Peo

@outlandish i'm not saying i will do it now and no i have not completed 1 week solo retreat but it is coming. I have faith i will one day be able to do a one year solo retreat

I use similar technique and i find it pretty effective. I have even gotten glimpse of the ox, although i don't know how much i glimpse. I probably just glimpse a singel hair of the ox's tail.

@SriBhagwanYogi stay away from capitalism, too much left brain and science...

This is a question i have wondered for quite a time now. Some people spend 50 years chasing enlightenment and they dont achive it. While some people acchive enlightenment not knowing anything about it, just one day it just hit them out of nowhere. For example Eckhart tolle attain one of the deepest enlightenment. It just happend to him one night. He had no idea what happend to him before he looked it up. He went from stage 1 in the oxherding pictures to picture 5 or 6. Do anyone have a answer to why some people attain enlightenment faster then other people?

They thing your trying to say with the black hole makes logical sense, but i haven't understood it. If i truly understood it i would probably be enlightened by now.

Are you trying point me to the Ox?

@bejapuskas I'm still in high school and i enjoy asking questions

Do you guys think it is possible to take a DNA test to see what your strengths and obstacles are in this enlightenment journey?

What technique should i use when doing a solo retreat for 10 days? what technique should i pick of these ones: self inquiry, kriya yoga, do nothing or mindfulness. I don't know what to chose i really have a problem with choosing technique. I really want to hear what technique you guys mostly use at a solo retreat. Sorry about my english

@Nahm i want a enlightenment experience

@sleepyj Thank you for the reply

@NoSelfSelf What technique do you use at a solo retreat may i ask?

For me personally Self Inquiry has been on of the most effective technique for spiritual gains. Try practicing self inquiry

I have noticed that i am in peace in my dreams sometimes, but i don't know if the ego is gone while i dream. I can get emotions in my dreams like worry, fear or hatred. I do usually judge people in my dreams. In some cases i can get depressed of the content in the dream, while I'm dreaming.

@Shadowraix Thank you for this one

@Leo Gura I haven't done any Kriya yoga because i did not know it existed before now. I would really want to try this technique, where can i find the video on Kriga yoga?

yes i have experienced this especially after my first glimpse of the no self or enlightenment. Detachment is the process to enlightenment. So it is not bad that you detach from these interest. Your one the right path to enlightenment.

There is no best method to attain enlightenment. You chose whatever method you prefer. For me personally the method that has been most effektiv for me is self inquiry, but you can also attain enlightenment with other methods as well. Just chose one and stick with.

Thanks for sharing this technique, i wil give it a try. Now i don't have to feel guilty of playing video games, when i should do other stuff.

These videos will answer your question

The i or what you in defenition means what you are forever. Your ture self can never die, it has existed before the big bang and it will still exist when your dead. You should look for the thing that is with you forever and that never changes. Your perception and thoghts always changes so can not be that. I hope this helped.

I am having difficulty finding out what to choose bettween these two techniques, they are both pretty powerful technigues. According to Shinzen Young the do nothing helps with turining off your monkey mind for a while, but that it is a long term benefit. I have heard that the vipassana meditation is used to attain enlightenment. They are so different from each other so does that mean they also have different benefits? What do you think i should choose?

@SriBhagwanYogi I already have a self inquiry practice, i don't know what the meaning with this comment was but okay

@joeyi99 You know you can do SDS while doing self inquiry at the same time. In the video one SDS Leo said you can do another techniques inside the SDS like for example self inquiry and the do nothing technic.
