  1. From my own experience: a lot of approaches that deal with angels or mediumship or channeling are not related to truth or enlightenment.
  2. @Shin I don't know, somehow since 3-4 days what you write does make much more sense. Did a shift happen in you the last days or is it just me perceiving it that way?
  3. Actually you don't have to do anything with it. If it is resistance, it's ok. If it is release, it is ok.
  4. Eckhart's Power of Now and A New Earth got me addicted to spirituality. Couldn't really leave the path since.
  5. @Annetta I met a lot of great teachers so I cannot say he is the best because I don't want to devalue other teachers. But he is very very good.
  6. @Annetta I don't know, I don't listen to him. I only heard him say that he likes Adyashanti and UG Krishnamurti when I watched 1-2 videos some time ago. That's what I remember.
  7. One has to mention that Rali did listen to Adyashanti a lot, that is where he has the model from.
  8. No, until the last post I was just arguing on an mathematical level. For me "emptiness" doesn't depend on the absence or presence of the universe. The absence of a cow still happens within the universe. An absence can be a doorway but is imo not the same as emptiness.
  9. Emptiness is that in which your world arises in. It's not an absence or a presence of an object (e.g. cow).
  10. Also you are using different "infinite", one time you use countable "0+0+0+0+0+..." and then you use uncountable infinite. Obviously it is not the same.
  11. So, let's say we have {0,1} which is a field. How can the "0" here represent emptiness when the set itself has only two elements? Doesn't make sense to me.
  12. Didn't someone say that you were studying mathematics? I'm a bit confused that you are not able to see what I'm talking about.
  13. Hey, I did this mental masturbation called "math" for 1 year at university and things like this are the first things one learns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics)#Classic_definition
  14. "0" is not a label of emptiness. It is a label for an element of the set over which the field (here R) is defined over which the vector space (here R3) is defined. So it cannot represent emptiness as emptiness "should" go beyond "something" and definitions. Edit: as you can see you cannot define a field without the "0": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics)#Classic_definition
  15. You cannot proof something which itself just uses definitions which itself are just assumptions. "0" is a definition. And "0" by definition is part of the field which means it cannot be beyond it. So "0" cannot really be emptiness as it is defined.
  16. San Pellegrino is part of the Nestle-Mafia. Don't support them by drinking that anyway. If you live in Europe "Lauretana" is pretty good.
  17. Hmm, not really anything that I don't already have or seem interesting to me. But as everyone can pick one book, I am also willing to share mine and add to the list: - Spiral Dynamics Integral, Don Beck - Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness: The Gift of Redemptive Love, Adyashanti - It Won't Hurt Forever: Guiding Your Child Through Trauma, Peter A. Levine - Healing Trauma: Restoring the Wisdom of the Body, Peter A. Levine - Sexual Healing: Transforming the Sacred Wound, Peter A. Levine - The Greatest Discovery: Insights and Guided Meditations for the Direct Experience of Freedom, Gangaji - The Self in Full Bloom: Teachings and Practices for Embodied Awakening, Mukti - Falling into Grace: Insights on the End of Suffering, Adyashanti - The One of Us: Living From the Heart of Illumined Relationship, Mukti / Adyashanti
  18. Most people use meditation that way. But of course it has nothing to do with truth and a buddhist with some experience should know that. Could you tell what kind of background that center has?
  19. Maybe Feldenkrais could help? Examples: https://houstonfeldenkrais.com/2010/09/04/bestmoveslist/
