  1. Yeah, it's just that. It can sound hollow from the ego perspective but once you are on the other side means freedom. Anyway... there's no one to become enlightened so... there's also no one to become depressed or see the experience as hollow.
  2. What is Enlightenment for you?

  3. Grace's Whisper

    I wanted to share that @Ayla with you, I found it in a blog. "I’m finding that the more I take in the idea of no-self, the more I’m becoming who I really am."

    Thanks Ayla!!! I love you, really. hehehe.... very nice of you sharing that. I had a similar experience but not with suicide, my thoughts almost drove me crazy, so the "I" didn't have a choice.
  5. @cetus56 That's cool!! I didn't know that.

    Thanks @Natasha
  8. What's the difference between the ephemeral world and the physical world? Both are the same. An atom is separated and it generates energy, right? Isn't that energy the "energetic" world. I don't see difference, all are the same. You perceive an object as physical, because that's what your senses tell you, but it's not physical. How do you know is physical? We can't see reality, the only thing we have is our experience. The rest of the stuff or ideas are just thoughts, that they are very creative but they don't take us anywhere, because you don't even know if you are the thinker of your thoughts. You are perceiving them, but they are not yours. Or what do you think? (Anyway we don't think, what we think we are is just another thought.)

    There was walking yesterday when the bus stopped close to home, but no one was walking. There was just walk. Then blinking happened, and no one blinking, just blinking doing its thing, and it was liberating. Blissful, awesome and at the same time as Shunryu Suzuki says "nothing special". There's nothing special on how nature works, but at the same time is marvelous and mind blowing. Existence can be a nightmare or a beautiful dream. We don't choose it because there's no chooser. How can be "choose" if the "choosing" is done by "thoughts", thoughts that are just that. Thoughts appearing. We can't choose, we only can live, or better said "be lived" by reality. There's no problems there, nothing to be solved, everything is perfect. Even the most outrageous acts are perfect, that's what is needed to expand consciousness, there's nothing we can do. No resistance, just let consciousness do whatever is needed to do. Because if something is done from that place, it will be perfect as everything it is. So we will be doing by no-doing. Everything is under control, so "we" don't need to do nothing from the place of "identity". We have to go to the place of no resistance and acceptance of what is.
  10. Cool! Keep doing it. :-)
  11. Did you buy some?
  12. Just curiosity, you don't feel that everything is one... is that correct? How are you separated from the universe? Not trying to convince you or say you are wrong or anything, just wondering about how you see reality. Thanks in advance.

    Damn chicken!!!
  16. Ok. Thanks @Ayla
  17. Thanks @Ayla !!!! I am going to watch it now, at lunch break at work. :-P And what you said about banning me, I think I will ban myself until I get to look truth Lol.. Promise!!!
  18. Thanks @Mal !!!! I feel better today, yesterday it was a bad day. I was trapped in the thought process. Today it's not happening. I feel liberated really. Thanks again!
  19. That's right, probably I am not understanding what you are trying to do. That's true, nobody can now for sure what is because we see it from our perspective and experience. I am not trying to say you are wrong, if I see someone I think is wrong I try to tell him, that's all. But I can be wrong. I am open to that. The thing is that for me the most important thing in this life is "enlightenment" and that is: seeing reality the way it is, without the filters that distort reality. And what I feel is that what you are telling me is true too, there's that "power" there, but in my opinion is just distractions, very attractive distractions, but it is not the real thing. Because we will be using those capabilities to fulfill our own agenda. The big picture is that we are not this separated being, we are the whole thing. There's no "self agenda" that's just a delusion. The idea of no-self is not an idea or belief, you have to see it. And it is not you who shows it or get it, it is consciousness who begins to get awaken. But maybe you don't agree with that. Anyway it was interesting chatting with you and sharing different points of view. Thanks!
  20. Incredibly I just began to watch a video of Shinzen Young about "Do Nothing" meditation, and he's saying that is not us who is meditating, we are being meditated. Awesome.
  21. Thanks @Piotr I think I can now drop everything! I got some ideas stuck on my mind and I didn't realize. Thanks to @jjer94 I am seeing what "I" was "doing" wrong. Thanks guys!!!
  22. Ok, I can do that... there's just awareness Ok, that's a good way to open the my mind, thanks! I've never thought about it that way. (I know is not about "thinking" but I need some "pointers" to take the leap. I had some bad experiences because I was searching like crazy and I almost ended crazy Lol. You are very right, we are perceiving the body, we can't be the body!!!!! Ok, that's cool. Thanks, I think that's what I was needing. I got it now. Thanks a lot!!!
  23. "If all there is is boundary-less perceiving, and you are not perceiving, what is left? " This is where I get lost, I know I am not the body, not the thoughts, not the feelings, etc... but I still feel that the body is the one which let me "perceive" through it by the senses, like sight, hearing, touch, etc... that's what keeps me "inside" this body. I know that there's no physical boundaries, at an atomic level we are emptiness mostly... but that's not enough for me at least or for consciousness... don't really know why things are stuck in this "stage" if I seem to understand everything. I know is not about understanding, but then... I don't know what else. Just sit and relax maybe....
  24. "I" don't understand why if "I" know that is just a thought, why "I" can't see "it"...
  25. I don't know nothing at all
