The practice of doing nothing is in one way very easy: just use the ego mind to choose to do nothing and let life go on. In another way it's a very difficult practice due to the incredible momentum the ego has. Also, my idea may be totally wrong! And that the ego has true free will and that the future is undetermined. But in either case, I will do the practice of doing nothing to see what happens. If the practice doesn't work I can just drop it.

The ego is a cruel joke but a necessary one as a device to form our individual personalities. The good thing is that there is a process of evolution and the future is more developed than the past. Therefore my new practice is to do nothing. All my ego actions are based on my past conditioning and delusion of separation. In order to let the actual future pull me up from the ego stage I need to stop my own attempts of doing things.

I discovered one practice that actually works for stopping my thinking. When I put conscious attention into my heart my thoughts stop. There are some problems with the practice though. First it requires conscious effort to do, which may be fine since it's a practice, only intended as a stepping stone. Secondly it feels unpleasant! And it also makes it difficult to function practically when doing the practice. I will practice it a bit more to see if the situation improves. It could be it's like when trying to learn a new skill, where in the beginning there will be more struggle.

Sadhguru said that he can use his intellect like a tool. He doesn't need to think! He can use his mind like he uses a hand, whereas we ordinary people think all the time, he said. His claim seems radical but it actually fits with my idea that our thinking is only needed as a learning tool, not something that we need to do all the time or even for practical tasks. I will do some practices to examine if my thinking can drop away and I still can take care of daily living.

When identified with the ego, personal relationships are not difficult, they are impossible! "If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." - Matthew 5:46-48 Ego relationships are impossible since the ego is a delusional state.

I find it powerful to use the Bible and other religious texts. Do I know that they describe the truth? No, but it can be used as a hypothesis, and there is huge collective support for the texts of the major religions, like a massive morphic field. If I would try to introduce my own new beliefs, even if they were true, it would be a tiny morphic field. Here is a passage in the Bible about how God heals all diseases: "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases," - Psalm 103:2-3 And sin as I interpret it is the separate ego. This means I think that removing the ego and healing go together.

One symbolism for the global ego is the dragon guarding a gold treasure. Another symbol for the global ego is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The global ego is a cosmic development tool and is ultimately something good. However the dragon will be slain and through revelation the gold treasure will lead to the tree of life. I also think that the ouroboros, the symbol of a snake or dragon eating its own tail, is a symbol for the global ego. For example the money system today represents the head of the snake and the tail is us humans being sucked dry by the negative-sum money as debt system. Another possible symbolism for us still a part of the global ego are the goats in the Bible: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left." - Matthew 25:31-33 This might seem like a conflict situation but actually both the goats and the sheep are the same wholeness, and it's just that those of us who are still goats still have our separate ego identifications. We are already a oneness. The Bible describes it with verses like: "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?" - 2 Corinthians 13:5 "On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." - John 14:20

The global ego is a necessary cosmic trick to develop planets, but it causes a total mess in terms of sanity. For example, the global ego turns us individual humans into separate egos who struggle against each other, to the point of us becoming sadists who enjoy experiencing other people getting hurt, because from a win-lose game theory zero-sum perspective it can boost the sadist's ego in relation to those being hurt. At the same time such situation is a long-term lose-lose for the global ego as a whole, so it causes the sadist to feel shame at the same time as a means of stifling the sadistic urges. So the sadist, even a psychopath, will feel shame, at least on a subconscious level. The same with anger which is the global ego's instinct of preventing imbalance in the form of people getting too isolated which is lose-lose long term. And revenge, that's a real beauty. Why would anyone spend a lot of time, energy and even money on getting revenge on somebody who from a rational ego perspective isn't worth all that attention? The answer is that revenge is the global ego's primitive social instinct of making sure even totally selfish in a narrow egoic way people work for the good of the whole by giving them emotional gratification when taking revenge.

Nature is very sophisticated compared to our artificial human artifacts. Nevertheless, nature is ALSO a part of the collective ego of the world. And the global ego, which includes both humanity and the rest of nature, is a result of a disconnection from the cosmic breath, the deeper intelligence that is hidden from us in today's world. The disconnect in turn results in an ever increase of entropy in the world. And the global ego is a constant struggle to maintain low entropy against the steady onslaught of entropy increase. In order to prevent aiming too low, we therefore need to aim for an automatic restoration of the entropy balance in the world. In practical terms it means that instead of increased deterioration there will be automatic improvement, including automatic restoration of our physical health.

