Someone here

@Moksha nice story.

There is no shortcut. You must to through the withdrawal process. You must put the damn cigarettes down. How? You simply put them down and face the pain. It's a choice between the pain of discipline and the pain of regret.

The cosmic Joke is you are completely liberated right NOW. Utterly free and infinte. That you are afraid of your freedom and you use fear to limit your self.

He was a disciple of ramana maharshi.

Full script of a satsang by Robert adams. Funny and liberating. Enjoy! "There is no certain purpose for you being alive. Think about it. There is no special or real purpose for your being alive. Why are you here anyways?. What did man do on this earth? What did mankind achieve even with all it's sages and saints? Civilizations are coming and going. And where are we now? We think we are important. Who do we think we are?. We get born. We experience a lot of stuff. We work. We gather a lot of money.. Maybe. And then we get old and die. So what is the real purpose of all this? There is no one. We are nothing. You have no reason to exist. As a matter of fact.. You don't exist. You never really existed. It's all a cosmic joke. There isn't a real aim behind you being alive and being here. This may sound like an insult.. It is!. But it is the truth. And the truth hurts. it is the truth and the truth hurts. You may think you are important.. that you have come to earth to accomplish great deed..or to get enlightened. That is not true. The enlightenment is already here and it doesn’t need you. You are not wanted by anything or by anybody. You are a complete failure. In truth you do not exist. The illusion of your existence makes you think that you are important.. that you are somebody. That is why we talk about being nobody so much.. there is no body. Yet, no matter how often I say this.. you appear to be real. You appear to have a body. You appear to go to work. You appear to eat and sleep.. and believe the illusion is going to continue. But as you know, soon you will be six feet under. So what good are you? This is why it is important to wake up. Yet, you are never asleep! So who wakes up? Therefore, nothing is important. You think some things are important. So long as you think them important.. you give them power, increasing the power of living in things... making you feel more and more–so called–alive. The beginning of wisdom is understanding that there is no wisdom. There is no body to have wisdom. The more you try to analyze things.. the more you use your brain to function on this plane of existence.. the more you put into Maya, into nothing.. into illusion.. the more that effort is inevitably doomed to failure. All your dreams and aspirations come to nothing. There is nothing you have to become or be. Think of all the people looking for liberation.. for enlightenment. Who wants to be liberated? The ego. There is no ego. (Laughter) There is no one to be liberated. Yet you continue to believe you exist. Awakening is a joke. Liberation is a joke. My sitting here talking to you is a joke. There is nothing to be found, nothing to be achieved, nothing to become. You are attached to your mind and its false beliefs. So why are you here? You want a teaching. You want a lesson. You want a mantra. You’re looking for a way out. All this keeps you back. Your searching.. your seeking keeps you back. It doesn’t make you fulfilled. It doesn’t do anything for you. Awakening is a joke. Liberation is a joke. My sitting here talking to you is a joke, for you think you have to find something, you think you have to achieve something, you thing you have to become something. This is what the scrip- tures mean by attachment. You’re attached to your mind, and its false beliefs. The so-called mind tells you that something is this way and something is that way, this is good and this is bad, this is right and this is wrong, and you react to it, bringing more problems into your so called existence. But, wouldn't it be beautiful if you could just awaken one morning and realize you don’t exist, that you never existed, and no one exists, there’s no existence whatsoever? Then where would you be? Who knows? But as long as you believe that you exist, you’re going to stick up for your rights, you’re going to fight for survival, you’re going to seek wisdom. It is all very funny to me. Even when I tell you to wake up, there’s really no one to wake up, for no one’s ever gone to sleep. To wake up you have to be asleep. Who sleeps? You may say, "The body, the mind sleeps, “ but there is no body, there is no mind. There never was. All the teachings you’ve been through are a waste of time, the struggling, running all over the world looking for masters and teachers, reading all these scriptures in detail, to what avail? Why do you think you need these things? All you really have to do is understand what I am talking about. Ponder what I say. And then forget it. Do not hold on to thoughts, to words, to messages. The reason the bird sings beautifully, and exists so beautifully, is because it doesn't know it’s a bird. It doesn’t know it’s anything. It has no idea what it is. We give it a name, “bird.” We could have given it the name “cow.” We call a bird a bird and we call a cow a cow. We give names to all these things, but these things just are. They aren’t here, they aren’t there. They aren’t good,they aren’t bad. They just are. And the same with you. You are not this and you are not that.. you just are. There is nothing you have to do, absolutely nothing you have to do. Think of all the years you’ve spent studying. Where’s it all going to lead? What will become of it? You may have altruistic attitudes.. believe that you’re doing good for the world, for the future of the world. but this world has no future. It never did, it never will. As I mentioned in the beginning, we have had millions of civilizations on this earth, they’ve come and they’ve gone. Civilization has surpassed where we are now. It’s all gone. What I’m trying to say is you can’t do any good for anybody. Everything is right just the way it is. Nothing in this world needs improvement. The improvement idea comes in to your own mind. You believe you are a person, you believe you think, then the ideas come to you, what you can do to improve the world, and you try, and you try, and you try, to no avail. You must know yourself as no thing. Do not look at yourself as something. Always bear in mind, there is absolutely nothing you have to do. This is how you become happy, peaceful, joyous, for when there is nothing in the mind, happiness itself becomes preva- lent. Awaken from this mortal dream. When I say this ask yourself, “Who has to awaken? Who is there who has to awaken?” The way to make progress… there isn’t any progress to be made. This will contradict everything I’ve said. Again, when I say, “Wake up,” ask yourself, “Who is there to wake up?” When I say “Drop everything, inquire, “Who’s to drop everything?” In other words, what you’re doing is you’re saying there’s never was anybody or anything that has to wake up or to drop. Nothing like that exists. There’s no one who exists like that. Can you see now why there is nothing to say, really? Can you see all the words are redundant, superfluous? We can play all sorts of games if we want to, do all sorts of mantras, Tantric tech- niques. We can do all of these things, but for what, to what avail? You just have to know that you are nobody, there’s absolutely nothing to do, and no one ex- ists. This relieves you of everything, doesn’t it? It relieves you of all responsibility to yourself and to the world. Again, what I’m telling you will not turn you into a vegetable, where you just sit on a log and contemplate your navel. If you're listening to me correctly, you will do whatever you're doing now but you'll be happier than you've ever been in your life, because you'll realize that it doesn't matter. You'll know there's nobody really doing anything. You will be doing the work that you usually do, if you want to do that. You will appear to be living a human existence, but you will know there's nobody left to do anything. The doer is gone. There’s no doer. The doer has been completely wiped out. Some of you still believe that if you become this way you'll become so sarcastic and belliger- ent, you will not care, you will not be loving and kind, but this is not true. On the contrary, as you drop everything, as you let go of all your preconceived ideas, your dogmas, as you forget all of your rituals and all the things you've been doing all your life, what we call love begins to function as you. What we call compassion begins to function as you. Loving kindness, peace, these attributes will automatically take over, for you have lost all fear. When you have lost all fear for existence, love automatically takes over. But as long as you fear existence and you think something's wrong somewhere, then the mind blows up all kinds of pictures, and you have to go out and defend yourself and do things, for your own self- aggrandizement. Never put goat’s milk in a wooden pot."

