Easy enlightenment ! Flawless Self-inquiry !

22 posts in this topic

You need to be able to feel your body from the inside out.

You need to be able to be detached from your thoughts and mind.

 

Say internally: I'm not the body while sensing it fully, then continue to sense it for 3 seconds.

Then say internally: I'm not the mind while witnessing this thought and your mind, then continue to witness the blank mind for 3 seconds.

Then say internally: So what am I ?

THEN DON'T DO ANYTHING !

Don't try to get it, don't sense or witness anything on particular !

Wait for 5 seconds, then start again ...

@Shin How does saying "Im not the body"  help, if I dont experience that statement. For me that sounds like buying a new belief and then going on from that. 

Wouldnt ASKING "Am i the body?" and then checking it for yourself (is the body the primary and first experience?  Does the body know me or do I know the body?) be a more direct course of inquiry?

It might be a great self enquiry if you've already answered your questions in the past?

 

Like... you've already had the Freemasons ceremony,  now all you need at the door is a special handshake.

I think it can only work if you already experienced that you are not the body or the mind.

Or have strong intuitions about it.

Otherwise yes, it's just a random inquiry.

In other words: it works only if you don't need it. Brilliant! :)

You can have experienced those things without being enlightened.

Lots of people have temporary awakenings, or mystical experiences ...

I do apologise Shin for looking so critical. I had another breakthrough with self enquiry this morning.

I wasn't serious. Thanks for sharing.

I actually love to be critized.

It's a good way to know if I'm bullshitting myself or not :)

Self Inquiry is a tool. Asking things like What am I? or I am not this body. These tools itself are within the mind. It’s a stick lit on fire you use to burn all other sticks. Eventually, you will have to throw this stick into that fire also but only if this stick is the last stick (question). I would be especially vigilant in not trying to feel any certain way or even to enjoy the peace of mind after self-inquiry as these are just experiences and mind. Bust through them, door after door, after door, after door.

As soon as you think you’re making progress or you’re going somewhere, there goes the mind again and its already contaminated. You are always that which is prior. It doesn’t prefer any particular state or emotions. It is perfect. Don’t believe in anything!

You can not enlighten yourself by a mind process


One’s center is not one’s center, it is the center of the whole. 

And the ego-center is one’s center.

That is the only difference, but that is a vast difference.-