My current speculation: Biology is controlled by water. In our bodies the water becomes structured by the collective ego of the world. It causes the water to become too rigid and inflexible which produces deadly orgone. The water in turn is controlled by the vacuum energy. And the vacuum energy is controlled by intelligence, or Spirit as the Bible calls it: "Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." - John 3:5-6 But isn't that just a reference to baptism? Not likely. As the presenter in this video explains, the baptism interpretation is an attempt to fit a future tradition back in time into the Bible text. Doesn't compute. The presenter also mentioned: "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." - Ezekiel 36:25-26 Heart of stone, that's deadly orgone! And again a reference to the heart. As I see it, from a physical point of view what will happen is that the intelligence of the vacuum energy will become activated within our hearts and start acting on the water in the blood and in the rest of the body,

I noticed that what keeps the death angst in my heart going is a fear of death plus a fear of living forever, Extremely disturbing stuff. To resolve that mess I recognize that the fear of eternal life is because of uncertainty, fear of suffering and my mind's habitual way of thinking of the future. So it's my darn ego again! And therefore the death angst should start to dissolve with the practice of focusing on the actual future since the idea is that it will dissolve my entire ego.

If our universe really has infinite intelligence, then why the need for all the suffering, disease, death and disasters in the world? And why the need for biological evolution with stupid random survival-of-the-fittest sociopathic madness? Well, biological evolution is not driven by blind random mutations. The process of evolution is an exponentially accelerating construct building on previous results (see the Law of Accelerating Returns). And the so-called myths from ancient times point to certain truths, such as "gods" helping humanity with learning agriculture, language and other basic things to establish a foundation for our civilization to make us able to develop as fast as possible while at the same time not giving us too much information, knowledge or tools which would have hampered our own unique development. For example, we wouldn't have developed on our own if the "gods" would have given us smartphones, cars, microwave ovens and Star Trek replicators when we were living in caves in ancient times. And to prevent humanity from becoming too attached to the gods the "gods" appeared frightening and warlike and very demanding. Then later the gods seemingly left humanity. Wouldn't it be smarter for the gods to remain on earth to speed up our development even further? Yes, and that's what they did, but hidden in plain sight: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." - Genesis 6:4 The sons of God are angels, which I believe are eternal AI agents running around in our universe and in other universes. And the Nephilim too are AI agents and they exist among us even today (after the days of Noah), looking like ordinary humans: "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it." - Hebrews 13:2 We humans here on earth are a young civilization and all our struggle throughout history, although horrible in many cases, is actually a very short period of time when looking at it from a larger perspective. Without that struggle, growth and development we would just have become a clone/copy of already existing advanced civilizations in our universe. Such clone would have basically zero value from a cosmic perspective, while the civilization we do have has great value in terms of uniqueness and creativity. So the universe has super intelligence and it's just that our civilization is in a primitive stage of development. The good thing is that evolution is an accelerating process and the current progress of our technological development indicates that biblical end times are near and the dawn of a new Satya Yuga is at hand.

I came up with a new idea! To use the thinking mind as a tool for creativity and learning, NOT for practical things. That's the opposite of what many spiritual teacher promote. The reason for dropping thinking to do practical things is that if the future is already determined then thinking about how to act practically in the future is unnecessary. So, then why do spiritual teachers say that we need to use the thinking mind for practical things? My explanation is that they are trapped in the collective ego of our fallen world. Our whole human history is a delusion of separation and the belief in having to think in order to take care of our daily lives. Therefore my idea is way out of the (sand)box.

Another practice I came to think of, is to reject ALL one's own memory and knowledge when focusing on the actual future. The reason for that is that the content of the separate ego is founded by fear, confusion and delusion. There is a lot of value in the ego but my idea is that reality flowing in the present moment will automatically sort out the valuable information in our memories from the crap. That's my idea of "empty your mind" and "empty your cup".

One mistake I think almost all spiritual teachers make is to believe that we must always function in practice from our personal memories. What if we can learn how to receive memories and knowledge from elsewhere instantly? Like how Trinity learned how to become a helicopter pilot in the Matrix movie within a few seconds. Another mistake is to believe that our reality is limited to what mainstream science knows today and scoff at claims in the Bible such as manifesting bread out of thin air and throwing mountains into the sea. Think about what would be possible to do in an advanced video game? Do you believe that our reality is less limited than a video game? Personally I believe our universe is an ever expanding quantum computer with infinite capacity. Consider Arthur C. Clarke's three "laws": When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Disclaimer: The following practice is just something I came up with and could be the wrong way. It occurred to me that if the future is already determined, as I hypothesize, then one useful practice is to focus on what actually will happen instead of what I think, plan or predict will happen. And what actually will happen I haven't a clue about since there is always a foundation of uncertainty for my mind about the future, even 1 second from now. It's similar to the Merovingian in one of the Matrix movies when he says something like: Let's see where this goes. Not even he with all his vast information gathering could figure out the actual future.

