  1. @Dunnel if you want give antidepressants a try. Additionally, OCD is based on over “self “ controlling. You can overcome it by yourself too. Meditation or process of enlightenment is completely surrendering and letting go the self. Which mean is completely opposite direction of OCD. But you can overcome without the medication too.
  2. Very nice!! As much as you get light in the body, you become more aware. Just an advice dont overthink about what you have experienced, just go with the flow. When you think you cant feel, when you feel you can think. Just feel, be light, be free. Even if the feeling is bad dont matter just feel, dont think. When there will be no comparing as good or bad feeling, “you” will be completely free. Much love.
  3. Try to do is hard. But not doing is easy. Just watch the ego, let it go crazy. But do not identify and attach yourself with the ego. Be witness as there is no future. Whatever will be or no matter what the case, just surrender.
  4. @Dunnel what is your medical issue? If antidepressants helps you to overcome from your sickness, it will help to meditate easier. For instance, If you have an anxiety problem, it will be hard to meditate as regular human being. And if antidepressants helps you to overcome from your anxiety, it is helpful. But do not depend on anything in the long term, use it just for recovery.
  5. @Someone here if religion helps you to surrender the “I” or “self”, it is very important for you. If not, it is not important. Whatever helps you to surrender yourself, thats the path that you should follow.
  6. @Javfly33 at least 4 hours meditation a day (silence and darkness), contemplation on letting go and surrendering the self (or life). Try to be aware every moment during the day, be aware of every thought that comes up to surface. Do not get attached the thoughts with constant thinking. It will be like thoughts are coming to present moment, instead of as regular human thinking process or thoughts.
  7. Sure. Body and mind are extremely smart. Just surrender and let go the “self” dont be on control, body will move effortlessly, mind will think when it is necessary and mouth will talk fluently.
  8. There is no self to think the thoughts, you are the thought itself. Therefore no thoughts. Thought can not think the thought. When you say “thinking “, if you dont label and name the word of “thinking “, there will be no more “thinking “.
  9. No mind is no “I”. If there is no “I”, you are the moment. Identical.
  10. Have to let go and surrender the “I”. No more future nor past. Just now.
  11. @Sempiternity when not knowing comes, there is no going, coming back, universe, life nor you. You think you are alive and in the world now, Instead of thought process?
  12. %80 is the moment %20 is the thought process. Overthinking or repetitive thoughts doesn’t take place. Just decide and do it. Sometimes moment is too deep (if no thought process happens for long time) “you” disappear as sleep. And just “be”. Identification ends. Play the so called human character as in the game. Bliss, freedom and effortlessness which is the moment, which is you.
  13. ? Direct experience is must. That’s what You are. So called Deep sleep, or before birth, just being. And it is now. The moment. Birth has never happened.
  14. This is not a thought, it is nothing. Everything is nothing, therefore there is no such a thing as something. Just nothingness. If you dont think during the day, there wont be any “during the day”, “you”, “something “, “experience “, nor “produce”. Nothingness can not be experienced, can just “be”, as sleeping. Forget everything that “you” have learned (including yourself), whatever left is what YOU really are.
  15. These are just thoughts. Nothing happens, has happened nor appears. “I am awake” is a thought itself. There is no duality. Now is before birth, as sleep. Just identification, naming and labeling the so called thoughts makes “you”, “duality “ or “world”. Including calling the thoughts as “thoughts”.
  16. Sleeping has no differences than being awake. So “you” decide, is there any “you” or “something “ ?
  17. DON’T DO IT!!! Specially if she is pregnant. DON’T DO IT! This is not something you can force on others. Everyone must be do it willingly. Everyone walks in the path alone. DO NOT EVER FORCE ANYONE.
  18. 4 hours discussion, Krishanamurti between psychiatrist, biologist and theoretical physicists about roots of psychological disorders, psychological suffering, the need for security and what is a healthy mind. These videos can provide great information about mechanism of ego, suffering and living effortlessly. Great stuff! Highly recommend!
  19. You must let go yourself. Let go every future expectations, day dreams, body, satisfactions, pursuing enlightenment, including these sentences. Let go everything you have know and depend on, firstly belief of “I”. This is completely false. “You” can not maintain any “state” or “stay” in the “state”. You have to let go “Everything “. Otherwise, enlightenment never comes, you operate from the mind and be stuck in the thought process, fantasies, suffering and prison. Dont look at the people in form. %99 have no idea what are they talking about. If you put them darkness or silence for 2 weeks they will go crazy. For instance, enlightenment comes to girl who is in Nazi’s camp, and realized that her entire life will be there and will never be able to get out. She completely let go the “life”. Other example, a Samurai cuts his arm of for the Truth. Enlightenment is not a joke. You have to meditate for hours, live in darkness and silence till it vanishes “you”. When enlightenment comes “you” “die” Including anything “you know of dies too, including death”. And whatever left is what really YOU ARE.
  20. The so called mind which says that “present moment is boring and empty or this feeling is very boring and empty vs vs....” is your enemy. Do not listen whatever comes from so called mind. Your greatest enemy is yourself. Imam Ali
  21. The real Wu Wei is not Intentionally Wu Wei, therefore is Wu Wei. Inferior Wu Wei Tries to be Wu Wei. Therefore it isnt. (Lao Tzu) In other words this is saying, Wu Wei is not a matter cultivated passivity or even of cultivated spontaneity. Because there are people who think they are released that they realized they are the Dao, as all of us in fact are, the eternal self of the universe beyond all description, classification or thoughts. And they say okay baby i am that now i am gonna have ball ??. (Alan Watts) If you say you are god, you are not. Because, it comes from the mind and you are attached to still identification as calling yourself as “god”, “universe “, “Nothing” or “infinite “. Only way to be IS ( No thoughts therefore no identification) just “silence” just “Be”. Rumi — 'silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.'
