Yeah, I think so. I had one experience of no identity once. And it's scary as f***. At that moment was, because of my ignorance and my attachment to my identity. I feel now that I am ready but I am not sure hehehe... Maybe I need someone to push me hahahaha Cheers!

You can do that. I am not enlightened, but I realized that those are fears from the idea of "me" that doesn't want to "die or disappear" so the ego come up with all those fears and questions about being enlightened and I am almost sure they are not at all true. As the old saying goes: Before Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after Enlightenment, chop wood carry water.

Before Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after Enlightenment, chop wood carry water.

My biggest fear was losing my identity, and I think I am ready to drop the identity... Lol But that was my biggest fear and it is to certain extent now...

On a second thought, just to play with the imagination, I imagine in a enlightened society probably there would be no wars, factories won't contaminate, there would be work because people like to work, people will do the work that is necessary for society to function, there would be no discussions, we could go to the cinema and watch high quality movies not garbage movies, no rapes, no craziness, things will run smoother. We will have politicians who will be interested in the people, or maybe there will be no politicians hehehe... And the list can go on and on... probably we will understand better science and health, etc...

This is your idea or concept of how enlightenment will be in the future. Don't try to imagine how it will be because that's not possible. The ego keeps asking questions. The being just it is. And it is better not try to know because we are blind with our beliefs, we can't see reality as it is, and we can't not have idea what the next thing is going to be. Lol... One thing I know, it will be worth it.

You can take a look at ways to make passive income http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/ But I think this post is more for the "Life Purpose, Career, Entrepreneurship" section of the forum

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire."

I think when you are enlightened you don't ask that question. That's exactly what enlightenment is, knowing there's not a next thing to pursue.

What are your ideas about how to become enlightened? What do you think about this video?

@JevinR Cool, thanks for your comment.

Living in the present moment in "feast or famine" ?

Thanks @charlie2dogs !!!!

About the meditation, you didn't do anything wrong. It was really good. You won't notice changes, it's slow. But you will see that your thoughts will not dominate you as easily. If you continue practicing that and being in the "now", that means worrying about what you need to do at the moment without overthinking, you will see improvements. You will experience some liberation from thought. About the therapist and your fear of trying to fill an unfillable void, don't worry. We all are doing that all the time, until we know ourselves better and we know who we are and what we are doing. That's called self-realization or enlightenment. So, let it be. It's fear, just fear. It's nothing real. You experience fear and immediately you begin to think, and overthink. Just feel the fear as if you notice a thought, let it go and continue with whatever you think is Ok for you. That's what I think about it, I hope it helps.

Wordpress is the best option, then if your blog grows you can easily transform it in a full fledged CMS. It's really good for everything, blog, all kind of websites and e-commerce site.

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known.” ~Corinthians 13

Maybe this can explain my point better.

It can be also said that we are God, right?

Search for your true self

You can visit blogs and subscribe to them when you are interested... I am in the search of good blogs, mostly what I am doing is I subscribe to a youtube channel and I mark it to get an e-mail when a new video has been uploaded.

I would do-nothing, yet I will be doing everything.

It doesn't matter

In the Zendo I am going we always do walking meditation, and it's so powerful. I feel that it's a training to be constantly in a state of being and self realization as you walk.

Maybe personhood has already failed, mooji was enlightened by Prayer not meditation, by a Christian Mystic. How do we know if he didn't do the work. I am feeling that people is thinking I want a shortcut, or I don't wanna do "the work". Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the work was done and it's time to be self realized.
