@andyjohnsonman Give faith a chance for the sake of faith alone. No concepts or beliefs. just giving everything away to total faith. Even the idea of the self give to faith. Experiment on your own and see what happens when you surrender everything. Who knows, you may even get a glimpse of the absolute.

@PretentiousHuman It is just don't tell the ego or it will take possession of self love.

@How to be wise Good realization. The less I know the wiser I become.

TM introduced meditation to the west back in the 70's. At the time it was kind of a fringe thing of intrest to ppl who had a first awakening with lsd or shrooms and wanted to explore spirituality but without external help. The mind set was something like " How can I stay at that level of consciousness all the time?" So TM was the answer. It was always expensive. I went to an intro course in the late 70's and the fee was about $500US back then. Today Dr's sometimes offer TM to help with stress reduction, high BP ect. because it's proven effective by the science community. There were just a hand full of mantras that where used at first but over the years they added more that were customized to certain age, sex, personality type by a personal instructor. My hunch is part of the reason they charge so much is so you stay on your daily meditation practice long enough to start to see some results. If they charged say $50 most ppl would probally quit in the first week without giving it a chance. With TM it's 20 mins. mantra meditation twice a day. Membership is for a lifetime so you can do a check up with an instructor whenever needed.

That could only be proven by your silence. "I am like an idiot my mind is so empty" Tao Te Ching. The book of the way.

@Serotoninluv Just say Yea.

I had a dream I was tied to post while naked woman were throwing mini marshmellows at me. I woke with something but I can tell you it wasn't an insight. Happy Friday!

God minus all the concepts like zero, infinity ect. is what I'm pointing to. Islam for instance has the right idea when they say God can't be spoken of. Let alone being described in terms of a mathematical equation.

@who chit That's just the tip of the iceberg. What is less then zero?

Anybody hear from the Op in the last 6 hours?

@SQAAD Can you imagine your mind being like a perfectly still lake? Well that would be w-a-a-a-y more thought then a Zen monk. Check out this story from Alan Watts @2:00

@Amun PSTFU?

@Bluebird If you were taking your last breath you'd love everything unconditionally. Live every moment like it's your last.

@Pouya A still mind has no belief system.

@QandC Here's a little fun fact for ya. There’s an expression, allegedly Polish in origin, that says if you learn a new language you gain a new soul. Bylund, who speaks three languages, does not go so far. He does note, however, “If you speak two languages, then you can sort of inhabit two world views at the same time, and you can flexibly switch between them. As a bilingual speaker, you can have two different time perceptions. That's fascinating.”

Even if everyone agreed 100% on one communicable truth how could you ever be sure everyone's perspective were really the same ?

@QandC No that's not fine. Everybody should have the same perspective as me.

Or choose your sex partners very carefully!

@zambize I just heard that. Years ago my boss at work was heavily into spirituality- TM. He would only eat cheese, fruit, veg. nuts ect. I remember one day I was going to a deli to get a sandwich for lunch and he asked if I could p-u some sliced cheese for him. He said "make sure they don't slice it on the same slicer they use to slice the meat". So when I got back at work I asked him why was that? He said "when the animal is slaughtered the memory of that tragic event is carried into all the cells of their body where it is retained and by consuming the meat you were also consuming the tragic memory of being slaughtered".

@SQAAD Not sure about sex but I've heard by eating meat/flesh you absorb the memory.

@lmfao What difference is there between the I that is doing the defining and the mind?

@SoonHei Without the world where are you? Who are you? That is deep!

@SoonHei I was reading your post then afterwards I was listening to this and thought his words and what you were expressing here were so similar. I think you may resonate with him very well. I know I do.
