@Ayla Thanks Ayla, I saw it yesterday late and I couldn't finish reading it. I will do it now. -
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!
-
@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.

@Gerhard Cool, I let you know if I have any idea or suggestion. Good luck in your project!

"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." -
@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.

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! -
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????

How are you going to generate income from that website? Just curious. And, I don't know if this has to do with what you think to put on the website, but I was thinking that helpful guides about how to meditate, techniques to get enlightened can attract a lot of people. But I am not sure if it is in the scope of your website. On the other hand, the site works really well, it's a true wiki. I like that and the idea of having it connected with a forum, I never saw a wiki with forum, but maybe it's me that I don't know too much about wiki software. Nice. Did you have any knowledge of web programming before? Nice website!

Really all this thread is about the confusion that the body-mind has thinking it is separated and can "manipulate" others that are in fact itself. There's manipulation and there's no manipulation.

Lmao!!!

I am being manipulated to buy a hamburger, I'll be back!

Nothing of what you said responds what I pointed to you... I just pointed to the moon with my finger, but the finger is not the moon. You have to "accept" (or be extremely open) that there can be things that go outside of that "verified" or measured reality that you are talking about. Now we have this reality because consciousness wanted it to be like that, you don't know what the I AM is capable of doing. You are not seeing the big picture. -
I agree with @Mal on what he says @Emilio First try to watch your thoughts in meditation, observe them without attachment. It's like an exercise and your mind will get used to ignore thoughts that are not important. What you said it happened to me. You wanna know why? Because I began to "think"... "Oh, no... if I look at my boss directly to the eye she will think that I like her" or stupidity like that. Those are just thoughts. They are not true. And if she thinks bad of you, that's her problem, not yours. You just watch at the person directly to the eye because you are paying attention to what he/she says. The rest is just thoughts coming to your head distracting you, they are not real. Once you begin to meditate on that, you will notice the difference. That's called "focus". Your mind will be more "focused" without annoying thoughts. Lol. Try the video of Leo about mindful meditation, that's a good way to calm your thought process, the monkey mind.

But that happened because he was very attached to his thoughts. First I will suggest @zasa joey to learn to not get attached to thoughts, understand that we are not the thinkers of thoughts, thoughts just happen and we can't control. They are not our thoughts. Once you understand that, you can have a hell going on inside you and your external self won't move a hair, it won't be affected at all. That's what meditation does, makes you control or ignore your thoughts and not being controlled by thoughts. That's how the majority of people live, dominated by the identification with thoughts.

If you practice when you feel that shyness, try to feel it "physically" ... try to see what the body does so the brain interprets it as "shyness", same with other emotions, fear, anger, etc. You will see that is not even what you think, it is inoffensive. It's just a mind trap or game. At least it works for me. They are just perceptions of thoughts, feelings and body sensations. The problem is how we interpret them.
-
I agree @Mal Once we understand it, we think "why didn't I tried this before?" ... it's so simple that no one thinks it will work.

Sorry @cetus56 I just saw your question, I just googled "zen jokes" or "enlightenment jokes" I have one more I just found. -
I have a question about social media management. I am working with another guy on creating websites and we want to add social media services, but no one of us have any idea about how much to charge, what are the different and more common options or packages offered. Is there any site where I can check some ideas or references? I am googleing it but I thought maybe you guys know of some services offered where I can check to offer those services with our company. Thanks!!!
