  2. Noticing it afterwards is all that is needed for it to unravel.

    Some great shares here. Thank you everyone. ☺ here is my contribution.
  5. A man went to a monastery and knocked on the door. The master of the monastery opened and let the man inside. He could see the monks inside a window. They were all meditating. -I want to become a monk, said the man -Thats nice, said the master, but why are you here? -Because I want to become a monk in THIS monastery! Said the man. -Sorry. We dont have any monks here. -But I saw monks in that window over there. -Those are not monks. -But they were all meditating? -Come I'll show you. The master replied They went inside, up the stairs and into the big room. There they all sat, eyes closed, in total silence. -See there they are said the man. -MOOONKS!!! The master yelled. All the monks turned there heads and looked at them. -See! No monks. The master said and started leading the man outside the monastery. -But... they all turned there heads??? Said the man -Exactly... the master sighed.

  6. Born Enlightened?

    WelcometoReality replied to Brian Greendahl's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God

    Could it be that everyone is born enlightened and when we become conscious of ourself, we start believing that we are the body, the mind and the identity? ☺
  7. Wise words. Enlightened or not, enjoy your life. Every moment of it. If you can't enjoy a certain moment ask yourself why. Nothing else is needed.
  8. @Jawor The ego is not something that is destroyed, it is transcended. "Enlightenment" is simply the realization of what you really are, which is not the personality.
  9. @christianblake Doing nothing meditation is about dropping the control of your attention. This in other words means surrendering that control. You use the word willpower but it has about the same meaning as control. Other meditation techniques such as strong determination sitting are used to disindentify yourself with thought. Which will increase your "willpower".
  10. @cnorhistorian Thank you! ☺
  11. @Ayla Love it!
  12. @cnorhistorian Could you define what "enlightened" means to you?
  13. @cnorhistorian It would be interesting to hear the findings of your search.
  14. "The ego is fired but he keeps showing up for work"
  16. "I" used to play games a lot in the past. It was used as an escape from dealing with "my" emotions. Escaping from reality more or less. It hurt me more in the end to try to escape them than meeting them head on. Have you tried sitting with yours?
  17. I just watched Leos video about strong determination sitting since it's been a lot on this forum lately. I started experiencing the flow of life and not much choice arises in the normal day to day life, but when I had watched the video the choice of doing a sitting or not arose. Usually choice arises when the ego is resisting in one way or another. There was a fear arising towards doing a sitting and therefore I've decided that I'm going to do one. Hopefully a lot of ego stuff will emerge to the surface. I don't do meditation or sittings in the classical sense and wonder what to consider when doing such a long sitting.
  18. @Huz88 crosslegged on the floor. Slippers on for supporting the ankles. A blanket over the legs. @Saitama it's probably not allowed. It's moving right?
  19. @StonerLord I wish I could give you an answer. I don't meditate on a daily basis. @TwoDays It's just thought. If "I" had identified with the thoughts "I" would have stopped the sitting. "I" believed "I" had awakened but it was just an experience that "I" had grasped and identified with.
