  1. There is nothing here of value in this video.
  2. @metwinn You said you felt you had no location and that was causing a fear. Instead of fearing it why not welcome it and explore it more deeply. Maybe it's time to move beyond intellectual knowlage.
  3. @Vladimir Rather than learning how to die why not practice never being born? That kind of cuts the middle man right out of the picture. No "you" to die. Just empty manifest presents. like a breeze blowing through.
  4. @metwinn This is a transitional phase between self and no-self. Let go of the "I am" along with it's fear and dwell in the ever present "I" that has no location.
  5. @Strikr On a smaller scale than a monkey writing all Shakespears books when given an infinite amout of time at a typewriter a broken clock is correct twice a day.
  6. @Tony 845 What I meant was the same driving force that brings unenlightened ppl here brings enlightened ppl. What if everyone in history that ever became awakened just disappeared into a cave never to be seen again? But it doesn't work that way. And good thing it doesn't. Bottom line it's all one consciousness expanding.
  7. @Blissout @Preetom Nisargadatta may have used "I am" interchangeably. One quote is: "stay in the I am and in doing so trancend it". And in another quote: Do not bother about anything you want, or think, or do, just stay put in the thought and feeling, ‘I am’, focusing ‘I am’ firmly in your mind. All kinds of experience may come to you – remain unmoved in the knowledge that all perceivable is transient and only the ‘I am’ endures.
  8. @Charlotte Here it makes perfect sense. Another good quote of Nis- "Recede, recede, recede. Go back the way you came". That's a good practice/contemplation for trancending the "I Am" "What were you before the announcement of your birth?"
  9. @Charlotte Reading your post I too was reminded of the words of Nisargadatta "Stay in the "I AM" and in doing so you will trancend it". Sounds like your heading in the right direction here.
  10. @Tony 845 That's a logical question but the answer can't be put into logical terms. I'm not skirting the issue but what is it that bought you here?

  12. Wow that's amazing. But I wanna grasp this asides intellectually. @non_nothing It's easy. Just let the bottom drop out of what is you and see what it is that remains. O.K. that may sound like a tall order. But there is the most amazing safety net waiting to catch you.
  13. @non_nothing We could not see what the self is and the voices are as long as we never left it.
  14. @Roman Edouard Meaning is a paradigm suspended only by the conceptual support it's given.
  15. @Roman Edouard When winter comes wood is chopped. Threat? No threat. Just the chopping of wood.
  16. @Roman Edouard The answer I gave came from a squirrel and a change in seasons. Do they need a meaning to exist?
  17. @Roman Edouard When the squirrel gathers nuts winter follows. -Just sitting here contemplating
  18. @Strikr Because there is something there that is beyond meaning.
  19. @Roman Edouard Can you see the paradox here between reality and the mind that relentlessly demands answers for it's own satisfaction? Existance has no questions or reasons why. But yet it exists just fine without.
