Most was covered by posts above, so I want to add only that its good to self inquire while falling asleep, the process just might continue subconsciously throughout the sleep cycles and you find yourself waking up in self inquiry.

Next time you sit, do it in a chair (if you're not doing it already) so there are no "uncomfortableness" excuses. Next is try to imagine someone else is meditating, not you, you just observe as if everything is happening to someone else. When you get the feeling you cant do it anymore, try the following (courtesy of @Martin123 ): Take a deep breath into your belly, holding the feeling /emotion/sensation, 6 seconds, hold the breath for 6 more seconds and exhale for 6 seconds visualising how the feeling is being let go. (Martin, not sure if its exactly what you had written but thats how im doing it :-D Feel free to correct me)

The image of Ramana is powerful, I love to visualise it

You have no idea how many time I've watched and liked this video on Facebook as it pops on my feed. I have a bunch of spiritual pages liked, building a case for how social media can be helpful too

I vote self enquiry, which you should actually be doing like all the time. Self inquiry is unconditional, always go for that which you always have access to no matter what. Because thats a spot which you can hit the most amount of times.

Knowing the answer is not the same as solving the problem.

@AlwaysBeNice Beautiful video. I always stress to myself that both relative and absolute must co-exist forever and ever and ever! Amen

There is no certain way an enlightened being is... The enlightenment you study is a fabrication of the mind and does not exist - it has been said and you know it, but you keep on thinking that your idea of enlightenment is what it is supposed to be based on what you've been told. No, enlightenment does not mean you are pro psychedelics. In fact if you cannot recognise it here now without any external help, it's not important, so dont chase it. Or chase it. The idea I'm trying to communicate is there is no right and wrong doing.

You lost me :-D not what I had in mind Not my first hand experience that is

How much empty space do you need to be fulfilled? How much empty space does empty space need to be fully filled?

When the universe teases your notification addicted ego :-D :'( :'( :'(

Harness the energy from the fear and anxiety and use it to overcome the fear and anxiety. Turn fear and anxiety into fuel, and let it fuel you into living life fully.

Maybe they would be as real as the one we are in right now... Meaning they might, or might not be real. But the experience of them would definitely be real.

Both True and False at the same time? And neither true nor false too? And just true? And just false? And not even those mentioned above? But at the same time those mentioned above? roflmao??

How do I let my true self be aware of itself? It's utterly wild. It does not know itself at all. It's my biggest nightmare. If my true self is nothing in existence, then I must reside outside of existence. Maybe we are the outside of existence, the nothingness that is eternally here. Now.

The mind trying to achieve something we already are.. Because it perceives emptiness as lack from it's illusory point of view. Every point of view is an illusory point of view! Thats my reasoning behind agreeing with what you wrote :-D But the search is important in order for one to realise they have forgotten who they trully are. Nothing is to be achieved, but there's a lot to be unachieved- the clouds which are covering up our true nature! Disclaimer : I don't know what im talking about.

Only part of the story, but true

If you're aware, the experience is real - even if it's in a dream.

Illusion's a bitch! Halfway through the video you posted... This seems to be a great one. Going beyond beingness? Wtf, I thought beingness was truth! Exactly the video I needed I guess, to challenge what I think I know
