I am one of those people who love to use their time on the train for meditation. It's the perfect place, especially if the train is somewhat empty - Because even the mind knows - now we are in the train for so and so minutes - we cannot do anything else - now we can finally be fucking still and surrender to it!! Yesterday, I managed to completely relax by following my breath and something amazing happened - more than once. I was sitting there... hands on my lap, closed eyes... taking a deep breath and holding it once in a while, but then normalizing the breath so that it is not forced, but still through the diaphragm. I was with my back against the very comfortable seat and I was also doing two other types of meditation in between breath awareness - noticing emptiness and noticing the body sensations. At some point I got so still that it was like my body started to vibrate at the stillness frequency, I felt complete peace and BLISS and in the blackness in front of my eyes I could see emerging beautiful vibrating darkness - I can't really explain it, but I know one thing - it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L . I could feel my feet - such a grounding sensation, very physical, very blissful. My entire body felt like a rock - I didn't feel the need to do anything - it was perfect as it is. My cup is empty, I have nothing in the material world almost and this type of experience shows me the spiritual teachings are not for nothing. I could reach that level of stillness about 5 times during that journey and also before I got on the train while I was waiting on the very comfortable benches. It seems that this level of stillness requires certain type of comfort and security on the side of the environment, at least for me . It feels like such stillness cannot be had in hell (a place where people/entities would not leave you alone when you close your eyes - yeah that's my definition of hell) , but is very possible in heaven (the place where they do leave you alone when you close your eyes). 10/10 experience, would try again. Now I know some of what Eckhart meant by Stillness Speaks! Peace!

That's only if you buy into the materialistic paradigm and that you are the body that is sleeping. From direct experience, the waking disappears when you are in dream and dreamless sleep. -

It's important in spiritual purification that one drops any double life, any hypocrisy and mal intent. I'm pretty sure the top spiritual teachers are beings that are touched by the pure. The mind can weave all webs it wants. I've had thoughts and even dreams about how Mooji becomes a homicidal maniac when the cameras are off. It's all mind folks! But it would make for a good book/movie? -

Watch any of the Mooji invitations. You can take it outside satsang. -

There is no difference between being physically awake and spiritually awake, because the physical is spiritual. -

That's not what I said at all, no idea where you took it from. I said that we don't create the traps by describing them. It's the other way round. We describe the traps that are there. They are there before we describe them. -

My spiritual life is infinite happiness forever. Waiting! ? I don't think it's nice to say things that are unverifiable or simply not true just to sound wise. I prefer when people say things that can be tested and checkmarked as true. This one here sounds like the lie of attraction stuff. -

Because the dream is of reality. If it were real that's how it would feel and if it's a dream that's how it would feel. I think real and dream are equivalent words, because there is no other reality for separate selves. This dream cannot be more real... It's a true masterpiece from God for God. Just a lil shitty for the egos sometimes lol. -

I meditated in hospital after taking rat poison. It was very peaceful. The old folk next to my bed was praying almost constantly out loud. It was when Leo posted the self enquiry advanced tips video. I still remember looking out the window while watching that video and the beautiful view. Magical. What is actual. -

Where is my mind [3x] Way out in the water See it swimmin' ? With your feet in the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse If there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself Where is my mind [3x] Oh With your feet in the air and your head on the ground Oh Try this trick and spin it, yeah Oh Oh -

The void is the null dimension, the only thing that is real, it's closer than close to you, because it is who you and all of us are at the deepest level. It is the shapeless, colourless, propertyless subject of your experience. The light that shines and makes your experience knowable. The Void is God. To the Ego it's hell. -

"But Mooooom i was just reaching enlightenment #4, I'll clean my room later!!" ? -

Then someone disturbs his meditation and he goes mental! -
Dodo replied to Shanmugam's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
A better way to put it is: There are consciously awake and unconsciously awake beings. We are all awake. We are awareness/awakeness itself. We don't need to know it to be it. But it's good to know our true nature -

Last time I really looked within I saw some amazing stuff. It felt like wow, this is always here and I always have access to it if I turn my mind away from the outside. The problem that you stated in the beginning was about "total disinterest in anything.". That's good, because there is nothing interesting out there anyway! Spot on.
-
You have a disinterest in anything for a good reason. What you should be interested in is turning the mind inwards. Just asking the question "Am I aware" and the question "Without looking at my body, how do I know that I have a body" are some of the most important things the mind can do. And breathing of course. Follow your breath. Being somehow already knows.

So tantra with my 2 girlfriends - they are twins. Left and Right exact mirror images!! If you know what I mean... Things can get freaky. They are very submissive and do exactly as I say... It's crazy
-
That escalated qui.. In the exact frame of time pre-determined by the powers that be. @Barna pls tell me what is the most relaxing meditation possible
-
Me-di-tati-ng? Can you eat that?

For me too! Although I cant deny its nice to have the opportunity to test spirituality - weather i can live in peace while things are not going my way. It's easy to be at peace when comfortable.
