People get this wrong. You people out there seek enlightenment because most 99.9999% of you wants to end this mental/physical if any/ suffering going on.  Look, You can't suffer. First of all, excluding mental, physical suffering won't ever be gone anywhere even after you achieve enlightenment. Can "you" be physically suffering while all there happening itself? You can't be suffering while everything happens itself. You're aware of the nerve cells firing, but you put the meaning and reaction to it. You may choose to simply be observing it. I'm not telling it's pleasurable thing to do (actually it might be, but you won't get this: do self-inquiry if you want to get it) . If you choose to identify with the physical pain, you double the pain by adding the mental suffering to it. That's all you're doing. Why to double? If you were smart, instead of bitching about pain, you'd choose to observe the pain as a wise would do. Or even wisest thing is to seek help about it. That's IT! Second all mental sufferings excluding headaches and so on, are all illusions by mind/ego what the F you want to call it. That's it. Read self-help books if you want to resolve your mental sufferings, rather chasing some magical experience, It's better and easier that way. YES IT'S A BETTER WAY. Fuck some ninjas lurking around and telling you stuff "Who said that?, who thinks that" They're just mentally masturbating over you. EASIER WAY GO READ BOOKS. 1) Solve for happy 2) Feeling better by David burns, both would be found online with a search. For headaches, in my experience, It's about 99%.99999 of the time occurs from some blocked chakra, did you know what a painkiller do? It numbs your nervous system at basic to relief the pain. What's a chakra you might not know? Breathe in to the chakra while you meditate and master breathing and self healing skills. DON'T FUCKING GOOGLE healing. Breathe into the area and observe. Imagine the breathe as energy makes flex/tight area unwinding/relaxing . That's the healing skill. Yes you got it. Now go master it. Enlightenment is about discovering your true-self and nature. Discovering heart (not physical heart)/ center of your body's natural desire. This is not mean to grant you any life purpose or some profession to make money. What's true-self? It's you without your mind/body. Now stop chasing enlightenment, go fap if you will and drink some water. Case closed.
