@Meta Morphoses Oh dude why you nitpick so hard =DD Did I say Im gonna miss all of my appointments now? Of course not! Of course I meant the flow state, which I have now been able to keep up consistantly for 24hours now. Time is a social institution. If you live in a society, you follow it. Other than that, you don't need time at all. You need time only when relating to others. -

@Yellow So like.. once I didnt do it and I had the deepest experience ive ever had in my meditation habbit so far (prolly can call it enlightenment experience, or unconditional love of all) It kind of makes your mind go a liiittle crazier, so it can be benefitial in that sense, but it is not necessary (and messy, my shirt was soaked after 60minutes, I had eaten a pineapple just before that =DD). -
@Heba Oh didn't know you wanted a freebie, my bad on that one. Truth be told, free certificates won't have much quality to them.

@Heba cmon man, google.com ? Do a little research yourself! x)

@Extreme Z7 Isn't it the case that there will always be newbies? For every newbie who advances to intermediate and advanced, there will be 3 new newbies who are confused.

Sounds compulsive. I like Athene, he's smart, but I disagree with his views on enlightenment. edit: I think you can reach both, great efficiency and effectivity, while "your reward center being connected to being". Logic seems to me like a compulsive need to always maximize the outcome of everything. Also what puts me off is his arrogant tone. It is strange, he does talk about not identifying yourself with your story, but yet it seems he has glorified his ego in a way. Which makes sense because his aim is not ego-transcendence, so I guess that is completely fine. But yet can't help but notice that arrogant layer in his speech and it makes me wonder, whether there wouldn't be a better way of communicating his truths and views! :-) -
Is it just an excuse for a spiritual arrogance and label for difficult children who are non-conformists because of the way their parents didn't attend to them when they needed? Or is it legit? What do you guys think?

@Beyond Words Have you thought about education? It seems you have a very broad interest in many fields and at the same time you are very creative. Creating a new educational system where there is more conscious effort put into "what you're teaching" would fit your statement and abilities imo.

Today I had a deep realization of timelessness. I heard Allan Watts talking about time being rather a social institution and I my logical mind agree with it. But today I realized that reality doesn't care about time. There is just the present moment that is infinitely deep, in which everything takes place. Freaky experience kinda. haha

@meditach Don't worry. The path of meditation is often unclear, often it seems like you are going backwards. But chill. Trust the process. -

@meditach The trick is not getting lost in the ideas, but rather observing them. That's mindfulness. Concentration is a whole different thing. Check out Leo's videos on meditation (especially the guided one), that should give you a gist of what the goal of meditation should be! :-) -
@Natura Sonoris Have you seen his rant against PUAs?

Martin123 replied to meditach's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@meditach Concentration meditation is a good start, but the effects aren't too great. It is easier for building the habit, but once you've established it, I don't see a point in it. See it as two levels - concentration would be the newbie entrance point, mindfulness meditation would be the higher level. Once you are comfortable with doing 30minutes + with just mindfulness meditation, go for just that and ditch the old concentration meditation, it would only make matters go longer. It would basically become a form of resistance to the process of emotional catharsis. -

@Azrael Indeed. I have never considered myself to be a truth-seeker, I tend to have fun on the middle grounds of spirituality with emotions, subconsciousness, relationships and metaphysics. Indigo is in this area, and I feel like I fall into that category. But I tend to shy away from it in fear of falling into an arrogant standpoint "I am different than everyone else, I am THE NONCONFORMIST, YOU ALL LOSERS CANT SEE THE WORD LIKE MHEEEE OH YOU PEASANTS! BOW!" =D. ... like the video on indigos from JP sears! =D. -
Sup dudes. Do you think our western system is approaching an inevitable fail, and there will be an opportunity to create a new system from the ashes of the old one? Trump, Terrorism, Media, mainstream food, animal torture, nuclear energy booming, Putin, the passive hippies "spreading love all around" , individual suffering, underdeveloped educational system, oppression of children and other groups, suppressive culture and we could go for days... All of this just seems to create a lot of chaos and conflict. Do you think there is a huge fail ahead?
-
@WaveInTheOcean Oh. My vision includes loads of people dying, just because there are some lost cases who I cannot imagine rising to higher consciousness. (But of course there would be casualties, I could be among those). But in the end, as there will be a conflict that will create a lot of pain and death, a sort of chance for a utopian post apocalyptic world could happen.
-
@Pramit Oh ok, so your view is the "we are doomed". I disagree, but heck it's totally legit =D. I just choose to be optimistic.
-
@Epiphany_Inspired Oh there totally can be a catalyst from the outside. Look at what leo's doing. He's a catalyst for many.
-
@aurum The thing that won't go off my mind is Eckhart Tolle's views on it. He always talks about dissolving the ego fully, not coming back to it. When I think about it though, it would be hella difficult to live in a western world without being able to play a "game of ego".

ENFP, it is freakishly accurate.

Illuminati thumbnails confirmed, Robot world domination, humanity ending through the evil of mindfulness.

Any suggestions? It is a field I am now probably gonna dive into for a decade or so. I will start with The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Transpersonal Psychology. You guys have any other ideas? :-)

@Bob84 The mere existence of this thread came from ego. As well as the comment you just quoted. As well as my answer to it. but its ok, I am nowhere near enlightened! :-)
