@TimStr A good and important question...
The best and most complete answer is given by the Yoga Sutra`s of Patanjali.
Check this out http://www.yogastudies.org/wp-content/uploads/Science_of_Yoga-Taimni.pdf You go to part 2 of the book 3-12 or page 120-143
To my knowledge one of the greatest books of mankind and the best translation I`m aware off. A must for the sincere seeker.

In the West people are happy with the idea of reincarnation;`Great to have many lives`.
In the East they have a different opinion about it, they see it as failure to be born again. It means one is having left some karma and got to deal with it in an other, new life. This karma exists also in being born as a baby where one has to develop both body and mind first (!), before even be able to start with burning the old karma. Being born is karma and before getting rid of ones ego one must first suffer in creating a developed ego.
Life in this existence is all about karma.

Develop compassion and forgiveness will follow.
It`s not always possible to forgive a 100%, that`s natural. But with compassion, forgiving will be there.
Compassion is always running ahead of forgiveness.

I`m not understanding your point...
You and I write more on this site than Leo does...
Leo makes it possible for us to throw down all our opinions, so what about `complacency`?
Focus on truth mate..!

You can`t expect from your family to skip watching, they are the majority.
It`s your karma
and challenge to overcome this habit while watching it!

Transcend it mate, money should be kept in the pocket and not in the head.
Even if you are longing for more money you`ll have to transcend. Obviously your current position and view is not adequate enough, so transcend!
When you become independent of it, then it will show up around every corner you can think off.

All I know is this from The Art of Living: Manal Karrara, Cairo, mail: artoflivingegypt@yahoo.com

It`s a needed step on the road of development to come to those conclusions.
It`s a big step to see life as it is on each level, it always hurts.
Questions will come if you just stick with it, because you`ll transcend it, it`s the law of life.
If you want to speed it up you`ll need to do your spiritual work!
See it as insights you have obtained, even if they are painful.

Hi mate, can you tell me more about yourself, age, interests, passions, and so on?
-
@Falk Okay, so I misinterpreted this exercise.
I thought it was about the same as Vipassana, just keep on going despite all the discomfort.... So no, never tried it...
How to see this among other exercises and where does it have its place on the developing scheme?
-
Can`t see the point in hurting yourself like that.
Do some pranayamas and you`ll sit as long as you like.
Guess some folks only belief stuff when it`s hard to gain?
-
Off course it`s a valid observation, it`s just not important.
The question comes from the small Nicole, the bigger awareness is the more real, the bigger Nicole. The small Nicole, the ego-Nicole plays tricks to survive, that`s all. With more gentle practice you`ll grow into the Big Mind, the bigger Nicole.
-
Hi mate, you have had kind of a hard life you tell...
Just dealing with the mind will not be enough for you. Old impressions get stuck in your physical body as well as your energy body and your emotional body. Just meditation is not enough.
I would advice you to learn some pranayamas (breathing techniques) and do some program for your body as well, for example hatha yoga. In this way you will heal your complete self of past impressions. Dealing with the emotions will go by itself.

@MartineF Yes, all endings give raise to new beginnings
-
Thanks friend, now you made me homesick!!

@MartineF Just love happy endings..!

@vizual Actions change the world as well, though the intention behind the action is of key importance.
Your responsibility here goes as far as you are able to see. When we have to wait to take action till everyone is enlightened the world will be gone.
In freedom you`ll find responsibility, in responsibility you take action, and you take action out of love. The final consequences you can not oversee and are up to the divine. Karma yoga it is called, the fourth limb of yoga.
-
Ignorance US-style... Common words; brains, meditation or whatever, folks, data, instruments and so on.
Enlightenment as a take-away...
-
It`s usual. First signs of mystical experience called `nature mysticism`.
A big step and one you`ll always will remember. Good for when some hard times are arriving...
-
@Jay Brown An happy end?
-
@werlight You had lots of Guru`s during your life my friend, the first one being your mother...

Forget about it, the more you`ll watch the more you`ll see. It`s of no importance and gets you carried away to the relative world with its distractions and its relative values and truths. Weird stuff can happen when you are developing, especially in the beginning. See it as it is; weird and move on. People who get stuck in those events end up chasing aliens, visiting the psychic world and are in a developed sense, stuck in the magic worldview. Move on, something sweeter is awaiting you.

The paranormal is also part of the illusory side of life, which you are trying to transcend.
Be indifferent to it or ignore it. Otherwise it can become a huge burden.
