  1. Imagine an apple and an elephant. Can you? Good. Now.. Make the elephant eat the apple. Good Where is the apple?
  2. In our depth of consciousness... It's worthless I believe. When one becomes enlightened... They actually understand it because of their consciousness expansion. We.. As egoes cannot understand the bible... If we do read it .... Well think of angels flying in the skies... God punishing us for not being "good" . That's what I hear from an enlightened person
  3. I am guessing that that the mind form existing after death happens.... Is what the Christians and the Buddhists had called eternal hell... Eternal attachment to your mind form. And you become a phantom living in false hood even after you die. "I really don't know shit about enlightenment... Im just thinking"
  4. i feel like getting answers are just like me masturbating in my mind. I feel like we shouldn't try to ask too much questions and try to get too much answers... If we want enlightenment.. Because enlightenment is about losing.... Not gaining "just putting it out there"
  5. Clearly this is something we need to know.... We dismiss prayer like its nothing in spirituality! What is prayer really?
  6. If God is us.... Why do we talk to it? Pray to it? I mean it's like we're a dumb guy talking to ourselves
  7. Leo, I think morality is really a great topic to challenge people about. It can help a lot of people who maybe very closed minded. I find that people look at morality as obligation.... That's what makes people suffer. Like... Explain why giving back is the ultimate thing to do.... I don't know.... I want to see your research and view on this topic Btw I loved the good vs bad. It got my Christian stuff out of my brain. This was the best video for me To open my mind
  8. Well.. Eckhart never meditated and got enlightened. And people in Zen monks who meditated for 30 years some don't get enlightened.
  9. Were any of these people enlightened? Can we get value out of philosophers of these kinds to enlightenment?
  10. I tried to insult my "spiritual" teacher. She didn't react... I'm really beginning to think she's enlightened.
  11. currently, you are believing in enlightenment. otherwise... you wouldn't be studying it. If you didn't believe in it like my dad.... you wouldn't even study it. so yeah I think we need faith. In the end... faith will have to be destroyed too because faith is a form of belief too. Just like you need a dagger to cut through the forest to the end..... but when you get to the end of the forest.... you don't need the dagger so you throw it out... the dagger is faith
  12. even martial artist... who are destructive art. (fighting) is creative and beautiful
  13. Hey... Is presence? What eckhart tolle Calls our true self? Or is it to just make us not live in the past and future
  14. But it seems eckhart tolle is a great spiritual teacher..... Makes it easier for us to conceptualize spirituality !
  15. I really don't know.... But in my opinion...although it's none of my business....just like there was Gautama Buddha in 2500 years ago, Jesus 2000years ago.... Whom were awesome teachers by the way.... I firmly believe there will be a more awesome teacher who is living and can personally teach you how to become enlightened in this current era. I have a teacher myself! Being a monk is like having the person who was enlightened long before who is dead now as your primary teacher. Understand..... He's dead! If you go to buddhist monks.... There really traditional, ritualistic.
  16. but I don't understand..... Then why didn't Jesus say God cannot be communicated? Why did he talk to God "why have you forsaken me", why did he feel angry to God? Definitely... May god might not be a talker..... But clearly Jesus and Moses TALKS to God. Very confusing...it seems God can surely listen....
  17. I believe actual suicide does kind of co relate. in terms of Eckhart tolle. The ego couldn't take it so it killed the mind form by himself. Where other most people who actually do suicide..... wants to protect their mind form.... so they kill the real body instead in order to protect the mind form (thoughts). the most scariest thing is... thoughts are left. Suicide is actually, I think, is the success of the ego.
  18. so the infinity is us.... nothingness, everything is our true self. And is nothingness and everything is what jesus had called god?
