This is great. Noticing when you have been unconscious is the first step. If you notice yourself being unconscious during, just accept that you are completely in delusion. Don't try to struggle your way out of it because that will only get yourself deeper into delusion.

Let the thoughts come and go. Sit down and lean back. Just observe the thoughts appear and disappear. Simultaneously let in all your senses. No matter what, the thoughts can't hurt or distract what you really are.

The questions are from mind. They are resistance. If a genuine awakening has happened you will recognize that the questions are only mind trying to figure things out. Nothing to lay attention on.

@MochaSlap This is how I define high and low conciousness High consciousness = Being aware of your senses and thoughts moment by moment by moment... Low consciousness = not being aware of them and identifying with thought. Being in dreamland. Everything can be used to flee from the current moment. To be used to push away "bad" feelings or to hang onto "good" feelings. Some even use spirituality to do this. So it's not a matter of somethings being low or high consciousness. It is how you use it. Is it to push away feelings? Is it because you are addicted to it? Can you still be aware while doing it? So be truthful to yourself and don't put any value on the things you do, but HOW you do them.

@The Universe If it's a genuine awakening there won't be any questions.

You just solved it! Next noble prize winner= @Dodoster ?

It could also be the ego. ?

@Shin Now you just need to find the YES to the no. Simple isn't it? ?

@khalifa The answer is within you my friend. Noone can help you make your decisions. Trust yourself and feel deep within for the answer, it will come in time.

@Memeito Why do you want to get enlightened and why are you in such a hurry?

You want to get there quick. You want to accelerate your way to enlightenment. But those are just illusions you need to see through. It's not something you attain or get to, it's rather losing everything and stopping. How do you get to right here, right now? You see through the beliefs that there is a future and a past. That there is something wrong with reality. That it should be something that it ain't.

@Seraph It doesn't matter how big your ego is because you transcend ego. When you see ego for what it really is how can that matter. That your ego is to big is just an excuse not to do the work. There are lots of excuses to either do or don't isn't there? Some personal development is about raising your motivation and ambitions, that is ego work. Other personal development work, like the power of routines, is just techniques to get things done.

Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing. My view of it is that the thoughts occur. There is no control over how much or little thoughts occur. If we give attention to the senses instead the thoughts will lessen in quantity.

Here I say the thoughts come and go but is there really a thinker, a creator of the thoughts or is that also a thought? ? Relax into the observing rather than force it.

It just perceives. It is possible to transcend the mind. Then the constant labeling of the mind will disappear and reality will start to blend together. The tree and ground will be one.

As we said before the thought appears in reality but the content is not real. So don't attach to the thoughts. Don't hold any truth. Detach yourself from the thoughts for a day and see what happens.

Is the tree really a tree? Is the ground really the ground? Is there really any separation between them without mind labelling them tree and ground?

Warms my heart to see that you don't take my word for it, but try to anchor it within your own experience. ? The thought appears in reality right? But the content of the thought is never real? If that is the case what is a tree without thought and words? What separates the tree from the ground it stands on?

Let's start with how reality is. It is the way it is right? I'm sure you will agree. ? How can it not be? What is it that wants it to be something it is not? And what is it that puts a label that says that something is good or bad or unfair or evil? It is the mind that does that. So what is real? Reality or your mind?

@Dodoster Is anything better or worse than anything else? What does it take for it to be better or worse?

@dice Look for any other teacher saying the same thing. You probably won't find many.. Because it's bullshit.

What happens after a genuine awakening experience? Adya explains it here.

@Stoica Doru Yes it's funny. ?And I get the same thoughts about people from time to time. A long walk in the woods is usually enough to realease those thoughts.

@Stoica Doru So what's the belief? This is not about them. It's about you. ? Is it about the importance to know about non-duality? That they should be in another way than they are?
