Other than non dual aspects, 

There are other things like the self 

 

Time is definitely a non dual aspect of life as it continues without aberration or cyclic change. So does space

Always believe in the Higher Order. The Higher Power  and the Higher Self. 

 

[Preety_India]

I will use a particular sound to describe the. 

For wind chakra philosophy, I'll use the sound of wind and storm.. WWRLTS. 

For the philosophy on meditation and Enlightenment, MEDEN, I'll use the sound of the lakes. 

 

[Preety_India]

MEDEN = MEDITATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT 

the lake.

What is enlightenment? 

I really don't know how to answer this question. 

Sometimes it feels like enlightenment is just a concept created by Eastern philosophers and such a thing never exists. 

Maybe enlightenment is just having higher wisdom. 

There is no universally accepted definition of enlightenment. Everyone has their own concept or imagination of it. 

I sometimes imagine enlightenment as shorts bursts of awakening. Intermittent short burts. Where you regress over your situation to know where you went wrong in your past actions. Like a feedback or learning through mistakes. 

Something like what Vizual said in one of the threads. 

 

 

I became enlightened during my last trip to the bathroom. I discovered that I really should not have eaten those brown beans yesterday

 

What is spirituality? 

This will need its own set of posts.

The self 

I think the self does exist. But not in an absolute way 

The self is however only a story like all other stories. 

Still, a strong sense of self is very helpful to keep the mind sane. 

Self should not be confused with the ego. 

Another concept that I had in mind and I want to name it naturalism. 

That is to be your true natural self. 

Nothing more. Nothing less. 

Difference between Self and Ego. 

That a person who is spiritual is innate. They don't have layers to them. They speak from the heart. They don't have ego or inner ego. An inner ego is like a layer between the inner spirit and the outside identity. This layer is thick when it's influenced by social conditioning and inner fears, this ego prevents the person from being their authentic self. 

Self exists on its own. An existence. 

Ego is acquired.

The Ego is notorious. 

The ego tries to cover the inner spirit or authentic self and blocks its expression by convincing the mind of delusions. 

The Ego is opposite of Spirituality. 

Growth of the Ego means death of spirituality. 

Death of the Ego or minimization of the Ego means growth of spirituality. 

They are inversely proportional 

. A presence of an ego, especially an ugly ego never allows the growth of spirituality. 

 

 

 

[Preety_India]

Why does the self exist and what's its purpose? 

The self exists like all other things that exist. However the self does not exist as an inanimate object. 

The self is a vehicle or obelisk of consciousness. It's constantly growing in both energy and consciousness. 

In this essence the self is Infinite. 

Finite expression of Infinity. 

The identification of the self or "me" is just a finite expression of infinite.

Difference between self and me.

Tis all a Chequer-board of nights and days

Where Destiny with men for Pieces plays:

Hither and thither moves, and mates,and slays,

And one by one back in the closet lays.

What is our relationship with reality?

This can be a multi approach.. 

Many relationships or forms of relationships 

? A neutral relationship - where you simply accept reality for what it is. And don't react much to it. Silent observer.

 

?Transformative relationship - where you actively work towards changing the reality. Action 

 

? Understanding relationship - where you try to understand that this is the nature of reality and do whatever you can to suitably fit into it and try to make subtle adjustments to cope with it. You are not in denial. Matured approach. You begin to understand that reality is a product of human nature. You embrace the enemy. Compromising relationship. 

 

?Deep relationship - where you understand that the hidden truths of life and the harsh nature of reality and realize the deeper interconnections between different aspects of reality. A nihilistic approach or relationship where you realize that sudden change or transformation is only a pipedream. A liberating approach 

 

?Learning approach - constantly learning different aspects of reality and making the best out of such learning.. Not judging. Simply learning and optimizing this learning to personal advantage 

 

?Denial Relationship - here you completely deny reality and put your own thoughts and ideas on it and expect it to turn out how you want it to. You just cannot accept how reality is. This leads to a lot of backlash, resistance, loss, protesting and clash. 

?Differentiating relationship - here you try to differentiate between absolute or natural reality and perceived reality or conditioned reality. This differentiation helps you in keeping things simple and reducing the impact of reality in your life to a certain extent. In short you're screening reality to disengage with the drama of reality and only deal with its absolute form. You reduce the burden of reality by separating the wheat from the chaff. 

