  1. My Path To Somewhere, I Hope...

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

    Thanks @Natasha, I am reading a pdf file I found on a forum from the implicate technology center in England and is helping me a lot. I think the problem is that the process is slow and my ego gets anxious. Lol. Thanks again!!!!! P.S.: You can check the pdf files here, they seem pretty good and very practical. http://theimplicatetechnologycentre.co.uk/

  2. My Path To Somewhere, I Hope...

    I need to post the rest of the story but I am getting busy on my new design company (freelance). Yesterday I was sad because I felt I was far from enlightened and I had a lot of negative thoughts about not being enlightened. And at some point I felt like an insight saying "Stop feeding the beast!!!"
  3. I agree with this but I don't think they will do it. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/05/17/trump-hillary-or-sanders-seven-reasons-why-our-next-president-should-meditate.html
  5. KYOGEN'S MAN HANGING IN THE TREE Kyogen said, "It (Zen) is like a man (monk) hanging by his teeth in a tree over a precipice. His hands grasp no branch, his feet rest on no limb, and under the tree another man asks him, 'Why did Bodhidharma come to China from the West (India)?' If the man in the tree does not answer, he misses the question, and if he answers, he falls and loses his life. Now what shall he do?"
  6. We can make a movie about it

    @All_Around_Me Yes, the crazy part begins after that Lol... I will be posting it soon. Maybe on Sunday. I am working on it. I'm thinking in adapting it into a comic hehehe... and thanks for reading it.
  11. No Paul, the only way is through insights of our true self. And we understand it while we have the experience but when you want to explain it there's no words to explain it because it transcends law of physics or our senses. That's why is so difficult to prove, only personal experience can achieve that. And not through thinking or empirical methods. In fact, there's no methods.
  12. I really like that point of view, It's close to what I think right now.
  13. One more thing: Remember that Steve Jobs (and many others) pursued enlightenment and he talked a lot about the benefits of meditation, he even asked that in his funeral the Yogananda's book "Autobiography of a Yogi," were given to the people who attended to it. So, he pursued also dis-identification and he also had a great career. You can read more here about that: http://www.inc.com/hitendra-wadhwa/steve-jobs-self-realization-yogananda.html
  14. @student One thing that it took me long to understand is that "we" can't do nothing. You just have to do your meditation, continue working but don't worry. Relax and enjoy the ride. It will happen when you are not expecting. If "you" try to do it (I mean in the ego state) that can drive you crazy. Leave it to your "higher self". He knows better than the ego.
  15. @JustinS LOL Awesome!
  16. I found an article about that, interesting. http://fractalenlightenment.com/14294/enlightening-video/alter-your-genes-and-cure-any-disease
  17. Ok, this is my take but I really don't know. It is something I am still trying to understand. My idea is that everything is created by the one consciousness. The environment, the world, everything is consciousness. Because genetics is a lot influenced by environment we can say that consciousness creates the necessary genetics for the soul to be enlightened. Maybe a person who has mental illness needs it to wake up at some point, we need different type of challenges to overcome to understand who we really are. But of course, all this we have no control in the sense that we are identified with our egos and all that is let's say , controlled by that consciousness, you can call it our "collective unconscious" like it is called in psychology. But this is just my opinion, I have to study more about the subject. But basically I think that our higher self creates everything that happens to us (genetics, sickness, etc) whatever we need to become enlightened and to help the big consciousness grow up. But that's my opinion so far, it can change. We need a big open mind to talk about this topics.
  18. I think this can be of help for you @JustinS I used to ask the same question myself. Buddha says that's a question to be put aside. The idea of no self helps us not to cling to anything, so we can reach freedom. " So, instead of answering "no" to the question of whether or not there is a self — interconnected or separate, eternal or not — the Buddha felt that the question was misguided to begin with. Why? No matter how you define the line between "self" and "other," the notion of self involves an element of self-identification and clinging, and thus suffering and stress. This holds as much for an interconnected self, which recognizes no "other," as it does for a separate self. If one identifies with all of nature, one is pained by every felled tree. It also holds for an entirely "other" universe, in which the sense of alienation and futility would become so debilitating as to make the quest for happiness — one's own or that of others — impossible. For these reasons, the Buddha advised paying no attention to such questions as "Do I exist?" or "Don't I exist?" for however you answer them, they lead to suffering and stress."

  24. That's amazing, it's good that we can share experiences here because you feel more "normal" when you see that others had similar experiences. I will share some more on my journal in the forum, let us know how are you doing and what insights are you getting. This is nature talking to itself here in the forum hehehe...