@Godhead " do it if you love it.. Or don't do it and don't care" -charles bukwoski.

no-self means there is no "separate" self. It negates separation by pointing out that "you" are not a separate entity existing independently from everything.when there is no "separate" self.. Everything is the Self. The duality between self and other collapses.

I already chip some money in the local organization of helping homeless.. Orphans and poor people. However these individual efforts and helping organizations don't seem to solve the issue on a deep level. As Leo said it's a systematic problem regarding how underdeveloped these countries are. The only long-term solution is for these poor countries to develop. Which is not going to happen in the next generation of the following one.

Yeah ironically these poor countries tend to have over-population and over-reproduction proplems. When it should be the opposite of that. So what do you think is the solution for the poor countries if it can't be a help from outside? What do you think is the long-term solution? And do you see us ending world's hunger in the next few centuries?

@Dodo bro I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. But I'm concerned. I'm being honest with you.. You are extremely delusional. I think you are hallucinating stuff. Who is "she" that you keep talking about? Do you see entities? What did they diagnose you in the psych ward? You were woke few months ago.. What is all this new agey bullcrap I'm hearing now ???? Take a break from this stuff and just keep it simple man.

Awesome perspective. I think that solves the dilemma of whether inanimate objects are conscious.

@Gesundheit it is exactly what it is. You can't get more direct than direct.

In what sense? Does it hear or see or feel pain when you punch it? Not following. Explain please. So is a bird.. But what is the difference?

@peachboy Is a rock conscious?

What happened? What has led to that?

@Dodo you could've killed yourself pal. Stay grounded. ?

Wtf bro. Take care of yourself and stop with the mumbo-jumbo please.

@Javfly33 lol you don't even understand what ego is. It's not something that an individual possesses. It is the individual itself. Which doesn't exist. I know it's mindfuck but if you turn your gaze inward you will find nobody in there. No I'm telling you there is no me or you lol . Crazy and ridiculous. But true. It's not my fault anyways lol.

It has no where else to go.. So here it is. Tada!

@Javfly33 My entire history as human is just a thought. Boom gone. Where is it? Lol Hard to maintain an illusion. The NOW is the only reality. Don't define yourself by your past. Your past is imaginary as is your future. No I transcended the ego long ago. Had massive no-self awakening .

@Average Investor @Michael569 @Ananta thank you are awesome guys. Thanks for supporting me,!

Bruh? Did I say something false? How cute! So if I said aliens don't exist that means they do exist because I was able to name them lol. I'm just giving you the most direct answer. To ask whether this is ego or not you are still stuck in duality. This whole selfish vs selfless duality. The self doesn't exist. And that makes all actions selfless because there is no self doing it lol. You might ask but how is this practical? Well it isn't.

1 - deja vu. You are talking to someone and all the sudden you're like "I swear I saw this before.. This person is going to do this now.." and sure enough he does it lol . What is this lol? 2-synchronicity. I'm thinking about buying this awesome car. I dream about it. I think about it all day. And all the sudden you find everyone driving that car! Wherever you go everyone has that car. Is the universe watching you or something? Playing with you? 3-dreams. Talking about night time dreams. We can talk about it as opposed to "real life" although you can say that real life is just another dream. But forget that for a moment lol. Seriously. What the actual fuck is that lol? You lay your head on the pillow.. You fall asleep.. And then you find yourself inside an entire universe.. And it looks as real as this one. Just your thoughts can materialize a physical realm of objects and people etc. Wtf?? And why can't we dream while awake? Why can't my thoughts materialize objects without needing to fall asleep first? Anyone knows what's going on here? Lol Any spiritual or materialistic explanations for these phenomenons?
