Dont knock it til youve tried it! Oooohm...? I kissed a girl... I liked it... ??????

Because Western Romantic Love is highly neurotic. Notice how almost all of those sayings are about me me me and my personal happiness.

Good book! Dont remember much from it but it has a good premise.

Stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back at you.

I sometimes talk to myself and act generally goofy when I have an abundance of tense energy, Its no big deal, youre not crazy lol.

10/10 A Must Read ancient Allegory if you’ve travelled awhile on your spiritual path.

Where are you my hoopoe?

I was listening to a Spira talk yesterday while meditating and something about the reality of me being the only reality ive ever experienced and will ever truly know hit me pretty hard, after that I had a stomach-ache all night long. Is there a correlation? Can insights make you feel actually so subconsciously shocked that your body starts reacting in strange ways?

@Zweistein! yes! sweden!

@i am I AM I posted the video sloppily, he contradicts himself, first he says he didnt know what was going on and that he thought he was off his rocker, and then he says it wasnt frightening... anyway... im not into debating... maybe its all just ??

@Leo Gura I thought awakening was something that comes and goes and Enlightenment sort of the culmination and eventual end? Like Nirvana?

@Outer

@Outer yeah we all post for attention, you get it now, if someone freaks out and cant handle it you dont have to give any advice, i mean its just enlightenment its not a big deal

Way to dismiss someone off the bat. Have you had an enlightenment realization? Perhaps yours was pleasant, some arent, Kundalini awakenings can be super-difficult. Were all different human-beings and the way we interpret insights that turn our reality upside down can be very different.

hahaha

Are there monks with afros?

@Charlotte Crazy! Hope you can achieve that Samadhi-state without the “side-effect” next time!

I dont know if youll find happiness realizing no-hand. You can try though.

Oh my god! That happened from just a glimpse?! Did it happen while sober? Maybe it was a sort of purge perhaps.

Thank you for the elaborated response Nahm! Yes there is resistance, ego is afraid of a sort of solipsistic loneliness, although I realize that it has always been that way so theres nothing to be afraid of, I’m just noticing reality in a way I havent before, its a little freaky, gonna be a long road of bumps I guess. Oh! Thanks! Much love to you my friend! ?

@Outer I agree, its just that everytime I go back to the insight my stomach feels a bit queasy... guess their might be something there... or not, time will tell.

So right! Cant believe he hasnt made something like that! Come on Leo!

Agreed. But you can also change the basis of your thoughts through a few months of contemplation, if youre always negative you can subconsciously change that.

Is regular old finding yourself getting you down? Try these techniques: •Notice that YOU are experiencing all of your senses, who is “inside” or “behind” all of your senses? •Locate yourself “inside” hearing, tasting, smelling, etc can you find anyone there? •What implies identity? Feeling, autonomy? More of a contemplation.
