Are you sure you made any mistake? Anyway , interesting read, it give me some interesting information to look more into.

Getting to non dual state is nothing special , it will not give you all answers , or directions on how to live your life, even if it does in some miracle way, it has nothing to do with using forum , or not using it.

Yes, you can do it with your eyes open, you are not looking for image or object in your awareness, besides I think it is easier to notice when you are going in right direction with open eyes, also some physical activity now and then can be helpful too , to see the changes.

Problem probably is that she has not had day off for 2 months as you said, she just want to come home and relax and all this talk is just frustrating her putting her in position to deal with more problems then she wants to handle right now, I think she is already doing great on not snapping because you push her into conversation. She needs some time off, maybe this Christmas , or few days before new year she has free time to have enough relaxation, get some light drinks, some music in background to loosen up to conversation.

They will have to go trough their own maze anyway, but I think Leo last video was quite good to speed up process and to know how to get there, because even though you might come in contact in different ways, it will be difficult for you to get back to that state and maintain it without technique like one he was giving in video.

I read enough to understand, if only you think that reading few extra pages will somehow change me view on all the things I already disagree with. K, how you will convince me to believe anything you say, how will you change my perspective to let in new perspective?

Your thoughts are something that I would have wrote 8 years ago, it does not go beyond anything, I am not saying that social structure does not need to be improved, real problem lies within each of us and none of this will fix it as there will always be problems arising, you want to fill the void with something objective, when it needs to be filled with something non objective, objective is just extra layer that you can work with.

If you are k with your life that is fine, come back when it will change , it is hard to resonate when you think that your life will always be good and this and that has to give you something over the top to make you even to move out of your comfort zone, because that is what you will have to do and your life will probably be worse for long time, it is not some ecstasy land.

It is really complicated matter, both sides hold good values that other side is lacking, but it is not that easy as just putting them together, life does not work like that, I don't think you can have best of both of them, even if you can it would be hell of a complicated matter to even think of a system that would make it possible, let alone implement it in a way that it would actually work out as supposed. In the end it is all just culture and to be fair, old culture has almost died, only in remote areas it reminds to some level, everything changes, everything will have to change , new values and cultures will be born.

So you want to hear only people who will agree with you, ones who do not agree can go somewhere else?

I do not know if it has anything to do with lifetimes, but you have to constantly switch perspectives and learn, improve, I could give you most profound truths of good life, they are actually everywhere in this forum, one might see them, others might not , but they will give nothing to you if you will not truly understand them, or will have no prior experience with other perspectives to understand why they are so important. We all want happy life, but we do not want to accept happy life as truth, because to truly live happy life , you have to find why it is truth and it takes allot of time.

You did come in contact with very important thing,unfortunately you do not see why it is that important, just as child does not see it.

I have no clue what I am talking about, but I will debate for sake of debate, universe is expanding in speed that is faster then light speed, so it is only normal that you will not see new stars, you will see less and less stars.

This is so funny! I hope we will not have to many casualties on Christmas. Anyway, finding this true self will not resolve your problems, actually it can cause more problems if you are not ready.

There is very good reason why some people say that children are closest to "TRUTH", or correct approach to life, but problem is that without wisdom their natural being gets corrupted with time, you need wisdom for it to not get corrupted.

It is reasonable, just reasoning is not reasonable, that is like taking people and just dividing them in 3 groups without looking in reasons why each of them ended in that group.Anyway realization of self is nothing special, being wise is million times more important then seeing "self".

Do you even know what is Enlightenment? Let me put it like this, most of Enlightened gurus if put in public , without anyone knowing who they are would look insane.

Ask Leo!

Everyone has issues , traumas, do not know single person who does not have any Sure he can go have a check on his health , but you know , you must be careful to whom you go , or else you will be put in mental health institute. I am not against asking questions, I am against making assumptions that he did not have real experience, because when you do , you somehow become superhuman, perfect, know everything on how to behave to not attract attention ,etc, it is new experience to him, it is completely normal to be confused and even act strange because you see things differently.

He is probably k , most of people here talk some bs, it is completely normal that he is confused on this new experience, which attracts attention to him as he does not know how to go on his daily life like before, your actions are reason why you make them notice you and make you look strange , I am not sure what you are doing , but clearly there is something that makes you look crazy.

Yes, ask yourself , who is the one who is afraid, your brain will be to busy focusing on question subconsciously, that it will forget about emotions, situation, but it is just trick to take focus of one thing to another.

Well , being strong voiced against people in family can help to be at the top, but it will not fix your mothers toxicity, she will just be way less toxic to you, she might even care about you way more then before, that is just human nature to respect and attach to strong, it seems like way less effort to deal with strong people, as they can take care of them self, so taking, making action on them feels way less draining I think Just do not give up on her, she is just very unhappy at the moment about everything, she is actually the one who needs help the most, to fix it she needs to find happiness and unfortunately I do not know what she is missing.

Reason why you are afraid to look into thous issues is your ego, you are well aware of things that happened, but for ego it is big no , no , as it would make you look weak, stupid, idiot or any other idea that your ego does not want to label himself with and when he does not want to label himself with any of it, when you have a look in any of these incidents, your ego will automatically starting making excuses, there is really no one way for dealing with all of the issue , each of them needs its own approach in proper manner, I can not give you sound advice on how to deal with issues as one approach can contradict another.