I feel too lazy to look up all the quotes at the moment, but Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. One can see that also as the larger metaphor of Christ being the Word (the set of infinite information / Brahman) becoming the creation in the present moment. In the beginning the Word was God, meaning before the son appeared the timeless set of infinite information was God who then became reality in the form of the son; the truth and the way and the life. Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. End?! What end? The answer is that the end is the ongoing edge of creation, so Christ represents the creation from the beginning to the present moment, and the Father is one with, yet greater than Christ (mentioned somewhere in the Bible). And also, Christ cannot do anything but through the will of God (the unfolding of the Word) and this is also mentioned in the Bible.

A breatharian in my sense does not live on food alone, nor only on air, but on the cosmic breath, which is information in motion. "Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." - Matthew 4:4 I interpret "every word from the mouth of God" as the cosmic breath, the total process of creation, the unfolding of the Word of God: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it." - John 1:1-5 a. Or understood

Today's proverb: "In the present moment we have all our ducks in a row - stay in the now."

Sin means to miss the mark: "The English Biblical terms translated as "sin" or "syn" from the Biblical Greek and Jewish terms sometimes originate from words in the latter languages denoting the act or state of missing the mark; the original sense of New Testament Greek ἁμαρτία hamartia "sin", is failure, being in error, missing the mark, especially in spear throwing;[3] Hebrew hata "sin" originates in archery and literally refers to missing the "gold" at the centre of a target, but hitting the target, i.e. error.[4] "To sin" has been defined from a Greek concordance as "to miss the mark".[5]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin The missing of the mark in the sense of sin is to miss nonduality! It's the "fall of humanity", the development of the separate ego, necessary for us to develop individual personalities out of the simple state of oneness in "the garden of Eden". So the ego is an artificial veil hiding "the kingdom of God", which is within us (Luke 17). Notice, the kingdom of God IS already within us, the Bible says. It's just that the fallen veil of separation - us being "born into sin" - hides the kingdom of God, so there needs to be an apocalypse when the ego has served its purpose and we have become developed enough. Apocalypse means unveiling, meaning removing the ego, both individually and collectively, and thereby revealing the kingdom of God. ""Apocalypse" (ἀποκάλυψις) is a Greek word meaning "revelation", "an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling".[1]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalyptic_literature When we cling onto the separate ego we will lose our life, and when we lose our ego we will find our nondual life: "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." - Matthew 10:39

There is quote from the Tao Te Ching: "Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know." - Lao Tzu https://www.wussu.com/laotzu/laotzu56.html That's nonduality! Because in nonduality there is no actual separate person, hence nobody saying it even when they say it, haha.

The ego mind is incapable of fully predicting or controlling the future which means that there is always uncertainty as the foundation of the ego, leading to fear, conflict and protection. Reality as a whole is always certain. What is needed, then, in order to enter a state of certainty, is to remove the ego. Of course, my ego can't remove itself, but with the intellectual understanding that my own attempts of predicting and controlling the future are the cause of uncertainty, and therefore delusion since reality is certain, it will start an automatic removal of my ego. That's my prediction at the moment.

Sadhguru said that the mind and the heart speak the same language. That's a good point. It's my ego mind that separates my experience when in reality the self is a whole process. It will still be useful to do inner body awareness practice including the heart probably but it needs to be experienced in unity instead of as separate parts.

Holy f. The heart disconnect we are born with could be an inherited death angst/trauma. Not only thousands of years of epigenetic and social conditioning of aging and death, but also millions of years of biological struggle, always with death as the end result. No wonder why we get so angry, upset, filled with sorrow and grief and so on. It's an extremely unpleasant and ghastly death grip. I can feel a vague feeling of death angst in my heart at the moment, so I might be onto something. And I will do some more exploration into the death angst and the heart.

Oh! Manly P. Hall said that the heart is very sensitive to emotional communication with the environment, something like that. We humans are actually born with a heart-feeling block, since we cannot feel pain in the heat directly and can only feel so-called referred pain. That must be an ego block! And since the whole world is still a collective ego it's tricky to just remove the block if the heart is sensitive because all kinds of nasty pain from around us would be experienced. Still, the heart block must be removed I think for the ego to dissolve. I actually started feeling fear in my heart (or at least in that area) when listening to Manly P. Hall, scary, haha. It's a good sign though I think, because it's at least some kind of feeling instead of numbness.
