@mandyjw In your post notice how many times you refered to yourself existing within time- I was, I will, I've gone, I thought, ect. Surrender the "I". Surrender the "I" by surrendering time past and future. The "I" cannot exist without the sense of time. It is it's fuel. Cut off it's fuel and the "I" will quickly wither leaving only the now. In the now "Being" emerges. Being is what you are. Being is truth. Not the "I". Stop pretending to be what you are not. Don't be afraid to be what you already are. -Nisargadatta And it is happening now. You just don't see it because time and mind is partitioning enlightenment from you. But this is it! You already are it. But you don't see that now because of the illusion of time. No one has ever become enlightened existing within time. Faith is a creator. Doubt is a destroyer. Have you ever seen Mooji's video "Christ Consciounseness". If you think Christ or Buddha only existed thousands of years ago, this video will shatter that illusion.

@Baotrader For you my friend. Don't give up!

@Ingit There are millions of ppl around the world that have far worse problems than yours.

@lmfao You've never been born. Yes there is the body/mind. It is available to you so by all means use it. But that is not what you are.

Here's a vacuum storage chamber I had lying around for years. Made by Lumicon. They were once used for hypersensitizing film for astro photography. It comes with a manual vacuum pump and a fitting for adding the desiccant gas of your choice. Would work perfectly by the discription above. *Google image but what I have is very similar if not identical.

@MM1988 Learning something new every day. Thanks

@MM1988 Just wondering. What's is "E"? Is that a yoga term? And why do you think you may be "releasing neurotransmitters"? I've never heard of that either. Thanks

@seeking_brilliance Just stay on it. Leo said something yesterday that rings so true. To paraphrase: We are 99.99% the limited self. It's the 0.01% part of us part that wants to break free. This is the ground where that 0.01% is found.

@SOUL Haha well that's about the crux of it. When it all collapses in on itself. Castles made of sand as every thought a grain of sand.

@seeking_brilliance Exactly. You gotta stay on it. It's kind of like breaking in a wild horse. It will want to run it's own way every chance it gets.

After some time of continual practice the mind quiets down and finally surrenders to silence. Than the vail of the limited self is lifted as the true self, the infinate self void of location or identity is revealed.

@seeking_brilliance If you've seen that then your not a newbie. No hidden secret. Just the the disappearance of the "I Am"

Just a side note for anyone who may be a newbie to self inquiry: Self inquiry isn't just a formal sit-down meditation. Anytime a thought or memory arises throughout the day is an opportunity to practice self inquiry. That's at least 10,000 times a day or more for most ppl. Whenever a thought arises ask: Who is having this thought/memory/experiance?

@WindInTheLeaf His aim is both true and powerful as his answers deeply penetrate the bulls eye of the question. *I'm going to ask you to please refrain from challenging the OP's way of teaching whether you agree with it or not. It is a distraction for those who are willing to learn from him. Thanks

@winterknight Your answers exceed the question asked. That's a rare gift.

@winterknight Is the first 12 min. of this all that needs to be realized for enlightenment?

@TheBeachBionic You've been warned about this before on several occasions. Stop posting the same topic over and over and stop PM'ing ppl about it or you will be permanently banned. Last warning!!!

What is beyond something and no-thing can't be grasped by the mind.

@Leo Gura I'm sure you could find toilet paper to match.

@Leo Gura If it's the Masculine Toliet it's already taken.

@Baotrader I've never seen armodafinil in person so I wouldn't know the real thing from the bogus stuff. Did you try google images to check there?

@Baotrader Sorry no.

@Bernard

@Bernard I get panic attacks thinking about getting stuck in reality.

@winterknight Bohm would agree.
