That is the most accurate discription of living

"Everything is concsiousness" It doesn't mean that this "dream" or "subjective experience" doesn't have physical laws and mathematical/geometrical patterns. Maybe science is right, but in the dream. This is very confusing for me.

Does this deny the fact that the conscious human being (false self tho) is not affected at all from this brain? The me in the mind, the identity is totally based on the brain/mind. If the brain dies I will die. Not the body. As "the brain", i mean the mind. Brain is an object, bunch of sensations. The mind is .. ?

The problem is that science likes to see what things are made of. It goes on and on and there are still layers upon layers of "it's made of x". I guess it ends with nothing. The appareance paradigm goes straight to the point. It's a dream grounded in nothing, again.

I have a video game addiction. 2+ years and I'm steal dealing with it. Now I have to put a lot of hours into studying to become successful. To have a good life. Youtube and video games completely stop me from studying. When I stop them, I get excessive boredom for all day long. I hate studying because it is completely pointless and empty. The only sustainable way of motivation to study comes from competition and silly numbers and points in exams. Which is completely hollow and empty. You get better that others, you get the good feeling to go on. You fuck it up, you feel like shit. Enlightenment work and inquirying can be another cause of my resistance. I don't like studying, then I use this as another layer of resistance towards it. I look at studying as it is and see it's bullshit. The problem is studying is absolutely crutual to my future and if I fuck it up, I will lose the only great chance in my life. Should I stop consciousness work? If not, how to do something you hate and overcome the boredom?

@WelcometoReality Mostly yes

@FoxFoxFox Thank you. @Waken Thanks @Alex I tried many things but eliminating it forever is the best solution for me. @Nahm Actually I've been trying to do it. So much attachment to video games and Youtube, then a great series of boredom. I'll go on to see what happens next

@FoxFoxFox What does proper meditation mean?

@Jkris that's the point. Enlightenment will never fix all the problems. I still have to live, earn money, go on. I guess i have to cope with boredom until it's gone.

@Jkris Happiness is not the result of success/money/pleasure. Happiness is acceptence and I experienced it many times before. This is the reason I don't like studying. A task of memorizing and learing concepts to pay the bills.

@mandyjw Studying will just give me an oppurtunity to have good income. It won't give me happiness. My major is science. Best univeristy majors are medical and pharmacy majors. No i don't like them. The only thing that I could really like about it is neuroscience. But this still doesn't motivate me to study. Maybe concsiousness work made me dull and very unintrested in other stuff.( maybe not )

"Follow your dreams, follow your passion" Bullshit. You can't do that if you're moralized to go a specific path in life. More mindfulness i get, more suffering i see.

@Leo Gura I've heard this phrase many many times in islam What ever happens, is happening through the will of Allah (God) Repeated 20 times in Quran (I dont hold islamic beliefs)

This is very powerful. How could any teaching or belief be valid? Be True? All teachings are symbols symbolizing symbols. From the most deluded teachers to the most legit ones. Words are words. Are they useful? Of course, if you don't make it your ideology. Are they needed to realize what is just True as it is? I guess not. Tell me a teacher/teaching/belief which delivers Truth or explains stuff without words. (Perhaps there is) The story teller creature is what humans are. Is what I am and what you are. Stories with symbols can never tell the unreducable. From now on I will learn and master shutting up for God's sake so this simple beauty goes on for itself. Nothing needed to say.

Would a realized being chase goals and have ambitious challenges?

@tsuki yes, im afraid. After waking up from the dream, i still live in the dream. I don't know how this will turn out to be.

@tsuki now i tell myself i have this ambition or that, therefore i need to survive. But what about after awakening?

@tsuki breath doesnt require a reason for me to do.

Maybe this stops some people with chasing?

Ironicly what I just did was some talking nothing more.

@Serotoninluv If someone wanted to know the ocean, he/she could stop talking about how fish are/aren't ocean and goes to try diving in the ocean. What i mean is talking can never be as actual as direct experience, which any teaching in words is just talking about it. (that might cause a direct experience) Yes, claiming all fasle all true statements deny some grey aspects of reality. Even non duality can get a "ism" and turn to non dualism. Is non dualism True? What I mean by "false" is not absolutely false. What I wanted to say was "not delivering the actual/absolute truth". You can open up Quran and find a legit insight. But it doesnt mean that the whole Quran is True. @Truth Addict @ajasatya @Arhattobe

@Serotoninluv All teachings can be useful in a way tho, but not true.

The first time for me was freaking beautiful and terrifying and the same time. Somtimes it has to be that way It's never enough, go on and experience it more.

I'm just curious about what is Real
