Thoughts only have the power you give them.

@Chumbimba Think of them as mile markers along the path. Or as reminders if one strays off the path.

The thing about meditation is that it's all you and it goes only as far as your willing to take it.

By excepting change you will find stability.

@LfcCharlie4 I wanted to take this opportunity to share with the rest of the community what you told me in a PM. I thought it was worth sharing. Hope you don't mind. "Whatever helps people realize the absolute I don’t care, if it’s psyches, mediation, RASA, meditation, self inquiry, any method I honestly don’t care. all I care about is people Realizing there absolute nature and experiencing the peace and happiness it brings"

@Expert psychologist Why not tell him yourself? According to the info I see both you and @Useless folk are at the same location.

@Useless folk Is this the same doctor that told you taking 32 armodafinil pills at once was fine? Is this the same doctor that prescribes smoking salvia then comes to your house while you do?

Does one need to be happy to live the best life possible?

@Leo Gura The torture scene from Casino Royal "To the right-to the right"

Before the experience of the void from time to time something similar to this would suddenly appear in consciousness and it would shock me right out of the meditation. But at least I had some control that allowed me to pass through by conscious choice (surrender) when the time came and not being forcibly thrown into it.

I know what you mean. The image really doesn't do it any justice. It was blackness within blackness but yet it had a quality to it.

That's what I experienced in meditation a few years back and was told it was nothing. Maybe I mistakenly referred to it as "the absolute" at the time? I even supplied this image.

@StarStruck

@LfcCharlie4 Good stuff!

@Raptorsin7 I'm not bumping this topic any more then it's been bumped already. As I already stated I'm leaving it to the powers to be. It's not my forum and I don't write the guidelines.

That's exactly where I was afraid this was heading.

@LfcCharlie4 I'll leave it to the powers to be but as far as forum guidelines your in a gray area b-c it's a business for profit and your doing the promotional work for them as a 2nd party. What’s NOT Allowed: Self-promotion Coming here to start your teaching/coaching/guru business by leeching off this audience Discussing group-buys or sharing of self-help products or courses.

@LfcCharlie4 In exchange for what? Free RASA sessions perhaps? Is that why you promote it so often?

@Forrest Adkins Here is a true life story for ya. Ryan Shtuka went missing under mysterious conditions after a party in Sun Peaks Canada almost two years ago. I only mention this here as an opportunity to not forget him. At the time of his disappearance the search party reached out to the Actualized community in hopes of maybe finding someone with an insight into the reason for his disappearance. https://ryanshtuka.com/

@OmniYoga Here's three words: Silence speaks volumes.

@Jed Vassallo Was just having one of those moments that felt so right.

It's even past the seeker waking up. It's consciousness awakening for infinity.

Truth is there is no one to awaken to Truth.

Say that in one breath.

This does't exist in reality. Leo expects what of other teachers? To communicate that which is uncommunicable?
