  1. @Displayname You are re-thinking your original direction. Do you feel like it's not working for you but your working for it? Myself as a home builder , I gotta say go with the affordable housing. Maybe that's just me because that was always my personal passion. Creating and designing safe and affordable homes that a family can live in. It's wonderful and fulfilling to see that transformation happen before your eyes. When the job is finished and you drive away the last time knowing that a family will spend many happy days together in this home. No regrets here. And housing is changing drasticly too, tiny houses, earth housing, portable housing, container housing, even a house that has a greenhouse built around it.
  2. Keep going. Any meditation is better than none. Just stay with it. " Meditate for 20 minutes twice a day unless your very busy- meditate for an hour" as the old saying go's.
  3. It sounds as if your looking at this as if a "you" will be in a place that is infinite. That would be a very bleak picture from the perspective of mind. A hell of sorts because "you" are in it. Such a place exists only in the mind. Mind or "You" exist within time and space. Existence, from the perspective of mind is also happening within time and space. Infinity has no time or space or "you". That is what makes it infinite. Maybe you had a brief glimpse of infinity, I don't know. But it sounds like your mind than placed itself into that picture after the experience? That is what doesn't fit. Your mind is trying to place it's familiar constructs of time and space (and you) into a field that has no time or space or "you". When "You" become totally non-existant, that's infinity. **I refrained from using the term "eternity" because that implies time. That is a religious idea of an afterlife and something I personally could never except when I was growing up. I don't care how much one likes harp music, you wouldn't want to have to listen to it 24/7 for all eternity.
  4. @All_Around_Me That's cool, languages, multi-lingual.
  5. @All_Around_Me Your gonna do just fine! What is your passion? What comes to you with no effort?
  6. @All_Around_Me Meditation and self inquiry are fantastic tools for finding your life.
  7. What a great place to hide it! Where nobody would "think" to look.
  8. @WelcometoReality That one found me this morning and great way to start the day.
  9. Great exercise. Looking deeply into duality. In your statement above you explored both options. Good choice.
  10. @tomasCZ @tomasCZ The seed was planted even though your mind was not willing to except it and suddenly everything settled in of it's own doing. The mind searching for it will never find it. It always alludes the mind. You found the key by not looking for it. That is the key.

  12. @vizual I was just reading your post and something funny hit me, "Put a leash on that dogma"
  13. "A fearful man dies a thousand deaths, a brave man but one" (no- self doesn't die once )
  14. @tomasCZ See the mind for what it is-mind. Than use the mind as a master craftsman uses a tool. Learn to trust what is inside and everything will manifest on it's own. When a girl comes into your life (or anything), she will come into your life as if it has already been written. Let go and trust that everything is unfolding in it's own time. I understand this doesn't answer your questions. You already have.
  15. @The Village Idiot No rush to do anything. I'm saying. just let it all gel. Sometimes it's best to back off for a while and let everything just fall into place. The big picture will evolve of it's own.
  16. @The Village Idiot The seed is planted. It needs no help from you other than staying out of it's sun.
  17. @Lorenzo Engel It sounds like she got a good dose of no-self and it bought her to her knees. There has been a lot of that lately. Hopefully that's all it is and she will be fine. She may be confused and a bit frightened right now.
  18. @Wouter It's hard to say. She "grasped the ground" purposely? What kind of an obvious experience was on her face? She didn't black out or anything, right? Children experience this with no knowledge of spiritually at all. Anyone can when they are ready.
  19. How to close the doors of perception? That's a new one! How far open are they now?
  20. Thanks@Isle of View
  21. @Isle of View Did you watch that last video at all? How her experience totally changed her view. This is something that needs to be experienced directly by the individual. Me or anyone else telling the person ideas that are at best conceptual to the person won't help that much. It may be somewhatcomforting but not much more than that.
  22. So what is your suggestion for someone who has very little time?@Isle of View
  23. !@Isle of View Tell this to the terminally ill woman and NYU. I was actually going to show this video to my friend. You suggest I don't? As for me, I have no intention of doing drugs. I'm fine already and good to go when my time comes! But thanks for your concern. "Sorry for your loss"? A bit premature for condolences.
  24. @Isle of View I bought the emWave for my girlfriends daughter who is always quite stressed and also suffers from an irregular heart rhythm. I tried to get her to meditate, but she doesn't. As of now she pets her cat as a means to reduce stress in her life. Hopefully she will find the emWave useful because of it's ease of use, visual display and portability. It's better than nothing I figure. I was reading more about it yesterday and a lot of athletes do HRV training for optimal performance. They call it "getting into the zone". My daughter's fiancé works out a lot too. I'll let him check it out also. As far as my friend John with the cancer. The bio-feedback I was referring to for terminally ill people would be a long way off into the future if ever. As of now all there is, is research with medicine like LSD to show terminally ill people something other than a self exists. (See the bottom vid.)
