@David Hammond its like pissing in the wind with you. I give up.

@zeroISinfinity absolutely they do. They feel it

@David Hammond the breathing techniques are valid. They are a form of buddhist mediation. It works. But don't put a time limit on it. And it hasn't worked for yourself yet.

@David Hammond not the same thing. One day j hope it hits you and when it does you will be like "Holy fuck! That's what they were talking about!"

@David Hammond That's the exact type of mindset that will never get you there. But I'm gonna go meditate. See you guys later.

@David Hammond there is Both and none at once. Thats infinity. Try wrapping your mind around that. You can't. But you can be it. I don't think you are grasping what is being said here...we aren't kidding around about it. You can actually BE it!

@David Hammond David....he had a mystical experience in which he became directly conscious of Being. He became Being. It may have only been for a short time but it happened.

@zeroISinfinity he has not become the Absolute yet but he understands where the map is pointing to. That's more than most people get.

@Ponder A devil is an unconscious angel.

@Flatworld Crusades nice that's great to hear

@Truth Addict Yes i can. It is actually what brings me the most peace. I've been spending a bit too much time here on the forum..gonna need to dial it back.

@AnaCristina doesn't matter really. With OCD the obsessive thoughts aren't real. They're self deception. They pop up out of nowhere, often from certain triggers within the subconscious that are really hard to figure out.

@Leo Gura

@Buba Enlightenment will liberate you from the obsessions but it will only be during the mystical experience. Mystical experience isn't even the right word. The right words are direct consciousnes of God. Being God. Apon return to duality you will linger between states for some time and still enjoy the bliss and the lack of obsessions. But ultimately as you return to the Ego the obsessive thoughts will return..but they will be lessened. You have tapped into Infinite Intelligence. Your consciousness will be raised a thousand fold. But you must continue the work. Make it your life's work and become more and more in tune with Being. The more aligned with God the less the obsessions and the happier you are. Additonal mystical states may be required to completely remove them but it is possible. Afterall, we are talking about Absolute Infinity.

@lennart wanna know why? Because you were just being. Your mind wasn't conceptualizing everything like it does now You were closer to Being as a child than you ever were as an adult. That's why the return to Being is so liberating. Become the Absolute.

@abrakamowse you have a lifetime. Be patient. Im 48. I know i dont look it i have a baby face. But it happened at 48. I had a lifetime of egoic suffering. Stumbled on Leo for an alcohol addiction. Started doing self inquiry and it happened about a few weeks in of meditation. It's real. It's moving thru me now. Just be in the moment and let the illusion of free will take you where it will. You're intuition is pointing you there. It will happen when the time in your life is right. But it will happen otherwise you were not meant to be on this site right now.

@Conrad you are one Enlightened motherfucker.

@Markus you wouldn't be posting this if you were in a non-dual state. Are you saying you are transitioning to the ego and back to God a couple of times within a few weeks? What have you become conscious of?

@Truth Addict This one is hard to answer on an internet forum. But from my personal experience anything i have ever achieved in my life i have had to devote all my time to. But it was out of pure passion to accomplish that goal. What I'm saying is that if you want it bad enough you just will make it a priority in your life without thinking. It will just happen effortlessly. So how bad you want it? Thats what it all comes down to in life. Well, in the life of duality of course Oh and yeah...fuck yeah it's worth it. It will melt you. Literally.

@Ponder Ponder you are not enlightened my friend. I've been reading your posts this past week and you have hit non-dual states for sure..and you are a very intelligent guy with fairly high consciousness levels but you did not become conscious of Absolute Love yet. And your notions of coral are all screwed up if there is a coral.

@Conrad God = Certainty Ego = doubt

@tedens i think that really is the underlying cause for things like OCD. Irrational doubts. In his case his Ego is doubting enlightenment because it is fighting change and because the ego is a self deception machine. It's a big ego trap that can get a lot of people stuck in this work.

@abrakamowse yeah that's a tough one especially coming from the Materialist Paradigm our whole lives. I know what Leo would say right now. 5-Meo would push right through that doubt and overwhelm the ego in seconds. If you let go to it.

@abrakamowse one thing to add is there can be a healthy form of doubt which leads to skepticism. in searching for truth Rene Descarte had doubts about anything and everything which led him to question everything but in a good way. He pondered the Mind/Body problem which is where that term came from. He eventually dismissed it off and didn't dig far enough but that was all healthy doubt leading to skepticism. His saying was "I think therefore I am!" Meaning the only thing he didnt doubt was his own mind..which turns out was a bad idea!

@Aaron p from a non-dual perspective yes..but we are talking about from a duality perspective.
