@Venus I didn't say that. I just said that it can help and it was what it helped me to know that I would never be depressed. I was in a very deep depression and I got out from it that way. I'm just sharing my experience, maybe it can help. Maybe not. Who knows? MIndfulness meditation helps to know you are not those thoughts. Not creating an habit. When you get separated from the thoughts your true self or true nature begins to get awaken. When you understand who you really are, there's no depression who can defeat you. Because there's not a "you".

The main problem is that you "think" there's someone separated from others who is depressed and sad. You are not that. Check what you are not and you will find what you really are. And that what you are, can't be depressed or sad. You are aware of sadness and depression, but you are not not depressed, because you can't be. It's just a thought that is not real. I suggest you to meditate on mindful meditation, observing thoughts without getting attached to them. Don't fight them, just observe them. This will create an habit of not paying attention to your "lower self". That doesn't exists in reality. This helps to make a separation between your real nature and "thoughts" (lower self) which are not real and are not you, and those thoughts are not even talking about you, and they can't tell you who you really are. After you understand you are not the thinker of thoughts your awakening to a new life will begin. But, you will see that this life it's not something new that you can get or obtain, you were (and are) always "that". You are life itself.

I am awareness, I am pure consciousness...

I found this set of instructions really helpful, here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.albigen.com/uarelove/awa_instructions.htm An extract from that webpage: "The author of these pages does not claim to have invented the awareness-watching-awareness method. Rather, after many years of searching, he intuitively discovered the method while on a visit to the Ramana Maharshi ashram in India. Before applying the method, he sought support for it in the teachings of Ramana and other realized teachers, and indeed found support for it there. Many of these supporting sources are referenced below. He then applied himself diligently to the practice, and in a little over two years time experienced the death of the ego and realized his real Self. He considers this method to be the most rapid and direct means to self-realization, and the writings on these pages are intended to explain this simple practice, thereby saving the aspirant many years of vain searching, the result of using less direct means." I hope it's useful for all

Lmao!!!!

They are really experts in brainwashing techniques. The cult leader is scary!

He's a reptilian

One more thing: There's no "my" experience

Talking about the devil, today I bought something from the supermarket and it cost me $ 6.66

From the Chandogya Upanishad: " The Ultimate exists within oneself – Third Prapāṭhaka The first six verses of the thirteenth volume of Chandogya's third chapter state a theory of Svarga (heaven) as human body, whose doorkeepers are eyes, ears, speech organs, mind and breath. To reach Svarga, asserts the text, understand these doorkeepers. The Chandogya Upanishad then states that the ultimate heaven and highest world exists within oneself "

That's what I was asking, thanks! I know it can't be understood from our perspective.

That's what I don't get, isn't that ultimately consciousness our true self? It is witnessing itself, the only thing is that maya (the illusion) is making it believe that is a separated entity. Or am I wrong?

I think is both, Bullshit and no Bullshit! Very interesting @eskwire I didn't know about that. That's pretty buddhist I think, hehehe.

Everything are concepts, but we have to talk Lol

Our bodies could be, but not our true nature. IMO

Zen Wisdom: "If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments."

Well, you are "thinking" that I am not going to engage because I say world is an illusion, that's your belief. Knowing that the world is an illusion gives you a much more strong place to confront it. Try it one day and you will know how it works. You won't be overwhelmed by the situation, and you will act getting the best possible results, if you continue "thinking" in being attached to worldly problems, you won't act to get the best results, you will act from your unconscious ego and probably you will feel overwhelmed by the "problem". If you think we are egoic beings on the planet earth, that's what we will be. But you know we are not that. I am not trying to say that I am right, I just act from a different perspective, that in my experience is much better than believing the world is the "ultimate reality".

Balance? Balance is just a thought, you are scared of the truth. There's no "balance" when you talk about realizing yourself. "The seer and the object seen are like the rope and the snake. Just as the knowledge of the rope which is the substrate will not arise unless the false knowledge of the illusory serpent goes, so the realization of the Self which is the substrate will not be gained unless the belief that the world is real is removed." Ramana Maharshi

Don't worry! It's just Maya making fun of us!

I think Donald Trump is pure awareness, The absolute itself.

@cetus56 I like that guy, he is really clear on his teachings, and he shares a lot of information on his youtube channel. Very juicy information, take a look at his channel. He's really good. IMO.

@Emerald Wilkins We are all doomed!!! And I am from South America, maybe I have to go back to my country Lol...
