and start to just perceive overcompulsevely through it. The truth of our being can´t shine through. So dissolving these traumas and opening ourselves up more increases our awareness to direct experience. This helps to dissect reality.

I hope some of those insights are of help to you. 
Do have more ideas what to question ? 
Any tips ?

Much Love,
Moritz

thx so much for the love and appreciation !  

another insight would be that you can´t force this whole process giving it space, presence and allowing it is the most important thing.
