    Damn chicken!!!
  3. Ok. Thanks @Ayla
  4. 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!!!
  5. 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!
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. 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!!!
  9. 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!!!
  10. "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....
  11. "I" don't understand why if "I" know that is just a thought, why "I" can't see "it"...
  12. I don't know nothing at all
  13. I read it, it's cool... it goes deep... But anyway I am confused.
  14. @jjer94 Thanks!!!!
  15. @Ayla Thanks Ayla, I saw it yesterday late and I couldn't finish reading it. I will do it now.

  16. Awakening - "practical Toolkit"

    abrakamowse replied to Ayla's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    I think I'm dropping everything. I have to stop reading. Stop everything, no doing. Nothing at all. Like mooji says "nothing at all, nothing at all"!!!

    Yes, that's correct. Thanks!

  18. Awakening - "practical Toolkit"

    abrakamowse replied to Ayla's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    @Ayla Ok, I got you. I think I am searching for something to validate, or to be sure that what I am doing is Ok. Lol. Thanks!!! You are right. I need to trust more on my inner guide/true self/my self.
  19. @Gerhard Cool, I let you know if I have any idea or suggestion. Good luck in your project!
  20. "The Buddha says "my teaching is not a dogma or a doctrine, but no doubt some people will take it as such." The Buddha goes on to say "I must state clearly that my teaching is a method to experience reality and not reality itself, just as a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon itself. A thinking person makes use of the finger to see the moon. A person who only looks at the finger and mistakes it for the moon will never see the real moon."

  21. Awakening - "practical Toolkit"

    abrakamowse replied to Ayla's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    @Ayla yesterday I did the Teddy Bear exercise and immediately I began to feel enormous energy on top of my head. It was clearly like a lotus opening, as it is said in Buddhist books. So, it seems that your exercise is pretty good. It was like automatic. I always felt in the forehead in the "third eye" area, since I was teenager, I felt like a gentle push in my forehead from time to time, and in that moment I take it like consciousness trying to tell me something, like an opportunity or something that I have to be aware. Lately I am beginning to feel not only that "push" on my third eye, but also that energy on the crown chakra.

    Thanks Ayla! You are awesome!
  24. Well, I didn't know it was a Bruce Lee quote until now. But I googled it and I see that Bruce Lee used that quote frequently. Cool... Well, the quote is not original from Bruce Lee, but is fun to see your level of knowledge. The quote is used on thousands of Zen and Buddhist books and it was said also by Buddha (I have to confirm this, but for sure Bruce Lee was not the creator of the quote). I hope you can achieve everything with your grounded "reality". I know what are you talking about, and I know with what kind of stuff your are playing... I only hope you don't go too high, because the fall is going to be painful. You are playing with the fingers, have fun!!! The moon is there, but you don't wanna see it!
  25. If you meditate for a long time, you will increase your consciousness and you will notice improvements in your focus, less depression and anxiety, you will think better, you will know what is more important and you will leave tasks that are detrimental for you but you didn't notice before, increase memory retention and recall, you will become more creative, and more and more... Isn't that pragmatic? Or what kind of pragmatism are you talking about????
