@Nahm Ever wake from a dream that was so real you have to question which is the true reality? Good time for a glimpse.

@Alexo45 The answer is right here in this short 10 min. video. Stop the mind from it's constant wanting to do something. Do, do, do, do, do always wanting to do. Except what is - exactly as it is and rest as awareness.

This guy was walking past a madhouse. There was a solid fence around it with a sign that read "Mind Your Own Business". As he walked along the fence he could hear a large group of people on the other side chanting 13, 13, 13, 13. He wondered to himself why are they all chanting 13, 13, 13. His curiosity got the best of him when he found a small hole to peep through in the fence. As he looked through the hole to see what was happening on the other side he was poked in the eye with a stick. As he walked away in pain he could hear them chanting- 14, 14, 14,14.

@Bob Saget Not true. You can always surrender to faith. Faith alone is all powerfull.

@Shin Doubt keeps it fresh. Forever blooming/awakening. The dream consciousness itself is dreaming. If it wasn't for doubt the world would cease to exist. Do you really want total enlightenment?

@Shin ..................................

@Shin You mention dreaming. Just wanted to say thanks for posting Leo's "Life is a Dream" video yesterday. I forgot how good that one is. Just got done watching it again.

@Shin What it is, is that it's so obvious it's completely overlooked. Leo says "Nothing is hidden". That's once it's revealed. But before that it's well hidden in plain sight. It's like a little game we play on ourselves. Sort of like Finding Waldo. We search relentlessly for Waldo and can't find him anywhere. Than the realization comes that everything is Waldo. There has never been anything but Waldo.

@MM1988 If what you can't attract has all of your attention you may be missing what you are attracting.

@Shin No need to. It's already here for the taking.

@MM1988 Totally understood. Wasn't interested in the romantic aspect of it. The law of attraction is exactly that. You attract what you put an intention on. In a way, they come to you.

@MM1988 If you don't mind me asking what happened at the time of rejection.

@LiakosN Someday the mind will awaken from the dream of self it created just as it awakens from a dream in sleep.

@LiakosN Do dreams?

@LiakosN Mind is illusion-Maya. What is beyond mind is what is ultimately aware of all that happens within mind. Nothing wrong with mind as a tool to navigate within the illusion of space/time reality. But it's not real. The proof is it's beginning and ending just like a dream. If the mind knew what it doesn't want to know it would instantly annihilate. So it stays firmly couched in it's foundation of physical reality and holds tight to it.

@Hamilcar Beat you to it. I call it "Potty Samadhi" All joking aside maybe it's not enlightenment but a glimpse of no-self for sure. In my case there is a mirror over a sink opposite the toilet instead of a door. Makes for a good place to do some mirror gazing/self inquiry. For instance I'll ask "who is this seeing his reflection in the mirror?" Have you every tried mirror gazing? (toilet optional) It's powerful stuff.

@kieranperez This may be of help.

Yes. Crystalline- perfect clarity beyond all "states" of awareness. The absolute.

@Nondescript This is where Christianity and nonduality meet. "This is not a shared space. For it to be shared there would have to be two. Here there is not even one"

@Torkys "When you meditate it opens you up to demonic influances that cause you to feel rage". . Contemplate that statement. What does it really say?

@Genghis Khan And all the partitions came crumbling down. Happy for ya!

"May the Holy Spirit move you"

In Hinduisim it's known as Potti Samadhi

@okulele This could also be a factor. Highway hypnosis, also known as white line fever, first described in a 1921 article that mentioned the phenomenon of "road hypnotism": driving in a trance-like state while gazing at a fixed point.
