I usually change the pitch slightly while doing it sometimes, because of a binaural beat that got stuck in my mind. I think it was a third eye opening one on youtube. So I go for a continuous ommmmmm and gow lower and higher while doing it, its fun

Actually I didn't know it was working on the root chakra, so thats new. I was using om mainly for the throat chakra and the sense of aliveness I feel. Im not that into chakras and healing work and Ive been on Martins toes about it on his thread too l o l

I always have *time* for Ekhart (chuckle) Ekhart would laugh, its his type of joke

OH man, then im hitting the lottery when I do omm chants while meditating in the park. Maybe thats why im not understanding what this thread is all about

I like doing Om chanting meditation. I've heard it's the vibration of this plane of Existence.

I really dont like the idea of stopping food altogether for such long period. I am however considering to start eating only fruit, veg and nuts for a few weeks, to clean this body up a bit. Currently a vegetarian, but the jump to vegan still seems huge. Bretherianism seems too sadistic to me. The body needs nourishment. Also isn't there a real chance to become anorexic if you go long without food?

Yeah but I mean that I will hug them with the space of awareness that I am (on that level).

Who's darkest sides? Are you telling me there is a me wtf, this goes straight to my Ego bucket. But anyways, I know exactly how to deal with the darkest and dankest shit : hugs. Hug everything and dont give a f.

Well good thing im fucked up to begin with. Isn't this all about thresholds and attachment to form/identity? I really really really dont get how enlightenment work can hurt anything real in any way, even though I've seen other warnings before too... And why would you care about anything unreal. Maybe worsening the situation is exactly what you need to see what you are identifying with is not you. If you are too comfortable being an Ego, when will you transcend it. Crappy life is a good thing for spiritual realisations. It might be my ego being in mode ignorance is bliss. Also idgaf. I mean, i am a type of person that thinks to himself from time to time: Man, i wish they bomb the planet on a Monday and not on a Friday or it will suck Maybe I'm not deep enough in this yet to know what you mean.

DId you want kundalini awakening or what? I still am on the fence whether this is spiritual or anti spiritual thing, since its about enhancing the body, right?

My thoughts on this is that what we think is our 100%, after enlightenment is seen as being less than 1%. It's like now you see the 1% illusion of matter as reality, without including the 99+% (ultimately 100%) empty space. All the benefits that follow.. Maybe that's what the empty space's nature is. Also it cannot die. So the 1% can die happy knowing it never even was born lol

Can you find fault in this logic? I know logic is not the experience but it can be helpful I think on the path to it. If the I is not located anywhere, then it is either is nothing or everything(infinity). Since the I feels like something, then it is not nothing, so the only possibility is that I am the no-thing that is God/infinity and not Death(absolute nothing). But since infinity is made out of nothing, I essentially am nothingness, but the nothingness is aware of itself, which makes it infinity/God. Where is nothing located? Everywhere

Meditation is the way to find yourself, but you shouldn't be opposed to noise or other opinions. Everyone loves a circlejerk, but if you have the truth of silence / stillness/ your true self, nobody can say anything that will bother you. SO those characters in your life, the haters, the noise makers, the doubters- they offer you the opportunity to see meditation, your true self in the midst of experience. No, you cannot control others and they will never 100% do as your Ego wants so it can be happy and at peace. They are showing you there is deeper to go. If you can only find peace when doing a formal meditation, you have not found the silence behind the noise, or the nothingness behind and within everything! Also, haters gonna hate and fate is gonna fate

I simply am too, but I noticed that this sentence can be used to justify the existence of an Ego that "simply is", which doesn't help us. Im sure you know this already , but for the sake of conversation, we have to be sure what is that I that simply is.

Looks like she is having a 5-MeO trip and her face is being punched by invisible ninjas so she can experience the no self! I like it!

Mind doesnt need to know anything, what You need to do is sense the presence of nothingness with Your (Nothingness') Awareness, which is the same as awareness becoming aware of itself. That's tricky, at least for me, but my practise is clearer now with this understanding (ok maybe its good for the mind to know something hehe :D). So Nothingness becomes aware of nothingness, but this is the realm of nonduality, so to answer your question awareness, nothingness, God, presence all are one no-thing that is you, consciousness, absolute infinity. It's tricky (impossible for the mind to become aware of true nothingness) so thats why disidentification with mind/Ego is needed, so you can increase the faculty needed to sense that nothingness - that faculty is awareness! Only awareness can sense awareness (nothigness); only infinity is big enough to hold within its sight infinity; Only nothingness is small enough to see nothingness; Only you can discover your true self! I am not enlightened, but this is my understanding so far.

WHy am I seeing this post only now? Maybe I'll give this a go, if its still free.

I listened to this on repeat the entire day during work and at home. It is so very very clear, love Ekhart, he once saved my life and now showing me heaven, what a saint Ofcourse i have more contemplating to do..

This point needs to be crushed into our egos over and over until they pop:)

Wow, the first two look like some Ayahuasca inspired drawings ive seen. Was this the case for you?

Ofcourse but those have no job in this forum, right? Maybe in the other sections. Yeah doesnt have to be a hostile attitude, but since its like an addiction we need to recognise we want to change it. Even tho its not ultimately bad, just like a cigarette additiction. I wonder if in the futute there will be "Ego is harmful to you and those close to you" signs everywhere

Yet to enjoy life the most, they say, one has to recognise enlightenment... So yeah, having an Ego stops you from that. Just based on what all the teachers say. Basically the truth to free us all can only be said by silence,because words are objects and not the emptiness we try to talk about. So the post we all need is never going to be posted, but it is always posted also (the no post), it's just that we dont see it! lol

Without the eternal you're dissing, what's any experience good for. Comes and goes, then mind dies and what? Sure enjoy being an ego and enjoy the birth rebirth cycle of ignorance, learning, work and suffering. I think this forum is for egos that want out of this(imo useless) game by realising our true nature.
