@Shiva you should indicate your spiral dynamic color "orange" ^^

Yes, do it. Popularity does not equal quality. I like the idea that people have to read for themselves, without being distracted by reputation points (members and posts).

Well, I guess the article on massaro makes me feel the way my parents feel when I tell them "I go to seminars to hear someone talking about spirituality and stuff" Sometimes I wonder if the most ignorant life is the most profound too : things going full circle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frqPh7jsv0w

I would think meditation is slowing down the light, so that all your infinite-self (fractal, hologram...) are reunifying with each others. That means, fluidity in the way you interact with all the others-self who are testing right now different possibilities. My speculations may be deluded, but I have fun writing this ^^ It's late at night here.

I went through a "tortured artist" phase few years ago, it helped with inspiration for sure. Then I dropped my personnal drama because it was not nessessary. I play with emotions, to set myself into a mood or something, but I don't identify with them. What if everything we do (including art) is mostly influenced by external things ? (non-physical energies). I've heard from somebody enlightened that these forces express themselves through us. If free will there is, I wanna fight for my choices (purposes & art). I'd rather prefer to visit higher places, than melancholia, torment, agony... we'r just a visitor. Egon Schiele & mandala destruction :

- daily meetings, 20 minutes, to talk about the goals & deadlines (short term & long term). everyone exactly know what she/he have to do, at the end of the meeting. the leader takes notes, and do a typed record (this is considering working full-time on the project, you may have sparse meetings if you are not working full time on it). - each person in the group is responsible for one (or more) aspect (s) of the project. the group may talk about stuff together, but the final decision is always took by the person in charge of this particuliar aspect. individual strenghts (and past experiences) defines who's responsible for what. spread tasks equally across the group (the leader have to delegate). - do a "critical path line" and x3 the time you think it will take. do a planning, with the different steps the project have to go through, and breakdown to each person in the group. do an excel document with a column for each person. uses colors in excel : red for "to do", orange for "work in progress", green for "done". - have a folder with a lot of references files, and discuss about it during reunions. - do tests, pre-renders, and keep an history of different versions (you can steal a music or footages from youtube/movies, just to illustrate the content of the film, and help the audience to understand/feel what the film is about. you'll replace later with the final music and your own material). - if the music play an important role in the editing, work on music first -> it gives the timing. - it's ok to have a residual side-band (see origami) everyone in the group cannot be at it's full potencial, 100% in. - giving encouragement always works better in the long-run. - a lot of stuff are fixed all along the process, things you haven't expected (see meetings).

Insight from last night’ dreams : the waking state is a dream in "safe mode".

ahahahahahahaha.... shit, wait

What are the things (mastery) you have put 10 years into ? For me it would be : - Cooking : it’s been almost 10 years that I learn cooking, by trial & error. - Ridding my bicycle : I have my driving license but I don’t want to have a car. I practice bicycle since I’m 6 years old (it was a victory at first, like every kids I guess). I’ve been into bmx as a teenager (vert & dirt), fixie (custom), and now route cycling. I do 70km on sunday from time to time. - Questioning reality : since I'm 17, as I was observing my emotions (and as I was discovering Eckhart Tolle) I question reality every day, every moment, every instant, every thoughts, every events… I’ve done that naturally without thinking about it, on a daily basis, for many years. Not just 2-3 minutes a day, but 70% of the fucking time. I observe things. - Electronic music production (breaks/garage/house) : this stuff is my daily routine, I eat and breath that. I began this journey on 2013, after 10 years of drumming lessons. I’ve spent actively the last 4 years researching and learning about the technical aspects, and working on pre-production. Sometimes it’s been hard times, and I struggle, but so much time & efforts had been put into it that it would be criminal to quit. It's a journey. - Others stuff : psychology and humans, but everyone does right ?

I've read they sleep on a wooden bench, so their mind never gets totally relaxed, even while sleeping (and not fall in one side or another). The goal is to "still" the mind 24/7. 4h sleep > 1h meditation/prayers in the middle of the night > 3h sleep. Check books like "The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep" by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, or "Dream Yoga and the Practice of Natural Light" by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu.

Bashar says the present is not a result of the past. He says we humans are used to "do stuff" to make changes happen, but it's possible to shift entirely in one single second. We don't believe we can do it, so we don't. It's like Neo learning to use his powers in the matrice ^^ when he's on the roof and jump.

Advertising = big tits *taking notes* Edit: no jokes, I once had a dream where an american businessman from the early 20th century told me an advice : Instead of trying to convince the customer -> "Describe, describe, describe..." (the product) He looked kinda like the guy on the right :

tell us about that

Whatever you do, you are always authentic. Ego doesn't exist. edit: I mean, the ego is worried about being egoic ? What do you really want ?

Awesome.

Everything is nothing. So nothing is everything. How could you compare non-duality ? What bothers me is : why do we play the "forms/shapes" game ? To be lost, and find back ourselves ?

Okay. It's supposedly a simple technique to raise and clean energy in the body (don't overdose at first, because it's very powerful). I'll experiment with this and share my results.

@Leo Gura have you seen/heard of this practice before ? Do you know it's name ? It's basically walking forward and backward, with an emphasis on the balance point. 10 minutes a day.

Can you search a pict on the internet, to show how the demon looked like ?

I went once into the void (after a REM). My mind was somehow anesthetized so I wasn't scared. My body extended to the infinite blackness, like still water.
