Simple. Most people already think they know what reality is.

If you are a wage slave or hell if you have a business to maintain, good luck meditating that many hours a day. This olympic meditators it seems it's the only thing they do. Kinda challenging if you are not in that privileged position

That's such a radical different perspective from the usual mainstream seduction culture has taught us. (Not referring to PUA advice of course, just mainstream knowledge, movies, etc). Thanks for sharing those clear "advices" Leo ?. Will make us waste less lot of time and energy ?

It will depend on the prison. If you go to some third world or even some USA prison, 90% of your time will be spent on survival. So your intention of being a zen meditator will not be possible. Lets not even talk about the bad nutrition also will make you just not be in the best optimal conditions for meditation. If you go to a sweden prison, maybe it´s possible.

To the one who reads me, i don't know if you are real. I still haven't sort out if there are other POVs out there experiencing reality or is it me all alone right now ,but anyways, if "you" do exist, i want to send a love letter to you. My love letter is, we are playing the same game. It's a love letter because, Since I know you are awareness, i know that, regardless what the character you are playing, you are actually the Awareness being aware of everything. Of the music that sounds, of the colours that appear. Of the body that moves. Of the thoughts that appear. Of the story of the character in form of thoughts that appear (and makes you believe you are a "thing") So, even though we might be in different character stores (again, if you really exist, I'm not sure), the separation of who we were in my mind, have totally dissappeared, that's why I want to say you: i love you. You are awareness as me. I know "what you do", i know "your secrets" so to speak. Which is, being aware, lol! There are no humans or selfs that haven't lived anything. Those are appearances in the movie. Only "we" exist. Which is awarenes .We are the same being. Signed: You.

The hell of being identified with thoughts is also a feature? I always ask myself, why not everyone was born enlightened?

@snowyowl Suppodsedly its like a dream. Awareness or Consciousness it´s projecting apparent "forms" into a distance. So in the practical sense, it´s useful to make a duality betwen the content of the screen (forms) and the creator of the screen. In the absolute sense, there is no distance. But in the illusion of taking a form it definetely seems like it. If not you couldn´t know what is music or colour. If there wouldnt´t be a separation.

It's simple. Awareness is aware of thought

Very good, thanks for sharing The mindfuck is that only the illusory self has attachment. Awareness just is aware of everything. Attachment is not something awareness has to be concerned with. When a sound happens, awareness is aware of the sound. It doesn't matter if awareness "wants" to be aware of the sound. It will automatically be aware of it. So awareness doesn't have free will in this aspect. Is open to anything. Even to the illusory self who seems to be attached to certain things.

@Nahm yeah man, i mean I just kind can't stop sometimes. I find relieving that even when there it seems to be that i am talking to myself, there is the awareness that is watching *even the identification. Also, and it's what I find truly weird, someday I ll just meditate and be very peaceful. But other times I won't meditate and be very identified. Yet it seems that there is an "acceptance" to the moments of being identified. As an anecdote, today I was walking down a beautiful river through the forest. I just stopped to get a little leave with my fingers. I started looking at the leave, and a powerful contemplation arised. I just asked myself, is there any reason to give more importance to the concept of myself than this leave? Suddenly I couldn't answer that question. Maybe the concept of myself is not more important than any *object i came up upon in reality. Like, the concept of myself and the leave both appear in my awareness. I am choosing to give more importance to the thought "I". So that was very nice. But...not sure why I keep "forgetting".

No, it seems like an illusion :tumbs up

@Nahm Yeah no, i am pretty happy with my discoveries thought. There is more freedom and joy in my daily life for sure. Why you call "beating yourself up" being a seeker thought? If I have still fear of death is clear i haven't woken up. Of course "I" won't get it. God will get it. But once God gets it the "I" will have a context to let go. You guys are able to let go because your Awarenesses have woken up enough so you guys have a context of the truth. Even though the map is not the territory. Am I wrong?

@Nahm Well if I would do that i would consider more the possibility of parallel universes. Being honest, i think i don't really care if I am alone or not, i just want to know the total truth. Knowing that i am awareness but not knowing how I am creating exactly reality and how the pieces of the puzzle fit is kind of frustrating Lol Precisely because it doesn't really let me let go of the fear of death of the character/self

@The Don Well yeah, awareness is all that exists. God, me. Etc. Seems too radical to accept it though. So at least me I keep believing there's such a thing as parallel universes or some shit like this to reassure myself there exists things outside my existence and I'm not just taking to myself all the time.

I don't find that brilliant the possibility that I might be talking to myself and you are imaginary. Seems like the endless solipsism question never ends . And I'm starting to get tired of it tbh ?

Holy shit. That gave me chills

No, i can't see it. How the fuck do I see that?

@mandyjw Fuck me, i just had a deep dream where I was with my family explaining them Enlightement. I was saying to my aunt "see that 'object' in the distance?. Your mind is saying 'table, distance...etc Notice that these are words you learned. Nothing else. Is just labeling. There is actually no distance between that 'object'. So I was labeling myself ? Why do I keep having this fucked up dreams. When I wake up it only reminds me I was just explaining Enlightement to myself. My aunt was imaginary.

@Keyhole We might have different personalities then. If I would be listening on my headphones, if someone stops me to tell me something I would gladly interact with them (doesn´t matter if its women or men. Of course unless they want to sell me something lMAO). Like, a human interaction is something more scarce and imo valuable than listening to a song or a podcast that i can do the rest of the day unlimited times. But maybe that´s just me because I´m naturally extroverted and a lot of people just don´t like humans that much Lol. Although I don´t understand how wearing headphones is a signal to leave a person alone

@Nahm How so?

Some days I won't just find interesting any girl. Like no matter how physical attractive she is i will just go "meh" However other times like today I saw such a hot girl just now and it's indescriptible the amount of frustration and pain I feel when it happens. It's like she is so fucking hot and beautiful I just want to die (or course I know I should approach her but not always it's the right time and especially right now it's a little tricky with the pandemic) But like I said. It's so painful.. It might help to say that I'm a virgin so I might idealize too much the opposite sex (could it be that? ) so don't be too harsh on me . I'm currently working on my social skills and pick up but I'm a little on hold due to covid. Just wanted to ask if it's normal to feel this when you see a very hot girl and especially if this will go away once I start to get laid.

How is the afterglow? How much your ego has come back? @How to be wise can't unquote sorry

@Keyhole Thats exactly why I find your message promoving anti-social behavior. In a world that we are already deeply disconnected by social media and internet addiction. Sure, let's get even more frightened of interacting with each other because "i hope I don't disturb the other person". The issue is here is that for some weird reason you don't like that pick up is a thing. So you project your negativity in all of this kind of topics behind a curtain of saying a logical argument. Just approach being natural, expressing what you want to say to her. Become vulnerable and feel. Doesn't matter much what you say, but rather how confident and loving you are being in each second of yourself. What you do or say will only be a result of your internal attitude towards yourself. When you approach are you loving and accepting yourself or are you judging and hating yourself? At the end of the day it's all what it boils down to

@Keyhole Yeah sure, everybody that has headphones on is always because they are in total bliss and super-concentrated and not because they are as bored as fuck so they put up some music Lol.

Beginning only makes sense if you think of consciosuness as a finite thing that happens in time.
