  1. Try mindful meditation, it helps a lot. Observing your thoughts, you become aware that you are not your thoughts. So, you will discard negatives thoughts more easily, like suicidal thoughts, etc. Those thoughts come to you, but is not you who think them. They are just thoughts, don't identify with them. When you become more detached from your thoughts you will notice that your energy and will power will grow and you will be able to accomplish the goals that you have set for yourself. Search in Leo's videos the one about mindful meditations, it's really powerful.
  2. @A way to Actualize I am really investigating. I think that we really "copy" what we see, and we modify based on our experience, that's why our creations look original, etc. But in fact, in the essence is just materials transformed in something else, with our touch based on our experience etc. The energy is always the same, we only adapt it to our taste, feeling, etc. I want to read some books about creativity that addresses that topic. Like this one http://www.amazon.com/Steal-Like-Artist-Things-Creative/dp/0761169253 There's more, I think it opens your mind about creativity, sometimes I am afraid of doing something similar to other and people will say I am "copying"; I was finding out about famous desings, most of them had copyright infringements problems. That's enlightening for me. :-) Take a look: https://99designs.com/blog/tips/5-famous-copyright-infringement-cases/
  3. Same thing here @Emerald Wilkins I always tend to try to show others my points of view, I am learning to be quiet now and don't talk too much about that and try to keep the conversation light. I like to talk about enlightenment and I have not too many people to talk to about it, so it's true that is a path that we have to walk alone.
  4. When you are too worried about the exams just look at this picture.
  5. I find it harder to talk with others now because of the different interpretations that the same word can have, everything is relative. Under some perspectives everything is false and under other different perspectives is true. That give us a lot of creativity to combine different ideas, right?
  6. @vizual Maybe we need a new definition for transformer and creator hehehehe... but I agree that the broccoli can transform me too... it's too complicated lol
  7. Ok, for example. Food... let's talk about food. You don't literally "create" the food. You take a lettuce, combine with oil, then salt, then you add lemon or vinegar, and then we say "I created that salad". That's wrong, what you did is transform the lettuce, tomato, oil etc in a Salad. So, we don't create nothing. Same thing happen with anything. If you do an illustration, you take a pencil for example. You apply it against a paper surface and you copy from nature, and if you make something like let's say crazy like abstract art, you can't say you created it either, because the randomness of the drawing whatever can be seen also in nature, or in a garbage can, whatever. Everything is influencing us and we transform that into something different, but in fact we are not creating nothing. That's why I am against copyright, Steve Jobs made everything from inspiration from different sources. He was original in his "transformations", adapting designs ideas to a mac computer or an iPhone, but everything he did was "inspired" by something already made long time before.
  8. What do you think about this Mooji video? https://player.vimeo.com/video/37587511
  9. @Truth Where is Megan Fox???
  10. That really goes well with an experience I had. I was waking up and I had what I thought at that moment it was my worst nightmare. I felt I was in a black space, nothing was there and I didn't have identity. And I felt there was completely nothing. I wake up really shocked, I have to go to the hospital because I was so shocked that I forgot everything, I couldn't focus, concentrate. It was crazy. At that moment I thought it was my worst nightmare, now I am thinking it was a revelation.
  11. Interesting @Henri , I didn't know about that. I will read about that topic.
  12. Anyway, it doesn't matter because none of us exist.
  13. It's incredible how the answer is our questions most of the time, but I still don't experience the truth, the nothing. But I am patient.
  14. Mr Ego understand that, but it's a bit hard headed LOL...
  15. @MarkusR We are never sure while we are in a duality state. I am open to anything, but there are like guides to enlightenment that we can read from others. It's never going to be our experience but it helps. Until we can experience it by itself. I have the idea that the true self observes everything, the body, the mind, our feelings, but it can't be observed. Otherwise it would be an object, separated or different than itself by definition of the meaning of observation. When you think you observe yourself, you are not doing it. That's not your real self. It's your ego. The ego can be observed, that's how we know there's something more transcending it. But, maybe I am wrong.
  16. @Clay Curl I think you have a great idea. I have no idea how to implement it ... LOL... but sounds promising.
  17. Real self cannot be observed, it's not an object of study. That's the problem. Science has no way to measure it, it's like a scale who can weight other objects but can't weight itself. Or a knife, it can't cut itself. (Thanks Mooji).
  18. Anyone has experience with Acorns? or Digit? they are systems to save money automatically, while the first one make investments with your money. https://www.acorns.com/ https://digit.co/r/bJA_I I was thinking in using those services but I would like to know if anyone has had experience using them. Thanks!
  19. Cool @Neill and @Kevin Dunlop and thanks for the information, very valuable for me.
  20. Cool, thanks @Argue !!!
  21. @Neill Yeah, that's true. That's why I was thinking in something really simple. But, let's see what I can do. :-)
  22. That's cool @Neill I like the idea of the app. I am a graphic designer, so... I am thinking about creating some applications, it's really interesting. I am thinking in doing a simple game, kind of like the one of flappy bird game. And I want to do it using Flash because I have the adobe creative cloud software. I think it can be also created for cellphones. The new flash app is called now Animate CC and Mobile Device packaging. I think it should be possible to make an app for cell phones with that.