 

?Embracing Relationship - embracing reality means accepting and loving what's happening. Understanding that whatever is going on is a function of karma and a function of cause and effect. It will happen the way its fated to happen. So there is a beauty or art to how the reality is panning out in front of you. Here you embrace reality for what it is rather than bitching about it. You look at it with amazement and simply go with it. You understand that everything that is happening around you is happening for all the good reasons and this was a masterful plan well executed and that in the end its all good even if currently it looks bad. 

?Escaping Relationship - you escape reality ?, most commonly by playing video games. You just don't want to deal with it anymore. Better to escape than try to find a remedy or even take it's daily assault on your well being. You use all kinds of distractions from sex, porn, video games, drugs, relationships, excessive mental masturbation. On and on and on. 

?Deflecting Relationship  - here you deflect reality because you understand that sometimes trying to make everything right in the world doesn't work anymore. You try to ignore your responsibility in changing it. You remain content with yourself. You watch Terrible news on TV but instead of thinking how to change things, you simply put off the TV and go back to your business as usual. You reject and deflect reality since in your mind you think that there is no use in engaging in reality so much. You see the futility of it all. So you simply focus on your own self and your own progress.

What is consciousness according to me? 

What is consciousness? 

I answered that question in this thread...

I think @Meta-Man can answer this really well.

The mind creates an illusion of division for survival. It has to be this way. There is a you and there is a I. However when you reach higher levels of consciousness, you see the boundaries dissolving, see the enlightenment video of Leo, you begin to realize that we are always living in Maya or illusion and this prevents us from realizing how the our own actions and the actions of others are impacting the same consciousness that we all share. 

Think of it as a long stream of all objects, people, events, and imagine all these elements interacting with each other within the stream. These elements although part of the same consciousness, have out of their egos separated themselves from each other and thus living in an illusion and impacting each other meanwhile all their collective actions are actually impacting this collective consciousness..

So it's not totally meaningless when you are giving advice to the other. You're giving advice to someone who is also a part of you. You are giving it to yourself who is found in another.. That person's mistakes are your mistakes. Your advice is helping you to overcome your mistakes in the other self. These are parts of you, versions of you, you see them differentiated, just like many streams arise out of the same river. So even if one stream is different from another, they all meet in the same sea.. All these parts of yourself that look unique to you will come together to unite and form you again. And the whole will be formed again.

I've been working on this for years now, and I want to share with you this simple 3 step method I came up with:  

 

1. Learn how to identify these energies (and lack of) both in yourself and others.

 

- Start by identifing them in yourself. Become really good at this. You should be able to feel them as clearly and distinctly as you feel heat and cool, don't be fuzzy. This is crucial.

 

- Notice how they fluctuate troughout the day, and what thoughs and situations make them do so.

 

- Notice that you (and everybody else) lean more towards one of them. Even tough the energies constantly fluctuate, you spend much more time leaning towards one side of the spectrum than towards the other.

 

- Notice that many men, although they outter appearence may be very masculine, lean towards the feminine, and the opposite with women. Don't let superficialities and social conventions fool you, learn how to isolate the energies.

 

2. Learn how to charge yourself with both.

 

- Imagining you are other people/animals This is the easiest method. Identify a person or an animal which you identify with one of the energies and imagine you are it. You should feel yourself being filled with that energy.

 

- Direct invocation When you've mastered the previous method, you can think directly of the energy you want to charge yourself with and imagine yourself being full of that. You can also imagine that you are breathing that energy.

 

Don't do it only with the energy you have more difficulites integrating, you must master both to perfection.

 

3. Be mindful of your energies troughout the day and adjust moment to moment.

 

Once you can quickly charge yourself with whatever you need, it's up to you to judge what kind of balance you need for the different situations you face. Sometimes it will be better to polarize towards one side of the spectrum (for example, if you are playing some rough sport, you are better off polarizing towards the masculine), but most of the time you'll wanna gravitate around the center.

 

There's so much that could be said about this topic, but it would make it too long. Let me know if you have any questions, or other useful methods.

 

Hope it's helpful!
