@Truth Addict It's brilliant used to do that a lot at the beginning. Thank you for reading, I'm happy to share here, and just be.

What level? Sure I enjoy a lot of things I previously suffered from. Even pain and frustration just pass me by. I am at a deep peace of simple being. Being a fool.

Do nothing (surrender, no manipulation, acceptance) Focus on breath Mantra Mindfulness Self-Inquiry Prayer (I'm not religious) Listening to people share without judging, compassionately. Contemplation Feeling into emotions (also writing)

Beautiful! Thank you for the insights. Remember, you wake up, but there's really no other place to live through other than the dream. Many things within the dream are still important, if you wanna have a powerful life. The dream is not a bad thing, it's magic, and it's miraculous!

God on 'himself'

My friend and I have been inquiring live, and thanks to his clever input I had some profound insight into the sneaky nature of thought. I think it deserves it's own thread. The thing is, there are especially sneaky "glue" thoughts that seem almost invisible to the rational process, yet they play a major role in deluding one's mind to "know" things it doesn't actually know. These are some examples: Relation Seperation Identification Imply Conclusion Know Meaning Sentence example: "Are thoughts separate from awareness?" - notice how the thought just added itself without you noticing and introduced separation where there is none? "It appears as if you conclude things but I don't see how you reach the conclusion." "Thought can not imply. Nor is it any kind of movement. All thought is your illusion, just like any identification, process, or resistance." "Thought can’t identify, nor can thought love" Please add more if you have any, Thank you for reading, Goodluck on your journey fellow travelers! Credit to Nahm

I like to think of the mind as an echo chamber of multiple inputs. Like a broken record it repeats stimuli over and over, pretending that it's doing the "thinking", while it's just a bouncing pile of crap in a bucket.

One can hear memories of audio, like a file opening and playing. If the mind is very quiet, you can literally "hear" it sometimes. It feeds directly into the mind's hearing module and so there's no need for actual sound.

Being judgmental is part of our animal nature, so don't judge the human animal for doing it's 'barking'.

There's only one problem. You ask for help, but act like you don't want it. Without being open, willing, humble, and learning to listen, no good will ever come of this. This is the most important part - work on your character, all else will follow. At the root of all is Identity, from it stem all other aspects.

To act, first learn to be. The best action is no-action. This means a great deal will be accomplished, but no action or thought were involved. Allow yourself to be as you are, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. It's all god's will. Allow god's will to guide you - to do this, let go of your will.

I've never considered this. And what does that mean? I can't see thoughts, but I can sure hear them, and see inner visions. (also think about hearing, and the inner vision) Also think about thinking - which is what is referred to as reflection - It's merely an echoing of different aspects of awareness, pretending to be "related".

Extremely effective! It's the basic tool of the sage. I agree with my friend here, that it's pretty advanced and nuanced, and very very susceptible to distortion. Read many sources and contemplate it thoroughly before implementing. It's very counterintuitive in the sense that it's not being '"Optimistic" - Expecting things to go well is deep well of disappointment. The most effective and basic work is gratitude, simply see all the good small things that surround you and journal them daily, this will start shifting your mind to the frequency of positive mind - which will alter your reality to its core.

Could there be a duality here?

@Joseph Maynor I resonate with your words. It's all about being honest with yourself, as long as it quenches your thirst, drink from the fountain. Intuition is smarter than it appears, because sometimes what seems unreasonable leeds into the most reasonable outcome.

@seeking_brilliance Thank you for your support! Yes "know" is one of these suckers. (added to the list, while I still have editing permissions XD)

Incredible! Upon reading this, it feels like there could be no more question left. Thank you dear Nahm.

@SOUL Incredible! As always. I love the thought of awareness taking many forms, like it's formless but shapeshifts and becomes what it is 'required' of it. Good to have you back, your thought is like fresh water in the desert. How do you reach such deep insights? Are you channeling Winter Knight?

Sometimes the cons are the ones that end up being the gifts.

@Joseph Maynor It appears you have a naturally gifted hardware for this. What a luck, I'm very happy for you. Cheers!

@Joseph Maynor Amazing! I just imagined a fetus practicing mindfulness. Cool!

@Roman Edouard Hello Roman, Thank you for the discussion. It appears you are comfortable with the material paradigm, it's good as long as you are there. With the happiness discussion I would say that while a happy state is not permanent, serenity can be state-independent upon a practice of acceptance. And it will bring more satisfaction in the long term. I love having money and buying nice things, and also love to be independent of circumstances. These can sure go together! Cheers.

Beautiful! To win - surrender.

@Joseph Maynor Hey man! How many years of practice? And what kinds, if I may ask.

Incredibly high "access concentration" state, apparently you are very good at concentrating. Either this or you went full fantasy mode.
