@Breakingthewall why the burning butt and radical despise of Islam ? I'm starting to think you live in Afghanistan or something where radical Islam is dominating the scene and you have a complex about it . I'm not gonna ask you where you from because apparently you enjoy hiding behind a keyboard.

Great but wait a minute this means you actually disagree with me ..you're saying each year meditation becomes easier ..whereas I'm saying each years it becomes more challenging to sit still and do nothing because your brain rots and becomes evermore attached to mental stimulating activities. And we live in a time where everyone are constantly stimulating themselves with video games and Internet etc . Everyone nowadays is a mindless zombie.

Interesting. Osho also have said you can turn your whole life to a meditation process by being mindful with whatever is present without your mind or attention wandering. But I think this requires training. You need to be advanced meditator to do that .

You might be surprised but it's easy to have sex with a hooker In my country than to have a long term girlfriend. I fucked a bunch of girls and had phone sex with foreigners but having a girl to dedicated your life to is not easy and requires maturity and "manhood ". So my advice to you Is before thinking about getting chicks you should focus on getting in touch with your masculine energy. If you are not already..then become independent ..secure..confident..strong (both mentally and physically) and you will become a guy that women are attracted to. And they will chase after you .✌

@integral not possible. I agree with Leo the world is a fucked up place and this isn't pessimism from my part. Just stating some fact. the default state of any living organism is basically tension and stress . You are naturally dying and decaying. That's the path of least resistance. Inertia. So you have to put on constant effort to go against this decaying process and survive. This expresses itself for example in the constant ever renewable biological needs (water...food... Rest). It kinda when you put it into perspective.. It shows you that life is indeed a worthless piece of shit. But it's not an option to quit the game. To be or to be. Is the choice.

@Davino you want truth because it's gonna make you happy . Simple as that .

I mentioned many times before on this forum that I struggle with chronic absence of pleasure as well as anxiety. Now here is where things get to me. They say that pleasure (or good moods) aren't all that important in life and that there is far greater meaning and joy one can have in their lives besides their good moods. They say pleasure is nothing more than some chemical feel-good sensation and that.. For this very reason.. it is nothing important and that there are far more meaningfull and joyful things in life such as making the world a better place and other such moral obligations and moral duties. Or finding the ultimate Truth in the case of Leo. But what these types of people fail to realize here are two things. I will explain the first. There is a big difference between the idea of something versus the experience of that said thing. I could say to you that physical pain is nothing bad at all and doesn't matter simply because it is nothing more than a chemical response in the brain. But if I were to take a saw and saw your arms and legs off...then imagine just how awful of an experience that would be for you. As a matter of fact..I would actually consider this a form of mental health stigma against people who struggle with anxiety. They tell people to just deal with it simply because they think that anxiety is nothing more than some unpleasant chemical sensation in the brain. But little do they realize the actual experience of anxiety that this person is going through and just how awful and life-destroying this experience is for him/her. I take four types of SSRI’s. So you can see the difference here between the idea of something and the experience of it. So you could tell me all you want that my pleasure is nothing important at all..but little do you realize just that What you really after is happiness not truth . Because even when you arrive at truth ..isn't it the happiness that comes with discovering truth is where it ultimately ends ? Really think this through .

Yes I will . But read with your heart not with your mind .that's the point .he will say stuff like "you don't exist" .."life is a dream".."nothing exist but the absolute".."everything is predestined" etc..but you have to see if truth speaks via his words. why not check his words and see if there is resonance?

@Leo Gura OK Leo I understand your perspective. Thanks for the convo .🙏

You are really funny today .everyone has learned whatever they learned from some source outside themselves. Besides your own awakenings..didnt you read spiritual material? How come I'm speaking English right now when I'm indian ? Didn't i had to learn it from someone else ? Isnt that how all knowledge is derived? For a liberated person like him ..god doesnt matter in the slightest. What would understanding God do to you? If it won't make you happy then really what good is it ? and yes he was a devotee of Ramana Maharshi .he learned a lot from him. Just like how you learned a lot from Peter Ralston . The only way you will know is to know what it is that he was attempting to point to.but you seem closed minded and you don't want to give it a chance to read him unlike me I can follow Robert's teachings without getting sidetracked by his personal teachings and ignore other spiritual teachings like yours .

Haha OK whatever floats your boat . the gist of this teaching though is around liberation from suffering not understanding reality . So maybe you don't care about that . In his view understanding existence has nothing to do with awakening..which is about finding out the truth of what is here and now and not flying off into some ecstatic temporary experience that comes and goes. Truth cannot be something that comes and goes. And ok I know you disagree with this as well so i guess to each his own .

I know . It just gets deleted often after being uploaded by different YT channels. I'm not sure why maybe because his students wage a copyright issue or whatever. I know it's more than 2000 pages . But it's extremely beneficial. BTW are you familiar with him Leo?

