What is intuition and how can i know that i reached a point that i can trust it?

The stronger the ego the most dramatic it will be if it gets shuttered. For example a millionaire that loses all of his money is going to commit suicide. This is the best opportunity for him to transcend his ego without hurting the body. Suffering in whatever form is the thing that can push you to transcend the ego. If you are able to suffer your ego is already strong enough. It is not necessary but it will happen anyway in your life so if it happens use it. Find the good in a bad situation.

@Moksha will do. Thank you very much for your answers!

@juvoci thank you for clarifying! I still have a question though. Can someone be enlightened but at the same time have a weak character? Or does a coward after enlightment become brave? Does this strength of character derive from self awareness?

it's one of the best books i ever read! But reading it just one time is not enough. I need to reread it.

If you have the booklist read the book about physiology. It's a great read. Everytime you practice this you get more grounded. Tolle says that feeling the inner body is very important. I have some experience practicing this and i would say the most important thing is to practice this as often as possible all the time.

@Moksha this is what i wanted to confirm. But what about understanding and deeper levels of enlightment? When you are mostly selfless why to pursue truth and understanding? Is this another fun activity you play in the game of life? Or is it more important than that? What am i missing?

@Moksha yeah wrong word. Realization is the correct one. I often see this word being discussed as an achievement. Could this be the reason that the journey is long? Doesn't the expectation for it to be long make the journey long? If now is the only thing that exists and living in presence is available to everyone now i don't see why this is not true.

@Moksha @Gesundheit do you consider this to be a difficult achievement? With years of practice to achieve? I had a very high experience 10 years ago just by reading eckhart tolle and using the pointers all day long as often as i could. It was a simple step by step process. I would like to live in that state again and create everything from there. Maybe this was an enlightment experience or maybe not. I wasn't god but i wasn't human either. This is not to boost my ego. Most people in here are much more advanced and experienced. That's why i'm interested in what you have to say. Could it be so easy that just some books and living them is enough? Am i deluded? If now is the only thing that exists it can happen only now if we choose to live in presence. Not meditating for an hour and then forgetting about it. Aren't we postponing it by believing that we need years of practice and 100 trips? I'm not talking about the deepest levels. I'm talking about the first level that you feel free, joyous and peaceful. If you have that then it can deepen by itself or of course with practices, psychedelics etc.

@juvoci what do you mean exactly by strength of character? Is for example having a strong will power a part of this?

@SpiritualAwakening why? I was watching a video of eckhart tolle some days ago and he was saying that this should be the foundation out of which we do any action. I believe this idea to be true. That's why i thought about moving it up in priority. As an ego my goal is to just reach a state of peace that can't be bothered by anything and plays life as a game. Still not my goal to go higher than that. Then other things in my life most probably will come in place by doing the right actions. Only when i'm there i can start understanding reality. If my ego tries to understand reality will understand nothing.

@Red-White-Light what i wrote is what i understand so far. I am interested to what others have to say and all answers are great. Not to steal understanding but to open my mind to other ways of thinking.

All great answers!

@Moksha My intuition started this thread and i wrote what my understanding is. I'm interested in your pov's in order to understand better. I haven't watched all actualized videos i'm on it. Just share your own definitions and experiences if you want.

@SourceCodo is this your definition? What is your experience with this? I don't mean how woke are you. I mean what did you actually experienced?

@Ajay0 @Nahm got it, thank you. I have some lifting to do.

@Farnaby that's true it's not always so clear. Sometimes it needs an investigation.

What is the process or the understanding that i'm lacking to actually manifest one million? What do i need to learn and do to make one million? I don't understand. How did you do it?

@SpiritualAwakening i guess this means to live all the insights ever had and not only keep them as insights.

@SpiritualAwakening i like this definition!

@Emerald i agree with you. This is what i thought also. But i made a decision before completely ignoring a strong urge to not do something and trusted logic. I don't regret my decision now. If i had trusted my intuition my situation would be completely different now. It feels that i made the right decision. Maybe it was the wrong one but i guess i'll never know.

You are right! Thank you

Very interesting stuff... I also had some experiences. I think that this happens often to people but there was some times that i was thinking the same things with close friends. Another crazy experience i had is that i dreamt when i was a kid that my mother jumped from a balcony and then her jaw was broken and then said to me i'm ok. Exactly the next day as she was walking she hitted hard at the edge of a low balcony that see didn't see and went to the hospital. That's not the only thing. At least one more event just as crazy as this happened to me.

@mandyjw i guess i will start with a book then

Thank you That's a lot of resources!
