The pardox is this: You cannot function in this world without you being you, so the killing of the Buddha is futile..... If you plan on being a normal balance person, The Buddha is the mind, the connection to this outer world. Just know there are levels upon levels beyond it, that words cannot describe cause your living it, and as the saying goes only a Jivan Mukta knows another Jivan mukta, but I know the definition they give of a JM has a lot of bells and whistles that is not true. lol

Giving info, I have thoughtless awareness, 24/7 Thoughtless awareness gives you the skills needed to get thru stressful situations calmly, and without thoughts of fear, but after reading the story I knew I had to begin practicing fearlessness, and I read the story 20 years ago. I've only had this thoughtless awareness 24/7 for the last 6 yrs.

I had one goal and no clue how to achieve it, only if I was true to my goal, I was hoping to be led, to achieve it. Started with only faith. "Co-Worker for God" As far as the above story, read it in a book years ago, didn't know what it meant when I read it, but I do now. I imagine you would have to have thoughtless awareness before you can get passed those dragon heads. lol

Basically, I was wondering why God didn't make it a living reality in all from the jump....thoughtless awareness.....

Day 1) the awakening Day2) will this last? Day 3) still no rambling thoughts Day4) I picked up some skills Day5) will this last? Day6) will check out internet and see if others are having this experience Day7) after reading, if from the east, folks would think I am one with God... If from the West, I am crazy for not having 24/7 rambling thoughts Day8) I can look at people places and things, without a critique Day9) will this last? Day10) a heaviness about me is gone, didn't realize I had it til it was gone Day11 plus 4yrs Can't imagine why God has created man and knowingly could have placed the thoughtless Awareness in all but didn't

God doesn't need to learn anything, but soul It's creation thats another ballgame, Soul is 1 particle, and must leave heaven on its journey to find themselves, so life is created by inexperienced souls who make up their world according to their level of hard earned experience....i.e. blade of grass, mosquito, dog, tree, a human, algae, anything , a rock a grain of sand, anything made with atoms. Life exist and it doesn't need an audience, but that's for another day.

Good luck

May not have anything to offer so don't worry about it

1) my lazy eye is straight as a arrow now. 2) people perceive a calmness about me 3) I'm not a god nor will I ever be, not that I wanted to be anyway. 4) I'm thoughtless without effort 5) I can think, and stop thinking, but the silence is always in the background 6) I'm still responsible for my mortgage and car note 7) if I screw up, the price still has to be paid 8) use to wish everyone could be where I'm at, but now realize each person is where they need to be. 9) everyday I wake up, it a brand new day without self induced stress. 10) I realize people have 24/7/365 rambling thoughts that take their attention away, even in a simple conversation, their only escape from this is sleeping. 11) I realize all my experience is who I am, and minus the rambling mind, I'm still me, but upgraded. 12) I am fearless, but not naive. 13) thoughtless Awareness, nirvi kalpa samadhi, sahaja nirvi kalpa samadhi does described this state, but I caution you, the bells and whistles part take with a grain of salt. 14) I can focus all day effortlessly, without mental strain. 15) I never followed the teachings of any known religion not did I read bout them til after I received this state, in order to get some sort of understanding intellectually. 16) knowing what I know and seeing what I see, this awareness is rare, only because who freaking knows, lol.

The word dream infers ' Temporary'. Using your abilities of awareness regardless of where is real. 'Life'..is not a dream

"Harley Davidson" Should do the trick

Having thoughtless Awareness 24/7 is not a feeling, you are who you are with the added benefit of the quiet mind as a undercurrent always, you can think what you want and you can not think and just be aware of the moment, moment by moment as you go bout your worldly responsibilities. Basically you're a balanced individual, who doesn't get carried away when the world or workload gets tense. It's not a feeling, it can be seen daily in the curious eyes of a child.

Life and learning new stuff go hand and hand, Learning is an adventure don't necessarily need a question to get started.

The Sun shines upon this World and ask nothing in return If you are giving only to receive something back, this in itself is a spiders web, you've created yourself. You can practice giving once a week and ask for nothing in return.

As you go up the ladder of higher spirituality, you learn to let others "BE", you give them freedom of expression, and you get yours. Who is to say that your friends are not giving you a heads up on extreme behavior whether it's spiritual or worldly, seems to me a balance between both is the lesson you're in,

Will be here for a short time reading others topics,

Be yourself, emotions are a part of your makeup, enjoy it's benefits, We were not created to be robots.

You have to stay balanced. A highly spiritual person is one who can find a balance between his spiritual life and everyday responsible for life. Does not get extreme in either one.

Self discipline and here is a trick I used to get rid of unwanted thoughts. Place thought in basket Place basket in a stream of water repeat if necessary

Your choices are your own. You arrive at Burger King and 60 people are there also, but each one of you have prior history surrounded by different people places and things

Watch an interesting movie, and realize that your attention will be focused on the show not your thoughts, P.S. using the mind to control the mind is futile You are an awareness unit, an should focus on everything that is around you in any given moment,

Life Life lives, to reach the end goal is not an option

Evolution is based on exhibition, we all want an audience As far as man is concerned, evolution brings you up to a certain point and leaves you the responsibility to further develop. When born you are at your highest development and you have 3 choices 1) stay the same 2) develop further thru self motivation 3) degenerate and be less than when you were born

The rock is unaware of it's consciousness The flower is aware that it must turn towards the sun The dog is aware but is unable to think, it's intelligence can be trained The human is aware and knows it's aware Basically soul wraps itself in bodies that comes with different types of awareness in this world, and each soul is limited base on the body it wears.

1) Be you 2) you can never be one with God 3) you will have thoughtless Awareness 24/7/365 4) Being in the moment constantly, does not mean you're not aware of your mortgage or car note payment each month 5) enlightenment the word is actually the wrong description... You are lightened up by the removal of the non stop 24/7 rambling thoughts that held your attention, and you were unable to experience the moment 6) God works thru you based on your hard earned abilities and talent, so choosing what you want to be is entirely up to you 7) religions have a place in this world and should be respected, you must have faith before you can Climb the ladder to higher consciousness 8) if you just be you, you are a hairbreadth away from enlightenment 9)only the holy spirit can give you true enlightenment, but the kicker is this.... You are already qualified to receive it, just be you, and act as if you already are. 10) psychic phenomenon is not spiritual enlightenment, i.e.reading others mind, seeing the future, etc. etc 11) Once enlightened 99.9% of all you read bout spirituality will be worthless