Try this and let me know please. It works for me https://robert-adams.de/Robert Adams Complete Works - Jan 2012 - prev unknown files now dated and 1 new transcript added.pdf

Sorry for reviving this thread . Anyone here have downloaded this and benefited from it so far ? I really wish for everyone to read this man. I have not found any other spiritual teaching that resonates with me more than this .

bruhhh I think you need glasses 👓.

I've picked a new hobby recently. I like to drive my bicycle late at night and visit the cemetery to see dead people's graves.. I like to read headstones. Like it's really interesting. Seeing who was buried with who..ages etc. And I'm thinking that one day we all gonna be dead . Whenever I turn ..I see impermanence..death..etc. and honestly life as a whole on the materialistic level isn't satisfying no matter how you wanna slice it . Everyday you have to suffer from your biological needs ..and the more you age you gonna get sick and disgusted by life ..until you drop dead one day . I know what I'm saying is obvious but REALLY consider the situation: you are doomed to suffer for your whole life then you die . This reminds me of the story of Buddha when he knew that sickness +old age +death exist and that they are inevitable he freaked the fuck out and ran away from his position as a prince and went to the woods seeking enlightenment or whatever. I always wondered where we came from. And I made thousands of posts on this forum about this issue. It just seems so strange that all of sudden we're all just here. Almost like we all just spawned out of nowhere. We all are just born from nowhere and then we live 80 years maximum and then dissapear. It's so mysterious . I want to just say that if you are not serious about this work (uncovering deep truths about life and reality ) then get serious. Because the situation is really serious. Just think about your inevitable death but seriously think about it as if it was sooooo near .. the most insane thing that we can't even wrap our minds around and its terrifying beyond comprehension and its the most normal thing in the world. That's what blows my mind . If you are reading me right something must change in you .

No self is so limited. Like ok duh I get it there is no little me in my brain deciding things but it's just happening. OK I get it .can we move to the next level lol 😂? No self is only one dynamic of relating to reality. Let's say you going to have sex.. How to have sex? Well see ..no self and all this has nothing to do with having sex. Reality is all that you see around you. It's true that you don't exist as separate thing. But you are still living life through that particular human meat bag. And this no self is the last thing that the body mind need to do what is it doing and will continue to do for years to come. We all have had the no self realization. And it's completely impractical cuz you still have shit to deal with even tho you don't exist... So it's necessary to expand beyond that.

Oooooh the no-selfers gang of the forum are fighting

Yup it's mind-blowing mindfuck isn't it ? Most people create a duality between materialism/realisim vs solipsism/idealism. And no one has ever thought that both are true . How ? Because yes your conscious experience is completely sovereign. Leo once told me "if you no longer see or interact with other human beings for the rest of your life you will awaken ". And of course you know what that means . On the other side ..everything in your relative existence forces you to accept that the world has independent existence from you . Because you can't wish the walls of your room out of existence. There are layers of objectivity . This is no silly hocus bocus dream. God has thought out how to design this dream carefully.

..i say it could be a mix of both. And I'm so much leaning towards that actually. Maybe I should create a label for this state of consciousness and call it mine lol. Notice that everything seems correct from each pov. It seems absolutely true that reality is external and objective .all evidence points towards that. And at the same time.. all of that seems to be couched within you/consciousness. Notice that you can never debunk either of those thoughts no matter how you try. You can never debunk materialism, neither will you ever debunk idealism. So both are true .

Why does limits exist in the first place ? Ever wondered about this? It's simply because infinity by virtue of being infinite it must include finite things ...otherwise it wouldn’t be infinite . I don't remember which video but I remember hearing this exact point from one of Leo's videos .

I know how to reconcile solipsism/idealism with realism. Ever wondered how is it possible that the world seems objective and independent from your mind yet simultaneously it is a projection of your mind ? I know that . Also ..How should you act in the world knowing that none of what's going on in the world is your business? Like if you are watching a movie ..it's obvious that everything happening in the movie is scripted and its out of your control..you are just the watcher of the movie ..right? Similarly..none of what's happening in this world is your business. Then what should you do when you hear in the news about the fires in LA? I know that . If interested about something..just ask me .(this is said with humility btw . Obviously you are also conscious of things which I'm not conscious of . Nobody has it all figured out ).

Great insights. Thank you for sharing If you might engage me a bit ..how exactly is this known ?:

Well..you want to say that the absolute or the true nature of existence is not a "he"(or she )? Meaning it is not a sentient being like a human or animal or alien etc ? Well look at your own self . Aren't you a sentient being ? Why is it so far fetched to think the source of you as a conscious person is also a conscious person? In the end ..The duality between personal and impersonal must collapse at the absolute level because like I said its ineffable and beyond words . You can call it absence of limits..you can call it god ..you can call it "42"..etc these are just words . The thing which the words point to can only be accessed by the spiritual seeker himself. That's why different religions and spiritual traditions describe the absolute in slightly different ways..it's impersonal In Hinduism but personal in Abrahamic religions. Etc
