i am enlightened, so my ego doesn't exsist in the sense i'm grounded to my true self- what do i still call the toxic bad traits and QUOTE "bad habits" does it still remain as ego because the true self does not need anything or want anything?

Yes we are enlightened; i have come to this realisation after your words helped me relax and some further self-enquiring. thank you.

@Leo Gura actually i take back what i said, self-actualisation is actualising yourself as a human, non duality is realisation of true nature and enlightenment. i realise after realising the true nature that i was wrong. most of what i said was wrong actually some parts were true like the imperfect-perfection. but still we could make a pretty big turquoise change to reality in my opinion. Sorry though

@thesmileyone what is the difference between enlightenment/ realisation of true nature aka you as a being and full self-realisation, there are no distinct boundaries so this doesn't make sense in my book?

how do you all propose we fight over how to get to the place you are already at and who's closer to get there?

i'm on stage 4 of the ox herding pictures and its a bitch, i'm not even sure if i want to continue this anymore to be honest. i finally got a glimpse at what awareness is a couple of times (4 to be precise) and it got away everytime, couldn't keep it for more than 10-15 seconds. then this bitch, fucked me because i'm giving out pride vibes, why you might ask? because its the next best thing for my devlish ego to do because it can't discipline and focus myself to see the whole ox again. especially a quite mind because i have so many ignorant things still to get rid off! any advice?

i see; all critical points. greater jihad it is. The forum from my point of view is very distracting. although its helped me out alot over the past month i've been on it, in only ways a forum can. i have decreased in ability to do the actual work by atleast twice the amount. but i always go to the extreme with things so i'm sure thats not the case for everyone else.

nobody going to answer it

yes or no?

that is true @ajasatya ! ahah physics 1 leo 0

watching brain cox explain the best nature of the universe and watching him say einstein has the best theory of reality so far. leos explained the whole of reality so relatively! leo is smarter than einstein ahaha

lol, thank you for your kind words, i will take them onboard my ship. i've still got so much to change, i guess looking ahead- this is the fun part once you know what your looking for. its just fear as nahm said knocking on the door constantly. thanks for the motivation.

@ajasatya so working together would stop beings from having glimpses, is this what your trying to say?

@MsNobody so how do star signs actually work if you know.

@cetus56 ahah sounds like a lovely life to live if you ask me! yes it sounds what i experienced for those couple of sounds

@Serotoninluv so if we all worked together; all the non dual beings i'm talking about. what could be the change we can impose, by my count i've only seen around 40-50 non dual beings , around 10-15 are highly non dual beings and about 5 enlightened people (5 is a guess, i've seen 3)

how comes you decided not to say anything, i found what you wrote pretty profound on your blog about imperfectness and the enlightenment only being a piece of the puzzle

@Key Elements i'm not gonna lie, it was really beautiful without any thoughts, i kept looking at trees on my walk home and i noticed alot more intricate details, the trees have no leaves but the branches looked amazing, it was like i entered a new world because the tree wasn't a tree, there was no thought coming into my head saying this is a path, this is a tree, this are some bushes, i couldn't name a thing - it was silence, i never wanted to come out from. but knew it would break sooner or later when i had to think and talk about something to my parents and that very thought (fear) sent me out of it lol. i think this has got myself over another barrier in one way, wanting to become enlightened really fast, now i know that this is not possible without loads of work. yeah thats my point, i have loads of addictions i realised i need to drop now , i thought i could get away with it for some reason, but now every action counts. i understand what you mean by

@cetus56 yeah i'm using sarcasm because i'm upset about how much work there is actually to do! LIKE SO MUCH! as leo would say "man i'm gonna need a bigga boat". because i'm already there is what your trying to say like nahm @Nahm @cetus56 you know what it is really stopping me, its the fact about how much my life will change/ needs to change in order for me to tame it. i know its easy as relaxing but keeping that way in daily life and daily practice, i think i'm scared how things are going to change without my knowing it.

@cetus56 this ego still hasn't learnt its lesson yet! i actually think this is going to take me 10 years to do; to get past stages 4 and 5 "taming the ox". and then 6 riding the ox

@Nahm exactly and i know that the resistant thinking is wrong, so it makes relaxing difficult because i feel like i have to do something. i think i'll start with @cetus56 advice and realise that it happens in abscence because that was the place i was trying to get to. i just didn't know how to get there on command... just know that i have to be the ox. and even then i'm doing resistant thinking and being like "no i'm still thinking, this is not the ox" "no i'm still not the ox, theres no words coming through thought, but i haven't let go of what i think awareness is as a human, this is not pure awarness" the whole works and thats why its only been 4 times so thanks nahm, i realise now i was looking for a practice to relax and completely lose myself as you suggested in the absence is where i was trying to get.

sorry i didn't mean see the ox, i meant be the ox- but for the reference of the 10 pictures i said see the whole ox (front and back), hmm i can't really self inquire anymore, nor do neti - neti, they get me up to awareness and but i can't maintain it. i read that i have to meditate to focus on it more, which would you recommend- no mind meditation (plus i don't even know how to meditate)! my motivation is so low at the moment

@TheAvatarState i think you did, those percentages weren't out of the question. the topic isn't about spotting ego- its about talking about collaberation of any sort under the term actualised.org?

@now is forever where?
