Can you give up control without doing self-inquiry?If you can let go of control without getting drawn back into ego then there is no need for self-inquiry.

I guess it depends how you look at it , source is beyond absolute infinity, because source itself is one who creates it and is always left out of infinity, making it kind infinity + 1, besides source is only thing that is real , everything else , is just sources imagination so to say, is imagination all one, well it does come from one place, but to look at it as all one or not probably does not matter.

Why do you think that you must go somewhere, first get to point where you are awareness all the time, if you get what I mean, just being is enough, realizations will come them self and they will be completely out of context you can imagine now logically.

There is no such thing as 5 years after Enlightenment, first you reach awakening, then you start to awaken, don't believe that it is possible to go all the way in instant.

That was exactly what I meant by keeping awareness , knowing you are at every time, even trough sleep, it is problematic to communicate correct idea trough language.

I guess you are right, just wanted to clarify if I am not going wrong direction and do not get caught up in some traps.

I see, I will find out sooner, or later anyway, just wanted to ask directly if my conclusion is right on where it is going. So yes , it was question for my own path. @winterknight

Are you keeping awareness even when you sleep , to a point where you do not lose it when you go to sleep and trough sleep? @winterknight

It can be achieved trough allot of things, simply all your "agenda" will slowly dissolve , you have to start somewhere, there is to much information that makes you think stupid ideas, like you can't look for Enlightenment, as soon as you look for it you already went wrong way, although it kinda true, it happens gradually so to say, you not looking for it will be no different from anyone who is not looking for it, or tons of other information that is causing more harm and confusing people , then helping.

Agree and there is nothing really wrong with the video, there is actually something very profound and true about it , if you let go of desires, judgments, or resistance in closer term , you open doors for every possibility from personality standpoint.

Do you want to traumatize him?

I did not say that you do not need to mediate, at certain point you will not need it anymore, you will have had enough insights. Maybe the way how you do mediation is problem , try different ways, like lying down, not sitting so you are comfortable, First you have to build your core personality so you can cope with it, deal with your emotional problems,get past your emotions and be able to dissolve negativity that you create, or just be alright with whatever that comes at you. It is a long path, what works for me , will not work for you now, as I past the problems you are having, anyhow, your main focus right now should be dealing with personality issues, traumas etc, explore forum, there is all the information you need, just be ready to put in work and do not expect changes in week.

People to much relay on mediation alone, I do not even mediate anymore, real work happens in now, every moment , not just 30 min , 1 h sittings, But I digress , you can mediate for 50 years if you want.

Find out for yourself, there is no right answer , it depends on where you are at path and what problems you have.

lol

Can you stop your mind and just be, without putting any concepts of what is happening, now when you go back into mind can you see how mind makes concepts of what is happening trough awareness, or putting awareness to certain thing you are doing and making concepts out of it, oo I am looking there and thinking, oo I am looking and this, this is this shape and that shape, now go back to being without making concepts, are you really thinking when you look certain direction , or it is just happening. I think it will be good enough introduction into how to explore this.

Very vibrant video.

I guess if we are talking about being stuck in knowledge, then you need knowledge to get out, but if we are talking about pure being, it does not hold knowledge, that is at least what I think. But it is rather hard to explain, first you have to understand where understanding and not understanding comes from , prior before there being one.

Fairy, you do not have to believe anyone, its your reality.

I would not call it identification, as you are no person, no thing, you do not make judgement from such standpoint, but it does not mean that ego still does not hold any of them and they not get played trough in your awareness, it is more of a fact that you see them, but you do not feel judgement, Just as you do something and feel embarrassed and get drawn back into identification with this person , or you do something and watch it get unfolded in your awareness and do not see as anything embarrassing.

I would not say that identification with the self is exactly ego. As I see it there is this illusion story you and he is this ego and only reason to reprogram ego is so you do not get drawn back into its delusion that you are this illusion so easily.

High pitch vibrations/sounds do not mean that it is OBE , it is could be anything, it is normal to have such things in high meditative states. Were you able to move?

I thought you are bothered that it will make people buy into beliefs, for all I know maybe you are not.
