  1. Well if you don't know, why do you appear so certain that there is no such guide? That's exactly what spirituality is created for! That's why we're here.
  2. Drugs, for me weed, can get you in heaven, but you guessed it - it's not authentic. Authentic means that you're in heaven in your natural state. Otherwise you are always dependent on a substance to get there and that's not something you actually want. You want to find that which is always there which can take you to heaven, because if it's not always there, the absence of it will make you unhappy (obviously). I can definitely smoke some weed and get into Heaven right now, but I find that not doing weed is actually making the waters more still and I can actually see God, because I'm not chasing God.
  3. There is only one Golden Nugget - That (in you) which never changes.
  4. Umm I dont know if you've seen me mention it... But my wallet is the actual Void
  5. Damn, I'm still looking for that rep button Quick scroll down, look and then panic! I CAN'T GIVE REP WHAT HAS MY LIFE COME TO... I need to let go!
  6. Simply not true. The spiritual path becomes too foggy to walk on when one is not pure in heart. If it was normal to eat others from our species with pure heart, we'd be doing it. But it's not. It's a perversion of mind. So are all the addictions out there. I was long enough in the trap that addictions do not affect the spiritual growth. That's what the mind says when it wants to keep an addiction going - normalising it. And it works for keeping them up. If one wants to be free, one must free themselves from impure desire. Inflicting unnecessary pain to yourself and others is not a spiritually right thing to do. You know it in your heart, while your mind can handwave it away easily.
  7. If I can do it (same conditions as you + addictive personality) you can too! Try to see that you are actually eating other sentient versions of yourself. Imagine the Universe crying at seeing itself being cooked and eaten by itself due to ignorance. Animals do feel pain, and this pain WILL affect your karma. Good luck!
  8. But past doesn't exist.... Who are you referring to. Suffering is an appearance in a story. When one is centered in the present moment, one cannot help but be enlightened...
  9. Guys, listen to me, I'm freaking enlightened ok? Just look at my avatar... Pretty enlightened amirite or amirite?! Enlightenment simply means to center yourself in who you really are . In the morning when I wake up, if I experience any so called suffering, I immediately find my center and see that it's all good actually. What more do we need other than what is? If there is nothing other than what is, we should be grateful and appreciative of what is. The natural state rocks.
  10. This was without weed, actually I'm trying to cut it off.
  11. People talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Yeah Im still waiting for some of my more fortunate selves to give me 1million bucks ;o . Seriously I would give myself 1million without thinking twice... But no one is actually me but me
  12. He meant us (we) not the US ? I have probably what most would conaider an "addictive personality" , but I found it very easy to stop eating meat and drink alcohol. Now, cigarettes and weed are another story - because I had a story running in my mind that it's ok to do those, but I'm quitting them too now. It seems like being addicted to transformation and spirituality is a good way to substitute negative addictions. About coffee, I do drink from time to time when I have to do something and I feel too sleepy. So using it for its purpose basically.
  13. Tell me something about myself that only I would know to prove your radical claims? Name of the girl with which I had my first kiss? pls Or you don't mean that you're me as an Ego, but only as the formless consciousness? In which case, your post should not mention any names. You are neither Leo nor Dodo nor Nahm and that's why you don't know their experiences. Your discovery was either that 0*I = 0*You or infinity*I = Infinity*You But that does not mean that I = You.
  14. Wait.. I thought we had it in our brains and can get activated through meditation We're all holding!
  15. Ah, it's good to be bad, it makes me want to wake up right? Bad karma can be Good karma (makes u want to wake up) and Good karma can be bad karma (makes you enjoy your ignorance )
  16. The thing about science that is strong is that it makes correct predictions. There is truth to science. Of course it's not the ultimate truth .
  17. Hahhahaha! But don't touch my nothingness bro, im serious.
  18. I wouldn't mind being in a dream if it was actually a good one.
  19. Yeah pretty demonic stuff
  20. YOU ARE already enlightened. You need not be enlightened. You have simply forgotten; it is a kind of forgetfulness. Not that you have to become -- you ARE that. Just a recognition, just a turning in, just a deep look inside yourself... and you will start laughing. You have always been there! You had never left i n the first place. Enlightenment is your nature. Enlightenment is a joke because it is not something that you have to achieve, yet you have to make all possible efforts to achieve it. It is already the case: you are born enlightened. The word "enlightenment" is beautiful. We come from the source, the ultimate source of light. We are small rays of that sun, and howsoever far away we may have gone, our nature remains the same. Nobody can go against his real nature: you can forget about it, but you cannot lose it. Hence attaining it is not the right expression; it is not attained, it is only remembered. That's why Buddha called his method SAMMASATI. Sammasati means right remembrance of that which is already there. Nanak, Kabir, Raidas, they have all called it SURATI. Surati means remembering the forgotten, but not the lost. Whether you remember or not, it is there -- it is there exactly the same. You can keep your eyes closed to it -- it is there. You can open your eyes -- it is there. You can keep it behind your back -- it is there. You can take a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn and see it -- it is there. It is the same. George Gurdjieff used to call his method self-remembering. Nothing has to be achieved, nothing at all, but only to be discovered. And the discovery is needed because we go on gathering dust on our mirrors. The mirror is there covered by the dust. Remove the dust, and the mirror starts reflecting the stars, the beyond. Krishnamurti calls it awareness, alertness, attentiveness. These are different expressions for the same phenomenon. They are to remind you that you are not to go anywhere, not to be somebody else. You just have to find out who you are, and the finding is not difficult because it is your nature -- just a little reshuffling inside, a little cleaning.
