Being gaslighted is simply not trusting in yourself. Who are you going to trust if can't even trust yourself? No one can actually gaslight you because you are the one holding all the power. You are giving away your power to someone and then complaining about that someone using your power to gaslight you.

Suicide is not wrong per se, but it's sad because it's just a misunderstanding. You are not suicidal. Those are just thoughts and feelings trying to trick you. You are not those nasty thoughts or feelings, and you don't have to follow their command at all. You are beyond them all, perfectly good as you are. The body don't want to die. Don't hurt the body. The body is completely innocent in this drama. What wants to die is the false you. It's just a psychological entity that has temporarily hijacked you. If you look closely you can spot it, or parts of it. It's sneaky as fuck. But ultimately it's not even real, though it makes you believe it's very much real. It's completely harmless just pretending to be you. You actually hold ALL the power, you just need to realize it.

You are moralizing. Only you know when it's ok to lie or not. It's your job to make that discernment depending on relation, situation and context. I would say that striving to tell the truth is good. But occasionally it might be necessary to lie... Never lie to yourself though

There is no point to it. That's the point. You can't do anything in do nothing meditation. That's what makes it such a good practice, because it's a non-practice.

@hyruga Thanks. I stand corrected. I'm satisfied with the 22 I got

Yea but if you think it's complex, you ain't too aware yet either.

Nah. I told you I looked everywhere. All my enjoyment is right here. No need to look for it elsewhere.

Agree. I never found that sixth sense. I looked everywhere for many years. Then I gave up. Thank God. I'm now satisfied with the 5 I got. So much to explore trough them! So many smells, so many sights, so many things to taste, so many sounds and things to touch.

For me it's the opposite. When I take things simple I gain my senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. They get deeper, more enjoyable.

Hallå Hello

For me the forum is a simple place.

You can't maintain non-duality. No one can. There is no one in non-duality and if you find one who is, be it you or someone else, it's just more of your ego projecting more bullshit.

Stop telling yourself stuff in meditation. You are doing yourself a great disfavor. Do nothing mean just that. You should do nothing, not telling yourself a bunch off bullshit. Awakening is just you awakening from your bullshit It's real. Not something you should be convincing yourself about.

The contractedness you are noticing about people and your family is just your own ego. That's the virus.

No. But if you feel tense anywhere in your body, look into that. That in itself is work and some stretching followed by relaxation can help with letting it go.

The best awakening method for you is to throw out all the bullshit that you believe in. The 3D-5D split stuff for example is just more of your ego.

Stop with the maybes. And don't ask me. Go look for yourself. Next time you are horny. See what happens if you just sit and watch the sensations.

You are correct that you are mentally masturbating, but it's a great topic to explore for yourself. What do you need? Do you really need to have sex or masturbate if you are horny?

Eating, sleeping, walking, watching and exploring nature, building and destroying, sports and games, cuddling with a girl. A little more than a year ago my best friend got a son, and he gave me the honor to be the godfather. I've been given tremendous joy in watching the little life grow. Guiding him through life is one great pleasure. All above stuff are things I could do forever in some sort of cycle

@Megan Alecia No. Enlightenment is simply when there is no more identification. The virus that did the identification thing has given up and died. What then remains is just you. It's completely ordinary with the difference being that you are free. Free from suffering. Free from yourself There are however degrees of self-realization and there are lots of people and teachers that confuse the two. The first step towards enlightenment is usually realizing that you are not your thoughts. This is the start of the self-realization journey that then might end in enlightenment. @Someone here Is pointing you in the correct direction.

Most girls actually first want to feel safe and protected. They are then in a space where they are allowed to play and express the full spectrum of their being. Without this safe space they instead contract in fear. Of course there are girls who is still learning to filter for guys properly and does not know what a man wants. These are the women bitching about not finding a man that's good enough. On the other side of the coin is guys like you that are bitching and blaming women because you don't know how to create an accepting, safe space for yourself. You are living from fear and this is the easiest thing for any girl to sniff out. There is no difference between you and the girls you are bitching about.

There is no why. Humility just does not exist. Look for yourself. If you find any humility in yourself it's just masquerading arrogance.

There is no humility, so no it can't be forced.

First, there is nothing wrong with you. The wrongness is something you created. It's false. You are beyond it all and perfectly good as you are. Second. You are seeking to improve the only thing that can't be self-helped. That's yourself. You can't actually help yourself. I also had my self-help period. Thank god it's over. That suffering was overwhelming but also very necessary.

I would tell him that nothing happens when we die, and we will all die one day. Better start living now boy.
